Given California Welcome.

When Miss Sanderson frst. came upon
the stage she was not recognized but
when her Identity was learned there was
a fair amount of applause. But It was
not until the end of the act that Miss
Sanderson received her welcome. The
curtain went up and the little Californian
heard a thunder of applause that fairly
shook the roof of the building.
Flowers were thrown to Miss Sauder-
son by Madame Eames and Mrs Csfau.
who were in a stage box and kisses were
blown on finger tips to the star OF the
evening by her distinguished sister artist.
Again and again the curtain went UP in
response TO the applause. and the audi
ence cheered and patted its glOved hands
in honor of the daughter of California.
With the welcome given Miss Sanderson
after the first act the excitement sub
sided. Between the acts ladies' fair filed
the foyer and discussed the singer of the
evening. There were dozens who had
been schoolmates of Miss Sanderson in
Sacramento and San Francisco. and they
were surrounded by their friends. eager
to hear of what the singer had done be-
fore she started on her Operatic career Of
two continents.
The chief topic of conversation bv me-,
and women was the appearance of Miss
Sanderson. The music of Massenet was
almost lost sight, ,of in the discussion of
the early life of the singer and the gcwns
she wore in the opera.

Nearly Killed by Parent Cranes.

Fred Stickles, of Johnsonburg, n. j.,
saw the nest of n pair of cranes in the
top of tall tree in the Tamaracll
swamp. near his home, several days
ago. Selecting time when he
thought the old birds were away he
started to climb the tree. When
seventy-five feet from the ground the
old birds few out from another tree
and attacked him so viciously with
wings and beals that he was nearly
thrown to the ground.
With his face bleeding from numer-
Gus stabs, Stlckles managed to get
down and hide in the underbrush.
Every time he showed himself the
birds renewed their attack, and it was
not till the cries of their young re-
called them to the nest that the birds
left and gave an opportunity to
Stlcsles to get away.

A small girl looks well dressed in
red frocks with red shoes and red

Pearl buttons come in many fancy
shapes. Diamonds and almonds, as
they are called, from the oval form,
are among the prettiest.
A number of brides this season have
worn wreaths of flowers under their
tulle wells. Transparent yokes also re-
lieve the severity of the bridal gown.
A gauze ribbon, an inch wide, with
a little satin edge and drawing threads
to draw it up into n ruching is selling
for twenty cents piece. The ribbon
comes in all colors.
Low buckskin shoes with white eye
lets and laced with a gray lacing worn
with gray-and of course nothing is
prettier than silk-stockings make the
NEST attractive of footwear.
A short necklace of alternate coral
and crystal beads is pretty. The crys-
tai beads are fat, as large in diameter
one way as the coral beads, but do not
occupy more than quarter the space
on the string.
A beautiful gown worn by q matron
recently was Of pale gray crepe de
chine combined with black Chantilly
lace and silver embroidery. With this
she wore black hat, trimmed with

Very beautiful guimpes are q he

are made on the guimpes, and they
make very easily arranged addition

Fought Horse and wildcats.


FiGh ing for her life with wildcats
and mounted on a runaway horse,
Mary sumter, pretty Bell County
Kentucky) girl, dashed past the little
country store on Taggett Creek. One
of the cats had sunk its teeth into the
horses neck, while the girl fought
madly with the other. A hundred
yards from the store the horse swerved
and fell. throwing the girl and the two
cats to the earth. Half dozen men,
who were loafing on the porch, rushed
TO the girls assistance, and she was
borne into the house more dead than
alive.
The experience she will remember
to her dying day. A mile and half
from the store the cats had sprung
upon the girls horse from an over
hanging tree. Fortunately only one
attacked her, the other digging its
teeth into the horse. She fought rs
best she could while her frightened
steed ran madly down the road.
Her breast and her arms We're ter

Of the claws in her right side and in
her neck. The scars she will carry

Physicians were summoned hastily,
