SACRED LILY PERFUME.


Baroness Uchida, wife of the Japa-
nese ambassador, is an excellent adj
vance agent for the subtle arts of her
country. She was present at a soclal
gathering when a Persian woman a
distributed walls of perfume of the
roses of Araby, giving a short history
of the flowers and the manner in which
they are raised. The baroness soon
afterward gave away tiny silver TASKS
containing the essence of the sacred
lily of Japan. That caused a craze
among her friends, man. of whom are
the alumnae of Bryn Mawr, for the
sacred lily perfume, and the baroness
has promised to obtain large quanti-
ties from Toxic. Lily perfume V
has been popular with Americans. A
highly spiced perfume made from ben
zoine with a few drops of violet es-
sence is the newest idea with the tailor
girl. The Charters say the tailor
girl must be spiced, while the
lingerie girl can stand perfume.

statements made by leading %confec-
TONERS of the country, who are now

Pure food laws and their require

"Our greatest problem" said d. j..
O'Brien, of Omaha, secretary of the
association, is trying to keep abreast
of the rulings of the Federal pure food
authorities, They demand that each
separate piece be weighed and labeled.
They prescribe how many pieces can
be placed in a carton and how much
each piece shall weigh.
According to their rulings at pres

GIRL GL~OBE.TROTTERs.


There are many American girls who
pride themselves on being globe trot-
tiers. A trip to Europe is insignificant
to them; they have been around the
world so many times they speak of it
as something 0 unusual. But they do
take pride in knowing the art of trav-
cling, of getting along without So many
petty annoyanees that almost give in
experienced travellers nervous prostra-
ton. They are sweet tempered and
merry and never seem to be ruffled by
any unexpected circumstances. One of
those experienced girls when asked why
she got along SO easily, remarked:
"Well, / soon learned a few essential
things and | never have any trouble

a noted painting of a woman, sur

a frame. Across the bottom of the
picture is an oblong, narrow card for

tall bush of blue or pink flowers flank
ing the pole of the birdhouse.
Small spinning wheels of paper that
resemble carved ivory have the distaf
ends turned into gay little ~pin-cushions
covered with bright silks.
Another pi~n-cushion effect are small
sleds of white, with brown sacks, look
ing like burlap potato-bags piled on
top. Or sometimes "a, girl rides fiat on
her face on the sled with a p~in-cushion
bag on her back.

For other seasons are small pins or
evergreen tree effects, which can be.
used in SUMMER in mountain bunga-'
lows. Another appropriate card for
mountain entertaining is a large OBJ
long white card, with pine cones and
branches in one corner.
Small oblong pillows, covered with
pongee and embroidered or painted
with pine cones as a border around a
space for the name, make rustic place
cards.

SUITS.

| am speaking of cheap bathing 1suits
that can be made at home. The other
day l asked a pima what she in
tended to do with a silk dress that
has seen better days, especially around
the lower part of the skirt. 1t has a
pleated skirt and is two or three years
old.
Il am going to revel in a silk bath
ing suit at no expense" she replied.
So she cut the skirt to the length
approved by use, cut out the net yoke
and shortened the sleeves. The bath
ing suit was made in n hour, and
will give much pleasure to its owner.
IL you must buy your material, mo-
hair is always good. 1t car be trimmed
with silk or braided to suit you fancy.
1t lasts long and is defiant of the suns
rays and the salt water.
: Panama is another practical mate
rial, a little warmer than mohair and
recommended for cold waters. Bath
ing suits made of this are very dura-
BILE.
One very unusual bathing suit in a
striped effect proved to be, on investi-
cation, nothing more than blue-and-
white bed ticking, trimmed with blue
serge. A clever woman was behind
hat idea.
Fine serge is always recommended If
you would resist the call of silk. 1t Is
frightened up with colored taffeta. but
tons and braid, and is inexpensive, to
say the most.
The best style for bathing suits is
the one-piece dress with no annoying
gaps at the waistline,
Buttons are the best fasteners, and
side openings are the most satisfactory.
Under the suit you can wear a bodice
and boomers in n piece, or the warm,
union suits, especially made
batheES. Shoes are protective az
well as ornamental. and the cap to
is necessary in caring for your
hair.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

Tpe track work at the high school
is in full swing. About twenty fel-
lows are out working for the Pentath-
Ion, which will be held the last Fri
day before vacation, and for the regu-
lar track team under Mr.. LETTERS.
Most of the m 1 this year are new
men, Turner and Brown being the
only members of last years team left,
but the prospects are good, although
it may take couple OF years to turn
out team like last years and the
year before. As yet, however, there
have been no try-outs or means of
comparison, so il would be hard to
name the most promising candidates.
The spring vacation begins March
81, three weeks from next Friday.
School will close this year on June 8.
Supt. Tobey and Prin. Parlin re-
turned Thursday from the south,
where they attended educational
meetings at Mobile and New Orleans.
The National Superintendent and
Principals Association at the former,
and an educational exhibit at the
latter, held in connection with the
Mardi Gras. They witnessed the big
Mardi Gras carnival, and on their
way back visited Booker Il. Washing
toms great negro school at Tuskeege.
There are about 1000 boys and 500
girls in attendance at the school, and
the buildings have been built and
entirely furnished by the students
themselves, all of whom are required
to learn a trade.
The class play this year which will
probably as usual be given the second
night of Commencement is to be

orous play in five acts, the effective
ness of which depends largely upon

1.-THE BLUE BIRD"

Prof. S. H. Clark, head of the Pub
lie Speaking department of Chicago
university, read Maeterlinck's 1.-THE
Blue Bird" at the First Methodist
church on Saturday evening, under
the auspices of the Ladies' Literary
club, to large and appreciative au-
dience.
/ Il 1t is three months since the first
announcement was made of the COM
ing of Prof. Clark to read "The Blue
Bird" and all that time we have been
looking forward and anticipating an
evening of profit and pleasure.
Prof. Clark's Interpretation and
reading of this "the greatest symbol
cal play ever written" was certainly
wonderful. His analysis of the char
acter Bread" great utility trust !;
of DOG" the faithful of "Cat," the
treacherous, of Sugar" the pacifier !;
of Light" the pure, ETC., was per-
feet. The whole reading was listened
to with breathless attention by the
audience, and when the children
finally found "The Blue Bird" the
representative of happiness, a sigh of
satisfaction swept over the audience,
only to be followed by sigh of dis
appointment when "The Blue Bird"
escapes. The lesson of the play comes
home to us ali and is taught through
the children. The only regret is that
this reading could not have been lis
tened to by all of WauSau.

THE EXPOSITION.

A crew of men has been at work
the past several days in erecting
stalls, arranging lights, ETC., in prepa-
ration for the merchants exposition,
which is to be held in the Coliseum
roller rink. Today the decorations
are being put up, and the exhibits ar
ranged From those in charge we
learn that most every leading mer-
chant of the city will have an exhibit.
The exposition will be open to the
public tomorrow afternoon. Visitors
can also see the exhibits Thursday
and Friday, and also in the evening
of each day. Each booth will be in
charge of attendants, who will well
come visitors. An orchestra will be
stationed in the building each eve
ming and its members will blow music
out of the big ends of their horns.
Admission will be by ticket. The
merchants have passed around lib
eral supply of them and will be pleased
to furnish them to those not having
any.
Considerable expense has been at
tach to arranging for this enterprise,
and therefore we would like to see it
result in success. See display ad in
this issue.

LUMBERMEN MEET.

The Northern Hemlock and Hard
wood Manufacturers association held
meeting in this city on Wednesday
last. The matters discussed were of
interest wholly to the trade, and of
not much consequence to those out
side of the lumber business. This as
ISOLATION is the result of an amalga-
nation of the old hardwood and hem
lock dealers associations, the two
being merged into one some months
ago. r. S. Kellogg was made secre-
tary and established the headquarters
of the association here, because most
OF the members are doing business in
this locality.
The matter of freight rates is al
ways uppermost in the minds of lum-
bermen, and so at this meeting this
was discussed. There are bills pend
ing action before the legislature relat-
ing to rates on raw and manufactured
forest products which is of interest to
lumber manufacturers. The lumber
men will urge the defeat of these
bills.
In the evening supper was served
in the club house, the ladies of the
Baptist church serving. An address
was made at the close of the supper
by G. S. Curtis, after which most of
the visiting members departed for
their homes.
