TWEED COATS
ARE SMART
FOR SPRING
By WILMA LA VILE

Fashion has thoughtfully pro-
vided for us typically summer
coats, formal enough in line
and color for street wear, yet
cool enough for midsummer.
These coats are of cotton mesh
tweeds, combining the smart.
ness and Importance of tweeds
with the lightneSS of cotton.
Do not get the idea that
these coats are cheap looking,
or are not well enough made
for general or immediate wear.
for they give the same good Ap,
pearance of a wool tweed coat.
Their patterns are much the
same, their colors are fashion
able and varied. such as mix
lures of green and black, vel
low and black, black and white,
and so forth, and they are
made on the best lines of the
season. Furthermore they have
the sponsorship of Chanel, a
leading Paris designer.
The coats of this type that
are now being shown in Wash
ington are mostly copies of
Chanel coats, copies that you
are already familiar with, such
as the cape coat with jig-saw
edge, the belted straight-line
coat, the Chanel REFER, which
is a double-breaSted coat, either
belted in the back, or fitted in
princess manner. They may
have fur, but most of them are
furleSs. depending for their
chic on line and cut.
The coats we are sketching
here are typical of three lead
ing types. The furred coat is
of red tweed with black lapin,
cut on semi-princeSs lines, for
NAL enough for street or in
formal afternoon wear. The
belted Straight-line coat is for
sports or street, a favorite type.
The cape coat is a copy after
Chanel, the cape edged with a
Jlg-saw pattern, the coat belted
in the popular manner.
Even when the weather is
really hot, most women feel
better dressed on the street
with some type Of wrap. so we
expect these coats to be very
popular then, though they are
also suitable to wear right now.

old-faShioned flowers.
Delphinium, phlox, sweet alys-
sum, hollyhocks, bachelor but
tons, zinnias, four o'clocks, spice
pinks, mignonette, candytuft--
just the same sort of flowers
some of us can remember in
our grandmothers' gardens.
Rock Gardens
Rock gardens are much in
fashion. And very gay they are
when bright. little blossoms
begin to swine about their
brown background.
Combination flower and vege-
table gardens are a fashion
when back yard space is at a
premium. You'll find many a
back row of Zinnias or sweet
peas Frightening up the radiSh
tops and the beans that grow in
front of them!
Lucky the folks who have the
space for outdoor gardens. But
lack of outdoors is no discour-
agement to those who haven't

"A. R. GARDNER RESIGNS
AS STATE OFFICIAL

A. r. Gardner has rendered his
resignation, effective February IS, az
State Director Of Efficiency to accep,
position as executive secretary oil
a savings and loan association, with
headquarters at Olympia.
Gardner has been identified with
the present state administration for
the past SIX years. Prior to that he
was editor of the Kennewick Couier-
Reporter. In 1924 he undertook, sue
cessfully, the management of the
campaign Of Roland Hartley for
Governor. After Hartley's election,
Gardner sold his newspaper interests
to become the Governors private
secretary. Later, he was appointed
Director of Efficiency, one of the
departments in the Governors cabi-
net.
Regarding his six years as a state
official, Gardner, in public state
ment accompanying his resignation,
said: my work with the state has
been interesting, and highly instruc-
tive. 1t has carried with it fuller
knowledge of the state and the details
of its governmental affairs, wider
acquaintance with it's people, and a
better understanding of their individ-
ual problems. However, at best any
state employment can be regarded
only as temporary. 1t is impossible
for one to say, This is my life work;
l intend to grow and develop and be-
come more useful in it, And the
longer one stays on a political job,
the more difficult it becomes for him
to reestablish himself in private life.
That's why I am leaving it."

woMAN's CLUB NOTES

"Home Welfare" announced as the
subject of the club study meeting for
January, furnished the motive for
two papers last Wednesday afternoon
that for interest and thoroughness
have rarely been excelled in any Of
the clubs past programs.
The meeting was called to order
promptly at 2 o'clock by the presi-
dent, Mrs. d. S. Wilkinson, who cx
pressed qualification at the number
of visitors who were present in addi-
ton to the nineteen members ans
wering to roll call.
Mrs. Peck's paper on "Fire Proven
ton" was listened to with close atten-
ton and the volley Of questions fred
at her at the close of her talk BE-
trayed the deep interest felt by all
in this most important phase of home
protection.
The discussion continued during the
serving of tea and cakes by the hos
tesses for the afternoon, Mrs. Keal
and Mrs. Wheeler. The tea time re-
cess was further enlivened by the
playing of photograph record

of the spiritual training of children
during their most mpressionable
years; Il training which, she said, is
being more or less neglected, even in
homes where the most excellent care
and training is being given along mat
erial lines. She suggested helpful
books to interested mothers and upon

voted to buy these books and place
them upon the shelves OF the library,

KINGS SPEECH HEARD HERE

In spite Of the exceptionally colo
weather, or maybe, because it fur.
nished the excuse to get up and re
plerish the fires, number of White
Bluffs residents crawled out of bee
at three o'clock Tuesday morning and
turned on their radio sets for the
broadcast of speeches by English
notables, including King George
speaking from London, at the naval
disarmament conference being held
there. With the exception of F. ].
Rider, who was particularly anxious
to hear the speeches but who was
unable. to clear up some disturbance
on his set, all report the reception
was exceptionally clear and distinct.
The program was continued on other
days this week but with the excep-
ton of Tuesdays they have been
broadcast during the daytime.

Elaborate plans are under way in
Kennewick for big two-day carnival
and auction to be given February ID

citation. Organizations in the town
are cooperating lin handling the fun.
There will be side shows, booths, I,

Committees are at work to make

INSTRUCTIVE MEETINGS

The two days Horticultural
School this week at the White
Bluffs high school gym attracted
a good sized crowd Of growers, the
attendance here, County Agent e.
G. Durdle said, being larger than
at Kennewick Monday and Tuesday.
The interest of the growers was
manifested by the numerous ques-
tions asked, the meetings being
conducted in a more or less inform
al manner. Probably all of the
major orchard problems were dis
cussed and the growers who attend
ed say it was the most interesting
and instructive school held, up to
this time.
