trend of the fashion for the year.
 I arrived rather early, as l did not wish to miss one sensation of this
 great night. But, to my surprise, al
 though the great singers of the day were scheduled to appear, it seemed not for them or their artistic merit that the audience was assembled, but, I Suspected, for the enjoyment of the I social assemblage and the display Of l fashions in gowns and head-dress. The curtain arose to almost empty boxes. It was only after the first act that so- ciety began to arrive. We walked out to the foyer and watched the entrance of the wonderfully y-cliaked women and their escorts. The brilliant colors of the tropics seemed to have invaded the entrance. Bright yellows orange, old rose, and brilliant Futurist de- signs were seen among the wonderful velvet and plush opera cloaks. These bright colors were toned and improv- 0u Uy Iu0 SIdlu UldSh ONOhih6 oi N'S VT the gentlemen. Here and there an all fur cloak was visible, but not often, although fur was used elabOrately in trimming both cloaks and gowns. One particularly striking opera cloak was of brilliant red brocaded velvet, with large collar and deep cuffs of white fox Emerald green and red were the predominating colors, while bro- caded effects were conspicious among the materials used.
 Down in the auditorium people bus tied and rustled into their seats, and pointed out this celebrity or that ex- traordinary new feature in gown or coiffure There was a striking ten dency toward strong contrasts in ma terial and colors. The waists were Of the flimiest of materials chiffon, net and shadow lace-while skirts were of heavier fabrics, like satin and velvet.
 The minaret influence was seen in varied guise from the simple tunic to the wired frill that stood well out from the hips. Another feature to correspond were wired frills at the wrist that reminded one of candle shades. Skirts were draped at the

cred the edges of the tunic, which seemed tucked under it's outer edges. The broad girdle of deep peach was drawn through a golden buckle, and one end was lifted upward from the line of the waist.
 All this I had to observe quickly between the first and second acts, for To! society doesn't deign to sit through the last act of the opera, but arises after the preceding act, dons it's wraps and proceeds to it's waiting automobiles to be driven to some bril- liant supper party or other function. Such is the custom and neither Caru- sos extraordinary tenor nor the sing ing of Destinn and Matzenauer could change it one whit.

.CAL|FORN|A'S HIGH
 MOUNTAINS DESCRIBED

The state of California has seventy named mountain peaks and 60 or more unnamed mountains, total of at the least of 130, whose attitudes are great CT than 13,000 feet above sea level Twelve of these are 14,000 feet or more high. The highest is Mount Whitney, which is also the highest peak in the United States, with an ele- vation of 14,501 feet. Mount William son is the next highest, 14,3S4 feet. The elevation of Mount Shasta, prob ably the third highest peak in the state, has not been determined exact ly, but it is generally crediated with being about 14,3SO feet high. Other mountains attaining more than 14,OOO feet are: South Peak of White Moun- tain. North Palisade Mountain, Mount Russell, Split Mountain, Middle Pali- sade Mountain, Mount Langley, Mount Muir. Mount Tyndall and Mountain Bardnard.

more often of a gold and silver tissue, with a long vamp and more practical French heel. Oothers were the so-
 called Tango slippers, that are held upon the feet by ribbons that cross and recross we'll up above the ankle. The hustle was in evidence, more
 in the draped effect at the back than in the actual old-fashioned horsehair article which our mothers wore in the seventies. Wide sashes encircled the waist and ended in enormous bows at the back.
 The cultures were mostly simple and natural, with many ornamental combs and hairpins studded with bril- liants. The bandeau, with some var iety of feather fastened to it, was up on nearly every feminine head. One that was peculiarly attractive had ex- quisite aigrettes put in about every inch around the bandeau. Another novelty was a broad jeweled comb, with black tulle ruffle across it standing five inches high.
 A gown which particularly pleased me was the one now pictured in our first illustration. A bolero jacket, with long sleeves was made from fine shadow lace. This was worn over a vest of plain rose silk, the points of the vest coming well over a broad silk sash of deep American-Beauty red. The skirt was of rose panne vel vet, with a tunic of shadow lace. An attractive and exceptional feature to this dress was in the shape of the tunics, which fell in points at the side and curved up in the center. The neck was V-shaped, with a graduated ruffle of lace, which stood up close to the neck in the back. A necklace of diamonds, with an emerald pendant, was worn with this gown.
 One could not refrain from remark ing the peculiar outline of the skirts, which were gathered at the waist, large at the hips and narrow at the ankles.
 Another gown that forced itself upon my attention, even among such a variety of styles, was one of soft peach pink, as seen in our second H. lustration. The blouse was soft brochaded silk, the two sides crossing slightly at the front, surplice fashion, over a vest of gathered net. The skirt was of plain charmeuse, with a tunic of the brocade, having wide ruffle of hand-wrought lace around the bottom. A difficult characteris- tic of this skirt is the panel, which disposes of the fullness at the waist. The stitched folds of the panel GOV

The retirement of superannuated civil service employe on pensions is to be seriously considered in the Com mittee on Civil Service in the lower House of Congress. In this connec tion there is a good deal of difference of opinion, some contending that peo pie who spend their life in the govern meRt service should have a pension in their old age, while others take the view that inasmuch as the govern ment pays the most of its subordi mates in the civil service a larger wage than they could secure in private em ployment, that it is up to them to look out for their own future

WONDERFUL GOWNS, CO|FFURES
 AND GEMS AT FASHION SHOW

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-The event or the New York season, the first night of opera, has come and gone, with it's exposition of handsome gowns. Society women have kept their dressmakers rushing in their efforts to outdo each other in beautiful and extraordinary gowns for this evening; for no one, either in the midst of the chosen set or lowering upon it's outskirts, looking eagerly for a chance to squeeze into it's precincts, missed the affair.
 Paris was ransacked, and exclusive gowns from the famous French design CTS were imported for the occasion. And those patronizing American Fashions for American women" show ed themselves in gowns especially de- signed to impress upon their unpatriot- ic kinswomen that America was as us ual, in the front rank.
 Dressmakers, designers, milliners and fashion writers were we'll repre- sented in the throng of First-nighters, as that one occasion would show the

WHY PATRON|zE THE

One of the big mail order houses of Chicago cleared $S,S22,610 last year. The likelihood is that some of it's employees were paid as much as from $3 to $5 per week. Most ot the money made by this firm came from the pockets of confiding people
 hundreds of miles away, who did not care to spend their money at home.

SOCIAL PRECEDENCE

There is a good sized social row on fin Washington. It started with the announcement of the ladies of the cabi net that they would not make calls up on all the wives of the Members of Congress. The revolt became so great that Mrs. Bryan recently published a signed statement saying that so far as physical possible the ladies of the cabinet would call upon a great many Congressmen's families.
 Now come the august Senators, who do do not propose to suffer indigni- ties. It is pointed out that some of the hostesses of the National capital have become so lax in regard to the observance of the rules of precedence, that a number of Senators now de cline to accept invitations to their en- tertainments.
 Senator Gallinger, Republican lead CT in the senate, has endorsed the statement by Senator Bacon of Geor- gia, setting forth the precedence so far as the Senate is concerned, and the information has been published in the Congressional Record. First comes the President ,and then, in or der, the Vice President, members of the Supreme Court, Secretary of State, and then the Senate. The Senate pre- ceded Cabinet officials, with the ex- ception of the Secretary of State, be- cause these officials have to be con firmed by the Senate itself.

Whose Fair Is 1t?

The State Fair of. South Dakota is
not a private institution rrE for per-
sonal profit. 1t belongs to the people
of the state, is their pubic property.
The State Board Of Agriculture is
grateful for the manner In which the
rank and file of South Dakotans have
supported their big institution. In
turn the Board is trying to make
good the confidence which the people
place in them and Is endeavoring to
see that there is no disappointment
either in exhibits or entertainments.
The Board has always purchased the
most costly and up-to-date attrac.
tions for the fair. Let's be right up
to the minute" has been their slogan.
Last year bhe big aviation meet was
the main feature. This year air ma
chimes are more common. The spec
tacular and 1913 patented pyrotech-
MICS are the latest In thrillers, SO
that's what the state fair will present
as the big attraction.
