Attractive Hosiery.
Apropos of a short article from the
Kansas City Star which appeared in
the Optic last Saturday, referring to
the proposition to mark the old Santa
Fe trail, an enterprising citizen sug-
gests to the Optic a project that has
attractive features.
The gentleman touched upon the
proposition to establish a three-story
hotel of native brown stone III Las
Vegas, and said: "Why should not the
hotel be called the Santa Fe Trail,
and the company be incorporated as
The Santa Fe Trail Hotel Company ?
II would suggest a big dining-room
Of 22O feet linear measurement and
have portrayed On its walls the entire
Santa Fee trail from Westport on the
Missouri River to ancient Santa Fee,
with a sketch of the modern scenic
route in addition. On the walls of the
recepuon-rooms and dining-room could
be hung canvases representing the old
prairie schooners, stage coaches, cara
vans, United States cavalry squads, the
roaming buffalo and antelope and deer,

best fitting, his neckt1es the latest
shade, his collars the newest shape,
and his general get up sufficient to
charm a special committee of tailor's
dummies.
But his correctness was not con-
fined to his garments. 1t took phil
anthropic turn, it even became scien-
tifc, and it aspired at all times to be
social.

than respectable; Wilfred Joined the
local committee.
Social difficulties were not 80 easy to
surmount. Wilfred, Immediately on

had moved away from Snllmouth,
where his father kept the principal
grocery shop; but, to his distress, Still
mouth newspapers would occasionally
get to Rockford bearing Information
on the subject of "Roofe's Noted
Blend" or '"Roofe's Famous Lard"
Still, things were progressing. He
had actually been invited to the Cat
ers' dance, and that was a decided step
on; and, to crown all, he had danced
twice with Ethel Marsh, the prettiest
girl in Rockford and the daughter of
the only baronet the town could boast.
It was then that Wilfred's browning
ambition possessed him. Why not
take decisive step? Why not, with
4 single bound, place himself on the
top rung Of the ladder of Rockford So
ciety? Ethel Marsh was not yet en-
gagged! Why should he not -?
1t was the day after the dance, and
Wilfred had dressed himself for his
afternoon constitutional. He paused
for moment in his little parlor and a
caller was announced.
"A gentleman to see you, sir. He
would not give his name"
