ber of occasions. 1t Is hat not too
dressy for very informal wear, but
which lends itself to those that re-
quire high-style also. 1t is ideal for
the tourist who wants to go about
without much baggage and still be
prepared to dress for state occasions.
Another very new model. in which
roses are wonderfully placed. shows
large hemp shape with concave un-
derbrim filled In with very large full
bloom roses. They are mounted fiat
against the underbrim, forming an en-
chanting frame for the face. The
crown is trimmed with full ruche of
lace and that finishes the design. The
shape is made with special reference
to this method of trimming.
This is distinctly midsummer model,
that Is, it is meant for summer wealth

PRESENT FOR ENGAGED GIRL
An Apron to slip on When Bride Does
Housework Is Always Ac-
ceptabIe.

A useful and attractive gift for an
engaged girl is an apron that may
be slipped on when the bride does
housework. and wishes to keep pre-
sentable. Just this type of apron is
hard to buy. so is doubly acceptable.
Probably the most useful kind is a
studio apron, such as is used by the
woman artist. Get good pattern
with sleeves reaching to the wrists
and cut without too much fullness.
Choose pink gingham of fine quality
or clear black and white stripe,
which always washes well.
For the former trim the neck
which should be cut slightly square
and sleeves with a two-inch insertion
of white embroidery, and fasten at
the back with white pearl buttons.
The black and white apron may be
trimmed with black bias bands, or
with white cotton bands embroidered
in a cross-stitch design In black
A somewhat dressier apron. though
not so useful for protection, is made
like a waitress apron, with straps
over the shoulders. A pretty effect
is had with ecru or pale pink percale,
the straps embroidered in cross
stitch band that is carried on each
side to the bottom of the apron. The
hem at bottom and sides is finished
with row of two-chain stitch-bands.
Use several tones of brown or red
mercerized cotton on the ecru apron,
and white or black on the pink one.

A hat recently designed, is made
entirely of chiffon and silk roses in
the most exquisite shadings OF pale
pink and rose color. 1t is along
these tones Of pink in which there is
a hint of lavender and which gradual
ly merge into American Beauty reds,
through an enchanting range of color.
The shape is odd and new-a point
ed turban high in front The frame,
made of wire, is edged with a fold of
satin in deep rose color and a bow of
ribbon in the same shade finishes the
back.
The shape fits the head closely and
is rather small. The roses are crowd
ed in rows about the top and sides
and they cover every inch of space
except a narrow border where the
satin outlines the shape about the
face.
This is one of those useful turbans
that are worn at any season Of the

CHAPTER vIII.

Six o'clock was the hour set for the
start of the Beach race. And 1t was
just seventeen minutes past FIVE
when Dick French. hanging in a
frenzy Of anxiety over the paddock
fence circling the inside of the mile
oval, uttered something resembling a
howl and rushed to the gate to signal
his recreant driver. From the oppo-
site side of the track Lestrange waved
gay return. making his way through
the officials and friends who pressed
around him to shake hands or slap
his shoulder caressingly. jesting and
questioning. calling directions and ad-
vice. A brass band played noisily in
the grand-stand. where the crowd
heaved and surged; the racing ma
chimes were roaring In their camps.
Whats the matter? Where were

strange crossed the course to the cen

CONDITIONS IN COLORADO TO-
DAY, AFTER 19 YEARS OF WO-
MEN VOTING.

1t was in the year 1898 that woman
suffrage was granted in Colorado.
For l9 years the suffragists have used
this state as a sample of good gov
ernment brought about by the wo-
mans vote. The anti-suffragists ask
the men of oregon to read the words
of a Colorado woman-one who has
been and is now politically promi-
nent. She tells of the conditions of
politics in her state today.
Mrs. Elizabeth Cass Goddard OF
Colorado, a former ardent suffragist
has held the following offices. name
ly: Delegate to city and state con-
ventions, deputy sheriff, watcher at
the polls, and member of the repub-
lican state committee from Elpaso
county. She has been represented
on various boards OF city and state
organizations. For example, vice
president for Colorado of the Moth
ers' Congress, second vice president of
the Y. w. c. A. Of Colorado Springs,
first vice president of the Boys club,
trustee of the City Federation of
Womens clubs, president of the HUI
name Society, only woman member
Of the anti-tuberculosis committee Of
Colorado Springs and president Of
the Colonial Danes Of Colorado. We
wish to quote from a letter written
by Mrs. Goddard to a member of the
board of anti-suffrage association of
Portland. She says in part:
Il am in a peculiar position, for
while I disapprove most emphatical-
ly Of equal suffrage, and while l have
yet to see one good result from it,
while the women of Colorado have
the responsibility 1 must do my part
toward trying to make matters bet
ter But l frankly say 1 do not see
how this can be accomplished. 1t
certainly has not yielded any such
result up TO this date. We have no
cleaner politics, no purer politicians.
no less graft, no better laws for wo-
men and children than Massachu-
setts has, and in spite of the often
repeated assertions of the suffragists,
not ONE of the laws we have is the
result Of the votes of women. AS far
as this goes the influence of women
outside the suffrage is better than
Win the eNeTClSe OF IT. L nave IOund
the professional suffragist or politi-
clan hard, aggressive, loud in voice
and manner and ready to antagonize
anyone TO carry her point. 1t is not
with her an appeal to reason" but
an appeal to sentiment. to passion,
and to fancied wrong done to wo-
men. There is very little now to say
on the subject excepting that my OBJ
servations has only intensified my
feeling on the subject. The better
class of women do not want to vote.
1t is hard for me to induce them to
come TO the polls, when any stirring
question comes up. and on ordinary
matters they neither feel nor even
pretend to feel any interest"
Judging from the conditions as
they now stand in Colorado, do we
honestly feel that the women's vote
will better our state of Oregon?
