saying the beauty and effectiveness oi
this costume. 1t is the apex of style
and cannot go out of fashion.
The bridal dress shown on the stand
ing figure is distinctly in the mode,
with little thought to what has gone
before. 1t is a very gorgeous and
somewhat oriental-looking costume OF
embroidered crepe de chine and lace.
The skirt is arranged in draped
folds at each side, with an overskirt
in the "minaret' style made of lace.
There is low underbodice of net and
very wide crushed girdle of the
crepe de chine. Over all is a small
lace coat with kimono sleeves and
opening at the bust line. There is a
hint OF Medici collar at the back.
The handsome bride wears long
gloves and instead of bouquet car
ries chiffon and ribbon muff. There
is not a single concession to the regu-
lation wedding gown except in the
train and the color. This is an ivory
instead of a cream white.
Neither bride wears jewelry, ex-
cept for strands of pearls. The train
On the crepe de chine gown is covered
with really wonderful and beautiful
embroidery.
1t is for the bride-to-be to consider
wherewithall she shall be clothed,
and how. Now that draperies are in
vague, those handsome old embroi-
dered shawls with long fringes, which
some families possess, may be effec-
lively used in the construction of the
wedding gown. Old lace finds many
places where it is of use, and it is
a delightful thing to see these treas
lily in succeeding generations. One
can make no mistake in using them,
and if doubt exists in the mimi as to
the lines on which the wedding gown
should be cut, one is absolutely safe
in sticking to the princess model with
high neck of lace or not, and long
sleeves. Other styles may cease to
look beautiful to us, but this one never
will
Many a pretty Easter bride will
make no pretensions to a regulation
wedding gown. She will attire herself
in some tasteful white gown, to be
used afterward, and indulge herself
in veil Of tulle or lace or go to the
altar unveiled. Other gowns than those
of heavy satin or supple crepe are en-
ticing, and far more practical for
brides of moderate means. OF these
later articles will treat.

Land CAMPAIGN of 1914.

One hundred years ago March the
preparations of the Americans and
British for beginning the land cam
paign of 1914 were about completed.
The American army under General
Wilkinson had already crossed the
Canadian frontier. On the Canadian
side the preparations for the campaign
were being conducted with equal en-
ergy. Stores of every kind, and in
vast quantities, were being forwarded
from Quebec and Montreal by brigades
of sleighs to points of distribution
near the frontier. At this time the
prospects of peace appeared very re-
mote Early in the year the emperor
of Russia had offered to mediate be-
tween the belligerents. Great Britain
declined the offer, but proposed direct
negotiations with the United States.
The commissioners appointed, how
ever, did not meet until August, and
meanwhile the war became more
deadly and mutually destructive.

Longs for the Old Paper Covers.


Although this is an age Of cheap
literature" Walt Mason says, many
an oldtimer signs for the halcyon days
when old Seaside Library doomed UP
in every book store news stand In
those days the best novels in the world
could be bought in paper covers for
ten or twenty cents. They were gen
uine boon to people travelling or enjoy
ing a vacation. Nowadays the paper
backed novels are too cheap and
shoddy for sane people to read. In
England a dozen publishers issue
standard novels in paper covers for
ten or fifteen cents, and poor man
can have all the good reading he
wants. There is nothing of the kind
in this country, more's the pity. You
either have to buy magazine you

Vote on Socialism.

Under the British trade union act,
1912, it was laid down that before
any union could contribute from its
funds to the support of political
party it must take ballot of its mem
bers. Provision was also made safe
guarding the minority from being
compelled to pay towards the support
of political opinions from which they
differ. Trade unionists of the United
Kingdom have just balloted on the
proposition of paying Socialist mem

BURNEISTER TO

Duluth. June 23.-John Burmeister,
the large and genial president Of the
league. was in our presence last Satur-
day. The league executive came to
the head of the lakes to see Pres.
Harry A. Blume Of the White Sox and
also to give the work of Umpire Tim
Flood the once over. From here Bur
meister left for Grand Forks.
THE attendance this season is bet
ter than last" said President Bur-
meister. ESPECIALLY gratifying has
In one of the games with Winona the
crowd was the largest of the present
year. This shows that baseball is ap-
preciated in the new towns Of the
league, for up there we draw from
both Fort William and Port Arthur.
I'm view of the splendid attendance
that the citizens at the head of the
Canadian lakes have given to their
team, it is rather disappointing that
the Fort William aggregation is not
making a better showing. If the at
tendance is so large with the Twins
in their present lowly position, it
would possibly be larger were the
team making some kind Of a race out
OF it."
President Burmeister also stated
that the turnstile returns at Winnipeg
indicated a greater attendance than
last season, and that Grand Forks and
Fargo so far have been giving their
teams fine support.
The umpire question is one that is
engaging the attention of the league
executive at the present time. Large

What Dame Rumor Says.
Now that Burmeister has gone and
left, it might not be out Of the way
to repeat what is being. whispered
around some Of the baseball camps.
It is rumored that John Burmeister
may be the next president of the Am
erican association. These be parlous
baseball times, it's true, and 1t Is also
true that the large lumberman Of Min
neapoIis has shown the executive abil-
ity and the back bone that is needed
in baseball.
Burmeister is a business mar of in
dependent means. He is not drawing
a cent as president of the Northern
league. He has made emphatically
good on the job, and it Is the qualities
Of dictatorship that he has displayed
that first directed the rivet-eyed atten-
ton of the Cantillons to a new and
somewhat unique figure in baseball.
Whether he is ever made president
of the American association or not,
the fact remains that he is being dim
ly considered for the job.
Thus do we see that baseball every
now and then throws diamonds upon
the shore Of contemplation.

Thrilling Game Was :.:.
Won by Craingrowers
From Grand Forks Team

In a game scintillating with brilliant
plays, the Graingrowers nosed out
Grand Forks in the eighth inning yes
terday, winning by the final score of
4 to 5. Wertz, the new man who
comes to the Graingrowers from the
Buffalo federal league club, played
sensational ball at third base. He
plays all over the field and yesterday
brought the crowd to its feet by a
hair-raising one-handed spear back
of the pitchers box which he shot to
first, getting the runner by inches. It
was a clever brainy piece of work.
There were several other fine fielding
stunts. Wertz made another pretty
stop and throw to first. Schiller made
a beautiful one-handed pick up. De-
Rose picked a line drive out of the
air that looked like a sure hit, and
Sullivan retired the last man by catch
ing a hard line drive to deep CEN
ter.
Another big feature play of the
game was WeidelPs clean steal home
with what proved to be the winning
u in the eighth. Murphy poled out
a two Dagger, and Weidell, who has
not been hitting lately and who was
playing the bench, was put in to run
for the catcher. Grand Forks highly

throw from the pitcher and Weidell
slipped over to third before the ball

ball was thrown. On one of these

the game was won.
