Read what the Atchison and Kansas
City papers think of Paul Frawley,' 2
the sensational rag time singer who
opens four weeks engagement at the
Colonial theatre Monday, June g.. to-
morrow:
Atchison people are talking today
about the tremendous hit made by
Paul Frawley, the singer, at the Col
onial theatre yesterday. MIR. Frawley,
who sang for weeks at the Globe thea
tire. in Kansas City, was billed as "a
premier character singer whatever
that Is Notwithstanding this handi--
cap, Mr.. Frawley made good and made
good strong. He was applauded to the
echo both yesterday afternoon and
evening. At one performance he re-
sponded to six encores and when the
curtain went up on one of the regular
acts the audience was still clapping.
Mr.. Frawley not only has a sweet,
powerful voice but he has a magnetic
stage presence. He made hit and
that is all there is to it. He does SO
well that the audience wants to keep
him on the stage the entire perform
ance. Ward Chatburn has announced
that Paul Frawley will remain at the
Colonial theatre for some time and
that he will sing new song wherever
there is a change of bill
Paul Frawiey, newphew of j. B.
Frawley of the Union Pacific lines
here, has become a permanent fixture
at the Globe. While the bills at that
amusement house change twice a
week, Paul has not been changed for
the past seven weeks. Originally en-
gagged temporarily as singer after
many persons had failed to give salts
faction to the management, Paul was
given a tryout and pleased both the
management and patrons to such an
extent that he has been made the reg
ular singer of the house. He has a
pleasing baritone voice and is kept
pretty busy learning four new songs
each week, two for each change Of
BILL He is becoming more popular
with Globe patrons each week.

Opera House Friday, June z.
| The Vitagraph masterpiece, a three

LACE USED ON EVERYTHING
At beast, There Are Few Articles Of
the Costume on Which 1t Is
Not Found.

With the emphasis laid on revolu.
tionary modes and styles of the EN-.
pire, lace has assumed a place of i'm
portance that 1t were we'll to consider
in planning frocks or ornate dresses
for afternoon and evening.
Rufiles of lace have been placed on
the lower edge of skirts under the
tunic. There is little fulness in these
new skirts. The straight silhouette,
although decidedly removed from the
hobble line of last season, must be ad.
hered to and, therefore, the ruffies
must be scant.
Many long sleeves show rufrles at
the wrist. Fine laces are used for
this, giving soft folds of white over
the hand
Lace is used for jabots, plisses,
revers and collarettes on blouses.
Wide and narrow bands and edgings
are equally popular Frills of black
and white lace fall down the fronts
of cloth frocks. They are in the ma
jority of cases adjustable, and one
dress. therefore, can show many lit
tie touches by the mere removal and
replacing of a frill.
The use of lace on evening hats is
decidedly noticeable. High, pulled
crowns of allover Valenciennes lace,
of coarser varieties or of Irish lace
in combination with valenciennes are
used on models that have lightness OF
weight and fresh colorings for their
chief recommendations.
Wraps are trimmed with heavy
laces edged with fur. Hoods of lace
lined with shirred chiffon or soft
plaitings of silk are in demand; and
you may be- sure that the French
modistes always meet a demand.
Lace scarfs, beaded and trimmed
with bands of chenille embroidery, are
shown in many of the little shops II
which accessories of dress are EN-
phasized. BY the way, how many lit
tie shops" there are over in Paris!

TO MAKE APPOINTMENTS.
Governor VIII Send Them in Tonight
or Tomorrow.

Governor Goldsborough has an
nounced that he will be ready to make
all his general appointments, includ-
ing some important ones tonight or
tomorrow.
1t is expected that large lot of
appointments will be sent to the Sen
ate tomorrow night and another OF
Tuesday. Under the CONSTITUTE ,n
the Governor must have all of his ap-
pointments before the Senate by We'd
nesday, which will be the fiftieth day
of the session
AS far as county appointments are
concerned the Governor, with few
exceptions, is following the recon-
mendations of the party organization
in each county. The lists have been
made up by the members of the coun-
ty committees and the Governor is
naming those on their lists. Of
course, for the counties which have
Republican members of the Legisla-
ture the Governor is consulting them
also
Among the other important appoint
ments that the Governor will make
will be a superintendent of the State
Bureau of immigration and two COM
missioners, chief of the Bureau of
Statistics, Game Warden, two boiler
inspectors, tobacco inspector, three
members of the State Live Stock
Sanitary Board, Superintendent of
Public Buildings, Judge of the Juven-
lie Court, State Wharfnger. two fish
commissioners and two examiners OF
stationary engineers.

NEAT PAPER WEIGHT

There are only two features that 1t
is necessary that a paper weight
should contain. The one IS that 1t
should be heavy, and the other is that
it should be as ornamental as posi-
ble A very capital paper weight can
be made with the aid Of any ordinary
empty wooden match box, filed with
shot or small stones, or anything of
weight, and then entirely covered
with some dainty remnant of silk or
satin on which some pretty floral de-
sign has been either embroidered or
painted When this has been done,
to complete the weight, 1t should be
edged with fine silk cord, chosen in
some contrasting shade of color. In
our sketch may be seen an ornamen-
tai little article of this kind, made in
the manner directed.

nAKEs FRAME FOR The FACE
Neck Band Of Ribbon or Guiu1pe Of
White Net and Lace Are
Both Effective.

The corsage or blouse with the neck
cut little low. leaving the throat
bare. Is more than likely TO die hard.
AS the season advances. however. II
becomes less practicable wear. and
many women have made the discov-
cry that some addition Is necessary
during the winter. A very smart
and dainty finish has been invented.
which is becoming TO nearly every
face. This consists OF a ribbon as
v%ide as the length OF the neck viii
permit. and which Is made 10 fit
closely round the throat At the top
there is narrow edging of white or
ivory embroidery or net. while below
1t there is two-inch flounce Of finely
Killed tulle, which makes a kind Of
Toby frill, neatly and simply ar
ranged. The ribbon must, OF course.
be carefully chosen to accord with
the gown. and as most OF the gowns
Of today have a touch OF black intro
duced, black ribbon is the most in
evidence.
F. There is. however, another way OF
relieving the darkness OF an autumn
or winter corsage. This consists of a
neck band and kind OF guimpe fash
Toned of white net and lace. The
guimpe is worn outside instead of
under the corsage In front It falls
nearly to the waist. while at the back
it forms a deep. rounded sailor collar
II made OF finely tucked net it is en-
riched with rows OF delicate darned
lace. while ii is supplemented with a
border of the same lace as an edg-
ing. Thus the face is set in a
frame of fresh white which is emf
nently becoming, and very much en-
hances the costume with which II is
worn. The sides and sleeves OF the
corsage are. besides, often of white
or color. with a voltage of mousseline-
de-soie in black. navy, or brown, ac.
cording TO the color of the dress. the
effect being rich and handsome This
is an adaptation which can easily be
made on toilette which has seen its
first season and which is beginning
to show signs of old age.

Heartfelt Appreciation.
A tourist was being conveyed
through a rough country by a driver
who boasted of his knowledge of all
the roads, saying that he knew every
stick and stone along the highway.
After they had passed over a
smooth piece OF road they began TO
go bumpty-bump for several miles.
Just as the blackboard came out of q
hole about two feet deep the driver
turned and said: How do you like
riding on buckboardf"
At that instant the tourist hap
pened to be about six feet in the afr.
and remarked:
