on many of Denison's citizens this
winter, and particularly so among the
older people. The latest home to be
visited by death is that of Mrs. Her

March 3, 1913, just one month after
her husband, Mr.. Herman Frahm, had
passed to the beyond.

Editor of The Review
The writer, while not witnessing
the Inauguration of President Wilson,
was sufficiently close to it to come
in contact with the advance guard of
two or three hundred thousand people
who were bent on taking part in the
Inauguration. 1t is safe to assert that
never before in the history of the
national capital we're so many people
congregated there as on yesterday.
On our arrival in the city Saturday
afternoon the crowd was so dense
about the railroad station that
it required a large police force
to open up a way wide enough
for the passengers to get from
the train, through the station
and onto the street, and this vast
throng of people was augmented by
the arrival of trains every few min
utes, bringing hundreds of people an
xious to see the democratic president
elect inaugurated. 1t was said that on
Sunday train arrived on an average
every five minutes during the entire
day. 1t was simply impossible for the
hotels and boarding houses to take
care of the immense crowd, and citi-
zens generally were obliged to open
their homes to accommodate visitors.
Fortunately the weather was not ex-
treme and little danger was anticipat-
ed on account of exposure.

Not only was this done, but the pro-

CHORAL CLUB IN
SPLENDID CONCERT
Dow City Choral Club Highly Enter
tains Denison Audience at Sag
gau Hall Monday Evening.
Program Consisted of Sacred, De-
scriptive and Humorous Select
tions, Vocal and instrumental

One of the best musical entertain
ments ever given in this city was that
of the Dow City Choral club, under the
direction of Miss Grace Schlumber-
ger, given at the Saggau hall on Mon
day evening.
The spacious hall was filed with a
large and appreciative audience who
listened to each number of the pro-
gram with great interest and pro-
nounced it to be one of the best en-
tertainments of it's kind ever given in
this city.
The program consisted of sacred,
descriptive and humorous selections.
The echo quartet, which was very
unique, brought most hearty ap-
plause from the audience. The
quartet, composed of the Misses Dow,
Butterworth, Wiley and holland, were
behind the scenes and sang alternate
ly with the chorus, causing beauti-
full effect. The two vocal solos by
Miss Genevieve Dow We're received
with much delight and evidenced Won
derful vocal ability. The piano selec-
tions by the Misses Glassburner,
Scott and Rudd, being compositions
of very difficult nature, were rend-
cred with skill and ease and were in
deed pleasing.
The "Humming Chorus which had
been prepared especially for this con-
cert, was something decidedly new
and won favor with the audience.
This was one of the best numbers on
the program and showed hours of
careful training on the part Of the
participants and the director.
The closing number was compost
ton by Schumann in which the Miss
es McHenry, Butterworth and Swasey
took the leading parts with much
grace.
The choral club is an organization
consisting of twenty-five of Dow City's
young ladies of musical ability, who
meet once each week for the purpose
of study choruses written by the best
classical and modern composers and
to annually present a.tmusical pro-
gram.
Miss Schlumberger is to be COM
niended on her ability as a musical
director and the program which was
given on Monday evening was only
an example of her talent along this
line. She is a young lady who has
devoted much time to the subject of
music and under careful training has
proven herself one Of the best musi-
cal teachers in this part OF the state.
We trust that the Dow City Choral
club will not make this first visit to

John Louis Mcclellan.

Word reached Denison this morning
that the we'll known union veteran,
Mr.. J. L. Mcclellan, had died at Fort
Dodge on Tuesday evening at $50
o'clock. His son, J. B. Mcclellan, had
gone to Ft. Dodge on Sunday last in
answer to call saying his father was
very low. He returned today at noon
with the remains and arrangements
for the funeral will be made tomor-
row. Mrs. Georgia Mcclellan and
son, J. B., were present at the time
of the father and husbands death. Mr..
Mcclellan had been ailing for the past
three years, suffering from dropsy and
other complications, and his death at
this time was not entirely unexpect-
ed. He and Mrs. Mcclellan have been
very prominent in G. A. r. and W..
r. C. circles in Denison and the state
for many years and his death will
sadden many homes whose friendship
he had made.
In the history Of Crawford county,
recently issued, we learn that Mr.. Nc
Clellan and family came to Denison
soon after the ending the civil War,
where Mr.. Mcclellan engaged in the
contracting and building business and
many of the substantial buildings Of
Denison are the result of his labors.
He built the old court house, the
west brick school building and many
large buildings throughout the county.
John Louis Mcclellan was born at
Gettysburg, Penn, April 7, 1888; his
father was a hotel keeper and later a
banker in that city, and died at the
time of the Johnstown flood, at the
age of IS years. John Louis received
his education in the public schools
at Gettysburg and at Pennsylvania
college. After leaving college he
learned the carpenter trade, which
occupation he has followed the great
er portion of his life. He responded
to the first call of President Lincoln
and enlisted in the Second Pennsyl-
vania Volunteers for three months. At
the close of this period he re-enlisted
for nine months in the 165th Pennsyl-
vania Volunteers and after the term
of his enlistment expired he once
more offered his services to the gov
ernment, becoming a member of the
31st Pennsylvania Cavalry, in which
he continued until the close of the
war, receiving his discharge in 1865
at Gettysburg.
On April Is, 1862, Mr.. Mcclellan
was united in marriage with Miss
Georgia Wade, who is now so we'll
known throughout Iowa and the
nation because of her affiliation in the
w. r. c. circles, having held many
prominent positions in the state and
national organization. Six children
were born to Mr.. and Mrs. Mcclellan,
one of whom died in infancy, the 9TH
ers being: Louis Kenneth, of Alberta,
Canada; Jennie Wade, of Illinois;
James Britton, of Denison; Nellie G..
Heffelfinger, of California, and John
H., of Carroll.
Mr.. Mcclellan was, at the time of
his death, a member of the John A..
Logan Post No. IS, G. A. r., and is a
past commander. For many years
past one of the duties Mr.. Mcclellan
has taken great pride in was acting
as marshal of the day on Memorial
day. Volumes might be written of

COLLEGE STUDENTS
PRESENT PLAYS
Proves Entertaining and
Those Taking Part Receive
Much Applause at Intervals
MISS RANSOM GIVES PIANO SOLO
Entertainment Under Direction Of
College Booster Club, Which Is
Doing Much for the College.

On Thursday evening number OF
college students, under the supervis
ion OF Miss Martha Hugg, gave an en-
tertainment, consisting of two short
comedy farces and physical culture
drill.
The opening number of the program
was a piano solo beautifully rendered
by Miss Mable Carlson and was fol-
lowed by physical culture drill.
which evidenced that much care and
practice had been spent in preparing
the pretty scene. Following the drill
Miss Hazel Ransom played piano
solo which was received with delight
and was greatly applauded.
The farce, "The Man From Arizona
was comedy in one act, presented
by five performers, Lorin Patchin
taking the part of Jack Mather, a jeal.
GUS lover, calls to see his sweetheart,
Margaret Harrington (Mae Hutch
ins) and while awaiting her finds a

ten, becomes enraged with jealousy
and is upbraiding her for her duplic,
ity just as Nellie Girard, taking the
part of Maggie, the maid, appears and
claims the note as one which she had
just lost. This farce was very we'll
acted, each character seeming per
fectly at home upon the stage.
The second, "A Box of Monkeys" in
two acts, was very amusing comedy
in which John Riggleman and Flor
ence Butrick took the leading parts
with much grace and seeming ease
Ted, the part acted by John Riggle'
man, is half owner of the Sierra gold
mine and is deeply in love with Sier
ra Bengalin, the part played by Miss
Butrick, but Sierra's aunt, Mrs. Jones'
represented by Elsie Gotter, is an ad
mirer of rank and objects to this
courtship. The time for Sierra's de-
but in society is fast approaching,
much to her regret. On the day pre-
ceding her debut Ted calls while Mrs
Jones is out in search of butler and
during her absence Margaret Flem-
ing, acting as Lady Guinevere, an
English primrose, arrives and mis-.
takes Ted for the butler, thus making
it necessary for him to act the part
throughout the following day. Martin
Johnson, acting the part of Chauncy
Ogelthorpe, Ted's partner in the gold
mine, is invited to the affair and up
on arriving falls in love with Lady
Guinevere, and to his unspeakable
surprise finds Ted acting as butler.
All is concealed until the last when
word is received that the gold mine
has made both Chauncy and Ted
millionaires.
The entertainment was held in the
college chapel and needless to say,
furnished genuine amusement for the
large audience of students of the col.
lege and citizens of the town who
had come to enjoy it. 1t was given
under the auspices of the Booster
club, who are certainly to be com.
mended on the work they are doing in
behalf of the college.

known to the many friends of Mrs.
Crippen that an ailment from which
she had long suffered was serious in
deed, and it was great shock to all
that at the most her life would be
prolonged a few weeks. From that
time she sank rapidly and passed
away on Monday, March Sd, at $3.50 a..
m.
Elizabeth L. Waterman was born
in Racine county, Wis, Oct. 27, 1S43.
Here also she was married to Mr..
Alonzo Carpenter native of New
York, and together they came to Den
ison in 1878, where Mr.. Carpenter en-
gagged in the lumber business until
his death in 1885. Harry Alonzo, who
resides in Denison, is the only child
of Mr.. and Mrs. Carpenter.
For some years after the death of
her husband Mrs. Carpenter engaged
in the millinery business where her
pleasant manner and exquisite taste
made for her many business friends
who regretted seeing her leave this
work when, in 1888, she became the
wife of Mr. Harrison Crippen. They
resided in the pleasant home on Rail-
road avenue until Mr.. Crippen's death
in 1897. For number of years Mrs.
Crippen has lived in the beautiful
home on E. Chestnut street, where she
enjoyed her many friends and asso.
ciates, both at home and from away.
She was one of those rare sweet char
acters in whom are mingled grace, dig
nifty, gentleness and tender sympathy,
and her associates were drawn into
close companionship with her. She
thoroughly enjoyed her friends. In
1885 she united with the Baptist
church and has been faithful men,
ber for nearly thirty years. She had
also been a member of the w. c. T..
U. and of the D. A. r., which organi-
cations she enjoyed very much. Mrs.
Crippen was prominent in literary
circles and faithful in all she under
took. She was also loved member
of the Eastern Star, which organiza-
ton will have part in the funeral

During the weeks of severe illness
Mrs. Crippen was attended constantly
by her son, Harry, and his wife, and
the little granddaughter, Dorothy, was
constant JOY and sunbeam to light
up the shadows.
Mrs. Crippen will be missed and
mourned by large circle of friends,
and nowhere outside the home will
the loss be felt more than in the
church she loved and where she was
always, when possible, in her place.

BY JULIA CHANDLER MANI.

NJ. Marcel Provost, the noted French
dramatist, declared in a recent lecture
that women are responsible for brainless
plays. He told his auditors that he had
repeatedly sat near a group of women al
first night just for the sake of prov
ing that his belief that they were more
interested in the sartorial side of the
production than they were in the play
itself was based upon fact. He claims
that this opinion has been justified not
only by the remarks of women he has
heard in the theater, but by their actual
refusal to patronize pieces which offered
no glitter of fine clothes.
Women" declared NJ. Provost, ARE
responsible for most of the useless femi-
nine roles in modern pieces. and for the
countless numbers of empty acts in
which scenes are laid at a ball or the
seashore simply to furnish an excuse for
great display of dresses. They are
equally responsible for the poor welcome
which greets plays rich in interest but
poor in toilette.

Mother, watch the little feet

Never mind the time II costs;

FASHION Is HIGHLY
In FAVOR OF LACE
Transparent Effects Are Much in
Vogue, Both on the Bodice
and the Skirt.

The fad for transparent effects, both
on the bodice and on the skirt of the
gown, mas brought into vogue all sheer
stuffs. including tulie, net and laces.
And OF these popular fabrics. lace is the
most iashionable. At all the social fInc-
| tohs' poth in this country and across
the seas, gowns fashioned entirely of
/, lace or with trimmings of lace are the
| most noticeable.
Inc real laces are, naturally the most
desirable, and the price. Of a single gown

imitation laces. TO detect which would
require the eye OF an expert. There is
some excuse Tor spending a round sum
on lace gown for IL can be worn quite
as well during the winter season as dur-
Ing the summer. and later it can be re-
modelled. Women who have been COL
lecting real laces now have an oppor-
tunity to use them. The vogue for
drapery makes il possible to fashion an
up-to-date model without cutting or
otherwise injuring these priceless laces
Finer Laces Favored.
The finer laces, just for the moment.
seem to have precedence over the holder,
heavier patterns. The Alencons, maIines,
Chantilly, Spanish. point de Venice and
eobweb laces are all very much in de-
maHd. and among the cheaper varieties
the shadow laces are most popular
Mounted over soft silks or chiffon, the
designs of these laces are thrown into
relief and their beauty is accumulated.
In these days Of sheer and transparent
effects it is not always necessary to have
a soft silk foundation, but it is better
To have il, as IL does away oftentimes
with petticoat. and consequently there
Is no necessity for bulk beneath the fImy

ever. should be yelled by chiffon to soften

delicate tone.
There are innumerabIe WAYS Of using
lace on the new gowns. One of the most
popular is in the tunic or overskirt This

front to show the cothurnes. or sandals,
with their lacings of ribbon. or ii may

to one side of the 'front.' are very well
liked. while the latest idea shows much
drapery directly in the back. where it

dimly reminiscent of the hustle age.
Perhaps the most popular mode is the
skirt
Laces are used in abundance on the
bodices OF the newest frocks They are
the favored fabric for the aII-over trans
parent blouse. When the blouse is OF
silk the lace is generally used for the

owe their distinction 10 an almost prim
simplicity. The foundation is a little
