observes the Spokane Spokesman Re-

The arrival of the age Of steam, cleo

by a change, not for the better, in the
popular style of speaking and writing.

STILL FAITHFUL TO STUARTS7
Pretender Of that Line to Britain's
Throne Is Now Prince Rupert
of Bavaria.

There was once to be found in Brit
ain a little group of romantic senti-
mentalists who remained faithful to
the Stuart line, and celebrated on jan
uary 30 a kind Of Jacobite feast day.
A writer In Living Age remembers
seeing postage stamps bearing the like
ness Of the "%pretender," who happened
to be a princess of Bavaria. These
were attached to the envelope by the
side of the official postage stamp, thus
constituting a source Of annoyance to
the serious minded Victoria.
Since the death of his mother, Maria
Theresa of Bavaria, a few weeks ago
ex-Prince Rupert Of Bavaria Is now
the official Stuart pretender to the
throne Of Great Britain. The muse OF
history has ever had a leaning toward
irony.

Substitute for Furs.

The. reported decision of clothing
manufacturers, particularly speciality
houses, of going mor into leather-lined
or convertible overcoats for next fall

goods representative the suggestion
that leather be substituted in some
cases for fur trimmings has met with
quite a little response. The price con

though there is a difference in favor
Of the use Of leather, but the novelty
of leather trimmings Is expected to be

Dress hats for midsummer, as COM
pared to other millinery, are as orchids
compared to other lovely blossoms.
These millinery blooms are the most
fragile, most splendid Of all, the fairest
and the shortest lived. They are mid
summer interpreted in hats by de-
signers whose fancies are unhampered
by thoughts Of anything but beauty.
They look to the sheerest fabrics ana
to the most beautiful colors to trans
late their thoughts into millinery.
In the group of three hats made for
the heart Of summer, two are Of print

If you would forget that there is
anything in the world but joy, spend a
little time looking at the party frocks
In which the summer girl will dance
some hours away. If these dance
frocks fourished in the daytime, bees
and butterflies might pursue them, for
Ehey certainly borrow from flowers
their color and piquancy and sunshine
glimmers In their brocades and en-
broideries. Evening gowns indulge in
sumptuous materials, in gold and sill
yer tissue, In rich embroideries and
twinkling sequins and all kinds OF
shimmering things-including the new
shot taffetas. Finally they turn to
tulle and laces or sheer crepe. A world
Of fine and fragile fabrics belongs to
them.
The two pretty party frocks shown
here are of the simpler designs, one
Of them in white and the other In
black with embroidery and brocade
sash In metal and colored brocade. The
white frock has a slim underslip OF
embroidered satin, draped about the
ankles and full draperies of fine net
ending in points about the bottom,
hang over it. A vestee Of twinkline
sequins fills the V-shaped opening Of
the bodice-the net makes a flmy
drapery that falls from the shoulder
For a lovely finishing touch a narrow
ribbon hangs in loops and ends from
the girdle.

Freedom Of the Press.

The Constitution of the U. S., as

Jerry Muskrat watched Billy Mink
ana Little Joe Otter start on their
Journeys. Billy was going to a dis
tant brook. Little Joe was going to
the Big River. Both intended to stray
away until they were sure the trap
per- VINO had begun to make trouble
along the Laughing Brook, would be
so discouraged that he would take
up his traps.
When Jerry had said good bye to
Billy Mink and Joe Otter there had
been something of wistfulness in his
SGueaky voice. The fact is, Jerry
would have loved to go visiting also.
But he knew that it was quite out
of the question. In the. first place
he is 4 SLOW traveller on land, and he
felt that on land he would be in even
more danger than if he stayed at
home, despite those dreadful traps.
Then, again. winter would soon come
and he must be prepared for 1t II
he would live through it. Billy Mink
and Little joe Otter do not have to
prepare for winter. but Jerry does.
So Jerry sat on the top of his house
and watched Billy Mink and Little
Joe Otter out of sight. Then he sigh
ed. Then he sighed again. Il sup

which the prunes have been cooked

The material used for the dress was
red and black checked gingham.
Touches of black braiding were used
as trimming.
Cotton materials, such as gingham
and rep. that are used in generous
quantity in the development of chill
dren's dresses are very high in price

made at home or purchased ready to
wear in the shops, will cost three or
four times as much as it would a few
seasons ago.
Short sleeves are shown in nearly
all the spring and summer dresses,

tractive trimming touch is the use of
tailored points or scallopS on the
many ruffies used. both on skirts and
sleeves of the frocks.
The popularity of velvet is the real
feature of midwinter apparel for
young girls and children. Another
feature is the tendency to follow in
