displays in the exhibit. No effort has
been spared to make the people from
this section of the country feel proud
of the articles from Walla Walla coun-
ty and in spite of the fact that other
counties pledged a great deal more
money for the same purpose. their ex-
hibits will be no better than the one

ular collection of fruit, vegetables, ETC.,

The praped Scarf.

Among the most interesting revivals OF
the modes which prevailed at the time OF
the Directoire must be reckoned the vogue
for these long scarves OF crepe de chine
or silk gauze with fringed ends, which
make always such a graceful addition to a
close-fittingf costume. These scarves can
be arranged in a number of different ways
and can be so cleverly draped that they
will conceal the bad points of the figure
and emphasize the good ones, while at the
same time they give a general air of grace
and elegance too often absent altogether
from the clinging Dlrectoire gown. when
its severe outlines are left altogether un-
broken. These long scarves can also be
very becomingly draped in fichu from,
when the exact centre of the scarf should
be drawn down to a point at the back of
the waist and tackled firmly TO the bodice
The long draperies are then brought
quite lightly over the shoulders. where
also they will need a few stitches here
and there TO keep them in their place.
From the shoulders they can either hang
quite loosely TO within few inches of the
hem, or they can be caught together on
the front OF the bodice in the conven-
tional Marie Antoinette fashion and then
lightly knotted so that the ends fall on
TO the skirt.

LACINGS FOR TRIMMINGS

Lacings are to be seen on a number
of the rev models.
silk cords. narrow, velvet and mar
row stitched bands of satin and silk
are used.
They are finished at the end with
silk bows. tassels or drops.
Again they are constructed of bead
ing or Of jet.
Sometimes a single string is laced
across an opening on rows of tiny
buttons.
Oftener two strings are used, made
to criscrcss through eyelets.
The eyclet form is most common.
The lacings run down the sides oi
panels. on both skirt and waist.
Sometimes they are zigzagged spirally
down the waist from shoulder to hem
They are also used along the shoul.
der seam and down the sleeves.
A lavendar lace trimmed evening
gown laced with lavender and silver
silk cord, was very lovely.
