OREGON CITY COURIER, OREGON CITY, OREGON, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1916. 3 THE FRSH1S !Mi It is interesting to follow the trend of fashion each season, to note how surely and completely we come to ap rove of even the most decided change after it has been presented to us in at tractive guise, at different times and on various occasions. It surely does seem, -too, upon looking back some few years, that each season's changes are for the better. . For instance, the full Special TO) 3 teste skirt; how we all poo-pooed it when the whisper first began to circulate that it was to be revived, and that our trim, youthful narrow skirt had had its day. -Today, however, the full skirt is one of the approved features of the modes, and is still growing fuller. We smile upon it approvingly now, and what, at its first appearance was looked upon as bulk and clumsi ness, is now considered quaint and daintily feminine. Ribbon as Trimming ' Ribbon is being used profusely as trimming on both hats and frocks. It ranges in width from the inch-wide faille or moire banding, girdling the waist of the severe little frock of taf feta or serge, or forming the perky cockade on the chic chapeau, to the wide satin, moire or taffet ribbon which forms the entire skirt or bodice of the dance frock or dinner dress. In many of the new dinner and evening dresses ribbon bows of all descriptions are used for trimming; there are per ky little bows, wide, graceful bows, simple bows with flying ends tacked on to bodice and skirt at various angles. Mme. Jenny is particularly given to IT ' ribbon trimmings; some of her dainty dresses have their sheer, full skirts banded around the bottom with wide metal-edged ribbons, giving them a most effective appearance. Jumpers Still in Vogue For late spring and early fall, there is nothing quite as satisfactory as the jumper dress of taffeta, serge, or a soft, lightweight wool. Worn with guimpes, or over the regulation shirt blouse of crepe de Chine, crepe Georg ette, or taffeta it makes an attractive costume for street and general day time wear, perfectly suitable without coat or other wrap. Such a dress has all the appeal of a one-piece frock, with the added attraction of being easily freshened and changed by he addition of a contrasting guimpe or underblouse. One of the most at tractive of these jumper dresses is il lustrated here, developed in black taf feta, with accompanying underbodice of white crepe Georgette. The high collar, smart sleeve, and flaring skirt present a pleasing picture. The sec ond frock is also in jumper effect; one of the dainty ribbon girdles, with long, flying ends and small cravat bow CI On account of the unusual stormy weather, which is general throughout the country, our shipments of New Spring Cloth ing has been tied up in some of the numerous blockades on the railroads, and no one knows just when they will arrive.

The skirt is unusual and new, and the juniper particularly simnlfi and smart of cut. This idea is nicely suited to either taffeta, or a fine serge. The open throat, wnicn will nrobablv continue in favor dur ing the summer, is an attractive de tail of the underblouse of crepe de Chine.. A Word on Collars and Capes. "Collets." as they call those trim, cape-like collars introduced this sea son, are features of many of the new est frocks and blouses. One of the newest "collets" graduated from a narrow frill about the neck to a deep cape extending quite to the waist. These cape-like collars, resembling the capes on a coachman's coat, are among the latest and most approved of the new dress details; they are especially effective on frocks of taffeta and satin. Variety in Sleeves The drop-shoulder and full sleeve is a feature of many of the new frocks; in fact, the sleeve is the point, it would seem, where designers and dressmak ers are expending most of their in genuity. Many original, attractive notions areb eing carried out in the cuff, in the trimming, and in the shoulder line. Fulness is a decided feature, and many effective methods of trimming are being resorted to; for instance, stiff little ruffles and frills and old-time quillings appear, lending an air of 1840, which is quite in keep ing with the full skirts and other features of this period daily being introduced. The Youthful Silhouette There were many of us who be moaned the passing of the slender skirt because of its youthful air, but Fashion has taken care of this, too, in her new rulings. The flare of the skirt and coat, the suggestion of a slender waist, the shortness of the skirts, topped effectively by a perky high hat, very close fitting, and com- pleted with trim, well-fitting foot wear, is quite as youthful and tnm, and far more comfortable than the pipe-stem skirt in which a natural stride was utterly impossible. TALISMAN OF THE CELTS. Romance of the Lla Fall, Curious Piece of Stone. In every Btrongly Irish newspaper, either iu America or In Ireland, there Is the oft repeated threat: "Walt, until we recover the Lla Fall. Then Ire land will become a republic." And the readers have asked again and again: "What Is the Lla Fall? Where is it. and what Is Its magic power?" Those who remember iha Fenian' fiasco, some years ago, will recall the bat tlecry of the troops, "Ho, for the Lla FaiH" The recovery of this Celtic talisman, however,- would Involve something more than a victory over some outlying province of Great Brit ain, for It Is a part of the coronation chair in Westminster Abbey. It 1b a curious piece of stone, a little more than two feet long, and Is said to be the Identical stone on which Jacob rested his bead when he had his mar velous dream. It was taken to Ire land, according to tradition, before the Christian era, and Its removal from that island meant the death of liberty and Independence to the Celt. After a century of possession It was conveyed to the Ionian islands, to be used In a coronation ceremony, and was never recovered. The kings of Scotland seized and held It as their mascot By Edward I. It was carried to London among the spoils of war when the Scottish kingdom began to totter. The son of Edward attempted to restore the stone to the Scotch, but already it had taken such bold on the superstition of the English that they feared for their country, and a mob prevented its restoration. Exchange mum spnere." Dut oniy when they to ter the "hydrogen sphere," und most of them are dissipated before reaching the nitrogen atmosphere. The largest fireballs, however, penetrate deeper and may reach the earth or explode not far above It. Dr. Wegener finds that the meteors that penetrate deep enough pass through three color stages viz, yellow white, green and deep red. The great majority exhibit only the first stage, In which the color (white, yellow, sometimes reddish) Is that of the in candescent meteor itself. The green stage Wegener believes to be due to the incandescence of the hydrogen through which the meteor Is passing, while the deep red stage is due to the incandescence of nitrogen In the lower atmosphere. Thrill of Being Wet. There Is something rudimentary and fundamental about having water splashed down upon one and getting completely and delicious); wet not damp, not moist, but wet, wringing wet. You yourself when a child never enjoyed anything so much as your first drenching in an unforeseen and un avoidable rainstorm the thrill of be ing wet, the cool drive of the water on your nose, into your sleeves and down your neck, and the Joyous slush of soaked, water logged boots. Even the tedium of being rubbed with alcohol, bundled up and warned you would catch your death did not diminish the event You voted It better than the time you fell off the boat dock; it last ed longer. Atlantic. "Most original and attractive job I ever received," says one of the patrons of the Courier job department COLORS OF METEORS. Three 8tages Through Which They . Pass to Reach the Earth. An article by Alfred Wegener in the Scientific American offers an explana tion of the marked difference of color observed In meteors. Up to n alti tude of about forty-flve miles the prln cipal constituent of the earth's atmos phere is nitrogen. A second stratum of the atmosphere, extending up to about 125 miles, consists mainly of hy drogen.

I never realized before bow rare in deed is the real home the temple rear ed to house a family life, with Its altar dedicated to parenthood. I saw that it is not enough to have furniture "good," to have colors "safe," not enough to show a pretty, well appoint ed house to the world. A real borne must be a setting for a living, loving, sorrowing and conquering man and woman. It is not enough to study tex tures, plans and building materials. It is Just the old story of the letter and the spirit The creative spirit can make any borne beautiful, but the most letter perfect bouse Is a dead shell un less it houses loving, growing life.

SUICIDE ATTEMPT MADE Mrs. Delia Mann, of Molalla Section, Turned over to Mother's Care Mrs. Delia Mann, 19 years of age, who has lived in the Molalla country, attempted last week to take her own ' life, and on Monday was brought to : the county seat for examination as to her sanity. The young woman told I the county judge and the medical ex aminers that her husband had threat ened to kill her. At the request of her mother, who came out from Portland to the hear ing, the young woman was turned over The Footmen's Gallery. There was in one part of the thea ter where In bygone days smoking was permitted the footmen's gallery, where servants In attendance on mas ters visiting the theater were admit ted free. But the occupants of the footmen's gallery were so noisy and they so frequently hissed out of ex istence plays that their masters ap proved of that the privilege was with drawn, and the gullery became the "shilling gallery," which bns kept op to a great extent the traditional privi lege of outspoken criticism originally exercised by footmen. London Chron icle. Rich as Croesus. The boys were bragging about their parents. "I bet my father is richer than your father." said one. "He has to pay lots and lots of money for taxes every year." "That's nothing," retorted the other. "My father is so rich that be can af ford to hire a lawyer to fix things so be don't have to pay any taxes." St Louis Post-Dispatch.
