From A Visitors Standpoint

On behalf of the visitors from the
Great Uintah Basin. II is my pleasure
to thank our Mccker ncighbOrs for their
hospitabIc reception. for the baseball
game. mass meeting and dance accorded
ny. 1t gives me pleasure In extending
to the people n whole hearted return
invitation.
However one thing occurred during
our visit here which we resent deeply.
One of your Leading hotels. The Miller
Ute members OF our baseball team.
They promisd the room but withdrew
the privilege when the indians appear
ed for the night.
The Hfty-siX visitors from Utah do
not wish to consider this action az re-
preventative of Mcckcr folks. We
would rather think that these hotel
people are ignorant OF the real facts In
the case.
Milton LaRosc Henry Harris and
Weldon Burson are Americans Of the
first water. There Is not one Of our
party who did not volunteer their room
for the Utcs. Two Of the Ute Indians
are college graduates while the third
holds IL high school diploma. The father
of Henry Harris is leading indian of
the Ute Tribe OF over 1900 members He
is president Of the Ute Fair held at Fort
Duschcne yearly.
The Ute Indians feel bad over the
affair and LaRose who IL captain OF
the Fort Duchesnc baseball team has
notified the Meekerites that their invi-
tation to play ball and to stage n war
dance. during the fair will not he ac-
ccpted. 1t Is up to the people Of Meekcr
to make amends to three of the finest
citizens of the entire west.

The problem of making a chemise

Lanvln In a most delightful manner
The FIRST touch OF distinction comes from
the cutout pattern, which appears upon
the front and back of the gown and
which is repeated on the sleeves, This
cutout work reveals the presence Of
light blue duvetyn contrasted with the
navy duvetyn Of the costume. The Sec
ond accent Of distinction Is struck by the
high collar of white organdy pulled
through the duvetyn collar TO form a
jaunty little bow In the back. A bright
little thought, this latter, and one whicn
illustrates the possibilities for distinc-
tion in the most minute difference OF

are of white organdy.
