Menuing,

Always mend table linen before send
ing it to wash. Provide yourself with
iourishing cotton in different sizes. ac-
cording to the fineness or coarseness of
your linen. Paste piece of stiff paper
over the hole on the right side, and then
darn very carefully with the flourishing
thread on the wrong side. The darn
should reach half an inch beyond the
tear on all sides, and the crossing must
be very neatly and accurately done. 1t
is really more satisfactory to mend these
places before they reach the hole stage,
and it takes far less time.

MISS ROBERTA NJ. SHAW.

This business she resigned to enter the
employ of the Wisconsin and Michigan
railway and rose to a confd, ..tial posi-
ton in the presidents office. On the reor-
ganization of that company she became
the treasurer of the Wisconsin and Michi-
gan Railway company. Even in these
days when women are doing SO many
things that have hitherto been considered
the peculiar field of men a woman treas
urer of an important railroad company is
quite unique. The fact that she has risen
to the position from subordinate posts
where her superiors had chance to
gauge her ability shows that she must
have unusual aptitude for the work.

Not Yet Settled.
SUGGESTIONS ARE MADE
Name of Miss CoIson Finds
Much Favor.

Does the peerless princess want car
nival queen?
That is now the question that IS en
gaging the attention Of the directory o
the Wichita Carnival association
Some say that a queen is a superiority
others say that the carnival must hay,
one by all means.
And there you are.
a committee on queen are going around
sounding the people on the subject and
the sentiment seems to be IN favor OF Z
fair monarch for that week Il Is prob
able that the committee VIII report IL
favor Of having one. The matter VIII bt
decided within a very few days.
Who wiz she be?
If the decision IS in favor OF a queen
and It is almost q foregone conclusion
that IL win be, candidates VIII be named
and the campaign VIII be a hot one
Miss Matte BeaI is suggested. Not q
few are booming her. II IS quite sure
that she would be a good one All OF
her friends are enthusiastic in her behalf
and they are urging the fact that she is
the logical woman for the position. She
is young lady of fine presence and ma
jestic appearance.
Not a few believe that the contest
should not be cOn6ned to Wichita; that
it should be open TO Kansas and Okla
hOma, as the carnival viii, IN every re-
spect be an Interstate affair. Somebody
has suggested Miss Fawnie ColsOn. Of
Caldwell It is not a bad suggestion, by
any means. she embraces the Interstate
idea thoroughly. She IS recognized as the
fairest white giri born in the Cherokee
strip and lives in Kansas. She is now

and refined. Her father Is the mayor OF

who would jump at the opportunity TO

a queen is a recognized feature Of all
carnivals. The people expect to see one.
They take interest in her.
It Is also suggested that the queen
should have a court and that whoever IS
elected should select her maids from
among the faiTest young ladies Of the
state and the territory. IN other words,
il is suggested that the carnival should
have en- elaborate social feature TO IT,.
