A recent theft from Olympia of an inter-

similar removals of unwieldy articles. Dur

monument was removed at Cape Town

years ago in broad daylight, a clever and
bold gang of thieves carried off a valuable
fountain, fourteen feet high, from TX
bridge, without exciting the suspicious OF
anyone, and, quite recently, an omnibus
was calmly removed, horses and all, While

Notes and Gossip for and About Women Folks

Alma Browniee Of Chicago TO scale
Aiguille de Grepon in company with two
guides. That she lived to relate her eX-
perience is hardly less than miraculous.
Both her hands were frozen and she was
on the verge of collapse when she de-
scended to the village of Chamounix, at
the base of Mont Blanc.
Miss Brownlee succeeded in reaching an
altitude of about 1000 feet, and would,
no doubt, have been the hrst woman to
reach the pinnacle Of Aguille had not
further progress been barricaded by a
binding snow storm, At the Inn of
Chamounix, on the day following her
hazardous excursion, Miss Brownlee told
of her experience.
''Of course it was a mad thing to do
she said, but having climbed several ditii-
cult peaks among the Rockies, preparatory
to essaying the Matterhorn last year, it
was my ambition to be the first woman to
scale Alguille
I'VE were in the midst of a severe snow
storm several hours and then we aban-
doned hope of reaching the top. We struck
a ledge on the edge of a precipice, where
we had to camp for the night"

So many coming out" receptions have
been held in Washington and Baltimore
lately that mothers of the more exclusive
sets have about decided to abandon such
affairs and will allow their girls to BIOS
som forth without ceremony. The custom
on the continent is for a mother to take
her daughter to call on their friends to leave
cards Then the girl will be invited to all
suitable parties and is considered properly
launched. This method is gaining favor
everywhere. Instead of the coming out
reception, which almost always has an UNI
comfortable crowd-and TO which unbldden
strangers often come--the wise parent waits
until the girl knows her contemporaries
and then an enjoyable festivity can be
given. In London debut parties are rare in

One of the most interesting women visl-

Throughout the war Lady Hart remained

instructing the Chinese into some idea OF
modern sanitation. She is not a prosel ytiZer

spreading of Christianity, she gives most Of
her time to nstructing women and young

shoes and Graceful walking.

"All Of the cities on the continent"
said a prominent wholesale shoe merchant
who has just returned from his first trip
abroad. quoted by the Shoe Retailer. ARE
full of graceful walkers Of the feminine
sex. This is more noticeable to the Amer
lean. probably for the reason that here
in our larger cities especially, we see so
little of that kind.
THE reason American women don't walk
WELL as a rule, Is that their shoes are
uncomfortable and the heels are too high
A French woman can walk all day with
out a protest. And regardless of the fact
that she wears those much abused French
heels. But that is Just where the mis-
take is made. The American manufac-
turer has, in his endeavor to provide
something quite dashing, tackled onto the
heel seat OF some of the shoes a heel
monstrosty which throws the average
French custom shoemaker into rage at
the sight Of It.
What the French woman really wears
for street wear is the old-fashioned III
or IA Louis heel with the broad top
lift, which gives as much surface on
which to walk as the ordinary military
heel of the present day. Then she wears
her shoes to At her feet according to the
shape the good Lord made them. II her
foot is OF the long, narrow and pointed
kind, that is the kind OF shoes she buys
or has made; if short, wide and square
1t is the short vamp and broad toe that
is selected. And above all other things
they are never tight.
Said a well known gymnasium teacher
to me: Tt is impossible for a woman to
be awkward in her walk IL she will wear
shoe with a heel not exceeding III
inches In height and when she puts
her foot down have the toes turned out
ward. The former restriction permits her
to follow the rule of putting the ball of
the foot down first, and the latter is the
natural position of the foot IL it is put
down naturally with the ball first

abroad that 1t is the usual, rather than
the unusual, thing for the woman of aver.
age means to possess eight or nine pairs
of shoes and change often. These were
street shoes to which he referred. An
other good and sensible thing those for.
eigners do is to frequently have new kid
Innings put in their Shoes This, they
claim, makes the shoe feel fresher and
prevents blisters.
There is much to be learned from tn,
foreigners In the selection and care OF
shoes, but the thing that strikes me a,
being the fundamental principle, or diff
ference, between the American woman
ana her sister abroad lies in the fac
that the former selects her shoes will

latter looks for comfort and utility frs

Rain coats have become quite as much a
necessity in the feminine wardrobe as the
street suit and the new models are de-
cidedly smart and becoming. The coat
shown has yoke and front, facing in one
after the latest mode and closes in double
breasted manner. The back has two box
pleats extending from the shoulder, which
add becoming lines to the back and render
the entire garment more fetching. The
sleeve is built with an easy fullness to ac-
commodate any sort of a covering and a
pretty cuff of fanciful shape finishes it.
Cravenette, popin, taffetas and tweed are
all popular materials ana may be devel-
oped without difficulty after this pattern.

Oklahoma women who can rope cattle,
ride and shoot are not uncommon. But
woman, to which the appellation OF girl
would be more appropriate than woman
but few years ago, controlling a large
cattle ranch and assuming the response
bilty of the absolute management of
ranch, looking after and experimenting it
to the smallest detail is quite different
Miss Georgia Burns, formerly a Kansas
City girl, fills this last place to the strict
est sense of its meaning. That. and more,
too. for she is the manager of the Arrow
Heart cattle ranch consisting of some
11,o0o acres in Beaver county, Oklahoma,
thirty-five miles from the nearest railroad
and has under her control about 10000
acres of proven oil and mineral land in
the Choctaw and Chickasaw nations, Indian
Territory.
Miss Burns lives alone excepting for her
ranch help and household help. She de-
clares that she never gets lonesome with
the many visitors that are entertained at
her ranch and with enough work to occupy
most of her time, as she expresses it, she
doesn't have time to get lonesome. Miss
Burns spends much of her time in the
saddle She mounts a broncho and works
as one of her cowboys works, never taking
advantage of being a woman to pass up
any kind of a difficult or dangerous task
that falls to her lot.
Miss Burns can ride shoot and rope cat
tie with the same dexterity and skill of
which any of her cowboys can boast.
Not only is she skilled in these accom-
plishments but she can drive as well. She
attends every horse show and each of the
annual American Royal live stock shows
in Kansas City. Last year she won first
prize in a saddle horse class for women
riders at the horse show and at previous
local horse shows has carried off honors
for both riding and driving.

Fifteen Cent Cotton.
The Cotton Growers of the so

The Cotton Growers of the south,
through and with the assistance of
their organization, The Southern
Cotton association, are slowly but
surely winning the greatest COM
mercial battle ever known to the
world. They are being applauded
by millions of people who are
watching the great fight that is be-
ing successfully waged by them to
throw off the yoke of thieving and
speculative manipulation that has
held them so long, and has been the
means of enabling the spinners to
grow enormously wealthy at the ex-
pense of the poor farmer.
Those who stood loyal to the as
sociation and accepted its advice, as
given last January, to fix a price OF
10 cents per pound On their cot
ton-demand it and get it-dld sos
Notwithstanding there were thous-
ands who decried their efforts by
saying: Impossible, foolish, etc. ."
The amount of cotton held by the
loval ones was sufficient to bring
the price to 10 cents before the
present was ready for market.
On September 9TH, the assocla-
ton advised the farmers to ask II
cents for their cotton as conditions
fully warranted that price. Many
fixed that price and sold for it.
T.. Now, on December 1st, the fact
that the crop is very short: has been
established beyond the shadow OF
doubt, and only small remnant of
that left unsold, also, that the mar
kets are bare of dry goods with fu-
ture prices enormously advanced,
cotton mills loaded down with con-
tracts and orders for goods several
months ahead, and only with about
one-half enough of cotton in sight
to fill them. Will they pay IS cents
for cotton? Why, of course, they
