STYLES OF FRENCH LINGERIE
Empire chemise Great FaVorite; Deli
e cate Little Undertakings Are
Made of Linen.

The empire chemise has become a
great favorite with the Parisienne. 1t
is little, frail thing that has a rather
full yoke and n short skirt. 1t is
edged with lace and strapped over the
shoulders with ribbon, and it has that
charm that all the modes of the EN-
pire period have, the Short-waiSteti-
ness being a real asset at this time
of the corset taboo. These delicate
little undertakings are made, when they
are smartest, of linen. Sometimes
crepe de chine is Communicated for
the making, and often a French ma
terial called "linon" forms the founda-
ton for these bits Of lingerie. Few
extraneOus ribbons are seen, and the
fine and exquisite strips of lace are
sewn only around the top or at the
base of the little yoke. At the bottom
there is no trimming of lace, and over
the shoulders just simple straps of
heavy wash ribbon are placed.
Hand-stitching there is a-plenty.
All of the many tucks and seams and
edges are so fine and beautifully done
that they may some day be relegated
to museums as examples of the art
of infinite labor in the way of stitch
cry.
The set started by the small linen
chemise is completed by a pair of
short 'knlckers," very full at the bot
tom and held tightly by a rubber
band above the knees. Then the
FrenchwOmen wear over all of this a
combination, consisting of tiny bodice
and full, short skirt. The undervest

A Warnino Word.

"A girl in bathing suit is danger
GUS A widow is irresistible"
The speaker was Guy Oyster, Sam
uel Gompers' clever secretary. He
was addressing a plumbers union.

whether you go to Atlantic City or

window, and when you get near her

Select the Calf II Possible When II
May Be Seen With Its Mother.
Dy a good bull and properly cared for,
VIII grow into a useful breeding an
imal Another advantage Of selecting
the calf at this time is that it NAV be
necessary to select it at weaving time
or even after it is weaned, but the best
time, as stated, is before weaving.
Calves are frequently classified at
fairs and calf shows as "senior" and
Junior" calves, depending upon the
time of year they were dropped. A
calf, for instance, that was dropped
between September / and December
III the year previous to the show,
would be classed as Senior calf, and
one dropped between January l and
August 81 previous to the show, a
Junior calf. AS d rule, a fall or Sc
nlor calf, on account Of it's age at the
usual time of holding the show, is to
be preferred, although there are adj
vantages in selecting a spring or Ju-
niOr calf, especially one dropped in
January or not later than February.
This, however, depends upon the rules
Of the contest at which the calf is to
be shown and upon the facilities at
hand for feeding and caring for it.

Kindness should not be forgotten
for the COW is docile creature willing
to be friends with her keeper when
she finds out that he is her friend and
no reason to fight. The more intellI-

more likely it is to resent unjust treat
ment.

SUBSTITUTE USED FOR MILK
Success With Calf Meal Is Governed
Largely by Experience Of Feeder
and VIaor Of Calf.

The use Of calf meal as an entire sub
stitute for milk is frequently observed.
Success in its use in this way is gov
erned largely by the experience Of the
feeder, constitutional vigor Of the calf
and quality and method Of preparing
the calf meal.

NEW FRONTS NEARING
COMPLETION

To one glancing up Third street now,
it would seem that many of our mer-
chants had built sheds over their win
dow fronts, perhaps to keep out the
cold, hut this Is not the case, all are
putting in handsome up to date plate
glass fronts. Such shed is built
across the front of the Nicolls block
which is soon to have a new ten cent
store in business there. The store
is being very attractively arranged.
This will soon be complete. Further
up the street, the Cohn block is hav-
ing new front put in, the large
granite columns taken out. Ingra-
ham and Brushert will occupy this
store, this front is nearly in readiness.
The shed which covers the two north
stores Of the Masonic building has
been taken down as the new front put
in for the Continental Clothing COM
pany Is completed and Is very attrac-
tive. The shed at the corner of Third
and McClellen streets which covers
the front of the store, recently pur-
chased by the Marathon Motor car
company, is still up. Much work is be-
ing done on this building. 1t will he
an up to date plate glass frcnt which
will extend ten or twelve feet on the
McClellen street side. The store is to
be an exhibition room for Ford cars,
and when completed will be very
handsome and attractive
When all these fronts are finally
completed, and the sheds taken down,
the improvements along Third street
will be very noticeable.

OLD TIMES

The following was printed in the
Wausau Pilot July 6, 1886:
"The new Kollock house was opened
at Merrill last Thursday evening. Mr..
and Mrs. Kollock are very popular
with the travelling public and the
'Kollock House will be a favorite
stopping place."
The new Kolock House" is the
building now used by Aug. Kamke &
Son as hardware store.
The Kollocks were pioneer hotel
people on the Wisconsin river. They
kept hotels at various times at Mos
fnee, Wausau and Merrill. G. w. Kol-
lock died at the new Kollock house
some years ago.
Old timers tell us that Mrs. Kollock
was noted as one of the handsomest
women on the river and as good-heart-
ed as she was good looking.
There were no hospitals in those
days and it was up to the hotel and
boarding housekeepers to care for the
sick woodmen whether they were suf-
fering from broken bones or had the
smallpox.
Many sick and injured lumber
jack has been cared for by Mrs. Kol-
lock.
Mrs. Kollock is now sick herself and
is receiving treatment at the Raven
hospital.-Merrill Herald.

CHIPPEWA GONE

Mab-e-no-qua, better known as Mary
Wildcat, formerly Mary Seymour,
passed to the Happy Hunting Ground
on Saturday, February 21st. She was
forty three years of age and had lived
in this vicinity all of her life. She
was taken to the Laona hospital and
was operated on for tubercular peri
tonitis by Dr. Ovitz. There was little
hope for her recovery at any time.
She was buried in the Crandon ceme-
terry by the side of her former hus-
band, last Sunday.
Mabenoqua was a typical Indian
woman. She possessed in the highest
degree all the craft and cunning of
her race. She knew the woods thor
Oughly. AS a marksman she had few
equals even among her own people
Her fame as successful hunter was
well known by all her tribe.
During the past sveral years Mrs.
Wildcat has lived in the city of Gran
don and was we'll and favorably
known by everyone. The passing of
Mabenoqua will be mourned by the
entire Chippewa tribe.-Crandon Re-

Having pushed to passage the State

laying out State Trunk Highway Sys-

marking, the Good Roads Association
Of Wisconsin is naturally interested

thousands of tourists which the i'm

We receive every year thousands of
requests from tourists as to proposed
routes to take in Wisconsin. Last
year we received many compliments
from tourists who were unable to Sc
cure hotel Accommodations in different
parts of the state, complaints which
will deter them from coming to Wis
consiL.
There is every indication that the
number of tourists this year will ex-
ceed that of last year. 1t is obvious
that sufficient hotel Accommodations
cannot quickly be provided for them.

modations for tourists who cannot 9TH
eT wise be cared for-the setting aside
of a park or an area in or adjacent
to the city with accommodations for
campers and facilities near at hand
where meals may be obtained.
Possibly your city may be in posi-
tion to adequately care for this busi-
ness. If not, have you taken steps in
that direction? Will you kindly ad-
wise us as to your local situation,
whether or not your tourist accommo-
dation are sufficiant and what steps
you are taking to make them so, if
not adequate"
The Chamber of Commerce answers
by saying: 1--WE cannot take care of
the crowds unless something is done
in way of preparation"
1t has been proposed that a caR' ping
site be arranged for those who are
prepared to camp out. Unless prep

going to lose a great opportunity.
