Evening Frocks.

Authorities are divided on one i'm
portant item-the length of evening
frocks. In spite of the fact that most
of the new models this year are made
with 10 or u inch pointed train, one
of the greatest Paris houses shows
majority of its new evening gowns
with the short skirt just instep length.
Since there is a division of opinion
among the great originators of fash
ion, it would seem that each young
woman may choose for herself as to
whether she will cling to the youthful
round-length trained effects worn by
the older women Some wonderful
new black jet trimmings are used this
season, and white and colored span

gifts which a recent visitor to the

to be easily broken and not too ornate

your father asked him what that was,
he said the idea that he could make
any money in the West. He told your
father that he was going back to Eng
land and give up his western schemes,
and that he had a claim to sell, and
he told Blair where it lay. Who has
seen it,? your father asked. Any OF
my men?' And the Englishman told
your father that nobody had wanted
to buy it and that was why he had
come to him. He said he thought his
only chance to sell was to hold up

that he had heard that Blair was too
sick to stir out of his room and to

Your father never went near his

when he had turned the mine he was

are going to get the other kind; you're
going to make the dust fly that he
dug up"
