alone. 1t is queer, isn't it? Yet if be comes in
contact with one Of the bellies his only idea
is TO get her away all to himself.
So many must stand up and show their
gowns and look as il they had actually turned
the men away because they were tireseme. II
caught in this way and YOU have a fan and IL
you will keep away from the other women you
will do well enough. Make up your mind
whether q profile view front view is the
best. and turn that first to one part Of the
room and then to another. Very likely YOU
viii hear from somebodythat the yheard q man say
who is that stunning girl over there who
stands weil?' and that they think the girl Was
YOU. That is a good deal of popularity for
these times when it is hard to make men
notice anything. The one thing a woman NAV
not do is to move from where she Is without
man to see her through. The girl is lost. Il o
matter how well she does il, who attempts TO
cross the room by herself She may be as
graceful as ever She can be and hold out her
ian and show of her dress beautifully. but it
won't do. She may stand up and pose by her
self all she wants to. or should saw all she has
20. but she must not walk about Besides il is
dangerous. man might have almost made up
his mind to come and speak to you. and if you
go reckiessly moving about he NAV feel it too
long walk. Never take chances like that.
Remember, in decorating YOUR ball room the
idea must be not so much to make handsome
room az to make a room in which Yourself and
your guests will look well. Dark or neutral
walls. or, better still, panel;ngs of dark wood,
side lights, ana never chandeliers. produce the
best effect. Nothing Is 80 hard on women and
on a room, too, chandeliers or light from
the ceiling. 1t makes shadows under their
eyes. and that is only becoming in novels
where the suffering ladies of high or low de-
gree arise in the morning, or appear at the ball
at night. with great purple shadows under
their eyes On the ordinary woman out OF a
book this effect adds ten wears to her age. The
hlll-Dackad of OF
have been so very comfortable, but they
were much more becoming than are the
modern spindiy gold ones that mako a
little woman look like a mosquito. end a big
woman seem a mountain. Maybe the folks in
the old time did not speculate and philosophize
- much as we do nowadays, but they seemed
to get at things a good deal more surely than
we do. That is, things about women. They
let her sit down in great solemn chairs and
walk around in sember halls. and the result WAS
that women had ballads and sonnets written
about them, while now they get things like
sweet bells out Of tune" where all their little
defects come out in the electric light that is
always on them, and it is hard.

Purple is the most popular color; it is al
most craze for the passing moment, but a
brunette or pale blonde should not dream OF
adding dash to her suit with it, A ''high-col-

thickly dotted edges of different color. One
handsome veil OF wide neshed black was dotted
with purple sparingly over the face, but heavily
in vine pattern at the edge. On q black velvet

A small featul ed woman should wear simply

she should not wear bordefed veil, % that de-

there is art in fastening veil jauntiiy and

broad hat, gather it lightly in the middle and
pin it the folds to the hat.

A lovely ball gown is made of delicate crepe
over silk Apparently it is all one piece falling
from a square neck. 1t is very full indeed on
this square neck band. and the girdie that
passes about the body under the arms and up
10 point IN the center makes q sort Of all
around pun Of the full stuff. Another girdle
pointed little both ways. up and down, in the
back and at the front and very narrow at the
sides goes abou. the waist, and another puff is
thus formed of the full material. which gives q
loose effect between the grdles that is charm
ing. From the lower girdie the material bangs
straight TO the hem At the back
and on the neck band is hung q
very full train which falls free Of the
girdles in Vatican fashion, to quite a distance
on the hoor, mingling with the shorter train OF
the skirt proper. The sleeves are enormous

the arms bare from well above the elbow The
girdles are Of ine bead work; about the edge
Of the skirt and Of the train is border to

The republicans caught the democrats mapping

complete returns show that B. F. Caldwell. re-
publican, has 3s9 majority for mayor, the re-

elected eighteen OF the thirty-six members Of

if gained will give the republicans control of

THE ARIZONA KICKER.
The Editor Declares That the Union Must
he Enlarged.

While Arizona, as a Territory, holds no
second-class position, she demands a right
which the next Congress must grant-the
right Of Statehood. From east 10 west
and from north to south the people are
alive to the situation. We firmly believe
we have The requisite population, even
without counting such critters as the edi-
tor Of our esteemed contemporary. While
we have our idioms, and our bobtail
flush is a surprise 10 outsiders. the
ration Of intelligence compares favorably
with any population in the world. We are
not plug-hatted people but no Arizona
man ever yet blew out the gas before go
ing to bed. We haven't got grammar
down to as fine a point as they nave II
I'm Boston, but when one Of our people
holds out his hand and says, put 1t
thar, stranger IL means that you own
his ranch so long as you can make 1t
convenient 10 stop. We lynch a man oc-
casionally, instead Of waiting Tor the YER
dict of a Jury and a regular execution,
but we never make a mistake in the man,
and we are always consoled by the
thought that he is better off. There are
n few lawless characters hanging on TO
every community, but. they don't equal
the number Of murderers in one single
Eastern State. The abandon which East
tern people claim TO find here is simply
animal spirits. The man who can step
outdoors into an Arizona morning and
not feel like yelling at the top Of his
voice is sick enough 70 send for a doctor.
We trust that the next Congress may be
7 Nosted on the situation, and it shall be
scv far as the Kicker can help IL. We want
tn at body to know that II all the clothes
lin es in the State Of New Jersey were
tied together they would not reach around
one of our everyday mountains; that all
the rivers in Massachusetts would not
make the length of our San Pedro: that
all the pasture lands in Connecticut would
not furnish our cattle and horses more
than one breakfast; that our Colorado
river would flood the whole State OF New
York in a day; that the State Of Rhode
Island could be dropped into our grand
canyon without creating any backwater
and that all the population Of Maryland
would hardly make black spot on the
plains between the Little Colorado and
the New Mexico line Arizona wants a
square deal and is bound TO have it
