Roman stripes and bright plaids are

Rings on her fingers and bells on her toes.
She shall have music wherever she goes.
~ HERE'S an old nursery rhyme
that runs like that, and some
how it popped into my mind
when I met pretty Norah Iselin
tripping along the other day.
" There certainly were rings on her fin
gers, but instead OF the bells on her
toes she wore great square buckles of
shining silver on her dainty patent
leather shoes.
And very quaint and effective they
were. particularly as the buckle was
duplicated as a fastening for the patent
leather belt-white. this time-which cir
cled her waist.
Lilac was the color Of her frock-a
good. old-fashioned lilac, just the color
OF lilac blossoms, and what chimes In
better with the tender springtime green

becoming to NOrah's great Irish blue
eyes and her shining hair
When will our tresses initiate New
York bay on a windy day-with waves
and nipples and puffs and curls innu-
merahle-NOrah Iselin is courageous
enough to leave hers as nature intended
they should be.
Hair ornaments, too. she disdains.
And 1 don't know that it doesn't look
better than other more deliberately ar
ranged and decorated heads. Heavens
the time Marie spends on mine!

The crossline in this skirt was most
emphatic, for the material used was

heavy. Jet black and most beautifully
worked in a striking design. OF course.

and stately figure to a T. She is a

embroidery. which continued up the
skirt toward the waist in diminishing

irregularly scalloped with buttonholed

The costume was completed by white

worn under a short coat of black silk.

DEPARTURE on FATHER aUICH
MUCH REGRETTED.

Royalton, Aoril 3)-Ths Catholic
church Of R 2yalt N sustained a serious
| less IN tae transfer Of Rev. Paul
kaich to DueI.n. For about three
years he has been the pastor hare and
in that time has endesre1 himself
rot only to tna members Of his con.
gregation, but to the entire COM
mucity rs we'll and tie news of his
traosfer caused profound regret
among all our re>ple. AS token of
respect and appreciation farewell
reception WAS held in his honor at
the opera house Monday evening,
April I'd. 1t was not attended by the
mem bers Of his church alone, bat by
all the mem bers of all denominations
aud by many who do not affiliste
with any church. He was presented
with gold FOB watch cham and a
purse OF $50. He also received from
The Christian Meth RS society and the
Young Ladies eodality the vessles of
the Holy Vat cum. IN gold.
Father kaich came here from Per-
ham three years ago and assumed the
pastorate of Holy Trinity Catholic
charch. At, that time the church was
weak ana struggling and was not
doing the work it was capable of
doing. With the advent of the new
priest decided change was noticed,
new life, viYor and energy was in.
fused into the congregation and the
membership was largely increased.
The spiritual life of the congregation
was strengthened ann financial mat
ters were not neglected. There was
no parish house and the new priest at
once put a movement on foot to build
one and the result was the beautiful
and substantial house which was
erected at a cost of $4,000 in 1905. A
new and beautiful altar was installed
in the church last year and other i'm
provements were made Further and
more important work was contem-
plated but this may have to be de-
fetred.
Father Kuich is man of deep
learning and pious life. He enjoys
the love of his congregation and the
! respect Of the entire community.
Though q strict churchman he is a
man of broad and liberal views and
recognizes true worth wherever
found. He has always taken an active
interest in educational affairs and has
been frequent visitor to the public
schools and encouraged the pupils by
wise counsel and the Offering of gold
medals for general proficiency. His
addresses on special occasions, such as
school commencement, Memorial
Day, etc.. have been masterpieces of
English composition, freighted with
NOZZLE thoughts and breathing broad
Americanism. To the young of his
congregation, to whom he was
''guide, philosopher and friend," his
removal to other fields will prove an
irreperable lois. While mourning
! his departure we all wish him God
speed to his new field of labor.
