FURCED EDUCATION.

Boys and girls forced against sheir

chatterers through their lives. We love

and comic good sense, even though
some of the higher rules of rhetoric
may be violated. We love man
whose native boyishness is not all lost

The question OF good roads is one OF
untold Importance. It has been con-
sidered, from time to time, by the
press, but only in fragmentary way,
and, never as it has really merited. It
is not affirming too much to say that
the bad conditions of the roads entail a
heavier burden on the farming CON-
uunity than do all the taxes OF county
and State combined. The waste OF
time and the wear and tear on wagons,
the excessive work of horses, the loss
of opportunity to take advantage OF
hieh markets, and the cost to keep the

Not to Be Thought OF.

Years ago Senator Fry visited Spo-
kane, which was then in the heyday
of its boom life. He was royalty en-
tertained by Latriarchal old fellow
who seemed to be somewhat more Of a
boomer than many of the ardent ones
gathered there. He looked like dea-
con, wore long whiskers, and was re-
puted to be immensely wealthy. In
speaking of the visit, The senator said:
"One of the objects which attracted
my attention was very long building
"a tremendous affair, one of the long
est buildings | had ever seen. How
many gambling games do you suppose
there are in that building?' asked my
friend and guide Give it up said L.

umph. 'Gracious! said /, and how
many bars?' 'Thirty-nine.' Now, look

stroy that thing or it will destroy you

DICTATES OF FASHION

in pretty nearly all materials.
New side flare turbans closely fit the
head. but with soaring uplift on the
left side.
New large sailorlike hats have
graceful curves that family suggest

Even fur coats have the close, CEN
trail fastening all the way up the
front of the coat
Plaid and striped silks IN dark warm
colors are having even more than their
share of favor.
Loose sack coats with narrow Shout
ders and high collars are among the
quaint revivals.
An evening coat of Natter blue vel
vet and gold grosgrain silk has ac-
cents of black velvet ribbon.
Some of the new hats, with their
soft velvet crowns, have a distinct
Renaissance of the beefeater and the
tam.
Some charmingly gay-fronted vel
veteens and similar fabrics have been
made purely with view to collars
and cuffs.
Now that colors are quiet and lines
severe, the touch of brightness has a
hundred times more Importance in a
costume.

NEW YEARS DAY IN CHINA
Painted Red-Time When All
Debts Must Be Settled.

New Year is the national payday in
China. All accounts must be squared
I'D at that time. and the man who
can't raise money enough to pay his
debts has to go into bankruptcy. The
laws are such that the creditor can en-
ter the debtors house and take what
he pleases if there is no settlement.
To prevent such action families club
together and MAKE all sorts of COM
PROMISES to keep UP the business rep
utation of the clan. New Year is a
great day for the pawnbrokers: their
shops are crowded with people who
want to redeem their best clothes be-
fore the New Year. There are crowds,
also who want t. pawn other things
In order to get money to pay their
debts. pawnbrokers receive high rates
of interest, in which they are protect
ed by the government.

try red, fguratively speaking. on New

Definite Ideas Have Been Laid Down
for Those Who Would Be Strict
Iy Up to Date.

Shoes match or blend with the cos
tune. For sport or practical wear,
high-buttoned boots with common
sense heels and heavy soles are worn.
For street wear there are boots cut
very high, with Cuban heels, and with
afternoon and evening costumes the
daintiest of footwear is worn.
With tailor-made costumes very high
laced boots are worn. Sometimes they
are laced up the front, sometimes up
the side. Skirts of tailor-made suits
being extremely short, the shoes are
shown off to great advantage. With
dark brown suit brown suede boots are
worn. with a dregs of wine suit
bronze kid, and with simple morning
suit Russian calf. Dressy high boots
are worn with afternoon costumes.
For instance, a pair of bronze kid has
straps up the front, each strap ne-
ing embroidered witt beads in
matching shade. Another smart high
shoe is of patent leather. With very

He enjoyed their chatty conversations

long; he liked yivacious femininity
across the table when he dined out

The cozy little dinner party was over.
Sister Madga and Phil-"Hub" she
patronizingly called him-were some
where out ia the back of the house.
They had left Roger and his old chum
Betty alone tete-a-tete in the dimly
lit parlor.

Roger hadn't seen her! Why, she had
developed into positive little peach!
What a sensation she would maxi at

She hadn't forgotten about their old
days together, either-recalled lots of
little childish intimacies that had
slipped even Rogers memory. Why,

NEW SWEATERS WILL PLEASE
DESIGNED to Add Distinctive Touch to
the Costumes OF the Season
of Winter.

Silk sweaters with wool backs have
both warmth and beauty. They are
of three-quarter length and are made
with belts or sashes and are fur
trimmed. The bright colors with black
or white trimmings make very strik-
ing and attractive effect. Many winter
sweaters have the same features as
summer sweaters. The length is about
the same and the collars are of the
convertible style. There are more
wide belts than sashes. They are at
the normal waist line and are finished
on he side or front with buttons.
Checks. stripes and changeable effects
are used, but the most popular effect
is the sweater of solid color with trim
mings of contrasting color or black,
or in a darker color Of the sweater.
There are caps and scarfs to match
sweaters. These give smart touch to q

IN MILITARY FASHION
SMARTEST MILLINERY MODELS
ARE so TRIMMED.
Cooked Hats and Tricornes Echo
Spirit of War-Somber Colors, of
Course, Are Used in Ma
jority of Cases.

There is much charm in the Cont
mental hat, for the tricorne is, almost
without exception, one of the most be-
coming hats to all types of beauty.
The smartest models are trimmed in
a truly military fashion with cockades
of ribbon, combining the colors of one
or other Of the warning nations.
Fantasies of osprey, aigrette, para
disc or ostrich plumage, or the grace
full sweeping feathers of the humble
chanticleer, are also favorite trim
mings for the tricorne.
There are also one point or unicorne,
and bicOrne hats, and hats with mush-
room brims turned down demurely,
like the anglers headgear.
A unicorne design of exceptional
smartness is developed in purple mir
ror velvet and trimmed with charm
ing butterfly bow of oxidized silver
ribbon.
Some of the newest aspects of the
feather trimmed millinery are seen in
the cog pompons that are arranged to
curl downward around the edge of the
are reminiscent of the dainty turbans
Of the second empire, which were CO.
quettishly posed on the head, while the
feather itself curled in a fascinating
manner over the brim.
While sOmber coiors seem to pre-
dominate, now and then some coura-
geous milliner exploits a hat of velvet
or lusterless silk in a vivid tone of red,
green or purple.
Garibaldi red, which is a good, old
fashioned hue, is favorite and it is
sometimes relieved by touches of navy
blue or bersaglieri green.
There is also general demand for
headgear in all shades of gray, for the
costume of this conservative color is
to be most popular this autumn and
winter
One of the jauntiest of the new pic
turesque hats is the cooked hat of dark
blue or black velvet. Of course, it is
beaded ornament
The ever popular black and white
hat continues to command it's share Of
popularity, and we see street hats Of
black velvet or satin trimmed with
white striped ribbon, white braid or
white beaded birds or flowers
The hats ornamented with white
worsted embroidery, which earlier in
the season promised to win the ap-
prevail of smart women, have failed to
do so.
