from the frock of serge or satin, with
its tight-fitting, smart sleeves to her
frock of chambray and cotton crepe
Now instead Of rolling back, pinning,
wrinkling, and generally soiling a fresh
dress, she merely removes her sleeves,
proceeds with her work, and when the
necessity for freedom of action is past,
buttons them on again. The wide
pocket, too, is made good use of.
The Pantaletts Skirt
Practical hOusekeepers are obliged
to climb ladder now and then, to hang
pictures, drape curtain or pOrtiere, or
reach a glass of jam on the very tip-top
shelf OF the cupboard, and then-what a
nuisance fluffy petticoat is! Along
comes the efficiency expert and designs
the trouser skirt. Blouse and trou-
sers, which resemble a pair of overalls,
are Joined together; there is an outside
skirt worn in the ordinary way, which
may be omitted when there is strenu-
Gus work to do, and donned when de-
sired. This is, perhaps, one of the most
sensible costumes of the year. While
it is ideal for the house, it is quite as
good for the out-ofdoor girl who en-
joys a mountain climb; excellent for
walking, boating, and like sports. The
idea may be carried out attractively in
the dance frock; the pantalettes being
fashioned of filmy fabrics to correspond
with the frock

THE ALL-IMPORTANT
HOUSE DRESS
With Its Accompanying Apron in MILDLY or
Bungalow Style
PANTALETTE SKIRT A NOVELTY

Our modern housewife, be she bride
or matron, does not prepare breakfast
in be-ribboned and be-ruffled morning
robe, or dinner in passe afternoon
frock. She delights in her trim morn
ing. dress, with open throat, short skirt,
and sleeves developed in some fresh
material which may be tubbed every
Monday morning. Her hair is drawn
back daintily and becomingly, and often
confined under a cap of the same mater
ial as the housedress, to protect the hair
from dust and cooking odors.
The Material Of the Housedress
Bingham, chambray and percale are
the staple fabrics for these dresses, but
someone who desired to cimplify mat
tiers still further decided that plain
white soiled no quicker than starched
gingham or chambray; that soft, white
cotton crepe, which washes so easily,
requires no ironing, does not wrinkle,
and is fresher looking, was more prac-
teal, for these dresses than the old-time
fabrics which require starch ana care
ul laundering.

not be issued until the result of simila,
suits in Nez Perez county, now before
the courts are disposed of.
What Law Says
| The action filed by Frank l.. Moore.
prosecuting attorney of Latah county,
is based on the constitutional provision
barring counties and municipalities
from making donations to organiza
lions and associations. The section of
the constitution is as follows:
" Article s, Section 4.-No county
city, town, township, board of educa-
ton, or school district or other sub
division shall lend or pledge the credit
or faith thereof directly or indirectly
IN any manner, to, or aid of any in
dividual, association or incorporation.
for any amount or for any purpose
whatever, or become responsible for any
debt, contract or liability of any indiy-
idual, association or corporation in or
ouC VI Cuo OIdCe.
Allegations Made
The complaint in the case seeks the
recovery of the total amount given
above with interest at per cent until
judgment is entered. 1t involves an
appropriation of $500 made by the first
three named defendants, members of
the county board at that time, the war.

Buttons are used to trim these
dresses, too; but they must be wash
aDie button-bOne or crocheted. Pearl
buttons, which are not removable. are
apt to break when the garment is laun
dered. The large pearl or bone buttons,
however, the shanks of which NAV be
slipped through buttonholed eyelets,
secured with bar, and removed when
the frock goes to the tub, are the height
OF the practical. The skirt, which I'M
buttons from belt to hem and may be
laid out fiat on the ironing board, is
another happy notion.
Another way to brighten the house
dress without making it fussy is to pipe
the neck edge, armholes, cuffs, down the
'front.' and round the pockets, with a
contrasting bias tape. This comes in
linen or cotton, in many attractive col.
orings; also in stripes and checks, and
makes most effective trimming for both
dresses and aprons, also for children e
wash dresses. It may be purchased BY
the piece, comes folded, ready for use,
and being bias, may be applied readily
to armholes and neck edges.

ed the very thought of homework in

it and find cotton crepe, whether in pure
white, or patterned in color, most sat
lsfactory and practical material for the
workdress.
Popularity Of the smock
The gardening fad, which took a
strong hold upon the fancy of the city
dweller and the suburbanite, this sum
mer, was responsible for the introduc-
ton OF the smock. 1t has become de-
cldedly popular with housekeepers and
promises to find a permanent place in
the wardrobe. These smocks are fash
Toned of dark blue linen, chambrav,
duck, and similar materials, often
trimmed with shocking in contrasting
thread. They are especially practical
to slip on over an afternoon frock when
there is some slight task to be per-
formed which might possibly result in
spot or stain ON the gown. The wo-
man who delights in regilding a picture
frame, or frightening up a piece of
furniture, will also find them convenient
as they are generally made up in
somewhat heavier material than the
regulation apron, and, therefore, offer
more protection.
Bungalow or Acknowledging Aprons
These large, all-enveloping aprons
play no small part in the housekeepers
scheme of things. Crepe is also being
used considerably for these aprons, but
gingham still holds first place; this is
garment that requires bit of crisp
ness to make it look fresh. Percale
striped, or patterned in some conven-
tlonalized design, is attractive, too, and
there are a number of other wash fab.
rics, thin duck, for instance, that are
used.

ACTION AGAINST THE
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS

Frank l.. Moore, prosecuting attorney
for Latah county, who stands high in
the counsels of the Democratic party,
having been presidential elector in 1912
and receptive candidate for appoint
ment to the United States Senate to
succeed the late Senator Weldon B.
Hepburn, seems to have started some
thing legally in Latah county which has
attracted the attention of the entire
State. He held some time ago that
county commissioners could not make
donations to charitable institutions,
county fairs or corporations, and if they
did they were responsible personally.
He has now backed up his stand by FL
ing complaint Of a sensational char.
acter against Latah county officials for
SO doing.
Means Test Case
In this complaint A. Anderson is
plaintiff and Latah county is made ex-
relatione plaintiff against j. l.. Woody.
