morning; and stumbled along after The

another and deeper vale, then up The rocky
bed of dry water course towards some
rocks, among which those bears cur track

events sworth recording occurred during this

from the rest as additional illustrations of
that remarkable contradictoriness and
ambiguity: of character those animals
under discussion display.
When we arrived, Khudeck stationed us
in positions to command approaches to the
caves, whose occupants We're now out upon
nocturnal expeditions. Bears hunt honey,
and often fruits, by day; but mostly they
forage and get supplies of all kinds at
night. Our plan was simply to await
their return with dawn, and then. firing
the first shots from cover, proceed after
wards as circumstances might require.
We who stood where this rocky ledge
dipped abruptly, had not long TO wait be-
fore the rolling down of stones, and a con-
slant succession of complaining grunts,
announced that bear was coming. AS
soon as he appeared both of us fired, APP

sounds, rolled a long way down this PRE-

whether any companion accompanied
him, Lester sent Doorjun, one Of tine shi-

them. I'd be, pleased TO know, indeed,
of what wild beast the most part of current

A PROSPECTIVE WEDDING.
Miss Pa,ncefote to Marry Robert
Bromley,

There will be a grand wedding at the
British embassy in Washington this
winter when the thirdd aughter of Lord
and Lady Paunccfote becomes the bride
of Robert Bromley, the present honor
airy attache of the embassy, says the
New York Tribune. 1t will probably be
the closing important social event of
Lord PauncefOte's stay at the Ameri
can capital. for he has already passed
the diplomatic retiring age and is to
return to England in the early spring.
He has been at the head of the British
mission in Washington for more than
dozen years now, and all four of his
daughters, except the eldest, who had
been received at court and spent one
season in London before the family
came here, We're introduced into ac"!ety
in Washington.
Miss Lillian, the bride to be, is a tall,
stylish-lookng girl who understands
the art of gowning herself and who al
ways dresses We'll. She is typical
English young woman. She is devoted
to outdoor sports, is al home on horse
back or aWheel, is good whip, and
can hold her own at either golf or ten
mis- Nor does she despise indoor ac
complishments. She sings and plays
and plies a deft brush in both oil and
water colors, and. like all Well-bred
daughters of Britain, she is skilled
needlewoman.
The prospective bridegroom Is the son
of Sir Henry Bromley, fifth baronet. of
East Stokes, Motifs, and is young man
of about rs years of age. He is the eld-
est of five children-four brothers and
one sister-and al his fathers death he
will succeed to the baronetcy and to
the Nottinghamshire seat, Stoke hall.
He was student at Elton and Oxford,
having been graduated from the uni
versity in 1897 and in September of that
year received his appointment at the
British embassy in this city, which he
has held ever since.
The Bromley family name was orig
inally Smith, and the family is not of
great lineage According to an English
peerage authority, the founder of the
family was an Abel Smith of Noting
ham, who was prominent banker The
baronetcy was created for his son,
George Smith. on Oct. 81. 175T This
George Smiths first marriage was to
Mary, only daughter and heiress of Ma
ior William Howe, and granddaughter
of Prince Rupert, Major Howe's mother.
Ruperta, being an offspring of that dis
tinguished parsonage. They had 'e
surviving son, who was also Gale

MUST HAVE ITS COLOR NOTE.
Gowns to Be Frightened With Knots of
Color.

Every fashionable gown this season
must have it's color note. A single
bright touch of color on a pale. dark or
neutral tinted gown is a characteristic
of the year. A shoulder strap OF dark
velvet on white gown for instance.
the other shoulder strap being of white
silk of pearls or of roses. This dash of
unexpected color gives character to the
too inoffensive frocks of gray and bis
cult and white SO much worn now, and
when wisely chosen often transforms
a plain and commonplace costume into
a thing of more than passing smart
ness. For example, costume worn by
a tall. slender woman a one Of the sup
per places one evening this week was of
unrelieved gray. The skirt was in sew
eral tiers, each one of a different shade,
the darkest one at the hem. The coat
had reVers of chinchilla, and the broad
new style toque of gray velvet was
frothy with gray chiffon, but at one
side was placed a brilliant red rose OF
gigantic proportions. The gray, beau
tful in itself, would have palled upon
one had it not been for this bright
touch of crimson which lent life and
character to the entire. costume. .-'
These touches of black or bright color
are characteristic of the French cout-
ourieres. who delight..in froclls of one
color or several shades of one tone
rather than combination costumes, re
lieving the samenesse Of all white or all

pected dash of vivid rose or black, yell

TUNES of the beautiful Vatican silks
usually have touch of black some
where. even if it is only a knot of vel

DIANAs or THE CREAM CITY.
Milwaukee Women Are SkilIfui With the
Hunters Gun.

Hunting is now the order of the mo-
ment and Milwaukee Dianas are taking
down and polishing their guns prepa-
ratory to raid on the fowls of the air
and the beasts of the field Several
have already secured hunting licenses
and will soon accompany their hus-
bands or other male relatives to the
northern portion of the state in search
of deer.
Mrs. Paul w. Rehfeld Of 3SS Brady
street. one of the most enthusiastic
sportswomen of the city, says she looks
forward with much pleasure to the time
when she can fell a deer. She and her
husband expect to leave for Neillsville
in a few days and are determined not
to come back before each has shot at
least one deer. If necessary they will
go farther north than MELVILLE. Mrs.
Rehfeld has complete outfit for hunt
ing big game. She is crack shot, too,
rarely ever failing to bring down
bird when it is within range. She has
never gone after deer, but is confident
that she can do as we'll when she finds
one as she has in the past in bringing
down small game. This is the first year
in which Mrs. Rehfeld has devoted any
considerable time to hunting. Last
Tuesday Mr.. and Mrs. Rehfeld, accom-
panied by two of their frends-Mss

have also secured licenses and will ac-
company Mr.. Higgins on a deer hunt
ing trip to Withee, near Abbottsford.
This will be their first experience in
hunting deer. They will probably start

Mrs Alfred Won Cotzhausen 243 Thir-
