"The Shop Girl.

lhe Shop Girl"
A veritable fashion show is tn.
Vitagraph Blue Ribbon feature, "Ths
Shop Girl" by C. N. and A. M
Williamson, from their popular move
of the same name, which is announced
as the Grand's attraction for Friday
Nov. "a.
Edith Story, who plays the title
role, wears, as a model in one of the
fashionable modiste shops, extremely
exquisite creations, some of which
are original designs by Mrs. Jane
Lewis, head Of the Vitagraph costume
department, and others of which were
copied from those in the Fifth avenue
shops.
One gown which Miss Storey wears,
particularly worthy of mention, is a
black chiffon embroidered with huge
flowers in pastel shades of silk. The
skirt is made with long court train
which is detachable. When worn,
however, it forms short gathered
tunic over the hips on each side,
which is very effective. The waist is
formed entirely by a wide band of
pale pink and green tulle, caught
with bands of black jet bead orna-
ments which cross the shoulders
Long streamers of darker shade of
green and pink tulle fall from the
waist and are caught at the wrist of
the left hand by wider band of jet.
Another gown is of gold cloth made
with long, simple, graceful lines.
This gown has court train which
may either be worn OF detached.
The various scenes which portray
the show-rooms of the modiste es-
tablishment contain dazzling va
riety of beautiful feminine garments
which were loaned by one of the
largest costumers in New York city
for the occasion. The many models
who wear these latest contrivances
of Dame Fashion give the audience
opportunities of noting the
unique draperies, etc., as they prom
enadc up and down the wide velvet
stairs for the benefit of the
patrons in the shop.
Some gowns are made of taffeta,
others of soft silks, some of tulle.
In fact no predominating material is
nisJlng in this gorgeous array of
wearing apparel.
Besides the gowns themselves, the
atest slippers, scarfs, hair ornaments
and outer wraps are in great evi-
lence, and the production would be
l marked success aside from the
splendid plos, acting, settings and
direction which are found throughout

A Woman Elected to Congress.

Montana holds high the banner of
intelligent womanhood. She has pro-
duced the first woman for congress.
There may be women as clever in
other states, but other states have
not yet been clever enough to find
them out
Big boost for Montana. Clever
women, clever sons. You don't grow
strong g-lninded men from weak-mind-
ed women. Heredity doesn't work
that way. Something to think over,
isn't it?
Miss Rankin ran far ahead Of her
ticket and gives to Montana the dis
tinction of being the first Of the states
in the Union to send a woman to
congress. The home interests of
Montana will be represented. The
homes of other states are ha1f-or-
phaned in the national councils. Hats
off to Montana! Her just action will
advertise her to the world.

with far from satisfactory results,
and SO wish to take a hand equipped
with the same tools that men have
found necessary in bringing about re-
forms they sought. We do not ex-
pect to do at once all we desire, but
we are no longer content to shirk our
responsibilities as the mother sex.
The children in schools and factories
are ours, as well as the mems. So
are the sick and insane and the af-
f1lcted in hospitals and infirmaries. It
has been borne upon us that these

not satisfied with the way all these
things are looked after. and we are

"Svomen are trying to enlarge the

conclusion that the ballot will help
them in the discharge Of these duties,
they are demanding this instrument
with all the insistence they can COM

Incomplete election returns from tine territory indicate that Sulzer has a lead of 37 votes over Wickersham, which the friends of the present dele gate say he will overcome and be elected by from 200 to 300 plurality. Wickersham carries three out of the four divisions, the Second, Third and Fourth, while the First shows plur- ality of 416 for Sulzer. The vote thus far received totals as follows:
 First Division - Lewis, 287; Sulzer, 1850 Wickersham, 1434.
 Second Division - Lewis, 1OO Sul ger, 459; Wickersham, 515.
 Third Division - Lewis. 308; Sulzer, 1926; Wickersham, 1889
 Fourth Division - Lewis, 283; Sul- ger, 1900; Wickersham, 1880
 The above shows that total of 10,411 votes have been cast for dele gate. and there are still Skagway, Pet ersburg, Tenakee and few outlying precincts to hear from in the First division. Practically all of the Second division has reported, excepting a few polling places far north of Nome. In the Third division Landlock, EllamaT, Port Wells, Granite. Cliff Mine, Roose- welt, Resurrection, Knik, Seldovia, Sunrise, Susitna, Unga, Afognak, VII low Creek, Cache Creek, Hope and a few unimportant precincts are to be heard from. The Fourth division has to hear from Panama, Ruby, Caro- and a few smaller places.
 The Sulzer supporters look for a plurality in Skagway and Panama or Fort Gibbon while the Wickersham people believe that the balance of the vote he receives from the unreported precincts in the Third division will in- sure his election, to saw nothing of the majorities he will get in some of the polling places not heard from in the other divisions.
 Just before going to press the re- turns from Knik were received. giving Wickersham 32 plurality and reducing Sulzer's plurality in the territory to five votes.
