And does II not lead one to wonder what
might have happened, not to the boy, but

of real nobility upon her. in spite Of her

1t is not every woman who has the finest

VAUDEVILLE OF

At the orpheum there is a won
derfully strong line of vaudeville. TO

attraction offered in the real Balkan

the last time tonight. These pictures
were taken on the battle ground ami

rect from Los Angeles, where their
last appearance was On the Pantages
circuit.
1t is seldom that cities located as
Bisbee is and Of its size get such al
ting on in vaudeville. The fact is due
in the case OF Bisbee to the enterprise
of the Orpheum management in bring
ing about its membership in the
Western Vaudeville Association. The
move was an expensive one, but it
was taken in the belief that the War
rem district would support the best
vaudeville obtainable and the gain in
patronage that has come about to the
Orpheum and that is steadily increas
ing as its vaudeville is more and more
talked about is justifying the conf.
dence shown by the management.
With the new line OF vaudeville ii
has, the Orpheum has raised the
standard in the district in respect TO
this class OF attractions to the top
notch and will keep ii there. No big
city low price house affords as much
for the money as is given in this Bis.

TIE SWITCHBOARD HEROINE
Boston Joprnal.1

For every Jack Binns afloat there is
a telephone heroine ashore. She stays
at her post sending warnings throb-
bling over her wires, while fire cuts off
from the avenues OF escape through
which others have hurried, and she
Keeps plugging in calls until floods
racing down upon her break her con-
nections with the outside world. Sew
cral times in late years the tale writ
ten by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps has
Eeen duplicated in actual life. The
latest case of vigil aud devotion at
the switchboard comes from the Mi
ami valley. The girls who kept their
wires humming while the waters
surged down upon them and who
flashed the last tidings out Of stricken
Dayton did as brave a thing as ever
does the cavalryman who gallops into
the midst of enemies with 500 others
riding with him, knee to knee.

DECORATING FOR
THE WEDDING

From now until July l is the time
of year most favored by all brides.
II is season when flower decora-
tions are least expensive for city
dwellers, and the high tide of
beauty wherever wild flowers are
within reach.
All weddings look alike tn the
newspaper reporter. The high
enthusiasm Of his female relatives
for the latest bymeneal function,
as the very prettiest yet, he does
not wholly comprehend. AS brides
and trademarks are always pretty,
that being an essential element In
their business, it would seem that
even setting of cabbage leaves
would still evoke applause.
The question Of a proper decora-
ton Of home or church is not set
tied as simply as of yore. You can't
leave it to your next friend the
day before, and expect it to get
past the critics Of society. The
professional decorator has for some
years had his constantly enlarging
field. He has brought his exotic
plants and flowers, that suggest
greenhouse end florist shops rather
than the tender sweetness of Moth
or Earth
Still some return to nature in
weddings is observable. Wealthy
people who have both town and
country homes are apt to foreake
the former for a marriage. and
seek wild flower a1ornments in some
more secluded resort.
The discriminating florist of to-
day has his eye on wide range of
beauty. His servants traverse
many q mountain and plain in
search of blooms that never knew
the trowel or the flower pot. Some
wild tomboy blossom of the hills
may have o charm and romance
that does not attach to the most
costly orchids

EDITORIALS
SCHOOL FESTIVITIES

The last weeks of school year
formerly meant worry about exam
nations and promotions. Now the
question seems to be as to whether
the dressmakers are getting gowns
right, and as to raising the funds
to pay the dance orchestras.
School young people are men and
women of the wLrld now. Girls
with short skirts do up their hair
like grown women, and you must
call them Miss" or you will seem
very awkward to their experienced
minds.
While there may be an element
Of precocity in this change, it is a
pleasure to see the unadulterated
fun that the young folks get out
of their social doings. They have
not yet reached thu stage when it
is good form to criticize all things
and admire nothing. They can still
dance to piano If the whole band
orchestra can't be had.
In 80 far as people can retain
that attitude they remain young,
but in so far as they drop it and
always see defects, they lose the
priceless gift of youth.

But they came out against us
In the deserts round the pole.
Where things may crush our mortal clay
Yet never touch the soul
From white. unheard OF mountains
They swept down like wind.
Challenging us to save ourselves

Then-against them, too-things came out
And we stayed-with the doom assigned

For there Is another Captain,
Whose legions round us roll,
Battling across the wastes OF death
To conquer a darker pole.

So we can await his trumpets
