leave her knitting outside That
hour of work she could easily make
up some other time if she chose.
The only trouble with her would be
the fact that she lacked an audi
euce 20 see that she was patriotic
and industrious. Neither of these
Qualities is an excuse for absence
Of common courtesy. A speaker is
entitled 10 polite attention: music
ians are entitled to undisturbeC au4
diences. Nobody has the right to
intrude into places where such as
sembIages seek the highest form Of
inspiration and relaxation with an
ostentatious showing-Off Of what
they fondly imagine is patriotism.
1 even saw a young girl occupy a
place at a dinner party and knit
through the dinner listening TO an
occasional observation from the
man at her side with an absent
smile. That girl should have been
spanked.
she had accepted an invitation 20
another persons table. and it was
her manifest duty TO contribute het
share toward the enjoyment Of the
90 people who were assembled there
for social pleasure. To bring her
knitting TO a dinner party. and per-
sist i'm it. was a mark Of gross ILL
breeding that speaks Ed for the
kind of woman she viii become
when she enters the world
Nothing but the fact OF her
youth-although She was Is or 10,
and old enough 10 know better
saved her from the condemnation
of others at the table. They were
/ kindly people and excused the fol-
lies of youth but they blamed the
parents of the girl for not bring
/ ing her up with any better man
| ners. 1t is not fair for girl TO
/ hold her parents up 20 the con-
demnation Of the public when per-
/ haps they may not be at all TO

HORTICULTURE EXHIBIT
Free Fair Feature Surpasses All 9th
ers, Says Supt. Van Orsdol.

The Kansas horticultural exhibit
this year surpasses those of all pre-
vious years, according to Thomas Van
Orsdol of Silver Lake, superintendent
of the exhibit. Flowers, while not a
regular part of the exhibit, have been
added to this display in past years.
This year the display of flowers is ex
ceptionally fine and adds much to the
beauty of the exhibit of apples
peaches, plums, pears, grapes and 9TH
er fruits.
Hardness of grapes in ripening has
been a great boon to the exhibit
There are dozens of big, luscious
punches of grapes on display, which,
all by themselves make ones mouth
water.
Troy, Kansas, is doing more than
her share in making the horticultural
exhibit a success. w. G. Curry, farm
agent at Troy, and George Kincaid
of Troy, are two of the biggest ex-
hibitors.
The historic town of Lecompton in
Douglas county also is well advertis-
ed in the horticultural exhibit. G. l..
McCarty of Lecompton, has set a new
record in presenting tasteful exhibits
of fruits. John Mitchell and ]. D.
Henry are other LecoThpton residents
with good exhibits. There is a total
of fifty entries in the horticultural ex-
hibit and twentyseven entries in the
floral exhibit
