The June bride this year will set many
a new fashion. The fashionable wedding
gown of the past was invariably made Of
white satin and its design was severely
plain. S All fashionable wedding. gowns

is the individual preference that counts
In place Of satin or heavy corded white
silk, the wedding dresses for June brides
are being fashioned this year. of such ma
terials as white silk null, chiffon, voile
and organdie, and they show shirrings,
lace insets and much trimming generally.
Never have bridal robes been SO grace
fully soft and becoming as this year, tho
they vary in design trimming and fabric
to suit the fair bride, yet fashion demands
that the wedding gown be pure white, and
| that for church wedding, or even large
formal home wedding, the gown be made
with long sleeves and a high neck. How
] ever, for less formal weddings, it is
equally good taste to have the sleeves
just below the elbow with dropping puff
and have the bodice made with a collar
Hess neck that shows the throat. When
this is done a string of pearls is generally
worn about the neck, and of course the
lower part of the arm is covered by. s
white glove which. reaches to the elbow.
| Flower shaped lace insets form a fairy
like trimming for a number of the new
wedding gowns. There are airy, white
chiffon robes made over white silk, which
are scattered with full blown lace roses,

a MINNEAPOLIS GIRL WHO
STUDIED WITH CARL HALIR
Verge Returned After Spending Three
in Where the Musical Atmosphere Is
spiration Students.

He is already great favorite there as he
is wherever he plays. He is second in
rank in the Royal Conservatory in Berlin,
altho Joachim who precedes him, is so
feeble that his office is little more than
honorary.
Hair is a very sane man., said Miss
Verge, when asked if he had any of the
mannerisms which seem to be the stock
in trade of many of the European mas
tiers. He does not roar. at. his pupils
and he does not tear out his hair by the
handfuls. He did get out of patience with
me at an early lesson and startled me so
that seemed to jump a foot. That star
tied him and since then he has been as
gentle as possible. He takes but a few
pupils. not more than half q dozen, for
he is away from Berlin so much that he
cannot be tied down by pupils. His home
life is delightful and both Hair and his
wife were exceedingly kind to me, taking
me to the opera and to other amusements.
Il only played in public once in Berlin
and that was at an entertainment ar
ranged by a group of women artists.
About 5000 women were present and in
vitations were eagerly sought. 1 was
one of the two American girls who took
part in the program and both of us were
violinists. It is not especially pleasant for
a student to appear in public recital as
the critics not broad minded enough
to treat one fairly. The expense of Sc
curing hall and arranging necessary. de-
tails is very large and there is absolutely
no income. for no one thinks of paying to-
hear a pupils recital And after all the
expense and suspense OF preparing for a
recital, one may receive a mention or not
just as the critics are inclined"
Miss Verge was much amused at the
red tape which bound even the little
happenings of daily life and spoke of a.
dinner at which eleven out Of the four
teen guests had been fined or imprisoned
by the German authorities. One aristo-
cratic dame had watered her flowers either
too early or too late, while another had
offended the law by chasing her pet dog
into the street.
Miss Verge came home earlier than she
had expected on account of illness in the
family and she has made no plans for the
future. 1t is possible that she will go
west to visit her sister and give several
concerts, as her western friends are
rather insisting on them, but she will not
enter into serious work until fall.

.'There is no doubt that American girls
can secure good musical training in this
country, but they miss the atmosphere
which one breathes in Germany and they
have not the opportunity of hearing so
much good music. Think of hearing or
chestra1 concerts for fifteen cents and
the world-famous artists for quarter!
exclaimed Miss Florence Verge, the young
violinst who Is just home from study In
Berlin.
Miss Verge left Minneapolis three years
and half ago. She had studied under.
Heinrich Hoevel, at whose suggestion she
went to Europe to place herself under
the direction of Carl Hair. Miss Verge
had with her when she first went to Ber-
lin Miss Jean Wakeman and last year
Miss Florence Burtis joined her. This
spring Miss Burtis and Miss Verge went
down to Paris for a vacation trip and
stepped themselves in French music. Miss
Burtis will travel part of the summer
and in the fall will return to Berlin for
further work. She is studying with
Stepanoff, disciple of Leschetitsky's in
Berlin. Another of Stepanoff's pupils is
Arthur Strachauer also Of Minneapolis.
The musical advantages and the at
mosphere are what make 1t worth while
for young musicians to leave friends and
country I'm Berlin said Miss Verge,
there are three concert saale in which
programs are given every evening. Inc
opera season is an important event of
the winter and it is rather strange that
one hears English spoken at the opera
house more than German. There are over
5000 Americans in Berlin and one meets
them everywhere. Students have every
opportunity of hearing music and tickets
may often be obtained free from the man
ayers of the different saa1e.''
Miss Verge is very enthusiastic over her
master, Carl Halir, and laughingly said
4 that she had only one fault to find with
{. him. which was that he is SO well known
he is In constant demand for recitals and
Il concerts and her lessons were often in
terrupted by the abrupt departure Of the
great violinist who had gone to London
or Paris to play. 8T
1t is only recently that Ha.lir has played
IN London. The English people were
faithful to Joachim for many years and it
was only when the famous artist grew too
old to appear in London that Hair went.

A p1sHWAsHING CAME.

On Mondays before go to school
wash the dishes. It's mothers rule
So Bridget can sort the clo'es
To help me to get them quickly done
I've made up game that's lots of fun,
And here is the way it goes: e
The forks are voyagers, and their wives
Are the tablespoons and the silver knives;
The teaspoons their babies wee;
Each platter, saucer and cups a boat
In which from the dishpan> port they float
They're shipwrecked when out at sea-
The soapsud breakers dash fierce and high,
But all hands are saved. and rubbed 3tn dry
The wrecks are towed In to shore
In closet harbor they safely stay
Till sailing date 4on another day,
Then bravely embark once more
And washing the dishes in this way
Is nothing but fun. And always say
And mother agrees with me
z works on hand it's splendid plan
To do.it the jolliest way you can.
Just try 1t yourself and see.

It will be a fad this year with many
of the most fashionable brides to EN-
1phasize one color turnout their entire

to be the brides favorite color, she will

Her black silk stockings will be; embroi
dered with sprays of blue silk forget-me

with a narrow heading of forget me-not
blue velvet at the top of the, stock and
forget-me-nots embroidered on the tab
ends. She will have forget-me mot blue
silk girdles to wear with her flmy white
summer gowns. She will have separate
black taffeta belts and deep cuffs, with a
touch of forget -me- not blue introduced in
one way or another, either as piping
and inset or an embroidered design. And
these she will wear with many of her
costumes. Her lingerie will be run with

of blue, either in the embroidered mono

She will contrive to have this one color
particularly associated with her.

maids must. De SelecIed WIFI particular
care, they have. so much to do with the
picture effect Of the entire wedding party.
Big, artistic hats of the cavalier shape
are those most. in, favor this year. They
show the high crown and the artistically
bent brin, and they are invariably
trimmed with ostrich plumes. Soft ruches
of pinked ribbon give a new, touch to
many of these picturesque hats.
A novel idea this season for the brides
! maids gowns is to have them of some
transparent material, made over a silk
foundation, which shows either an elab-
orately embroidered design or design
worked out in artificial flowers. The eff
feet is extremely pretty and whatever
flower is represented on the silk efounda-
tion, that is the flower that the brides
maid either carries for her bouquet OF
has fastened to the handle of her parasol
or introduces in her big picture hat.

Moths may be driven from upholstered

lent way is to put the fluid in a small
watering pot, such as is used for water
ing house plants. They will not injure
the most delicate material, but on ac-
count of their inf1amrnability care must
be taken not to carry on the work near a

"The Burglar"

Although the great master hath
said there is nothing in a name, -
the world knows better, The name
Burglar has doubtless cost the
owner of the play thousands OF dollars.
the play is misleading. There is none
of the blood and thunder bowery style,
although one would not think so un-
less one had seen the performance. 1t
is more truly that style of dramatic
composition that in modern stage
nomenclature is called society drama,
and is lightened with touches of pure
Thomas comedy, which comes out so
strong in his great play Alabama"
The opening scene is laid in the
home of the wealthy. The happiness
of the particular home in question is
marred by the fact that the husband
and father turns out to be burglar,
escapes arrest by compromise, and
goes away. He is captured, and in
escaping from jail is supposed to be
shot and is reported dead. The wife
comes the news that her first husband
is not dead. The burglar, bent on
plunder, visits the home of his wife,
not knowing it is such, and is dis
covered by his OVID little daughter,
whereupOn enSues one of the most
original scenes ever seen on the stage.
The play is taken. from Mrs.
Burnett's charming sketch, 'Editha's s
Burglar" which Mr.. Augustus Thomas
has enlarged upon and turned into a
four act play of great strength. At
the grand opera house, Tuesday night.

TOWNS LOSE THE GOOSE
THAT LAID GOLDEN EGG

towns money should be used.
A. E. Bennett, for example, has
built a road, three miles long, from
Elm Lake to the public road south of
his marsh and expended about $1,000
on it. During the past ten or twelve
years the cranberry growers in the
town of Port Edwards, it is main
tanned, paid over one-half of the
towns taxes and still practically no
roads were forthcoming.
Now it is believed that the cram
berry men will be happy, they can
spend their ST, 900 or 81, 200 of taxes in
better developing Wood county's
cranberry lands.
The valuation of the sections culled
from Seneca town is about thirty
Thousand dollars and the sections
culled from Port Edwards town about
ninety thousand dollars, thus giving
the new town total valuation of
about one hundred and twenty thou
sand dollars.
The hTsI town meeting will be held
in the school house located in the
joint district, number 6, of Seneca and
Port Edwards The first town officers
will be elected the first Tuesday in
April.

MarShfield.' he said, 'shad expended
a great deal Of money in making new
roads and improving the town in
general. It is not right to impose
nine sections of comparatively un-
improved land upon the town when
the people are opposed to it. Then,
too, the people of the nine sections
wish to have. town organization OF
their own and if they feel able to pay
the necessary expenses there is no
reason why their petition should not
be granted. The new proposed town
OF Upham has an assessed valuation
of between one-hundred thirty thou
sand dollars to one hundred forty
thousand dollars and can therefore be
organized into new town according
to law
