QUEEN IS KEPT BUSY
Committee in Conference
With Miss Hinton.
HAS NOT SELECTED ROBES
Eight Young Ladies to be
Maids of Honor.

! Miss Myrtle Hinton, the queen-elect OF
/ the carnival, was one Of the busiest
young women in Wichita yesterday.
From early morning until late last night
she was receiving the congratulations OF
her friends and was also in consultation
with members of the queen committee re-
CARING the plansfor the coronation.
Miss Hinton found time during the day
to look, just little while, at samples Of
cloth for the splendid robes which she is
to wear at the coronation and during the
different events of the carnival. She
made no selection yesterday, but that
matter will be decided later on.
Miss Hinton was kept busy at the tele-
phone in her home on the night the con-
test closed in receiving the congratula-
tons of friends. The telephone bell rang
at intervals for more than two hours, and
yesterday morning early a number of
boxes Of splendid flowers were sent to the
home of the queen.
One Of the things which came up for
consideration yesterday by Miss Hinton
and the committee in charge was the
matter of the queens float of the flower
parade The decision was made that the
float is to be decorated in white and gold
and will be drawn by four white horses
with a number Of footmen in atten-
dance. The queen will sit under canopy
In the rear of the float and will be visible
to every one.
Miss Hinton was seen at her home last
evening by reporter for the Eagle and
in conversation she said:
81 was much surprised at the honor be-
slowed upon me and have not recovered
from it yet. My friends have been very
kind to me and I have been receiving
congratulations all day. From early this
morning until just now I have been on
the rush and yet it seems as though
nothing has been accomplished"
Have you selected your robes yet "
mo. The selection has not been made.
I have looked at a number of pieces Of
goods, but Will not decide for a little
while yet
What are you considering for your
robes?''
well, they will either be Of brocaded
silk or plain white silk. There will be
cape, too but have thought nothing of
it, but presume that it will be purple"
How do your purpose to spend the
money appropriated by the committee?"
at will all be spent IN the robes and
cape. OF course there will be other
things to think of when the time comes
but just now, have no idea as to more
than those"
Have you selected your maids of
honor yet?''
NO they have not been selected OF
course I have been thinking about them
but no definite decision has been made
There will probably be eight maids of
honor, and perhaps only six, but prefer
eight. They will all be gowned in white
I'm addition to the maids Of honor
there will be two flower girls for the
coronation and also a page.
These things have all come on me so
sudden that have not had time to think
everything over, but will announce the
selection of the maids of honor just as
soon as they are made"
Yesterday Mr.. Edward Vail ordered a
fine crown set with jewels from the east
and this will be used in the ceremonies
of the carnival week. The crown will be
a fine one and even more elaborate than
the one used last year

dreds of dollars In trying to get it healed.
Two boxes of BANNER SALVE entirely
cured it" G. Gehring, 400 E. Douglas;
