purity, from which it never fails to
emerge victorious; it is here, if any
where, that marriage becomes not the
mere union of one party to another,
the one superior, the other inferior,
but a meeting of c0uls, one with the
other, so that their original and sep
arate identity is lost, and there ap-
pears instead a new and dual creature,
the married pair Invested of the faults
and composed of the eXcellencies of the
originals of both. This ideal condition
of marriage is perhaps not fully at
tanned even among the middle classes,
but it certainly approaches it more
nearly there than elsewhere. And, as
society, throughout the distant ages
gradually perfects its form by becom-
ing homogeneous, so will the perfect
marriage, now, also, too rare, become
the universal heritage Of our race.

one of the witnesses to the application
of John Erickson for naturalization pa
pers, he being the first to apply for final
papers under the new federal law. Be
fore the new law went into effect, Mr..
Streeter signed scores of applications as
a witness for aliens. Mr.. Streeter took

said he overlooked the fact that it was
necessary to take out the second ones be-

White Neapolitan straws and coarse
leghorns seem to lead among hats for
the south.
Panama straws dyed in various
shades will be used for morning hats
with plain suits.
If the empire dress is worn the
coiffure should correspond in style or
the charming effect is decidedly les
sened.
Lovely novelties are the sheer @atiste
fichus, with embroidered scallOped
edges and long, graceful flower designs
in convent work.
One can now get wide belts of pony
and caracul fur, mounted with gold
buckles. They are for cold weather
wear, to exc out the short fur jacket.
A very pretty French bag is Of soft
gray suede, with line of silver and
greendaisies embroidered along the top
edge, instead of a stiff metal mount
ing.
Swapping, stitching and bit of hand
embroidery are used as trimming for
many of the little girls coats. Braid
ing is seen occasionally, but not upon
the best models.
A new veil is of cOlored net, edged
with frills of little ostrich feathers.
These are worn only with hats of the
same color and preferably feather
trimmed chapeaux.
A Partisan authority says that APP
pearances point to the vogue for dark
green shades in straws for the coming
season. These will be closely followed
by gray and violet.
The newest waistcoats are of striped
silk. They have sleeves and are kept
on when the cloth coat is removed,
harmonizing in color with the gown,
and forming jaunty little jackets.
Open-piece lingerie frocks, whose
blouses and skirts are joined by inset
Wristbands or girdles of lace, are nu-
merous among the new muslin models
and are more easily accomplished by
the amateur dressmaker than are the
purely princess models cut in one piece
from yoke or shoulder to hem.

ELOPEMENTs STIR MADISON.

Four WeII-KnOVVn Young People
Defy Parental Objections.
Two society Opponents caused a stir
in Madison the other day. Karl L. Sic
becker, son of Robert G.. Siebecker, asso-
ciate justice of the State Supreme Court
and nephew of Senator La Toilette, is
connected with one of the episodes. Sic
becker induced Julia A. Jackson of Gin
cinnati to accompany him TO the swell
Junior promenade at the university two
weeks ago. They fell in love, defed par
entail objections and were married in
Freeport, Ill. He will be forgiven, but
his judicial father declared that the boy
will have to work to support his wife and
has secured a job for him as a labOrer in
a Madison grease and oil factory at S.
per week. The other elopement is inter
national in character. ROdolfO 3. Lopez
Of the Argentine Republic stole away to
Chicago and married Blossom Law,
daughter of DR.. A. r. Law of Madison.
He quit the university two weeks ago
and campaigned unsuccessfully for per
mission to marry. DR.. Law is a leading
Wisconsin physician and did not like the
international aspect of the marriage, al
though he confesses that ''The Spaniard
seems to be a pretty good fellow" The
mother of the young woman objected most
strenuously, as the marriage will doubt
less take the daughter to South America,
where Lopez has an extensive estate. The
youth was sent here by his government to
study American methods of scientific ag-
riculture and expected to return and teach
his fellow countrymen

As to the tailOr-mades for spring and
summer, a season of light cOlOrs is
imminent. Materials all along the line
of wOrsteds, cheviots, sergeS and their
kind proclaim it. Lovely effects are
found in the serges and cheviOts of
white ground traversed with stripes of
many widths from hair lines up. Stripes
are very conspicuous in all showings
of dress goods, although it cannot be
said that checks and blocks seem to
have lost any ground. The white
grounds are striped or crOss-checked
with soft browns, steel, black, etc, and
in some of the pieces touches of color
are introduced.
Black frOcks are to be much in evil
dence this season and a number of
beautiful models are decorated princi-
pally with laces. usually two or three
kinds. but a little good embroidery in
skilIfully harmoniZed cOlOrs gives a
French air to a fine black gown that is
most desirable Black linens and cot
tons are prettieSt in soft fabrics and
the embroidered swiSses are exquisite.
One unusually effective pattern has a
black ground. striped with closely set
hairlines of white. and is sprinkled with
tiny sprays of lilacs. 1t is charming for
a second mourning costume, or makes
up effectively with bits of blue satin.
At last the right material has been
generally adopted for the foundation of
the elaborate pail1tted frOck. Hereto
fore a wealth of labor has been ex-
pended in decorating tulle with all man
ner of gIimmering particles, which by
one evenings festiyity is reduced to
rags. RiotOusly extravagant did this
perishable quality render the majority
of gowns Of this description. but now
that a strong Brussels net is employed
the spangled gown may be counted
1Don to withstand a reasonable amount
of wear and tear. Very lovely is n
cream net. embroidered in silver and
opaIescent spangles. arranged in wide
border ut the hem, above which heavy
cross lines give the empire character.

1IiddIe-Aged woman In Society.


An entertaining old lady whose
friendship 1 enjoyed used to say, with
some inpatience: Because the Lord
saw fit to remove Banbury is no rea-
son why l should be invited to moth
ing but women's lunches Not but that
she mOurned the late Banbury most
sincerely, but her active mind chafed
at narrOwness of environment
which accentuated her loneliness. In
fact, it is a hardship to be condemned
to One-sided social life. and it is
misfortune which happens to many
middle-aged women anil n@ed scarcely
ever happen to man OF .E5g age; for
ordinarily a man can have as much
feminine society as he chooses, but
what will the neighbors say about an
elderly woman who announces that in
order to preserve a whole and healthy
view Of life she must seek the society
Of men?
1t will hardly be disputed that the
exclusively feminine is worse than the
exclusively masculine point of view.
True, one sometimes hears of the petty
failing of certain classes of men
heroes at sea, for instance, who never
theless, owing to that isolated life,
become fUssy and domineering when
they regain the shelter of the domestic
fireside; and the tales of Bret Harte
and his followers have familiarized us
with the rude heroes Of the mining
camp and the plains. But does the
naval officer, welded to law, or the
miner, divorced from it, show as great
a departure from the normal human
type as the woman who is shut up with
other women?
OF course, there are as many points
Of view as there are men and women;
one should always remember that
underneath all there is the human
point of view, and that people resem-
bic each other more than they differ;
yet, when all allowances have been
made, some well-recogniZed dissimilari-
ties do seem to be fundamental. Ev-
erybOdy knows, for instance, that a
woman has not usually much sense of
proportion; but as to that, does every
body realize how destructive to a sense
of proportion of purely domestic life
is-that life which, for so long, consti-
tuted a wOman's all of living? Perhaps
Eve may not have been lacking in it
before she set up housekeeping and &C
cumulated things. Possibly at that
time her sense of humOr was not sub
ject to lapses. 1t is now; and it is
most apt to lapse when she turns her
attention on herself. For the average
woman is inclined to take herself quite
seriously Scribner Magazine.

woMAN,s DEATH MYSTERIOUS.

Ashland COrOner's Jury Finds Signs
of ViOIenc e-Attendance Lacking.
The sudden death of Mrs. Robert
Burns in Ashland was attended with such
suspicious circumstances that a cOrOner's
jury was empaneled by the district at
torney to hold an inquest. 1t was dis
covered that Mrs. Burns body contained
a number of serious bruises. The cOro-
ner's jury returned verdict that Mrs.
Burns death was caused by a shock OF
some kind the nature of which was I'M
known and that the husband was negli-
gent in not securing immediate medical
attendance when he discovered his wife
in an unconscious condition. For the in
juries on her body the doctors thought
that they might have been caused by
fall. According to the husbands story he
found her sitting on the steps of build
ing near his home and she was then I'M
conscious from which condition she new
er recovered. \ doctor was not called
until some time LATER when some neigh
bors had assembled and they sent for
