nARlS.-Over here in Paris we have
been interested in the article re-
Gently published in the United
States on the subject of Mile. Prince
and the Paris Dressmakers" Mile.
Prince is q charming actress and a
very pretty woman; more than that,
she is possessed of excellent ideas.
Mile. Prince insists that in the world
of dress women are looked down on if
they do not spend a great deal of mon
ey each year on dress, but l, myself,
have heard Worth say that many of
his best customers think nothing of
wearing the same gown two seasons
or more, and that there is no reason
why they should not do SO. In theory
Mile. Prince is right, but it does not
appear that she has gone very deeply
into the subject. When one speaks
of the world of dress one means the
world in which the art of dress is
thoroughly appreciated and under
stood; not a world" in which Nine.
A. dresses for the purpose of outdress-
ing Nine. B., regardless of expense
and suitability.
Expensive Evening Shoes.
Some of the newest evening shoes
are made of pearl gray satin outlined
with very small rose diamonds. These
pale gray shoes are exceedingly becom-
ing and they are worn with cobweb
SILK stockings in the palest shade Of
gray which have traceries in silver
threads running up the fronts.
Another new evening shoe is that
made Of white peau de sole, cut very
low In front; this shoe is richly en-
broidered in silver and incrusted with
dne paste. It is worn with stockings
composed entirely of fine lace, and
these stockings sometimes show
clocks veined in tiny diamonds.
Very large sums Of money are now
spent on shoes and stockings for after

Such shoes as these should have
handsome buckles. either in old paste

shoe buckles are things Of real beauty:
very original in design and executed
In the most artistic materials.
Lace stockings finely traced with
silver threads are fashionable thia
season: in all the pale tints they look
charming, almost fairylike. but do
not Ike black stockings worked in
either gold or silver.
Aeeessories for Street Wear.
For street wear plain black or white
SILK stockings are the correct thing
These are worn in conjunction with
smart cothurnes made of black glove

A Real Old Timer

Many persons who came to this
valley twenty or twenty-five years
ago imagine themselves real old tim
ers and tell of their thrilling expert
ences in pioneer days, but here is
one who was here when they all
came, Richard Higham, who came
here with his parents and located OH
Lincoln Greek, the site of tho aban.
doned Indian school, in 1866. Later
when the military post was estaf-
lished they were asked by Uncle Sam
to find new location, which they
did farther up the valley.
MR.. Higham is the guest Of his
cousin, Mrs. N. A. Just, at her home
on the Blackfoot river for the first
time in thirty-nine years and together
they are revisiting the scenes of their
youth, among which is the peak, SO
familiar to everyone, which bears
his name.
Like all early settlers, he expert
enced many hardships and depriva.
tons and the one he regards as the
most unfortunate is that he never saw
inside of school room, he has al
ways been just that far in advance
of civilization. At one time he and
his brother were sent to Malad that
they might attend school but after
waiting six weeks they discovered
that the school was only maintained
for those of the Mormon faith, SO
they came back to the wilderness.
Mr. Higham will leave in short
time for his home at Spokane, but
he should be remembered by people of
this part of Idaho as one who blazed
the trails and killed the snakes when
the country was new. very now.

army of not less than 100000 volun-
teers, including men, women and chill

lars have been scattered throughout
