MANY FRIENDS ENTERTAINED
At LEM|RE'S STAG PARTY

The palatial new home of Mr..
and Mrs. ]. A. Lemire was tho
scene of one of Romans LARGEST
and gayest social events on FRIDAY
evening of last week, Mrs. Le-
mire having arranged a stag"
foc her husband in honor of one
his not too numerous BIRTHDAYS.
About forty invitations were
issued, to which practically all
recipients heartily responded by
their presence.
BY nine O'Clock the large and
comfortable rooms of the Lemire
home We're filled with as jolly a
bunch of old stays as could be
rounded up in Montana, the
whole world, or any other Indian
country. Tables and cards, and
all other necessary parphenalia,
was in readiness, and from that
minute until midnight progress
sive whist reigned supreme, war
for the championship raging
with earnestness and vigor.
When the final accounting came
Jim O'Neil was declared the
winner and as a reward for
his ability to handle the paste
boards with the gift of an
expert, received handsome
smoking set. w. ]. Egan landed
the second prize, a bill book.
At IL o'clock, ably assisted by
Mrs. Broughton, Mrs. Bailey and
Mrs. Sheen, Mrs. Lemire served
an elegant lunch, to which all
did ample justice. After lunch
card playing was resumed, each
table selecting their favorite
game, and by the time the last
had bid their host and hostess
good night slight indications of
the break of day might possibly
have been noticed in the eastern
horizon. No further evidence is
required to confirm the state
ment that all present thoroughly
enjoyed the occasion.
Out of town guests present
were George and Andrew Beck
with, DIR. Mathews and w. H.
Meglasson Of St. Ignatius.

Ousted

Sheriff Whitaker is out. That
is, he is out of the socialist party
of Missoula. At a meeting of
the Missoula local last Sunday he
was kicked out body and breeches
without a dissenting vote. But
Mr.. Whitaker had withdrawn
from the party a week before, as
had also many other socialists of
Missoula, leaving only the radical
element to run the party. Sher-
if Whitaker has started out in
the right way to make Missoula
county a good sheriff and now
that he has shaken the socialistic
weight from his shoulders he
should make good.

THERE CAN ONLY BE TWO
real reasons for putting off

you do not really appreciate

EARTH WAS ONCE ALL WARM
Royal Meteorological Society Declares
That the Climate Was Formerly
Almost Uniform.

Prof. A. c. Seward, In a lecture on
Climate as Tested by Fossil Plants"
before the Royal Meteorological So
ciety Of London, said that the geo.
graphical distribution of plants during
the latter part Of the Paleozoic era
afforded evidence of the existence of
two botanical provinces-the one a
northern province, characterized by
a luxuriant flora. living under condi-
tions more genial than those to which
the poorer flora of the other, the
southern, hemisphere was exposed.
The presence or absence of rings Of
growth in the petrified stems of plants
might afford evidence of the occur
renee or absence of seasonal changes.
A general survey of the jurassic
flora of the world, said Prof. Seward,
led to the conclusion that the climate
was comparatively uniform, and in arc
tic and antarctic regions much more
genial than at the present day. The
fossil floras of more recent geological
periods furnished clear evidence Of
sub-tropical conditions in Europe; in
later times the occurrence Of northern
types in Britain heralded the approach
Of the glacial period, and in post-gla-
cial beds were found fragmentary re-
mains of immigrants from neighbor-
ing floras which had largely contrib
uted to the present fora

Water Cooled Without Ice.

In semi-arid regions natives supply
themselves with cool water through
the use Of porous earthen urns which
are placed where they can be exposed
to the action of the breezes; at the
same time the urns are protected from

and the water within cooled. The
same principle may be utilized by hav-
ing concrete tanks or receptacles for
water where ice cannot conveniently
be procured. Ordinary concrete is
porous and because of this serves in
the same capacity as if it were earth
enware. Such a container is well
suited for use in harvest fields and on
golf courses.

later, and the following day Lee Wes-
ton applied to a high-class detective
agency for a position Its chief smiled
covertly at his enthusiasm and willing
ness to study elementary investigatory
methods. He was given the task of
watching two men under suspicion
OF having been concerned in q large

for the Office of his chief.
For, in shadowing Greg Amory, Wes-
ton had found that his sister, Mary
Amory. had mysteriously disappeared
His report of finding her aroused his
chief. Within a few hours a grand
climax eventuated.
The woman had managed to get hold
of the stolen jewels from her brother
surreptiously. She wished to prevent
his continuing in his evil path, and
had placed them in a safety deposit
vault, intending to find the owner,
when her accident befell her.
She recovered and shared in the re-
ward. The chief offered Weston a per-
manent position, but Fay dissuaded
him.
For Fay-sweet, loving Fay-was
now his affianced wife, with the sense
and ability to build dignified business
plans for his future.

CONSIDER NOW THE NECKTlE
Important In Scheme Of Costume 10
This Adornment, Now In Such
Great Variety.

High. straight fur neckties of the
tour de cou" order are again very
fashionable for girls. These ties are
charming when made of ermine and
finished of at one side with a bunch
OF black tails. Similar ties are made
OF skunk and fastened with a dark
crimson rose. yet others are carried
out in mink and dark brown chiffon.
A velvet epidemic is here. There was
no foreshadowing of it in the French
styles shown in August, which goes to
prove that we like to dress as our
neighbors dress, for the day that a
few smart women INDUCED in velvet
gowns the mass followed suit.
An ingenious way of keeping the
sash at the desired low waist line was
seen on another model trimmed in
military style. Straps of braid held at
Doth ends with little silver buttons
were placed at intervals, forming a
prescribed track for the black satin
girdle
The girdle is often the only detail Of
costume that attracts attention. This
TACT should be made the most of by
women obliged to plan winter outfit
on a limited dress allowance, as a few
adjustable girdles and sashes will not
only furnish variety but also provide
the easiest means to bring last years
dresses up to the present-day styles.
Probably we are tired of the plated
tunic' and, not quite accepting the
ripping skirt, made in one line from
waist to shoe top. have adopted the
nounced skirt. which gives three lines

IDEAS IN THE NEW STOCKS
Satin Collar and Cuff Sets Perhaps
More Predominant Than Any Of
More Recent Styles.

Satin collar and cuff sets are con.
sidered among the smartest effects.
In some Of the high-class models both
the collar and the cuffs are in unique
points. The collar portion is wired
in the back to suggest the Medici.
F1esh-colored satin sets are particu-
larly smart.
Satin, however, finds its greatest en-
ployment in the new ultra-high closed
stocks. These are shown in black and
In white or in black and white combi-
nations, with severe tabs in the front.
sometimes combined with fan plaits
in the back
Perhaps the most interesting thing
OF all is the odd way in which these
new stocks are worn. In days gone
by their use was limited largely to
closed neck shirt or severe tailored
blouse. Now, however, they are worn
with various V-neck waists, simply
fastened around the neck, leaving the
V portion bare. Thus the stock is
rendered equally adaptable either for
. low OF for closeneck waist
