Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1896-08-21

Bernhard, VINO has really the most
remarkable personality Of any living
woman, will not exercise, and hates
fruit unless she happens to feel in a
mood for eating 1t, and still she has
a handsome head Of hair, and this, the
health doctors say, is quite remarkable,
in view of the fact that fruit and ex-
ercise make beautiful hair. She makes
her hair grow winter and summer by
exposing it. For several hours day
that hair hangs down her back with the
air blowing through it and the sun
touching it. Her theory is that wher-
ever the hairpins touch her hair it will
be dull and glossless. In the morning
Nine. Bernhardt's locks are scattered
over her breakfast robe, and caught on
ly by the narrowest Of ribbons, that do
not tie the hair, but only confine it.
Not until dressing for theater is her
hair "done up" and this is for getting
in and out of her carriage in street
dress. In most of Bernhardt's plays
the heroine wears unconfined locks, and
here again madam has chance to car
ry out her theory and show the result
of it in the magnificent gloss Of her
long locks.

pleasing contrasts of the Democratic

Color Combinations.

Purple is one of the colors whose va
rious depths of tone combine well, and,
this being a purple season, that fact
is taken full advantage of in many
ways. Green, too, is very fashionable,
and green and purple also form a
pleasing combination.
Gray and yellow are again seen in
companionship, and, like green and
black, the association always has re-
fined and exclusive look. Curiously
enough, gray and yellow are not COM
monty placed in conjunction by some
freak of taste. Perhaps that is one
reason why the combination seems so
elegant.
Foulard is increasing in favor in
Paris, and probably by next sammer 1t
will be universally worn here, although
as yet little Of it is seen. # ID light,
cool and pretty and suited to the COM
position of charming toilets. Lace is
the preferred trimming, with embroi-
derry and all sorts of white accessories.
Sometimes plaitings of gauze are en-
ployed as trimming; sometimes APP
plication. White is used as much as
possible with all varieties of color and
fabric. Belts of white satin, collars,
vests and cuffs are seen with almost
every kind of costume. Ribbons, both
white, black and colored, are used to di-
versify plain bodices.
Plated mousselaine de cole forms
part of the fashionable costumes. Some
times the plating is plain; sometimes
clusters of plaits alternate with plain
or lace filled spaces.

from the time he announced his can
didacy. Troutman, Potter and Peters
made good deal of stir over the
state with their imaginary candi-
dacies, but they were not in it for a
minute, and their names were not pre-.
sented to the convention. Harry +.
Richter of Council Grove was nomi-
mated for lieutenant governor on the
second ballot. j. f. Greenlee's name
was not presented. Neither was
Troutman's.
Secretary Of State W. G. Edwards,
Treasurer Otis L. Anterior, Attorney
General Dawes, Auditor George E.
Cole. Superintendent Edmond Stan
lev and Congressman-at-La r. w.
Blue were re-nominated by acclama-
ton. The resolutions Endorsed the
St. Louis platform and made the usual
arraignment of the Democrats and
Populists. The convention tabled a
resolution favoring the enforcement
OF the liquor statutes and side-tracked
resolution for submission. 1t was
the only one of the three State con-
ventions which did its work in day.

work when she has forced herself to
partake of the usual breakfast OF
meat, rolls and coffee. One woman,
whose salary depends upon the clear
ness of her brain, has discovered that
a breakfast of fruit, bread and butter
and egg lemonade suffices for nourish-
ment, while 1t does not overhead her.
Her lunch is modelled on the same lines,
iced tea or coffee, iced consomme or
sour lemonade being frequently sub
stituted for the egg drink difficult to
obtain at the ordinary restaurant,
while a cool salad sometimes takes
the place of fruit. After two such
meals as these she goes home at night
ready, after bath and an entire
change of raiment, to do ample justice
to the hearty dinner that awaits her.
Brought up to believe that a heavy
meal at night was injurious, 1t was
only after narrowing experiences with
dyspeptic pangs that she worked out
such summer regime for herself. In
winter both breakfast and lunch are
more nourishing and always mace up
of warm hot dishes, but both are light,
so as Tot to overtax the stomach.

First Lieut.. Motay Of the French
liner La Bourgogne seems to be "up to
the limit" When the big transatlantic
ship saw the German bark Ernst in a
sinking condition, the first life boat was
ordered away to rescue, despite the VIC
lence of the storm. Lieut., Motay was
sick in bed in his stateroom and the
second lieutenant was ordered to COM
mand the boat. But Motay had heard
the order and just as she was cast
loose Of her davits appeared on deck
demanding the right to command his
boat, which was granted him. He was
washed overheard before reaching the
bark, but saved by life-buoy, and
finally succeeded in rescuing all the
crew of the doomed ship. OF such, are
the true sailors.

Step by step we seem to be returning

ways of the savages who used to fight
for their lady loves. Two young New
Workers who loved the same girl, after
many mutual recriminations decided,
both of them being adopts at various
athletic sports, to run hundred-yard
dash for this desirable young woman,
the winner to have the exclusive right
to her affections. The girl, who seemed
herself undecided as to which she pre-
ferred, agreed to this novel contest and
even stipulated the pleasure of being
present. During the race she bestowed
her applause impartially on both con-
testants, and at the close expressed her
regrets to the loser as the perspiring
victor clasped her in his brawny arms
All this took place at Ridgewood, a
popular resort, before large and ad.
miring crowd. In the evening the win
ner and his hard-won bride led the
cotillion, while the loser confided his
sorrows to the barkeeper until an ad.
