, as follows:
After reciting the attractions Of
the home state with its biggest ap-
pies" best wheat" finest hunting"
and lust as nice gowns and hats as
New York women have" the young
Washingtonians emphatically declar-
ed they had not seen place since
leaving home that could lure them
away from their own.
How people can exist like the
Indian cliff dwelers in your awful
tenemeHts Ican't figure OUT" declar-
ed Miss Grace Crooks, who person
ally manages one of her fathers large
ranches in Benton county.
Westerners More Loyal.
But l guess people are more 10y
al to their homes in the west than
they are in the east" said Miss Irene
Dunford' who since her fathers
death manages the ranch and can
throw losso further than any man
| in the community.
"And | want to tell you," explain
ed Miss Dunford at the Martha Wash
ington hotel, that none of US are
signing for career. The women of
the east seem terribly nervous and
ambitious, but l don't believe they
accomplish any more than we do, and
| ann sure they do not begin to get
nearly the enjoyment and real pleas
ure out of life that we do"
Eyes, and the scenery of the east
can't compare at all witE our coun-
try" said Miss Lillian Clark, who
manages an insurance business in
Walla Walla. 1.-THE eastern scenery
is feminine and dainty and cultivated,
but ours is masculine and rugged
and natural-much more attractive
and grander"
Coming down Fifth avenue yes
terday a truck driver ran his wagon
too close to the sightseers' automo-

| Little Miss Echo Kinkaid, the
"baby" of the party-she is only six
teen-sat just behind the chauffeur.
Goodness me-" she cried. "let me
get out of here" starting to climb
off the automobile.
Its all right" assured Mr.. Bates,
"there will be no trouble"
"Well when anything like this hap
pens in the west some one Is sure to
get hurt, and l havn't got my gun
with me-" she said.
| From her petite appearance no one
would guess Miss Anna Levels oc-
cupation, but she has often assisted
her father, who is county sheriff, in
capturing bad men,"
Most of the girls wore tell-tale SOL
itaire diamond rings, and they had
all blushingly confessed that they had
no ambition beyond that of domes-
tic life.
She Wants Some Trees
at seems TO me-" said Miss Srooks,
'if l were as rich as the people who
own the Fifth avenue mansions are
said to be, would have nice lawn
around my home, or if I could not
afford that would have house half
as large and take the rest out in trees
and grass. 1t must be awful to man
age one OF those big houses with an
army of servants. would rather
manage the biggest ranch in the
country. Seems to me that would
be play compared to the other"
All of the girls complained OF being
"tired to DEATH" and Miss Lillian
Austin capitulated to the strain of
sightseeing, and had to leave the par

Mrs. Bramwell the chaperone, said
she was disappointed in what she had
heard of New York women and what
she had heard of their beautiful
gowns.
"In any of the large cities Of the
Northwest - Seattle, Spokane and
Walla Walla-the women are just as
we'll groomed as you find on the New
York streets and what l have seen
around the hotels" said she. And
besides, "she added, our women have
better complexions-real ones, you
know"
