SOME PEEPS AT New York, Feb. 12. Fortunate in deed is the young daughter of the American Home, who may indulge if Bhe wishes, according to the old-time custom, brought down through the ages, in the' flimy, dainty wedding gown of white, with its ethereal veil of net, bordered perhaps, with an edge" of rare old lace which had long ago decked the gown of her grandmother. Were she compelled by tradition to , wear a jacket of red or block, or cum bersome draperies of silk and bro cades, she would lose part of her spir ituelle charm and take on a buxom- 1 ness not suited to her type. The wedding gown of today has lost some of its dignity with its train, but it has gained a youthful charm which is to be preferred. In the wedding frock today, there is much of the quaint charm and sweetness of grand mother's gown; smocking, puffing, quilling, trimmings are used in its garniture, and it is fashioned of the sheerest, most airy of fabrics and laces. The Attractive Use' of Lace Chiffon Laces,, chiffons, and nets were never daintier or more fairy-like than they are this season. It is to be a season of laces and transparent fabrics. Lace as graceful as the web of the spider, or the glinting, shimmering wing of the butterfly, vie for favor with the more substantial, Spanish and thread run patterns; the sheerest of silk ereperid the crispest of organdies are modish for' frocks. Paper-like taffetas are often used in the gowns of the bride's attendants and then again Hhey are of organdy, in the pal est of tints trimmed with brands of taffeta. This combination of taffeta and organdy will be a noticeable fea ture of all imported frocks this sum mer; it is an usually attractive notion although not a particularly prac tical one, for Americans. The tub, frock as such is not known in Paris. One may say that, owing to the cli D, R. FONG MEDICINE CO. CHINESE ROOT AND HERB - Cures Bodily Diseases With Treatment.

The Formal Wedding Gown For the demure little bride who wishes to tread the beaten path of custom, for reasons sentimental or otherwise, there are gorgeously bro caded satins with a touch of Bilver in the motif. A court train lends for mal dignity to such a gown' even though the frock dtself is consider ably shorter than would have been dreamed of in mother's or grandmoth er's time. The smallest of pages or flower girls are often a detail of such a wedding lending a novel, pretty note. There are softer satins, too. Which may be used for the formal or Informal frock equally well. , Simple Veil Arrangements Quite the most important part of the frock for June, October, Febru ary, or any other bride, is the veil. It is often a simple length of tulle draped over the hair and caught with a wreath or cluster or orange blos soms or white clematis; then again it is a cap or rouche, but always there is the cluster of dainty, waxy oios soms, so absolutely necessary to the true wedding spinit. The veil offers the best way of introducing the bit of rare old lace without which the wed ding gown1 is incomplete, if such a bit is to be found in the family treasure chest: If there is none, the bride must be content to bring in her "some thing old" in a bit of brocade, clever ly introduced on bodice or girdle; a piece of antique jewelry, also will ser ve to keep the sijel'j The Bride's Banquet The bride's banquet mu.v be a stiff formal little bunch of white rosebuds, with its quaint, stiff little paper man chette, or the graceful shower 'bou quet with drooping lily cups and rib bons. . One of our exclusive florists always furnished his brido with a bou- Frock for Bride's. Attendant quet in shower effect of lillies of the valley, white orchids and pure white ribbons; lillies of the valley end white rosebuds are equally effective and much less expensive. The ' serious bride may carry a flower-decked pray er book, if she prefers, instead of a bouquet. Children as Attendants Small attendants, flower girls and tiny pages, are becoming more and more a feature of fashionable wed dings. It is a pretty English cus tom, one that often saves . much J thought and planning. These small anenuanra are picturesque aujuiicus to the ceremony, and whether they wear picture hats, small bonnets, on their heads covering at all is a matter of no consequence; all three are cor rect and perhaps the prettiest and simplest thing of all, is to have the wee, curelv head decked with a wreath of fresh flowers to correspond with those in her basket. Sometimes the small girl's dress is a quaint replica of the bride's own gown, and then again it is a Kate Ureenaway trock dainty and quaint to a degree. New York, Feb. 12. Sing Ho for the Spanish main, for anything Span ish is the main thing in the new trend of fashion. Last season we were all to the Chinese and goodness knows where we will be season after next. At the pace they are going it looks as if the designers would soon be sit ting around on their haunches and weeping a la Alexander the Great for more worlds to copy. Personally it strikes me Borneo fashions might be smart for the sum mer season, but the designers are probably holding theni.in reserve for the winter months. But to return to Spain; even as a Spanish omelette the fashion designers are undoubtedly being egged on to the Spanish model by the resent production of that much heralded Spanish opera Goyesca at the Metropolitan Opera House. In cidents in the life of Goya and his paintings inspired the opera, the opera inspired our present fashions and so Mr. Gpya is really the responsible party. Goya was the father of twenty children, one of the most favored lov ers of the Duchess of Alba and a great artist. Not for these achieve ments however is he now known to fame, but as the designer of these feminine frocks and, frills for 1916. Quantities of Spanish lace, both white and black, are used in flounces on the new old Spanish gowns which are copied outright from old portraits by Goya and Velasquez. One of the French houses offers a gown which is a replica of -that worn by the In fanta in Velesquez' most famous por trait. The gown is dubbed Velas juez and it is wired out-over the hips in the same exaggerated manner a." the portrait. In fact almost all of (lie frocks with Hispanic tendencies Bhow thir wiring over the hips and the bothcer are tight boned and poin"d Ciuo'e, strong tones of yellow, lod, rfj'etn and orange are used to get ihe true Spanish effects and nw.ilillas. scarfs and sashes of gay hues, high back combs and gaudy fans are acces sories after the fact. Stunning even ing wraps and negligees are fashioned out of the gorgeously embroidered Spanish shawls and in some Instances they are even made into evening gowns verily reeking of Carmen and bull fight Indeed all the Spanish fashions are bully. Considering the shortage of dyes and the fact that all the real blue- blooded senontas are raven tressed, this is bound to be a closed season for blondies, and peroxide peaches will all stop trying to conceal their dark pasts. . ' With our characteristic whole souled manner of entering entirely into the spirit and atmosphere of a new mode I have no doubt that even our diet will now smack of the Spanish tend ency toward onions, omelettes, mack erel and sweet peppers. Our foxtrots and one steps will give way to the fandango, our national export becoming throwing the bill and our Irene Cas tle go around looking like a castle in Spain. MILL PRESIDENT WEST.

A huge wall of ice blocks and water, that had broken loose from farther up Clarks creek swept the lower end of that stream Monday forenoon in the vicinity of the Klinghamer and Al bert Hug farms.

It was thought for a time that the bridge would be swept away despite the ef forts of the men at work. Dynamite was made to finally reduce the jam, however, and practically no damage resulted. ' ' In Elgin and this vicinity a good sized channel was cut though . the river Boon after the rain started, which kept the ice cakes moving and no jam occurred here, although it was not unexpected. BOY RECONCILES PARENTS Divorce Is Won One Day and Set ' Aside the Next St. Louis, Jan. 28. It was little Nathaniel Schimniol Jr. 4 years old, who brought about the" reconcilation of his parents Mr. and Mrs. Nathen iel Schimmel, of G033 Washington boulevard a few hours after Mrs. Schimmel won a divorce in the Cir cuit court. The divorce was granted by Judge Shields one day and was set aside the next at the request of Mr. and Mrs. Schimmel. Littlo Nathaniel is happy. Mrs. Schimmel alleged in her peti tion that Schimmel was quarrelsome. She . averred that he had been angry because she had entered a contest for an automoble. Schimmel was not in court when the case was heard. When he learned that a divorce degree had been grated "BAREFOOT" Rubber T! UIS is to tell the People, that Goodrich "BAREFOOT-RUBBER" Value lies not in its COLOR but in its composition. It lies in the especially Cling-quality, Stretch, Lightness and Resilience of that "Barefoot Rubber" which, through years of Research, WE developed to match the marvellous Flexibility, Re silience and Power-conservation of our two-layer-Cord "Silvertown" Tires. . Color alone would have been little help in making "Silvertown" Treads stand-up in the tremendous EN DURANCE Tests which ' the 100-Mile-per-hour-Races of 1915 provided. . And Color alone, Black, White, Red, or Gray can do little for the Consumer who buys a "Me-too" Black-Tread Tire, of imitated make, on the assumption that all Black Tread Tires are likely to be made of same materials. THE marvellous " Barefoot Rubber " now used in Goodrich FABRIC Tires (as well as in Good rich " Silver towns") is black only because we elected that color, primarily for distinction and association with our SILVERTOWN CORD Tires. When, therefore, the usual crop of " flattering " Imi tations sprouts ' upon the Market DON'T assume that OTHER Black-Tread Tires have in them the "BAREFOOT-RUBBER" which made the enormous ENDUR ANCE of Silvertown Cord Tires possible in the 90 to 103 Mile-per-hour Races of 1914-15. No Tires on the Market, Size for Size, and Type for F Type, are LARGER than Goodrich, and none more gen erously good, at any price. 1 " Barefoot Rubber " is now made into Goodrich FABRIC Tires, Goodrich "Silvertown Tires, "Goodrich Inner Tubes, Goodrich Truck Tires, Goodrich Motor Cycle Tires, Goodrich Bicycle Tires, and Goodrich Rubber Boots, Overshoes, Soles and Heels. Get a sliver of it from your nearest Goodrich Dealer or Branch. ' Note (by comparison), the reasonably-low Fair-List prices at which these best-possible Fabric Tires are being sold, on a BUSINESS basis. THE 66 he went to "his home and asked his wife if she thought it was fair to Nathaniel, 1 Jr. their only child, to' break the marriage ties. ' "That's just what I've been thinking of," said Mrs. Schimmel. Then when the child had learned of , . i . i : . v J l t me aivorce proceedings no oruuguT Vmamma and Ipapaf" to discussing terms of peace. : ..' Mr. and Mrs. Schimmel went to the office of E. W. Forested, a lawyer, the next morning. They told him of their mutual fondness for Nathaniel, Jr. and he told them they could have the de cree set aside. They consented and signed a stipulation, which was pre sented to Judge Shields. After signing the stipulation Mr. and Mrs. Schimmel embraced and smiled happily, according to Forestel. One of Mrs. Schlmmel's witnesses in her divorce suit was Abe Altman, a lawyer. He testified that one night ; when he was in a social game of penny ante at the Schimmel home, Mrs. Schimmel lost all her chips and walked to where her husband was sit- -ting, placed one arm around him and took some chips. This, Altman said,, angered Schimmel and a quarrel fol lowed. . Summons; In the Circuit court of the State of Oregon for Union County. Franklin Truax, plaintiff, vs. Algenora Truax, defendant.'
