Flowers As Establishment
. To Fashions Newest FrOckS

Flowers are essentially a feminine
tihciGl blooms they should not be criti-
cised. for flowers are to them neces-
sity and faded and wfthered ones are
certainly not alluring. Moreover, as cut
flowers stain it would hardly be wise to
twine them about the skirts of dinner
gowns.
The scheme of twining flowers Is fol-
lowed on a costume the white chiffon
skirt of which is wound with a string Of
roses dor, starting under cluster at
the belt, and twice encircling the hips
and once the knees.
Rose dor chiffon also drapes the shoul-
ders and forms the sleeves and under
arm portion of a white chiffon bodice,
the square decolletage Of which is part
ly outlined with a wired white lace Med
lei collar.
Roses Much Used.
Roses in lieu of bowers tip the ends
of the ribbons which hold in the draper
les. and in some instances are placed at
Intervals upon the girdles of evening
gowns.
Still more novel, however. is the bro
caded effect produced by attaching roses
in geometrical designs on a gauze fab
ric. aa-
A remarkably tall young matron who
lives at the Ritz-Carlton wore in its res
taurant an informal dinner gown in light
blue taffeta veiled with a side-pointed,
self-toned chiffon tunic, sprinkled sparse
ly with yellow roses. A broad golden
yellow ribbon crossing the shoulders and
separating the v neck's frill from NOUS
quetaire sleeves was rose-caught where
it crossed at the bust and again at the
back of the waist.
Moss roses, rarely seen growing beyond
the confines of eighteenth century gar
dens are again to the fore. They chiefly
contribute to the making Of fine little
necklaces, fastened at one side with the
tiniest of bows, which young girls wear
to parties with their white net frocks.
Larger roses are made into girdles for
the older sisters.
A certain white rose with q silvery
sheen on its petals makes the loveliest
of girdles separating the tulle bodice
from the silver-brocaded blue satin skirt
OF a dinner gown
On a ball frock, composed of a blue
chutedo skirt and a bodice in silver en-
broidered net lace, double strands OF tiny
pink roses girdle the waist, while single
strands of matching flowers cross the
shoulders and outline the pointed decollet-
age.
Flower Border Neglfgees.
Flowers are on negligees- They en-
circle as well as border the short sleeves
of the net lace tunic belonging to a
fiowered silk negligee in white and pink.
And they edge the rounded necks and
the loose-falling sleeves Of diaphanous
lounging robes in chiffon.
Roses, violets, forget-me-nots, daisies
and a throng of tiny flowers seem to be-
long inseparably to the fashionable wom-
ans wardrobe. In daintiest tones OF
chiffon or net or silk, they trim fan

TO INCREASE EARNINGS.

To appoint women to study the con-
dition of working women with a view
to increasing their earning capacity is
wise step taken recently by Uncle
Sam in the appointment of two women
on the National Commission to Investi-
gate Vocational Education.
Miss Florence NJ. Marshall, one OF
these women selected by President
Wilson, is the principal of the Man
haitian Trade School in New York.
where 500 day scholars, go evenins
scholars, and a long waiting list prove
the eagerness with which the girl grad
yates from elementary schools and
others over fourteen strive to improve
themselves in their chosen work or learn
outside handicraft which will enable
them to obtain other work in the on
season of their own special line, when
otherwise they would be thrown out of
employment for several months at q
time.

Buy one gallon Of benzine. Collect all
the kid gloves. white kid gloves or slip

and use the other for rinsing. When the
dirt has settled in the basins. carefully
pour off into a jug. and break up into il a
lo-cent cake of ice camphor.
Let this stand a day or two until thor
oughly dissolved. and use in an oil feeder

There are scales OF all stages drawing
the sap from the plant which II attacks,
and for this reason IT will not be an
easy task to destroy them. Any poison
strong enough to kill the matured scales
will destroy the foliage and sometimes
the plant itself. 1t Is worth while to

LINGERIE
IS VERY POPULAR

II any one had suggested colored lin
gerie to the conservative a year ago
she would have shrunk from even the
idea OF combinations, shirts. corsets,
and petticoats of pink or blue or yel-
low.
But crepe de chine has been found
to be quite serviceable for lingerie as
the thin bastiste of former season. 1t
is far softer and more delightful to
wear.
White crepe de chine becomes some
what creamy after washing and Is there
fore less popular than the colored crepe
de chine which form many of the new
combinations and undershirts.
To wear over these colored garments
under the thin blouses of the spring,
there are now being shown delicate
camisoles made entirely of lace in a
plaid design, faggoting holding the lace
together, but SO slightly that when
donned the delicate colors CT the COM
| bination show through in most effective
fashion. ..
Net camisoles and in some instances
chiffon ones with tops of lace are also
much worn nowadays, the transparency
| of nilady's blouse making 1t almost a
necessity.
AT one of the smart hotels, a day or
SO ago, girl was hoteo WEARING
blouse of delicate pink chiffon. Under
meath this she wore camisole of a
deeper shade of silk-or perhaps satin
with top Of lace, the deeper pink natur-
ally served to deepen the color of the
chiffon so that the whole effect of the
blouse was like the delicateiy shaded
| tints of rose petal and was most ell
| fective.
Still another charming effect was noted
in a parma violet chiffon over rose
pink camisoie. the effect being that OF a
changeable fabric. 1t is ,more usual
however, to have the camisoles, the skirt,
corsets, and petticoat all of one tint with
the costume.
1t is an old little fact, however tii'it
while colored lingerie is SO very much
LIN vogue it is still considered very bad
taste to wear coIored ribbons in white
! lingerie, but feminine fashions are MOTH

The annual ball of the knights of

sistants, the hall was in perfect shape.

GRATED in the colors and regalia OF
the lodge, presenting a beautiful
and harmonious aspect This affair
has been always recognized as the
crowning social affair of the year in
this city and If the many words of en-
thusiastic praise for last nights af-
fair are barometer to the feelings
of the guests present, it has never
been surpassed in the social history
of Elko.
About one hundred and fifty cou,
pies were on the floor when the
grand march. started. The latter was
lead by Grand Chancellor Gardner
and Mrs. L. L. Wintermantel.
1t was, to use an old and trite ex-
preston, sight for sore eyes to see
the costumes which bedecked the
forms of the flower of Elko's society
who were on the floor. 1t is probable
that there has never been seen in this
state more beautiful lot of gowns
than those which were worn by the
ladies present. In fact the whole af-
fair was a beautiful scene laid to a
beautiful setting and the local lodge
of the Knights of Pythias, and es-
pecially Mr.. Gardner, are to be con
graduated on the success they made
out of the affair.Grand Cheancellor
Gardner is the first man who holds
that high Office who has lived In this
city in the last twenty-five years and
last nights ball only served to carry
out the fact that the lodge could not
have selected more worthy man for
the position. He was the ruling spir-
1t before, during and after the affair
and it is largely due to his splendid
efforts that success was made out Of
1t.
Dancing continued from the time
the grand march was inaugurated un-
til 2 a. M, punch being served in the
intermissions.
People in this city have many
things to give thanks for, but as one
young man said this morning IL the
*. of P. gave ball every day in the
year, every day would he Thanltsgiv-
ing day for him. He only voiced the
sentiments of all who attended.

FIRST NEVADA WOMAN
CALLED FOR JURY Dill

Women under the new dispensatio1
in Nevada need not vote unless they
so desire, but serving on juries, thai
is another matter already. SOS
On this point Mrs. R. L. Fulton yes
terday received the shock of her life
when she got paper bearing the
sheriff's signature commanding hel
to appear for jury duty before Judge
Salisbury's court next Monday morn
ing at 10 o'clock.
Here is a subpoena" said Mr.. Full
ton, handing the paper to his wife
1T commands you to serve on the
jury"
But I do not wish to serve on the
horrid jury" said Mrs. Fulton.
well you ladies have the vote
now and all that goes with it." said
Fulton, "and 1 don't see any way out
of it."
"Oh, dear!" exclaimed Mrs. Fulton
II just knew there would be a lot OF
trouble over this voting"
But 1t was only a joke Mr.. Fulton
received the subpoena, directed to
himself. He prefixed the title Mrs
before his own name on the subpoena
and delivered it to his wife.

women will be called on to serve up

northern portion Of the great salt
lake from the main body. has produc-
ed so great a change in the character
of the north end Of the lake that Ice
foes exist there this year for the first
time in history. although the weather
has been unusually mild. The Bear
river discharges into the portion
north of the cutoff and the water has
become steadily fresher ever since

MOVEMENT STARTED BY rae
EPISCOPAL CHURCH TO SEND
TO THE PEOPLE OF
BELGIUM
1T is A MATTER WHICH SHOULD
APPEAL TO EVERY PERSON
WITH THE LOVE OF coUN-
TRY WITHIN HIM

A movement has been put on foot
locally to take up a contribution foI
the relief of the Belgians who are al.
most in state of starvation as a re
suit of the recent German invasion of
their country. The first step was
day at their Thanksgiving services,
when $18.35 was contributed for that
purpose. Other churches and socie-
ties are expected to take this matter
up and it is probable that in short
while nice fund will be gotten to-
gether for the relief of these people
who defended their land SO bravely.
There has never been a race Of peo-
pie who have shown more bravery
and love of country than these Bel
CLANS. 1t was the same people whom
Julius Caesar, in his Commentaries,
classed rs the bravest of all Gaul.
They have always been a peaceable,
homeloying people, who had rather
stay at home and attend to their own
business than to fight with anyone.
They are always ready, however, to
ldefend their homes with their life
blood. This is the attitude they have
taken in the present war. They de-
Tended their homes for weeks against
the greatest odds any country had to
contend with and although defeated
in the end and put under brutal Ger
man yoke, they have the respect and
sympathy of the whole world.
1t is time that Elko takes the mat
ter up as all our neighbors are doing
and sending a fund to these brave
people. The Episcopal church has
made the first step in a great move
ment and all other organizations and
societies should follow. All the
churches in this city should take the
matter up at the Sunday services.
We of Elko, are in the lap of luxury,
scarcely feeling the stringency of the
present time and our Belgian cousins
are STRIVING, all because they chrose
to defend their homes Think the
matter over and let all churches,
lodges societies, frIns and individL
uals take the matter up and send re-
lief to the Belgians.

the suffrage agitator,s sums up the
campaign that turned Nevada into a

last election, according to the Boston
Record, a reporter from which inter
viewed her. "A. =, :, ,s.s,,.s,,.. Z.
Miss Foley was not content to cam
paign the western state as it had
always been done before, and she ac-
eomplished the almost unbelievable
feat OF visiting every mining camp in
the state where even q half dozen yot-
ers could be reached after travelling
80 to 100 miles over the toughest of
trails, sometimes where horseback
riding was out of the question.
To do this which no man campaign
er, not even state candidate, had ev-
/ er attempted, she had to travel over
the toughest roads and in the tough
est company. OF course she was in:
evitable the only woman on these
journeys, and many times she rode all
night in a rough wagon or motor .
truck.
1T seems like dream, a dime
novel, moving picture, miss Foley
declared in telling of her experiences.
"They all laughed at me when
landed out in Nevada and enthusias-
dcally declared that 1 was going to
visit every mining camp in the state
where a voter was to be found. It
was unheard of, even for man to un-
dertake. The men politicians out
there never pretend to visit any place
where there are not at least 100 vot-
ers.

one of the hardest campaigners, told

carry out my itinerary 1 would find
myself in some of the worst mining
camps of the country, and that my
schedule would keep me without de-
cent food and sleeping quarters for
