more fascinating are the cotton and

sprays OF white wistaria. To wear the
kimono there should be a clinging

HEALTH AND GOOD LOOKS
Proper Fitting Of Corset Means Ap-

Various doctors and artists have
been once again discussing the vexed
question as to whether women should
wear corsets. and they have once
again come to the inevitable conclu.
sion that II they wear the right cor
sets they are considerably improved
by them. II ever the wasp waist as.
serts itself again among US 1t will be
something to grumble at. but the cor
set of today is really beneficial rather
than harmful, II 1t is properly made
and properly worn. 1t may be that
we ought not to require the support
of corsets. but life in these days is
artificial. and surely 1t is better to
have a good figure by means of good
corset than to have bad figure with
out 1t.
Just the came, good many wome n
are not sufficiently careful about their
corset, and then they wonder why
their gowns never look well. Better
a cheap, ready-made blouse robe on a
good corset than an elaborate frock
over a shapeless one. 1t will not only
be better from the point of view of
health and carriage, but 1t will even
give an air to the gown. French wom-

Where Women Run Cars.

The suggestion that women may be
employed as street car conductors in
Philadelphia has brought out the fact
that the women of Latin America,
usually thought of as sheltered, retir-
ing and unprogressive, have been do
ing this kind of work for years. Dur
ing the war between Chill and Peru,
when all the men of Chilli were need
ed at the front, women took their
places on the street cars, and San

CANTATA WAS A BEAU
T|FUL PRODUCTION
Chorus Choir of the Congregational
Church in "Resurrection
Light

''Resurrection Light" the cantata
given at the Congregational church
Sunday night by the chorus choir Of
some forty voices, was success
both in it's rendering and it's fine
musical quality. The church was
filled with an unusually large crowd
and the close attention given
throughout the evening showed
clearly the interest and enjoyment
of the audience. The members of
the chorus acquitted themselves in
a way which would have done high
credit to a much older and more
pretentious organization. Miss Len
nienie Gillian, under whose able di-
rection the cantata was developed,
deserves much praise for the mark
ed snncess of this delightful story in
song. The production in its entire
ty is a high grade musical compost
ton and it depicts the wonderful
story of Easter in varied number
of beautiful solos, duets, quartets,
choruses, etc, and all were inter-
'preted and sung in very pleasing
manner -.. Il
Miss Hazel Wilcox, a member of
the Symphony Orchestra of Omaha,
who is in the city and attended the
Owen-Potter wedding Saturday ev-
ening, she being a close friend OF
the bride, added much enjoyment to
the occasion with an excellent vio-
lin solo. Miss Wilcox is finished
performer upon this instrument.
During a brief intermission in the
cantata, Rev. Metcalf gave a short
talk upon the effectiveness of the
chorus choir in religious services, it's
advantages to the young people OF
the church, in the way of musical
training, as we'll as from the moral
and ethical sides of the question. He
paid high tribute to the work be-
ing done by the singers in his own
church and this we are quite sure
met a hearty response in the hearts
of all who have given any thought
to the subject or have had expert
ence along the lines referred to. The
progress made by the chorus choir
in this church during the past year
has been a matter of surprise to all
who have watched its course and
this success gives much promise for
the future.

Beautiful Cantata in

The Easter services at the Metho-

impressive. In the morning the pas
tor preached an excellent Easter SER

the twentieth chapter Of John as the
foundation of his theme. The chorus
choir gave "Hosanna" by Granier,
and Mrs. w. L. Macgoey sang the
beautiful solo, "Allelujah,"' by Vim
cent.
In the evening the chorus choir of
twenty-four voices, with the assist
ance of Mrs. O. J. Henderson and
Mrs. Macgoey, rendered the sacred
cantata, 1.-THE First Easter" by Til
lotson, in a most excellent manner
The contralto solos were taken by
Mrs. c. H. Kamphoefuer and Miss
Mabel Reason, the soprano solos by
Mrs. Henderson, tenor solos by r. D.
Hughes and bass solos by DR.. Han
nah and F. D. Hamilton. Miss Grace
