coinq Away Bridal Shower

Just now the going away shower Is
perhaps the favorite of all bridal en-
tertainments. The linen shower has
long been a popular function, although
DE it said there are many brides who
prefer to select their own linen so the
pieces match.
For the going away shower appro-
pirate gifts are utility cases, contain1

INDIAN GIRLS $1,000 SHAWL

A shawl that is worth $1,000 is owned
by Miss Annie Bigheart, an Indian
maiden of Oklahoma. The shawl is SO
valuable because of the elks teeth
which adorn it. There are hundreds
of these teeth, and the majority of
them are beautiful and rare.
Elks' teeth are becoming scarcer and
scarcer each year, and their value is
steadily increasing. This shawl has
been handed down from generation to
generation in the tribe to which Miss
Bigheart belongs. She inherited 1t from
her mother.-Houston Daily Post.

rounding up a SIS cow or a So pig than
they do of corralling their sons and

THE HILL o. DREAMS

Nor thought to see on the bays blue watner

Bearin away a kings young daughter
Over the bEim of the heavin' world.
The hills seem weary now to my feet.
The miles be's many, and dreams be's

A MoNG the several "girlie" fads
N which have developed this winter
IA the most original and to my mind
the daintiest and most fetching is the
floral ball-the hanging ball of flowers
suspended BIZ ribbons from the arm,
that made its debut with Miss Ethel
Roosevelt at the White House and was
Immediately adopted by the younger
set.
All the debutantes at the White House
function carried balls of Enchantress
carnations and feathery ferns hanging
by yard lengths of moss green ribbons,
and at once the girlish simplicity of the
new mode won popular favor.
Speaking of Miss Ethel reminds me
naturally of her stunning and popular
sister, Mrs. Longworth, and recalls
story connected with the last national
Republican convention in Chicago,
which I am certain Is now published
for the first time.
A certain young journalist, the star
writer in his office, was sent to Chicago
to cover the convention for his paper.
He is a very brilliant writer and natur-
ally was among the newspaper men
who were quickly in touch with the
forces of the convention, and soon met
the prominent party leaders, and In
some instances the wives and daugh-
tiers of these men. One of the women
to whom he had the honor of being
presented was Mrs. Alice Roosevelt
Jongworth, and Immediately his dis
patches to his home paper and his let
fers both to his wife and to his CO.

admiring mention, and that rather ex-
travagantly expressed Of Princess Alice

opportunity and wired the following to

PHoENIX, ARIZONA, MAY F, 1909.
MIR. LEWIS DEBT TO ARIZONA.

There appears elsewhere this morn ing an interesting article by Dane Coolidge on Arizona in Literature '' in which he very accurately and learnedly criticises the writers of stories of Arizona and the west.
 He is perhaps in error in his judg- ment against Alfred Henry Lewis. who puts into the mouth Of the Old Cattleman a speech in which ersdi- tion and illiteracy are incongruously and unnaturally mingled. That there is an incongruity is admitted, but it is quite. probable that MT. Lewis is not to be blamed for it.
 The writer has in mind a character known to the old timers as Whist ling Billy" whose language was so like that of the old Cattleman that the writer has often wondered wheth- CT or not MT. Lewis in collecting the material for "Wolfville" had not re- ceived his dialect from that erratic individual whose life had been spent in California, Nevada and Arizona. About the time he passed up and down the territory for the last time, about twelve or fifteen years ago, MT. Lewis must have been engaged in the collection of local color for "Wolfville." At any rate the speech of the Old Cattleman is hardly an exaggeration of that of "Whistiing Billy"
 One of the evidences of illiteracy cited by Mir. Coolidge is the old Cat tleman's frequent, if not general use of the present tense for the pas:. This is not uncommon in the west by those who know much better. For who ever heard any westerner of sporting proclivities say T won" or T lost? It was always T win" or T lose" referring to the result of a play that had taken place in the past.
 It is probably a fact, and if so. very curious one, that the Wolfville stories have had an influence upon the language of MT. Lewis. At any rate, his style, which is different from that of any other writer, is very different from his style previous to the production of those stories. Those who have read "Wolfville" closely will be reminded of those stories whenever they read any of Mir. Lewis entertaining political gossip from the national capital. Whatever MT. Lewis has done in a literary way for Ari- zona, we believe Arizona has amply repaid by making the language of this brilliant writer crisper and more entertaining than it was before his contact with the Old Cattleman.

If the case of Harry Thaw had never happened Captain Peter Hains would probably have been acquitted yesterday. The unwritten law had generally been successfully invoked, but its invocation had never been so bald as in the Thaw case. The American people have resented the accusation of dementia in which MT. Delmas involved all of them along with Thaw. For sometime at least it will be unsafe for a man to wipe out stains in such cases with a gun, especially when the act has an ap- pearance of generalization. It is to be hoped that in cases of homicides, the plea of insanity will be less eff fective than heretofore.
