When State societiex reached the height of their prosperity in Wash- ington the citizens of the Badger commonwealth i after the manner of the day, and for 10 years this activity ranked with the most progressive in its clasd. The organ ization was perfected in October, 1915, in the Washington club and some of the best citizens of the State were in attendance. Frederick Esch called the gmeeting to order and the late Senftor La Follette made a fiery and characteristic speech. Raltha 3. W WARRIS- Balthasar H.

Among these were Rep- resentatives Harry Allen Cooper, John Jacob Esch, now a commissioner of | interstate commerce; James A. Frear | apd Edward Everts Brown. The Uni- | versity of Wisconsin had already in existence a large and powerful alnn- nl association and nearly 100 of its members attended this Initial meet. | ing of the State society and joined | " its ranks. In addition to this influ- | ¢ ential body there were present some 300_residents of the State and about twoXhirds of these also joined. With such an encouraging outlook. this organization entered at once on a program of diversity and of unusual attractions. No officers were elected. but a chalrman was selected for each |} entertainment, which for several years took the form of banguets and balls. | { These dinners were generally given || in some unpretentions place that every member might feel able to en- oy them, but they were, nevertheless st successful affairs and so were the dances, held in some central hall. ! Noted Soclal Gatherings. Some social gatherings during the vears 1915-1918 were held in the Wil- son Normal® School. Once a year Commissioner Mever entertained the entire membership of the State soclety at his home, Highland Manor, now occupled ‘by Admiral and Mrs.” Cary Grayson. Mr. Meyer had been for vears an instructor of law in the university at Madison, and it was|; mainly through his influence that the Jocal alumni gave the new society such streng support. These enter- tainments at Highland Manor usual- Iv took the form of picnics, though literary features were added. An- other loyal supporter of the organi- ration was the late Paul Reinach, who was Minister to China, also a Uni- | versity of Wisconsin man and a lead- ing member of its alumni.

PARIS, September 25.—A uniforma coating of dull, dark red paint, at- tempting to imitate sunburn, is now being applied to chorus girls at Nice and velvety white has disappeared temporarily from the stages of the Rivera theaters. . No reform wave was intended by the directors when they lssued the order that all chorus girls must paint their bodies with a layer of the red- dish paint. They were concerned over the fact that a chorus, sun- burned to various tints of brown, mingled with the mild white of the non-bathers spoiled the color scheme. A white grease paint was at first at- tempted. but even then the difference between the complexions of the beach favorites and the water shirkers was quite noticeable and the charms of the delicately colored costumes—what there is of them—was ruined. The director of one Nice theater re cently decreed that he would d charge any girl who spent her days on the beach. For two nights his chorus was decreased by 75 per cent Now he has accepted the red paint idea STORM SINKS SCHOONER. Sherman of 3-Masted Delta Drowns Off East Coast. MOBILE, Ala..
