mer's eight-by.ten grip-ssck, and the soci.
with the big black, burly porters many
times each day.
This week the most notable occurrence
has been the Bar association meeting which
took place Tuesday and Wednesday.
Big wigs from all over the state were
here and as they were here as much for re-
creation as legal lore they evidently en-
joyed the situation.
Among these, the most eminent lawyers
of the country, there could not help but be
men of grand intellect and even in CONVEX
sstion, keen wit, apt illustration aud fine
points were conspicously plentiful.
The banquet which wss given Tuesday
evening was al elaborate affair, the menu
being a carefully prepared one not only in
its epicurean serving, but In the manner
in which it was printed, the paper being
let letters and bordering.
THE BANQUETING TABLES
were in the form of a hollow square and
each individuals name was placed on the
plate allotted to him.
Eighty gentlemen sat down at once and
ss The tables were adorned with flowers and
fruits snd napkins folded so as to represent
boats, shells and fans, the effect was fine.
A novel feature oil the banquet, worth
mentioning. was the drill of the walters.
Each man fell into line under the direc-
| ton of the caterer and the relays were
brought in with the regularity and precis-
ion marking the well trained soldier.
During the progress of the banquet, mu-
sic lent its sweetest strains and after the
wine came in and convivaliiy began to
reign, laughter and applause made the ho-
tel building ring again.
1t is said one digniied old Judge re-
marked to q comrade that the younger
men were on the "verge of getting drunk"
and this might have been possible as it was
told and re-told during the convention that
the law was "high" calling and if a prac-
teal illustration was given, surely it was
pardonable, especially as the better halves
were all at home taking care of the chill
dren.
It's said, too one fat old Judge got stuck in
window, installing it for door, another
| tried to open his room door with q tooth
pick, another pocketed his napkin, while
still another wanted to bet five dollars that
he could "kick higher than any man In
Missouri" There may have been no truth
in these rumors however, champagne
lies" probably invented for the occasion.
Entres nous though, some ladies who
passed through one of the upper halls at
six o'clock the next morning declared that
they were obliged to cover their eyes and
peep through their fingers because some
open doors revealed,
| 'Sigh;s not strange perhaps,
/ But better left with some
| Slight covering"
After the departure of the barristers, q
lonely feeling for short time seemed to
hover around with "black bat" air, but
soon new arrivals brought about renewed
activity and in short time the gaps were
filled and life and good cheer and fir
tations and children and widows and maids
and maneuveribg mamas and spring water
fresh air and gsyety were prevalent on sll
hands.
/ DANCING PARTIES ARE IN VOGUE,
and the bath house is we'll patronized
Apropos, your correspondent while swing
ing around the circle,discovered something's
worth relating concerning the fair feminine
bathers, and, Just like 'borrid man" will
tell what by careful computing he has
summed up: First, nine out OF ten women
are bow-legged, four out of six have thick
ankles, six out of eight have too much
fullness about the waist, seven out Of eleven
are too broad across the hips, six out Of
seven have overlapping toes, eleven out oil
twelve have corns, and only one In twenty
FIVE has the graceful proportions of 8
Venus.
Don't imagine, young and unsophisti
Gated Paul, that Virginia is all she looks
for she isn't by any means, aud as as ar
actual fact, here is Just what one of the
dear creatures put on after leaving the
: bath:
First, she donned curious looking littl,
garment with short sleeves and pockets il
front, then she slipped on a pair of "sur

pair Of red hose, then she ran on some
thing which had the appearance o

she slipped on red corset, over this
