ents.
The examination will consist of ten

THE RETURNED SUMMER GIRL.
She Is Not What She Used to Be by
a Long WAYS.

She Is Not What She Used to Be by
Long Ways.
The Summer Girl is getting back to
town. There is renewed activity at the
refreshment places, and new coloring
has been given to the peacock pa
rades" on Bull street. which goes to
show that My Lady has not fingered
overlong by mountain or sea.
The returned Summer Girl is one
of the most picturesque propositions
that the town has seen in a twelve
month. She is yet in her summer toy
gerry. A trif1e .wilted, it is, to be sure,
but all the more attractive for that
1t has atmosphere. The fieecy gown
of August still flares about her
figure, or perhaps she sports one of the
trim little white linen frocks in which
she has lived mornings since June.
Her hat is rose laden, chiffon draped.
Across her nose-tip is stretehed'a strip
Of dotted gauze Her hands are brown
under their rings, and egloveless. On
her feet, Well displayed, are the smart
shoes of the moment, cut low as. a
dancing pump with fiat bow, welt
ed sole and Cuban heel. She has wait
ed to get home to get these shoes, for
they were not here in the spring.
Some of the Summer Girls have come
back as Lavender Girls. The Lavender
Girl is distractingly pretty against the

Miss Louise Kingston, Joseph Behan

doesn't, it will.
The commissioners have not yet
made any plans for the Improvement
of the road. except that 1t will be
widened some ten or twenty feet
throughout its entire LENGTH This
work will not be done, however. until
next spring, the county having all the
work in prospect now that 1t can do.
The road is now in fairly good condi-
tion, and even though the amount of
travel has increased greatly, it is
thought that it will be fit for travel
for several months before repairs will
be necessary.

GIRLS TELEPHONE TALKS
STIRRED UP THE BOYS.

She is fond of the telephone, and it
is quite evident that she is equally as
partial to newspaper men-sometimes.
Yet she's a mystery, and even the po-
lice reporter has been unable to run
her to cover.
That the girls at Central are wise
to the game there can be no question
They have furnished more than one
false clue, and more than one phantom
has been chased. But the identity of
the one who is sweet on conversation
is still a question of serious doubt And
the exasperating part of it all is that
she continues to ring up and turn loose
a hot line of speech.
After each talk Central has had a
cruel habit of declaring that the call
was from the pay booth at No. $50,
which is telephone talk for the De Soto.
The member of the Fourth Estate who
was making the winning was piped off
that the bunch of femininity at the
other end Of the wire could be caught
with the goods if the lines were only
laid properly There was no chance for
a false alarm, because Central was GER
tain that the article of talk was coming
from the same pay booth each after
noon
The regular afternoon call was re-
ceived and the wise one who was going
to turn the trick for his fellow crafts
man knew that he would be able to
walk a mile or two before the CONVEX
sation would end. But for all this ne
hurried for the both. His gait would
have made several of the fast ponies
look like they were standing still, and
he drew all sorts of pictures of the
finish. Once at the telephone booth,
and his hand trembling on the knob of
the glass door, he began to hesitate.
With a supreme effort he threw the
door wide open.

else Celestial. The glass box was as
empty as the cradle. And the chair was

Her hat, with it's huge plume, is shaded
from fainteSt purple to palest hyaclnth.
The chiffon veil that flutters back in
the breeze is of the same tint. Her
gown, whether of linen or of cloth, is
also Of lavender and escapes the
ground, showing shoes of russell leath-
er or white suede. OF course the Pur-
pie Girl looks as though she were
dressed for a cab, rather than for walk
ing, but at this time of year every
thing goes
One thing that impresses, one about
the Returned Summer Girls is that
she looks so fit. Weird tales have

The scenes for the two acts give
a view of the hotels at Manhattan for
the first act, and the garden and con-
servatory of a house on Fifth avenue
for the second. The costumes are
spoken of as very beautiful. Archie
Gum, the well-known artist, is re-
sponsible for the designs. The music
in When Reuben Comes to Town" is
full of melody, and there are several
songs for which it is not too much
to predict that will be whistled from
the rNght of the first performance.
There is not a halt or hitch, it is
claimed, in the hilarity from start to
finish; one surprise follows another
with rapidity and, one novelty is no
sooner gone than another appears.

written with the conviction that there
were a great many people in the world

they would prefer a, clean comedy with

Letters are now being mailed by the secretary OF

Of the country requesting write to Secretary
Root and other officials OF the war department urging
the publication Of the parts CT report which said
to have been suppressed and suggesting that pressure
brought upon senators and representatives IN
congress to compel such action.
But the only purpose of the antiimperalists is to

Evidently they have the confidence of General Miles
else they could not have known that his report not

If that is the why DO not the antiimperialists
mako this information publc themselves without waiting
for the secretary Of war act? If this information is
something which the public should have why keep the
people in suspense? are the antimperialsts neg

they may take the having compelled the admin
