Popular Materials and Designs for
Evening and Reception
Wear.

Lace gowns are thought exceedingly
smart for reception wear, and can be
either all black or all white, while there
are sOIae most attractive models in the
black lace over a white or eOlOred lin
ing. says Harper's Bazar. Black and
white effects, however, are not thought
so smart as they we're. Black, white
or cOlOred crepe de chine, crepe de Paris
and the various weayes Of crepe are
much in demand for reception gowns,
but are made up with 50 much lace that
there does not seem to be any reason
for calling them crepe de chine gowns
The odd lowered taHeta silks in the
light and most peculiar Of shadings are
also in style, with plated OF founced
skirts. One model OF pale mauve and

Meandering Through Life.

dream of mine to become a farmers
wife. and meander with him down
life's pathway" p" says an exchange.

meanders off to town on one of his
periodicals and leaves his tootsie
wootsie without fuel to burn and
she has to do a double shuttle with q
cake walk between times to keep
from losing this mortal coil via the
freezing route, extract the lacteal
fluid from the heifer, chased the
obstreperous calf all over a 2O-acre
pasture, through three feet of dewy
grass on a dewy morn, swill the

farmers life are not what they have

AT the Opera House.

Last night the Spooner Dramatic
Co. presented the spectacular play
"Ben Bolt, the Sailor" and not
withstanding the wintry weather, a
large audience was present. The
play is entertaining, instructive
with enough touches of the comic
in characters and situations to make
IL highly amusing. The plot is
clear, the plotters shrewd and the
climax gratifying to all. Miss AL
lie Spooner was never more advan-
tageously placed than in the role of
Jessie Gordon, the heiress. Frank
Dudley gave an excellent interpre-
tation of the character of Ben Bolt.
All the other members of the com
pany were well up in their lines,
and gave Miss Spooner and Mr..
Dudley excellent support.
The bill for this evening is "The
Fight for a Million" a purely com
edy attraction. One Of the speciality
features tonight will be a kaleid-
oscope dance by Miss SpoOner.

SCHOOL TRUSTEES MEET
County ORGANIZATION Effected
and Officers Elected.

Some time ago County Superin-
tendent CriGdle issued a call for all
the school trustees in the county to
meet in his office last Saturday for
the purpose of organizing a county
association. In response to the call
trustees representing about 20 dis
tricts manifested enough interest in
the welfare of the county's schools
to brave the muddy condition of the
roads and attend.
A permanent organization was eff
fected by electing the following
officers: President, F. L. Reeves,
Sardis; First Vice-President, ]. B.
Griggs, Boyce; Second Vice Presi-
dent, W. A. Nichol, Italy; Third
Nice-President, j. A. Sweatman,
Ennis; Fourth ce-President, J. T.
Muse, Forreston; Fifth Vice Presi
dent, S. r. Reece, Midlothian; Sec
retary c. A. Stephenson, Waxa-
hachie.
On motion it was decided to hold
the hrst regular meeting of trustees
in Waxahachie on July 80 All
trustees in the county are expected
to attend this meeting.
a program committee was ap-
pointed which is composed of the
President, Secretary and County
County Superintendent.
Prof. J. ID. Coghlan, of Midlothian,
made most excellent talk on "Our
Present School Policy"
President Reeves also talked.
Out of the districts represented at
this meeting their census trustees
were appointed by County Superin-
tendent Criddle, who instructed them
relative to the next census.

THE SUNNY SIDE OF LIFE
Subject OF an Excellent Lecture
by DR.. James Hedley.

Prof. w. w. Campbell, director of
the department Of music at Trinity
University, and manager of the
University lecture course, has given
to the citizens of Waxahaehie sew
eral high class entertainments this
season, but the best of all was the
lecture last night by Dr.. James He'd
ley. The elements appear to have
conspired to detract from attend
ance on the various entertainments
given at the University and last
night was the worst of oil. But de-
spite the mud and slush quite a
large audience heard the lecture of
DR.. Hedley. He is one of the most
versatile and entertaining platform
orators appearing before the Amer
lean public. The subject of his lee
ture last night was the sunny Side
of Life" The lecture was full of
good things, noble thoughts cast in
poetic and eloquent language, and
fairly bubbled over with humor. It
was IA philosophical discussion of
happiness, its advantages and the
means of acquiring it. All who
heard the lecture last night unite in
pronouneing IL superb entertain
ment. Prof. Campbell has not
spared money to give the people of
Waxahaehie first-class entertain
ments and up to date he has lost
money on each and every one of
them. He remarked last night to
the reporter that II his pupils had
not come to his assistance he would
have lost heavily on the entertain
ment given by Edward Baxter
Perry. So highly did the pupils APP
preciate this wonderful musicians
recital that they helped make up the
loss sustained by Prof. Campbell
without reluctance. There are sew
eral numbers in this course yet TO
come, among the number being the
Imperial Bell Ringers.
Before DR.. Hediey began his lee
ture last night the reporter, through
the courtesy of DR.. Kirkes, presi-
dent Of the University, was shown
through the chemical labratory, rec
itation rooms and the presidents
private office. Trinity University is
today one ot the best equipped in
stitutious Of learning in the South
