Within very recent years color has
become SO customary in napery that
II almost seems as If il had been an
element in il always. But originally
1t was white. then color was intro
duced, and then the vogue returned
for white only. This year color is
more in favor than ever before in
napery and towels. The red table
cloth and red napkins, which were
tahooed only a little while ago, are
now among faVorite pieces. Fortu.
nately there is wider latitude in col
ors. for now yellow, blue. green, rose.
etc. vie with one another for popu-
larity.
Replica of Lace Work.
The character of colored napery
has also changed. Whereas 1t was
once of rather inferior quality, much
OF 1t today is now of the finest make.
Designs are like traceries of lace. In
deed, some are such excellent replicas
of lace over tinted silk that when one
does not inspect them closely it is
battling to distinguish the difference,
at least where the damask comes on
the top of the table. The sides where
the cloth falls over the edges are
less puzzling, for the ripples are
identical, as would not happen in
double covers. The silk lining and
the lace would each fall in ripples
OF it's own. Admiration is awakened.

White Bluffs High School News

Class Day was held at the high
school Wednesday afternoon, May
10. Diplomas were presented to the
graduating class by Superintendent w.
M. Underhill. All present expressed re.
greet that Edna Johnson was unable
to be present on account of illness.
The seniors read their class will and
prophecy, which were well received
by their friends and school-mates.
The Juniors then put on mock
commencement program which was
undoubtedly more entertaining than
real one would have been. The
Sophomores presented a pantomined
forecast of the Juniors and Seniors
in the years to come. Strangely
enough, they all seemed to congregate
at the Seattle General Hospital where
EDNA Johnson will be in training.
The Freshmen concluded the program
with an original burlesque on the
Landing of Columbus which may
not have been strictly in accord with
history, but at least produced the de-
sired laughs.

The frost may have cleaned up
most of the tree fruit but hen fruit
apparently Jared better, judging by
two eggs handed in to the Spokes-

among the eggs gathered in one
week by Mrs. Shaw from her flock
of Rhode Island Red and Plymouth

Because it is the parent tree of a
variety and, altho 90 years old, is still
producing fruit, an apple tree at Peru,
Iowa, has been honored by monu-
ment. Last year, the tree yielded
more than five bushels of sound
apples, says Popular Mechanics. Tree
surgeons are credited with keeping it
alive. Periodically, the decayed wood
of it's trunk is removed and concrete
filling applied, while the most of the
lower part has been rebuilt with steel
members. The branches are kept
pruned so that the roots will not be-
come exhausted in supplying nourish-
ment to useless twigs and leaves. A
pioneer orchardist is said to have set
cut tree of Beethoven variety in his
garden in 1864. ia
