of our ultra-fashionable, venus-like
damsels are advocating that ladies

of further conserving dress goods.
Others, not so fortunate, vociferously
object, but we say, Kilties. -. Mr.. and

We are not surprised to learn of the
good fortune coming to Miss Carlotta
V. Ford at Washington, d. c. The
writer can recall the occasion when
Miss Ford, always popular and attra-
ctive, put her number two-and-a-half
foot down, figuratively speaking; cut
the social knot, and with a firm hold
upon herself, determined Upon a def
mite aim in life. She had passed out
of high school, took up domestic
science at the Montana University
and taught music to app%reciative pu-
pills in Helena. Not until she had
finished a course in the Helena Bust
ness College as stenographer and
typist, did she visualize her proper
setting on life's great stage. Studious
at all times, she %redoubled her eff
forts when the vista of future posi-
bilities in this new work opened their
welcoming arms to her. She passed
a more than creditable examination
and was appointed to a position in the
Construction Division of the Wa De-
partment. Last month she was pro-
NOTED with an increase of salary. She
also made the necessary rating for
teachers in Dunbar High School and
is teaching st~enography and typewrit-
ing three nights each week in that ex-
cellent institution. Always gentle,
patient and persevering, she enters
upon her new duties in Dunbar High
with a personality that assures her
success. Mrs. Laura Syndey of
Townsend spent Christmas in the city
as the house guest of Mrs. J.. w.
Crump. Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Glenn
entertained Mrs. Robert Brown, Miss
Katie Brown and Master Leonard
Brown, at dinner, Christmas day..
Mrs. Pearl Rodgers gathered around
her about twenty friends, on the 18th,
at the residence of her mother, Mrs.
Alice Palmer, on Ralph st. After dan
cling far into the wee small hours, re-
freshments were served and the
guests were loud in their praises over
an enjoyable evening. Mr.. and Mrs.
J.. E. w. Clarke invited as their din
ner guests for Christmas, Mr.. and
Mrs. A. G. Dorsey, Mrs. Sarah Morris
and Mrs. Jefferson Harrison. mo
