Tho modol thnt grontoHt emphasis is laid upon is a looso short snok coat. Much loosor nnd shorter than wo have soon in sovoral soasons. The length of tho cont for mon of nvor nge build is to be about 31V4 inches. It is out Htrnightor than usunl nnd on more confiorvntivo lines, nnd will for thnt roason bo 1 ess form-defining thnn horotoforo.

Tho sleovo bonds nro also full and tho lapels bIiow loss longlh of roll, yet tho fold will bo long nnd narrow with a some what rakish roll that will harmon ir.o nnd balanoo with tho fullor back, exaggerated chest and modified fihouldor. Tho shouldor Ih sloping, following moro of tho natural linos thnn tho heroic typoB of yesteryear. Whilo this modol is defined ns onn Borvativo, still it is such n radical departure from what we hara ro- ontly soon that it pnrtnkos of tho aturo of an ONtromo innovation without being oxtromo in its dotnlln or embellishments, It is a cont that NHELA5TE Chert wao once a naughty bunny Who wan always bttng funny Hnd hept ihc land about htm In a constant state of awe Dla father and hla mother Cheat pranlta would try to cover Co Keep htm out of prtson and the clutches of the law.

Tho Elks gave a most enjoyable social evening Thursday at Angle opern house, having ns their guests tho ladies and young men who as sisted them in the minstrolK, nnd af ter the plav, tho members of the "! Elmo" company. An impromptu program was given, which proved must he skilfully tailored to bring out its merits nnd itn grace, nnd the entire attractiveness of tho garment depends on its balance and contour, as all fanciful ornamentation is elim inated, many models not even having tho conventional back vonh Another accepted model that smart tailors and designers nro featuring is a far cry from tho garment spoken of above. This model is slightly form-fitting and shnpely to a fault in its contour. Tho coat is about the samo longth ns the looso snok, but it is dooidedly tnporing at the waist and naturally flaring nt the hips. Many variations of this model, all following tho general form-fitting lines, aro shown. Many new cuff conceptions nro offered und there nro varying widths nnd lengths of lapol roll, Tho prominent noto of this gnnnont is tho exaggerated chest fullness thnt, with tho narrower waist, fullor hips and larger sleeves, will add sufficient dash to classify this design as an exceedingly snappy garment. Still nnothor modol that is con templated for young men is n sack coat that is a trlflo longer thnn oith or of the othor modols. For tho man of normnl hoight (fi feet 8 inchos) tho coat is about 32 inches in length, It is oloso-fitting and. flnrlng, but with loss of tho oxtromo hip ?ocn in the young men's models of last sea son, It hns a modified front dip and plenty of snnppiness jn 'pocket nnd cuff trentment to meet tho young man's fancy, Tho shoulders nro fIFS success, followed by dancing per wns served at tho K. of P. hall. after which ono nnd nil finished the evening by -dancing until tho wee Mmv honrfl. The Elks nro noted for their hospitality tho world over, nnd the Medford branch 'holds its own.

Cal. wider thnn the nnturnl build and it has an exaggerated rihest that gives it ttthletio modeling. I his model shows the shoulders -wider than tho hips nnd this characteristic accentu ates the athletic aspect desired, by college men wid others who affect their styles. hi these suck conts llioro is great variety of lapel treatment us to width, length nnd roll und various conceptions that bring mit the indi viduality of tho designer principally expressed in the pocket and cuff de signing. The best nnd most fash ionable models, howovor, do not go to extremes and therefore we .shall seo loss of the freakish fancies that are prone to make young men's clothes ottentimes ridiculous, All conts close with two, three oi four buttons, tho three-button mod els being in the majority. The but tons are not quite so closely set ns previously, Vosts arc about the samo in design as last season. Some have collars, but tho most without collars or lapols. Trousers will bo less pog-toppod oven in tho. young men's modols, tending moro to tho conservative, straight and less full cut than previously, and nro to bo worn oithor plain or turned up to suit tho proforonco of the wearer. Among tho other outor gnrments that will bo worn this sonson is a loose rnglan stylo raincoat with either the protector cnllnr or the regular, This garment follows so closely tho welUdefined rnglan lines (Continued on Pago 12.) week has boefl a very gayt one, with dinners, card parties and various Hoeinl gatherings. The great est treat, and ono that will long be remembered, wna the concert of Maud l'owell, who is one of the greatest artistB on the violin alive today, mid .Medford wbh indeed fa vored by having the privilege uf bearing her. The violin Miss Powell used is a very old one, having been in tli'iH country for over CO yenrs. It was first sold for $7 In California, later in Now York it brought ?2.i0, and when Miss Powell bought it nhe paid $:i0fi) for it. It i the only I known perfect violin in thin country, never having been mennco, nuct most of tho old violin have been patched ond ropatche'd many times.

First, the Ti lir.vry cotnplctcR the educational eijnipment of the scIiooIk. Noiuly every hrnwh taup'iit may bo supple mented by the resources of the li brary. Seliools, to (he vast mnjonrr of children, can give only a start into tlio renlm of "knowledge, but Hie library can farther and give perma nent value to -the wnrlc of tho school. Ninety-four per cent of our young people never get to college.: 00 per cent never go to school nfter the use of 14 years. They havo to be "breadwinners," ,nnd the schools are nble to furnish them with the tools for further education. If tho vapt fields of literature are to bo withhold boenno of tho lack of a library, they mny bo likened unto a workman supplied with tools with out tho lumber with which to build a house. Second Tho library' exerts a cer tain moral effect. It keeps tho boys and girls off tho streets, from the compnny of tho idle and vicious. At the ages from 10 to 15, when tho imnginntion is awakening, children nro inveterate renders, devouring any literature put in their wnv, from 1 1 1 "nonny dreadfuls" to noble books of biogrnphv.

The Jews celebrate it as the patfsover. To Anglo-Saxons it was a festival to spring, when plant life emerges from its winter's sleep. Before the coming of the Messiah all nations worshipptd a bone, ever since the Chris tians adopted the day. The festival is celebrated all over Chris tendom as the promise fulfilled. The early Christian knew naught of it, but some of the Inter .ones, or their fathers, saw the Master in the flesh. Some of them no doubt could tell from ac tual knowledge of his appearance, the tones of his voice, the maj esty of his presence. But as the years accumulated their dust memory faded and bnlos began to gather, and with a deep rev nrence men bcL'au to say "He is not dead: He is risen." and fin ally calculating minds fixed the But tho same thought inspired the half-barbarians of the north to pay their vowb to the Goddess of Spring, for the resurrection of all plant life from the grave of winter, awakening in the breast of poor mortal man was the fervent hope of immortal life after the grave. Moreocr, the hopo s quickened by men of advanced thought thnt the brief period wc call life is part of the immortal life beyond the grave; that this tabernacle of clay may bo laid abide like the clothes in the sepuchrc, but that the soul is imperv ious to age or decay and lives forever. This, then, is the thought Hint opens the door of hope, lifting mortal man to a plane where he contemplates a vistu which uas no end. Why, then, should not this Baxter day be dedicated to "solemn joy!" Why should it not be garlanded with sweet flowers T Why should it not bo bailed with all tho ostentatious music of or can and choir! But beyond this, every sincere thinking mortal will try to be on each succeeding Easter in this journey we call life more worthy to celebrate Easter until the final promotion comes that he may be more fit to accept it. -Moreover, men's hearts will be softened and exalted accordingly in contemplating those divine words, "He is risen; he is not here." This is indeed the bridge of hope over which mortal man expects to pass to immortality. So bring out the choicest flowers, sing the grandest anthems until earth's music rises to join the angelic .hrong in one grand triumphant song, "He Is Risen." -M- Passed.
