School Notes.

 The free school of the first eight grades of the Green Forest school closed Friday with program given by the pupils.
 The exercises were held in the assemb ly hall of the school building. Curtai ms were improvised and seats were kindly loaned by the Christian church.
 Thelprogram consisted of drills. reel tations, dialogues, songs and drami- tizations by the little folks. All per formed their parts well. One of the dramtizations was seriously hinde red by absentees but those present did their best, notwithstanding.
 A good attendance greeted the pupils and the audience showed throughout kindly patience and appreciation. It would be invidious to distinguish between the performers.
 At the close of the exercises Presi- dent Tabor of the School Board spoke briefly reviewing the years work and urging patrons to attend the coming school meeting

In the newest Of the decorations there
is just that hint of the primitive design
that stamps it truly American for the
primitive design always means sim
plicity and the simple designs always
are effective.
If we may judge by the early ex-
hibits, the season is to be one Of con-
siderable variety. For long time it
has been realized that the leading
French designers each has its clientele.
What the house of Lanvin puts forth
may be quite different from that of
the house of Cabot but both will be
smart and each will be chosen by the
women who like it best and to whom
it is best adapted. This season, We
hear that the house Of Cheruit suits
are eight inches from the ground.
Many Of those shown by Collot are
even shorter than that, while. on the
other hand, Lanvin declares for ankle
length. Coats and suits vary from
wrist to three-quarter and there are
bclted models and there are tailored
models and there are all sorts of beau
tiful materials shown. But however
much there may be variety, however
much ingenuity may be at work.
there is prevailing simplicity in fun
damental cut. Garments are elabo-
rated with the most beautiful kind Of
hand work and there are marvellous
embroideries used. Richness is
applied, 50 to speak. in a variety Of
ways, but the all overpowering idea
that seems to conserve the entire
world today is for simple cut. How
far it has to do with the need Of the
moment and the world wide struggle
it would be difficult to decide, But the
fact remains and it is an interesting
one. Often one will see the same
model applied FIRST to simple serge
and later to handsome velvet.

is being shown for the first time and
is exceedingly rich in effect. A notable
use is found in a long, loose evening
wrap, the model for which was sug
gested by Koryak which is exhibited
in the Museum Of Natural History.
Really, it is very loose garment with
the sleeves that we know as Japanese
and a monk-like hood with a big
enough opening at the neck to allow
of slipping on over the head. 1t takes
the graceful lines that such simple
garments always take and the velvet
is exceedingly handsome because it is
shown to rare advantage, while this
unusual decoration makes wide

Since the war broke out the Paris
designers have been more or less
crippled AMI there has been an effort
made on this side of the sea to develop
finer. more artistic work than pre-
viously was the case. Hand decora-

speciality of the best French Coutur-
iers. 1t is wisely felt by the best
makers on this side Of the sea that
unless We employ genuine artists to
create special decorations for special
garments We cannot hope to compete
with them. Undoubtedly. We have
a great deal Of native talent. 1t needs
only to be cultivated and to find an
outlet. These decorated velvcts make

there are a number OF suits with

economy consists in care as to value

merely in the cutting down in the
amount expended. The gown that is
made in the early season Of good

about the various demands of service
will find such an especial value. al

velvets and of satin they are adapted

For the highest authority as to the
far-eastern view of the matter, and
without regard to how much or how
little they may know about it, it may
not be amiss to read the following
from the New York Nation:
1T was not a threat that Dr. Iyen-
aga uttered when he declared that
there is danger to our friendly rela-
tons with Japan in the favorite Pa
cific Coast game of worrying alien
landowners which means, of course,
Japanese landowners. 1t is a fact of
which people of sense and justice have
always been aware. What makes the
behavior of Idaho and Oregon all the
more inexcusable is the absence OF
provocation. If ever there was a Jap
anese peril" it has been removed by
the unwritten agreement between the
two countries under which japanese
immigration has ceased. White civil
ization on the Pacific Coast is not in
danger of engulfment."

THE HOURS NEED-AND DUTY.

AS the time approaches for the cleo

or less (far too little) attention is
being directed toward possible candi-
dates-especially for the offices of
mayor and councilmen.
Under existing circumstances, how
ever, one can but be surprised at the

a time in the history of Twin Falls
