A Topeka girl who has been added

much cleverness. and is also attractive
and socially popular. Miss Bauer is ex-

Ramsey, and her cousin, Mrs. George

The telegraph recently sent out
a story of the climbing OF Mt. Wash
ington by two women, a feat, the story
said, never before accomplished by a
woman.
However, as. usual Topeka gets in
on the story, for a Topeka woman,
Mrs Ralph Cav. once made the as
cent of Mt. Washington on foot, in
company with three other people,
walking over the perilous trestle, and
taking the journey after night. In
speaking of the experience, Mrs. Cav
said:
1T was 80 years ago, when 1 was
a student at a summer school in New
Hampshire, a party of four of us stu
dents decided to go to the top of the
| mountain, and as our allowance was
short at the time, we had to walk or
stay at home. There was a fine of
$25 for attempting the journey on
foot, because it was considered too
dangerous to be taken, and making it
an OffenSe punishable by a money for
fixture seemed the only way to pre-
vent it. In the story, the women were
taken down in a car, but we walked
both ways, and they were grown wo-
men, and we were school children.
Coming down, we had to look out for
the slides from the top. There was
an arrangement by which people could
come down on sort of box which slid
on the third rail. To be struck by
one of the slides was almost sure
death, and they descend quietly and
speedily. The boys walked some dis
lance back of us girls to warn US of
approaching slides and give us time
to step off to the side. After dark
to tell where the ties were, and the
danger of stepping between them
was greatly increased by the darkness
and rapidity of the descent. 1t was
rooms, and we slept all the rest of
that night and the following day,
from exhaustion"
The story of the ascent of the
school children to the top of Mt.
Washington was published many
years ago in n eastern paper, and the
feat rather outshines the one of recent
occurrence.

a new fad for footwear next sea-

One of the fashion scouts from
Paris, who has come to New York,
says that the we'll dressed women this
winter will wear skirts designed to
ho nrYrrk Oh fro T16
that no lingerie or petticoatS will be
worn, but that tights will be the cor
rect kind of under garment. The re-
port, however, conflicts with a recent
one to the effect that the skirts will
be fuller than formerly and that
trimming of ruffles on skirts is be-
coming good style.
At one of the fashionable beaches
recently one of the women batherS
started the fad of wearing a tiny bell
attached to a garter. The other
women took up the idea and bells
Immediately became popular. The
fad blew up, however, when one of
the men at the hotel came into the
dining room with pink garter
about each trouser leg, with a cow
bell dangling = and j, Changing & loudly, 4
