But hidden away In the corners Of
shops and studios; there are more and
more lovely things waiting for what
are known technically as 1.-THE exclu-
sive." They are not too different from
the styles of last year, observes FASH
lon writer In the New York Times. but
they are sufficiently changed to have
an unmistakable newness of thrill
about them.
The discussion and the game of short
skirts versus long ones goes merrily
on. No one can tell exactly what
lengths they are going to be. or are,
for that matter. At one fashion show
ing you will see skirts that cover the
ankles and at the next you will see
them rising to the knees. The whole
performance leaves you with a sense

AS in nearly all suits the skirt is
straight and plain in this model. AS

American women do not take kindly
to longer skirts, and this suit offers
them a compromise. The coat Is cut

of good style. However, it leaves
golden advantage for women to wear
their skirts at exactly the lengths they
wish and to look their best in the style
that best suits them.
AS for sleeves-well, as iar as eve
ming gowns are concerned, there are
none whatever. There are merely ap-
ertures where the sleeves should be,
and, In the dresses for the new sea-
son, these armholes become more and
more severe and squared off. They
are strangely becoming in spite of their
severity, even though one might not
expect them to be so. 1t is a fashion
that you become used to and find that
your original fears against IL were
founded upon sand.
In one of the very latest evening
gowns there were these plain, carved
out armholes, into which faring
sleeves made of one layer Of tulle were
set. On the ends of the sleeves three
wide bands of crystal bead en-
broidery were set so that they weight

the most delicate, exquisite fashion.

DAIRY COW BUYERS

the unfavorable weather. Good
springer heifers were bid in at from
SEQ to $50 and the cows brought
from SIS to SIPS. The Jerseys
seemed to be most in demand and
commanded the best prices. 1t was
the general concensus Of opinion
that the animals were worth more
than they brought, but all were
knocked off to the highest bidder,
and there was no by-bidding.
Before starting the sale Mr..
Cranke delivered a brief eulogy of
the late R. c. McCroskey and re-
auested the men in the crowd to
remove their hats and all to
bow their heads for one minute as a
token of respect for the memory of
the man who had done so much to
advance the agricultural interests OF
the state.

SENSE OF SIGHT
McDERNuTT'S TOPIC

That the Sense of Sight is a
vital factor in creating good or a
bad impression, but in most cases
a lasting one, of towns, cities and
communities as well as of individuals,
was the contention of Professor W.
T. McDermitt, professor of drawing
and design at the State College, in
a talk on that subject before the To-
cal Kiwanis club Monday. The i'm
preston of town gained by tour
list or a visitor is of necessity largely
matter of yisuality he pointed out.
and urged the Importance to any
community of creating a striking but
favorable and lasting impression up
on its visitors or tourists by present
ing a picture of beauty and neatness
He urged action toward the removal
of local "eyesores' as one of the
first steps in a local improvement
campaign.
Mondays Kiwanis meeting was at
tended by five prominent Colfax cfti-
zens, who came to Pullman to get
an insight into the workings of the
club in contemplation of the organi-
cation OF a Kiwanis club at the coun-
ty seat The attendance prize d
handsome pipe donated by the City
Club, was won by Captain Walter T.
