RENKER HAS INNING.
Kansas Ranchman Tells of Meeting
His Inamorata.

Kansas City, Kan, Jan. 1S.-The de-
Tense in the $4,000 breach of promise
suit on trial in the federal court
here, introduced witnesses yesterday
afternoon to assail the character of
Miss Jessie Carter. the plaintiff, and
to prove that her side of the case was
a fabrication. The defendant is J. NJ.
Renker, wealthy cattle man of Trego
county, Kan. "a
Edward P Boyle. inspector of detee-
tives, and John Hayes. ex-chief of po-
lice of Kansas City. Mo-, said Miss
Carter had consulted them about Chic
Dunlap, the husband of a woman who
lives in the North End. Dunlap rent
ed room from Miss Carter last sum-
mer when she lived in an apartment
house near Twentysecond street and
Troost avenue.
Miss Carter came to my office at
police headquarters and asked to have
Dunlap arrested Inspector Boyle said.
''She said Dunlap had rented a room
from her, and that she had employed
Dunlap and had found out who he was
1 sent for Dunlap and he and Miss
Carter had a quarrel. 1 ordered Dun
lap to let her alone"
Hayes said that Miss Garter told him
Dunlap had asked her to marry him
and that she wanted to know some
thing about his character. He said he
had made an investigation and then re-
ported to her.
Renker was a witness in his own de-
Tense. He said he was AZ years old
and had been married 20 years. For
several years he has been coming to
Kansas City once or twice month
with cattle.
How did you happen to meet Miss
Carter David Richie, Renker's at
torney, inquired
"A friend and 1 went to a house near
Eighteenth street and Troost avenue
in January. 1907, and 1 met her there. y
Renker replied.

Yes, my friend told her so when
was introduced to her.
All of the evidence on both sides was
introduced yesterday afternoon and the
arguments. will be completed today.

EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON

Are you well groomed?
In the street car yesterday I saw
young girl who caught and held my
attention by her attractive appear
ance.
And yet she did not have a partic-
ularly pretty face nor an unusually
good figure. Her attraction was SIM
ply the fact that she was perfectly
groomed.
If you have a distinctly plain face
you can scarcely. make it so pretty
that people will pause to admire it.
If you are built on basicaliy ugly
lines it is almost impossible to cor
rect them so that people will turn to
admire your splendid figure.
But no matter what outfit you start
with you can make people enjoy look
ing at you because you are so well
groomed if you put time enough on it.
OF course that eff is mighty i'm
portant one.
For Rome could be built in a day
quite as easily as any woman could
become we'll groomed in a short space
of time.
A slatternly woman cannot say, 81
will see that all my clothes are very
neat and spruce looking and I will put
upon become well groomed.
Some people fancy that neat, at
tractive clothes carefully put on are
all that is necessary to make a wo-
man we'll grOomed. but they are vast
! ly mistaken. These are merely the
! finishing touches instead of the whole
| thing.
| Quite as much as genius, good
| grooming is the result of IAN infinite
capacity for taking pains"
| An appearance such as that of the
! young girl who attracted my gaze
means minute attention to details and
| years of such attention.
| For instance, it means frequent
| baths and unremitting care of the
nails and facial massage when the
complexion needs it., and carefully
fitted underwear and something more
! than a cursory daily attention to the
! hair.
And then of course it means infinite
! care and patience in putting on ones
/ clothes.
