New York to sing in opera. His work in "Priscilla" is most in

teresting and his scenes with the fair

The opera will be given June 1 and 2, at the Gennett Theater, as a benefit for the Ladies' Auxiliary, of the Y. M. C. A... Tickets may be secured from members cf the company of the Auxiliary. j j8 jt Several informal companies will be given this week by variour hostesses for visiting guests. Affairs for Mis3 Seaton of Indianapolis will be given by Misses Dorothy and Marguerita Rush, Miss Mable Reller and Miss Ruth Gilchrist. A reception was given last evenin? at Earlhara College for members of the College and visiting guests 'who were here to attend the track meet. The reception hall was attractively decorated with flowers, palms and ferns. Light refreshments were served. One of the changes to be noted in the new spring coats concerns the linings. These are often of plain or fancy Shantung or foulard. For, motoring the white coat is usually a spring feature'. Some that have appeared this year show collar and cuff facings of nattier blue cloth, with jet buttons or pipings and buttons of black satin. Blue serge is always in demand for motor use and some recent models are particularly attractive. One had a lining of Shantung in rose du Barri, spotted with white. The fronts, rolled back to show the lining, were edged with rather a thick navy silk cord. Another navy serge coat had a lining of foulard to match, spotted with white. ; A picturesque model with the very large armhole, had a strapping surrounding the armhole, and the reveres and rolled-Lack cuffs were of tan colored cloth, silk of the same shade being used as a lining. There is a new crepe de chine motoring hood which is simple yet effect ive and becoming.

The hand embroidered waists trimmed with turks and lace are much in demand. The trimmings should not be elaborate enough to detract from the effect of -the embroidery and with a dainty flower design, like that on No. 463, the simpler patterns of lace are the best. The lines for applying the insertions are marked on this pattern and nny desired embroidery design can be used. The pattern is cut in five sixes, 33 to 40 bust. The dotted lawn waist, No. 425, is cut with the sleeves in one with the garment, and the neck is trimmed with square lace medallions and lace ruffles. This pattern is cut in fire sizes, 32 to 40 bust, j Waist No. 417 has a tailor-made appearance, and the fullness can be pushed under the tucks in front and back so that none will show after the belt is put

on. The tie worn with this is made of three strands of plain rrorhetted band, each - ending under a crochetted rose with a fourth rose at the neck. The waist pattern is cut in six sbes, 32 to 43 bust. The four-gored skirt of plain white linen has lace insertion in the seams and the pattern, No. 431, is cut in five sixes, 32 to 30 waist. - One of the new guimpe dresses is shown in No. 469. The waist is in one piece and the skirt has five gores. The material is soft finished ecru lawn with facings, buttons and stitchinps of lavender. The pattern Is cut in five sizes 32 to 40 bust. Thrse patterns are 10 cents each. Send orders, giving number and size, to Pattern Department of this newspaper.

HER LOST COAT. The Sequel . to a Ladies' Afternoon ( Card Party. A number of wwueu were putting oh their wraps preparatory to going home from an afternoon card party In the upjier residence district of New York one aftenioou Inst winter when a valuable fur coat belonging to one of them could uot be found. There was. however, another fur coat of inferior quality in the dressing room, which the hostess said lj:id evidently been left by mistake by the woman who hud taken the other garment. The available coat was taken away by the woman whose wrap was missing in the hope that the mistake would be rectified without much trouble. Several days passed. an1 no claim was made for the coat the guest had worn uwajr from the bouse, and tbe woman took it to a dealer, where her garment bad been purchased, hoping that some mark on the substituted coat might be found by which the owner could be identified. Tbe plan was successful, and. much to her amazement, she discovered that the inferior coat was the property of her card hostess. The "lost" coat was found, and on Its return tbe matter was to be boshed up. but the promise of silence was evidently poorly kept. No more Invitations for afternoon card parties have been issued from tbe house where the "mistake" waa made. New York Tribune. Maori Women. Maori women of New Zealand know nothing about kissing. Nose rubbing Is their form of salutation, and when two friends meet they bold each other by their hands, bend their heads until their noses touch and then rub them gently from side to side. This form of greeting is not confined to the women, but is practiced by the men. They seldom meet without rubbing noses. In times of lamentation the Maori women will sit for hours with their noses touching and moan for tbe loss of some chief whom they bare In an probability never seen. The loss of a brother or friend Is enough to start them off for days, all moaning and

bowling plteously. They ere essentially a sympathetic race, and tbe sorrows of one are the sorrows of all.

Too Good to Waste. - A churchgoer and s backslider met on tbe hillside. The churchgoer was bound double quick for tbe church at the foot. The backslider, oddly enough, wss going up. -Hi: You're going the wrong wayT cnlled the churchgoer. The backslider yelled back, but bis answer was lost. -Say." he demanded of the churchgoer the next day. "did yon hear what I saldJ--No," -WelL ITs too good to wast. Yon said I was going tbe wrong way. I said jaa seemed to be going downhill pretty fast yourself.- New Xork $oa.

DEATH OF WOMAN MADE HIM HERMIT Recluse in Maine Mountains Reveals Romance Which Drove Him Away.

TRIED LONG TO WIN BRIDE RETURNING TO CLAIM HER HE MET THE FUNERAL PROCESSION CARRYING HER TO HER LAST RESTING PLACE.

Bangor, Me.,' May 15. Far up the

valley of Crooked River, in Washington county, beyond the limits of the logging camps, lives Jack Wilber, the hermit of Peaked Mountain, who for

thirteen years has dwelt in solitude in

a log hut.

Something of a mystery has always

surrounded this slender, palefaced recluse, whObe physique did not seem strong enough to withstand the hardships of a winter in the Maine woods, and who In every way appeared unfitted for the life which he had chosen to lead. , It was known that Wilber had to his credit 130,000 in a local bank, and this made his conduct all the more inexplicable to those who knew of bis lonely existence. The explanation has. however, been provided by two lumbermen, who returned to Machias from a trip through the Crooked River Valley and who partook one night of the hospitality of the hermit. They Induced him to tell his story which reveals the causes which induced him to forever Isolate himself from the haunts of civilization. This romance of his life, he says, he has never told before. . Hermit Telle Romance. "My home was in the West. said Miller, "and when I was yet young boy my parents died and I wss intrusted to the care of an uncle and aunt who lived in Montana. My new guardians seemed to resent the additional burden which had been thrust upon them, and my life with them waa not pleasant. "As I became older the slights became still more unbearable, and bad it not been for the growing attachment between myself and their daughter. Mary Stonlnghem, I would have long before started out to find employment and. if possible, a less Irksome existence. 'One night, when I was about twenty years old, I asked Mary if she would trust me and wait for me three years. During that time, 1 said. I would earn enough money so that we could get married and go East. - ..Yes. Jack. she replied. I will wait for you three years, and I know I can trust you. "The story of my attempts to gain a living for the next two years is not of especial interest, but at the end of that time I succeeded in purchasing a building let of L. P. Small, who owned a large ranch in Southern California, and by whom I was employed. ' Soon after natural gas was discovered on the ranch, and I sold my. section of it for $30,000. "The three years were nearly up, and my first thought was- of Mary Stoningham, with whom I had been in constant communication. -Finds Sweetheart Dead. "When I arrived at the little town
