OLD YALE"
TO APPEAR SOON
COLLEGE STUDENTS WILL PRE-.
SENT POPULAR COLLEGE
PLAY IN CITY HALL In
APRIL.

A typical college play-replete with
college songs, college yells, college
sport and college fun, is to be one of
the important events here in the near
future "A typical callege play present.
ed by typical college students will be
an attraction seldom witnessed on a
local stage. The date is Monday,
April 10, having been postponed from
April 2 on account of the burning of
the Gale theatre which had been en-
gagged for the event.
The production is "For Old Yale,
generally acknowledged to be the
most popular college drama staged in
late years, ranking on a par with such
recognized successes as THE Merry
Widow" and Brown at Harvard"
The feature of For Old Yale" is
the spectacular track meet between
Yale and Harvard, covering the entire
third act. The rival cheering of the
Yale and Harvard roofing sections,
the dramatic tensity of the situations
at first one school and then the other
lorges ahead in the race for points,
the sight OF the perspiring athletes
who win glory for old Yale-ali pre-
sent a powerful picture not soon to
vanish from the memory.
Fifty people are required to stage
For Old Yale. Special scenery will
be secured to meet the demands of
the city hall which will house the
play. Each of the four acts requires
a different setting. In many ways
these viii be elaborate with college
Iefrecis. For Old Yale" will feature,
in many respects, as the most preten-
ticus amateur production shown in
Mitchell in recent years.
Many of the cast have appeared in
preyioas amateur productions here.
The atmosphere of this drama should
+, present a unique and enjoyable
change. from the customary type
found on the stage. Real college life,
its traditional fun and frolic, inter-
mingled with song and touches of
romance to a pleasing degree, will
be represented by players perfectly
at home in such scene
/ For Old Yale" will be produced
by the Daedalian and ITALIAN Liter
airy societies of Dakota Wesleyan un-
der the direction of j. Marley Phelps
OF Chicago.

o State Indicate That will
Be His Lead.

Pierre, S. D.-Returns as received
by the secretary oil state today from
the state primary election held on
Tuesday, verify the announcement
made in The Republican yesterday,
that Burke's majority for Senator
would be probably between 1000
and 5000 and that Byrne's plurality
for governor would be around 5000
votes.
Returns thus far in the office OF
the secretary of state on the minor
state Offices give the first conclusive
evidence. They leave no doubt that
the entire majority ticket. with the
exception OF Senator Crawford. was
successful.
Among the candidates for the min
or offices, Ewert for state treasurer,
D~ougherty for railroad commissions
er and Lugg for state superintendent,
apparently Will be high men. The ma
j~orities of these candidates for the
minor tickets will undoubtedly far
exceed thai given to Gov. Byrnc.

shown IN novel variations, always
with the low neck, and usually having
|three-quarter sleeves. The bolero Is
also adopted as well as the simple
peasant draped waist.
Silks Predominant
Silks of various weaves, so long as
they are supple, hold first place in the
seasons list of fabrics. Messaline,
lcharmeuse, crepe meteor, indeed sat
linfaccd silks of all descriptions are
i'm high favor because OF their partic-
ular adaptability to the draped and
Iclinging modes of today. Chiffon taft
eta has been employed in the making
of so many OF the most attractive
Spring costumes that great popular
lily is predicted for it. Printed silks,
The patterns of many suggested by
Chinese and japanese embroideries,
lare expected likewise TO score a sue
cess.
Crepe de chine continues on the
crest of popularity, both in the plain
fabric and ornamented with jacquard
figures. Canton crepes and a new va
riety, Tussah, which lends itself read
lily to the production of a ripping
surface arc extensively used.
1T is prominently a season of crep-
|es in wash goods also, with voiles and
r~atines, the latter In many new weav-
cs, exceptionally strong.
The vogue for plaids and printed
effects extends to the wash fabrics as
we'll and some delightful novelties
have been brought out that permit
clever usage in combination with
plain materials.
Colors for Spring show a decided
reaction against the vivid hues of the
past season. Pastel shades are much
in evidence. Paquin blue, plum, fuc-
hsia, tete de negre and tho new
Tango shade-a peculiar brownish
color-are we'll liked. Dull Russian
green must be included as well as leaf
green. A striking model OF satin in
this leaf green go we'll reflects pre-
sent style tendencies as to warrant
description.
The New Rlouscs and Skirts.
Transparent, filmy, slimsy are the
new blouses for Spring and Summer
wear. The vogue for blouses that con-
trast with rather than match the suit
has brought out great numbers of
white, cream and flesh colored eff
fects, as we'll as striking models in
high eolors. which will tend to liven
up the somewhat quiet colors favored
in suits.
Worn with a carefully selected
separate skirt these blouses may car
ry out the effect of a whole costume.
The vogue for combinations of ma
ferjals and cOlOrs makes DOsSible
many clever blouse and skirt costum-
es OF real distinction.
Tho separate skirt this season has
been developed in an unlimited var
iety of styles and fabrics. Tunic eff
fects, peg-tops, and ruffled modes
lead In popularity. Fancy materials,
particularly plaids, and checks are
much used. Crepe effects, serges and
l%gabardines are also most successful-
ily employed.

THE MOTHERS CLUB.

The meeting OF the Mothers CLUB
on March IL at the city hall was
marked by a splendid attendance.

Moore gave a brief but very interest
ing address concerning the effect in
other cities and the existence of
mothers clubs upon the social con-
d%itions, Grand Forks, N. D., being
given special mention. Mrs. Myra
Weller discussed in a very intelligent
and instructive way the subject,
How, When, and What to Read"
Mrs. E. X. Mather read q paper con
corning The Art of Story Telling to
Children" The general discussion
which succeeded the program was OF
great interest.
The last meeting was held yeste.r-
day afternoon at the city hall. The
lesson was in charge of. Miss Edla
Laurson, librarian at Dakota Yves
leyan. Her remarks were based upon
the result of personal experience
with children, from the standpoint of
one in a. position, as former city Ii
b%rarian, to observe very closely the
literary tastes of young people. Her
subject was "What Books a Child
Should Read" The after-discussion
proved very beneficial. 9

CHARMING STYLES
IN MILLINERY
MODELS OF THE SPRING ATTRAC-
TIVE BECAUSE on THEIR
MODERATION AND LACK
OF ECCENIRICITY.

Tho long and eccentric features of
tho winters vogue have been modiil-
ed---the eXtravagant bows have been
recfed and the small headAslZes con-
siderahly ealarged--these are the
changes one notices first in the mil
lincry offerings for Spring.
Extreme Styles Discarded.
"A note of moderation is struck in
size, shape and trimming that is a
nntura- consequence OF the extreme
hats are not large, they are of a size
that ii bound TO prove more generally
becoming than the very small ones in
recent favor.
A great variety of shapes is shown,
with a preference perhaps for the
rolling or upturned brims. Adapta-
lions of the sailor are very smart, cs-
pecially those having a slight dip at
the front and back. Especially new is
the shape OF some OF the crowns
sept-angular. This idea is also carried
out on 4 few of the wider brims.
The tricorne has lost nothing OF its
jafnty charm in the attractive vasia-
lions it has developed. Besides the
regularly upturned tricornes, which
are still in evidence, and so smart
on certain types, there is a shape
which turns up sharply across the
back and into a shallow point In
front, the width being considerably
greater from side to side than from
back to front.
Mushroom Style a Favoritc.
The mushroom styles are good,
and lend themselves well to the vogue
for silk covered crowns. One demure
model, small and of the softest Milan,
had the crown covered with accordion
plated messaline in gendarme blue.
The soft trimming was a small cock
ade of blue feathers set at a sIrpris-
ing angle, toward the face. that gave
the hat just the bit of dash required
to offset the droop of the mushroom
brim,
upturned brims that widen and
flars toward. the back are numerous,
with either ribbon or feather trim
ming. A charming, airy grace was i'm
parted to a clever shape OF this des-
cription by the posing of two pair OF
small canary-colored wings, one at
the edge of the brim at its greatest
height, the other toward the front of
the brim on the low side. While the
ecceutric-often MISUNDERSTANDING
of feathers ornaments that prevailed
during the winter has been brought
within reasonable bounds perhaps
just in time to avoid legislation aga
inst thems one notices still certain
roguish tendencies among designers.
For the most part. however. the
Spring offerings are simple in line
and trimming. Colors tend to the
darker shades, although a fuchsia
shade and a brilliant electric blue
may be numbered among the favor
ties. Purple, gendarme blue, fawn
and mocha as well as the enduring
taupe shades are prominent in both
braids and trimmings.
