AN ASTONISlIED MODESTO.

selves fairminded aud possessors OF
q sense Of humor Twas on a day
of early week when a certain auto
cratic modiste, whose tastes arc fcmi
nine law, WAS closctod with Il wealthy
patron, to the impatience OF q score
or moro of waiting fashionables who
occupied every available scat in the
reception rooms and parlor For the
fiftieth time that morning the weary
errand maid answered the bell and
admitted two ladies, who, IN response
to her inquiries, dlsclaimcd fitting
engagement Not Il waiting for
names, the maid opened tho door of
madame's-- private room and an
nounced the arrivals with tho con-
oluding inquiry, "And whore shal. |
ask them to sit, pleaseY" "Who are
they, | wonder" came from madam
within, in an audible voice 81
haven't time to see thom now They'll
have to wait in the hall"
The newcomers, hearing this,
smiled as they looked about the
chairloss, and also cheerless, hall,
and then calmly seated themselves
upon the mirror rest, whiln the older
Of the ladies said PLEASANTLY to the
maid, "Its all right; we can wait
merry nicely if only you manage to
find couple of chairs, but when
your mistress has finished with her
present customer you will kindly say
Mrs. Roosevelt desires to see her."
The confused maid executed the fa-
nous "Roosevelt Quickstep" in max
ing known the distinguished pres
ence, and when madam, the modiste,
made her appearance she was in hue
like unto the fashionable automobile

Apropos Of Mrs. Roosevelt and
her gowns there was never anything
in more exquisite taste than her cos
tune at the great Corbin Patton we'd
ding on Wednesday. The gown was
Of white silk, yelled with black tulle
and with it was worn Il long, open
taffeta cloak, elaborately applied with
white lace, Il full white feather boa
and picturn hat. There was not Il
finer toilet among the wedding guests,
praise be!
WILD WESTERN BEAUTY.
Without Il Shy your leave" the
President has invited a typical West
ern girl to be the guest Of his eldest
daughter in January. "She must
| come for the dance in the East room,"
announced the Presidents; for be it
known that Alice Roosevelt is to have
dance Of mammoth proportions at
the White House in honor of her
debutante estate. Only think of
asking girl from beyond the
Rockies to visit the daughter
of a President, said girls being
entirely unknown to each otherl To
the gallant Roosevelt all things are
possible, and 80 forsooth, Miss Bessie
Mulhall, of Oklahoma, heraled as a
beauty, is about to descend upon
social Washington. What a sensa-
tion she is likely to create to be
sure, for her accomplishments are
rare and racy, employ tho latter
word advisedly, since Miss Bessie
can rope steer, or ride bucking
broncho with the best Of the cowboys
and it was these accomplishments
that won the admiration of Pres
ident Roosevelt and led to an invita-
tion to visit the White House, Miss
Bessie is the original Of Bessie Bran,

She must indeed he wonderful
girl, who at the ago Of II is an expert
