4 kept forgetting that this Was NV
iirst view Of State iii which women
have full suffrage. I could not discover
that they We're any less feminine here
than elsewhere.
II anything, they wore white, fluffy
clothes upon the streets more freely
than Eastern women do. They We're
given to big white hats, Of lawn or chit
fon, and 80 determined were they to
get the good Of their white shoes that
they wore them even with black dresses.
So far rs interest in pretty clothes
may be held to establish the point it is
evident that more than few legislative
enactments will be required TO knock
out the. eternal womanly For instance,
the proprietor of the leading millinery
shops told me this tale of the first time
the polls We're open to women: ii

suffrage question. But all HI sudden
Il noticed an increase i'll olWNsalcs; then
mail orders came in, thick and fast;
and finally we had crowds larbund our
bargain counters equal 10 the week s'be-
fore Easter, and even our imported hats,
on the second floor were going with a
rush.

sDf course we may have been mistaken
about the number Of pretty girls. for
we did not see all Of the inhabitants of
Denver, by any means. A great many
of its people and let us charitably as
sumo, all Of its prettiest girls-we in
the mountains.
The trains going thither were PACKED.
And you discovered again the fact
which your romantic Imagination con

and out OF cars without assistapce, ibick
up her own handkerchief, stand while
men sit. mount her horse Without aid
of hand on horseback, and generally
enjoy perfect freedom and entire lack OF
consideration. OF course, one likes The
freedom, the equality and all that, but
well, it's human to want TO Keep one :
cake and eat it, too.
Nor is this condition the result Of
suffrage as some writers sageiy observe.
III is exactly the same in Oklahoma,
where there is no suffrage. II is merely
Western, and arises, ! think. because
these men are too busy TO be looking
after women. and because they have
good reason to suppose that western
women can look after themselves. And
they can with 4 sigh because they
must.
Every stopping place proved the
mountains fairly alive with campers ami
tourists They -warmed around the train
to meet friends and carried them of in
mud splashed stages to rough board
shanties OF tents set beside some swift
stream.
The men wore high boots with spiked
soles, corduroy or Khaki trousers, fan
mel shirts and broad brimmed hats. The
girls wore short or divided skirts,
CATERS. sweaters and also broad brim-
med Fedoras.
Al looked rough. happy, brown, pic
turesqne. Here and there an elderly
matron demure and trim in summer
silk gown with bit OF white ruching
about the throat hopped gingcrly among
the boulders in the track Of her riotous
brood. looking like canary bird who
had unexpectedly Matched sage chickens.
