SNOW ACCOMPANIES COLD

One Of the regulation Kansas Biz
yards struck Wichita yesterday after
noon. as the result of q combination Of
circumstances which the weather prophet
can explain, even though he cannot con-
troll them. and as a result the citizens Of
this city huddIed around the stove last
night, hoping for the approach OF warmer
weather. while the coal dealer was su-
premely happy. During the storm s
Of an inch of snow fell. though il drffted
enough 10 make soma people believe that
four inches had fallen.
The mercury, which had acted for
several days as il meant TO rise in the
official tube, changed its mind in order
TO be in harmony with the surroundings
and last night it fell below the zero
mark. Up till noon yesterday the tenn
peratures did not vary more than two
degrees. and the average temperature
during the morning was a degrees above
zero. But about I o'clock the atmos-
phere began TO grow colder. and at j.
o'clock the temperature reached the zero
mark AT O'Clock in the afternoon the
temperature was % degrees above zero,
at s o'clock II was 13 degrees above, at
O'clock 1t was IL degrees, at g o'clock it
was degrees; at o'clock, four degrees;
at 10 o'clock. , degrees, and at midnight,
below.
Tho fall in temperature was caused by
the time-honore1 high pressure from the
northwest which Of la.e has been in the
habit of coming to Wichita frequently.
The barometer in the local weather Of
fee shows that the pressure, which was
low until o'clock yesterday afternoon,
began TO rise about that, time. and at s
o'clock last night it was still rising. The
fact that the pressure did not begin to
rise until after noon, accounts for the
fact that the temperature began 10 fall
about the same time.
The snow which fen in this city yes
terday was caused by the cooling of the
moist atmosphere by the cold wave ac-
companying the high pressure The snow
began to fall at S o'clock yesterday morn
ing, and continued until o'clock in the
afternoon. It resumed the falling process
about Z o'clock in the evening. but soon
ceased. Some people on the streets
thought It was showing about 4 o'clock
yesterday Afternoon, but Weather OBJ
server Johnson stated last night that
that idea was caused by the fact that
the snow was being drifted by the wind,
which was blowing at 4 rapid rate. At
. o'clock Yesterday afternoon the wind
was blowing at the rate Of twenty-seven
miles an hour, and to add 70 the discom-
fort Of the pedestrian it was blowing
from the north.
Weather Observer Johnson said last
night that he expected cold weather to-
day and that the clouds would clear

SONGS BY HOLMES coWPER
chicago Tenor the star Of Inc Last
of the Lenten Musi-
Gales.

The last Of the Lenten musieales was
given last night at the residence OF Mr.. and
Mrs. S. A. Mcwhorter.
Mr.. Holmes Cowper was the star Of the
evening and around him there scintillated
with more or less brilliancy local constella-
tions.
Mr.. Cowper has an ideal tenor voice. brill
liant, pure In quality. telling in intensity
and thoroughly we'll controlled. His style
is so pure and so free from mannerism and
anectation that II appeals only to those
who know the difference between art and
its counterfeit. Mr.. Cowper never appeals
to the gallery, never mistakes exaggeration
for intensity, and consequently appeals
more TO the thinking part Of an audience
than to the hysterical. He is an artist.
He is a thinker. He is a we'll equipped
and thoroughly trained musician.
His numbers we're we'll chosen and gave
a taste Of his quality In every direction.
The aria, new to most Omaha people, I'm
Song Can Declare" (Heinrich), was splen-
didly given. The dear old ballads, MY
Pretty Jane or perhaps better known by
the name when the Bloom is On the
Rye" and Sally In Our Alley" Jessie.
the Flower Of Dunblane." Drink to Me
Only With Thine Eyes" etc. were sung In
a manner Wnlch showed that MT. CoWper
Is a past master in the art Of handling this
very difficult, though apparently simple,
realm Of vocal music-the ballad. The Ger
man songs were sung we'll and with good
diction. Mr.. Cowper was most enthusi-
astically received and encored repeatedly.
Mrs. Wilhelm sang two Schumann songs
and a duet with Miss Helen Peck. Mr..
Gareissen sang the 1.-TWO Grenadlers" and

that worthless ballad Of Molloy entitled
'When I'm Big I'll Be a Soldier" Mr..
Gareissen has persisted In singing this so
much that 1t is to be hoped he may speedily
grow.

compartments in her usual satisfactory and
intelligent manner.

tive.

Woman's Work in Club and Charity

At last the year book Of the Nebraska
Federation Of Woman's clubs is out and II
there are those who have become impatient
waiting for 1t they must feel entirely COM

The book will be appreciated especially by
the club women over the state as the execu-
tive committee did not issue one last year
and the changes In the organizations dur
ing the interval have been such that the
last year book had become practically use

The message Of the state president in
cludes the request that the clubs, while

The report Of the corresponding secre-
tary shows 100 clubs now included in the
Nebraska federation, the membership Of
the organization being approximately $500
women. Sixteen Of the clubs have mem
berships in the general federation. The ex-
tent OF the library interest of the state is
shown In the fact that thirty-two Of the
clubs are assisting in the establishment or
maintenance OF libraries. Three OF the
clubs retain the ownership Of Libraries.
The Woman's club Of Fremont raised
1900 and gave It to the library. Other
clubs are establishing free reading rooms
and maintaining shelves OF good literature
in railway. stations.
To meet the demands OF the diversihed
membership two new standing committees
have been added for civic and civic library

why Not BE q Princess charminss

1t isn't such a dificult matter to be a
charming woman, although there are any
number Of women who are anything but
chic or charming. Did you ever stop to
consider what q slight difference there is
between a homely and a beautiful woman?
At first glance there seems to be a world
Of difference, but there really isn't. Take the
average plain woman-give her a good COM
plexion, the vitality of health and a plump,
attractive fgure-and she Is beautiful.
Just those two or three little points and
you have made a marvellous change, and
IL you go about 1t In the proper way 1t is
almost as cas- as It looks. Here's the
recipe-without cost, proper bathing, mas
sage and electricity-cures the worst cases
Of rheumatism, nervous trouble, bad COM
plexion or undeveloped figure. Facial
massage rubs out the wrinkles and the
crows feet. Turkish baths clear the worst
cemplexions. Electricity gives a new lease
OF life and vitality. Proper massage is the
only sure and safe means for developing
the bust. A trial treatment is convincing.
Trained women give the bsths-everything
hrst class-hnest Of cold creams used In
both Turkish baths and treatments. Ex-
clusively for ladies. The Battery, second
