For a long time women viewed the
colored handkerchief with aversion,
considering that good taste demanded
plain white. OF course. the white
handkerchief may be used. but the
colored handkerchiefs grow more and
more dainty and attractive, and beyond
a doubt a handkerchief to correspond
is now n of the prettiest and most
usual accofnpaniments of a smart tot
lei.
1t is even acknowledged that vivid
borders are allowable when the cos-
tune demands it, for IL the handker-
chief has any color at all it must cor
respond with the gown.
The monogram or initial is always
embroidered in color to match the bor-

DYEING THE WALLS.
An Experiment That Made Old Bur-
lap Look Like New.


The walls of a certain dining room
We're covered several years ago with
green burlap. This year they had be-
come so badly faded as to look a rusty
brown in spots. No shop or friend of
the owner could suggest any other rem
edy than a new wall covering, and that
was financially out of the question.
In this dilemma she set her wits to
work and as a result bought 10 cents
worth of dye. a kind guaranteed to
color either cotton or wool.
Taking one-half the package. three
pints of water and a tablespoonful of
salt she experimental by dyeing a
small part of the wall in a place that
was not conspicuous. When dry 1t
turned out a beautiful rich shade of
green, so she promptly went to work
to cover the whole room. This took
four packages of the dye, but she never
mixed more than one-half a package
at a time. using boiling water. The
dining room walls looked fine and the
cost was 40 cents and four hours
work.

Not for long time have there been
so many changes contemplated in the
teaching force of the New Ulm Schools.
Of the High School force, three out of
the present seven have other plans.
Mr.. Peterson will give up teaching,
Miss Paddock expects to 60 away for
further training and Miss Weschcke
will retire. Her successor will be Miss
Vera Stricken. 1t is rumored that the
new principal and the new science
teacher to take the places of those re-
signing will both be men. Miss Lewis
of the Normal Department will not
be here again since there are not enough
pupils enrolling for the course to make
it possible to conduct that department
this year.. In the grades, Miss Sommer-
stad is said to have made up her mind
to give up teaching for better job. It
is expected that she will not leave New
Ulm permanently, however. Miss Bor-
ebert plans to continue her Normal
course and Miss Schwanke who has been
here five years as principal at the
Washington Building will go to Lead,
S. D. Their successors have not all
been definitely settled upon as yet.

threaten to have offenders arrested if the
practice is continued. They are right
in their contention and something should
also be done about the other eyesore.

Every day brings news of the further
mobilization of the Italian troops and
the dispatches at times would seem to
indicate that Italy's decision to enter
the war was hanging merely by a
thread. Her delay and dilly-dallying
has demonstrated one thing and that
is that if she should decide to 60 into
the war, she will do it in sheer cold
bloodedness and for territorial gain.
This is infamous. Moreover, if Italy
does 60 in, she will simply complicate
matters when it comes to the final
settlement. The more claims there
are to be considered the more difficult
will be the adjustment of peace
Morally, Italy was bound to Germany
and Austria. She failed to keep hel
pledge. This was infamous also. Italy
is, so far as all the present indications CO.
the most perfdious of nations and the
most criminal in the calculating spirit
in which she proceeds to take up arms
A nation that goes to war as mercenarily
as Italy appears to be going, will deserve
very scant consideration from the victOrs'
The way matters stand now, neither the
Alliance nor the Entente can trust her

SPECIAL MEETING OF CITY
COUNCIL.

The City Council met in specia
session Friday morning, April 23rd al
$50 A. NJ. for the purpose of taking
suitable action in the matter of the
death of their fellow-alderman, Christ
F. Ruemke President F. H. Retzlaff
City Attorney Albert. Pfaender and
City Clerk VIM. Backer were appointed
as committee to draft appropriate
resolutions. These were drafted, ap-
proved and appear elsewhere in this
issue of the Review. This committee
was also empowered to make the neces-
sary arrangements for. the funeral SO
far as the City officials were concerned.
The City Clerk was instructed to in
vite bids for the replacing of the present
wood floor system on the Beussmann
and CORTLAND bridges with ':'I' beam
stringers. At the present time these
stringers are of wood and have to be
replaced every so often because they
rot away. The ''I'' beam stringers will
last the life OF the bridge.
Chief Klause appeared before the
council and requested that the council
either provide him with bicycle or a
motorcycle. He maintains that it is
almost physical impossibility for one
man to cover the entire city during the
day time and do all the work required
of him, unless he is either provided with
a bicycle or a motor cycle so that he
can get to the outskirts OF the city in
short order. A committee Of three,
consisting of Aldermen Eibner, Krook
and Hamann was appointed to investl-
gate the ACCESSIBILITY of purchasing
either bicycle or a motor cycle tor
the police department.
City Clerk Backer informs the Review
that some people have an idea that as
soon as the meters have been read that
they should come to the City Clerks
office to pay their electric light and
water bills. This is a mistake. The
bills do not become payable until the
list of the following month after the
reading has been done and may be paid
any time before the goth. This should
be kept in mind by consumers.

RESOLUTIONS.

WHEREAS, Divine Providence has
taken from this earth our esteemed
fellow-worker in the services of the
city, our beloved friend .
CHRIST F. RUEMKE !
AND WHEREAS, on account of
the prominence attained by our departed
and lamented fellow citizen it is proper
and fitting that we should make public
acknowledgement of his worth as a
man and his value as citizen,
NOW THEREFORE, Be it resolved,
by the Mayor and members Of the City
Council of the City of New Ulm, that
in the death of Councillor Christ F..
Ruemke the City Of New Ulm and the
citizens of this city in general, have
suffered loss that is greatly deplored
and will be keenly felt by all;
F That as an humble mark OF apprecia-
ton we desire to record our knowledge
of his sterling manhood, his noble quali5
ties, his upright life and actions which
serve as notable example for others
to follow:
That his removal from activity in
the City Council leaves void that will
be difficult indeed to fill; but the memory
of his unselfshness and his devotion
to duty as member of this body will
always linger with us and serve as an
incentive to greater efforts towards
the accomplishment of that civic pro-
gress and betterment which he so much
desired.
Resolved further, that page OF
the minute book of this Council be
reserved and dedicated to his memory,

resolutions be sent to the family OF the

Official Paper of Brown County.

When DR.. Bernhard Dernburg, spokes-
man for Germany, said that If at the
end of the Great War and as a result
thereof each nation would surround
itself with a Chinese wall, it would be
a. complete and dismal failure, he stated
a, great truth. There are other walls
beside those made of stone and brick.
Tariffs contribute largely to national
antipathies. Tariffs are breeders OF
struggles for markets, and as a necessary
consequence, of militarism. Universal
free trade will do more to put an end
sos the insanity Of war than any Other
one single thing.

At first she secured a position in
the little town, hoping that Robert,
coming home sometimes, would feel
her influence about him. But Robert
never came home, and the house was
sold. Robert was making a name for
himself on the stock exchange. He

Elise went to him and asked for a

name, roared with laughter and Of
fered her fifteen dollars a week to go
home and live quietly in the little
town. Elise, with tears of vexation
in her eyes, declined. She begged
until he placed her under one of his
clerks. Three months later he was
surprised to discover that she was
still with him. He made her his sec.

Little by little Elise made her way
into the big mans confidence. Once.
when she ventured mildly to display

Poor little Elise watched drearily
through her employers innumerable
love affairs. Ladies'. redOlent of fine
perfumes and rustling silken skirts

his desk; once there was fight, and
Robert trounced his rival while Elise
looked on aghast, her heart quivering
until she saw Roberts fist strike the
aggressor to the floor. Then she ran
to him and looked into his face so
eagerly that Robert forgot his anger
and smiled back at her, and took her
out to lunch. That was gala oc.
casion. but Elise was forgotten
through long, dreary weeks while a
discreditable scandal pursued its un.

newspapers,
