more sombre colors. Paquin pink and
Paris pink both have a slight purplish
cast. A brilliant poppy red, called
pivoine, and a dead rose shade go to make
up the list of new reds, though cerise is
shown in some entirely new cherry tones.
In yellow there is chartreuse, exactly the
tint of that iqueur. A wonderful orange
is named gourge. In brown there is 4
sable tint that matches the soft brown
of sable fur. Danube, mission and COM
mandeur blue are new, and a variation
of midnight blue is called ravens wing.
A striking new light green, rightly
called ''sea foam," matches exactly that
luminous pale green color that is seen in
the crest of breaking wave, and a brill
liant emerald green is called parrot. A
lovely deep brownish purple is 'pruneau"
and a pale violet paine" In grayish
tones a greeny gray goes under the name
of mastic in French, putty in English.
Pongee is like the lightest tones of the
natural pongee. Cafe au lait, champagne
and sand are in the pale beige tones and
a Cherhuit tan verges toward the amber,
which is still q fashionable color, but
called topaz in some new tones. Two

new fabrics that the Partisan master de-

ing season
Matelasse, the beautiful brocaded dam
ask weave, made its initial appearance
last season and had such an unexpected
vogue that the supply was not equal to
the demand. For the coming season it
still leads the list of fashionable materials.
1t comes in many textures and varied eff
fects and makes most attractive and novel
patterns. To go with these beautiful new
damask weaves plain colored materials
matching the raised design in the mate
lasse have been manufactured. Combi-
nations of these two materials lend them
selves admirably to the ever increasing
vogue for dresses and suits made of more
than one material, and these lovely
weayes are an inspiration to the gown de-
dgner.
Many of the new matelasse materials
show design in Turkish towelling weave
on a plain ground, with accompanying
material of the same rough weave. This
is called "tyltyl" Ottoman, faille, crepe

In the World of Fashion.

IF you are going to obey the dictates
Of fashion, have a well defined waistline
through the medium of the belt or the
girdle. OF course, if you affect rather Sc
we're frocks, the belt should be of leather
suede or kid in black and white, gray and
tan or dark red, moss green and taupe. Or,
you prefer one tone in the leather strap,
nave it ornamented with jewels Of differ
snt sorts mingled in an attractive design.
Black velvet ribbon interlaced with black
metal links, each one tipped with a gold
pendant, makes an attractive and unique
looking belt, but II you would have some
thing very stunning indeed, decorate a
strip of white suede with a pattern in seed
pearls interspersed with emeralds and
have a kid-covered buckle with enamelled
eyelets. Equally chic and unusual, are the
belts composed of a row of imitation
canoes OF large size connected by a dou-
BILE set of links and finished at the ends
with metallic tassels.

stitching near che edge. Waist and
sleeves are in ono piece. the latter finish
ing like the dress, with round ball but
tons. A narrow sash belt folds about
the waist, falling at one side in 4 loop
and end without any knot. Another pho
tograph shows the new dress shape, the
straight skirt breadth gathered into the
belt and the corsage bloused above.
This is a fashion for slender figures
unless carried out by the most skilful
Sownmakers. The color detail is in the
bright Natter blue taffeta ribbon that
serves as a half belt, with a finish Of
two loops at the back, contrasting
charmingly with the sombre tones Of the
black chiffon velvet of the gown, In
the odd dress of blue charmeuse there
are some very interesting details, such
as the single fold caught up in the front
of the skirt, giving an original drapery
line. The cuffs are made of two velvet

and summer for both afternoon and even
ing gowns. The figured crepes are espe-
cially novel, and in color, weave and de-
sign they have never seemed more desir-
able. The persistent and continuous
vogue of drapery makes crepe the ideal
material from which to fashion gowns
whose draperies fall in ideal folds. There
is among the new crepes one called crepe
Trianon, that comes in both heavy and
a light weave. The heavier one has a
crepelike uncut silk background, with
satin flower designs scattered over the

two colors, as in ordinary patterns. The
effect is striking. 1t is two faced ma.
terial and the reverse side makes good
trimming.
A cotton marquisette having closely
woven mesh of self-toned brocaded
flower sprays with raised edge is a
novel lacelike fabric suitable for after
noon and evening dresses. Crepe and
ramie weayes have been copied in cottons
by the French manufacturers, even to the
matching of figured goods with plain ma
terials, as is done in the wool and silk
matelasse-and this will be responsible
for an unusual vogue of cotton materials
this summer.

A Favorite Method.

One favorite method is to take a five
yard-lons strip Of ribbon, arrange it into
a neat crush belt and at the back draw
the ends through a rhinestone or ivory
buckle and allow them to fall almost to
the hem of the skirt. From there they
are drawn forward to the centre front
and tied in a huge fiat bow. A second
popular way Of tying a sash is to ripple
1t about the waist, form 1t into a three
Iooped upright bow at the left hip and
allow one end to fall like a streamer to
the edge Of the skirt

The official count of ballots on state
officers at the late election, was made
by the legislature this week. The
official count shows that Secretary Of
State James B. Pearce won out by
nearly 1900 plurality, despite the
dirtiest fight against him In the
history of Colorado politics. AS noted
in THE HERALD week before cleo
tion, this fight was started by the
matchmaking Denver Post because
Pearce would not allow that sheet to
rake in $4,000 to $4,000 of state
money for publishing constitutional
amendments, etc. And much to his
discredit, Ramer, Pearce's Republican
opponent in the race for secretary of
state, mixed in the discreditable plot
to blacken the latter's character. But
worst of all. Rev. Robert Coyle, one
of the most noted mininiters OF Dem
yer, allowed himself to be used by
Bon and Tam in the dirty plot to
beat Pearce at the polls. To the
credit of the voters of Colorado, they
saw through the deal.

The Weather

Has been the all absorbing topic
during the past week. AS far as cold
ness WAS concerned, the Oldest old
timer had to admit he had no au-
thentic figures to show that 1t was
ever colder at Meeker.
About twenty years ago, during .
cold snap various ordinary thermom-
eters registered AZ below. These COM
mon thermometers always registered
lower than the correct government
Instruments, so when the mercury
reached 43 below zero In the govern
ment thermometer, at the Baker OBJ
servatory last Monday night, We
believe the cOldest night In the his
tory of the White River valley was
recorded.
The record for the week is as fol-
lows:
Last Saturday-20 above.
Satnrnay night-l3 below.
Sunday night-39 below.
Monday nights below.
Tuesday night-l5 below.
Wednesday night-l5 below.
Light snow Thursday and the mer-
curry went up to 24 above; and down
last night to 8 below.
The cold snap here was preceded
by light fall of snow, but not much
wind.
AS far as we have heard no stock
losses have been reported as occur
ring in this valley, despite the great
loss reports sent in to the Denver
sensational journals.
The cold spell started In the Pacific
northwest region and travelled east
ward. 1t was the worst freeze In the
history OF the Pacific coast.
1t is reported that Colifornia's fruit
crop is ruined.
According to Denver report q fierce
blizzard preceded the drop In the
thermometer in the Yampa valley
region. The mercury registered 60
below at Craig and 81 below at
Steamboat Springs, Monday night.
At Dillon, in Summit county, 1t was
so below. In fact, extreme cold was
reported from all sections OF the
Rocky mountain region.
