Well Recommended to All

DOW CITY, Dec. Especial
On December 18th the second mum
Der Of the lyceum course will be given
at the high school. The Bonnie Brooke
company is one Of the most pleasing
two person companies known to the ly.
they easily give a full evenings pro.
gram and make their audience glad
there are no more in the company, be.
cause 1t enables them to give more of
their work. Bonnie Brooke sings char.
acter songs typical Of a number Of coun
tries, and in appropriate costumes. She
is also an excellent reader. Lucille
Blakely, the violinist and accompanist
is an artist who has had successful ex-
perience in several known lyceum COM
panies. Either of these entertainers is
capable of giving an entire program
alone, but when, they combine their ef-
forts the audience simply has to sur
render. The Following comment was
given by the Settled Press: The first
number Of our lyceum course, put on
at the school auditorium last Monday
by the Bonnie Brooke company, was en-
joyed by a comfortably filed auditori-
UNI. The great violin work Of Miss Lu-
Gle Blakely was greatly enjoyed by low
ers Of good violin music, but the big
end Of the program was put. on by; the
smaller Of the two ladies', Miss Brooke
herself. She gave readings, sang songs,
played the banjo and kept her audience
watching very closely to see what she
was going to do next. She gave group
of dialect readings in which she imitat-
ed an italian describing an American
baseball game, which was especially
true to life and was greatly enjoyed by
all. All her dialect readings We're sur
prisingly true to the tongue being imi
tated including French, English and

One Of the great difficulties confront
ing the industry is lack Of proper
standards for the raw material. Rags
vary infinitely In, quality, color and
condition, since every. class of cloth,
serge and tweed. as well as limited
materials, such rs stockings, are press
ed into service. Uniform grading Is
unattainable, especially as the work
Of the rag sorters must vary. The
blending of rag wool Is important,
since the combination Of colors secured
by proper blending is eagerly sought
after. To insure correct blend re-
quires fine taste and sense Of color
harmony which are comparatively rare.

The glory of evening wraps has re-

the richness of costly brOcades and

extrava gance in furS is written into
the history OF this winters fashions
But extravaganza in furs is not reck-
fesSness; they have intrinsic value, like
jewels or fine oriental rugs. The wom-

them, for it seems inevitable that they
must advance in price. There is moth
ing in apparel that may be remodeled
more successfully or that gives such
certain return in satisfaction upon the
required Investment as good furs.
Such a thing as a furless wrap is
hardly to be found. In evening wraps

there are gorgeous models in which
wide borders of fur divide honors with
regal fabrics in the body of the wrap
