tables and mantel and on the breast OF
this gentle woman, whose face CLOVIS
with the zeal of the Puritan and from
whose honest gray eyes looks the spirit
Of Bunker Hill.

It pleases the Democratic newspapers

Mrs. Fosters Literary Bureau.
Mrs. Foster, who il an eloquent and
convincing speaker, will stump New
York for Harrison and Reid. At the
present moment she is attending to the
publication and dissemination of q series
Of political pamphlets. The first has
already been issued, and is called Job

Foster, whose legal training eminently
fits her to establish the fact that every
essential principle commended for by the
Republican party has been finally sus.

A Woman on "Tinance."
Another interesting pamphlet, "Our
Finances" is written by a woman-Mrs.
Margaret s. Burke, Of Washington, q
specialist in politics and finance. This
lady is more intimately acquainted with
financial questions, and especially the
practical side Of the tariff question, than
any other woman in the country. She is
as familiar with the vaults Of the treas.
ury department as an employee. Her
paper will be n complete refutation OF
tho fallacies of the Peoples party thee.

now being published in chapters in the
Chicago Inter Ocean entitled ''The Story
Of Hercules" being n history Of the
financial policy of the Republican party.
Scenes ut women's Republican Head
quarters.
Whereas ut the national Republican
headquarters there Is much confusion
and masculine hubbub, at the women's
headquarters business is conducted with
gentle deliberation and q mild feminine
flutter. Mrs. Fosters aids are pretty,
refined, educated women. No one seems
pnsexed; no one has as yet acquired the
tsazen exterior popularity supposed to
accompany an interest in politics. Dur.

There was o graceful, yellow haired
girl In q biscuit colored tailor frock,
Miss Romeyn Shaw, OF Binghamtop,
who will travel with Mrs. Foster; there
was Mrs. Flora Ovington, OF Iowa, with
wonderful soft little white curls framing
a face Of great spirituality and sweet
ness. and there was Mrs. L. T.. Howard,
of Boston, a handsome woman with
snowy hair and sad, serious, dark eyes,
who wears the silver cross upon the
bosom of her stern black gown.
The rooms are constantly filled with
an ever changing crowd Of interested
women seeking information and tracts.
OF course Mrs. Foster is the most
prominent figure. She is q fascinating
cohversationist and speaks with en-
thusiasm of tho coming campaign.
