PRIZES IT THE HIGHEST
Ex-President Lathrope Holds 1t the
Most Precious Of All His
Possessions.

Eyes, / prize that little charm more
than any other thing that own" said
b. r. Lathrope, the valiant union
worker, ex- president of the Fargo
Trades and Labor Assembly, referring
to the gift of the assembly, as he was
just about to leave the city last Sat
urday afternoon. The veteran toiler
meant what he said when he spoke
those words. for he was touched with
the mark of appreciation that was
shown By the brothers in Fargo, when
he was about to leave the city.
Mr.. Lathrope was given a rousing
send off at the Great Northern depot
He goes to Spokane where he.will follow
his profession as a leather worker. His
family is still In the city but will fol-
low him west as soon as he has be-
come thoroughly established.

Velvet In the Hair

Women who can wear fat band
around the head, and the majority of
them can, are substituting this for the
heavy coil Of hair worn under the hat.
The ribbon is for evening and makes
the couture quite brilliant. 1t carries
out the color scheme Of the gown. The
pastel shades. which are commonly
considered suitable for the hair, are
rarely used. Instead one sees plum
purple, royal blue, burgundy red, plum
black, jade green and sapphire.
Satin and velvet ribbon are used; also
tulle. The oriental style Of using this
ribbon Is to finish It above the ears
with gemmed cabochons.
