WORK CONVICTS
AT KING HILL
Number Of TRUSTEES to Be Sent
Out to Repair Canal and
Build Roads.

FROM 10 to Is TRUSTEES from the
state penitentiary will leave the pris
on today or tomorrow for the King
Hill project, which was boughr in by
the state land board when 1t was Of
fered at auction some time ago.
The men will be under the direc-
ton of B. p. Shawhan, who acted as
receiver of the project when it was
abandoned, and who Is the manager
for the state in the work which is to
be done i'm the future. The men will
be on the job probably all summer.
A tent camp has been established to
house the crew. One overseer will
go with the men and the force will
probably be enlraged as the need war.
rants.
The work which the men will dc
Is principally road building. The
road will be constructed along the
canal. The canal too needs some
work done on it. The wet weather Ct
the winter has broken down the sides
of the canal in some places by slides,
and the ditch will be put in order for
use by the convicts. This is the first
time that cohvicts have been used forI
any such work. The state blaid Of
prison commissioners gava the war
den the power to employ conNcts on
state irrigation projects at time late
last month when the members Of that
board were sitting as the state land
board and considering the disposition
of the King Hill and Gem projects,
which are now owned by the stat.
The men have been employed on
farms leased by the penitentiary be-
fore and have cut the stone for the
state mental hospital now in process
of construction at Nampa.
No work will be done on the Gem
district at the present time, for
there is no water on the project which
can be used for domsetic purposes.
1t is the intention of the officials
to have we'll driven Immediately aid
force of men will be sent out as
soon as the water is reached, probab-
ly in a short time.
The work which is to be done on
that project is of a rough nature and
consists of clearing the land and
plowing it. The ground cannot be PIT
in shape until late in the fall, and
it is not their intention to try to put
in a crop until next year. However,
by next season the Gem district will
be in shape to harvest a crop. -

ARCHIBALD RECEPTION

A complete surprise was given Mr..

Mr.. and Mrs. Archibald We're inVit-

White Lace Waists.

Not only are nets and laces used
together, but they are combined with
taffeta. Dressy waists have the upper
part of lace and the girdle or peplum
in white or colored silk. The new
Japanese collar and the plated sleeve
frills are also made of taffeta. ALL
over shadow laces and plain nets are
shirred on heavy cords and trimmed
with lace bands and edges.
Many of the models have the
sleeves unlined, but the body of the
waist shows low-cut lining both
back and front. This leaves the neck
and the arms partially uncovered, the
tint of the flesh showing through the
lace. When entire Innings are used,
pale pink chiffon or net is used, as
this suggests the flesh tint. A large
proportion of the necks are finishe ed
with an outstanding frill, modified
Medici. or high rolling effect. The
front finish of the neck is either a
sharp v outline or widened at the
sides and finished in a shallow point
In the center.

1T is said that French women can
l Garry off" extremes of style grace
fully that are quite impossible to other
women. But the French insist that
Americans are favored with the same
gift. Whatever may be our opinion of
the French talent for clothes, we will
concede that the women manage their
coiffures with fine effect. Here is a
group of three, dressed to suit the in
dividuals and to be worn with eve
ming dress. Each one shows the beau
ty of carefulness, at least, and some
originality of treatment.
At the top a simple style shows the
hair waved only about the face. 1t is
plain over the crown of the head and
combed to the nape of the neck. There
is a wide, loose and very soft braid
made of wavy hair extending all about
the head. An ornament made of pearl
beads follows the line of the braid and
holds the hair about the face neatly in
place.
Such a coiffure is an excellent model
for women whose heads are not as
shapely as they could wish.
The coiffure shown at the left is a
good selection for one who is forced
to help out a scant supply of thin hair
with a well-made piece that can be

IN those alluring shop windows along
the boulevards, gayly fiowered vests
and brilliant ribbon girdles promise
another colorful springtime. Clothes
are to be cheerful. Colors are not SO
strong and primitive as those of last
year, but richer and quite as vivid.
And they are combined with the cum
ming of the Orient, to which many
makers of things fashionable are look
ing for inspiration.
1t is in accessories of dress that
the woman of good taste Will find
opportunity to indulge her love of
color. The small vests, coates, CIR
dies and sashes made of gorgeous rib
bons or piece goods are little touches
Of splendor, to be added to gowns of
plain colors or white. Little coats
Of fiowered crepe de chine, challi
and similar fabrics are the smartest
of conceptions and Just in the mode.
They are destined to thrive for at
least one successful season
Nearly all the vests are made of
brocaded or figured ribbons. A few
are of plaid ribbon showing unusually
beautiful color combinations. In all
cases they are brilliant, either with
bright colors or OF quieter tones bur-
nished with gold or silver thread.
Rose color. old blue, pea green, ma
hogany and olive green, with all the
gold shades, are featured in brocades
In Roman stripes and in plaids, strong
reds. blues, greens, with black and
white, are embodied. with one color
predominating as a rule.
No woman who goes a-traveling
need be told how useful these girdles,
vests and little coats are in making
variety for her. Given one or two
suits, several blouses and girdles, a
brilliant vest and a little lowered
coat, and almost any number of
changes may be rung In the toilette.
1t may be toned up by these acces-
sories to fit any occasion.

ribbon is shown here. 1t has a green

pinned on. The natural hair is waved
and combed back to the nape Of the
neck. Here it is coiled or the ends
are turned under and fastened in with
a fancy comb in the new mode. The
entire front effect is made by pin
ming on a ready-dressed piece made
with a short light fringe over the fore
head.
Milady's own hair is waved and
dressed as shown in the third coiffure.
A small fiat pad supports the hair at
the back. The waving is very loose
and the hair, parted a little at one
side and fluffed sweeps backward and
over the pad All the ends are brought
together in the new mode at the right
side and pinned in with a long shell
comb.
Women are, rather reluctantly,
adopting the high hair dress, but with
one accord apparently taking to waved
hair
One should not lose sight of the
value of individuality in the matter of
the coiffure. 1t is as desirable as va
riety. An occasional change of styles
pleases everyone, for in hair-dressing,
as in other things, variety is the spice
of life.
