Monday elsewhere each week. The re-
verse is true of some others and large
iy these are of the entire leisure class,
who find two or three days Of hob
nobbing with the circle of stay-a
home intimates are just about the best
things they can look forward to, every
fortnight or so. y
The Buds Begin to Unfold.
1t Is not quite like counting the
chickens before they are Matched or
any other trite form of too much pre-
paredness for what may not happen to
name the debutantes of next winter
and to begin to glorify these young
sters until they become personages, but
they. are doing it elsewhere and find
great satisfaction in the pleasant task.
The western girls were presented just
as soon as they got back from eastern
schools and colleges, and are now en-
joying the delights and privileges of
belleship at the summer resorts. Bos-
ton conservatism shows its pride in its
debutantes by Inequalities at the sub
urban homes and a participation of the
events there all summer and fall, with
long list of hotel ball dates anu pri-
November and December. The Califor-
MIA buds are unfolding at the splendid
house parties in which every hostess
of note is offering Pacific coast hospi-
tally to visitors from the country over.
These experiences are perhaps not quite
as deeply interesting as presentations
at foreign courts, but they are great
deal gayer and considerably more COM
Portable for debutantes and everybody
else, and the Washingtonians especially
who are taking part in these events
are surely to be envied. The Newport
buds are seemingly not very numerous,
but Gas they represent the millionaire
colony they have fashion and society's
last word at their beck and call and
every pleasure to which they are &C
customed. Last winters debutantes in
this city had a month or six weeks Of
great prominence, as they and their
affairs were about the only things
seemingly in the public eye. There
were few occasions when they failed
to be an important attraction, and when
1t comes time to write resume of the
coming winter maybe there will be
Just the same thing to say.

AFTER CHEAP ROAD LABOR.
Polk County Supervisor Tolls Allie

Polk County Supervisor Tells Aliens
to Work Out Poll Tax.
Des Moines. Sept. 22.-SiHty foreign
laborers engaged in railroad construc-
ton work in southern Polk county each
will put in two days work on the Polk
county roads in lieu Of cash payment
OF poll tax, as the result of the work
of a foxy road supervisor.
The supervisor discovered the labor
ers inside of his district living in bunk
cars. He therefore notified them to
appear for work on the roads before
Oct. /. threatening the penalties of the
law If they fail.
\ The laborers object to giving Polk
county two days of their time. They
appealed to the county and state Of
ficials for an opinion whether the
road supervisor was within his rights
in calling on the gang for road work.
They declared they are not citizens OF
Polk county and therefore are not
subject to poll tax here.
The officials thought they should be
forced to pay it.
The contractor who employs the
men has consulted an attorney with
view to finding some way around the
law, he told the officials.
