Miss Rena Vivienne, one of the pri
ma donnas in "Madam Butterfly" is
a Duluth girl, and after her gradua
tion from the school there was society
editor on one of the daily papers for
a while. About four years ago an
operatic company were playing in Du
luth and one of the singers took sud
denly ill. Miss Vivienne had happen
ed to have sung the part at an ama
teur performance a short time before
so was familiar with It, and was ask
ed to take the part. She was so suc
cessful that her friends decided to
send her to Europe. She has made
good use of her time there as is shown
by being the choice of Henry W. Sav
age's agents iwhen they scoured Eur
ope for singers good enough to be a
prima donna in "Madam Butterfly."

It was a most delightful gathering
which took place a few evenings ago
at the home of Dr. Katherine Ross,
of Minot, when Miss Carrie McCune,
Miss Kabella and Miss Mable Stewart
were hostesses to the nurses of the
city. Forgetting the cares of the day,
the young ladies threw off their pro
fessional life and entered into the en
tertainment planned for them in the
most apreciative and hearty manner
possible. Luncheon was served early
in the evening and then followed in
teresting stories and reminiscences
told toy the guests.
"No day throughout the year seems
so auspicious to the young folks for
charming entertainment as tbe 14th
of February—St. Valentine's Day. At
that time of the year the winter sports
are at their, height. Then we expect
snow and sleigh-riding, ice and skat
ing, receptions, parties, operas, lunch
eons, dinners, and any other amuse
ment that will lend itself to the sea
son. It is a time when any excuse
for gayety eagerly grasped, and
good St. Valentine suggests many op
portunities for innocent fun-making.
A valentine party is naturally suggest
ed by the tradition of the day, and is
one that can be carried out in many
interesting and suggestive ways. De
corations and refreshments count for
much on such an occasion, when, of
course, pink and white are the pre
dominating colors, while the heart,
bow and arrow are the particular
forms used in both decorations and
refreshments.

THEY WILL TESr THE LAW
Insane Patients Are to Be Accepted at
State Asylum but Officials Are
to Commence Suit.
The officials of the state insane
asylum at' Jamestown will 'hereafter
admit patients from Cass county to
the institution without question. The
contention of the Cass county authori
ties has been accepted by the state
officials and an action will be com
menced soon against Cass county to
recover fees and, incidentally, test
the state law which requires the coun
ties to pay for the care of insane
patients of the county.
Some time ago the asylum authori
ties refused.'to admit a patient rrom
Cass county on the ground that that
county had failed in the past to pay
the fees in accordance with the law.
Mandamus proceedings were. started
before Judge Burke to compel the
asylum officials to receive the patient.
Several days ago word was received
from the state Insane asylum to the
effect that If Cass county would with
draw the mandamus proceeding pa
tients would be received at the state
institution and that a suit would be
commenced against the county to re
cover the fees.
The contention of State's Attorney
be a splendid exhibition of basket ball.
The U. N. D. players will be selected
from the following seven men:
Netcher, Farnham, Sorenson, Mason,
O'Keefe, Oliver and Nelson.
Hon. Guy C. H. Corliss will be the
presiding officer during the debate in
the evening. The question to be dis
cussed is: "Resolved, that a single
tax should be substituted for the pres
ent method in use In America."
"Single tax" is defined as "a tax on
land values." America refers to both
the_ United States and. Canada.
The speakers from Winnipeg are:
H. E. Chisholm, James W. Melvin,
Robert W. SChofield. Those represent
ing the U. N. D. are: William H. Hut
chinson, Scott Cameron, Fred C. Mc
Curdy. The debate can not fail to be
of a high order. Following the debate
wil be held a banquet at the Hotel
Daeotah, at which Professor Vernon
P. Squires will be toastmaster. Every
effort will be made to give the visitors
a fitting reception in the city.

BUSINESS ISJORE BRISK
Willi the Breaking of Blockade Mat
ters in a Business Way Be.
come Brighter.
Business is beginning to loosen up
considerably and shake itself out ot
the somewhat stagnant condition In
which it has existed since Christmas.
This is mcst evident at the banks
which are now doing a much larger
business than they were a week ago.
Now that the branch railroad lines
have been openevl for traffic and mail
is being carried and delivered regu
larly, it is much easier to. conduct
trade. The effect of the breaking ot
the blockade has been similar to the
giving away of a dam, and all the
pent-up business which ordinarily
has been transacted during the win
ter, breaking through and rushing
down upon the local financial institu
tions and business houses which bids
fair to swamp them during the spring
months.
No one has a very good time on
Sunday but women and preachers.
Today, Ash Wednesday, ushered
the season of Lent, which to a large
part of Christendom means an espec
ially holy period of fasting and pray
er. Lent continues for forty days.
Easter comes unusually early this
year, the date being March 31, fully
two weeks earlier than last spring,
and as forty days are to be allowed
for Lent, corresponding to the period
during which Christ fasted and prayed
in the desert, the beginning of the
Lenten season conies early.
This morning at 9 o'clock mass was
held in the St. Michael's Catholic
church, it being the first service held
during the Lenten season. This even
ing services will be held at 7:30
o'clock, it being the imposition of the
ashes service. During Lent, services
will be held every Wednesday and
Friday evenings.
In the Episcopal church communion
was held at 8 o'clock and at 10 o'clock
this morning and this evening the
evening prayer will be held at 7:30.
An address is to be delivered at that
time. During Lent, services will be
held each afternoon at 5 o'clock with
the exception of Wednesday and Fri
day, on which days services are held
in the evening at 7:30 o'clock.
Many and various are the ways in
which Lent •will be observed. Society
usually recognizes it to the extent of
discontinuing dances and formal func
tions during the period, though,
strange to say, card playing is scarce
ly frowned upon.
Among church people the Episco
palians are allowed a wide latitude
in their observance, the general rule
being that each individual shall deny
himself some pleasure and ibe more
generous in his gifts to benevolences,
a special collection usually being made
during Lent.
•Many Christians of other denomina
tions than the Catholic and Episcopal
have taken up the observance of Lent
in a more or less modified form, mak
ing it a season ol special prayer.
In the Catholic church the observ
ance is strict and is definitely defined
both by custom and church canon,
which'every member of the church is
expected to obey in addition to attend
ing the special services.
For the guidance of North Dakota
Catholics the following statement of
lenten requirements has been issued
by Bishop 'Shanley.
In the year of grace, 1907, Ash Wed
nesday, the first day of Lent, will be
the 13th of February.
All the faithful, unless legitimately
excused, or dispensed, are bound '.n
conscience, under the penalty of grev
lous sin, to observe the Lenten regu
lations.
All the days of Lent, the Sundays
excepted, are fast days.
The precept of fasting restricts the
use of food to one meal toward the
middle of the day, and a collation in

the evening not exceeding the fourth
part of a meal—custom, however, au
thorizing the taking in the morning
of a cup of coffee, tea or chocolate,
with a small piece of bread.
Theologians allow for the collation
solid food to the amount of eight
ounces The solid food taken in the
morning should not exceed two ounces.
When the meal or principal repa&t
cannot be taken without serious in
convenience toward the middle of the
day, the order of repasts may be re
versed, the meal or principal repast
being taken in the evening, and the
collation at an earlier hour.
The use of flesh meat is allowed at
all meals on Sundays, and the prin
cipal meals on Mondays, Tuesdays,
Thursdays and Saturdays., except the
Saturday of Ember week. (February
23d) and the Saturday of Holy week
(March 30.)
The use of flesh meat is forbidden
on Wednesdays, Fridays, the Saturday
of Ember week, and the Saturday of
Holy week, on other days, outside of
Sundays, it is forbidden at all repasts,
except the one meal or principal re
past
The use of lard, however, is per
mitted at all times in the preparation
of food.
Both fish and flesh meat cannot be
taken at the same meal, even on Sun
days.
Persons legitimately excused or dis
pensed from the precept of fasting,
may use flesh meat at all meals on
whatever day there is general permis
sion to use it for the principal re
past.
From the precept of fasting are ex
cused: Those under the age of twen
ty-one and over the age of sixty the
infirm and the convalescent, women
bearing or nursing children, those en
gaged in hard labor or other duties
exhaustive of physical strength, those
who from poverty are unable to pro
cure for the principal repast a suffi
ciency of nutritive food.
From the precept of abstinence from
flesh meat are excused. The young
under the age of seven the sick
those .who are so situated so as not
to be able to procure for themselves
abstinence food.
In virtue of the authority conceded
to bishops in the United States by a
recent Pontifical Indult, permission is
granted to "working people" to use
meat on all days of Lent with the ex
ception of Fridays. Ash Wednesday,
and Wednesday and Saturday of Holy
Week.
The dispensation from abstinence
extends to all three repasts in the day.
The usual prohibition remains
against the using of flesh meat and
fish at the same meal.
Where the wage earner, in virtue of
the indult uses meat, all the members
of the household may likewise use t.

upon the household the inconvenience
of double cooking. But, in cases of
this kind, those members of the house
hold, who may be bound by the pre
cept of fasting, are allowed the use of
meat only at the principal repast.
When a doubt exists as to whether
one's condition or circumstances allow
exemption from the precepts of fast
ing and abstinence, council should be
asked of confessors or pastors who are
authoritative interpreters of the law,
and who even are empowered In spe
cial cases for good and sufficient rea
sons, indicated and suggested in Cath
olic theology, to commute the precepts
of fasting and abstinence to other
penitential works.
During Lent pastors will hold spe
cial services of devotion in "their sev
eral churches at appointed times. In
struction of a practical character up
on the Christian duties, the nature
of the sacraments, and the prepara
tion for their reception should be giv
en on these occasions.
Whatever collection is taken up in
the Church on Good Friday, is as us
ual. acording to a letter of the Holy
Father, to be applied to the aid of
the missions of Palestine.

THE HOC MIS JF HIS TROLLEV
Little Porker Had a Bad Hnnch When
He Retired, as February Is Mak
ing a Warm Attempt.
The daily fashion notes state that
rubbers will be worn from now on
and that running brooks and flowing
.water on the streets will be common.
The ground hog had the wrong
hunch when he retired after his brief
outing Candlemas day. He might have
shed 'his furs and built a summer
house according to the present weath
er outlook. February Is trying to
hustle into line as a spring month
and if any further proof that winter
has taken flight is necessary it may
•be mentioned that a prominent citizen
is known to have stolen a bathing suit
a few days ago.
Locomotion, except in street cars,
automobiles and airships is out of the
question, almost, for the sidewalks are
placarded with invisible invitations
.which he who walks may tumble to
without any difficulty.
