MEDFORD IATL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD,' OR Kti ON, SUNDAY, MARCH 20, 1910. 12 BIG PINES HAS NEW PAINT HOUSE Lnrao New Paint Store Is Located Just OddosHo Present Offices of Company Tasteful Structure. A building representing tho old California mission effect is being constructed by this hustling com pany. The end anti front are both finished in the handsomo scroll dc signs. Tho outsido will bo con stractcd with Acme cement plaster with suitable trimmings to best show ff the beauty of this stylo of ar chitecture and to incidentally show what can bo accomplished with the famous and justly celebrated "Pure Prepared" brand of weather-proof paints carried exclusively by tho Big Pines Lumber company, just purch ased from the W. P. Fuller & Co. af Portland. All dry colors as well as prepared saints, varnishes, stains. tc, will be stocked in all sizes and carried in largo quantities. Brushes, roofings, etc., will also fee shown here. It is their intention to show and keep always on hnnd the best assorted and selected stock of paints and materials to be found is any city -outside of Portland or Frisco. Mention fixing the terrace effect. The Big Pines believes in doing everything on the most extensive scale. You will always find the largest stocks of all classes of building materials, and when it came to stock paints, varnishes, oil, etc., tbey decided to erect a building and put in a stock that would be a credit to a city twice the size of Medford cheeks, club checks, pin heads ami modest stripes. In tho overcoats stripes are chiofly employed mid those are of a more obtrusivo nature than in the suit patterns. Somo plaids and medium stripes are also shown in the suits and few, but com paratively few, bold stripes aro shown in any garmouts this season. The blues and blacks aro being shown mostly in fancy worsteds and flannel effects and also in some ve lour finishes. Tho patterns are of the most subdued character and con sist chiofly of self stripes, pencil or chalk stripes. Tho contrasting color with these is usually whito or Boft tones. Omens and browu as well as other ou-suaucs are very little shown. WHY CHILDREN SHOULD HAVE A PUBLIC LIBRARY (Continued from Page 9.) UNUSUAL LATITUDE IN HEN'S FASHIONS (Continued from Pago 9.) iat description here is unnecessary. In both raincoats and regular . coats there is a tendency townrd tho return of the paddock coat with its cxagrtrted chest, shajied-in waist, fall sweep skirts and lap seams. oS any of the really fashionable dressers in the large cities are wear ing these coats that their influence is bound to bear fruit, if not in a prominent degree this season thev will surely be noticeable next fall. !The same might be said about the paletot and surtout coats. Just as conservatism is the domi nant note in designing for this sea eon's styles, so also is it noteworthy !:ect in patterning and color schemes. Tho two prominent colors of the day are WOMEN'S FASHIONS SHOW by boys and girls because they want to read and it is so easily obtained. This deluge of worthless matter can be counteracted only by tho gratuit ous supplies from a public library. Third Wo mav novor know what societv has lost by failure to quiokon into life dormant talents for art, in vention, experiment. Had retarding influence effected Morse, Bell wo might today be without tho locomo tive ana teiepnone. certainly an awakening is indicated by tho fact that our boys in Medford aro crav ing books of mechanical device, dis covery, invention. It is surely a hopeful sign that there is such n demand for such magazines as Sci entific American, opulnr Mechanics and Technical World. How can we know to what new directions tho fer tile brains of our boys may not turn this knowledge. Fourth A library, property ar ranged, will havo a museum with a representative collection of the birds and insects of tho locality. The problem, then, of utilizing profitably tlie activities of a "gang" of boys is partially solved. Boys are inveterate collectors and eager to learn about natural science. Fifth Then the subtle influence of a library cannot be ignored. The children come of their own will they are influenced silently, uncon sciously. They feel themselves wel come, loved and respected. Their self-respect is increased. Sixth From the standpoint of the future of our town, onr library ! workp best through the children. We all desire onr children to have better opportunities than we have had, aid , not have to work as wo have worked Lets be "boosters," help ourselves, our town and our boys and girls bv (Unitedly supporting the library pro- E. F. J. silk, iu a contrasting shade. Though tho suit coats have all boon shortened up into liusttinu blouso and even Ktou lengths, the scparato coat for Bpring continues to bo full length, though often devel oped iu Russian effects. The straight-cut garments on closoly fit ting lines are easily in tho load. Silk coats of black: taffota or tho natural shades of pongeo and tussah will be much worn. Ouo model In tussah il lustrates a new feature iu tho com bination of a blouso front with a bolted effoot, without a belt, how ever. The l'ullnoBS of the blouso frout is confined in threo narrow tucks to which is extended tho skirt paucl, thus forming a sort of low, broad belt. Tho vory long roll col lar is the distinguishing feature of the new coats, together with tho left sido lapping. Sometimes a single buttou fastens tho coat at tho waist lino, and more than threo aro novor used. Tho color note for spring is a sub dued ouo. salt, silvorv grays greens with yellow glints natural pongeo &a4cs and hipping ot coatn mid costumes hu an onrthtpiako.

Tho chiffon-veiled effect's which havo boon bo well liked in evening gowns the past season are now be ing used injeceptiou gowns and din nor frocks. Black chiffon tunics ovor blue or green or orange satin founda tions are among' tho more favored stylos. thoy may bo different for each arm, if ouo wishes to ndopt ouo of the latest caprices of fashion. Laue. not, gold and silver tissue and chif fon are largoly used. Linen and lingerie gowns already give promise of unusual popularity. Pastel sIkiiIcs in linon, hand ombraid ored, are shown iu many tailored of foots. Tho princess linos of the strictly lingerie gown, which were anything but practical, have given evening gowns tor oarly spring way entirely to tho full skirts ami r more profusely spangled and belted waists. Madeira and Lorraine bonded and glittering than they wore 'embroideries are much used on these during tho winter season, if that is drosses and flouncing to'a width of considered possible.

Jn' tfrays and blues and next to these the fancy blacks, the latter confined to suits. The entire gamut of the gray tones rnnning from the light grays to the iark oxfords are the very height of xashion this season. The materials Htost in vogue arc the eweeds, chev iots, cassimeres, velours, and un ehearcd worsteds. During the sum mer months many suits will bo shown in tho tropical fabrics, such ns home spun, crashes and flannels.

The smaller the pat tern the smarter the foulnrd is con sidered to bo. Another revival of a once popular silk is that of the changeable or chameleon silk, which is to be found in the tnffetns and satins. Many of the now suits and pastel colorings predominate the changeable silks and foslaras the tans, grays, rose, violet and green are preferred. The neutral tones of tho street costumes aro of- -ten relieved, however, by a touch of brilliant color at tho neck, and tho use of contrasting color in some of tho new linings makes subtle colon harmony possible A striking pon gee cont having a shawl shape collar of orange taffeta, embroidered in the same color, had a lining of com spotted foulard having black dots on a burnt orange ground. Tlie popularity of tho ready-made gown for overyday or dress occas ions has resulted in a wido selection of these to be found in the shops. They rnnga in prico and elaboration from the simple tailored effects iu silks or lightweight wool materials to tho dinner gowns nnd evening costumes, swathed in chiffons and a- glint with tinsel. Tho modes seem to have conspired to aid tho woman who thriftily "makes- things over."

The materials favored for the simpler drosses are tussah and fou lnrd silks, wool batistes, voiles and i enchemcre. Tho Russian influence is stroncrly shown in the insistence upon a normal waist line, either sug gested or encircled with a girdle or belt of leather, or folds of materia' often in a contrasting color. Though it was predicted that the vogue of the tunic would be fleeting, many variations of its simple outlines nrr being shown. The most nppTovm' style- is cut off at the knees nnd i either of even, round length or fnlN in points helow the nips, with n short skirt the effect is not nlwnv graceful, so that tunfe modes are best employed in tho more clnborntc costumes.
