This year the decollette effects have
exceeded all previous records. The
1ewest evening frocks are practically
without backs, so deep is the v and
so narrow the line of bodice seen at
each side. The V-shaped decolletage
Is the most fashionable, but occasion
ally one sees what is called "U-
shaped" back. which displays a mini.
mum OF bodice and maximum of
back. In front the cut is proportion
ately low and in many cases not a
vestfge of sleeve is apparent AS
there is fad just now for drawing
ing, the bare effect is frequently
rather startling. A woman in box
at the opera the other night wore
pink chiffon gown trimmed with black
marten fur. A line of the fur crossed
the bodice at its upper edge square
across the front and extended in a
straight line out over the middle of
the eaforearHs,ra- httfe4 sfeeve OF chiffon
extending from this fur line to the
elbow How this bodice was kept
on was a mystery.
Another daring decolletage is the
ansparent bodice, the outer bodice OF
chiffon being laid over veilings Of
f!esh-colored tulle. not really entirely
transparent, but with a startling ap-
pearance of being SO. A bodice Of that
sort was illustrated in a costume by
Beer, which was seen the other day
at fashionable function. The cos.
tune was of velvet of the new Japa-
nese red shade, q deep, rich tone, be-
tween claret and flame. The skirt
trailed at the back in little square
train. but was draped up In front
to show the petticoat of fur-trimmed
chiffon flounces. the chiffon being In
faint pink shade, which harmonized
well with the red OF the velvet. The
pink chiffon bodice, folded simply in
snrplice styles across the shoulders,
was laid over three thicknesses Of
pink tulle. and the effect was extra.
ordinary, as II the chiffon surplice
were draped over the bare flesh of
shoulders. back and bosom. The pearl

extremely simple line of the gowns.
and in many cases the trimmings are
yelled with swathings OF chiffon.
Fur hats and fur trimmed hats al.
ways have q certain vogue during the
winter months. but this year they are
enjoying unprecedented popularity,
and taking into consideration the
reckless lavishness with which fur IL
used in coats. small sets. millinery and
frock trimming one is inclined to Won
der whether any fur bearing animal
will escape with it's. skin this season.
Probably the modish millinery lines
have had much to do with the enthu.
siasm over fur rs a hat material. All
Of the little close shapes which have
been . fad lend themselves readily to
fur treatment. and indeed many Of
them are decidedly more piquant and
becoming In fur than in the beaver
and velvet OF the earlier season.
Many Of the short hair furs are sup.
rle enough to be handled almost as
easily as the velvet OF beaver, and
one finds seal. mole. chinchilla. er.
mine. baby lamb. etc. cleverly draped
irto bewitching toques of innumerabe
shapes and fashioned into small brim-
med hats that have no suggestion Of
clumsiness
The simple toque pulled down low
upon the head so that 1t frames the
face closely and almost entirely con.
ceals. the hair is often made up In
fur with an unstiffened crown that is
plain or slightly draped and with no
trimming other than a smart aigrette
or other fancy feather. a flower or an
ornament in metallic tissue or en-
broidery In fur this toque is usually
more becoming than in the velvet,
hrocade or other materials in which
the shapes first appeared.
On the large hats fur is used in
many ways. sometimes for an entire
crown or, as has been suggested. for
a facing on the wide brim or as bor-
der for brim or for the edges of a
draping scarf. But, on the whole, the
best effects In fur trimmed hats Of
large size are usually obtained by u.s.
ing soft scarf OF handsome long
hair fur about the crown and entrust.
ing the rest OF the trimming to feath
ers or the huge flowers which are one
of the seasons millinery fads.
Paris is very emphatic in the use
OF the c1oth-topped shoe, and the up
per must match the color of the walk
ing suit or carriage gown. There are
some extreme Louis XIV shoes with
silver buttons and band of velvet to
match the color Of the elaborate cos
tune above.
Ribbons show the trend for -Parisian
colorings and designs. Among the
most attractive are those with tinsel
background Of dull gold covered with
a Parsian design in rich blurred col
orings OF silk.
The regular pleated jabot-white
lawn above and Persian silk below
has cluster of rosebuds at the top,
with their ribbon stems, each tipped
by a gilt bead, hanging down from
above.

TRAINING A CHILD TO OBSERVE.

There is more than mere fancy in the old
philosophy that when You have child taught
to observe and then to think you have it edu-
Gated. One thing is certain-if the child is
never taught to observe he will never be well
educated, for he will never do much independent
thinking The power of observation dwells with
in every child s mind but like any other faculty,
it has to be led out to come to the literal
definition Of the old Latin's re-duce-to educate
And that is a matter that rests more with par
ents than teachers at school. In the home, on
the streets, in the field, wherever the child and
its parent may be, is the place to begin this ele
mentary education. This would be good
thought for parents who become impatient at
inqulsitve children. Instead of telling the child
to hush up, or 'don t ask so many question: :"
the parents should encourage it to ask more
questions and try to answer those it asks. Take
hold of its power of observation and help the
child to exercise it. Teach him, first to observe,
TO notice what he sees and then to think, to
ponder upon what he has observed.

WHY PAY ALL MONEY TO RECEIVER?

In Carson City, at the recent meeting OF the
banking commission, State Bank Examiner Eu-
gene Howell explained his position in the mat
ter of The bank case, recently decided by the
supreme court by saying he wished to leave
nothing undone that might rebound to the bene-
fiji o! the people
TIE bank examiner was appointed to fulfill
tie duties directed by certain law, and now
that certain section of this particular law
had been declared invalid, it was no reason
why he should relax in his efforts to again bring
the matter before the supreme court based upon
certain facts and authorities that will be pre-
sented to the court upon rehearng.
Mr. Howell says that one OF the grounds
advanced will be that the decree ordering the
Stat Bank and Trust company into involun-
tary liquidation, and appointing receiver there
of was not final judgment as conceded by the
parties to the proceedings and treated in the
opinion filed by the court and which the court
bases it's decision upon but was simply an IN
terlocutory Judgment and nothing more and
that authorities will be shown demonstrating
that fact.
Mr.. Howell holds that the receiver is still
in the discharge of his duties and carrying
the business of the insovent bank. and hence
no final Judgment can in any manner issue nm
til She liquidation of the nsovent bank is
closed and the receiver has filed his last report
with the court which is the FINAL REPORT,
and his bOndSmen and himself discharged from
further liability, and not until then, is there Il
FINAL JUDGMENT.
Hence this matter still being III allegiance.
no vested rights exist and the legislature con-
sequenty possesses full and complete jurisdiction
in the premises.
Whether or not the State Bank and Trust
company could be wound up more advantage
ously to the depostor with but little expense
practically speaking to the said insolvent bank
by the present bank examiner. who himself
is thoroughly familiar with its affairs and con.
dtions. and has been the past several years
or rather wound up by receiver appointed
by the court though the said receiver has
been in charge three years and made care

is CASTRO COMING BACK?

Only two years ago Castro was entirely
down and out" He an outcast.
Recently he seems to have appeared on the
scene again and caused the heads of govern
ments great deal of worry Rumor had it
that he was in Hayti, intending to return to
Venezuela Hayti was notified not to harbor
him. Then he landed on a French island Rep
reservations were made to France and Castro
moved on Later he was said to have located
for some time on the Canaries. But the Can.
aries were so far away that no international po-
liceman came to disturb the repose of the dis
tinguished wanderer
A short time ago rnmor had it that he had
actually effected an entrance into Venezuela;
thai thousand admirers had focked around
him. that he has plenty of money and that his
purpose is to try again to capture the presidency
of the country.
IF Castro should become president again, we
fancy some of the great powers of the world
would naturally refuse to recognize him. He
always did entertain contempt to foreign powers
and Jefied them from the impregnable position
OF the capital in the mountains and self-respect
would forbid them to offer friendly hand
to him after all that has happened
And it is rot impossible that he may succeed.
He has many friends in Venezuela, and it is
evident that in the controversy with foreign
governments he was not always in the wrong.
Sometimes his attitude was heroic patriotism

THE "RECALL"-NEW TANGLED.

The recall no doubt is a very useful insitu-

The same power that puts man in office takes
him out What could be just, more log
zeal? But somehow the recall doesn't always
work in practice well as it works in theory
1t becomes not merely an agent for the pur
