When Like Meets Like.

The caller at the teller's window
was very bald, but the teller inside had
him beaten by hairs breadth. There
was still a struggling fringe around
the outer border of the callers head
while the tellers had long reached the
stage when he brushed his head with
a towel.
The caller had evidently imbibed
rather freely that day.
He took long look at the teller
smiled a smirking, Quizzical smile

ALL RIGHT IN THE FUTURE
Proof That Little Dorothy Had I'm

by Her Mother.

Dorothy's mother is a suffragette OF
advanced type. Dorothy is dear
little girl in primary grade. but
somewhat inclined to copy her elders.
One dag her teacher received a note
from the secretary of the school
board, but waited until after class to
read it. Dorothy returned for some
books and caught tears in the teach
er's eyes (the latter had been denied
an increase in salary upon which she
had based large hopes). and said;
why are you crying?"
The teacher laughed and said, THE
naughty old school board isn't nice
to mel"
Dorothy took hold of the teacher $
hand with both hers and said very
seriously. Don't you cry any more

The Parasol Veil.

Another novelty of note is the So
called parasol veil. This is a huge
circular veil thrown over the hat so
that it falls in equal ripples on all
sides. A border of ribbon combined
with velvet dots renders this creation
a striking one
Still another new idea is featured in
fancy mesh yelling with a sand-col-
ored kid flower applied so that 1t
would appear over the mouth when
the yelling is adjusted. This style is
strongly suggestive of the old time
vanity veil.

THOSE undermuslins in which mar

tings are used with little sheer en-
broidery are very effectively made up
after the same patterns as those in
which handmade cluny lace is used.
All these trimmings are equally dura-
BILE and will outlast almost any of the
sheer fabrics which are favored for
the body of these garments. If sewed
in by hand they will not be difficult
to transfer to a second term of serv-
ice in new material.
In the night dress shown in the pic

A LTHOUGH many of the new spring
IA blouses and dresses are made with
high collars, there are many of them
that show an open throat. Practical
ly every collar is high at the back and
sides, but at least half of them are
s'V' shaped in front, or may be worn
either open or closed
Two styles appear to be in the run
ming for first place for warm weather.
They are the collar of lace or sheer
embroidery like that shown in the
picture, or the high fitted collar of net
or organdie which sets close about the
neck, worn with second collar which
finishes the bodice at the back and
sides and is wired to stand away from
the neck and to turn over.
There is almost no end to the num-
ber of designs in which these fancy
collars are made, Many of them have
blouse or coat.
A narrow frill of lace or net about
the throat attached to band of vel
vet or satin ribbon is worn with waists
having round necks. This is becom-
ing to those with long and slender
figures who can wear the high closely
dtting collars also. But for the short
deck and full throat the ''V'' shaped
opening at the front is altogether best.

FARM LOAN LAW INVALID.
Supreme Court Knocks Out Measure
Giving State Aid in Individual
CaseS

's'iS SedeS SN'o sfe'Sioddi
Cases.
Denver.-The State Supreme Court
declared invalid all parts of the farm
ers' loan law which provide for
loaning system. The decision was an.
nounced in the case brought by At
torney General Farrar in the name OF
the people against Nj. A. Leddy, former
treasurer, to compel him to apportion
uninvested school funds for loans to
farmers on unincumbered property as
provided by the law.
The case. which was a test one, was
advanced by the Supreme Court upon
its docket in order that an early de-
cision might be had while the Legis-
lature was in session.
Bills to remedy the constitutional
defects of the loan law are now pend
ing in both the House and Senate.
The court found that section 46 of
the loan law was in violation of Sec
ton l, article 8 OF the constitution,
which prohibits the state or any coun-
ty or municipality from lending it's
| credit to any person, company or
corporation" or from becoming respon-
sible for any debt OF any person or
corporation.
By the provision of the law in ques-
| ton, the county commissioners were
| to assess a tax upon all assessable
| property in their county to meet any
| default in payment by farmers OF
| money loaned them by the state.
The court held that the law made
the counties liable for the debts OF
the farmers and was therefore invalid
and that it was unconstitutional for
a second reason; that the counties had
no right to make up loans of the
school fund because section 3, article
9 of the constitution provides that "the
state shall supply all losses of the
school fund that occur in any manner
The bills which have been intro
duced in the Legislature are designed
to meet these two defects. The Sen
ate measure is by Senator Barela and
the House measure by Representative
Fincher and Nelson.

broidery.
The ever-present lingerie ribbon is
threaded through the beading at the
waist and reappears in the edging at
the neck and sleeves. 1t is tied in
simple bows with long loops.
Except for the long felled seams at
the side, the work on a gown of this
kind is much more elegant if done by
hand Even the panels of set-in en-
broidery that form the yoke will not
take a great deal of time and are
more elegant than machine work.

the bill passed prescribing eight hours
