An interesting collection of invitations
to and from Benjamin Franklin during his
visit to England has been placed IN the
University Of Pennsylvania library
Among the letters to Franklin are some
from the peerage for great and for little
dinners, but perhaps the most interesting
is one from a gentleman who described
himself as in lodgings and unable to
entertain Mr. Franklin at his home. He
therefore proposed a visit to the Star and

and this is just what a girl. when say
ing mo" should avoid: she must do
nothing calculated to make man think
badly Of her own Sex.
There is another thing a girl should
not do when her answer takes the
form of a negative-she must not try
to gloss her refusal over by making any
silly promises, such as, that she will al
ways remember his great kindness;
that she will endeaVor to remain a
great friend of his, and so on.
Girls too often act in this manner,
and it Is cruel; the whole affair should
be ended with the refusal.

GONE girls are terribly bothered by
~ men who will not take mo for
an answer. These men never seem to
understand when a girl is in earnest.
and the result is that they get them
selves disliked.
There is really no more trying thing
for a girl than being proposed to by a
man for whom she is well aware that
she can never care, and, somehow or
other, it is always just such man who
gets the most opportunities for pop
ping the question.
Perhaps, of course, q good deal de-
ponds on the way a girl says NO"
and, alas, many a girl finds it imp0S-
sible to say mo" in just the right
manner, the consequence being that the
man returns again and again to the
attack until the girl has TO be almost
rude.
One Way to Say "No."
Now, there is a right and a wrong
way of saying NO to man.
There must be no half heartedness
about the refusal, for that is equal to
giving a degree of encouragement.
A girl must be most decided; She
must not use a term suggesting, or
giving the slightest hint that his pro-
posaI might be favorably considered
later on.
In defense Of this method of refusal
it might be said that some girls don't
like to be harsh: they try to put man
off: they don't want to appear unkind;
yet in reality they are very unk1nd in
deed; it is far better to settle the mat
ter for good and all.
1t goes without saying that it is diff
cult for a girl to be behave in just the
right way when refusing a mans offer.
for he is paying her the very highest
compliment possible, but when a girl
in her heart knows that she cannot
give him her love, she must be candid,
even though 1t causes pain.
On the other hand. no girl should
refuse an offer in a disguised or semi
insulted style; that hight have the eff
feet of making a man try again, If only
for the purpose of annoying her. Yet
girls do this at times, and no doubt
regret it afterwards. even If the man
never makes a second attempt to cap
ture their hands and hearts.
Never Say "No" and Mean ayes"
Always let a girl beware of one
thing. namely, saying mo" when she
most criminal things possible, and,
doubtless, many old maids today have
this to thank for their condition of
single blessedneSs.
Very likely when a girl says NO. -
meaning Yes" she has the feeling
that she is acting in discreet, maid
emily manner, and that there is no risk
the man will certainly repeat his Of
fer.
On the other hand. he may never try
again; he may be thoroughly discour-
aged with his first venture, and what
is the result? The girl sees. when too
late, how foolish she has been, and bit
terly regrets her, shall We say, false
modesty?

is not easy; and, perhaps, when a man
proposes, a girl cannot do better than
put him off for a moment by saying
she will think the matter over, and

GOSSIP FROM GOTHAM.

There IS something pathetic about
former belle who is just entering her
th1rty-firSt year and who looks every
month of her age The young woman
evidently realizes she is approaching
the 'told maid" division. That her
maidenhood is caused by the lack Of
suitors is hardly credible. The girl was
great beauty and her family was all
that could be desired. Her complexion
like that Of her mother and her younger
sister won her fame but the twelve
year whirl in fashionable society tended
to wither the bloom on her cheeks. At
a recent wedding. where she was a
near relative of the bridegroom, her
advancing years were most apparent
Her face was coated with powder and
rouge and tiny wrinkles had gathered
about her eyes. No longer did she find
men dancing attendance. and this fact
might have made her sad. Who knows
but that a tear glittered in her blue
eyes as she saw the bridal procession
move toward the altar. Even for a girl
in her circumstances it is no fun to re-
main a SpinSter.
Rejoicing in her recently acquired
slender form, Mrs. Hermann Oelrichs is
at her best this spring and never has
she appeared more handsome. There is
something out Of the ordinary about
| the cold, dignified beauty of this daugh-
ter of Jim" Fair. Her sister, Mrs.
| William K. Vanderbilt Jr. is also look
| ing far better than she did when a
| younger woman. Mrs Oelrichs ap-
| peared recently in a gown of pale yell
| low lace that any woman might have
/ envied. The frock was made with a
| lace coat of the same faint shade and
! there were touches of black velvet that
| saved the gown from being inSipid.
Her hat was a yellow straw with sew
eral sweeping plumes. Mrs. Oelrichs
takes a huge amount of pride in her
tiny. feet and with good reason. She
wears short skirts on every possible oc-
| casiOn.
White silk stockings will be in great
favor with summer gowns, and white
kid shoes are preferable to those made
! of satin. White is not to the liking of
| most women, and only shapely ankles
and the most graceful feet can endure
| the test. Some splendid white stock
| ings, covered with fine embroidery,
have been shown, but these treasures
are worth $40 a pair. Lace hosiery is
on the decline.
Under the wing of Mrs. William As
| tor Chanler, Miss Alice Jay Morgan, of
Philadelphia, is entering a theatrical
/ career, and next winter Miss Morgan
will be seen in a legitimate company.
| Miss Morgan has an excellent social
position in Philadelphia and is another
girl who could not resist the tempta-
ton of the footlights. She began in
| the chorus of the Country Girl" in
which Mrs. Chanler was starring" as
Minnie Ashley. Miss Morgan was the
| only theatrical friend at the ChanIer-
Ashley nuptials in St. Georges and
| Mrs. Chanler is chaperoning her in New
York. The former comic opera star
seems al home among the Knicker-
| booker friends of her husband. More
over, the demure little woman is a
great fayorite with this set She and
Miss Margaret L. Chanler, her sister

More Harmony Talk.

Mr.. Albaugh makes a talk for party
harmony in his home paper in which
he exhorts the faithful to support Mr..
Hoch and closes his appeal in the fol-
lowing language:
est is unfortunate that this ticket
was nominated in convention so
completely dominated by the rail-
roads, but Mr.. Hoch is not to blame
for this and should not be held re-
sponsible for it.
1T is particularly unfortunate that
he has upon the ticket with him a
thief, an embezzler and a forger, a
man who would now probably be in
the penitentiary except for the fact
that the statute of limitations had run
before his crimes were discovered, but
who did pay back to Miami county
over thirteen hundred dollars of ad-
mitted thefts.
''The high handed way in which the
railroads dominated the recent repub-
lican state convention was disgraceful
in the extreme and without precedent
in the history of Kansas conventions.

Judging from the newspaper reports
the organization of the republican
compaign committee in Topeka last
week was not without the usual fric-
tion. Elder Hoch- wanted his friend
Tom McNeal made chairman of the
committee and the Burton men knock
ed him out by vote of 10 to 4. Hoch
refused to accept the choice of the lat
ter crowd and for a time it looked as
though the fight would be taken into
the committee. A compromise was
finally reached in favor of Stubs and
now all of the candidates say they are
satisfied. The Hoch men say that to
have accepted the Burton candidate
would have made it appear as though
things were being run in the interests
of the senator and they could not
stand for that while Burton was
charged with a crime and was to stand
trial which might result in his being
fired from the senate. The Burton
men said they could not stand for
Tom McNeal, as he was a radical
prohibitionist, and with the candid late
for governor prohibitionist to take
man of the same stripe for chair
man of the committee would make it
hard to convince the voters in the wet
districts that it was not a prohibition
campaign, and McNeal was turned
down. Some of the members from the
larger towns where the prohibitory
law is only enforced far enough to
make it yield a revenue for campaign
purposes Insisted that the candid ate
for governor should declare prohibit
tion a local issue and so keep it out
of the state campaign as when Stanley
was candidate for governor. A salts
factory declaration was extracted
from Mr.. Hoch and they now believe
they can line up the whiskey vote
along with that of the prohibitionists
and make the calling and election Of
their candidate sure. The high moral
plane of this reform crowd makes an
ordinary citizen dizzy when he con-
templates the distance down to the
common people.

Why Harris Lost Out.

1t was given out from Washington
yesterday that Senator Harris would
not get place on the Panama canal
commission. The republican leaders
of note endorsed him, President Roose-
welt wanted him; he was admittedly the
best qualified man for the place that
was available. Now, you wonder
why he wasn't appointed. 1t was not
because he was a democrat. 1t was
necessary that members of other par
ties besides republicans should be
named. Personally he was on terms
of friendship with the president. He
had the endorsement of all parties in
Kansas, although Senator Long re-
fused to aid him. And this is how he
lost out: A long time ago Senator
Harris undertook to force the Union
Pacific railroad to pay to the govern
ment the money it owed. After long
battle the road was forced to pay.
The Union Pacific helped to make
Long senator. When Harris came up
for. a place the Union Pacific forced
Long to fight him. The road owned
Long, because it had made him. The
U Mon Pacific forced President Roose-
welt to turn down the best man for the
place that could be found in the coun-
try. This is no secret. It is an open
and notorious fact. Colonel Harris
was turned down by Senator Long of
Kansas, and by President Roosevelt
because he did that which Long and
Roosevelt both claimed credit for do
ing, forcing the Union Pacific to pay
its debts to the government. 1t isn't
necessary to mention the fact that
Long is yellow: he shows it in every
act. But what about the streak that
Roosevelt showed when he took his
orders from the Union Pacific rail
road? Does the Union Pacific have
mortgage on him, as it has on Long?
We hope not.-Lawrence Gazette, re-
publican.
