The Clothes Your Wife Wears

Husbands, it is not kind Of you to
speak of the attractive manner in which
other women dress, and tell your wives
that you wish they might make as good
an appearance.
Is it not a fact that your wives
might compare you with other men
and show you where you fall far short
Of them?
And is it not also fact that If your
wives spent as much as some others
for dress they would be better attired ?
If you have a wife who thinks more
about getting little bank account to-
gethcr than she does of having fine
clothes you have a jewel
You should realize your good fort
une.
, Why should you consider your wife
from the standpoint of dress?
1t is far better for her to look
wholesome and happy than we'll
dressed.
Why should you care whether she is
attractive to other people if she pleases
you?
If she is good, true woman and
loves you as good wife does, you
should be happy.
If you wanted doll-likc wife, YOU
should have married that sort of a

To-day Second Lieutenant Herbert
L. Smith, @. M. c.. was viciously pass

The new opera "Bianca," which was
awarded the Hinshaw prize of $1,000
last season. has a story adapted from
the famous play of Goldoni's, "Thc Mis-
tress of the 1nn," by Grant Stewart.
Nine. Duse appeared in New York in
the leading role in the play several
seasons ago. The scenes are laid in an
inn near Florence in 1870, and the
music is said to be of the gay and
tuncful Italian school. Blanca, the
mistress Of the inn, has mischicvous
heart and merry choice of suitors,
who come to jealousies and sword
thrusts over her coquetry, and in their
rage give opportunity for the denouc-
mcnt and the romance. "Madcleinc"
has been produced by the Chicago OPP
era Company both in Chicago and New
York.

Novelties Promised by
Ne.v York Symphony

Considering the fact that creative
music has almost entirely stopped in
Europe, due to the war, the number
of novelties that Walter Damrosch
conductor of the Symphony Society of
New York, has been able to gather fol
presentation during the coming season
is astonishing. During his stay in
Paris this summer he was successful
in procuring a number of orchestral
works Of genuine Importance. Not
only French, but the younger Italian
composers will be included, togethc,
with several American novelties. Need.
less to say, there are no works Of liv-
ing German composers listed for pres
cntation.
Among the most important Of the
French works are:
A dramatic cantata by Lii Boulan-
ger, the French woman composer; q
symphonic poem entitled "Sarabande,'
by Roger Ducasse; a fantasy on two
Angevin folksongs, by Leku, the Bel
gian composer; several smaller works
by Messenger, the we'll known composer
Of "Veronique," and at present in this
country as conductor of the French
Conservatoirc Orchestra.

this country as composer by Waite,

Let us consider temperatures for a
moment. Scientists have discovered
that every living creature. whether it
be plant. animal or man, has what is
ature. This simply means tempera-
ture at which it is at its best. Above
or below this temperature an animal,
for instance, cannot run so fast, digest
its food so we'll nor fight so vigorously
as when the thermometer is at this
particular point. Different activities,

Introduce Ordinance
Repeating Franchise
Of Light Company

Fargo, N. D, Aug. 1.-The intro
duction by Commissioner ]. J. Jordan
Of an ordinance repeating the fran
chise Of the Union Light, Heat &
Power Co., is the most recent step
taken in the Fargo fight over electric
gas and steam rates, recently increas-
ed by the power company.
The ordinance will be finally acted
upon, probably next week.
Yesterday the, company announced
an increase in its steam rate from 81
cents per 1000 pounds. to 1920 per
1,o00 pounds. The franchise under
which the company operates in Fargo
permits q maximum charge Of 81
cents, but this Is being circumvented
by individual contracts.
