To Crafty His Wife's Desire to Study |
for Grand Opera, a New England
Manufactures Closed His Factory
and the Town Has Been Deserted
by 1900 of Its People.
woman's desire to become

A woman's desire to become an
operate star has brought blight on
the once busy town of North Brook
field, Mass, and the factory, its prin-
scipal industrial plant, has been closed.
800 operatives have been thrown out
of work, small business houses have
been abandoned for lack of custom,
as the people have been scattered
among the factory villages of New.
England and the streets are full Of
empty houses.
For several generations the Batchel-
Ter family had operated the factory,
which had been handed down from
father to son. and the fathers and
grandfathers Of the last operators had
worked in the factory before them,
so that there was close tie between
the management and the workers.
No strikes or labor troubles married
the harmony, until Mrs. Francis
Batcheller learned that she could sing,
as the great artists sing, and now
nothing will content her but place
In the operatic armament beside
Media. Schuman-Heink and Calve.
She has studied under the best teach
ers In this country and they were
unanimous as to the promise Of her
voice. But a woman, to be great
singer, must go abroad and learn of
the world masters. Mr., Batchel1er
was. unwilling to let his wife remain
In Europe without him, and as he had
always granted her every wish, he
could not refuse when she asked him

some French Hats.

cat the last meeting Of the Con-
cours Hippique in Paris, there was a
goodly display of spring frocks and
hats, some Of the latter being particu-
Iarly dainty. A large capeline Of pale
blue itu1le was trimmed with pink
roses and tied coquettishly at the left
ear with strings Of blue taffetas, AM
other, of lilac straw, was turned up
on one side and trimmed with a thick
ruche of deep heliotrope velvet, four
La France roses, completing charm
ing scheme of color. A pretty beige
hat was adorned with q wreath of
cherry blossom, a big tuft Of the same
blossom yelled in tulle nesting under
the brim on the left side. Never be-
fore has one seen SO much mauve,
lilac, douairiere mauye and purple as
trimming for hats. Brown also ia a
great favorite, as are yellow and orr
ange. Many OF the smaller hats were
boat-shaped. One, immensely becom-
ing to its Wearer. was Of dark brown
straw, ornamented with bows Of POM
padour ribbon traversed by pale-blue
velvet, and q tuft OF couteau feathers
on the left side.
The general characteristic Of the
dresses was great Simplicity They
were composed for the most part Of
voiles, CLEANLINESS and thin cIoths--the
three dominating notes Of this sea-
sons fashions.

AS one keeps up the fad habit it is
likely to broaden. A woman may be-
gin by watching for certain wild flow
ers or ferns, but she does not stop
there. She goes on to something
else It may be birds for as some one
has said: 'Such things can develop
suddenly, unexpectedly, in persons
that have lived along very comfort
ably half a lifetime and not felt the
need of bird in their existence"
Or it may be mushrooms. This Is
rather expensive fad, for while one
may find books on birds and fora at
popular prices, those that deal ex-
haustively with mushrooms are pro-
fusely illustrated and come high. But
1T does not require a very extensive
education in these matters to learn to
distinguish between the edible and the
poisonous mushrooms and then there
is material object in ones pursuit OF
knowledge. In nearly every section
Of the country one may find whole
some mushrooms and they are so cas-
lily cooked and so good to the taste
that those who like them are eager to
encourage the fad Of their study.
Only one warning may be uttered
concerning the fad-and this is for
the sake Of others rather than of the
faddist herself. Don't make it bore!
A bore, by the way, has been defined
as 9. person who talks so much about

Some persons do not need to culti-

that their chief trouble Is to find time

pretty enough to deserve the name Of
the dainty maid from whom they get
their title.
All the ribbons are wide and all
are Of soft silks--soft-fl taffetas,
Louisines and ottomans. Some are
very expensive, while others are way

soft ribbon sprinkled all over with
blossoms in various color combina-

A Dresden ribbon, very wide and
soft, has big white blossoms against
a background of the modish gumme-

of white satin, and tiny garIands OF
flowers are embroidered up and down

Sea Symbols in Fashion.

4 Boating costumes are returning to
the character they had a few years
ago, with liberal marking with
anchors, yacht insignia, and the like,
and with the sailor blouse restored to
its original form. For two or three
years the boating costume hasn't
smacked SO strongly Of the sea that
1T couldn't be worn on dry land with
entire propriety, but reversal of this
condition Is in prospect. Then will be
seen again the maids in yacht get-up
playing ashore miles from navigable
water. In the stores the sailor blouse
is offered as IL for general wear as is
the shirt waist, and it may come to
that, yet the fact remains that what
removed from the yachting rig all the
emblems Of actual sailoring was the
wearing Of such get-ups by girls who
never went near the water.

That was last summer and when an
engagement was permitted, Mr.. Clark

of the fashionable summer resorts
that Vittoria might see how she liked
