Compulsory School Attendance

Also among these measures whicD were passed by the United States Sen ate last year but which were not acted upop in the House is bill providing for compulsory school attendance srcb q law is needed rarely to secure tbe attendance of white children in Alaska but the act is very necessary Sor the natives. and it's provisions sbopId be made applicable equally to whites and natives. It may be found desirable to incorporate in an act of tho Legislative Assembly some of the provisions of the bill which was in' troduced in Congress, and therefore invite your attention to them
 Relief of Destitution.
 That some of the primary needs Of Alaska. quite simple and elementary in their nature but none the less i'm nortant have been neglected since the earliest settlement of the Territory is well illustrated by the notorious lack of any means ,. relieving the poor I refer particularly to cases Of destitution caused by physical acci- dents brought on by the rigors Of life on the frontier. By far the great or number of the persons who are novertv.stricken from this cause have not contributed to their present un- fortunate condition by any fault or their own making; and to many Of them. notably the old prospectors and early miners, the Territory owes much' for they blazed the way for more prosperous residents who came after them. A bill setting aside for the re- lief of destitute whites such per centage of the Alaska Fund as would yield from $9,OOO to $1S,OOO a year at present, was actually passed by both houses of Congress last yea but strangely enough it appears that the usual conference committee to con slider the easily reconcilable differ ences between the Senate and House hills has never ben appointd. Only one day of the present Congress re- mains; and if the bill be not enacted by the national body at once, there fore. the subject should be considered by the Territorial Assembly, with a view of enacting a suitable relief measure.

have small neat patterns which do
not attract attention by reason of an
obvious design, but cover the face
lightly and softly.
Chenille dots are much the fashion
once more but the dots are small and
are unusually grouped together in little
clusters, the groups being well sepa-
rated and scattered apart on the sheer
open mesh. Shetland wells are as pep-
ular as ever but the patterns are
more open and less conspicuous than
has been the case heretofore and such
veilings are better liked in white than
in black or dark color. This Is a sea-
son of gay colors and colored veilings
are being worn more than they nave
been for some time, though the wom-
an of fastidious taste Is wary OF the
blues and greens which are invariably
trying to the complexion-no matter
how fresh and youthful 1T may be:
and steers clear of the bright cerise
and magenta shades which the sales
person at the yelling counter offers as
the very latest thing. There Is sort
strawberry pink which is most fiatter-'
ing to the skin beneath it, lending
ROSY tone to the complexion even when
the latter is naturally pallld, ana sand
colored veilings are particularly mod
isb and are not uhbecoming unless the
skin itself has a strong yellow tinge.
Flesh pink wells are calculated to
turp even an old and worn face into
youthful prettiness, for the flesh tint
softens the outlines and freshens the
tone of the skin amazingly Beauty
wells. as they are called in the shops,
are of this flesh tint in a fine craquele
mesh with just one cluster OF dots in
black 50 placed on the veil that the
dotted cluster comes high up on one
cheek. Sometimes the dots form
bow-knot or a definite geometrical fig
ure, but the effect is prettier and not
so bizarre when one large dot is en-
circled by clusters of tiny ones, the
whole forming a rather indistinct spot
on the veil.

Dolly Warden Effects Adorable on the
Debutante.
The fowered fabrics of the year
seem to have been designed especially
for young girls, and in the week end
wardrobe of every debutante, 1t is
safe to say will be included at least
one afternoon frock of the dainty
Dolly Warden lowered voile or crepe
accompanied by n poke bonnet hat
having ribbon streamers at the back.
These fiowered stuffs are made up
with little trimming save for the in
evitable sash matching the color of
the flower clusters, and perhaps a bit
of fine machine embroidery in the
way of a little collar at the neck.
These frocks are younger looking than
plain white crepe or voile costumes
trimmed handsomely with lace OF en-
broidery, and they are ideally suited
to fiower-lilxe girlhood Their fitting
Accompaniment seems to be the
streamered picture hat. which also is
the young girls especial privilege: for
the more picturesque the hat the more
charming as a rule IS the pretty face
beneath it, A type of hat which only
a debutante could wear is illustrated
in the Ieghorn model over whose brim
falls frill of shadow lace. The brim
is turned up at the back and a big

with eilvery green leaves worked with
floss on the charmeuse. The short
tunic Is of crystal embroidered white
chiffon, a line of the pale pink and
green flowers forming a delicate
border trimming in combination with
the crystal bead embroidery. This
beaded and flower trimmed white chif-
fon also forms the drapery over bodice
and sleeve and the girdle, crossing
under the bust, IS of faint pink chif-
fon.
This dainty blending of pale tints is
mode employed by many couturiers
in the building of young girls evening
gowns. A very lovely dancing frock
for tall, dark-eyed girl in her first
season is of pale corn colored chiffon
trimmed with appliqued velvet pansies
and silver green leaves. The pansies
In tints of pastel violet, form a festoon
on the straight, narrow skirt of chif-
ION which Is short enough to reveal
buttoned strap slippers matching the
pale yellow Of the frock; and also
trail over one side of the chiffon
bodice, the other side being formed of
shadow lace. This combination of
pale yellow and several shades of pas
tel violet is exquisitely artistic. An
other charming evening frock for
debutantes wear at a forthcoming
house party, is in a com bination of
pale pink and pale blue-babyish col
ors used with admirable skill in this
instance. The foundation OF this pretty
frock is shell pink lansdowne-an ex-
ceedingly soft and clinging fabric of
lustrous texture-and over the little
pale pink slip falls a knee length
tunic of creamy shadow lace, caught
up at one side of the front with a clus-
ter of forget-me- around a pale
pink rose. Another nosegay of this
sort is tucked against pale blue satin
girdle, and the V-shaped decolletage
Is edged with very tiny turquoise blue
beads.
The debutante wears very modest
decolletage. For hers Is not the dar-
ing V which touches the young mar

at the front of the brim keeps the top

With veil-pin or ordinary barrette,

Not two wells are pictured, but one
veil with two sections. or rather two
very sheer wells are attached to
each other, so that either section
may be worn out over the face. One
picture shows a craquele mesh in light
brown; and the other a delicate shad-
ow design on fine Brussels net in taupe
color. Such veil is not expensive,
being sold at so cents yard and the
