bodice was laid in stitched plaits. and
the little revers on either side of the
front plat were braided at the edges
with white and pink soutache. Small
buttons of pink linen embroidered i'll
white were also used.
A Topeka chap who was left high
and dry on the beach a few months
ago, and has been looking around"
ever since he came to. now seems to
have lit again and it looks, at this
stage of the game, like another bad
case of hammockitis.

The Mean Old Atchison Globe is jeal-
Gus, sore and peeved becausee two To-
peka women are attracting attention
learned that Atchison is on the map.
This is what the Globe says: The
rivalry between the candidates for
president and vice president is as mild
as the harvest moon compared with the
rivalry for supremacy in Chicago be-
tween two Topeka women: Mrs. David
Mulvane and Mrs. Chauncey Depew.
Mote: The Globe always calls 1t De-
pew. What is fame?) Though they
came from that little propped-up town
on the Kaw. they have taken complete
control of the committee meetings pre-
liminary to the gathering of the Re-
publican national convention, and the
fate of the country lies in the hands
of one of them. But which? Mrs. Null
vane came to Kansas from New York,
and this gives her, some distinction.
To come from New York, out here in
Kansas, is regarded as something Won
derful. No native Kansan ever had
the audacity to oppose anyone who
came from New York. On the other
hand Mrs. Chauncey Depew is a bride
and her gowns are newer. and she is
some years younger than her riva..
The Chicago papers are filled with
descriptions of the gowns worn by
these women wire-pullers, to the ex-
clusion of what goes into the plat
form. For instance, Mrs. Mulvane has
a cream net gown over pale blue chit
fon, cut low in the neck, which helps
her in manipulating the Republicans
When she wears it, they fall dead
around her, waiting to do her bidding.
She has only to command and they
obey. But Mrs. Dewey! Oh. that We
knew some of those names in the dry
goods advertisements so that we could
describe dress she wears, which
draws every committeeman away from
the side of Mrs. Mulvane. Topeka is
so absorbed in the struggle between
these women for possession of the reins
and the whip, that she is neglecting to
mop out her dOoryard. Wild-eyed, and
breathless, all interest centers in Chi
cago.
