Wash frocks are not what they us
ed to be. Indeed, you have to rub
your eyes and look twice to believe
such altogether smart garments were
ever intended to touch the water. The
nets, the voiles, the Swisses, and
' even the linens, have that myster
ious something called chic in their
make-up that gives them entree
wherever the one-piece silk dress
may go.
Skirts Overlap Waists and Vice Versa
The treatment of the waistline is
one of the most important features
of the frocks that the big stores are
showing us. Invariably, the skfrt
comes up and finishes with a head
ing at the girdle, or the waist ex
tends into a peplum and covers the
skirt. This overlapping of waist and
skirt offers a welcome relief from
more pronounced joinings and is in
itself a trimming for the dress.
There are skirts with slightly
raised waistlines and plain inch-and-
a-half headings; others with wide
girdles below the heading, and, again,
the skirt is shirred or corded, with
the heading extending above. The
pcplums, too, are treated in different
ways. Many are made with the new
normal waistlines, cut there are
still a few with the raised waistlines.
Usually, with the peplum idea, the
waist has a vest, leaving an open
space in the penlum in front. At the

The Popularity of Voile
It has been said, and with truth,
that this is a voile season. As in
silk, taffeta is the favored weave, so
in wash materials voil predominates,
The loose, cross-mesh lends itself
readily to the quaint styles of the
1915 season. Whole windows of the
large stores are given up to frocks
of voile; the Avenue throngs with
people who wear it, and the lesser
stores on the side streets contribute
their share to its popularity in exclu
sive models for a chosen few of New
York's select society.
One model of unusual merit is a
symphony in pink and white, stand
ing on tho spacious third floor of an
Avenue store. Tho pink is a deli
cate salmon shade, printed in bars
and embroidered in big coin dots in
every fourth square. This material
is used for tho waist cut surplus
fashion, and for tho skirt that conies
up over tho wuist with a heading,
while the collur nad cuffs are white
voile, edged with a pleating of the
pink and white.

than an acre) and furnishing nothing
but the land for $60,00 a year, not a

to supply them with all the benefits

mended a measure that will take this

into the public treasury and use a
part of it for the maintenance of

bridges, etc., and part of it for lend

sage that those who oppose its prin

YOUTH HAS IDEALS
Roy Eaton Does His Share to Better
Morals of County Seat
Having graduated from all connec
tion with the Oregon Daily Journal,
and now being allied with the great
est lighting trust in Oregon, the
thoughts of Roy Eaton naturally turn
towards all that which is pure and
good. One night last week, shortly
after the Enterprise pulled off its
"Spooning in the Parks'' spasm, Roy
was out observing the workings of
the incandescent lights, and noted
thai the suspension bridge was in
utter darknes3.
Roy knew the perilsnof darkness.
Darkness furnishes the opportunity
for undue intimacy, and it also makes
light bills small. So Roy hastened
to his office, got some fuse-plugs,
and hastened over the bridge to the
Willamette side. As he went he saw
sundry happy couples in the gloam
ing, and his modesty was shocked.
Reaching the Willamette end of the
bridge, Roy inserted the fuse-plugs
where they ought to go, j'erked a
switch lever and lo, lights blazed
forth along the bridge.
And the couples in the gloaming
moved away.
Roy says he turned on the lights
because he didn't think the suspension
bridge was the best place in the
world for "spooners;'' but there are
those who say he turned on the
lights because he is working for the
P. R. L. & P. company, and that he
realized that with the lights out his
company was losing revenue from the
county.
EXPERT NOT SOUGHT
Hubbard Correspondent Differs from
Grang in His Wants
Editor Courier: In reading the
resolutions by Pomona Grange under
the heading "Grange Favors Federal
Agent," in your issue of July 22nd,
one is lead to believe that said
Grange has someone in view for a
job on "Easy Street."
We don't need an expert in this
"Neck of the Woods," we know what
to do. ,What we need is help to do
the work. For the past ten days I
have been trying to get some one to
help spray my orchard. There is a
fine crop of apples, but it seems that
the worms are to do the harvesting,
for one man can't work the pump
lever and guide the spray nozzle.
We need help in our hay fields,
but our agricultural college gradu
ates are all looking for expert j'obs
on easy street. Let the old duffers
do their farming, of let it go undone
is their idea. I don't know how it is
in other localities, but for my part
I know of but one O. A. C. graduate
that went back to farming.
