Nm. MorrIs Is a model Of missouri

Mrs. Morris is a model Of Missouri
beauty-superbly formed and with the
carriage Of a queen. She has a fair
complexion, with beautiful and per
feet coloring, large, blue eyes; soft,
brown hair, with a tinge Of mahogany;
perfect white teeth. The eyes are
probably the most beautiful feature
Of the face. Mrs. Morris is an agree
able conversationalist and an ideal en-
tertainer. Her husband, although
very young, is one Of Mexico's most
successful grocers, having succeeded
his father in the business butt short
time after his marriage to Miss Locke.
Charles Ward Rhodes speaking to
the judges referring to Mrs. Morris
says:
"When j said that we awarded the
prize to Miss Yeager largely on the ex-
preston, the evidence Of intelligence
and soul, ! did not mean to infer by
that that such qualities we're lacking
In Che other ladies. Far from it, for they
both possess such qualities in abund-
ance, but it evidences itself In a
slightly different way in their express
sion. Take the portrrit of Mrs. Fred
A. Morris, who was known TO us SIM
ly as eS, by the way; that is a perfect
example OF the typical American beau
ty, and, as Is the case with all OF this
splendid type, is full of expression and
Intelligence. Hers is the type so
largely drawn by Charles Gibson, How
ard Chandler Christy, A. B. Wenzel
and other excellent illustrators, and
Is probably the most popular type in
the public eye to-day, that is the pub
lie Of this country, though it has

niece Of the late Judge G. B. Mac
farlane, Of the Missouri supreme
court. Her grandfather, B. L. Locke,
was for a number Of years clerk of Au'
drain county.
Mrs. Morris was a great social sue
cess Is a maiden and has lost none Of
her popularity since becominga ma
tron, although she has withdrawn
from society to a certain extent and
devotes much Of her time to her home,
one Of the pleasantest and most
beautiful in her native city.
She belongs to but one club, the
Wednesday club, an organization OK
the brightest women Of Mexico, which
is at present delylng into French his
tory. Mrs. Morris takes a prominent
part in the work of the club.
Her home life is pleasant, surround
ed as it is with an atmosphere Of the
old-time hospitality and filled with
happenings of elevatlng influence,
both spiritual and mental. She is an
accomplished musician, being a mas
ter Of both the vocal and instrument
al branches. Before her marriage Mrs,
Morris took prominent part In many
amateur productions in her native
city and never failed to please her
hearers. At her graduation from
Christian college she vas the winner
OF the vocalists' medal and was high
ly commended by her teachers.
In 1897, Mrs. Morris, then Miss
Locke, was accorded the distinction
Of representing Mexico as maid Of
honor ~ .he Kansas City Karnival
Krew, she being selected by popular
ballot. In the same year, during
which she graduated from college, she
was a guest Of honor with the excur-
sion of Missouri editors to Old Mexico,
and also travelled extensively through

swarms OF admirers in other countries,
among other nationalities. One Of
its distinguishing charms is intelli.
gence, and this Mrs. Morris face evil
dences in abundance. Her chin is just
a trife too broad and slightly too wide
for absolutely perfect beauty, but
they give evidence of two excellent at
tributes that should not be without
their consideration in judging beauty
character and selfreliance. Mrs. Nor
ris is undoubtedly a woman of great
force Of character and is fully capable
of winning a way in the world in the
face Of no mean opposition. These
qualities especially recommend them
selves to us in the discussion of her
merits, though they were, of course,
not the only ones. Hers is a maturer
type than Miss Yeager's and her
qualities would doubtless arouse a
greater interest In almost any assem-
blage, for they are more striking. Her
eyes and hair are perfect. That the
expression and the shape of her eyes
are absolutely without a peer vas the
almost unanimous vote of the entire
jury on award and the auxiliary COM
mittee. Her features are very good,
too, that is, In their relation one TO
the other, the proportions are fine,and
the neck, shoulders and bust are sim
ply splendid. She is undoubtedly a
woman Of elegant, graceful carriage, a
queenly woman, and a woman Of
splendid executive ability. The ex-
preston of her face indicates a kind
and loving disposition, but for all
that she is probably not the sort OF
woman to whom her husband could
come home very often after the mid
night hour with diaphanous tales of
clubs or lodges without being brought
to the line 10 earnest in very short
