SMILEAGE DANCE
Given Friday Evening -ROthschild
Park-Benefit Affair for
Soldier Boys

Last Friday evening the Wausau
Rotary club gave a delightful benefit
party in the nature of a "Smileage"
| dance at Rothschild park pavilion.
| The affair was given for the purpose
OF raising funds to buy smileage books
for all boys leaving Marathon county
for military training. Besides supply
ing the boys as they have left their
homes with these books, a great many
| have been sent to boys in various
environments, and the club members
found they were running short of
money to continue this work. Many of
the members of this popular club have
been regular subscribers toward the
smileage fund, and have given from
$1.OO up every month for this cause,
but even with these subscriptions.
the fund was not large enough to
keep going. The books cost S1.OO
piece, and furnish the soldier boys
with admission to all entertainments
at the environments. The number of
boys leaving Wausau and Marathon
county is certainly increasing, and
therefore more books are needed
1t was a delightful evening for
party of this kind, and also an ap-
propriate day on which to give it
Flag day. Many went to the park
in their automobiles and enjoyed the
evening immensely.
The large dancing room in the pavil-
ion had been beautifully and appro-
priately dressed for the occasion, with
the national colors and the Rotary
club colors. Streamers of red, white
and blue had been artistically ar
ranged, and the numerous electric
lights were shaded with red, white
and blue crepe paper. At the north
end of the dancing hall was a large
Rotarian wheel, electrically lighted in
the three colors of the club, blue,
white and gold, while at the south
end of the room the Rotary club
serviCe flag had been placed. A. ].
Mcconnell and Adlai Peth are the
two Rotarians now in the service of
their country, and the following sons
of Wausau Rotarians are serving
Uncle Sam: Charles Edmonds, Thorpe
diamonds, Ben Alexander, Knox Kreut-
ger, Norton Kelly, John Manson, Jr.,
F. Talbot Montgomery, Louis A,
Pradt, Jr., and Paul Tobey. The
American flags were very much in
| 6Nlu6llC6 all over the DullulnS, anU
two large silk flags had been ar
ranged to blow in an artificial breeze
lall evening.
| Dancing commenced at nine O'Clock
and was enjoyed continuously through
to twelve o'clock. There was music
every minute and Dana's band anC
Schultz's orchestra furnished the
same. In the dining room of the
pavilion soft drinks, ice cream, sand
witches and coffee was served.
There were several out of towr
guests at the dancing party among
them being, Mr.. Scion Perrin o
Superior, who is district manager TO
the distribution of smileage books TO
Minnesota and Wisconsin.
The gross proceeds. amounted t,
l about $500, which will be used to blu,
!. Smileage books for the Marathon
county soldier boys. There were 20
couples in attendance.

PRUNING TREES

Somewhere in Mercer county, N. J., the first unit of the Woman's Land Army of America is hard at work proving the value of woman labor to the American farmer. The six mem bers of the Mercer county unit tare girls who registered for service at the New York recruiting office of the Woman's Land army. Last Wednesday they reported for work on the Mer- cer county farm.
 Mercer county is a fruit growing section, and since last Wednesday the six young women have been busy pruning the trees in order that they may bear a record crop. Clad in reg ulation blue overalls, they pass the greater part of the day in the or chard. The unit is comfortably housed on the farm where they are employed and cottage has been given them, where their cooking is done and their meals served by their matron or su- pervisor. The women are paid by the farmer and share the cost of then food and laundry, living cooperative ly. The initial expense of equipping the workers was borne by the land army committee of Summit, N. J.

NEW COIFFURES DES|RABLEiN IN
 MODE

With the vogue for Spanish laces, which burst suddenly upon us this winter comes a liking for Spanish combs. Not an unlookd for change, as the vogue for slicked back hair without a relieving note could not be expected to last forever. Nevertheless 1t did some very good missionary work in putting an end to the padded out sofa cushion look to the head, which will probably not return for some time to come.
 The happy medium. rather 8 stu pid but sometimes g nkable stage in fashions, and for evening affairs the hair is rolled high rather than low. 1t Is just enough loosened from the head to make a comb desirable ad- dition, but is not allowed to puff out enough to obscure the shape of the head. When a good looking woman is dressed in an evening gown or semi low neck dinner gown, the line of the back of the neck sweeping up into the hair is most attractive if the head is we'll shaped and placed.
 Ears are only partly visible, as hats are at present so constructed that 8 showing of more or less puffed out hair at the sides is advisable for the majority of faces. Of course, some few women are so blessed that they have fewer restrictions than others and can appear to advantage in any style they may elect. Now that both the tightly plastered mode of hair dressing and the large padded coiffure have passed away, 1t Is hard to realize that they were eith- CT of them ever thought good looking or attractive.
 With the hair rolled up and under at the back, 8 comb, either jewelled or of tortoise shell, carved or in nov city shape, gives finished look to the whole evening attire.
 Jewelled combs to match the color note of the gown are much worn. Black gowns, which so frequently are enlivened for evening with cerise brilliant blue or emerald green, are exactly matched in bri1liants. Worn in contrast to the black these combs are much smarter than when worn with coiors.

THE KAIsER's SISTERS.

Princes Victoria, wife of Prince Adolph of chaumburg-Lippe, and one of the four sisters of the Kaiser, is 52 years old. She was named after her grandmother, Queen Vic toria of England. Princess Victoria was married in 1890, but has no children. The eldest of the Kaiser s sisters, Princess Charlotte, married Prince Bernhard of -Meiningen in 1S7S The most famous of the Kaiser's sisters is Sophia Dorothea, who, in 1889, became the bride of Crown Prince Constantine of Greece. and was Queen of the Hellenes until the overthrow of the dynasty last year. Her adoption of the Greek Catholic faith was very distasteful to the Kaiser, and for years they re- mained aloof from each other, but all that changed when war broke out and Sophia became her brother S most valuable agent in preventing the entrance of Greece into the war. The youngest of the Kaiser's sisters, wife of Prince Frederick Charles ot Hesse, is Princess Margaret, who will be forty-six on the twenty-second ot ! this month

ened, while the hips will be reduced in size if they're too large, and the back made strong and straight.
 Dig in the garden. Push the spade into the earth by pressing upon it's top with the foot, thrusting the blade deep into the soil.
 This muscular effort will develop the muscles of the legs, hips, ankles and feet. You will be amused or feel dis couraged at your weakness at first, but strength will come to you. In fact, digging with a spade brings into play almost all the larger muscles of the body, developing and strengthening them in a remarkable degree.
 All the while you're gardening you're in the pure, outdoor air, filling your lungs with health-giving oxygen and finding good health and beauty while employed in enjoyable work.
 The woman who is weak and ailing, the one whose complexion lacks the rosy co1oring of perfect health, the one who's too stout or the one who is angular shuld go out in the garden and work. The roses will soon return to your cheeks and the brightness of health to your eyes.
 Should you dislike the idea of be- coming tanned wear a broad brimmed hat If you fear that your hands will grow coarse and unattractive wear gloves while you work, and keep the skin soft, white and pliable by apply ing hand cream.
 Hetalth and beauty are to be found by gardening.

TO KEEP SCHOOLS OPEN DURING
 SUMMER

Don't close the schools; use them to maximum capacity" says Secretary of the Interior Lane. In accordance with this idea, the United States bu- reau of Education is suggesting that country and village schools be kept open during the summer wherever the school funds make this at all possible.
 After deducting holidays" Com missioner of Education Claxton states, ''The annual school term in most of our American cities is not more than 1S0 days. In many cities and towns the number of actual school days is still less. This means that children who are never absent attend school less than half the days of the year, little more than one hour in ten. Formerly the school year was much longer in the cities of this country as it is now in most other countries. In recent years school officers and the people generally are beginning to feel that there Is no need for the very long summer vacation, and that some op- portunity should be offered for such children as will make better use of it than loafing on the streets. This
 
 form of summer school. It Is the opinion of this bureau that this move ment should be encouraged"
 According to a statement of the bureau of education, children speak enthusiastically of the all year schools in cities where they are organized The statement made by the bureau is to the effect that nearly all children say that the school room is much cooler than the streets and theil rooms at home; that they have noth- i ing to do except to collect in gangs on the streets; and they may gain 6 grade or two. Parents of pupils who have gone to all the-year-roun6 schools were interviewed by the bu. reau to get their reasons for sending their children to school in July ant August. The brochure states tha without exception all were in favor of the all-year plan."

SILK FAVORED > MATERIAL IN { CAMISOLES

Silk Is the most highly favored ma terial for those little camisoles which form such dainty additions to the feminine wardrobe today. Crepe de chine and washable satin appear to be most popular, with trimmings of lace. Many of these small garments are held on over the shoulders by straps of ribbon or lace, although some have regular shoulder straps or tiny sleeveless of lace. They are cas- fly made at home and require but small amount of material, as they have little fullness and that little is gathered into an elastic band at the waist so that none is used in a pep lum effect. Very little is needed by way of adornment, when such pret- ty materials as these are used. A sim pie lace edging for the top is quite enough for most, a bit of embroidery, however, may be added if one desires somewhat more elaborate garment Sometimes in the case of a woman who has little time for sewing but likes to have an unusual touch upon 4ASA SAObASoJ Ou0 Lldy Uuy u CduQlSOle all ready made with just that sim pie lace edge, and may change 1t into quite another thing by running a row or two of French knots all around the top. One such camisole, seen recently, had a rather narrow edge of lace all round the top and also round the arm hole; then, about an inch and 6 half below, an inch wide band of insertion to match the edge. The rest was perfectly plain white washable satin-when it left the store. The woman who bought 1t, however, with her own needle and skein of embroidery silk, made a sim pie attractive border of French knots between the edge and the insertion and another line of the dots below that, which quite removed the shop look and made a different thing out of the camisole, gave it just the dainty touch. that she loved to havo n her belongings.

NEW SHADES FOR BLOUSES THIS
 SUMMER

Women have grown bit tired of flesh pink blouses and though many of these undoubtedly becoming mod els are shown, the preference of fla shion seems to be for cream, ecru, or pale blue in blouse wear. Pale blue chiffon and voile blouses are en- chanting, and many of them have extra becoming white touches in the way of collar, vest and cuff of pin tucked organdy. If the pink blouse had to be laundered carefully, the blue one will require even more care, but no doubt someone will produce a coloring powder which will restore the dainty blue shade as successfully as the shade of pink blouses could be restored after exposure to soap and water.

How to Find Beauty in a Food Garden

The Famous Spanish Prirna Donna

a figure neither too stout nor too thin, but one that measures up to the standard set by beauty.
 Yielding a spade, a ralz or a hoe will tend to give the arfAs just the proper exercise to make them plump and strong. The muscles will receive exercise that you cannot give them otherwise, and will profit by it. Don't be afraid to get out and till the earth to make it fine and light for planting seedlings. It will give you strength, boise and a good deal of real pleasure if you don't fatigue yourself too much.
 It is we'll after spading or hoeing vigorously for 10 or 15 minutes to rest a, while. Fatigue caused in this man ner can be relieved by standing straight and placing the long handle of the implement across the back of the shoulders and turning the arms about it to hold the body and back in per- fectly erect position. Stretch the arms, still holding the handle, far above the head.
 Learn the value of resting and deep breathing while at work in the gar den. It is lesson which which add much to the benefits to be found there.
