The combination roof is in reality a
roof combining the features of the
shed and gable roof having unequal
spans, the shorter usually being about
one-third the length OF the longer
This roof has the advantage of both
types in that it can be used on a
house wider than the shed roof type,
affording a sleeper pitch with less cost
for siding. In addition the back side
OF the building is no higher than with
the shed roof thus making it much
more economical to construct than the
gable roof 1t should be remembered
that as long as the pitch of the roof
remains unchanged the material used
for all three styles of roofs is exactly

Materials for Practical Use.

In addition to all these silk and
satin materials there is a great va
riety of others TO be seen which are
intended for more practical use.
These include, first and foremost. vel
vets, chiffon, and otherwise. which
later in the season viii undoubtedly
take the place of many of the satin
brocades now being worn for the
street. velour de LANES. which are
now to be had having plain surfaces,

fective. but when ls-d by an artist
and in just the proper degree it is
one of the popular combinations.
Black camers hair costumes trimmed
with chinchilla are exceedingly smart,
and the same material combined with
chinchilla, plush, and a touch OF bril-.
liant flame color to give it character
is ravishingly pretty.
Skirts Still Marrow.
Now comes the question of the tight
or nontight skirt Early in the fall
we were told that tie skirt of narrow
dimensions was doomed and that the
day of plaits, draperies. and of all
sorts of looped and paniered effects
was at hand. This may be true of the
future, but for the present the skirt
of narrow width and straight line is
the fashion. There are draped
skirts for the street, but the drapery
is a mere pretense, there is so little
of it. and what there is is so artfully
adjusted that it is scarcely to be
seen. Not that the skirts are what
is known as "hobble," but they are
close and are as narrow still about
their lower edges as they can be
worn
There is a distinct Partially for jet
for all beaded materials used in com
binations for evening gowns The
Jet generally takes the form of EN-
broidery or it is used In outline on
brocaded stuff Jet fringe is charm
ing on frocks of white chiffon or white
satin, and it is frequently seen Dor
dering tunics or on the ends of sash
es that are draped on to trained
skirts. Some elabn ate evening
gowns have been seen that are who'll
ly beaded. this appearing on the bod
ices or in white borderings on skirts
or overskirts.
Long Coat.
For serge or cloth the model Illus
trated is well suited; it is loose fit
ting and has the sides from shoulder
to halfway down skirt part set on
with wrapped seams; these have tabs
cut in with them at the 'waist-line. a
button is sewn in the rounded end at
each tab.
Material is used to face the collar
ami cuffs.

Fabrics More Than surptuous.

All these stuffs are remarkably
rich in appearance, and for those who
thought the height of luxury in WON
ans dress had been already reached
last season the output of fabrics this
year would be revelation. Sumptu-
GUS is the only word that nearly de-
scribes them, but even this falls short
of the mark.
Along the same line as the mate
rails for dresses come the stuffs that
are being shown for evening cloaks
and wraps, with this difference. that
the latter are frequently combined
with silver and gold effects. Thus satin
backgrounds show gold threads woven
into them and over this stunning de-
sign done in velvet or plush, or there
are ribbed silks which show every
other cord in gold or silver tinsel,
which may be also brocaded in dull
colors or in black or white, both be-
ing in velvet.

Long, Slim Look Retained.

Fortunately. the long skirt is not
going to appear for street frocks, but
ii ) for afternoon gowns and for
is no doubt but what these are far
prettier and more graceful than the
much abbreviated skirts that have
been generally worn for all occasions,
even the most informal.
Some of these newest ones are so
little on the ground that one would
hardly notice that they train, but
they fall with just the least bit of flare
about their lower edge and are posi-
bly, an inch on the floor Others, aft
ernoOn, as well as evening gowns,
show decided trains, some being small
and pointed, others fairly long and
showing a more generous allowance
OF material in their sweeping lines.
None OF them has the drawn in APP
pearance of the trained skirt of a

ner the long, slim lool. that women
have found to be so becoming is still
retained, but with this they have
greater freedom of movement and
have lost that constrained walk that

Materials are the important things
now, for it is principally by these that
the latest styles can be determined.

PARTY leaders and opposing
candidates for nominations on
the republican ticket in Idaho, if
they would place the welfare OF
the people and the party above
their own personal ambitions,
would do much toward securing
that harmony that insures
success. Parties are instruments
by which the people are given a
voice in their government as. to
principles, not as to men. The
principle il first, the man second.
In order to be strong with the
people a party must stand for
the things that are Of benefit to
the people and the party leaders
must be able to convince the
people that the success Of their
party will do the people more
good than will the success of the
opposition party. Then honest
men must be nominated, able
and willing to administer the
government in the interest OF the
whole people with special previ-
leges to none, and with equal
justice to rich and poor, corpor-
ations and individuals alike. In
choosing candidates the voter
must be guided by the candi.
dates records. II q man seeks
Office whose record is not as
good as that oil some other
-aspirant the people must know
it.. The aspirant's record, good
or bad, must be examined as a
matter OF duty and il nothing
but the truth is divulged for the
information Of the voter no
harm should come to the party.
Ii rival candidates can abstain
from dealing in personalities,
friendly rivalry for places on the
ticket are not likely to be
injurious.
