The Evening Chit Chat
By RUTH CAMERON

who is that distinguished looking woman over there? " I heard
= a stranger say
why, that's Mrs. R." was the answer.
Now Mrs. R Is one Of my closest netghbors, and I turned with inter-
est to look at her through the eyes Of a stranger who saw her as dittn-
guished looking
And although I had lived too closely to her to quite realize that be-
fore. l admitted it now. Yes. she as rather distinguished looking. IN
the group of women who chatted W. their afternoon tea cups n
would have undoubtedly noticed her among the first
But why?
I studied her for some moments before I answered my own question
and then made this decision: Chiefly because ain that gathering OF mar
eel waves and pufs and rats and coronet bratds, Mrs RS soft hair was
parted and done very simply. She has an exceuenuy shaped head and
this simplicity showed of its fine contour admirably.
If you looked at the group of Ave Of which she ws one, I'm IRE
you would have seen her hnt Just because she had distinguished herself
in this way
She made m q think somehow Of n of those beautiful old houses
set far back from the street in stately simplicity, that occasionally delight
the " that is awearied Of the Haunting showtness Of its much more X
penGve neighbors.
Now, the greatest desire of womankind is to be nohced-there's n
blinking it, n o CLOSING It. Acknowledged " unaeknowledged, conscious
or deeply subconscous, that is the purpose Of all the silks and laces and
knowledge of French and German, and purs and Jewels and artistic erud-
nion with which we bedeck our minds and bodies-to win other men and
notice.
And here is this woman winning attention in the simplest manner
possibility being natural when all the rest of the world elects to be
artificial.
Isn't she clever?
And isn't she worth initiating?
Quickly. of course, before the rank and file grows tired of artificial
iy and decides ito affect simplicity again, and simplicity consequently
ceases o be a distinction.
Indeed. fashion notes inform US that such a move Is likely to be
made soon, &c II you like my suggestion and decide you would like to
find some simple, gracious, becoming method of wearing YOU hair. and
thus easily winning the title of DISTINGUISHED looking, now is your time.

Naming the Day,

Naming the Day.
1t Is the brides privilege to name
the wedding day. When this has been
arranged a list Is made of the close
friends and valued acquaintances of
both families so that nobody will be
sighted by not getting an invitation.
1t Is a good idea to use the letters Of
the alphabet for getting down these
names, searching the memory as each
letter presents itself for the name that
begins with 1t. The Invitations should
be issued at least a month before the
wedding. The arrangement Of the
church and the choice of the music
that is to be played are entirely mat
tiers for the bride to decide. The
bridegroom confers with the clergy
man after the parents or guardians Of
the girl have seen him, going to his
house for last directions the day before
the ceremony.

Board Delays Action
on Shercliffe's Plea
to End Prison Term

DENVER, Dec. 22.-After an all-day
hearing on the application of Sherman
w. Norris, alias Frank Shercliffe, for
where he is serving a twenty -five-year
sentence for the murder of John Walsh
at Leadville, Colo, in 1898, the state board
Of pardons tonight adjourned without be-
ing able to reach decision. No decision
will be reached, it is now said, until
after the holidays.
Morris based his plea on the ground
that his conviction was the direct result
of q political fight in Omaha, and In the
hearing before the board of pardons the
history of the fight between Thomas Den
nison, Of Omaha and the Civic federation
of that city was threshed out.
Among those appearing before the par
dons board were: Dennison, whose testi-
mony against Morris resulted in Morris
conviction OF murder Elmer L. Thomas,
attorney for the Civic federation OF
Omaha, who said Morris was railroaded
to prison by Dennison, because Morris
helped to clean out the Dennison ring in
Omaha politics, and w. j. Cofinell, for.
mer Nebraska congressman and attorney
for Omaha business interests, who said
the fight for Morris release made by the
Civic federation was only fight to dis
credit Dennison so that the federation
could hold its power in Omaha.
Affidavits were read alleging thai
Dennison had been gambler all his
life and had been fence for thieves
Against these were presented affidavits
alleging that Morris criminal record
was one of the most notorious in the
United States.
In the course of the hearing the state
ment was made that the Indiana state
authorities are waiting to rearrest Nor
rls for an alleged jewel robbery II
Hammond. Ind, in 1897, but later al
affidavit from Morris and a letter from
the penitentiary warden were read t
show that Morris had never been in In
diana and alleging that the indiana
charge was trumped up by Dennison tC
keep Morris in prison.
