CONSERVATION was caused in many fash
ionable residences by the sudden and 81
lent appearance of four girlish figures
clad in filmy gowns which did not leave
their forms entirely to be guessed at.
Fitting from one house to another the
apparitions rang the door bells. and when
, the servants opened pushed quickly into
the parlors. There. In presence of shocked
families. they went through Xmany in
tricate and graceful evolutions that
would have made a premiere dan
seuse Jealous. They also performed some
gyrations that were not graceful and
made the spectators grow red in the face.
Discarded Her Ghost-Like Wraps,
AT the home of a prominent merchant
one of tie silent young women suddenly
threw off her ghostike wraps and re-
vealed bathing suit of cut that would
have attracted attention at any beach
AS the sons and daughters of the house
holders looked on speechless. she ieaped
on a chair and dived into rug with
thick folds which did duty as the ocean,
Their performances being finished the
strangely behaving actresses left as mys-
teriously as they had entered, carefully
guarding their identity by masks covering
the upper part of the face.
Their parlors clear, the spectators
rushed to the telephone and began to
make inquiries as to the meaning of the
occurrences of the evening.
Part of Initiation Ceremony.
They ascertaned that the four eccentric
young women were members Of good fam
lilies and that their behavior had been
forced upon them as part of the initia-
ton ceremony of the Lambda Alpha
Lambda Sorority. Their names are Helen
Brooks. Ruth Dorsey, Alva Hamilton ana
Genevieve Reilly.
ut was downright mean for the MEN,
bers of tbs fraternity to exact such en-
barrassing things of u.s. said one of the
girls who had done her stunt. But we
promised to do our part, and we did it."
They certainly carried out their part Of
the program to perfection, judging from
the angry comment Of the people whose
homes they invaded.
The lambda Alpha Lambda is a ma
tional sorority for girls. 1t includes
among it's members only those Of the
highest social and school standing, and
it's membership is limited. There -

Special Dispatch to The Star.
EAU CLAIRE, Wis, November a.
This week the post Office at Rock Falls, a
little village few miles west of Eau
Claire, was discontinued by the govern
ment after an existence of over fifty
one years under one postmaster, George
II. Chamberlin, who has served in that
capacity ever since the post office was
established in 1857. Up to yesterday. when
the post Office was discontinued, Mr..
lChamberlin was, in all probability, the
oldest living postmaster in point Of serv-
ice in the United States.
Mr.. Chamberlin, is now eighty-twO, but
hale and hearty as man of fifty, was
appointed postmaster at Rock Falls In
1857 by President James Buchanan and
although various parties have alternated
in ruling the destinies of this nation Mr.
Chamberlin has served continuously since
his appointment up to the present time
Although appointed by a democratic Pres
ident Mr.. Chamberln is a republican
and says he has always been one.
He says that he has voted for every
republican nominee for President since
1856.
Voted for Every President Since '56
The history of Rock Falls is essential
ly a history of Mr.. Chamberlin, so close
ly have his fortunes been interviewer
with those of the little village. Mr.
Chamberln was born in New Hampshire
and spent his early days in Vernon,
and Massachusetts. He came to Wiscon-
sin in the early days of 1851 and clear
ed a farm near Briggsville.
In 1852 he married Miss Antoinette
Weston. In 1856 Mr.. and Mrs. Chamber
lin, with a number of other settlers. came
to this section and in June of that year
they settled down at Rock Falls. Mr..
Chamberlin, who was something of a
surveyor, laid out the. town and later the
present village. In 1857 he was appoint
ed postmaster.
Built First Mill in the Town.
In 1858 Mr.. Chamberlin built the frs,
flour mill in Rock Falls and 1t Is still
running He sold it in 1866 In 1860 he
and his father-in-law, Mr.. Weston. start
ed general merchandise store, buying
their goods at Blalk River Falls and
hauling them overland. They had only
500 in cash to buy with and took $500
worth of goods on credit. This they paid

that the tides act as brake on the ro-

estimated with the aid of certain assump-

There was a half-smile on his face that

CT occurred to me that while she was
about it the princess might just as
well have forged the rascars name and

The whole affair struck me as being
ineffective; nothing would come of it.
If she tried to make the duke believe
that she had married Steinbock, her
uncle would probe the matter to the
bottom, and in the end cover her with
ridicule. But you can not tell young
woman anything, when she is prin-
cess and in the habit Of having her
own way. 1t is remarkable how stupid
clever women can be at times The
Honorable Betty understood, but her
highness would not be convinced. Thus
she suffered this needless affront. Par

did not lack certain triumph. And

Her highness stuffed the document
into the bosom of her dress. There
will be no duplicate" The frigidity of
her tones would have concealed the
blood of an ordinary rascal But Stein
book was not ordinary.
But suppose the duke comes to me
for verifcation?' he reasoned.
You will be on the other side of
the frontier. Here are your thousand
crowns"
The barb Of her contempt penetrated
even his thick epidermis His smile
hardened.
Il was once gentleman; l did not
always accept money for aiding in
shady transactions"
Neither your sentiments nor your
opinions are required Now observe
me carefully" continued~heE highness.
