At THE NATIONAL CONVENTION
Many Charming Women Visitors at
st. Louis.

Not the least of the many interesting
phases Of convention life, says a writer in
the st. Louis Republic, have been the many
charming women visitors in st. Louis. Mrs.
Fred Grant takes precedence by virtue of
her husbands prestige, combined with her
own happy personality. During the various
social affairs az Washington, where she
spends most Of her time, she is frequently
taken for her sister, Mrs. Potter Palmer.
Yes" she said to me on one occasion, II

while l am obliged to say no,I am not Mrs.
Palmer. l feel f~iattered at the resemblance
always" Mrs. Grant is one of the best
entertainers in the land, and her dinners
are always a delightful combination Of good
eating and a number of congenial souls.
She is an excellent conversationalist, with
more warmth Of manner and geniality than
Mrs. Palmer ever exhibits. She lacks, how
ever, the little touch of style and carriage
which has made the latter woman SO far
famed for beauty. She is greatly interested
in political life, and is up on the money
question to a charming degree. She always
enjoys st. Louis, and has been enjoying her
four days here listening to speeches and
attending to some social life also. l re-

have been here with the senator during his
stay in st. Louis. She is a beautiful girl,
with a great love for music, which has
made her an excellent player. She was a
belle even among the greatest of bellies
during the Worlds fair social functions, and
our st. Louis beauX would have been
charmed no doubt to have extended to her
the graciousness of their attentions. She
is such a prime favorite with her father. one
has but to mention her name to have a
happy smile appear, which even the worry
of the silver question cannot destroy. Miss
Teller is also a linguist, speaking several
languages fuently. If the fates should or
dain that the senator should ever sit in
the presidents chair, his pretty daughter
will be one of the great attractions of the
executive mansion.

The First Charm of a Woman De-

In spite of salves and oils and perfumes
and baths, no woman ever had so much
care taken of her health and her person
as the modern woman has, says Herper's
Bazaar. Indeed, so thoroughly is the care
given nowadays that the unpleasant term
well groomed" is applied to 1t. as if the
object OF the care were placed in the same
category with the brute animals. For it
Is somewhat of a "horsey' age, and to call
a woman a thoroughbred is considered by
many men, and women, too, the best that
can be said Of her.

life, yet in the medieval days-so had
things changed-a lady's toilet, IL not BY
any means a thing of brief or slight matter,
mad very little to do with the bath. When
her hair was pomaded and braided with
jewels, and her head-dress, her gowns and
gear were arranged. the thing was done.
nor was there much bathing done in the
days OF rouge and patches. Even less than
a hundred years ago the habit of frequently

goou' old, careful housewives a nasty

Fellows of Benton. Van Camp lodge
of this place decided to visit them,
and hence chartered train from the
Bloomsburg and Sullivan Railroad
Company. At Orangeville they were
joined by large delegation from the
lodge at that place. They were met
at the station at Benton by the local
lodge and escorted to the McHenry
House where an elegant supper had
been prepared, to which they did
justice as only hungry Odd Fellows
are able. Nothing odd about their
manner of eating, but it was remarked
by bystander, that the only odd
thing about it was that there was any
thing left. They then repaired to the
lodge room, where an interesting
session was held. They returned
home fully satisfied that it was trip
which paid.
