Fashionable Flower Holders.

CRYSTAL flower holders of many
shapes and all sizes are much in favor
this season. There are large vases of
plain crystal cncascd in gilt Gligrce work
rather heavy aud decidedly ornate, and
small vases also ornamentcd with gilt fill
gree somewhat lighter in design. En-
graved crystal vases without gilt trim
mings are also fashionable, and crystal
baskets are both engraved and trimmed
with gilt and serve as flower holders.
Other charming vases for small bouquets
are OF tinted Bcllcek ware, the colors eN-
tremely delicate and most attractive and
the shapes Of quaint, irregular designs,
sometimes in the form of floral cups in
groups Of three or four and again in
simpler designs for u few blossoms. The
pure white Bcllcck ware in most nttrdc-
tive shapes and either in bnskctry or other
fancilul shapes is also much in favor for
dover holders.
Very tall vases of old Sheffield plate
with blue glass Innings are being sought
for for flower holders to be used in houses
having old fashioned furniture. Baskets
and bowls, vuseS and boxes in green and
ivory plaster of paris are among the less
expensive flower holders which lind much
favor Tor country houses There are also
many fascinating vases and baskets to
be had at tie japanese shops. These are
made of a dark colored buuiboo uud are
exceedingly graceful for many sorts of
flowers, especially those having long stems
aud single blossoms, such as the iris.
For holding single flowers there are tiny
vases Of German glass, hand blown and
decorated In quaint. unusual styles with
bright cherries, colored glass birds III re

devices decidedly novel and pleasing.

have taken it into their pretty heads
fo do the work Of carpenters. More
over, they do 1t exceedingly well, while
being particularly keen about the sport,
exercise, useful accomplishment or
whatever they arc pleased to term the
pastime. 1t is not implied that they
merely provide themselves with kit of
tools and then seek about for odd jobs at
which TO amuse themselves. Tho cult of
carpentry is entered into seriously. No
girl of judgment thinks of allying herself
with it unless she has had due prcpnra-
ton.
At various conspicuous country places
girls who keep abreast of the times have
formed classes at which practical car
pcntry is taught Usually The class

yet deserving compliment to
Judge Alfred Bulge by unan-
imously endorsing him for
reelection TO the district
judgship for another term.
Irrespective of their political
affiliations the attorneys have
united in endorsing his candi-

will have no opposition at the

Bulge, who is now serving
the closing year of his second
term, bias proven himself to
be one of the best judges who
has ever presided on a district
bench in this state. BY en-

IDAHO IS GROWING.

The announcement from
Washington that the salaries
of the postmasters at 36 OF
the presidential Offices in the
state will be increased from
500 to $500 for the year be-
ginning July l, 1910, is one OF
the best evidences of Idaho's
rapid growth. At only two
places-Rathdrum and Silver
City were the salaries de-
creased for the ensuing year.
Every presidential Office in
Southern Idaho, with the one
exception of Silver City. is
booked for a raise. The sal
airy Of the Montpelier Office is
advanced from $500 to $500.
The heaviest increases are
made for the towns in the
newly settled irrigated sec
tions, which show that the
towns and surrounding coun-
cry are enjoying substantial
growths.
Take the town Of Gooding
for instance. Three years ago
there was nothing but side
track there, while today the
business of the postoffice is of
such volume as to warrant
the paying of a salary of $l700
TO the postmaster and next
year he will receive $4,000. AT
American Falls the salary will
be increased from $l4OO to
$500, at Miner from 1920 to
$500, at Bull from $14OO to
$500 and Glenn's Ferry from
$ll00 to $1,000, and so on down
the list.
As there is no possible
chance for postmasters to
pad their reports in order
to make a good showing for
their towns, these advances
in salaries make it all the
more assuring that ldaho's
growth is of solid, substan-
tiaI nature.
