The St. Valentines Ball

The St. Valentines ball, given at
the Opera Hall last Friday eve
ming, was one of the most pleasing
dancing parties ever held in the
city. The young ladies exhibited
excellent taste and artistic ability in
decorating the hall and were
charming hostesSes. The music,
provided by an orchestra under the
leadership of John E, Howard, was
exceptionally fine.
Through various committees
which were headed by the Misses
Elaine Williams, Litta Fuller, Flor
ence Young, Bernice Sanford, Bes-
sic Buck, Ruth Warner, Alice Beggs
and Mrs. Skogmo, the party was ex-
ceedingly we'll managed. The dec
orations of Serried streamers of red
and white suspended above, and
red cupids and hearts across the
proscenium, and draped coy cor
ners were the most attractive seen
in the hall for long time.
A good many guests were present
from out of town. There were the
Misses Mable Reagan, Alice Knut-
son, Elizabeth Franks and Rather
inc Clark, Mr.. and Mrs. George
Stewart, and Messrs. Harold Hub
bell and Hugh Manning of ST. Paul.
From Hudson there were Miss Jane
O'Connell and Messrs. Thomas
O'Brien, Tom Mcmahon, Glen Bat
ten, Will and John Ryan. Miss
Jean Pond and Wieburt Mahoney
were present from Eau Claire, and
the members of the La Crosse bas-
ket ball team were also present.

Memorial to Washington

The George Washington Memorial
Association was Incorporated in
Washington, d. c., in 1898, with a
view to bringing about the erection
of a United States University in
order to carry out Washington S
wishes for the greater diffusion of
knowledge in this country. About
two years ago reorganization took
place, and Mrs. Dimock, a sister of
the late William c. Whitney, Secre-
tary of the Navy under President
Cleveland, became President. Mrs.
Dimock proposed the still broader
form of memorial which instantly
received the highest praise in all
quarters. Under her energetic guild
ance, the Association has laid the
foundation for sure success in the
splendid showing made at its Annual
Meeting.

Lessen Graduation Expense

The twenty-eight young ladies of
the class of 1911, of the Kenosha
high school, says the Kenosha even
ing News, have handed to Superin-
tendant Mary D. Bradford the fol-
lowing resolution, which is signed
by every girl in the class:
1--WE, the girls of the class of 1911,
hereby agree TO lessen the expenses
to our parents of our graduation by
wearing the same simple and mex
pensive white dresses to the gradu-
ating exercises and to the Junior
Prom We also agree not to have
extra dresses for the class day and
class play"
This is a good example for girls
in other high schools TO follow.
The cost of graduation has gradual
ly increased in many communities
to point where some young people
are obliged to forego completing
the high school course; while in
many cases families undergo hard
ship in order that commencement
expenses may be met.

AT THE NORMAL

A travelogue evening, including
an interesting description of the
Oberammergau Passion Play, will
be given by members of the faculty
in the near future.
Exercises concentrating the
birthdays of Washington and
Lincoln were held in the general as
sembly room yesterday morning.
A goodly number of citizens and
members of the G.. A. r. were pres
ent. Music was given by the or
chestra and the glee club and Mr..
H. c.. Baker of Hudson recounted
the events of the capture of ]. Wilkes
Boothe by Mr.. Bakers brother,
Lieutenant L. B. Baker. The story
proved of exceptional interest to all
who heard it. 1t was presented in
such detailed and striking manner
that the scenes were realistic, and
will be long remembered.

Basket Ball
La Crosse Wins by Narrow

The La Crosse and local Normal
school quints engaged in the closest
and most hard fought game played
on the gymnasium floor this season
last Friday evening. The score was
a tie, 6 to 6, at the end of the first
half and alternated throughout the
second half, neither team having
more than basket advantage over
the other throughout the game. But
La Crosse got the lead in the last
minute of play and won out by one

Even with coat suits the coming

The short. straight skirt, high

slightly low-cut neck, although not
new in design, will be worn all win

with lace embroidery, braid and but

BY EDNA EGAN.

m HE etiquette of card parties is
among the most important of
social life, and at no time
should good manners and punctili-
BUSINESS be more carefully observed
than when one is seated at card ta-
BILE.
AS rule when playing only a
strict observance OF the customs of
polite society can prevent the feelings
of some one being hurt. 1t is an un-
fortunase and odd fact that an aft
ernoon at cards will be more apt than
any other slight thing to strain
friendship and women otherwise po-
lite become shining examples OF rude
ness.
The difficulty Of being agreeable
when losing may be lessened for a
woman by F. remembering that she is
playing for diversion, not for gain ;
and also that to fii.d fault is the
height of bad manners.
Punctiliousness is undoubtedly the
keynote to courtesy in all invitations
to card parties, and in the manner OF
conducting ones self afterward. AS
soon as the invitation is received II
should be acknowledged, being either
refused or accepted 70 keep a hos
tess waiting for several days is most
inconsiderate, and not good form. for
to play cards a fixed number of guests
is necessary, and unless the hostess
receives another friend her whole
afternoon may go awry

MOTOR GAPS

IN HE very latest motor caps show a
charming variety of shape and
material and thereby promise a
becomingness TO all faces; but in the
cap lies a suggestion for evening
hoods. Therefore, attention!
A frill Of lace on a silk model has
softening effect reminiscent of the
Corday frill of. summer. A folded
band holds in'the full back that pro-
tects but does not9harm any coiffure
beneath. Chiffon titles complete this
little bonnet.
For evening trips In a motor car a
chiffon cap suggests endless possl-
bilities. Ii is puffed on foundation
of silk. Rosetbes of ribbon are
placed on each side. while a wire on
the front edge clasps the pretty thing
firmly on the head. No need for
strings! Marqwsette, null, net or
silk might well be worked up on this
plan.
A more ornateetype is that of pink
mousseline that is tied under tho
chin by long, broad strings and tina.
has it's warm lining OF pink silk
wadding concealed at the front edge
by n frilling of ecru lace. Lace ro-
settles appear at each side. II the
color should not be becoming, why
not try black, with a deep ecru lace?
All are copyable by even the un-
professional. All are undeniably at
tractive, giving us promises OF look
ing our prettiest behind the steering
wheel.

among other a woman friend from a
nearby town to her card party. AS
she received no word from her she
presumed, Of course, that she was
not coming and Invited another in
her place. At the appointed hour
both women arrived. There was some
confusion, but the woman who had
the want of courtesy not to answer,
OF course, was the one who could not
play.
Not. only was she lacking In breed
ing, but she made a most uncomfor-
table quarter of an hour for her hos
tess, and an unpleasant scene for all
who were present, as many will re-
member.
The invitation should always be
acknowledged in the precise form in
which 1t is received. II it comes on
visiting card, the date being writ
ten and "bridge or euchre" at a GER
tain hour, the answer must be writ
ten out formally. in the third per-
son. 1t is no longer considered good
for to return visiting card with re-
grets or acceptance.

THE NEMESF BELTS

are inset in the center and sides .of
the belts, showing a lining of multi
colored silk. Straps and crossbars
of shiny kid are used for ornamental
tion also. Some OF the belts are made
of soft leather that is very pliable
and, when placed taut about the
waist, wrinkles slightly. other wide
belts take the form of a girdle and
are fastened with long metal buckles
covered with patent leather.
Practically the same styles are
carried out in the belts of suede.
These, however. often show designs
of metal nailheads all the way
around. A very attractive belt is OF
golden brown suede, which slips
through several oblong slides that are
connected at each end with fine
chains and are set with imitation
topaz in silver filigree.

Vaseline for Hair.

Vaseline has been known to re-
store falling head Of hair when all
other means have failed. It's use
must be understood, however or
more harm than good is done. Vase
line on the long hair is menace.
1t catches dust, destroys gloss and
is generally unsanitary. Vaseline
rubbed into the scalp so that not
a drop of grease can be found on the
hair is the best sort OF tonic to root
follicies. Divide the hair into
strands. dip the fingers into the
grease anG rub along the line of di-
visions. Rub until the fingers are
dry and the scalp in a glow. Some
women do not trust to their finger
tips to apply vaseline, but put on
the grease from a machine-oil can,
rubbing 1t in we'll later Should the
hair suffer from this grease let Il
remain on over night and wash
thoroughly the next day with hot
water and CASTLE soap. o Rinse ~

ELTS of suede and patent leather
X will continue in first fashion
~ for fall wear. Without doubt
they are the most serviceable, wear
better and look better for a longer
time than any other kind. The shops
are now showing beautiful new
styles, with all sorts OF fancy buckles
some of them set with mock jewels,
inlaid with enamel or carved in in
tricate designs.
The belts themselves are in the
most part plain; but for the wom-
an who desires a fancy touch to her
costumes at the waist line there is a
wide selection of, fancy models. A
black patent leather belt will show
lining and binding of white or some
vivid-colored satin. Persian designs

Beautiful Teeth.

The worst foe to sound teeth is an
excess of acid in the mouth. Careful
brushing and rinsing the mouth out
with little bicarbonate of soda in a
glass of water is beneficial. Hhe tooth
brush should never be stiff enough
to irritate the gums or 1t may cause
them to recede The bristles must be
stout enough to polish the teeth and
to remove particles, 1t is well to
have two tooth brushes and to use
them alternately If one is used at a
time 1t should never be used for more
than a month 1t is an excellent
thing TO rinse the mouth out occa-
sionally before going to bed with
milk OF magnesia. One wakes in the
morning with { pleasantly fresh.

The Complexion Brush.

A complexion brush, while usual
ly excellent for the skin, may be used
so vigorously it will irritate the flesh
and make 1t sore; but If applied with
moderation the bristles will stimulate
surface circulation and give bright
color to the face. The brush should
never be stiff enough to roughen the
skin. If it seems too harsh soak 1t
over night in soapy water and rinse
in the morning with clean, hot wa
ter,

household soap is it will not hurt the

Tight Shoes.

Very few persons realize that an
ill-fitting pair of boots or shoes Will
play havoc with the nervous system,
especially in the case of tight pair.
II is usually supposed that the sole
consequences of such a bad fit is a

boots are being worn, but the effects
are more disastrous.

Healthy Hair.

In order to have healthy and beau
tiful hair 1t is necessary to have all
articles for dressing the hair per-
fectly clean. The best way to cleanse
brushes without softening the bris-
ties is to put a teaspoonful OF ammo
MIA into a quart OF water and soak
the bristles OF the brush in the solu-
tion excepting the back OF the brush
out of the water). The brush is then
rinsed in fresh water. and dried in
