suffrage, all three parties placing il in
their platforms.
There was some talk of some ladies
running for the legislature, but ] don't
think that viii be done yet. In fact,
am old-fashioned and southern enough
in my ideas not to feel educated up to
woman's suffrage yet.
Il have been in Washington since
August, but have not met very many
people yet. ! am very fond of society,
but do not expect to mingle largely in
that of the capital, as / have not the
strength for the exertion. But nothing
would give me more pleasure if could
enjoy it to its fullest extent.
by the way, eastern people have an
idea that everything in Denver is so
high. Now, I find little difference be-
tween the prices there and here, ex-
cept for servants. There a cook is
about SEQ month, but with that ex-
ception things are about the same. In
fact. coal. which is about 81 a ton here,
can be had for $40 there, now hear.
NO, there is not any romance about
our marriage" she continued, laugh
ingly. 1T was just plain, ordinary
courtship. In fact, really don't like
to talk about such private affairs in
public, for they are of no interest to
any one except ourselves. If you really
care to know, will tell you lived in
Maysville, KY, about ten years ago
and there met Mr.. Pence. After we
were married we moved to Denver,
and Mr.. Pence has been a hard-worlS-
ing lawyer there for some years. He
is deeply interested in the success of
the party, and we hope to place
presidential candidate in the field in
1856 with good chances of success
II am glad to have had my husband
elected to congress, since he so earn
cstly wished it. But for myself,
dreaded the breaking up of my home
in Denver.
'.Mr. Pence is always happy. No
matter how things go could never
tell anything by his manner, for that
is Always full of sunshine and one
never sees a cloud of worry on his
brow. As for the populists changing
their name, hardly think that likely.
Ii was tried in Denver last year, but
proved a failure. When one reeollects
what short time it is since we have
been a regularly organized party with
platform, we can not but feel proud
of our success.
Mrs Pence is a beauty, and when a
Kentucky girl is beauty it means the
word must be taken in its fullest
sense Her figure is tall, but plump
well rounded and graceful, something
like the Jersey Lily's.a Her dark
hair curls back from smiling face,
lighted by two big, dancing brown
eyes, while the rosy color in her cheeks
reminds one of some of Tennyson's
poetical country maiden's bushes In
word. she stands as pretty picture
as Old KentuclSn can boast of, and
that, too, when that state claims the
prettieSt women in the world.
Like all of her countrywomen, she is
fond of fine horses. In manner she is
sweet and girlish, with the open cor
diality for which southern women are
noted. Apparently not yet 80 one
can not but feel surprised when young
LATE Pence, a big boy of Q, stands SO
near to his handsome mothers Shout
der. This boy is the only child. Mrs
Pence's home is sweet and simple, with
no attempt at lavish display.
While some may envy Pence his ris-
ing fame in congressional halls, all
VIII e..-s the brightness of his happy
home, of which his pretty wife and
boy are the sun and center.
