Social Functions For Women.

q society woman who was discussing
the merits of several watering places
with view to renting a house for the
summer, but what 10 there for the
married woman to doT'

night, wear our best clothes and after

they are getting up a club called the
married mems club. They say it is in

They like to be together just as we like
to be together"
The tendency of women to give social
functions exclusively for their own sex
Is certainly on the increase Women's
luncheonS have always been popular,
but it is only of late years that evening
entertainments composed exclusively
of women have obtained vogue. Now,
however, women's dinners and card
parties are an accepted fact and are
even more frequently given than mems
affairs of the same kind. Moreover, as
1t has always been an undisputed AK
ION that women dress for one another
much more than for men the gowns
worn at these assemblages are smart,
and In consequence the latter are ex-
ceedingly brilliant. Women's golf tour
naments have also brought this feature
of the social life of our day into great
prominence. In almost every commu-
nifty the golf club represents the best
society of the place, and at a women's
tournament the entertaining is neces-
sarlly almost entirely for women.
House parties are given for those who
have entered for the tournament, and
dinners and luncheons are given in
their honor.
what did we do?" answered q
young woman who had been one of a
large party of girls ut Il well known
country house during a tournament.
"Why, it was just the same as at other
house parties, only there were no men
except our host. We had lovely j
o'clock teas at which we wore our pref
test tea gowns and had delicious
things to eat. Such a rest after our
arduous days! We had late dinners,
too, at which we wore low necked
gowns in the usual conventional man.
ner OF course we all went to bed ear
ly, as we were all pretty tired. but 9th
erwise it was just the same as any 9th,
er party except, as | said before, there
were no men. No great loss either, as
we all agreed. York Tribune.

What Two Women Saw

There is a man in this town who is
marveling over the long range and the
sharp range of feminine eyesight. His
surprise is due to a little incident he
witnessed the other afternoon.
Two women boarded the open trolley
In which he rode and took seat di-
rectly In front of him. One was fat
and spoke in a soft gurgle. The other
was thin, nervous and sharp voiced.
Having finished reading his paper, the
man noted these things in that idle,
trivial spirit which seems to possess
the average trolley rider.
Presently as the car whizzed along
he saw the two women turn quickly,
nod vigorously toward the sidewalk
and hail some one there with an eager
"How do you do?"
The car went buZzing by so fast that
although the man glanced involuntari-
ly in the same direction he caught only
o fitting vision of pink clad girlhood
escorted by something in trousers.
But in that sixteenth of a second the
two women In front saw! The man is
wondering yet how they managed it.
"Was that the young fellow Marie Is
engaged tor asked the fat woman of

Eyes; John Blanks son. Fine look
!, ing, isn't he"
"Well never saw him before. but
he struck me as being too thin and
gawky. But that sort Of hat makes a
man appear like an overgrown school
boy. Marie looked as though she
thought he was pie"
Il should say she did. By the way,
how that girl has improved"
"Yes; she looked better today than
I've ever seen her. A new dress does
so much for a woman"
"Why, that wasn't new dress. That
was the pink organdie she wore so
much last summer. Don't you remem-
Der it?'
"Was 1t really? 1t looked different
to me somehow. Hasn't she changed it
little?"

The Unsanitnry Veil.

wis nave always Cdllcu IOrln the
disapproval of the physician and the
animadversion of the oculist. This fact,
however, has never interfered with the
wearing of these filmy beautifiers.
Now that women are wearing not
one, but two, veils not consecutively,
but continuously, another charge Is
laid against them. They are ruinous to
the complexion, says one authority.
There are some women who decline
to wear dotted wells, there are a few
who refuse to wear wells of any kind,
but the great majority of them would
as soon go out of doors without collar
as without veil. Some of these en-
thuSiasts have been collecting Stats

the deserts, where dust storms are fire.
quent, and yet men habitually resort to
the use of glasses at an earlier age
than women. They likewise call atten-
ton to the fact that women habitually
do fine needlework and embroidery
which is far more trying to the eyes
than the work of the average man
could possibly be.
In regard to the statement that wells
are injurious to the complexion, these
women argue that not only does a veil
keep the dust out of the pores, but 1t
protects the tender cutlcle from the eff
fects of wind and sun and so prevents
wrinkles and retards the inevitable
darkening of the skin by the march of
time. That a filmy bit of silk tissue or
lace can heat the skin and cause it to
be covered with a sticky moisture is,
they declare, impossible. That it can
interfere with the circulation Is also ex-
tremely unlikely. And so madam, Sc

and go on her conquering way,

DEATH PENALTY IMPOSED.
Verdict of Guilty, with the Death
Penalty, in the Case of
James Howard.

Frankfort, KY, Sept. 27.-The jury
in the case of James Howard, tried for
alleged completely in the Goebel as
sassination, returned its verdict at
9:43 a. m. The court room was
crowded with spectators almost
trembling with suppressed excite
ment. Foreman Crutcher of the jury
passed the written verdict up to the
clerk. Deputy Clerk Elliott read the
verdict, which found the defendant
guilty and affixed his punishment at
death.
Howard occupied seat by his at
torney. He did not display the least
agitation, and was apparently uncon-
cerned.
The verdict was surprise, as the
general public were led to believe
that the jury was divided on the
question of the guilt or innocence of
the defendant. 1t developed that the
delay in reaching verdict was over
the degree of punishment, some OF
the jurors favoring the life imprison-
ment, while others stood out for the
death penalty, and finally won their
associates over.
One of the jurors, after the jury
had been discharged, stated that a
number of ballots were taken, but
the first ballot resulted in a unan-
imous verdict Of guilty. After that
the ballots were as to the degree OF
punishment, and on several ballots
ten members voted for the death pen,
atty, while two voted for life impris-
onment. This was while the Jurors
were in the jury room Tuesday af
ternoon. The first ballot Wednes
day resulted in a verdict. The two
| jurors who had voted for life impris
onment gave in to the majority anG
voted for the death penalty.
After the verdict had been rendered

he was followed by his bosom friend
