NEW YEARS DAY
Ushered in by the Blowing of Whis-
Ties, but there Was no Sound Of
Musketry or Ringing Of Bells.

New Years 1918, was not ushered in
with the usual hub-bub of former
years, when every whistle, every
church bell and every gun in Wausau
were in action. All the enthusiasm
that could be worked up on Monday
at midnight, was the blowing of sew
eral whistles, which only awoke the
light sleepers.
The entire day was not in any sense
of the word an hilarious one, prob
ably owing to the war conditions.
One of the heaviest snow storms
for years visited this section on that
day-great feathery flakes which COW
cred houses, trees and everything out
of doors, and converted the city into
a veritable fairy land. More or less
snow fell during the entire day and in
the afternoon it came down in such
volumes that one could not see ten
feet ahead of him. The temperature
was twenty-five or thirty above zero
and there was no wind Many of our
people found great delight in getting
out in their "snow clothes" and wad-
ing about. The storm certainly did
not keep people at home, for the
streets were full of pedestrians, all
shouting their New Year greetings.
Nor was it confined to pedestrians
for there were automobile loads out
and many in their cutters with pranc-
ing steeds and jingling bells. Fully
fifteen inches of snow fell during the
day which necessitated walks all over
the city being shoveled off several
times during that time.
The Y. M. c. A. was opened in the
afternoon and evening to callers and
there were basketball and other games
arranged for the visitors. There was
not the usual amount in attendance
this year as in former years, owing
perhaps, to the fact that so many OF
the young men are off to the war.
Many of the business houses were
open until noon, when all closed and
the balance of the day was given up
to home and social doings.
The Elks' community tree, though
very handsome in its vari-colored
lights and its trimmings, was per-
fectly enchanting in its beauty on
the fullest, sparkling snow. 1t was
greatly admired by hundreds of oul
citizens on that night. Later in the
night it was dismantled. 1t gave
pleasure to our whole population dur
ing the holiday week.
On New Years eve there were only
a few public and private parties in
the city, one was at the X. c. hall by
the n. Y. y. club. The old year was
watched out and the new year in, by
many.
The Wausau club was open to its
members all day and especially in the
afternoon there was music and card
playing in which many participated
At six o'clock p. m. an elaborate din
ner was served and reservations were
made which took up the capacity OF
the dining room. During the dinner
hour and following, a program was
carried out:
Music by the Red Cross Jazz band.
Monologue by Frank Winninger.
Singing by Chas. Allen and Eugene
Stoddard.
Recitations by Miss Esther Lehr,
bas.
Dancing followed in the hall af
ter $3.50 O'Clock. Both the old anC
the young enjoyed the afternoon anC
evening at this social center.
The decorations throughout were il
keeping with the occasion and the sea

ON BEING CORRECTLY SUITED.

Other features Of the new styles,
that can be gathered from any repre-
sentative showing, reveal that high
shoes continue to be very high as COM
pared to high shoes Of a few seasons
ago. The fact that skirts have been
heightened little has made no differ
ence. The very high shoe Is more trim3
than the moderately high shoe andi
more practical. The uppers in these
shoes are Of cloth just as often as Of
kid. As fine kid is not the sort Of
leather that is needed In the army
there is no reason why the very high
shoe should not be worn with a clear
conscience. But cloth tops are just as
attractive and Just as desirable as the
kid and maybe little easier to keep
clean.
Oxfords and slippers will divide
honors with high shoes for street and
sports wear this summer. In all Of
them toes are somewhat pointed but
not to the length Of discomfort. Con-
siderable decoration in perforatiOns
appears on all styles Of shoes as may
be gathered from the group pictured
here which includes high walking
shoe. oxfords and dress slipper. The
high shoes are In black kid with COM
nonsense Cuban heel Wherever
seam Is required for joining the diff
ferent parts Of the shoe, there perfor-
ations occur. And the toes have o
small pattern that is purely decOra-
tive.
The oxfords are In tan leather, fin.

It operates number Of practical courses

the demands made upon it on main
tenanee fund Of 100000 a year, and
certainly it is reasonable to leave the
Legislature free to make such appro-

as it may think wise and proper.
The adoption of these amendments will
place Louisiana in the forefront of the
progressive educational states of the
Union. We will have largely increased

which means it will be permanent, and

realized in the right way, namely, by
using the state and the parishes as units
of taxation for school purposes.
