That reminds me of President
Roosevelt's being here and how pleas
ed we all were to know he had alight-
ed from his carriage to go and shake
hands with young Mr.. Sanders. We
supposed it was the mere fact of his
having been soldier at San Juan
and the Philippines. but 1t seems they
had met many times at San Juan.
Mr.. Sanders had carried messages and
dispatches for and to Mr.. Roosevelt
in the trenches" But it was very
nice and thoughtful of him to stop
nevertheless.

Ail the women say they are glad
their husbands haven't those particu-
lar lines of decision to the lower part
of their face that the president has.
They fear that if he should assert
anything that would settle the ques-
ton and it would leave them no room
for argument, and half the zest of life
would be gone-il we couldn't argue
about everything.

But speaking of hats reminds me
that they used to say before the
president came there were only six
silk hats in town. but l inquired at
the hat stores and a total of seven
were sold for Tuesday. One of them
however. was afterwards returned. so
there must be dozen at least now in
Spokane.
This display of headgear was the
most interesting feature of the cele-
bration to me. Some of them came
all the way from Ireland and some
others proved that at least a few of
our leading families have heirlooms.
Why can't our men dress properly
when honored by the presence of the
nations chief executive? Sack coats
and white straw hats and old SLOUGH
| fedoras are comfortable, no doubt,
but a little respect is due on such oc-
casions. ARABELLA FAIR.

Senator and Mrs. George Turner
have issued invitations for dinner
to be given at their residence next

l think the people are making too
much fuss anyway about what was
not done Tuesday. They had better
be thankful for small favors and con-
slider ourselves lucky to have been
in the line of the presidents march
at all across the continent. 1t looks
to me as though there was only one
deplorable thing happened that day
and that was the death of that' young
girl from Sprague. We had better be
thankful that nothing moro like that
happened. OF course r. Lewis Rutter
forgot to wear his silk hat; but then
so did some of the others and All the
men in town couldn't sit on the plat
form with the president and bsl intro
duced to him-but then time and
space were limited. So. all In all.
let's try and be satisfied.

able parties. The house was decor
ated with white 1ilacs. carnations
and other white fiowers-as the color
scheme was green and white. The
little tables looked very dainty in
their green and white trimmings and.
as the ladies' arrived they took their
places at them until all the tables
were occupied. That part of the pro-
gram is always a relief to the hos
tess to know they are fairly launched.
Imagine the CONSERVATION of both
fair hostesses as ladies continued to
arrive until eight more had assem-
bled 1t was a small charge of the

did it. Out whipped tables, chairs,
knives, forks, spoons, etc. In a jiffy
and all were taken care of, just as
though eight of the women assem-
bled there hadn't made any mistake
about the day they were invited. OF
course everything went off smoothly
and nobody knew of it at the time
but murder will out" you know.
The second day there were tables to
spare, l assure you, ready and wait

prizes were won by MISS Weeks ana
