The Doings of Few Days Dished UP For
News Readers.

1
the feminine portion of our town to at
tend regularly the arson case trial, and
Notwithstanding the extremely un-
carable hot weather of the past week
every day saw the court room more
than three quarters full of women; and
Especially were the young girls notica-
BILE by their presence; girls not yet out
Of their teens who it would be natural
to think ought to be in school rather
than in such a public place as this.
But the ladies are very amusing and
tend to lend quite spice to the other
wise, sometimes slow proceedings.
They are SO indignant when the law
yers have little jokes between them
selves which they cannot hear, and
Especially is their ire aroused when
those same gentlemen say anything
that pleases the judge which they
miss. Many of them are very much
annoyed at the way the judge (who by
the way they all greatly admire) plays
with the curtain strings and really
some of them talked seriously of send
ling an ANONYMOUS letter to the sheriff
requesting him to tie a knot in the
afore mentioned strings above the
the reach of the judge as when he be-
came interested in some point of law
and dropped the cord it was apt to fall
down and tickle his honor on some
part of his reverend head, causing him
to give sudden jerk to the shade
whereby such a flood of light was let
into the room that the nerves of the
sensitive women were all upset. Next
to the Judge and Mr.. Quarles in claim
ing the attention of the ladies is Cowie.
Opinion is divided, but the balance
seems to be in his favor, for every time
he stirs there is a little buzz of fem
mime voices.
"There he goes!"
| Who?"
"Cowie, the detective you know,
whom the lawyers do not love-"
| How keen he looks"
"What sharp eyes he's got"
"There! he's got another telegram"
and similar remarks attend his every
move.
Notwithstanding the unprecedented
interest manifested by the ladies of the
town in doings of the court room, there
have been several very pretty parties
given lately. Mrs. Will Yule, on
Thursday afternoon, gave delightful
| whist party at her home on Park ave-
nue.. The prizes were won by Mrs.
DR.. Farr, and Miss Bond.
Friday evening Mrs. Allen entertain
ed her friends with euchre party.
On Saturday afternoon Miss Bessie
Charles gave very pleasant French
Euchre party where a great deal of
shouting" and declaring was
done and the prizes-which always
seems to be the important feature Of
these afternoon gatherings-Were won
by Miss Fisher, Miss Kimball and Miss
ClapD.
Mrs. O. S. Newell, who has been
spending her time since landing, with
her sister Mrs. Sabine in Williamstown
leaves today for home reaching Keno
sha on Wednesday. Every one will
welcome Mrs. Newell on her return as
she is one of the public spirited women
whose absence is felt by all.
Mrs. Will Head and her friend Miss
MADEIRA are the guests of Mrs. Fred
Gottfredsen.
Miss Slosson is the guest of Miss
Redeker.
The work of repairing the Women's
gins today and promises very salts
factory result.
1t has been rumored that Mrs. Mat
thews, of Evanston, intends making
Kenosha her home for the winter.
Mr.. Sheridan, who has been on an
extended Eastern trip, arrived in Ke-
nosha last night, reporting tremendous
heat in the region he had just left.

last week with good attendance.
Among our friends, doing business
in Chicago who spent Sunday with us

Howe, Mr.. Steve Kehlor, Mr. Lucian
Lance and Mr.. Hurbert Perkins.
Miss Eva Farmer who has been so i'll
since last January is once more able to
take her place in the social life of the
town.
The bicycle fever seems to have
somewhat died out, owing no doubt to
the extremely warm weather we have
been suffering under. But all the fools
are not dead yet for one afternoon last
week when the mercury registered 9Oo
in the shade party of bicyclists went
up to Racine, actually coming back
alive-(but they came on the train.)
