SPRING FASHION.

In the spring a woman's fancy
lightly turns on things 10 wear, says
the New York World. II is no mis-
take to place the peach-basket hat
among the topmost topics OF the
present hour. Touching the other
extreme. there is the proposal TO IN.
crease the tariff on stockings. al
though we arc not in the habit or cul-
tivating fashions for revenue only.
Despite the threatening duties, there
are TO be many tints. from violet 10
violent, with or without ornamental
designs from elusive to exuberant.
To fair followers OF fashion who are
blessed with elbow dimpleS the re-
turn of the long sleeve should be a
painful event. Yet II the designer or
new things DEGREES no radical de-
partures, how shall they know he ID
busy? Art In the mode cannot live
by grace alone. II is perhaps re-
ldtcu ldCl lHdl Shii lS are w Dc iuiiti
and understands TO multiply. Those
need the money who sell such stun
as petticoats are made OF. hence away
with the scant severity OF the Direc-
toire folds. Let us live and let live
without getting out OF style.
Along with modes in dress there
are modes in thought These AFFECT
as we'll girls In college as women in
cults. At Vassar, therefore, follow
ing a fashion of the moment, there
Is discussion OF sexless suffrage.
and we read in one gentle protest that
women should not vote because they
have higher sphere" TO which
the response is immediate and OBJ.
Wous: IF women have a higher
sphere IL should be alI-incIusiye and
not withdraw itself from the lower
sphere"
To turn from the abstract to the
concrete-not even the peach. basket

Whereas, In recognition Of this us

the people Of this state, by the plant
ing OF trees, shrubs and vines. In the

ture; that state, county and municipal
officers take advantage OF this occasion
to adorn the public grounds; that the

WAKE UP TO THE
OPPORTUNITIES.

Clifford Plnchot, In his Tabernacle
address. confessed that the impress
sion made upon him during his pres
cnce at the session of the National Ir-
rigation Congress IN Ogden was a
weighty factor in deciding on the To-
cation of the forestry headquarters
for this district
This is something the people OF
Ogden should ponder over. The ben
eflts Of boosting are brought home
TO us. The Congress might have ap-
peared as thing of passing worth
only, to be classed with holiday 1oI-
lll1cations, but evidently 1t was some
thing moro. Aside from the work or
the congress, the gathering helped TO
draw outside attention to one OF the
most beautiful spots in the United
States and gave men OF the broad view
OF Mr.. Pinchot a surprise which held
their admiration even after they had
left the city.
Why not another congress, this time
the Wool Growers convention, and
why not put the same thought and
energy into making the event a sue
cess? And again, why not go out after
othcr conventions and become famous
as convention city whose people are
hospitable, enterprising and worthy or
even greater city.
