Madame Butterfly.

(After witnessing performance OF
Puccinis fascinating opera, Madame
Butterfly" as produced in English by
Mr.. Henry w. Savage, the following
poem was written by Alfred Hovey Bal
lard, New York correspondent of the
Portland Oregonian. Mr.. Ballard said
that he was never so deeply affected in
. theatre as he was by the beautifully
pathetic presentation of MADAME But
terfy"l.
She stands stark still, a-peering out the
pane,-
Watching for one who will not come
again;
The whole night long her steadfast vigil
keeps,
Wide-eyed and hoping while her baby
sleeps:
I'LL morning dawns that pitiful, lone
STARE
So he may come and find her waiting
there
From heart we sigh,
Poor Butterfly.
Dear, little, hungry, devastated wife.
Oh, love Oh, fate +! Oh, maid Oh,
man Oh, life
The ones who trust, the good, the brave,
the true,
The sweet, the fine, are sacrificed, like
you.
This quickening moment of the pulsing
strings,
This magic blend of multi-colorings,
Who can speak the message that it
brings ?
The pizzicato of the violins
Mark well the tragedy of one mans
sins:
Theme irresistible this rhythmic beat

Next In Order of General Devel-
opment-One Hundred Men To
Start To Work.
A large contract was let this week to
Contractor Joseph Wunsch, of Clifsiie,
by Mr. e. H. Ryan for the finishing OF
a number of new streets south and west
of Anderson avenue and south of Colum-
bia avenue. Mr.. Wunsch will lay the
streets with macadam and put down flag
stone sidewalks. This is the most ex-
tensive work contracted for in many
months, and will require the work OF
40 or more men. The time limit for
finishing the work is Sept. i. 1t in
cludes, also, the putting in of sewers and
grading. There is one main street of
about 1900 feet length and FIVE cross
streets included in the contract, which
will embrace an extensive territory.
In addition to the above, Mr.. John M.
Hunter has taken a contract to build
Fairview lane, running from past the
Dodge residence to Columbia avenue.
This ia the first street west of and para
llel to Anderson avenue. These improve
ments will add much to Palisade. Doubt
less number of houses will be built be-
sides.

FASHION FANCIES

Charming as the tea gown was. we
lost it for several seasons. The FASH
ion disappeared about the time that
women became athletic. perhaps be-
cause the short skirt and easy fitting
shirt waist tempted them 10 neglect
che distinction that should be made be-
tween house gowns and stree1 costumes.
For long time the only negligee that
the average woman induIged in was the
kimono, more or less elaborate as her
pocketbook permitted. and even this
was only worn in the privacy Of her
own room.
All this is changed now, and the most
beautiful negligees for both morning
wear, and even for the evening. when
one dimes ZEN famille." are in vogue.
These latter costumes are especially
convenient in the country after a day
of motoring or golf. Rich, heavy ma
terials are not so much used for these
gowns as the fimsier. more clinging
stuffs. such as crepe de chine, mousse e.
line de sole, voile de sole and linon.
They are usually cut with semi low
necks to distinguish them from the
more pretentious formal evening gown.
There really has to be some distinction
made between the two styles. which
may be easily observable TO the mex
perienced eye, for often the so-called
simple tea gown is surprisingly like
regular evening dress of the Empire
order.
A fascinating model work at one OF
the French chateaux this season had ar

DOING UP TABLE LINEN

It is without doubt a very great
economy to wash and iron the table
linen at home. even If we require to
hire help for a day 70 do so. These
articles are sometimes roughly handled
at the laundry. and thin parts from
overstrain appear 10 vex the careful
housewife long before any signs OF
wear would be apparent II they were
got up at home.
The smoothing out and ironing are
perhaps a little difficult TO manage
satisfactorily just at first. but the work
is pleasant. and perfection can soon be
acquired.
Tablecloths should not be put to soak
until the stains OF tea. coffee, jam or
wine are removed; indeed. these should
be treated as soon as possible. for
when they dry into the fabric it is
much more difficult to take them out.
Tea and coffee stains may be re-
moved by stretching the part flat on

After the stains are removed table
