The library movement made its
.,,ongest showing when more than
ehundred people attended the or
caujntion meeting Tuesday night
j the Parish house. The meeting
had been called by the ladies of the

we're the first to take up the move

libraries at Yakima and Walla
Walla.
Most important of all each one
had been invited to bring book to
the meeting and the response to the
request was generous, and Kenne-
wick now has the books for the be-
ginning of a library. Before now
when the library project was broach-
ed the talk always drifted to big
building Carnegie or somebody else
would furnish the funds to build
which could be pointed out to visit
ors as one of the sights of the town.
Now the practical is to be done and
we are to have reading rooms, stock
ed with an increasing number of
books and the library is to grow
and develop into an institution to
be used by all the people, great and
small.
The new institution is to be man
aged for the public by the delegates
from the woman's organizations and
by three men appointed to cooper
ate with them, Messrs. Ii. NJ. Bart
lett, A. r. Gardner and H. II.
Humphrey.
Mrs. II. M. Bartlett, president of
the Library Association presided in
her usual happy manner. So the
insistent talk of the few, the work
Of the young men who organized q
Library Club, the resolution of the
Socialist local, the agitation in the
schools for a library have finally
crystalized into fact and Kennewick
has nucleus for a library. May its
growth in number of volumes and
number of eager readers be rapid

story. II they do spend the money they
ought at least to get admirable results
from it. and when they fail to do this

The group OF frocks which we have

difficult to pick and choose where so much

Long frocks we have left of the list,
yet of course the debutante may with
perfect propriety don her long frock
for certain occasions and is fairly sure to
insist upon the right which stamps her
new estate. This winter the short frock
figures more prominently than usual
even with older women and is available
for almost every occasion in so far as the
debutante is concerned. but the trail

gown &C, are hers il she wants them and
several of the models sketched might be
lengthened without injury.
Several short dancing frocks the wise
debutante will surely have. They are
far more youthful. more comfortable
and more graceful for their purpose than
the frock which must be held up, and in
this time of new frilliness and fulness
