And the gaily colored. tiny chiffon

suited for street wear with the smart
tailleur. However, suede or suede
trimmed with patent or dull leather
is to be seen in the foremost ranks of
footwear fashions. In these suede
shoes great ingenuity is show in the
countless fascinating ways in which
the contrasting leather is introduced.
Sometimes slashes in the suede show
the contrasting leather, or it may be
put on in lattice work or as a more
conventional edging. Certainly never
before did the shoe designers have
such an opportunity to exercise fer

narrow bands that they resemble mar

is seen in the sides of the slipper or in
the front coming up the instep. In
fact. the more unusual the strap. the
smarter the slipper Sometimes these
straps are fastened with tiny buckles.
In the satin slippers they are very apt
TO have a button which may be COW

buckle of pearls or rhinestones. These
buckles add greatly to the smart
elaboration of the dressier slipper.
Patent leather is so attractively

Sometimes it seems as though the
whole problem Of the smartly dressed
woman lay in choosing just the right
effective background of a well cut
frock, ones personality may be beau
tifully expressed in smartly tasteful
little accessories. And fortunately
they are unusually lovely this year.
Ear rings are worn more than ever
this season. And they are larger than
ever-if that sounds possible to you.
Cut steel, all the gloriously colored
semi-precious stones, intricately cary
ed gold. shower ear rings with tiny
pearl on the end of each of many
fine, short gold chains, plain pearl
drops or elaborate wide ear rings-all
are good. The only rule seems to be
that ear rings Of some sort or another
you must wear if you would be smart.
And the wise woman follows only one
guide in choosing her ear rings-be-
comingnesS.
And the bracelets, There is nothing
unusual in seeing a slender, pretty
arm with from ten to twenty Of them.
And they are so attractive with the
sleeveless frocks. Again, as in ear
rings, all types are good from the
slender flexible bands to huge wide
ones. But quite the most popular are
the thick rounded circlets which are
worn in all imaginable colors as well
as carved ivory. Quite popular, too,
are little tinkling bracelets Of gaily
eolored glass.
For the Hair
II 10 very seldom, nowadays that
one sees an unornamented eoiffu-e, es-
pecially in the evening. For those who
find smooth hair, dressed close to the
head, becoming, there are stunning
Spanish combs. Some are of solid
bright colors while others are Of shell
set with brilliants. But this season
one comb, no matter how large, is not

tile imagination as that which they
must use at present If their shoes are
to attain any degree of popularity and
smartness in the eyes Of the we'll
dressed woman.
With the contrast Of leather con-
trast of colcI is apt to be introduced.
Sometimes this contrast is given by a
darker self tone or if Milady prefers
something more unusual, vivid slashes
of red, green or blue leather may be
found giving life and color to shoe
of otherwise sombre tone. The great
popularity Of browns and tans ex-
tends to our footwear so countless

Fashionably Shod

1t hardly seems possible when we
look back just few years, to think
that the plain oxford and pump form
ed such an important part of the foot
wear fashions of the we'll dressed
woman. For now elaboration and still
more elaboration is the keynote of
footwear smartness.
Straps Are the Thing.
The strap slipper is quite the most
popular Of all. Straps of every kind
and description are seen-some ex-

| considered enough. \ pair of them
are worn as n rule. They are always
put in exactly opposite each other.
These combs are frequently set
straight across the back of the head
but, if it is more becoming, one is
worn a little higher than the other
You will find the balanced effect of
these combs utterly charming.
The ever becoming bandeau is still
a great favorite. And perhaps one
reason for its continued popularity is
that it holds the hair just in place
during an entire evening of dancing
so that the ideal of the fastidious
woman may be realized-to leave
party looking just as attractively trim
as when she arrived. Gold or silver
ribbon, often flower trimmed, is very
popular for these bandeaux, but quite
as often one sees bandeaux Of white
or colored crepe de chine to match
the frock.
Chains and More Chains
OF course, many and varied are the
chains and necklaces of colored stones
which are seen this fall. And while
the "choker" necklace of large stone
worn close about the throat is quite
the newest, it has by no means dim
med the popularity of the longer
chain which is so attractive with the
simple long wasted blouse of today.
When the chains and ear rings match
and the bracelets harmonic, a truly
stunning effect can be gained.
The gauntlet glove is quite at the
height of the fall mode whether it is
worn with a suit or a sleeveless after
noon frock. But this year the wide
cuff is turned down over the wrist 70
show the gay decorations which are
to be found on the inside of the cuffs
of the newer gauntlets. In fact the at
tempt to make the glove meet the
short sleeve of a srock has been given |
up as hopeless, so even when long |
gloves are worn they are seen crushed !

seven, come eleven; oh you big
Dick!" came floating through the
air, Friday, as Deputy Sheriff Paul
French was slowly vending his way
homeward, after a strenuous day.
Visions of big haul flashed through
his mind. Peering in at window
he discovered two local men busily
engaged in Shooting the bones"
After arming himself with the
proper papers, the arm of the law
was brought into play and the two
men were taken into custody. The
charge is gambling. The hearing,
at first set for Wednesday, has been
postponed until next Wednesday.

profitable to separate their milk and
sell the butter fat and feed the
SKINNED milk to their hogs and
poultry
These gentlemen already have
enough brood sows to consume about
one half of their SKINNED milk and
will add enough more brood sows
to use up all their skinned milk.
They will build up their present
herd to the short horn milking strain
by the use of thoroughbred sires.
1t seems to be a foregone conclus-
ion that the dairy business VIII
prove the financial salvation of this
territory. Every section in the Unit
ed States that has gone into this
business extensively has become
panic proof and the people thus en-
gagged always have money and are
not subject to the hardships of high
freight rates and market conditions
to any great extent.
In this interview the gentlemen
stated that they would erect enough
concrete silos to furnish ensilage
for their cows, with enough acreage
in corn to fill their silos each fall
as land is too valuable to be used
extensively for pasture.
Mr. Mutt is an experienced con-
crete man and they will build their
own silos.
We found these people very inter
esting and hospitable and it goes
saying that our citizenship
welcome these two wide awake
to our midst and they will
have the good will and best wishes
Of the community for their success.

COMMUNITY CONGREGATIONAL
CHURCH

The community class met at the
parsonage and after half an hour of
fresh oysters, pumpkin pie and fresh
raisins just from Fresno, the ques-
tion of the future of the boys and
girls of Grand View was the subject
of the after dinner discussion. One
member said, II look at it like this.
Thirty years from now some one is
going to Congress from Idaho, why
not my boy as well as any other
boy and if not that at least he should
become worth while citizen of the
state. As | look at it the school and
the church with the Sunday school
are the influences that will help to
do this thing for him and give him
the training and character that he
will need" Another said, "Onr boys
are going to initiate us and if we
take our places for the Sunday school
they will line up" Then the ques-
tion of what first for the community
was discussed with the result that
was agreed upon as Com
Day and the members of the
class, twelve in number with such
recruits as can be secured, will put
in the day working on the school |
grounds getting them ready for the |
trees and shubery that is to go in.
The extra trees from the parsonage
grounds will be taken up and placed
