An incident of an amusing character.
I'm which women's hatpins filed the IL
tie role, occurred in the course of Gov
crnor Roosevelt's visit to Kansas. On
reaching the town Of Manhattan. in
that state. he found a large crowd as
sembled 10 greet him. and the men had
so completely usurped all the points of
vantage that there was no chance for
the women. who were gathered In tho
rear, TO catch even an occasional
glimpse OF what was going on In vain
tile women pleaded with the men 10
get down They held their positions
and resisted all appeals.
In this emergency one young woman
shouted TO her companions Try your
hatplnsw In an instant every woman
started forward. with her hatpin lev
eled at the offending and obstinate
men. The latter hesitated, but ii was
only for moment AS they watched
the steady oncoming Of the determined
phalanx a panic seized them. and they
literally tumbled over one another ir
their efforts to get out of the way.
The rout was complete and ended Ia
the women getting the best seats in It's
house. And they certainly deserved &,

There is n characteristic story being
told about Lady Roberts and her
trunks. for which the soldiers now ro-
turned from South Africa vuuch. Al
the height of the transport difficulties.
in the teeth Of iratc officials. she ear-
ried eight huge trunks from Cape Town
TO Bloemfonteln. Every one wonder
ed; every one grumbled. No one but
Lady Roberts could possibly have got a
similar quantity and weight Of Luggage
through.
The transport Of stores had been
stopped for the time, the sick and
wounded lacked every comfort. and
those who were not in the hospital
were half starved and half clad. There
fore when a fatigue party was told of
to fetch these eight mountainous
trunks from Bloemfontein station
sharp things were said about 1.-THE
plague of women" But next day sew
en- Of the trunks were unpacked and
their contents distributed among the
'Tommies." The clever lady had
snapped her fingers at red tape and
had smuggled comforts to the men 10
this way. One small trunk contained
her own modest wardrobe. -Chlcago

American Girls.

Is the type of American beauty really
changing? Observers say that it is.
They declare that not only IS the girl Of
the period growing taller, but that her
face Is growing n more decided oval.
her hair is darken brown and that her
eyes are more frequently dark than
light In color. No one is discussed as
frequently and as much as that same
girl Of the period. Awhile ago we dis
covered that her mouth and her foot
were larger than that Of her grand
mother. Later we noticed that she
was taller than her mother, and now
we are told that her very type is chang
cd. And bow shall we account for the
fact that her face Is more oval than
round and her eyes darker? That is
the mystery. Her complexion Is dark
or because she braves bareheaded the
rays of the post relentless sun. She is
taller because she devotes much of her
time to athletics. but as to the other
qualities one can give no suitable an
swer. The triumphant American girl
must remain as much of an enigma as
ever.
