below the chin. Women of all ages
have recognized it. and men in differ

there are to be many soft things in

for their different houses.
Furs and laces go together. and, with
the deep fur collars that are to be

used are many and varied. There are
fine mulls and lawns, silk nets and
nets Of other kinds. fine nets and those
with a coarser mesh, nets with small
over patterns and nets with lace bor-
ders made in single and double frills
and falling straight or with drop cor

agree with the many pointed effects
that are seen on gowns and coats and
wraps. Georgette Grape is also much
used.
Silk and satins will be combined
with the softer materials. \The smart
black stock will appear with its fall
of cream lace and possibly little
white above to soften the effect near
the face. There are few wires nee
essary to hold the stock in place. but
the general effect is of the softest.
Deep collars of all kinds are among
the things the shops are displaying,

smaller ones for the woman who can
not wear q broad collar. They, like the
stocks. are of all the thin. washable

JUNIORS CHAMPS J.
IN BASKETBALL
Fridays Game Results in Defeat
for First Year ClaSS-Blues
Win Girls Game
(School Correspondent

In a very spirited and close game
Friday evening, which ended 1912
in favor of the Freshmen, the first
half and 36-29 in favor of the Juniors
the second half, the Juniors succeed
ing in securing the high school bas-
ketball championship. The teams are
as follows: Juniors, McAuley, Ander-
son, Christensen, Kratzer, Lincoln,
Kinkaid; Freshmen, Carpenter, Smith,
Dague, Odell, Johnson, Dague. The
girls game between the whites, cap
tain, Ruth Odell and the blues, cap
tain Audrey Graham, was won by the
Blues with a score of IL to 6.
Joe Smith, a Seattle newspaper
man, talked to the high school last
Thursday. He said he would endea-
vor to talk on success. These lectures,
he had observed, were given by those
who had not succeeded. Success is
an obscure trail which must be blazed
anew by every traveller. The great
men did not follow the. example of
someone else. He said one is often
told not to hear, see or speak about
evil, but the person who does this is
either blind, deaf, or coward. He
ended his talk by giving a humorous
reading.
Because of the many cases Of the
measles in town the order has gone
out that no person having measles in
his home may attend school. For this
reason many Of the high school pu-
pills, who have measles in their homes,
are staying away from home. ~"

The Sweetest Face of All

There are faces framed in gold
That fill my heart with fire,
Sweethearts in the days of old,
When love was life's desire.
But the sweetest face I know
Is crowned with silver hair.
My mothers face with tender glow
In mem'ry's gall'ry there.
There are eyes that thrill my heart,
With pasicn's flaming call,
And lips that lift me to the stars,
When love is all in all.
But the tender light that lives,
In my mothers failing eyes,
Is the only light that gives
A peace that never dies. ".~--~ -

Cassidy--Citizen Again!

In pardoning "Curly joe Cassidy, thus
restoring to him his citizenship, Governor
Whitman has been more generous more
charitable, than most persons would be
inclined TO be under the circumstances.
Indeed. he has been more generous to this
politician than many persons will think
he ought to have been. Cassidy was con
victed. and served a prison sentence, for
selling a nomination TO the Supreme Court
"a crime IS vicious in its assault on the
fundamentals of government and law as
can be imagined. Cassidy was no ignorant,
msed victim Of circumstances. This
booder was man Of intelligence, OF
long political experience; in his way
leader in his community. His crime was
therefore. the more despicable and he'll
nous. the more reprehensible in its revela-
ton Of utter depravity, Of thorough
going cynicism.
If some poor, ignorant ward heller,
obeying the orders of boss, had lost his
citizenship for ballot-boX stuifng, there
might be certain justice in restoring
him to citizenship after he had shown the
capacity to go straight. Cassidy was no
bodys victim. He planned and committed
his crime for the most sordid of reasons
he wanted the money he could get by
betraying the electorate. He may have
repented-it is to be hoped he has. But
there is grave reason to question the
wisdom and justice Of restoring the high
right of citizenship TO any individual who
so befoulcd it.
