The Passiue of the q Panama.n

Strangely enough. Panama hats are not
much affected by Englishmen resident in
the lands where they are Produced Their
vogue in England and the United States
for the past two summers was merely a
craze. They were worn by many persons
who should have known better. Panama
hats go naturally with white duck cloth
ing and soft shirts. Cricketing or boating
fiannels will do well enough, but stiff
collar or patent leather boots bring dis
credit upon themselves or upon the Pan
anna hat Neither does the Panama go
well with a fair complexion and hght-col-
ored hair. Your swarthy skin and dark
hair carry the Panama best Girls who
would wear them should have well formed
heads and a saucy air. Strict decorum
and the Panama hat go not well together.
Fat men who perspire steadily and read
lily should eschew them, or rather should
have eschewed them, for fat or slim will
not wear them much longer. The Panama
hat is dying. Any specimens which cost
three guineas over may be kept as Il
curiosity. Under that price they may he

For the Women.

Tt has long been a theory with many
people that climbing stairs is a trying
task and that very much of it is in
furious to health. Yet these same peo-
pie advocate a trip to the mountains,
with its strenuous climbs, as well as all
sorts of exercises in physical culture
planned merely for the sake of exer-
else and its consequent benefit to
health. Then why condemn the stairs,
merely because they are built for use
in ascending a height instead of having
for their sole excuse for existing, the
purpose of giving someone exercise.
Mrs. Henry Symes says in one of her
articles Of health, Under no circum-
stances but those of actual illness or
extreme debility should stair climbing
become a matter of dread. In every
Oher case it should be attended by
feeling of pleasant exhilaratiOn."
She attributes the painting collapse"
which many women experience at the
top of a flight Of stairs to the assump-
ton of an incorrect position of the
body during the ascent and the en-
ployment of wrong muscles for the
work. THE spine should be kept
straight as in correct standing and
breathing poise and movement should
come from the knees not from waist
and hips Lift the knees we'll; hold the
chest erect and breathe deeply as you
pass rum stalI ~ stan. A4'c "p9Sl
ance of these rules ought to make t-e
exercise one of real benefit instead Of
a drudge-fnr it viii be one or the other,
since stair climbing is a daily necessity
to every woman who has household du-
ties; then she need never complain that
she has no time for physical culture.
The same thought is applicable to
many of the most common performances
in life. While one is performing a task
for the sake of getting that task per-
formed a cheerful mind and the en-
plOyment of the muscles in an unhamp-
cred and hygienic manner VIII make
the performance a "gymnastic tonic,
which gets the blood into swing and the
color into the checks" and consequently
a tangible benefit
We are told that the new pedestrian

approved length being an inch and a

hailed with delight by women who are
of necessity on the street in all kinds
of weather for the noncommitIaI So
called walking length skirts have been
an impractical article for days when
there is any suggestion of mud or
moisture-and with our sprinkling carts
In summer, when is there a day when a
skirt just a trifie too long will not get
an untidy rim OF dirt around It's ex-
treme edge, be the sky never so clear,
and the shirt waist never so fresh
Then, too, the least possibility of its
touching the ground, in time gives an
ugly frayed edge, to an otherwise un-
worn skirt. Let us hope that common
sense will continue to hold sway over
mere fad and fancy. The long skirts. too,
we are told will have slight cnange,
many dressy gowns having an inch and
quarter surplus length to lie on the
floor all around in front as well as back,
while the more elaborate ones will be
trained, but with a shorter and rounder
sweep than heretofore.
The little coat collars that for several
seasons have been absent from jackets,
are coming back again, and are often of
velvet. A fancy edge of some sort adds
much to these On some of the boleros
the collar is not more than an inch and
half deep, and disappears in front; in
others it is deeper, and turns into revers
in front.
Reversible fronts have apparently
quite gone out, although one cannot an
swer for their speedy reappearance. Some
bOleros look smart with inserted vests
buttoned to the throat and showing only
a linen collar. This is rather a new
idea. The majority of the boleros close
invisibly, and some of these have a trim
ming about the shoulders running down
the front like vest.
In furs the straight scarfs will be
modish. They are making these now for
the watering places, in silk muslin,
edged and trimmed with fur. A charm
ing scarf is of white mousseline de sole
with the ends laid in deep tucks, with
narrow lines of ermine laid between the
tucks and ermine border. The furriers
are getting out new ideas in these small
wraps for the winter. They are less stiff
than when the model was first introduc-
ed; either the fur is made thinner in
some fashion, or the lining is better cut.
Whatever the difference. the scarf in
heavy fur now wrinkles gracefully. A
pretty scarf is of ermine. with border
of zibeline and zibeline tails, making a
fringe at the ends which are cut into
points. A great many of these garments
are made UP in moleskin, which is to be
the fashionable fur this winter.

Fruit Buffers and Cheese.

In former years the housewife felt great
pride in her ability to make these excel
lent preserves, which she considered not
the least important among her supplies Of
preserved fruits. These were not intended
for sweetmeats to be served on special
occasions or to the guests, but were eaten
more a relish with fat meats, such as
pork and sausage, or with poultry or
game, their tartness and spicy flavor Civ
ing just the zest and piquaney needed
Apple ans pear buffers Were the favor
tiles, and for these the sour varieties of
fruit were used. No water was used, but
the fruit pared and cored, was boiled
down in equal quantity of apple or pear
cider. Spices and sugar were added dur
ing the latter part Of the cooking, tnuS
lcssening the tendency to burn
Peaches, pluns, apricots, ounces. grapes
and tomatoes were also used for buffers,
and the smallest possible amount of water
used The process of cooking is very slow
and the butter requires almost constant
stirring from the beginning. Thick porce-
lain lined iron kettles are best to use, with
slow fire underneath.
Fruit buffers resemble marmalades in
consistency and smoothness. While stir
ring the fruit is broken up by passing
through the holes bored in the paddle-a
peculiar-shaped wooden affair-fat about
long. the sides curving in the middle and
one end set al right angles to 4 long ham

in the attic of many old homesteads and
excite wonder If not admiration from the
young generation o. housewives.

HE WAS SURPRISED.

l.. W. Thayer, of Ripon, dropped in
to the city on Wednesday to visit rela-
tives and friends and to see what kind
of county fair could be turned out
here. He had heard so much about the
fairs held in Marathon county and,
especially this year it had been said
that it was going to be record break
er as compared with any in the United
States, he considered that it was well
to investigate and because he has
great liking for the city of his birth and
the county in which he lived for over
twenty-five years. At first he was
rather indifferent, then interested and in
a few hours was very enthusiastic over
the great display of livestock, farm
produce, etc. He was oblivous of the
rain or the sunshine, and gave no
thought to regaling the Inner man."
so intent was he In showing up the
good points of the different breeds of
cattle and horses and the superior dis
play OF farm produce, to his old time
friends. At the close of the fair, on
Friday, the writer found him wander
ing among the beautiful pines talking
TO them some,nng after this fashion:
"Mhy, how stately you have grown; it
seems only yesterday that | saw you,
sc1i cely six feet above the ground;
now, here you are, some thirty, some
forty and some fifty feet in height.
II the by-gone times-in your infancy;
in the days when the McIndoes, the
Staffords, the Kickbuschs and Alexan-
ders used to have their runners on
your track, like Bitter sweet, Prince
and others and which we, in our adora-
ton, thought the swiftest in the uni
verse-you saw me fly around the race
track on the backs of horses and
seemed to nod your heads in glee when
| came in ahead. But what change;
you have grown until you have made
the Marathon county agricultural
grounds the finest in Wisconsin and
everything seems to keen pace with you.
| am surprised; very much surprised.
MIR. Thayer had not been on the
grounds when fair was in progress
for at least twenty-five years, and it
was a revelation to him. He returned
home yesterday, vowing to make at
least an annual visit to his old time
home, and to set the time.so it Will take

stockman of note, complimented the
stockmen ION the happy event which
they had given, in honor of Mr.. Car
lyle. Among other things, he said
Marathon county had natural resources;
had enterprising men and all that, but
besides she had man for the secretary
of its fair the equal of whom could not
be found anywhere. To this all assent
ed by rising and giving three cheers for
Louis Wright.
Prof. r. B. Johns, who is at the head
of our agricultural school, was called
upon and said that he had been
pupil of Prof Carlyle at the State Uni
versity, and could attest to his great
worth. His tribute to the Prof. was a
splendid one and impressed all.
l.. X. Wright, Secretary of the Mara
thon County Agricultural society, found
it necessary to answer to repeated calls,
and he was, as always, equal to the
occasion.
Carey Jones, stock auctioneer, from
Iowa, said that the hour was late and
all that he would say was that after
what he had heard about our great
state that, with Carlyle as partner,
he was sure that he could sell the whole
state in less than twenty -four hours.
Mr.. Curtis announced that Mr.. Car
lyle had to leave on the 2 A. NJ. train,
and as it was then nearly that time, it
would be necessary to bring the ban
quet to a close. Thus ended one of the
most important as well as successful
functions ever given in Wausau, and
one which all participants will remem-
Der with feelings of pleasure.

AIDED BY CITIZENS.

Stephen Dziszbicki, the boy bitten by
mad dog last Tuesday morning, was
on Wednesday evening, taken to the
Pasteur Institute, Chicago, by Mrs. w.
G. Dickens Since the Hetfner girl,
who lived near M osinee, died of hydro
phobia, our citizens have been aroused
to the danger resulting from dog bites
and so in this, the first case, it was de-
eided that prompt and Immediate ac-
ton was necessary. The cost of treat
ment at the Pasteur Institute we have
been told, amounts to SIS per day, aad
then there is the expense of
transportation to and from. The
boys parents, while they own
their own home and are free of
debt, were not in a position to stand
such expense and therefore citizens
took up the matter At the meeting of
the council Tuesday evening, G. d.
Bartz presented the matter before that
body, and secured an indefinite appro-
priation not to exceed 500, provided
the boys father paid half the expense,
which he was willing to do. Next
morning the father negotiated a loan of
800 on his home, but it is not likely
that he will be called upon to pay out
cent of this, for citizens came to his aid.
That day &. d. Bartz and Sheriff W. r.
Chellis circulated subscription papers
about town, and in short time had
raised the sum of 1925. The owner of
the dog that bit the boy has not been
found, and it is thought the animal be-
longed to some one in the country.
One lday last week strange dog
came b the house of John Fehl on
Mcclellan street. The animal acted
queerly and was inveigled into wood
shed and locked up. Mrs. Fehl sent
one of the children up town to notify
the dog officer, who went to the house
and shot it. After it had been killed
an examination was made, which dis
closed the usual symphonies of rabies
black tongue and intlamed eyes. Peo-
pie cannot be to careful, as anyone will
say who has ever witnessed 1.-the
agonizing suffering of victims brought
to the Pasteur Institute for treatment.
