GATEWAY USED IN
 TAX|DERMY 0F LARGE
 DOLLY WARDEN TROUT

The Seward Gateway, besides being read in almost every hamlet in Alaska, used to line the cup board shelves, wrap foodstuifs in build fires, etc., has found an odd purpose.
 The Gateway was used in the 1axidermy of a Dolly Warden trout as stuffing by Mrs. Nellie Neal Law ing. This trout is now on display in the prize trophy room of Law ing's Lodge on Kenai Lake. However, the Gateway was not found practical as stuffing be- cause of the transparency of the fish skin, and the reading matter and the advertisements were vis- ible on the outside of the mount ed fish, so Mrs. Lawing had to find more suitable stuffing
 The taxidermy of this Dolly Var den was Mrs. Lawing's first attempt at the art and when one con- siders the care which must be talk en in skinning the fish and the many processes entailed before the speciman is ready one can well see that Mrs. Lowing possesses vast knowledge of taxidermy. The fish appears very natural and is mount ed against a blue background with the waves and seagulls painted in in lighter shade.

TWO SCHOOL HOUSES
 SOLD BY TERRITORY

Deeds transferring title from the Territory to two abandoned public school buildings-at Ester and Fox were signed by Gov. George A. Parks. Bids on them were called for by Commissioner w. K. Keller of the Department of Education on his recent Interior trip, says the Juneau Empire.
 The two buildings were sold for $1,216 Samuel Samson pur- chased the one at Ester for S116 and the Fairbanks Exploration Company bought the Fox tuilding for SLIGO.
 i The sales were made under an act passed by the 1881 Legislature authorizing the Department to dispose of buildings abandoned and to transfer equipment from them to other points.

en- who love pretty and becoming
clothes.
To go through the summer without
at least one of these tlattering cum
ming wraps made of sheer velvet,
either black or in colors, well, anybody
that is anybody among fashions fol-
lowers would never for moment en-
terrain such thought.
There are as many ways Of making
these fanciful transparent velvet jack
cts as there are jackets. The same
may be said in regard to their colors.
After one acquires black velvet mod
ell to wear whenever and with what
ever frock one may please, the urge
begins to stir within to try colors-a
coat of bright green to wear with ones
green and white print, or delicate
blue or an ivory white to top this or
that costume.
Although transparent velvet wraps
vary in length, the hipline is the popu-
lar stopping place. Particular atten-
ton is given to sleeve detail. In the
deliberately tucked model shown in the
group illustrated, elbow room is am
pie. The finely tucked rolled collar
which distinguishes this model is I'M
usual, as the majority of the little vel
vet wraps go collarless. The color for
this charming fantasy is lettuce green

This simple wrap-around hip-length
coatee is of coral transparent velvet.
The huge loose sleeves are brought in
sharply at the elbow in series of soft
shirrings. One of the roses Is black
and the other is coral.
Pistachio green is the color Of the
artistic velvet wrap pictured in the
oval. 1t features smart draped neck
line and deep cuffs, the latter deftly
held in place with straps of self-vel-
vet. The bodice is softly bloused over
a smooth band at the hips.
