VIM. BOHMSACH
WHEREABOUTS
ARE UNKNOWN

William Bohmsach. R. F. D. Car

post office is missing. He was al
so in charge of the west side livery
stable, heretofore known as the Joe
Wheir Livery Stable. His household
effects were shipped on Monday to
Milwaukee and his wife and family
are reported TO have gone to Muwau-
kee to live with her sister. Mr..
Bahmsach has been missing since
Monday. Just why he has left his
business and friends, many of
whom he is owing, is not known. 1t
it thought that he has been drinking
pretty heavily and that his mind has
been affected thereby Just before
leaving he issued a check for fifty
dollars payable to himself and it was
cashed by Harvey Gee on the west
side. The check was issued against
the bank of Grand Rapid where,
when it was presented he had no
deposit and the check was not hon
ored- This was the first revelation
that he was absent from the city. He
told the boys in the livery stable that
he was going to Milwaukee to buy
a team of horses. But nothing has
been heard from him since.
While William drank some, it was
only his intimate acquaintance that
realized that he was drinking too
much, and to be charitable toward hin
we shall hope that when he is over
taken by the officers that it may
be found that his mind is affected
VIM Bohmsach had many good quail
tiles of head and heart, always a hare
worker, and from what We know of
him was diligent in the discharge of
his official duties ais mail carrier
from this office. We for one are
sorry that he has gone wrong.

BATHING SUIT OF
PRIME IMPORTANCE
Silk and Satin Being Made to Re-
sist Ravages of Water.

Fitting as prettily as the dainty after
noon gown, the bathing suit is Of prime
Importance TO the woman who intends to
spend even few weeks at the shore.
The most handsome suits are, of course,
made Of silk and satin, and while this
may sound extravagant, these materials
are now being made to resist the ravages
Of the salt water and are Just as pretty
after being dried as before taking the
morning dip in the ocean.
Mohair, however, is used by most Of the
bathers, ard since this material comes in
almost any color very attractive suits
may be fashioned.
A lightweight serge is another good
choice, since It offers more protection
than either silk or mohair and dries out
rapidly.
Black and dark blue make conservative
choice as regards color. and these can
both be relieved with collars and cuffs
OF white or color.
White, however, is to be especially rec
commended, since there is no danger Of
fading. and the repeated exposure only
gives a deep cream color.
The sleeves on this years bathing suits
are mere caps, while the necks are gen
orally finished with some variety Of col
lar with revers down the front
Many Of the suits, too, are being made
with the skirt, blouse, and boomers in
one, since these are so much more COM
Portable and more easily gotten into than
those in two pieces, while those made
with the body and skirt in one may be
worn with either tights or boomers.

ATTRACTIVE DANCE
HAD NOYBLFBATURE
Progressive Partners Furnished a
Great Deal of Amusement.

All kinds OF progressive parties have
been popular during the last few years,
and many merry dinners have been given
with a course at each house on the
route" but now a new style OF progress
sive dinner has been evolved by a clever
hostess who likes novelty.
The idea Is a simple one and means
simply that the men change their seats
after the courses.
After the second course there is a gen.
eral shuttle OF partners and twice again
during the feast the men exchange places.
The idea is the promotion OF conversa-
tion and the entertainment Of the guests,
some OF whom may not find their sym
pathIes agree with their partners. as they
were first OF all paired OF by the hostess.
On the other hand, what indescribable
disa appointment would await the man who
was getting on famOusly with his part
ner at the beginning Of the meal and
looked forward to a very enjoyable tete-
a-tete with her.
Acting on the excellent principle that We
should endeavor to tighten one another's 5
troubles and to share the responsibilities
of amusing the bores Of the community,
the exchange idea is only Just and right,
but to tear asunder two appreCiative in
dividuals would require a very stern will
on the part Of hostess.

I was told the other day by a friend
that she began to lose her temper every
afternoon about the time It becomes nee
essary for her to begin the preparation
of dinner for her little family, nor Is she
the only woman I know who takes the
matter in the same spirit. I have met
a good woman in my life who started in
their married life despising domestic
work, and who kept the flame Of their
hatred for It burning bright as long as
they lived, purely ana simply through
their mental attitude toward It.
The woman who undertakes any work
IN the spirit OF resistance wastes enough
vitality to actually accomplish the tasks
which lie before her. There Is no indul-
gence so devitalizing as the encourage
'ment Of hatred for any work we have
to do.
