INFLUENCE OF EAST
ON ALL NEW CLOTHES

The Chinese coat, short, straight cut
garment, with loose body and sleeves, IS
another example of the influence of the
East on present-day fashions. Boleros
are talked of for three-piece garments.
but somehow with the draped effects the
bolero does not seem in keeping. How
ever, as change is what is aimed at, we
shall see these introduced again, more in
the Spanish style and trimmed a la tore
ador. As a natural sequence to this mode
the matador hat will again be seen.

The latest model in parasols looks ex-
actly like hat of exaggeratedly large
dimensions. The spread framework of
fine steel represents a moderately high,
rounding crown, which slopes into a
brim that is very gradually depressed
but at the outer edge slightly rolled
backward, making distinctly curled
finish. This spread, as it needs must be.
is umbrella-gored and of silk or satin.
but about the base of the simulated
crown is silk cord braiding that at
one side is twisted into swirling orna-
ment.

The combination of two materials is
effectively studied out in this resign.
For the yoke, cuffs and trimming bands
an ecru cloth was used, while the dress
itself is made of dark green, having a
tan colored check.
The skirt, a plain two-piece affair, is
cut in rounded notch in front and edged
with the ecru material, and a band of
the same nature outlines a tunic. Fancy
buttons were used as a trimming.

Rompers have become recognized as
the sensible garment for little children
to wear at play. The design pictured
herewith shows a style with the front

and of square outline, and the sleeves
are of elbow length.

When we first glance at the Mona

find that they look past us at something
beyond. Perhaps those mysterious eyes
in reality see nothing at all with their
dreamy gaze.
Mona Lisa does not strike the casual
observer as being beautiful She has no
eyebrows, because 1t was the fashion of
the time for women to shave them of.
But her features are regular and finely
modelled, and her hands are marvellous.

amazement and admiration in the MIND
OF the beholder-amazement that human

piece OF work. admiration for the artist

A FAMILY IN DIRE DISTRESS

One of the saddest cases OF dis.
trees that we have had in this COM
munity for years was brought to
our attention this morning and We
give these facts in order that the
c~haritably inclined may have OBJ
portunity to give Of their bounty
to a really charitable cause, and
relieve the distress of a sick mother
and seven poverty stricken and
homeless children.
In an old wagon with a couple of
poor horses. the family consisting
of a father and mother and seven
little Children arrived from the
East last night and pitched their
miserable little tent in the snow
west of the base ball park. A jack
rabbit which the father had kill
ed was the only food they had and
they were all poorly clothed to face
the bitter cold of last night.
This morning one of the little
girls went to the Jas. Russell ranch
to exchange a trinket for some
bread and the distressed condition
Of the family was made known.
Their immediate wants were re-
lieved, and a supply of good whole
some food was furnished them
sufficient for a couple of days.
There is still need, however, of
cloaks, bedding, overshoes, cloth.
ing and an additional supply of
food. The good ladies of the Wo-
mans Guild are today at work pro-
Yiding these, and we have no doubt
that before nightfall the family
will be better provided for than
they have been for weeks.
From the father we learned that
the family home at Evanston, Mon.
tana, was burned TO the ground
several months ago and everything
they possessed was lost but two
horses. They Immediately set out
for Reno, where help was promised,
but on account of sickness of the
mother, and the further fact that
the father had to work along the
way for food to keep souls anc
bodies together, winter has over,
taken them.
If the Guild Ladies approach
you give what you can and with g
Christmas spirit. With bitter cold
biting their little bodies and with
hunger gnawing at their vital:
what a Christmas it will be 70,
these children when they n nIIec
and warmly clad. Truly they viii,
know there is a Santa Claus who
loves them and the givers will Re
happier too.
"In as much as We have given
unto n of the least of these Thy
%brethern. ye have given unto me-"
These words were spoken to us by
the lowly .Nazarene whose birth
the whole christian world will to-
morrow celebrate.
Here is opportunity. Let us give.
Since the above was put into type
the Ladies of the Guild, true to our
prediction, have comfortably hous-
ed the family referred to. The
children will sleep comfortably to-
night and in the morning will axe
to find that Santa Claus did not
forget them.
