SUMNER IN TOWN
tow to Take Comfort In Your
City Abode These Warm Days.
Some Suggestions About the Room Itself
Bright Green Is Refreshing Color
Dainty Wrappers in Lawns
and Dimities.
FCoPYRIGHT, 1891

We are all aware of the fact that
tnnumerable articles have been written
for the benefit of the unfortunate city
girl who is unable to leave town for
the summer months, and spend her va
cation in those delightful spots so
idealized by printed circulars and rail
road guides; yet in the face of this
fact, shall make bold to preface my
fashion remarks by a few words of en-,
enlargement and advice to this self
same girl IN the first place, let her
not begin by thinking her lot hard
one. On a genuinely hot day, there is
surely nothing warmer than the room
of a summer hotel. There isn't breath
of air anywhere, not even on the pleas
ant piazza where the old ladies sit
with their knitting. 1t is positively
too warm to plan or execute any eXpe-
dition; for dressing, a hot ride through
the broiling sun before the place could
be reached, getting up luncheon, and
all that sort of thing, is worse than
sitting quietly in ones room and en-.
during the heat with the best possible
grace.
End there Is no room so pleasant al
such time as this, than the room you
ere quite at home in. The room with
your own favorite, wOrn-out, comfort
able chair in, where you may stretch
yourself ont regardless Of decorous
ladylike attitudes, prop your elbowsuF
and read or do nothing.
If you have such a room, and musts
STAY in it all summer. start right now
to make it as bright and cool looking
as you can. Remove all the dark hang
ings or somber pictures, and drape it
with plenty of white, light material
dotted Swiss IS cheap and effective.

1t is announced that Congressman
Barwig has given up the idea of seek
ing the Democratic nomination for gov
ernor, but will try for another term in
congress. This will be distressing news
to our friend, Rogers, of Fort Akin
son, who was promised the Barwlg
influence for the succession. Remem-
boring that be was dealing with foxy
Dodge county politician, Rogers should
have had his agreement in black and
white, as was done by Delaney and
Bragg, to prevent the complications
which are now liable to arise. The
Fort Atkinson statesman will probably
find that the contract be made at the
last Democratic congressional conven-
ton will bring him no dividends at the
next one.

The Turner Society Entertainment.
The annual carnival entertainment
arranged by the Turner society took
place at Turner Opera house last Fri
day and Saturday evenings, and as
usual was attended by large degree of
success. The special effort this year
in the entertainment line was devoted
to a reproduction of the much fire.
quented Midway Plaisance at the re-
cent Worlds fair, subject which, it
was rightfully anticipated, would prove
very interesting. The familiar thor
oughfare was produced in retrospect
by painted canvas booths along both
sides of the hall and stage, with the
renowned Ferris wheel in the distance
at the head of the stage. "Old Vienna"
the Libby glass works, Hagenbeck' 8
museum, Dorf der Lappen,
the Turkish theatre, the Japanese
bazaar, the Egyptian temple, the klpen
panorama, the Beauty Show" and
the "Moving Sidewalk" were all pre-
scented for the public's inspection, and
each one had its own peculiar attrac-
tons. Turks, Egyptians, Japanese,
Swiss. Germans, Viennese, ETC., moved
about in truly cosmopolitan fashion,
while Columbian guards and criers for
the different shows were everywhere
to be seen and heard. Friday evening
was given entirely to the Midway, and
Saturday evening the masquerade was
held in connection The attractions
Of the Midway, however, seemed TO be
paramount, for there were not as large
number of masquers as in former
years.
An interesting feature on the stage
Saturday evening was the execution
of fancy dance, the "Chautauqua,"
by four couples ofyoung people, under
the direction of Paul Thorn, in the pre-
sence of the different denizens of the
Midway. The dancers-Misses Minnie
Sproesser, Lizetta Henze, Eta
Schlueter and Nora Schmutzler; Oscar
Meyer, Joe Kerr, Fred Weber and
Robert Kniesel-were handsomely at
tired in rich satin costumes in the con
tinental style, and all acquitted them
selves in a pleasing manner. After
the dance was over the grand march
took place, led by Prince and Princess
Carnival, represented respectively by
Ed. Ste1nberg and Miss Minnie Bieber.
