has supplied for publication recipes to

public.
The club, as a whole acted as hos
tesses for the wives of the legislators
and state officers during the winter,
issuing membership cards to the visit
ing women which they were privileged
to use thruOut their stay in this city.
Mrs Beggs is still receiving letters of
gratitude for that courtesy. The CLUB
obtained its charter as an incorporated
society this year, and steps have been
| taken toward a definite arrangement
for club house. The committee in
charge have been empowered to buy
site for the building, and they have
some locations in mind, and will prob
ably choose within short time.
The club has had representatives in
the civic council and is credited with
a part of the influence which is to
bring cheaper electricity. In addition
to that the club had a lobby in the
legislature working for the bills it ap-
proved.
AT the Thursday meeting this week
a nominating ballot was taken, but
| it is still too early for the committee
to have assorted the ballots and de-
termined the leading candidates. The
| election is to be held in May.

The newest color that the dealers
and up to date dressers talk about is
F1amant rose. What is it? Why is
it? What was it's previous address?
| The new shade is a lovely deep rose,
almost red. 1t inherits its flaming
name from beautiful bird of scarlet
plumage that flies under the skies of
Asia. Cabot is its godmother. 1t is
used in millinery combined with other
colors because it is too vivid to be the
whole show. 1t is good for shade
of tulle in evening dresses and can be
glittered to the glimmering limit With
embroidery, gold galloon, or spangles.
| The neutral colors, grey, putty and
beige, are being hustled right off the
map. Neutrality is out of date in all
departments of sartorial state. Bright
rich colors are predicted by all the
fashion fortune tellers.

Julia Heinrich. the noted soprano
of the Metropolitan Opera company,
will give a song recital at the high
school auditorium on the evening of
Monday, April 9, under the auspices of
the Crosby Bros company !
Miss Heinrich is recognized as one
of the foremost sopranos of the presf
emit time and her recitals always att
tract widespread attention among the
most cultured musicians. While much
of her time has been occupied by her
appearances at the Metropolitah
opera house, she now has the opporA
tunity to make brief tours to musical
centers outside of New York, and it is
| one of these respites from her oper-
attic work that has enabled her to come
to Topeka for a recital.
Music critics have accorded Miss
Heinrich an exalted position among
operate sopranos and have pro-
| claimed her absolutely supreme
among the classic heder singers of the
present time. Sensitive to all moods
that song is capable of inducing and
having a control of expression that en-
ables her to match her voice to each
of them. her interpretations are sin
cere, sympathetic and invariably ar
tistic and inspiring. Her voice has all
| the depth and volume essential to
singing the most trying operate roles,
and yet, so superb is her control of it
that she can sing the most simple and
| delicate examples of the lieder with an
art that is consummate and unrivaled
among present day artists. Her work
! is truly a revelation of the posSibili-
ties of the voice.
/ The recital to be given here by Miss
Heinrich is in the nature of a private
hearing, admission by invitation cards.
which are being distributed by the
Crosby Bros. Co., who are the means
of bringing Miss Heinrich to Topeka.
