At this, the closing weejc of the

LeDten season, many are showing a

belated spirit of devotion that was

not so much in evidence earlier. Of

course during Holy Week there is always a more rigorous attention to matters spiritual. It would seem as peculiarly appropriate that when folks

do emerge from the month or so of

retirement, they will have the privi

lege of a delightful feast of song, with the appearance of Madame Nordica,

in this city Monday evening, April 19 in the coliseum. Her name alone is

a sufficient guarantee of the quality of this recital. No doubt the affair will be largely attended. A number

of musicians from neighboring towns and cities are expected to be in attendance. Ji J Jt One of the most successful and enjoyable surprise companies - of the

early sprlpg season was given Satur

day afternoon for Mrs. J. R. Milliken at her home on South Eleventh street, by a full 'baker's dozen" of her neighbors. Needlework, social conversation were features of the afternoon. Dainty refreshments were served. Those composing the party were Mrs. Oliver Canby, Mrs. Edward Ball, Mrs. J. Davis, Mrs. George Sudhoff, Mrs. Charles Taylor, Mrs. George Becker, Mrs. Samuel Buckley, Mrs. Clara Williams, Mrs. Charles Addleman, Mrs. Albert Mote and Mrs. J. H. Thomas. JI Jl JI Mr. Robert Wilson, assisted by the chotr of the First -Christian church and the organist, Mrs. Wilson, will give a musical and entertainment Wednesday evening, April 2S in the church assembly room. A new pipe organ has just been installed and this will no doubt add to the success of the affair. The program which has not as yet been completed will probably consist of nine numbers, including violin, numbers, cornet solos, piano numbers and a tuba selection. An attractive feature will be the large chorus which has been practicing for some time, i j ji jl Tbe . women who are busy with their spring shopping are stopping long enough to give a thought to the many Easter novelties which are on display at the Jocal shops. Next to Christmas Easter Is a great day for the little people and great is their joy when they discover what the "rabbit" has brought during the night. - A very- pretty novelty seen at a local shop was a large hen on a flat: willow nest and then there was also "Mr. ? Bunny" with a dainty basket fastened on his back, filled with gaily 'tinted candy eggs. Novelties made of a good grade of chocolate seem to be in great demand this season. Easter is after all by origin and observance the festival of spring. ji Miss Chesta Mitchell who has been the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Wilfred Jessup of Centerville has returned to her home in Oxford, Ohio. JI JI Jl' Mrs. Ben Cable gave a very pleasant surprise . party Saturday evening for her, husband Mr. Ben Cable. The affair was in honor of his birthday anniversary.

FASHIONS

One of the fancies of the new season will be all-over soutache net for yokes and sleeves, and this will be used in the color of the costume preferably, although the white yoke and sleeves will be in good order. A variation of the style is the new vermicelli net which has a black or colored ground traced in a braid pattern with fine white silk. Lace and patterned net is just now liked better than the plain net, which has had such long and strenuous use. The newest and smartest gowns are not using as many tucked net yokes as formerly, but the tucks may have a revival when tbings settle down for spring. Hand work is not positively necessary as a means of introducing color in a blouse, although a little hand work of this sort is very desirable. Very fine and dainty embroideries of batiste, with embroidered vines or dot patterns in color, are to be had and can be introduced as trimming in com

bination with a little Valenciennes or

c.uny lace m a biouse ot sheer white

fabric.

FOREIGN MEN "PLEASING

But Do We ChooM Our Husbands Be mum They Are "Pleasing V An American girl but recently returned from Europe Insists that the men of the Latin race are far and away more pleasing to women than the American men. "I met many charming Frenchmen and other Latins," she declared, "and I found invariably that they are mors attractive than oar own men. Now, don't let your patriotism blind you or look wildly around for a band to play The Star Spangled Banner,' so you can enjoy my confusion and shame. Listen to me a minute. Isn't it quite natural, after all, that they should be? The main object In the life of the Latin man is to please women. lie makes a study of it. He devotes most of bis time to it. He has the love of the chase. And then, moreover, be has the background of centuries of old custom, of history. The American, I am sorry to say, does not fascinate. He does not try to please. His mind is occupied with matters which to him are far more Important than being nice to women. He lacks finesse that is the trouble. "Remember, I speak oniy of super

ficial attractiveness. I go no deeper ' than that. I do not intend to discuss whether a large part of the Latin's charm is only a veneer whether the American man has not. after all, more genuineness and soUdity than the Latin. I quite agree with the saying that i

the Frenchman makes the best lover and the American the best husband. But the world over women like the man who makes a good lover. I feel sure that nine out of ten women who have had the opportunity of meeting a great many men of the Latin race and have felt their charm would. If given their choice, choose a man of that race." And then, when the listener bas sufficiently admired the perspicacity of the observant American girl, comes the inevitable question: Do we choose onr husbands because of their "pleasing" qualities?

MARSHALL STANDS FIRM

HE STILL INSISTS THAT THE APPOINTMENT TO THE DISPUTED OFFICE RESTS SOLELY WITH THE GOVERNOR.

COUNT BARONI IS GIVEN TINWARE

Fake Nobleman With His "Old Masters" Fired From N. Y. Hotel.

MERELY A PICTURE AGENT

HE WAS CLEVER, HOWEVER, AND CAME NEARLY GETTING THROUGH WITH A SWINDLE ON THE "FOUR. HUNDRED."

New York, April 5. "Count Baroni" and valet, of Naples, have left the Hotel Gotham by request. Also

with them have gone a score or more of pictures, "Old Masters," which the

worthy count was about to dispose of

at wonderfully small prices, because the ancient family of Baroni needed the money. The only trouble about Baroni, it is asserted, is that he isn't a count at all, but a picture dealer, who sought to dispose of his wares amid a proper atmosphere. He confessed when Manager Ryan became suspicious and asked him pointed questions. Had Roll of BIIJs. "The art dealer arrived at the hotel with a distinguished air. He wanted a suite on the Fifth avenue side, where the light was good. He got five of the handsomest rooms in the hotel and gave the clerk a roll of 1100 in bills to keep for him until he needed them. When several of bis seven trunks were found to contain paintings he explained that he liked to have his

own pictures with aim when be traveled. '

Telephone calls ard inquiries were

so frequent concerning him on the

following day that Manager Ryan call

ed cc him.

He then, Mr. Ryan says, confessed

that he was not a count, but a picture

seller. Manager Ryan took the amount

of his bill out of the big roll and gave him the change.

(Special Correspondent1) Indianapolis. April 5. Apparently Gov. Marshall, Secretary of State Sims and Auditor of State Billheimer, are about as far apart as ever over the question of how the custodian of the

state house shall be appointed and who

shall make the appointment. Several days ago it was said that these three would hold a conference in regard to the matter on Friday. Friday came and there was no conference. Then it was announced that they would get together on Saturday. Saturday came and something else turned up. Then it was stated that they will surely get together some day this week, but whether they will or not remains to be seen. Governor Marshall leaves for New York next Saturday, to be gone about ten days, during which time he will make a speech at a banquet of the National Democratic Club in New York City on April 15. Unless he brings about a settlement of the custodian matter before he leaves next Saturday it will have to, rest for at least another couple of weeks thereafter. Hastings Patient.

In the meantime, W. J. Hastings, of Hammond, is camped on the ground, patiently waiting for a decision. If

the custodian is to be a republican. Hastings is to be the appointee, and be knows it, and that is why he is here.

Hastings has had the assurances of

both Sims and Billheimer that he will get the place if it is finally decided that

these two officials shall make the ap

pointment. Hastings feels confident of the outcome. However, If the custodianship, which pays $2,000 a year, and carries with it the power to band out 24 other jobs, should get away, he will be taken care of by Auditor Bill

heimer in some other way, for the re

publicans at the state house realize the fact that Lake county must be given

some recognition, and that the best job in the state house would not be any too good for Hastings or anyone

else from Lake county. Marshall Is Firm.

Governor Marshall still insists that the authority to make the appointment of custodian of the state house rests with the governor, and not with a board

composed of the governor, the secreta

ry of state and the auditor of state, as is claimed by Sims and Billheimer.

The governor declares that the law taking the appointive power out of the hands of the governor was not passed regularly and that it had no Tight to

be placed in the statute books. For this reason he has declined to meet formerly with Sims and Billheimer for the consideration of the custodian question, for the reason that he refuses to recognise the existence of such a board. When J. Frank Hanly was

governor he made the appointment of

the custodian and there was no interference from Sims and Billheimer, but

after Marshall was elected the point

was raised that there was a board in existence whose duty it was to make

such an appointment. If the appoint

raent is made by a board, as proposed

by Sims and Billheimer. the custodian

will be a republican. If the appoint

ment is made by the governor he will

be a democrat.

The job of custodian is one of the best appointive places in the state

house, and there is generally a hordfe of applicants. This time, however.

there are only a few, and nearly all of

them are Indianapolis men. A cus

todian, can, by the proper use of the 24 jobs he has to give out. greatly help his party, and Incidentally fix up a

pretty strong machine of his own.

FEED YOU MONEY. Feed Your Brain and It Will Feed You Money and Fame.

"Ever since boyhood I have been especially fond of meats, and I am convinced I ate too rapidly, and failed to masticate my food properly.

"The result was that I found myself, a few years ago, afTlicted with ailments of the stomach and kidneys, which interfered seriously with my business. "At last I took the advice of friends and began to eat Grape-Nuts instead of the heavy meats, etc.. that had constituted my former diet. I found that I was at once benefited by the change, that I was soon relieved from they heart-burn and the indigestion that used to follow my meals, that the pains in my back had ceased entirely. My nerves which used to be unsteady, and my brain, which was slow and lethargic from a heavy diet of meats and greasy foods, had gradually, but none the less surely, been restored to normal efficiency. Now every nerve is steady and my brain and thinking faculties are quicker and more acute than for years past. "After my old style breakfasts I used to suiTer during the forenoon from a feeling of weakness which hindered me seriously in my work, but since I have begun to use GrapeNuts food I can work till dinner time with all ease and comfort."

THE OE ILVAIL. THE FIRST SEPARATOR. The De Laval was the first practical cream separator, being the invention of Dr. Gustaf de Laval of Stockholm. Sweden, in 187S. It was introduced in America in 1883. For nearly ten years the separator was simply a power or factory machine. Then, with improvements by Swedes. Germans, and last and best of all by Americans, it bas become the only practical creaming device for the farm dairy, as well as the creamery. There are now more than 1.000.000 De Laval machines la use, scattered all over the world and in every country where milk- Is known. More than 100.000 were sold last year alone.
