A Season of Contrasts.

Very long blouses that really form
tunics are handsome and are generally
becoming, and are to make feature
of the Mid-winter afternoon dress.
A most attractive one met at hotel
tea is of soft grey velvet over a skirt
of pale blue crepe de chine, the skirt
being plated. A grey ninon was made
much on the lines of heightened
MILDLY blouse, finished around the
lower edge with stenciling in a Greek
design of red and blue and narrow
stenciling finishing the round neck
line. 1t was worn over a satin foun-
dation of the same shade and just the
little bit of bright color in the stem
Cling gave the only relief.

there is not one that is in any way
difficult or elaborate. Coat suits seem

HESE are chic models designed
especially to be worn at the
Southern resorts. As matter of
course they forecast the coming of the
Spring fashions. What the fortunate
few wear in the South during the
Winter, the majority of womankind
will wear all over the country when
Summer is at its height. For the
younger contingent there is notable

Rare Old Laces are Revived.

Afternoon functions are many at
this season and afternoon dress has
taken on some very interesting fea-
lures. Lace is scarce, also are other
trimmings. Paris has solved the
problem by making simple gowns and
wearing with them laces that have
been lying away in the family treasure
house, fichues and collars and what
not to relieve the simplicity. At
notable function of the week was seen
a straight chemise dress, simple as
could be, of violet panne velvet with
beautiful lace at the neck and sleeves
the only trimming. Heavy lace is
being used for waistcoats with the
bolero gowns and fancy coats. That
it is old lace only adds to its beauty
and charm and the hint may be worth
reading to women who have treasures
hidden away. Oriental embroideries
continue all their vogue. For the
waistcoats already mentioned, the
rich Chinese embroideries are much
liked and are exceedingly handsome.

Only the Modified Barrel Skirts
are Likely to Succeed.

We hear great deal of talk about
the barrel skirt, but very few real
barrel skirts have been seen at all.
By some strange perversion Of terms,
a great many of the fashion writers
and designers both are talking of the
skirt that is draped over the hips as
the barrel skirt. Really that wonder
full creation is distended by means
Of hoops and is drawn in again at the
ankles, otherwise it does not deserve
its name. 1t is not a pretty line, it is
not a becoming line and it is hardly
likely to succeed, on this side of the
sea at least. American women are
justly proud of their figures. They
have been willing to sacrifice good
deal to keep the ideal lines, and they
will not conceal it by any such ugly
garment as the barrel skirt.

CHALMERS MOTOR
A WONDERFUL ONE
SAYS JOE DAWSON
Twenty-four Hour Test on
the Sheepshead Speedway
Proves Efficiency of the
Engine, Says Driver.

The Cha1me-5 performance was a
wonderful one" said Joe Dawson i'm
mediately after he had finished the "a
hour test. ut seems almost impossible
to believe that car of only 224 inches
piston displacement could set such q
great record-not only that, but could
go through with absolutely no mechan-
zeal mishap. Driving on the Sleeps
head Bay Speedway is, perhaps, a Sc
verer test on a car than the Indian
apolis Speedway, with which am so
familiar. / had never driven on the
Sheepshead Bay Speedway UP to this
time, but I have driven on the Indiana
track for seven or eight years. The
Indianapolis track is trifle easier
sible to hold a car without opening up
on the turns. A seconds shut off get
ting into the turns at INDIANAPOLIS
gives the motor chance to cool off
and rest up, but the Chalmers had no
such opportunity as this at Sleeps
head.
I'VE were out to get a record set
by O. car of Ga cubic inches greater pis-
ton displacement, and we decided to
run the car almost to It's maximum
for the entire distance. We could not
take chance in giving the car a
breathing space. She had to have STAN

record.
Personally I have great regard

SPEED WAS GREAT.

Considerable speculation has been
INDUCED in regarding the highest speed
made by the Chalmers in breaking the
24-hour stock chassis record. The
electrical timing device got Dawson a
lap in one minute and 23 seconds. an
average Of s6A miles an hour. He did
great many laps in one minute and
"a seconds, and on this basis it is fig
ured that his time on the straightaways

hour at times. Figures on the gear
ratio and other details are interesting.
The car used was a Speedster chassis,
and the gear, three to one, is the stand

mers speedster.

about 800 pounds of trout, although
the big ones were not taking the fly
as readily as at the same time during
former years, due to the large volume
OF water in the river this year. The
party also enjoyed wild ducks and
plenty OF fresh mushrooms gathered
on the Sulphur bar ranch.
GAVE GUESTS A THRILL
The invited guests. some Of whom
are real sportsmen and travel to the
most. favored spots in America and
Canada on summer outing trips, were
unanimous in pronouncing this trip
up and down the South fork as the
best they had ever taken by far. They
claim eastern Idaho possesses some
OF the grandest scenery and finest
outing country to be found anywhere
and the party appreciated the OPP
portunity to take this trip. They
were also much impressed with the
wonderful richness of our country
and the evident prosperity shown on
all sides. and they congratulated the
people who inhabit this wonderful
valley. This means much, coming
from California boosters who make

advertising and building up their
famous state. The trip passed off
without q mishap Notwithstanding
the spring high water had caused
the river to change it's channel in
many places, due to the skill of Mr.
Coucher, who safely brought the raft
to the journeys end. He gave the
passengers many thrill and fully
satisfied their desire for excitement.
The visitors were particularly i'm
pressed with the fine native or
cut-throat trout that abound in the
waters of Snake River. They claim
this specie exists nowhere else in
such quantities and size. Extra large
fish could be seen in the bottom of
the river swimming around as the raft
proceeded on its way, on account of
the water being very clear"

-Before leaving they planned to arrive

Rigby and surrounding country were
there to meet the party and see the
raft go over the dam.
MOVIE ON JOB.
The party left Rigby September
.. at a. m. in four automobiles and
truck which took their baggage, food,
etc. and arrived at Sulphur bar about
p. m. The moving picture men took
scene of the cars and truck starting
out from Rigby. A panoramic view

on Edwards ferry in Grand valley.
During the stay the movie man took
q trip upon the mountains on the south
side of Grand valley and took pan

and the river. He also secured
beautiful moving picture of a flock of
. sheep high up on Elk mountain at the
head of Bear creek.
The party camped at Sulphur bar
and put their raft in just above this.

to be duplicated by any other musici-
ans Of Honolulu. for 1t is a program
difficult Of achievement except where
two pianos are habitually available
and performers are constantly to-
getber. II is partly for this reason
that concerted piano work is seldom
heard and partly because so little
music is actually written for the two
instruments.
Many arrangements are available
for four or eight hands but composers
themselves have made little use OF
the possibilities until quite recently.
The modernists, however. are rapidly
publishing suites and other collections
