Par ticular got theirs" Then there
was musical comedy at the theater'
and there are some confirmed 'Join-
nles@ who never miss a stunt or that
sort, and the Harris-Folk political
meeting at the Auditorium attracted q
number. By the way, it is noticeable
that some of the girls Of the smart set
are aking a good deal OF interest In
politics this year. or at least are at
tending the more important meetings

cedent for the fad. In England the WO-
men of the smart set pride themselves
upon their interest in and knowledge
Of politics and no woman is considered
exactly patriotic nor indeed, quite so
ciaIly au fat, (whatever that may be)
unless she is well up on that sort OF
thing you know.
