CALL FROM LIVE ONES.

The Gazette acknowledges a call
Friday last from those two wide
awake, peppery pushers, Arthur Lund
and Fred Furey, of Tonasket, and that
Tonasket is the healthy, going town
that it is. with rapidly accommodating
population in the valley Immediately
adjacent is in large measure due to
the fact that these two gentlemen are
always on the job boosting. If there
is anything within grabbing reach
that will directly or indirectly work
out to the advantage OF their home
town Messrs Furey and Lund are the
boys who reach out and gather it in
1t is their ever vigilant activity that
gets results. These gentlemen were
accompanied by that staid but always
genial and entertaining Missourian
Hon. Hans Lund. who acted as chap
eron on this excursion, and who has
such a warm place in his heart for
Okanogan county tho he spends al
most as much of his time In this val
ley as he does at his home in Kansas
City.

After the season has opened, after
all OF the startling things have been
exhibited by both American and French
designers, after fashionable women
have had chance to select with care
those creations that they consider
worthy Of their notice, then comes q
blending, an amalgamation of the two

not always what one might expect or

In the New York Times. However,
there is usually 4 large proportion OF

All this having been told, we must
see to the various ways in which the
general principles are carried out and
In that process there is an inexhausti-
Bile fund for research and thought, not
to mention experimentation.
There are points about tho American

times the material makes 1t distinctive

Straight Lines and Plaits
Even the French designers find that
the old standard lines are surviving
with persistence which they might
wish otherwise. AZ fashions stand
now, indeed, you cannot 60 wrong on
the straight lines that have proved
themselves becoming to your own style
Of figure
Plaits this season, have found q fast
place In popular favor. There are
whole dresses which are plated. There
are blouses laid In finely placed plaits.
There are plated inserts and plated
capes and plated coats. And many Of
the frocks which are expressive Of the
seasons styles have plaits incorporated
in their making, but in such an astute
