SKIRT GOT COLD FEET.
After Visiting a Few Days 1t Re-
turned Home.

A skirt came into the KleanaIl
shop last week for repair and clean
ing and after a certain process went
out on the line to dry. In the early
twilight 1t walked off and being a
very valuable skirt 1t caused a great
deal of distress for one Of the teach
ers in the city schools who had ex-
pected to wear 1t to the teachers
meeting at Topeka. 1t was also the
cause of no little anxiety to the
members Of the KleanalI company,
who, in lieu of the skirt, dug up the
cash. Now the skirt had a trail
and City Marshal Engle was hot on
it. The trail got so hot that the
skirt got cold feet on the PROPOSE
tion and when the KleanaIl people
came down to the shop this morning
the skirt had returned to its first
love. 1t is marked up present but
tardy. Engle says that with little
more time something would have
come back in it.

ands lefore this 18th day Of March 1912
The Wahpeton times., 1912-11-21

Change of administration at
Washington produces alterations
snot as proclaimed as are those OF
politics, but influential indeed.
These are the social changes, dear
to women, but not unconsidered
by men.
When Mrs. Roosevelt was the
first lady of the land, the smart
society of New York was much in
evidence at the White House, as
it had never been since the days
of Arthur. When Mrs. Taft be-
came first lady, New York took q
back seat, and Cincinnati, along
with some Of Ohio outside Cincin-
natl, sent her first families to ap-
pear in the social limelight.
But Mrs. Wilson, a Southern
woman, will bring in another re-
gime, such as has not been es-
tablished in Washington since
The Wahpeton times., 1912-11-21
Toggery

the days before the war. There
were Southern men in Mr.. Cleve-
lands cabinet, but Mrs. Cleveland
was not Southern woman. Where
as Mrs. Wilson, although the wife
of a man elected from New Jersey.
is typical Southern woman.
Soft, drawly voices, low laugh
ter, sweet grace, the manner of a
simple and courteous society, will
distinguish the White House the
next four years. The glitter of
money may glisten less shining
ly, and the polish of good breed
ing be shade more approved.
Perhaps a hint for amendment
may go forth from the White
House to reform our social de-
generation, to inspire to better
courtesy, a finer tone, to soften
that hard materialism which Of
late seems dominant in social
life, to refine the growing vulgar
ity of ostentation, amusement,
conversation.-Grand Forks Her.
