Into a pan Lucy poured some sugar

into it. making q CLASSY coating all

hard and dry, Lucy tied tissue paper

Sailors Tales Fired Garibaldi's Ambition

Giuseppe Garibaldi's father hoped
that his son, who later in life was
to help in uniting the states of Italy
into one nation, would study for the
priesthood. Garibaldi liked adventure
and didn't show much interest in his
fathers plan. He would sit for hours
and listen to the stirring tales of sail
ors who lounged about the docks of
Nice, where he lived.
These stories fired his blood and
made him long for chance to have
such adventures himself. He heard
of the battles which his countrymen
had with the Austrians. and how often
the Italians were forced to flee for
their lives before the enemy, who
were more experienced in fighting. He
hoped that some day he would be able
to help his country.
Giuseppe liked to talk over with
the other boys the adventures which
had been told to them by the old sail
ors. and they listened eagerly to all
that he said. That's how he and two
of the boys happened to plan to sail
in a small boat, which one of them
owned. for Genoa, some distance away.
The scheme was to start early the next
day. Accordingly, the following morn
ing they were on hand, and, with food
which they had managed to get from
their homes on the sly. they started
The day was bright. the lake was
smooth, and they had a fine time as

A well known society bride of the
Winter did much to popularize the
all-white wedding. Bridesmaids and
maid of honor all wore gowns of white
panne velvet. The maid of hQlors
frock was edged with a wide band Of
white fox, and bridesmaids and maid
of honor all wore large white fox
scarfs with Dutch caps of silver lace.
So well was this idea of the white fox
scarfs received that at least one Spring
bride is providing her attendants with
full neck ruffs of ostrich features TO
match their frocks.
With the coming of Spring and
Summer we shall see bridesmaids
wearing wide brimmed hats, but there
is a decided liking now for the little
Dutch cap of tulle, closely fitted over
the head and with fiaring little br1m
held out by light, invisible wiring.
These little tulle caps have the de
cided advantage to the inquisitive be
holders of giving an opportunity of
seeing whether the bridesmaids have
short hair or long. For some reason
that IS one of the questions you are
always asking after you have been 10
an interesting wedding.

tional or smartest, or most well bred
type Of frock among this rather dis
concerning variety. If you go to half
a dozen Of the smartest, most fashion
able weddings Of the Spring you will
probably see a half dozen different
sorts of wedding gowns.
Doubtless the mood of the genera
ton of young women of marriage age
has something TO do with this. II is
not entirely the dressmakers' doings.
These young women look forward to
the choosing of their bridal clothes
with as much youthful pleasure as
brides ever did. But instead Of look
ing at it as a fearfully solemn per
Torrance it seems more like a joyous
sort of pageant. And it seems to be
every young girls ambition now to
have her own bridal pageant just a
little different from that Of any one
else.
The bride-to-be who wants a we'd
ding gown quite appropriate for the
occasion, but useful also for other oc-
casions, is wise in selecting white tulle,
which has come forward within the
past few weeks as one of the impor-
tant materials for Spring bridal gowns.

thrown into the cold water.
In the meantime they had been
missed at home. Some one had seen
them start in the morning, and, much
to their relief, their parents soon came
up in a larger boat and rescued them.
This incident convinced Giuseppe's
father of his sons fondness for the
sea and for adventure, and so he gave
up his plan to have him study for the
church.
During Garibaldi's youth and early
manhood Italy was not the united and
powerful nation that it is today. He
had shown great skill and bravery as
a soldier. and so was placed ut the
head of an array Of partiots who hopad

When the girls in the sewing class
were talking to their young teacher
before school began, some one had
mentioned lollypops, and Miss Hughes
had said that when she was a little
girl she had never had lollypops.
Don't you like them?" asked
Frances,
More than chocolate or nougat or
any kind of candy" replied Miss
Hughes, smiling. land the bigger
they are, the better I like them"
Later, when the girls sat around

Mary agreed to bring a peppermint

Lucy, but her voice quivered a little

that Lucy didn't know where she

pop. Lucy lived with a stern aunt
who gave her money for shoes and
books, but never for foolishness like
lollypops.

effect may be secured by bridesmaids
gowns all in q clear pink, with pink
hats with ribbon bows of delphinium
blue and bouquets of delphiniums and

A charming effect may be gained
by the simple device of having the
bridesmaids dressed in frocks Of the
same model as that worn by the bride.
The idea, / believe, started with a
clever society girl in England, whose
bridesmaids had white frocks exactly
like her own. The only difference
lay in the fact that while she wore a
train they did not--and while her veil
was long and extended over her face,
the bridesmaids had short wells COW
ering their heads and hanging down
to the waist. There Is something very
youthful and refreshing about white
clad bridesmaids, but several of the
brides who have followed the idea
have had their bridesmaids frocks Of
similar model as their own but in

n YEVER before, since brides first
IN went TO the marriage altar clad
vi in robes of cleaning white,
has there been such a wide
variety of fashions TO choose
from. So far from presenting any one
conventional style of wedding dress
tor the Spring. the authoritive dress
makers show us such a surprising va
jety of wedding gowns that it is really
iificult to believe they can all be the
product of IA single season. So while
the Spring bridegrooms will look like

clothes are concerned there will be all

skirts that look as IL they belonged
TO the generation of the Empress Eu-
genie: brides In frivolous white chiffon
or tulle frocks, who In any other age
would look like ballet girls; brides in
tong, scant, clinging robes of Moyen-
age inspiration; brides with long
sleeves and brides with no sleeves at
all: brides with bare arms and brides
with arms covered with lace n1its;

BAND WILL HELP
BUSINESS GIRLS

Owing to a conflict of dates. the
Benton County Pomona band,
which was scheduled to give con-
cert at the Valley club house on
the night of April 23rd, will post
pone their engagement. That Sat-
urday night has been spoken for
by the Business Girls who will
put on their fifth annual apple
blossom ball at the Highlands club
house at that time, and the band
will likely be present as an added
attraction.
The band was formed 8 years or
so ago as grange organization,
and is planning to attend the an
nual convention at Auburn this
year. 1t is expected that much val
liable publicity can be obtained
for this county in this manner and
the band concert was planned tc
assist the members in securing
uniforms. In cooperating with 9th.
+ er organizations, and opening the
membership of the band to all mu
sicians who care to join, it is tho
that much better results can be
secured.

FIRE DELAYS
WATER FLOW
Transformer at P u m p
House Burns-No Wa
ter on Highlands Yet


When pumping was started last
Tuesday morning at the Highlands
short circuit, presumably, caused
the huge transformer at the pump
house to burn out. It will be five
or six days before a new one can
be installed, according to Gus
Pearson, pump house operator.
The Highlands pumps were
started Monday morning and all
canals and pipe lines thoroly test
ed out. Everything appeared to be
in the best of condition. The plant
was shut down for the night, it
being planned to start again for
the regular run of the season, the
next day. When the power was
turned on Tuesday morning the
transformer instantaneously burst
into smoke.
What caused the transformer to
burn out is not definitely known.
This is the second time in recent
years that this particular thing
has happened. Pumping will be re-
sumed as soon as the p. P. & L.
can install new equipment, it is
understood.
