A Richmond, Va, dispatch says;
Miss Martha Buckner Wall, the de-
butant daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. Ger
ret Buckner Wall, OF 1920 Monument
avenue, is to be presented to Rich
mond society at large ball given by
her parents. Mr.. and Mrs. Wall will
entertain at the Jefferson hotel the

in honor of Miss Walls debut. She
is one of the most popular girls in the
young set and has already been
much entertained at the Greenbrier,
White Sulphur Springs, where Mr.. and
Mrs. Wall have a cottage. Miss Wall
bears a strong resemblance to her
mother, who was Miss Louise Mont
mollin, of Lexington, KY, was a noted
belle and beauty of the Bluegrass sec
ton before her marriage to Mr.. Wall,
who is native of Maysville, KY. and
is a prominent official of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio railway, being as
sistant to President Stevens. Nf. Wall
is a son of Judge Garrett s. Wall,
of Maysville, who was one of Nor

union held here in June, 115, Mrs.
Wall served as official chaperon for
the sponsors and maids of honor from
the various Southern States"

SINGING LETTER
Criticising Wilson Is Sent to Lexington
Herald by Mrs. ROst Pickett Me-
DOwell, Former Maysville
Lady.

The following letter from Mrs. Ross
Pickett Mcdowell, daughter of the
late DR.. Thomas E. Pickett, appeared
in the editorial page of yesterday
mornings Lexington Herald:
Editor of The Herald
My Dear Sir-I hope a few lines
from an eX Kentuckian, who is still
heart and soul a Kentuckian, will moi
be considered presumptuous, or in the
popular language of the day, Quitting
| in"
1t has always been a pet belief OF
mine, that the women of Kentucky
would eventually lifet the dear old
State out of the slough of machine and
partisan politics. Her ofiiceholders
both State and Federal, with very few
exceptions, have shown themselves to
be divided into three classes-hay-
seeds, fat-heads and villains.
They have blocked every effort on
the part of earnest, intelligent. and
high minded women to uplift the State
Judge of my surprise to read in your
highly valued publication, that 100
prominent women of Fayette county
had united themselves into a league
to aid and abet these political trick
sters and mediocrities, to re-elect a
man to guide our national affairs
whose only consistent policy is society
first"
Never was there an administration
so lacking in patriotism, brains and or
binary common sense. Our prosperity
is not caused by wise legislation, but
is the result of our enormous exports
to the nations at war. The number Cf
lives lost in our pitiful attempt TO keen
the peace CD with Mexico is greater
than the total casualties of the war
with Spain, and has cost hundreds o:
millions of dollars.
The Germans hate us. The French
reproach us sorrowfully and the Brit
ish sneer at us. We, who live or travel
in other lands and can see our beloved
country from a distance realize only
too well the prestige she has lost dur
ing the present administration. If the
Daughters of the American Revolution
and other patriotic societies really
honor and glorify the spirit of '76,
(the pioneer elixir which made us d
nation), they could never advocate the
reelection of Woodrow Wilson.
May the shades of the old fighters
of Kings Mountain, Point Pleasant,
Blue Licks, Bryan Station, River Raj
son and River Thames rise up on All
Halloween Eve and remind their
daughters that this country was not
built by men who practiced "watchful
waiting" or who believed in turning
the other cheek or peace at any price
even if some of them were good Pres
byterians."
Very sincerely,
ROSA PICKETT MCDOWELL.
