ALDERMAN ROBERTS MARRIED.
Happy Little Secret Of Alderman Of the
First Ward is Made Public by
N Arrival of His Bride.

Members of the Common Council and
the rest Of the members Of the Official
Family who have been worried over the
condition Of Alderman George Roberts
of the First Ward, need no longer
worry. That PARKWAY look in the Al
derman : eyes has disappeared now and
proudly he says meet Mrs. Roberts. =
1t may be that some aldermen cannot
keep secret but this is not true of
the alderman who has served the First
ward for so many years and with such
universal satisfaction to his constitu-
ents. Way last November he slipped
away to Chicago and was married to
Miss Ida Gildemeister of that city. AS
Mrs. Roberts left few days after the
wedding for California to spend the
winter, the alderman reached the de-
cision that it would be just as well
not to say anything about the marriage
and it was not made known to his near
est friend until after Mrs. Roberts ar
rived in Kenosha.
The wife of the Alderman OF the
First is most charming young woman
and she is assured a most cordial well
come to Kenosha. Alderman and Mrs.
Roberst will make their home at l01
Wisconsin street.

|PAPAL BLESSING
| FOR KEN0SHANS
The Rev. John Bot Brings
the Benediction of the Pope
To Worshippers At st.
Georges.
ORDER ATTENDS SERVICES
Local knights of Columbus Are Pres
ent In Body - Returned Chaplain
HAS Highest Praise For
K. of G. Secretaries
ORDER ATTENDS SERVICES

Gathered in the sacred silence of st.
Georges Catholic Church, the local
Knights Of Columbus and other Keno
shans Worshipping at the north side
sanctuary on Sunday morning received
the blessing Of his Reverence, Pope
Benedict the Fifteenth, as brought from
the Eternal City by the Rev, John
Bott, lately chaplain with the American
Expeditionary Forces in France.
The solemn ceremonial wac made pos
sible by the fact that the Rev. Father
Bott while abroad spent Holy Week in
Rome and there received the holy com
mnnion from the hands of the present
day successor of st. Peter.
Following this impressive rite the
returned chaplain preached powerful
sermon, addressed especially to the lo-
cal Council Of the Knights of Colum-
bus, who attended the service in a
body. Accordingly he had much to say
of the work Of the K. Of G. secre-
taries in France and more particularly
in the sector of the War-zone where he
was stationed while overseas.
II like to Think he said, "that
they, too, worked under the inspiration
Of the Pentecostal blessing.
Like the apostles Of DID, he con-
tinued in explanation, theirs was GER
tainly the gift Of tongues. With their
wit and wisdom they kept the men
cheerful even in the presence of death.
Like them, too, they were constantly
bringing the message Of the Master to
men who needed it most, not by words
alone, but also by kindly deeds and the
example, of blameless lives. Theirs
was wonderful service, performed
with efficiency, faith, and Pentecostal
spirituality
Preceding his sermon proper the Rev.
Fir. Bott touched lightly on his expert
ences in France. He described his
first baptism of fire tout there = and
asserted that, fearful as it was, it held
no terrors for him.
Il knew he declared with deep
sincerity, that my parishioners back
home were praying for my safety and
IL had sufficient faith to believe that
their many prayers would be answered.
And that is possibly the reason that
i was calm when other men around
me were nervous and apprehensive
of disaster.
In both sermon and preliminaries
Chaplain Bott emphasized the fact that
the Knights of Columbus secretaries
and the sky pilots in the A. E. F.
ministered without discrimination to
both Catholics and Protestants.
i am anxious,o he said in conclu-
sion, Hthat the same spirit may contin-
ue in their work in civilian life.''
The Rev. Father Bot will give a
more detailed account Of his service
overseas in meeting to be held at ST.
George Hall on Wednesday evening,
June 18th. AT this time he will mar
rate the many and varied experiences
which came to him, first in the camps Of
this country and finally on the rim of
No Mans Land where a world was
made safe for democracy and religion.

ROLLS INSTEAD OF RUBIEs.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Perkins Modestly
Celebrate Their Fortieth Annivers-
ary With a Family Dinner.

tits supposed to be ones ruby
wedding; but I'm little old to wear
rubies and maybe no one would want
to buy them for me anyway; so we
just made it a family dinner and had
rolls instead of rubies.
In this charmingly naive way Mrs.
w. H. Perkins today described the par
ty with which she and her husband cele-
brated their foreieth wedding anniver-
sary Saturday afternoon. The unique
affair was held in the private dining
room of the Elks Home. Flowers and
greenery gave the June bride atmo-
sphere and suggested all the brilliancy
and gaiety of the other nuptial day
|so many years ago.
Covers were laid for twenty guests
among whom were the children of the
host and hostess, Mrs. Myrtle Seid-
schlag Of Kenosha, and Walter Perkins
of Chicago. Mrs. Walter Perkins and
the one grand-child of the Perkins,
Miss Ethel Perkins, We're also among
the guests at The ulHHoT.
The bride and groom Of forty years
|ago presided at the post-nuptial fes-
tivities with a graciousness and affa-
bility which proved conclusively that
married life is not exactly the joy-kill-
Ter it is usually represented.
Mr.. and Mrs. Perkins were married
in Cleveland, Ohio in 1879. Previous
to that really important event-it $ al
ways that for the principals-Mrs. Per-
kins was Miss Ellen Cooper Of that
city. Ten years later the happy couple
moved to Kenosha, where they nave
made their home since 1889 and where
they have endeared themselves to a
very wide circle of friends.
And so, after all, there are some
things more precious than rubiesn
1t was these things that signalized the
fortieth anniversary of Mr.. and Mrs.
Perkins and made it a memorable
event in a most happy matrimonial life.

MISS ROE EXPLAINS.
Y. M. G. A. Secretary Talks at Guild
Hall and Explains Purpose and
Work Of That Association.

A small meeting that may mark the
beginning of large movement, was
held in Guild Hall on Saturday after
noon, when Miss Clara Roe, one Of the
national secretaries Of the Young
Woman S Christian Association, talked
informally to little group Of women
interested in the welfare of Kenosha
working gills.
Miss Roe's primary purpose in COM
ing to Kenosha was the Inauguration
of a campaign looking toward the rails
ing of a thousand dollars for the ma
tional fund Of the association. Upon
arriving in the city, however, and dis
covering that number Of similar
drives were already in progress here,
she decided that the time was unpro-
pitious for such project and wisely
decided to confne her activities here
to an explanation of the work of
the Y. w G.. A. in both civil and
military life.
In reviewing the history Of the as
ISOLATION, Miss Roe said that it was
inaugurated in England Immediately
after the Crimean War. Thereafter
it was transferred to America at
the time Of the Exposition along the
Pacific Coast.
There was special reason for
this, = she declared. g At the time of
the World s Columbian Exposition in
Chicago, many young women who work
ed at the Fair were never heard from
again. The simply dropped out Of life
and left only haunting suggestions Of
the road that they had taken. There
were people in the United States who
did not want that tragedy to be re-
enacted. Accordingly Y. w. c. A.
Hostess Houses were established before
the Pacific Coast Exposition and as a
result Of their work not a single girl
followed III the train of those who
mysteriously disappeared in 1892
During the course of her talk Miss
Roe explained that the Association was
willing and anxious to extend its ac-
tiyities to Kenosha through the estab-
llSnmonL OF 6lLnef a. Hostess House or
a Y. w. G. "a. Cafeteria. She asserted
that the organization would gladly
furnish trained workers to take over
the management of such project If
the city would only provide place and
a maintenance fund.
In everything that she said Miss Roe
was clear and definite. Consequently
she persuaded all who heard her that
her suggestions might be the solution
for the problem of housing women
school teachers, clerks, and artisans,
in comfortable quarters and at rea-
sonable rates.
AT the conclusion of the meeting Of
fcials Of ST. Matthew s Church offered
Guild Hall for any other sessions that
Miss Roe or her colleagues might de-
sire to hold in Kenosha
1t is very probable that permanent
committee will shortly be appointed to
consider the suggestions made at the
Saturday afternoon gathering.
