CORONATION GOWNS ARE
GORGEOUS AND ARTISTIC
Rich Silks and Satin, Velvet, Ermine, Dainty Lace and Handsome
Trimmings Used in the Modiste's Creation of
': ne Royal Robes
One of the plcaaant feature of the
regatta that will linger long In the
memory of tha Indlea wHI be the beau
tiful gowna and rob that Queen Fran
cea will wear during her brief reign
over the city. To aay that tbeaa gar
ment are gorgeoua la but to exprcaa In
ficbli; language tha rich and coatly
creation of tree modinte'a art that have
txen muda by tha royal tailor. The
art In tic, elegance of the entire wardrobe
cannot be adequately described; It
miiKt be aeen to be appreciated. Aa
torla la noted for Ita beautiful women,
iimj tha function that are a feature
of the aociul life of tbe city each aeaaon
arm alway attended by beautifully
gowned women. Mixi Thomaa haa been
provided with gown that are fit to
grace tha moat brilliant function ever
held In the United State. Phe will be
utiucen to whom every vlnltor and resi
dent will be proud to pledge allegiance.
Her awoct diapoaltlon; her regal bear
ing, an 1 winaome manner combine to
endear her to the hear la of alb
The rob,- that Mlns Thomaa will wear
fit her coronation are delightful to gaze
upon. The skirt la of white satin,
Iraped with exqulalto white lace, trim
med with silver that scintillates In the
Mimshine like the glitter of crystal, ft
will be worn with a train of purple
velvet. Id feet long, lined with white
satin and trimmed with royal ermine
ii ml silver atar applique. This la to
lie worn with a beautiful bodice, trim
med with ellver; with thla ' costume
yuecn Franeee will wear a collar of tbe
Queen Elisabeth period, trimmed with j
tienrls and silver law
Tha court dress, that will be worn at
the regatta ball on Wednesday evening
and again at "he public reception at the
home of Mra. W. O. Wilkinson on Tburs
duv night. Is designed after the court
dresace of modern Europe. The bodice
is cut low, with elbow sleeves; the
the skirt is made of a fluffy, silver
spangled material over rhlte satin, and
tbe train la of rich white brocade silk,
lined with pal blue autin and trimmed

And then there ia a wealth of petti
coal and furbelows, and all the soft
linen that delight the feminine eye.The
hoes and gloves and bats are dream
of Joy, everything being truly fit for a
iucen to wear. The wardrobe Is un
doubtedly one of tne most gorgeous
ever designed by an Oregon mod lute,
nnd If Queen Frances Is not the envied
of her sex during the regatta It will
be because the women of Astoria, e
peclallr the young women, are prouder
of their queen than they are ambitious
to posse such dainty garments.

fuses to be buried ia character." This

It can never be burled. It stays about
the home when hi footsteps sre heard

where he wa a known. Hence we
should take care to build into our char
acter only beautiful things.
One writer says that divorce would
be entirely done away with if married
couple were compelled to live three or
four blocks apart, and couid see each
other only by sneaking up an alley and
going In the back way after dark. We
are Inclined to think there Is some
thing practical In this plan. There are
a lot of men, both married and single,
whose past experience would fit them
for model husband.

Here Is the latest Idea of real es

Quick returns Is one of the advant
ages of handling poultry. For the be
