while for very elaborate dress no
thing is more charming than the sill
yer tissue cloths. Her slippers are OF
satin, to match the color of her dress,
or else of silver or gold tissue.
Pale or bright pink, blue, maize,
apricot and white are the colors spec
tally adapted to the youthful evening
dress. Some delightful frock are COM
pose of layers of tulle in different
harmonizing colors placed one above
the other, and the merging of these
colors produces a wonderfully artistic
effect.
If the selection of her evening
frock gives a girl many thrills of
pleasure-and every one knows it
does-she also derives a great deal of
enjoyment from her sports clothes.
Sports clothes, today, are wholly
charming. Such bright, gay colors as
are used for them can only reflect the
spirit Of joy and exuberance which
they embody. The enjoyment of
sports is really doubled by the lovely
clothes that are worn for them.
The skirts Of sports dresses and
suits are worn very short, and the
models are either plain or pleated.
With bright-colored skirts are worn
Fslip-on middys Of wool or silk Jersey
in a contrasting color. Hip-length
coats OF angora and fancy woods are
also frequently seen. The accepted
trimming for winter sports suits is
either fur or leather.
Scotch plaids and checks in bright
.colors are very much in evidence.
Some Of the latest suits are dark
green with fine yellow lines forming
the checks. Others are in solid block
effects in golden brown and black,
and other pretty color combinations.

VETS AND DRYS MIX UP IN
CONTEST FOR SPEAKERSHIP

for Levin were culled from what were
the cow pastures of st. Paul when
Psradis began editing the Midway
News. Ed Paradis knows his people
and on the day before election deliv-
cred this broadside: Mr.. Levin is no
theoretical, hypothetical, idealistic
auxiliary or subsidiary politician. Just
what Ed meant by this may be inferr-
ed from some of his previous state
ments about Mr.. Levin.
On May 9Th the Midway News con-
tanned this information: John I. Le-
vim was born in st. Paul; his father
and mother emigrated from Sweden
in 1880 and settled in St. Paul; he is
a graduate of the st. Paul College of
Law; married st. Paul girl, a
daughter of C. I. Johnson, founder
of the printers supply house of c. l.
johnson Mfg. Co.; he is now practic-
ing law in st. Paul; in 1909 he was
chosen by Hon. A. ]. Rockne, then
speaker of the House, as official re-
porter of the House and served
through that session; in 1911 he re-
ported the special investigation con-
Quoted by both House and Senate; in
1912 he was appointed on OF the OF
fetal reporters of the national house
of Representatives in washington:
He served as assistant press agent OF
the State Fair, and from time to time
has been identified with various city
and county committees, including the
fourth district congressional commit
tee and state central committee; ne
is interested in civic affairs, one OF
the organizers Of the North Contra!
COMMERCIAL Club, and member OF
the Commercial Club and Association
Of Commerce; while in washington ne
was appointed Commissioner OF the
u. S. Court Of Claims.
Just who will be the speaker OF the
next House is mystery. There
seems to be no lack Of candidates.
Parker, Christensen
Indrehus and dozen
others are receptive candidates. 1t Is
good fortune when the House chooses
q good speaker. Rockne was one OF
the best the House ever had. Today
merit is a secondary consideration.
The only question aske is: How dry
is he? or, How wet is he? The next
SPEAKER will either be very, very dry,
or very, very wet, and somewhere be-
tween these extremes the common
people will have an opportunity for a
moment to ask for a remedy
for the high cost of living and for
some consideration for the general
welfare of the state.

pleated with groups of large or small
pleats, or just simply gathered. To
define the waistline, leather belt, a
regulation cloth belt or long, mar
row girdle is considered correct with
this type of frock. The belt being such
an important factor, then, it is not
surprising to find many novelties in
that line. One of the latest is belt
which starts out being wide in front,
but finally becomes divided into two
narrow strips at the sides and back.
The upper halves fasten at the back

loosely and hang down the back. Ex-

5 SPECIAL LETTER FROM NEW
: YORK TO THE SAUK CEN. 1
TIRE HERALD 4

New York, Dec. II, 1916.
The time has long since passed
when fashions for misses were of sec
ondary Importance in the scheme of
things. The fashioning of clothes for
young people now receives as much
attention as those of their elders, and
certain French designers have, of late,
been specially concentrating their eff
forts on producing modes for young
girls and small children.
Whether for school, college or the
various social and outdoor activities
which enter into the lives of all young
people, we find an unlimited variety
Iof styles.
At present there is distinct rela-
ton between the styles for grown-ups
and those reaching grown-up stage.
The slim silhouette, to which women
have taken with so much zeal, is re-.
fected in misses styles, an, certain.
ly there is nothing more befitting the
slender grace Of youthful figures than
the modes which now prevail.
/. The One-Piece Dress Peculiarly
Adapted to Youth.
In one-piece style are the majority
of dresses, whether they are to be
slipped on over the head or closed at
the center-front or back. Especially
becoming are those that hang from I
deep, square. yoke, and Of these there
are many varieties, for below the yoke

were nosed out after hard fought

back to private life after years and
years OF service by means of stickers.
Spooner's defeat was encompassed
within week before election and was
sensational, but no less sensational
was the defeat of Representative John
b. Sanborn by John I. Levin, a young
attorney Of st. Paul, on his first en-
try as political candidate. Sanborn,

The Minnesota Game Protective
League drafted and adopted seven
teen bills to be presented at the
.917 session of the legislature, at

cense money shall only be appropri-
ated for game protection and propa-
cation.
A game breeders bill which I'M
der well defined regulations will en-
courage game breeding and allow the

bill of this kind can be made the
source of a great and new food sup
ply.
An appropriation of $4,000 for the
establishment of a state game farm
or farms and the maintenance of the
same for two years; under rcgula-
tions similar to those now governing
the state fish cultural stations or
hatcheries; and the creation of the
office of superintendent Of game, the
duties of which office would be sim
liar to those of the superintendent of
fisheries.
A payment Of bounties on certain
species of vermin or predatory spe-
cies which prey upon the game. Such

SITUATION LOOKS VERY OPTIMISTIC
While Affairs are in a Critical Condition, Most
of the Alarming Talk Comes From
Sinister Forces.

Borah and Sheppard OF Texas had
kilograms read from Douglas, Ariz..
citizens asking help in fear of a new
Mexican massacre and invasion there.
A stormy debate followed the read
ing Of the telegram and the introduc-
ton by Senator Lewis of resolution
proposing that any person who fur
nishes villa aid be declared traitor.
Referring to the telegram presented
by Borah, Stone said:
1T would have been better II all
such comment should have been deltv-
cred to the war department.. l con-
fes myself unable to understand any
senator's desire at this crucial point
to present such matters and thereby
give them official dignity"

Borah might have acted with greater
| propriety.'

with the idea that he is running for
president" continued Stone. ironfcal-
ly, "he ought to act uninfluenced by
one delusion in exploiting another de-
lusion.
"Of course a senator may do as he
pleases. He may offer anything he
wishes; Just what public good is ac-
complished, surpasses intelligent un-
derstanding."
Replying to Stones criticism of his
resolution to call for fifty thousand
volunteers, Senator Sherman asked
for stones own opinion.
II get my information from the
president and others upon whom we
must rely" Stone retorted. "1f needed,
they would not hesitate to inform the
congress-"
my offer was to tender friendly
help to the administration If 1t IS
needed" said Sherman.
Turning to the republicans, stone
said:
"Jf you wish to encourage the ad-
ministration to haVy war with MeXi-
CO. have the courage to say so, IKE
men-do It openly and boldly, II that
is what you want; don't do it surrep-

Stone declared Sherman's resolu-

waging war on Others than Villa.
sherman hotly denied this and
pointed to the terms of his resolution.
"Oh, 7 didn't expect the senator to
express terms, to admit such mo-
tive" said Stone.
CIapp criticised Stone for being TOO
prone to assign political motives to
the republicans: He declared all sena-
tors were acting patriotically, lnclud-
ing Sherman.
