Do we love our home-folks less when dead than
when living that we deny them decent hoxising? NO.
Let us then, the people of La Grande, bring to
our wide-awake, modern city the greatest advance
in the civilization of modern times the Community
Mausoleum. Let us guard our beloved dead with a
permanent structure of concrete and marble safe
from man, beast or the elements. NOW is our op
portunity! . Let us act at once !
The Community Mausoleum
and What It Means
To the People of La Grande
Sometime in the life of everyone the problem of
death must be faced and since this is admittedly the
most severe of life's trials anything which Hwlpes to
lift the burden of grief is worthy of serious consid
.eration. -
. The people of ancient times thought of their
loved dead with respectful veneration and built beau- ,
tiful stone tombs for them that they might truly
"rest in peace." As time went on and these cul
tured peoples were conquered by the barbarians their
civilization was lost arid tfhle muddy battle trench
became the grave of the dead.
Today we enlightened people still use the bar
, barians' pit, dug a little deeper perhaps, but offering
scant protection from ghoul or gopher.
This condition the Conununity Mausoleum has
come to remedy. To everyone it brings the oppor
tunity to have decent entombment, to have that
which has been reserved for (heroes, martyrs and
kings- . .. . . '

any past discrepancies. The poor,
scant transparent things that last sea

scalloped creations that now hide their

Dame P'ashlon takes her Ideas wlicrcver she finds the.m. To relieve
the nionotuny of "military" hats she has traveled far from tho battle
Colds to the bull rinps of Spain.
Tho latest millinery novelty is tho "toreador" hat, the effect being
obtained by running wide fluted gros-graln ribbon around the edge of
the brim.
.The broad net ruff and enormous bow ot ribbon at the neck also
re recent innovations.
lightness not under a -bushel, but un
der a barrel skirt.
Taffeta for its crispness makes
most acceptable pettis and when ade
quately corded and of sufficient full
ness needs no wireing to give it that
desired hoopy effect
Two lovely ones that seem just to
have been plucked blooming in the
garden are a pink one which is a mass
of petal shaped scollops, tier on tier,
like an inverted rose; and one in yel
low points like a daffodil. All shades,
of lavcndar, violet, purple, mauve and
orchid, corded within an inch of their
Jife and their entire surface, are
edged in silken fringe, pinked rucJi
ings or picot edged frills and quil
lings. Indeed you can just turn your fanc
ies loose on your petticoat and let
them run riot, provided they run
around.
Petticoats of net' and ribbon are
most entrancing. Some are of multi
tudious net ruffles run through at
their headings with marrow picot rib
bons, of Ipale blue, orchid, pink and
maize, while others are made of puff
ings of net run on fine wire alternat
ing with wide bands of gorgeously
embroidered ribbons.
Some petticoats show an Eveliko
penchant for first fruits and boast
a lavish display of tiny silken apples
tucked hither, and yon in a smother of
fiillK. A bright purple petticoat is
particularly delectable with clusters
of bobbing silken cherries growing in
a Burbank manner near the limbs of
a peach.
Chaste white petticoats as frothy
with lace as a foaming stein gleam
with the sheen of wash satin between
their laciness and blossom occasionally
with a tiny ribbon or beaded rose or
French garland.
Frivolous truly are the petticoat:)
made of narrow ribbons sewcl to
gether lengthwise over the hips and
then allowed to fall in a loose fringe
effect over n wide flounce of chiffon
and lace.
Even the petticoat hasn't escaped
the mad pussion for hand-painted
adornment and many of tho chiffon
and delicate tinted taffeta ones for
evening wear bloom in water color
flora. All of the ipetticoat.s aren't as
black as they are painted but the real,
ly black ones are as ebonesquo as
black net, chiffon, lace and jet beads
can fashion them.
Some of the newest petticoats are
held in such suspense that they are
perilously near to pants. For like
pants they are hunir from fair should
ers by honest to goodness regular sus
penders. The suspenders, except that
they n re made of the sumo silk as
the petticoat proper, (or improper it
depends how you look at it), are repli
cas of those worn by our petticoatless
peers.
Trulv with divers pettis clinging
pant like to suspenders, while others
are puffy as can be, it's no wonder
the most of them take our breath
away.
