Wausau was again victorious in the
league contest in Defamation and
Oratory held at the high school audi
forum Friday evening between Grand
Rapids and Wausau and won first
place in both contests.
The defamation contest was won
by Josephine Sturtevant who rendered
'Polly of the Circus" in a very pleas
ing and creditable manner. Second
place was awarded to Mary Jones of
Grand Rapids who spoke "Bobby
Shaftoe." Esther Lehrbas who spoke
"For Good Old Yale" rendered her
selection very effectively and Ruth
Richter of Grand Rapids also did her
self credit in her delivery of "The
White Swan"
In the oratorical contest the mark
ings of the judges were the closest of
any contest ever witnessed here and
only the difference of third of one
per cent. decided the winner. In
ranking Carmi Vaughan who deliv-
cred Antonio Maceo" and Albert
Mohr, who rendered ''The Plea for
Cuba were tied, but in figuring up
the percentage of each Mohr was de-
clared the winner and was awarded
first place with Vaughan a close
second. The Grand Rapids contest

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

The progress of the base ball league
has been somewhat interfered with
by the track work during the past
week and as result it has been de-
cided to cut down tae schedule to one
game around. This was done because
most of the members of the ball
teams are getting out for track work
and 1t is usually quite late before
the teams are able to start playing,
then also the track work being con-
sideIed the more important to the
interests Of the school the base ball
schedule was shortened.
! Three fast games were played last
week and though only one ran the
full period of play, they all proved to
be very interesting.
Tuesday evening the Faculty and
Freshman played one of the closest
games of the season. The Freshmen
secured big lead early in the game
and for time they looked like easy
winners. The Faculty, however, came
| back strong and scored enough runs
to tie the score. The game became
very keenly contested and was won by
the Freshman by one run, the score
being 1914 The score: /. II E

On Thursday one of the deciding
games of the season took place be-
tween the Seniors and Juniors. Gappa
for the Seniors pitched excellent ball
and was we'll supported by his team
mates. Until the latter part of the
game the Juniors were held scoreless
but by punching their hits they
secured three runs. The Seniors had
their batting toys on and went after
the ball with vigor and scored
enough runs early in the game to
assure victory. Owing to the late
ness with which the game was started
only five innings were played.

BRAIDED TOUCH FOR GOWN
Ingenious Girl Produces an Original
and Unique Effect in Her After
noon Gown.

Seeing in the shops the Gny mar
row bands of folded black satin. with
their long silken or heavily beaded
tassels, used as a neck finish, a GER
tain ingenious girl added the touch of
originality to her new afternoon
gown by making, to go with it, tie
and girdle of braided folds of black
satin.
The little tie was of the usual three
strand braiding, the satin strips be.
ing very small and carefully blind
stitched along the entire length. 1t
was long enough to go around the
neck and hang almost TO the waist,
the ends being worked into a clever
little ''rosette," with a ies beaded CEN
ter. Another tiny medallion covered
the black metal snap fastener" which
held the tie together at the base OF
the collar in front
For the girdle slightly wider strips
of satin were prepared, and she
rubbed up her memory Of lessons ia
ken in raffia braiding for baskets The
braid, when finished, was more than
an inch wide, was fastened at one
side under a medallion similar to but
larger than the ones used for the tie,
and the ends hung nearly to the edge
of the dress skirt, being also finished
with rosettes. from which hung black
silk tassels.

A remarkable instance of the ad.
vantage which medical men may de-
rive from chemistry has been pub
lished in the reports of the Hospital
Hotel D1eu, at Paris. young stu
dent wrote a thesis in which be
showed that gangrene and deficiency
of oxygen were to be regarded as
cause and effect. DR.. Laugier. sur
geon-in-chief OF the hospital having a
case of spontaneous gangrene unCer
his care, proceeded to test the theory.
The patient, man sevcnty-iiVe years
of age, had the disease in one foot
one toe was mortified. and the whole
member was in danger. The diseased
part was enclosed in an apparatus
contrived to disengage oxygen con-
tinuously, and in a short time the
gangrene was arrested and the foot
recovered its healthy condition. =
singular experiment tried upon an
other patient, equally aged, and equal

1t is curious coincidence that lug

make case for them that may be
hung up at some particular spot on
the wall in spare room or bedroom,

case would make a very nice little

We give, therefore, a sketch of a
handy case for this purpose, that may
be carried out in art linen, colored for
preference, as it will show marks less
easily. 1t can be cut out entirely in
one piece, ana the two ends folded
over SO that they form pockets, and
then sewn down at the sides.
The case should be lined and is
bound throughout at the edge with
narrow ribbon. The two sides should
be stiffened with pieces of cardboard
sewn in between the cover and the

KOW TO CLEAN SILK GOWNS
Gin and Water Cure Among the In.
falIible Remedies for Soiled
Silk and Satin.

Now that black and dark colored
silks are again in fashion 1t is wise
to use our grandmothers' remedies for
cleaning them-in the days when a
silk gown was a real possession.
Among the infallib!e remedies for
cleaning black satin or silk which
they knew of there was the gin and
water cure. A sponge dipped in a
mixture of this was used to remove
the shine and clean it thoroughly, the
silk being afterwards ironed while still
damp.
In order to keep wooden dresses and
skirts in good condition and freeing
them from dust, every woman kept a
cato nine-tails OF ingenious manufac-
ture. with which she fagellated the
gowns which were used for street
wear This instrument of torture was
made of a short stick, to the end Of
which narrow strips of leather were
attached. With it the material re-
ceived thorough beating on cleaning
day.
An old-fashioned method of cleaning
white kid gloves which had lost their
first freshness as the result of ball
or a visit to the play, without being
absolutely soiled. consisted in cleans
ing them with white soap. Pure cas-
tile soap, procured at drug stores. was
merely dipped in water and then
rubbed over the finger tips, the gloves
having in the first instance been
drawn over the hands

off with piece of very soft flannel.

"Marries her!" exc aimed the noble

An Embroidery Hint

When preparing piece of linen for
Mexican drawnwork, which is sure to
again be sought out by those who adj
mire beautiful needlework, the linen
should never be cut with shears, but
torn along the weave. This will show
whether it will be necessary to wash
the material in order to allow of its
being pulled into correct rectangular
shape. The best work of this kind
is done by pulling about one dozen of
the strings out, for by taking out this
amount it will not require the close
inspection that many of the machine
made pieces call for, and thus it will
be more effective and clearly will
elicit the admiration that the posses
scr will be glad to note
