MIR. VAL Efinger entertained num-
Der of friends at a dance at his home
IN Pilot Knob last Monday evening
The occasion was in honor of some
relatives who were visiting from ST
Louis, and those who were so fortunate
as to be present inform US that the
evening was most enjoyable one in
every respect. The refreshments were
delicious and in abundance and the
a hor IF I
lrontOn, Graniteville and Pilot Knob
were all more than delighted with the
hospitality and good cheer of their
host.
Burton's Colossal Golden Shows
which were billed to exhibit here last
Sunday failed to put in an appearance.
1t is understood that they are in the
hands of the sheriff of Cape Girardeau
County who has them in charge be-
cause of some debts. 1t seems that the
show has been travelling by wagons
and the boss left them at Cape Girar-
deau last Friday to go to st. Louis
and make arrangements to travel by rail
hereafter. On his return the following
day he learned that some of the en-
ployees had attached the outfit for
their salaries. This enraged the boss
aud he determined to fight the case in
the courts-even if it did tie up the
show for ten days or more. That's
why the show didn't put in an appear
ance in Ironton Monday.
The metropolitan papers have de-
voted considerable space of late to the
discussion of the new woman. Col
umn after column has been written
about boomers, knickerbockers, leg
gings. hats, collars and cravats. In
these discussions it has been generally
conceded that the new woman had ad-
vanced fartherest ard was making
most rapid progress in the eastern
cities and swell summer resorts. This
may have been the case up to ten days
ago but it is a fact no longer! West
ward the march of empire takes its
way, and to the west we must in future
look for the new woman in her most
advanced stage. Yea, even in the
confines of the peaceful and delightful
Valley Arcadia has been inaugurated
the innovation that thoroughly revo-
ldtionizes the new woman, and marks
the turning point where even bloom
ers are cast aside and neat fitting
trousers donned in their stead. BY
the merest accident was it the writer's
good, or bad fortune to catch a glimpse
of the thoroughly new woman in the
only up-to-date attire. 1t was one OF
the beautiful nights OF last week. The
air was bracing but not cold, not a
cloud blackened the sky, and the moon
in refulgent splendor made the night
as bright as day, gentle breeze ruff
fled the leaves, whose alternating
shadows, now here, now there, were
not unlike the Eoiseless and graceful
movements of the sprites of delightful
fairy land. With his thoughts in full
consonance with these romantic and
inspiring surroundings the scribe
wendell his way to one of the side
streets of the city. He was lost in
meditation, contemplating the beau
ties of nature, SO peculiar to the night
and season. Not the semblance of
things substantial nor disagreeable
disturbed his thoughts. He was alone
and in complete enjoyment Of natures
splendors. But on turning a corner
he was suddenly brought to realiza-
ton Of things real by seeing two
youths, CARRIED in evening dress, just
in front of him. Their trousers, coats
and and vests were of latest cut and
pattern, brilliant stones sparkled from
their shirt fronts and the delicate re-
ception tie surrounded the latest thing
in collars. They were laughing, jok-
ing, and evidently on pleasure bent.
BY this time they were directly oppo-
site the night wanderer, and, imagine
If YOU can, his horror on recognizing
instead of two Young men, two of the
Valleys most winsome and charming
lady visitors. Before the wanderer
could utter a word they both cried out
in unison. This is the new woman
I'D to date: look for us on the bikes
tomorrow With that they quickly
disappeared;. the writer stood as in a
trance and finally had to punch him
self to be sure that it wasn't all a
dream. But it was cold. stern, and
cruel reality. No more contemplation
of natures beauties for that evening.
The enchantment had been rudely dis
PEELED To think that our tailors and
lovely woman's will be the same. No
more dainty laces and fabrics, and rib
bonsi No more easter bOnnets and
bills and frills. Has it really come to
this? Oh perish the thought!
