Ivory, Amber, Tortoise Shell Articles Are Decorated With Hand-
 Painted Designs.

Ever since fair woman gaZed at her reflection in the first crude mirror she has shown a decided interest in arti- cles of the toilet.
 We are told that the alluring Cleo patra, surrounded by her attendants, spent many an hour accenting her charms, while the grande danes and even the gaIlants of royal France made use of rouge, pomades, powders and perfumes.
 Today the toilet sets which are of fered for my lady's use are attractive in the extreme. Of ivory, amber and tortoise shell, they are hand carved and decorated with hand-paintrd de- signs. A set in ivory has d silver and forget-me-not design, while an- other is decorated with wild roses and gold.

Keep Windows of Your Soul
 Clean; Cease CompIainingS

If the windows of your soul are dirty and streaked, covered with matter for eign to them. then the world as you look out of them will be to you dirty and streaked and out of order. Cease your cOmpIainings, however; keep your pessimism, your poor unfortunate me to yourself lest you betray the fact that your windows are badly in need of something. But know that your friend who keeps his windows clean, that the Eternal Sun may illumine all within and make visible all without know that he lives in different world from yours.-Ralph Waldo Trine.

Leave Record of Existence
 On EVer-Enduring Spirit

It is then obvious that if we desire to live worthily, if we wish to fulfill the great purposes for which we were created, we must leave the record of our existence inscribed on the ever-en- during spirit. The impression there can never be effaced. Time, which obliterates nations and the record of their existence, only renders the linea- ments which we trace on mind deeper and more legible. From the very prin- ciples of our social nature. moral and intellectual character multiplies fn- definitely it's own likeness.

 does not sound interesting, it looks well.
 The draped beret still continues to be tremendously popular with all Paris milliners. It is almost entirely with out trimming, but the crown is so beau- tifully draped that no trimming is needed. The head band is usually folded to form a clothlike brim; some times it is made to appear like visor. These hats are usually of black velvet or silk, although metal cloth is used for some elaborate ones. The dark ones embroidered in metal threads are very smart. These latter, however, are so expensive that one feels it an ez- travagance to buy them. Yet any woEe an at all gifted in draping a fabric could easily make one herself. The en- brOidery is nothing more than run ming stitch done in fine gold or silver thread.
 While some of the Paris milliners strongly advocate the veil-trimmed hat, others do not show the veil at all. Veils have always been favorite trim mings in the hands of Maria Guy with them she achieves beautiful effects. Recently she developed an oriental turban from a huge tulle scarf printed in two colOrs, one end of the scarf forming the turban, while the other end draped around the neck or over the shoulders.

LUMBERME'NS
PROTECTIVE LEAGUE
is DISBANDED

According to newspaper reports
the Lumbermen's Protective League
has decided to disband and turn its
treasury over to the Red Cross. This
organization was formed during the
summer of 1917 to fight the grant
ing Of the eight-hour day and other
Improvements in working conditions
demanded by the workers through
The strike called by the timberwork-
ers. Members Of the League were
lied down by an iron clad agree
ment so that when many Of them
saw the justice of the mems demands
they were unable to grant them but
were forced to continue the strike
regardless Of consequences.
The report in the P.-L says that
the reason for disbanding the Pro-
tective League is that the Loyal
Legion of Loggers and Lumbermen
will complete the work which the
league has started, and that there
is, therefore, no longer a need for
its existence" Which just about
bears out the contentious of the
unionists as to the reason for the
existence of the 4Ls in peace times.
That such is the object of main
tanning the Ais is shown by the re-
ported speech of Gen. Disque in Ia
coma where he advises the lumber
men that they must support the or
ganization of the Ais and not allow
the organization to die or the work
ers will form their own unions which
the bosses may find harder to deal
with than with one they control

We are at the threshold a New
Year. Since the war drums were
first sounded for America, great
changes for Labor have taken place.
Royal autocracy has been over
thrown and the prospects seem
bright for the universal establish
ment of democracy with all that it
implies. Labor in America has
achieved an exalted position in the
councils of the Nation, and will, if
alert to its own interest, never again
be relegated to a subordinate posi-
ton, but will demand just treat
ment and receive it. Let every
unionist here and now, at the be-
ginning of the year, firmly resolve
80 advance the cause of industrial
freedom and to help organize the
tmorganized, to the end that indus
trial autocracies-like the timber in
dustry, the steel industry, portions
Of the coal industry, and other black
spots on industrial Ameriac-may
be reduced to the service Of the
people rather than continue their
present overlordship of humanity.

wishes for happy New Year,

SHORT ATTENDS
OREGON LABOR
CONVENTION
Will Tell Unionists of Washington
Movement for TimberwOrkers

(From Tuesdays Seattle Union
Recordo
William Short, President of the
Washington State Federation of
Labor, left Seattle for Portland,
Monday night. where he will at
tend, as fraternal delegate, the
convention of the Oregon State Fed
Grafton of Labor, which opened there
Monday morning. His mission will
be chiefly relative to the reorganiza-
ton campaign now being conducted
by the labor federation Of this state
IN the timber industry, and the Ore
gon Federation will be asked to Co
operate in sweeping campaign to
combat the Loyal Legion of Loggers
and Lumbermen, an employer-con-
trolled, paternalistic organization
carried over into peace times after
having been forced on the workers
by the military in war times.
Short will also speak before the
Oregon Federation ON the general
subject Of reconstruction, presenting
for the approval of that convention
the reconstruction program recently
adopted by a special convention Of
the Washington State Federation
After devoting large share of
his time during the past few weeks
to the problem Of reorganizing the
timberworkers under the banner of
the international Union Of Timber
workers, Short said on the eve of
his departure for Portland that the
membership in that organization has
doubled throughout the state since
the armistice was declared. Last
Friday night at rally of timber
workers in Tacoma, he said, about
700 men attended. A Loyal Legion
representative failed to put in an
appearance for a debate with the
representatives of the bona fide
union, and IS "wobbies," thwarted
in their attempt TO stampede the
meeting to the l. w. w standard,
left the hall.
Harry Call, of Bellingham, for
mer first vice-president Of the State
Federation, has recently been dis
charged as soldier in the spruce
production division and is now per
manently engaged by the Interna-
tional Union of Timberworkers as
an organizer. Both Short and Call
declare that the reorganization of
the workers in the lumber industry
is the largest single task facing
the labor movement Of the North
west at the present time. The en-
ployers are bolstering up the Loyal
Legion, which is controlled by them
selves, in vain attempt to stall off
the inevitable organization Of the
workers into real union which will
have goodly punch in either hand
and viii gain real betterments for
the loggers and lumber workers of
the Northwest.
