Deserves Crown.
nv JAMES T. MONTAGUE.

A Spanish doctor Of 81 has gone
back to college.
You would think that a person OF 30
Who has spent long lifetime al
work,
Would feel somewhat inclined
To look around him and find
A duty or two he might sh1rk.
You'd imagine he'd some time &c
fishing,
Or take in a musical show,
Or go to dance,
For a man has small chance
Of happiness down here below.
But a doctor in Spain that I read OF
While skimming the cream of the
news,
Although aged 81,
Has no banker for fun;
He harbors quite different views.
He had to get rid Of his practice,
But he will not hole up in his den,
Though it seems quite absurd,
The dauntless old bird
Has gone back to college again.
He has taken his seat as freshman,
Although well past his 8oth year,
And beyond any doubt,
He joins in the shout
That is known as the old college
cheer.
A rah-rahing greybeard past 80
One may view as trifle absurd.
But think, just the same,
That the laurels of fame
Ought to crown the undaunted old
bird.

BOUFFANT EVENING GOWN OF
WHITE TAFFETA COMBINED
WITH A BEAUTIFUL SHADE OF
GREEN VELVET. SKETCHED IN
A WASHINGTON SHOP.
other lovely evening ensemble Of
heavy crepe silver metal cloth with
jacket of the same, which used wide
bands of white fox to finish the arm
holes, producing a splendid effect.
For the formal afternoon function
there does not seem to be anything
more handsome and smart than
black-and- white combination of velvet
and ermine. The adorable ensemble
which is sketched, has many points to
its credit and was chosen from among
the higher priced models. Made of an
exceedingly handsome quality of vel
vet, the interest in the jacket centers
in the smartly cut yoke and collar OF
ermine, which just caps the shoulders
and fastens with one button at the
front. The collar, which is unusually
high, may be worn in variety of ways,
according to the whim of the moment
The skirt with front slash is topped
by a smart overblouse of chalk white
matelaSse with pleasing yoke, which is
rounded on the left side and fastened
with very large and striking bar pin
of white metal set with brilliantS.
This Is the sort of ensemble that you
might expect to see on the stage, it
Is 50 handsome, and yet it is not too
extreme for actual social use. and the
stunning coat would, no doubt, be
used with other costumes as well.
The stained glass colors in velvet
are exquisite, and we are hearing
a lot about them; those rich pur-
pies, those fuschia shades, and the
deep wine tones, as we'll as several
blues. One shop is showing deep
wine red velvet with the full gatlN
cred skirt and fitted bodice with
special interest focused on the
upper portion, which is cut
straight across, but given square
neck outline by the use of a shoul-
der covering Of net. To this is at
tached velvet ruffle, which con-
tues down the back. A cluster Of

~ HALL we swish in a dramatic
robe de style or shall we be
streamlined? That is the Ques-
ton. Both silhouettes are
equally favored for formal eve
ming wear, with the result that evening
parties are particularly interesting and
varied, from the feminine standpoint.
The long, full skirt gathered or shir-
red into a snugly-fitted bodice little
below normal waistline, and usually
accompanied by fullneSs of sleeves or
some shoulder width, makes a charm
ing picture, quaint and reminiscent OF
bygone days and yet at the same time
modern.
Take. for instance. the beautiful
white taffeta frock which is sketched,
with its pointed bodice dipping below
the normal WaiStllne and the great
width of the skirt shirred below it,
Note that the velvet ruff1e around the
neck is pleated at fairly wide intervals,
which is new note, and the odd
shaped sleeves are also pleated into
the armholes under the ruff1e. The
velvet is a very lovely shade of me-
dium light green and the cluster of
velvet flowers are of the same color.
The interesting SKIRT with its front
slash has a cuff hem of velvet lined
with taffeta. which is caught to the
skirt only at intervals, producing a
very novel effect. This costume might
we'll have been worr. to the recent
Green Ball in New York, but it may
be found in Washington shop.
In extreme contrast to this dress
Is one Of heavy, stiff black taffeta,
which begins with high, straight
across neckline and stiff gathered
wing sleeves that narrow somewhat
toward the waiStIine. The tight
fitting skirt seems to come to a
point at the hem and a stiff, full
f1ounce mounts to another point
at the back. There is a wide fat
belt of taffeta covered with crystal
squares.
A VERY stunning model that was
shown us is of finest quality
brown faille with long, slim skirt,
and the most fascinating tunic, en-
tirely covered with a small pattern of
sparkling brown beads. This tunic
has a rather high round neck front
and back, and is sleeveless. In the
front gorgeous splash of brilliant red
velvet is passed Through Sits to hold
the blouse down firmly, but at the
sides and back it is left to hang
loosely 1t is slashed down the back,
and through this opening the wearer's
back Is visible almost to the waist,
where knot of bright velvet finishes
the broad sash that comes from the
front.
Just as we were leaving this shop
our attention was attracted by an

Treasure
BY JOHN BLAKE.

BY JOHN BLAKE.
WHILE you sit at home, poking the
fire or reading, hundreds Of
able men and women are searching
sthe world for treasures which they
will soon be able to show to you
through the medium of books or on
the picture screens.
If you are ignorant Of the world
around you, from pole to pole, and
about its whole circumference, it is
your own fault
Peary was the first man to reach
the Pole, but it was the explorers who
followed him who, through their writ
ings and their photography, made the
Arctic, with all its wonders, familiar
to people through the length and
breadth of the earth.
There are many men, and women
as well, who love to explore the mine
and tempt the dangerous Deep" and
who have familiariZed the rest Of us
with lands which few hundred years
ago were not even heard of. The love
of adventure, which abides in the
breasts of the explorers, has been a
boon to us stay-at-homeS. All Of us
are adventurerS at heart.
The little boy, running across
tiny stream, delights to follow it along
till it merges with brook, and then
to follow the brook to its confluence
with river. And when he goes
home, to tell his father and mother
about it, he feels like another Column
bus, returning from hitherto unknown
lands.
The other day I looked out Of the
| window of the little house where I
was spending a few weeks-a little
house, which looks out on Boothbay
Harbor, Me.
| Suddenly, down toward the south
ern gate of the harbor, saw very
white vessel heading in. With glass
could read her name. She was the
BoWdoin, in which Donald Macmillan
makes yearly trips to the Arctic.
bringing back valuable information
about tides, ice, and new and un-
known stretches Of the northern polar
regions.
Macmillan takes with him as a
crew college boys, who help him with
his work, and many of them will con-
tinue with their careers of explora-
ton, adding much to the knowledge
of a region which for many years was
unknown, save to a few daring Nor
wegian or Icelandic sailors, who were
blown by storms to a then unknown
| coast.
1t is well for the world that there
are daring and bold men in it-men
who will take any risk to satisfy their
scientific curiosity, and are adding
constantly to the knowledge of the
people of the world, about regions of
the earth which a few years ago
seemed as distant as the stars.
These very stars are becoming less
mysterious than they were, because
of the discoveries Of trained and
| thinking men, secluded in observa-
tories on lonely mountains.
The most of us are too timid for
this great task. But there will always
be brave men to teach us more and
more about our planet.

Spiders

I am far from recommending that
anybody pick up a spider. They can
certainly bite, though none hereabouts
are really poisonous. Probably no
spiders, anywhere in the temperate
world, would be fatel in their bites

tious.
When I was a child, I stood in
deadly fear of what We called McKin-
ley spiders-I know not why. Their
black and gold markings suggested
something tropical and dangerous,
and there was something deadly about
the way these big creatures sat silent
and motionless on their big webs,
never running away, as small spiders
will, when approached. The attitude
seemed to suggest that they had moth

folds of the two colors, and a narrow
panel of the rose tone keeps the back

Glittering white is particularly good

with white crepe covered with tiny
mirror appliques. The bodice is clev-
erly cut to fit snugly around the neck
with a diamcnd-Shaped opening below

the front of the waist, so that there
will be no mistake about its being a
formal evening gown. Four silver but

around the hips and widens out grace

LET'S PUT HIM OVER

The State of Washington, at the polls this fall
has the opportunity to take advantage of a rare
coincidence. A man of great ability and wide ex-
perlence has resigned from position of impor-
lance. Ready to take his place is another man Of
equal parts.
Through the prestige which comes from many
years OF experience on the floor of the Senate and
a natural ability intelligently and forcefully d.
rected, Senator G. G. Dill became of inestimable
value to the state which he represented. During
the years which he served as member of the mi
norlty party he was able to put through legisla-
ton very favorable to the northwest; and during
the past year and half, while his party was in
power, he had the opportunity to realize upon his
years of effort.
Now that Senator Dill has refused to run for
denomination, it is matter of vital Importance
that the voters OF this state find man to fill his
place who will be able to carry on from the high
point at which Senator Dill has left off, Among
the eleven candidates from the two parties who
are seeking the nomination for United States Sen
ator there is one name that stands out as that Of
the natural successor. The name is Charles H.
Leavy.
Judge Leavy stands out head and shoulders
above the rest of the crowd as man whose talents
are OF calibre comparable to those of the man
he would succeed.
There are reasons peculiar to us east-siders
which incline us to favor him. During his several
terms as Superior Court judge Mr. Leavy has
established a reputation being one of the most
capable justices in the state. The people of the
Priest Rapids valley are familiar with him
through his decision in the confirmation proceed
ings Of the local irrigation district His decision
in this showed a fine knowledge Of the prob
lens facing an irrigated country and forcibly
strengthened the legal status Of all similar organ
izations in the state So able his handling of

of supporters of both sides of the contention

problems and want to realize our dreams of devel-
opment and growth, we should recognize in such
man as Judge Leavy, irregardless Of our party
affiliations, timely and powerful representative.

Discussion of Last Weeks True False
Horticultural Statements

Discussion l. True. Analysis of the
1888 spraying and washing records of
number of growers In Central WASH
ington indicated that in general the
addition of spreaders to lead arsenate
used with mineral or fish oils seemed
to facilitate lead removal, and to a
less extent it may have aided in
arsenic removal.
Discussion 2. False. The truth is that
the addition of spreaders to lead ar
senate in combination with either
mineral Oil or fish oil or both were
used seem to result in a less successful
removal of both lead and arsenic.
Discussion 3. True. The use of MIC
otine and mineral Oil as spray fol-
lowing previous applications of lead
arsenate and other combinations does
tend to complicate the residue remov-
al especially with HCL used as wash
ing agent, but not any more than does
the use of like amount of mineral
oil without nicotine.
