that the present styles are exception
ally graceful.
Thin muslins, nainsooks, and
cambrics make up the body of the
garments. Much beading is used to
carry the ribbons which make gay the
several pieces.
In the midst of winter, when eve
nings are long and days are most
comfortably spent in the house. un-
derwear for the coming summer
should be made up. In fact, the bulk
of the summer sewing can be done
long before the clothes are needed.
Spring goods are on display in jan
uary, and by the first of February
styles for the coming spring and sum-
mer are fairly well settled.
A night dress OF cambria and Val
lace is shown in the picture.
The yoke and very short sleeves
are In one and made of Val In
sertions. There are two patterns
of lace, the rows sewed togeth-
er. The kimono sleeve portion may
be heightened by adding rows Of
insertion. A narrow edging fin
ishes the opening at the neck, and
a wider edge in the same pattern fin
ishes the sleeves.
The rows of lace may be whipped.

with q short overcast stitch, or sewed
on the machine.
The yoke Is joined to the skirt Of
the gown by a narrow band Of en-
broidered beading. Through this
ribbon II run, which ties at the front
In q small bow. This ribbon serves
TO adjust the gown to the figure.
For such pretty night robes, sepa-
rate bows and rosettes of ribbon are
provided. They are to be pinned on
with very small safety pins. Little
rosettes for the top Of the sleeves,
matching the other ribbons. but
without hanging ends, may be added
by way Of elaboration. T

design, too, is appropriate to older
women, as well as to the youthful
wearer. In fact, the difference in
fiounced gowns for young or older
wearers is discernible in finishing
touches, rather than in design. The
foundation skirts are plain and
straight. The f1ounces are adjusted
in differing poses. Sometimes, as in
the gown pictured, they sag toward
the back. but in good number this
is reversed and they rise toward the
back.
The waist line Is about the normal
In most OF them. While waists are
draped, these are set in sleeves as
well as drop shoulder and kimono eff
fects. Ribbons are conspicuous, and
the tango" shades, warm nasturtium
yellows, are specially liked.
Almost anyone who makes any pre-
tentions to sewing, or has any faith
In her own ability, can put together a
fiounced dress. The trick seems to be
in adjusting the flowers at the right
slope, with even fullness, and in not
getting them too full.
The three fiounced skirt, having the
fiounces shaped. is displayed for heav.
Ter fabrics, and is wonderfully attrac-
tive.
There is world of light, airy fab
RIGS. fascinating in design, and world
Of flmy laces. moderate in price, so
that the flounced gown has a pleasant
future before it. Limp fabrics are
chosen that fall to the figure. SO that
fiounces do not mean bulkiness. That
Is tabooed, and is likely to remain so.

Among the handsomest of gowns
are those of white net showing founc-

Much hand embroidery appears on
the gowns Of crepe, wolfe, etc. But
1t is Of kind that does not try the

The administration Is again plan

from Vera Cruz. One Carranza. a
fugitive provisional president. having
issued technical decree dema nded
by the State Department. there is an
inclination in administration circles to
accept thai as final amends and trans
port General Funston and his brigade

tinual presence of American troops at
Vera Cruz might cause trouble, since
fractional differences are again becom-
ing heated.
II this purpose is carried out 1t
might be well to inquire just what

naval and military activities In Mex

elimination of General Huerta as an
individual without elimination OF any
OF those evils Huerta was said to rep
resent. In fact conditions have grown
worse since Huerta's downfall and
Mexico is now in a more pitiful state
OF chaos and misery than ever. 1t
would be interesting to know just
how much of this wretchedness is
due to the Wilson Bryan policy of de-

THAT INAUGURAL BALL.

1t is of no general concern whether
Governor elect Alexander wants an in
augural ball or not, but for him to make
a plea to the dear peepul" that he
is one of them and wants to put on no
airs is bit of cheap demagoguery. The
state does not pay for the inaugural
ball and IL it was Mr.. Alexander's de-
sire to leave the impression that by
not having one he was saving the state
money he is endeavoring to play to the
grandstand in a cheap way. The in
augural ball is gotten up by Boise peo-
pie, the expenses are paid by the par
Elephants and all that the governor has
to do is to lead the grand march If he
feels so disposed and go home when
ever he gets ready The matter Of
holding the inaugural bail will probably
be decided by Boise people and Cover
nor-elect Alexander will have about
as much to do with it as If he lived
in Mars.
II we remember rightly Governor
Hawley made the same grandstand play
four years ago but when the night of
the inaugural bah rolled around his
excellency was there, boiled front and
all.-Pend d'Oreile Review.

MORE sPINELEss DIPLOMACY.

The latest Mexican policy of Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary Bryan is
to withdraw the troops from Vera
Cruz on November 20. The order will
stand until 1t is Cancelled, or reversed,
or modified, or, perhaps, carried out.
You newer can tell Throughout the
whole course of the sad Mexican EN-
broglio, nothing has been done by the
president or his volatile and impress
,sionable secretary of state with as
surance or firmness or definiteness.
One plan is good only until another is
devised to take it's place
President Wilson and Secretary
Bryan are going to take the Ameri-
can troops away because they are
tired OF ''coddling Mexico. They
purpose now to let Mexico settle its
own affairs.
Why, then, did we ever start in to
settle them? What have we been
doing all these months at Vera Cruz?
Why were American troops and
American ships sent there? What
have they accomplished for American
honor OF Mexican peace? What has
watchful waiting done for the United
States on for Mexico?
For whim, we spurned Huerta
because me was usurper whom we
charged with murder; and In his place
we are 10 have Carranza, the blow

can bandit hero who Is yet to hew his
way through ten thousand innocent
lives to the throne of Mexico. Yet
Huerta was Mexico's only chance of
peace. Our direct accountability for
Mexico's ieplorable plight began there.
We meddled. and then we began to
wait watchfully and pray piously, hop
ing Mexico would get through somehow
without involving us. We had taken
the precise course to involve us
Now we wash our hands of the

REACTlONARiES7

The election of Senator Penrose
and Senator Galliger and the return
to congress of Uncle Joe Cannon have
led to revival of the musty charge
that the Republican party Is ''reac-
tionary" and has returned to its
idols" No party that puts forth
Roger Sullivan. or William Joel Stone,
or Simeon Baldwin, or any OF the
Southern Old Guard as its candidates,
has a right to raise the "reactionary'
cry against any other.
Senator Penrose defeated the pure
Pinchot and the puffed-up Palmer by
over $50. 900 votes. 1t was a great
popular triumph for Penrose. No cor
rupt legislature elected him. The
people OF Pennsylvania elected him.
He was not elected because he was
Pennse, or because Penrose was or
was not reactionary. but because he
stood for the national policy of pro-
lection. They saw the way to a res
toration of good times and the full
dinner pail through Penrose There
Is no other explanation. There need
be none. If Penrose is reactionary. SO
are the sovereign people of Pennsyl-
vania
Senator Gallinger was reelected
largely because 1t is New England
habit to keep its senators and repre-
sentatives In office. and because also
he opposes the disastrous policies OF
the Democratic party.
Mr. Withcombe was elected In
Oregon by great vote. although a
ceaseless effort was made to show that
he is an enemy OF the direct primary
because he had participated in the
Assembly Of 1910 He. too, was 're-
dictionary The people turned dowr
every so-called progressive" measure
on the initiative ballot. Are the peo-
pie of Oregon also "reactionary"?
Truth is that undesirable candidate
and vicious measures adopt the mask
OF false progressivism In the hope OF
cheating the people. But the people
want rest from agitation and relief
from agitators. They want sanity

honesty and efficiency in public serv-
ants. The bunco men of politics. Ma.

THE FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE.

The foot and mouth disease of cat
tie, which has now spread to fourteen
states of the Union and threatens to
become nation wide calamity, Is
known to science as aphthous fever
or eczema epizootica. 1t Is not neces-
sarily fatal to mature cattle, though
1t Injuries them seriously, but young
stock usually succumb to It. The sym
ptoms are repulsive and cruelty dis
tressing. The discharge from the sores
Is virulently infectious, so much so that
the hands and the clothing of men who
have been near diseased animals may
carry 1t to others At the Chicago
stockyards. where the foot and mouth
disease has made ravages. 1t has been
decided to extirpate the pigeons that
perch on the roofs of the buildings
and the rats that burrow underneath,
lest they communicate the virus The
only defense against 1t is through dis
infection and the most attentive hy-
gienic care and even then formidable
accidents may occur. Sheep. goats and
swine are subject to the malady as well
as cattle.
The disease seems to have been
brought to Europe from the East. 1t
appeared in England for the first
time in 1889. Since that date there
have been eleven distinct outbreaks of
1t. but by 1902 1t was supposed to have
been thoroughly eradicated from that
country. II was brought to the United
States in 1870 from Canada, which had
been infected by English stock. The
warfare upon the disease has been COM
paratively successful in this country
until the current epidemic. which is vir-
ulent beyond precedent The cases of
its extraordinary spread just now are
as mysterious to scientific men as to
other people, but no doubt Investigation
will bring them to light. In the mean
time no precautions against the disease
can be too strict

NO ENDORSEMENT OF STANDPATISM,

OF former presidents. These portended
expulsion of the party in power at the
next presidential election and, unless
the presidents of AZ years are to be
reversed, the Democratic party will go
out of power in 1916"
The Tribune, however, warns the
Republican party that lit viii not de-
serve what it got If 1t permits the men
who were rejected in 1912 to become
once again prominent in it's councils :"
II concludes:
The men who left the party to
strike at the reactionaTy bosses
came back to ii to strike at Will
son. They can be kept in It,
They can be aIienated from 1t in
such numbers as to make 1916
another overturn. 1t Is up to the
progressive element in the Repub-
lican party. Tuesdays victory was
not a victory for reaction. though
reaction came riding in along with
the procession.
The New York American sums up
the popular verdict as an expression
for resentment in these words:
The Democratic party went to the
people asking them to vote candi-
dates into office as an evidence of
approval of the Wilson administra-
ton. The voters looked up the
record. They found 1t one of flat
and brazen violation of platform

fidence asked, and the more close

The Republican victory in New York
is ascribed by the New York Herald
year. That paper says that "as a par

The Evening Mail, formerly the most
vociferously Progressive of the New
York papers, now makes this frank con
fession:
The country has turned to the
Republican party to restore pros
perity. 1t has ignored all other Is
sues. with an emphasis that can
not be misunderstood. has declared
its determination to have no more

With but few exceptions, and these
only among the rockribbed Democrats,
the great newspapers OF the country
interpret the result of the election as
a rebuke to the Democratic admins
tratfpn and as presaging the early ex-
tinction OF the Progressive party. This
view Is taken not only by the Republ-
can but by the Progressive papers.
The papers of all three leading parties
agree in the opinion that Progressives
united with Republicans to express
their resentment at the results of
Democratic policy. Republican papers
assert. however. that Republican sue
