SCHOOLGIRL DRESS
Schoolgirl* with painted and
powdered face* were instanced
03 the most horrible example at
hand by a woman who addressed
a gatnering ot her sex in Washing
ton, D. C., a few evenings ago in
advocacy of more simple dress for
Americas younger daughters. Par
ticularly to mothers having no
need to count the cast she ap
pealed for. correction of the over
dressed schoolgirl mistake, saying
a whole school or community
might oe injuriously affected by aa
example of extravagance set by a
xew girls.
The subject is by no means new.
it has often been agitated by club
women, particularly In the com
mencement season. In some cases
remedial measures have been
adopted, simplicity of dress being
ordained by school regulations.
This, however, is usually in private
schools, not patronized by families
requiring to practice economy.
Then, too, there is B'ach a thing
as costly simplicity in dress. In
the public high school, where cost
ly ways of dress or amusement on
the part of either girls or boys may
do the greatest harm, apparently
no effective means of correction
has been found, if the effort has
been made.
Granting that the evil exists and
produces lamentable results of
envy, emulation, extravagance,
class consciousness and the like,
its elimination would appear to be
a work of education rather than
regulation. The Washington wo
man Is evidently on the right track
The overdressed schoolgh-l will dis
appear instantly from the class
room if only her mother can be
persuaded to the belief that an
overdressed child advertises the
presence of ignorance as well as
money in the family; that, in brief
mothers possessed of good taste
and social position do not permit
such things.
As to the paint and powder, the
<ase seems slightly different, cos
metics being comparatively inex
pensive and the economic phase be
ing absent It may be some school
girls paint and powd?r because
they cannot afford to imitate their
overdressed mates in more costly
respects. It might be hoped that
in this, too maternal enlightenment
and influence eoukl work a euro,
(or the condition is naturally very
shocking. But the powdered and
painted mother who labors with
her erring daughter on the subject
of face decorating will have to
draw some very convincing distinc
tions between goose and gosling.
TROUBLE AHEAD
Fairbanks Xews-MLner: In times
lilco these It takes but little to
start trouble...* People who livo
neighbors to each other may get
along nicely for years and be
the best of friend®, but some day
one of them steps upon the other's
material toes and the trouble starts.
For four years we have lived at
peace and harmony with "The House
of Quality," which is on tie corner
opposite us. They sell potatoes an
we sell paper and ink. We buy their
potatoes and they buy our paper and
ink, and we hare never crossed each
other. Today,, however, in the in
terests of the CAUSE, we have gone
into the potato-selling business, and
bfciore night it is probable the trou
ble will commence.
We only have two sacks of po
tatoes to sell, but we have to sell
them. Beyond that point, we have
no Intention or deelre to interfere
with the business of "The House of
Quality" upon its own grounds.
"The House of Quality" has out
side potatoes to sell, and maintains
that they are the beet potatoes ev
er born, and they charge 12% cents
per pound lor tb«n. OUR potatoes
•.vera MADE IX ALASKA, and they
can meet and teat any potatoes ever
born on the outside, and we will sell
them for 5 cents a pound. We
warrant our potatoes to b§ kind and
gentle, and to not fade or warp or
run iown at the heels We will bust
this outside potato monopoly with
our two sacks of ALASKA potatoes
or go broke in the attempt. (Un
less we sell those two sacks of po
tatoes, we are broke, anyway, for
we have guaranteed to deliver two
barrels of flour to the Belgians for
those two sacks of potatoes, and if
(he potatoes are left on our hands
we see our finish).

FREMONT AND KIT CARSON.

In "Kit Carson Days." by Edward
L. Sabln. we got this glimpse of the
personal appearance of Carson and
Fremont when the two daring spirits
first met:
"In June. IS42. came the fateful
meeting of the trapper scout, already
known throughout the west, and the
Pathtlnder whose great fauie was still
to come.

not knowing his name would bestow
upon him more than a passing glance
Fremont was French. Hashing blue
eyes, ollv© white complexion, thick
brown hair, features regular and oral,
disposition sensitive, quick, eager and
indomitable. Few would forget him
"Fremont was a scholar of both
American and continental accomplish
ments. At this lime Carson could not
read nor write even his own name,
and his speech oven In lSGfl was of
patois wherein mingled Mexican, In

But be spoke lu more languages than
did Fremont himself not only being
fluent In English, French. Spanish and
several Indian tongues, all acquired
orally, but also being well conversant
with the sign language of red man
and of trail"

from St. l/ouls, came comradeship
