In looking over the faces seated at the tables hc realized that ,p, day of the IIassayampcr is past, and he was constrained to admit that ,bc greatest obstacle to the develop. men, of tho country was the IIassa. ,ampcr. and that included the bus. nc.s men who ought to be present on this orcas,on. eff we remember the words Get busy, we have solved the problem of the advancement of our ,nlcrcsis," said the speaker. "we don't appreciate the things we have. The suggestions of Mir. Finncy arc nb. ,outcly of no value If we allow them Go fall on barren soil." He then OK. plaincd the purposes and advantages of ihc newly organized stock exchange, and believed that it would assist ma. tcrially in the development of the county. He concluded by endorsing the remarks of MT. Finncy concerning inc banks, and expressed the opinion that money is too high and too hard to get.
 Mir. McCarty, cx.controncr of St. Paul, who arrived from the east last evening, was introduced. He wns deeply impressed with the personnel of the club, and pleased with his rcccp- ton. After recounting what tho Com. mcrcinl club of his city had accomp. lshcd, hc recommended that com. miitccs should be appointed on streets, taxation, tho public good, and that they should meet weekly.
 Hon. Fred Wright, ex.mayor of St. Paul was the next speaker, and he heartily endorsed the sentiments that he had heard expressed.
 R. N. Fredericks, in his remarks, pleasantly took exceptions to tho TO. factions on the bankers, and said he lid not think anyone had experienced difficulty in securing money if he gave such security as was demanded of 2 custodian of the public funds. Re. ferring to the future work of tho club, hc stated that General Baldwin, who recently visited here, would recommend that tho old rcgimental building, known as Gen. Crook $ headquarters at whipplc, should be preserved. The club, said the speaker, should take hold of this matter, adopt resolutions, and forward them to General Aims. worth, the military secretary.
 John N. Ross, chairman of the en' tcr,ninmcnt committed, was tho con cluding speaker. He thought that the banquet should not terminate without accomplishing something, and he therefore moved that committee of five be appointed to put in motion The machinery by which the suggestion of Mr. Finney and that of Mir. Freder icks might be carried out, n plan fo' Inc same to bc submitted at the next dinner of the club. The motion wa unanimously adopted, and the cha'' named Mir. Ross, R. N.

Just another word in addition 70
what was said last week as 10 the
rage for white. II would hardly seem
necessary to say that the woman
over 40 is as free in her use of the
white costume as the younger woman,
for one at all in touch with the
whirl OF modern life has ocular dem
onstration every day Of this fact. but
those who do not live in the great
cities. and do not have dressmakers
who are constantly urging the wear
ing Of clothes that grow younger and
younger. need reassuring on this
point
There is no denying that there has
been a revolution In dress for elderly
women. We say revolution. but per
haps il would be better to use the
term revival. for women OF ye olden
time did not wear the somber clothes
Of the chimney corners because they
were past 40. In fact in those days
they led things with a high hand and
set the fashions. and true It is that
there is a suspicion that they dressed
entirely too much for their age. And
to-day there is heard the same kind
of gossip. but there is no reason what
ever for a young woman OF 40 don
ming somber clothes, and as 10 the
wearing OF white. II is in the best OF
taste. and generally most becoming
There Is no reason whatever for her
to wear clothes that differ in any re-
spect OF color or style or fabric from
those the younger woman wears. The
only injunction being that they must
be made in becoming style.
When a woman gets too old for
pink. blue and majenta. she rightfully
adopts white and grey for her own.
But this age is not anywhere near 40.
It comes in somewhere near IS or 60.
1t is only a question OF time when
women everywhere will get used to
the verdict that black is necessary
for mourning and for nothing else. but
as we stated last week even in the
matter of mourning there is change
taking place and white is coming into
favor.

After the last two reunions an epi-
demic of weddings broke out. A mat
rimonial wave seemed to sweep
through the ranks of the society and
claimed for its victims many Of its
faithful officers. who rendered their
designations and became beaedicts.
A number of bachelor girl clubs in
central Illinois are the outgrowth OF
the bachelors reunions. Prominent
among them is the Hillsboro Bachelor
Giris' club. Of Hillsboro, which dates
its organization back several years.
It is composed OF wealthy, hand
some, and talented young women OF
nillsboro, and all are members OF
prominent families in Montgomery
county. Quite a friendship exists be-
tween the two associations, and sew
eral weddings between its members
have resulted.
The present officers Of the associa-
ton are c. P. Hamlin, president; G. d.
Scott, first vice president; William
y. Alden, second vice president; Fred
W. Ernst, secretary, and George Hell
derbrandt, treasurer.

A SOCIETY OF BACHELORS

The ranks became so depleted from
this meeting that before another
could be held Il became necessary to
reorganize the society, which was
done. The reunions. held on Aug 10,
1904, and on Aug 16, 1905, were most
successful.
Fully 10000 people were in attend
ance at each Of the gatherings, and
unique programmes portraying the ex-
istence of bachelor we're success
fully carried out.
On these occasions, as on previous
ones, every member wore yellow
badge upon which was inscribed the
motto Of the order. None that ! love
more than myself
At the last reunion the prize OF the
Oldest bachelor girl was awarded to
a giddy young woman Of 80 summers,
who. in spite Of her advanced age,
failed to exhibit any signs Of being
afraid that she would lose out in the
contest for a bachelors heart and a
happy home.

the world and not a local set. You
will find that II you are right that set

modish material for the more sub
stantial waists. but good linen Is ex-

AFFORD TO pay high prices for their
waists there are models In madras
and in the serviceable English plaque.
One OF the most popular which we
have seen is one with tha short
sleeves with collar OF either the high
flap rundown type or with the low
collar turning away from the throat.
The latter. although II looks tempt
ingly comfortable for hot weather, can
be worn by few women past their
youth. With the high collar, however.
the waist becomes practical for any
one who can wear a shirt waist at all.
and though the idea OF short sleeve
tailored waist strikes one at first as
inconguous. the actual hing Is really
very attractive.
AS to frocks. soft silks. radlums.
foulards. etc. are in favor. The Pc
king stripe radiums are vely popular.
and there are many charming small
designs in the new foulards combin-
ing shadow stripes and dots with
printed and broche figures IN one har.

Lace enters into the trimming Of al-
most all OF these frOcks, and new ef-
fects are obtained by the insetting OF
lace and the use OF silk bands or
motifs applied over this lace. or by
the use OF soutache braiding over in
