GIRLS CLUB
FASHION SHOW
AT HIGH SCHOOL FRIDAY
APRIL 15TH-MOTHERS
INVITED

| The High School Student club of the
Girl Reserves will participate in a
Fashion Parade" at the high school
on Friday afternoon, April 18th at
three o'clock. The idea of a Fashion
Parade" has grown out of discussions
that have been held at meetings of
THE club during the past month and a
half.
Decide Right Dress
The girls definitely decided some
time ago that thin georgette waists,
extremely high heels, short skirts,
fancy silk dresses or old party clothes
were not the proper thing for wear
at school. They approved the type of
clothes they thought school girls ought
ITO wear, the Peter Thompson being
voted the most popular. The pleated
plaid skirt with a simple blouse was
also approved. DRESS expresses per-
sonality" said one of the girls, land
it is a psychological fact that if you
dress a part, you will look that part"
The slogan adopted by the girls was
Say 1t with Clothes" and the dresses
exhibited will be supposed to charac-
terize Style, Simplicity, Suitability and
Service. The Fashion Parade" will
also be featured by two little plays
showing the right dress standards and
the girls will appear in costumes
showing right and wrong standards
for school dress street and travel, par
ties, about home, summer camp and
conference and graduation.
Exhibit Shoes
There will afterwards be motion pic
lures of Y. w. c.. A. work, and an
exhibition of shoes approved by the
bureau of social education of the ma
tional board of the Y. w. G.. A. will
be held. All those who are interested
in the matter of proper dress will be
welcome at the show, according to
Miss Alma Blandin, secretary of the
Y. w. c. A., who with the assistance
OF school teachers, is directing the
parade. No admission will be charged
but collection will be taken up to
help defray expenses.

Borchardt were brought into munich
pal court Monday morning as result
of the raid and the evidence produced

ton under charge of violation OF
the state prohibition laws. Pleas of
not guilty were entered and the date
for the preliminary examination was
set for April is. Bail was fixed at 5000
apiece. The other three places raided
revealed nothing of an discriminating

WILLIAM OWEN HERE
NEXT SATURDAY


There was a time, and not so very
long ago, when the name of William
Owen was one with which to conjure
in the classic and Shakespearian dra-
ma. That the name has lost none of
its potentcy is assured by his return
to the stage at the insistent call of
the big centers of learning throughout
the country. Resigning his occupan-
cy of the chair of dramatic art at the
Centralizing school of Chicago, the
distinguished scholar and actor is now
at the head of his own company and
will be heard at the Grand Opera
House on April 16. That his presence
will be welcome is already attested by
the keen interest in the announce
ment of his coming.
Mr.. Owen is surrounded by a COM
pany selected for individual merits as
players. Miss Rita Douglas is the
leading woman. She was last season
with LIONEL Barrymore in Richard
Ill., where she made a distinct and
lasting impression. At times when
Mr.. Owen consents to play Romeo, she
will be the Juliet in the immortal love
tragedy of "Aomeo and Juliet" J. w.
Mcconnell, whose success is synono-
nous with that of Mr.. Owen, will play
the character roles again, and this as
sures that the roles will be nobIy
played.

OPTIMISM

Optimism is the sunlight that
turns all that it shines on into gold
It>is courtesy to ones fellows; happi-
ness for oneself; and gratitude to
ones Maker. 1t is hope, zeal, brav-
cry, and joy in living.
The optimist is never baffled, new
err beaten, never discouraged, never
tired. To him obstacles are merely
things to be neutrality-suspicious.
opportunity-for optimism is the ker-
mel of fortitude, courage, energy and
achievement.
The optimist turns a smiling face
to the world that disarms envy, jeal-
ousy and hatred, and warns its heart
to friendship and human helpfulness.
And the world in turn smiles on
the optimist and denies him nothing
of riches or reward.-Jay B. Farrar.

SPEEDING IN THE YEAR 1884
Costly Pastime for New York Stage
Driver, Who Was Fined $40
Twice in a Day.

Speeding is an ancient evil in New
York streets. AS long ago as 1884 the
police had their troubles with road
burners" although, of course, they
drove horses then, not rotor cars.
Here's what a newspaper said about
the ancestors of the present day sons
Of Jehu, one of whom was arrested
twice in one day, the New York Sun
points out:
The shameful conduct OF the omni-
bus coachmen, who are continually
driving their horses through the
streets at the top of their speed, has
at last attracted the attention of the
proper authorities, and yesterday
morning Stephen Colvin, the driver of
the Samuel w. Seely (Andrews' Dry
Dock Line) was brought to the upper
police office and fined $40 for fast
driving.
"In the course of the afternoon the
man was brought before Justice
Hopson at the lower police office on
the complaint Of Aid. Pickett for
driving and racing with the
merchant stage, driven by Van Kuren.
Colvin was again fined $40, which has
been paid by his employer, and he was
liberated. Van Kuren was extremely
to the magistrate, and not
being able to pay the fine of $40. and
in default thereof, was committed to
the bridewell."
