Graceful Simplicity.

from the Philadelphia Record.
Simplicity is the keynote Of the new
fashions and the untrimmed dress is the
fashion OF the moment One pays a fab
ulous price for a chiffon tunic in the
fashion OF the peasantry over a satin
foundation. exquisiteIy soft and fine Of
texture but absurdly inexpensive In com
parison with the price asked for the
gown. Stocks and yokes are Of the sim
plest kind Of plain net, as the smart
designers have pronounced against ex-
pensive elaborate laces for this purpose
But they are so graceful in line and won
drous in color that the lack of adorn-
ment is not to be regretted &
It is a harvest season for the home
dressmakers, for If one has a little skill
in cutting and fitting and a knowledge
Of the little arts of good dressmaking
the most charming frocks can be evolved
without the expense Of elaborate orna
mentation. Soft chiffon or satin folds
and bands are the favorite modes Of
finishing and trimming, but they must
be sewed on by hand, as heavy macbjne
stitches are not consistent with the soft
ness and grace Of the draperies and lines
or the present fashions. Another pretty
form OF trimming which is much used
is double hemstitching, which is often
done by machine, as il Is used
in all shapes and forms on chiffon or
satin blouses or gowns. making hand
work. in this one instance, unavailable.
as hand hem5titching must always be
done on the straight grain of the ma
terial 1t is really a charming trimming
and as many sewing machines have
these little he:nstitching attachments one
can easily trim a blouse in any manner
desired by first marking the design to
be followed.

Women to Have Pockets.

London-once again. after many
months, women are to have pockets. Such
is the decree Of the arbiters Of fashion.
The question among women. however, IS,
VIII the revival of pockets affect the
vanity beE?'
Many women believe that as the new
pockets are TO be made OF dainty en-
broideries. the majority Of women viii
fear TO put them TO useful purpose.
The tube gown and the long tube"
coat made pockets quite impossible. but
the new simple and more normal coats
and skirts and little dresses have coat
pockets and ornamental square pockets
trimmed largely with buttons OF the same
material as the gown. There are large
oblong gold buttons. large round military
buttons OF gold or silver. and pearl
shaped buttons, all stylish and becoming.
Most Of Ire frocks this spring are fastened down
the side front

FROM WOMANS'
POINT OF VIEW

It was TO be expected that ban would
be placed upon the murderous weapons
worn as hatplns. Large hats needed long
pins. and when the heads rested fatty
against the hat and the points were con-
cealed there was no fault 10 be found
with a necessary piece OF feminine prop
erty. Then some inventive mind eonceiv-
ed the snowy pin with a head which re-
fused to lie fat TO the hat. and when
women forsook the big hat and adopted
turbans the pins became a real menace.
| There is no room for a vanity which
carries a menace Streets are crowded.
shops are crowded. cars OF all kinds are
more than crowded. Feminine wearing
apparel has been adapted TO this longest
ed condition. save in one instance--mIl-
merry. Huge hats have apparently come
TO stay. but there is no need of protrud-
ling wings and hatpins. and a Iong-suffer-
/ ing public is hound 10 see that danger Is
/ eliminated Last week a young girl was
an object of attention for half an hour
because of q steady flow Of blood from
the nose which used UP ell the handker-
chiefs carried by the feminine passengers
in the car
As she entered a group ahead of her
began a friendly but nl-bred squabble.
The one girl in the group wore hat with
long pointed quilts. and one of these
struck the face Of the young woman be-
kind with considerable force. Blood fol-
lowed Immediately, and it is a matter OF
record that the only unconcerned woman
in the car was the one who was respon-
sible for the damage. Her attitude was
that of a person well within her rights.
She knew that she was permitted TO wear
such fl headplece. no matter how danger
Gus it might prove
The history OF reform shows that when
the limit Of endurance is reached some
thing IS bound TO happen. Hats were
nuisance in the playhouse till the public
voice was lifted in protest. From time to
time thoughtless women attempt to re-
vive head covering for the theater. but
UP to date all such attempts have failed.
Dangerous hatpIns are going to follow.

hoopskirt and no failure was ever more
complete. Double doors in shops had to
be opened and pedestrians were forced to

row. To ride In a street car was an i'm
possible feat, because the doorway was
narrow. The woman could not even find
space on the platform. We are wearing
the proper clothing for the crowded con-
dition OF the world, the cIose-ftting
sleeves and skirts and the coat which
makes a pretense Of following the lines
of the body. The occasional man or
woman who wears bristling fur coat oc-

we need is in millinery.

Railroad Talk at Caldwell.

Caldwell, May 9-The ooastrlc-

in the city Friday for the purpose
of taking measurements for bridge
over Indian creek in what is known
as the Golden Gate" grade. Word
has been received that the Short
Line will soon commence laying
iron on the grade from here to the
Snake river. These reports have
not caused any undue excitement
for that is not the first time they
have been rumored. But when
taken in connection with the pur-
chase of two lots at the point
the Snake river branch will join the
main line, it is calculated to give
some support to the reports.

and determind to carry the cam
paign into this section.
They are planning to hold a meet
ing here, similar to the one he at
the county seat for the purpose OF
arousing interest in the coed roads
movement and they have secured tie
promise of Governor Brady to be {
sent and make a speech. Mr.. Find
lev told The Index that both farm
ers and business men in the western
portion of the county are afire with
good roads enthusiasm, and are
getting down to real work. AS
experiment a three mile stretch on
road east of Caldwell has been con-
structed and the comparison be
tween it and the roads that have nc
been built according to modern me
thods is so great that there is an al-l
most universal demand that every
main road in that section shall be
similarly treated, and contracts for
IA more miles of road has alTe7dy
been awarded. The work was done
by a Mr.. Vassar, practical road
builder, at a cost varying from sl00
to $3.50 per mile The matter should
be taken hold of here by both the
farmers and business men, and an
effort made to arouse lively good
roads sentiment. 1t viii prove an
investment of sterling character.
Mr.. Findley, who is overseer OF
District 81, has decided to build a
few miles of test road between town
and Freezeout hill and between tow1
and the east slope on the Pearl road
he is a very enthusiastic worker III
the campaign and believes he will
be able to make a practical demon
stration of the merits of scientific
road building over those built in the
aap-hazard manner in the past.
