WHEN MONTANA WENT DRY

/ Statewide prohibition went into eff
feet in Montana at midnight of De-
cember 81. With the passing Of the
saloon there disappears one of the
picturesque institutions of the west.
AT one time the saloon was an i'm
pOrtant feature in the social life of
the hardy pioneers of the Treasure
state.
In the early days when men were
blazing the western trails the saloon
followed them and, as a rule, was
among the first industries to set up
and transact business in the commun-
ity. With a canvas for top and a
board bridging two boxes for a bar,
hospitality at so much drink was
dispensed TO the argonauts.
AS communities prospered the
owner OF the saloon or half way
house." waxed prosperous in proper
ton. The barkeeper's was siren
uous life, for those who sought the
cheer he dispensed included miners,
cowboys, Indian fighters. cattlemen,
sheepmen, the renegade and the ne'er

not were the arbiter of disputes. The
barkeepers armament lay on the bar
within handy reach and in full sight

within which he must confine his cell

Cowpunchers. after months on the
prairies looking after cattle, free of
restraint and their pockets full of
money rode into town scarcely dis
cernable in cloud of dust, punctuat-
ed with the flash of fire and report of
revolvers. Like tornado they
swirled up to the front of the saloon,
refined their ponies back on their
launches and sometimes rode In thru
the swinging doors Those were
profitable days for the barkeeper but
he must needs be diplomat if his
place remained intact.
Hard on the heels of the saloon
came the gambler with the tools of
his trade. Then followed the dance
hall adjunct, which brought with it
the orchestra" such as 1t was, or
the automatic musical machines. All
were part and parcel Of the saloon.
Some of the modern saloons in the
states larger cities were elaborate
in their fixtures, furniture and deco
rations. Until few years ago
Butte had buffet whose entire floor
was inlaid with imitation dollar
coins, entirely natural in appearance.

thousand at the present time. A
large percentage of the saloons will
continue in business, either with soft

No Fur, Fringe,
Braid on Suits

New York.-Twice year the little
gyration of public opinion takes place
around tailored suits, writes leading
fashion correspondent. There is
rapid swirl around a new center, and
1t sweeps over two continents. Twice
a year women regard the tailored suit
as the most important problem to be
solved. A new one for autumn and a
new one for spring is the necessity of
the rich and the extravaganza of the
merely well-to-do. The glamor of one
piece frocks, heaped with fur or COW
cred with smart topcoats, dies out. In
autumn and spring we approach days
when wraps are burdensome and the
one-piece frock, unprotected, is chilly.
We need the American costume that
was invented to serve our necessity.
In January we begin to face the win
ter, and yet, with our usual capricious-
ness, we face the fact of choosing a
new tailored suit. Even if we do not
buy 1t, we talk about it. We like to
speculate upon its possibilities. We
show exceeding interest in the new
fabrics that are advanced for it and
the colors that the season will pro-
claim. Shirtwaists and various types
of blouses engage our attention. The
length of coats, the narrowness of
skirts, the warmth of.velours, the serv-
iceability of taffeta, the probabilities
of satin remaining in fashion, are

Is overdone, fringe has become COM
monplacc, and neither will be returned
to the spring fashions, as far as the
prophets can see.
Angora embroidery vanished with
the war. Bias bands are good, and
one of the best suits worn by one who
prides herself on leading the way, has
three bias folds, doubled and stitched
at the upper edge. These ornament
the hem.
Any woman would care to know the
details of this suit because of its pres
tige at the moment. 1t is Of rough
cheviot in a mixed, golden brown that
reminds one of the heather mixtures,
only the touch of green is absent.
There is the straight skirt with its
double bias folds at the hem, and the
coat that ripples bit from shoulders
to hips. There are bias folds faring
away from the surface of the coat, at
the hem and the wrists. The sleeves
are cut straight, neither yielding to
the inclination. to be Spanish with a
bell-shaped opening at the wrist, or
skintight, after the medieval manner.
There is a wide, rolling collar that
ends at the bust, and the fastening is
unique; it consists of four long, wide
tabs of the cloth, stitched at the edges,
pointed at one end, with a long,
stitched buttonhole. These button
| holes go over large buttons covered

LOW HEEL AND A LONG TOE
Proper Shoe for Street Wear With
Tailored costume-FormaI Foot
wear Slightly More Dainty.

One of the conspicuous frivolities of
feminine dress that the stern wartime
spirit is helping to Danish is the ex-
treme Louis Quinze heel. These tall,
curved heels are worn on slippers and
on formal footwear of dainty, dress
up character; but street shoes have al
most invariably sturdy, sensible heels
in the military or so-called college
style.
The college heel is very low and fiat
like the mannish. heel-and when
the rest of the shoe is smart the fiat
heel is very smart; but fiat heel on
a poorly shaped shoe makes the foot
clumsy. Most women prefer the mill
tnry heel, which is something like the
old-style Cuban heel except that it is
Tot quite as heavy, in outline or in
actual weight.
The proper shoe for street wear with
tailored costumes Is of mahogany tan
or black Russia calf with the new low
heel aod long toe. attractively

with the material. The stitched tabs
run well across the figure, but the
fronts of the coat swing open just a
bit as the wearer moves, to show
mandarin yellow crepe de chine blouse.
Coat Innings Attract Attention.
The dominant factor in tailored
suits is the lining. 1t dominates the
coat. It is intended to create more at
tention than the outer surface. Its
coloration is vivid, and now and then
it displays the animated designs of the
tapestries of the middle ages. Animals
rove over its surface. Human figures
are engaged in human activities.
Hunting scenes, pastoral scenes, gay
little bits of street life, are put on the
surface of your coat lining, and If you
are clever, you see to it that the pub
lie is instantly made aware of the
novelty.
The pity of it is that one does not
| take off the coat in public. That
fashion went out of existence long be-
fore the war dominated the world. It
has not been reversed. Women keep
on their jackets until they take off
their>skirts. And yet, with this fash
ion an accomplished fact, the design
ers by the usage of pictorial Innings,
are stimulating women to put their
coats over the backs of chairs when
ever possible. Why pay a large price
for a piece of satin tapestry if you
cannot show it?
The average womanS however, does
not accept these animated designs, al
though she is quite willing to accept
the verdict for vivid coloration.

The dressmakers do good propa-

Moderate Skirts In Street Suits.
Now, here are the essentials to pro-

in length and width in the new things
that are exploited. They do not sweep
the ankles; they do not curve in at
the back Of the knees; they have little
resemblance to the lower part Of a

There is no return to a flare at the
hem of the skirt. Nothing ripples
But If the skirt is not permitted to
curve out, neither is it permitted to
culve in. Remember that. for it is an
essential step toward grace.
There is an entire absence of fur or
the suits. This is appropriate for the
season, but it is significant of the fash
ions Of the present hour, for many
women buy suits in January that are
intended to serve them through the
cold weather yet to come. They mus

fear Of failure. Nothing Is so confus-

they are all one in truth and SUBJ
