My dear colonel: l am glad to see
your bold position on public ques-

country to end the primary. Pro-
Sresiives better be awake as TO that
movement. You are going to see the
propaganda worked to finish now in
this State, of course, the primary is
an exceedingly dangerous institution
TO those interests who want to con-
troll the Government for their own
special purposes.
'Secretary Weeks. I notice. took
shot at the primary and deplored

Eject of Letters.
Just what will be the effect of the
publication of the Kenyon letters on
the outcome in Iowa it is impossible

Kenyon will himself make some fur
fher statement which will set his
position before the voters still more
clearly.
La Toilette supporters are claim
ing Iowa more confidently than they
did a week ago. On the other hand,
Republicans feel that they will win
the electoral vote. Reports are to
the effect that the Democrats will
vote in considerable numbers for the

 Martha retired from the stage after a few months, for other duties were ap- preaching which demanded her attention. She bought splendid home at Roseland, M. J., and seemed very happy, particu- larly after Frederick, Jr., was born.
 The act split. Ida married Jack Reigal and went to Pasadepa, Calf, to live. Thn public forgot "rhose American Girls"
 A few weeks ago the Newark nSws- papers carried paragraph announcing the granting of divorce by the Essex County courts, New Jersey, to Martha Phillips Barker from Frederick Nelson Barker, with $26 a week alimony and the custody of her two children, Frederick and Martha, who came four years ago. She charged extreme cruelty.
 And that is the end of Martha Phillips
 She is stiIl at the home in Roseland. It has a elO,000 mortgage. Her savings of $lOO, ,000 are gone. So is her youthfCs beauty. And her figure.

 Of course, Ida had her conquests-bu; {; this is the story of Golden Curls.
 Among her admirers in Paris was tie celebrated millionaire duellist, Edouard RouZies Dozeuris, He promised her, if she would marry him, beautiful castle in Touraine, the garden spot of France, and when she refused he became SO in- sanely jealous that he threatened to kill anyone who spoke to her. 4 Caucasian millionaire tried to pay her. court and DoZeuris forthwith challenged him to a duel. They fought, but, fortunately, honor was satisfied when the Caucasian was badly wounded but not killed.
 About this time Prince Ishmid Penal, a first cousin of the Shah of Persia, fell desperately in love with Martha Fear ing another duel she hurried their de- parture to St. Petersburg Git was still in the days of the Czar), where the girls created another furore. But Prince Ish- mid followed her there. One night he gave her two tin buckets full of jewels as he beseeched her to marry him.
 There were Russian suitors, too. Grand Duke Boris asked her to be his Grand Duchess on a memorable evening after they had given command performance before the Czar. But she told him that she was not yet ready to marry and\settle down.
 The success of the American girls had

appeal to the London boobies to pro-. tect them from their too enthusiastic admirers. Their mother had accom- panied them abroad, and the two beautiful American girls needed all of a mothers strategy to keep their well-wishers away from them.
 Their total contract abroad was for three months. But they re- mained longer than that at the Pavilion and realized that they would be gone for several years.
 Society had taken the girls to it's arms and they were lavishly enter tained. They gave a command per formance at Buckingham Palace, and after that became the petted darlings of royalty and nobility. Martha blonde and Ida brunette, they were equally popular.
 The dashing Earl of Kingston fell madly in love with Martha. Every night he was at the theatre and he asked her to be his Countess. But she laughed and tossed her golden curls. Perhaps there were better fish

 "Who's Frederick Bar kerr" Ida demanded, and roared with laughter when Martha reminded her that he was "that nice truck-driver. But there was a faraway look in Martha's eyes.
 From St. Petersburg they went to Rome and repeated their success.
 Enrico de Selvestri, or Milan, one Of the wealthiest hotelkeepers in Italy, was the next suitor who prayed for the hand of Martha. He gave her a $2O,000 motor-car and threat ened to enter a monas. tery when she told him she could not marry him. One day her mother and sister asked her why she refused all of these splendid offers.

loveliness. Her figure was divine. Her blond hair like @pun gold. Her teeth were pearls. Her skin alabaster. And she had that greatest of all gifts-per- sonality; so much of it that she com- pletely captivated everyone with whom she came in contact.
 That was along in 1910, at which time she was at the height of her career.
 She was one of dancing "team'' with her sister Ida as her partner. They toured and conquered the United States, and were so typical of the vim and enthusiasm of the country that once, when they went to Cubs the folks down there referred to them as "those American girls" So they took that name.

IL one has deficiencies in figure to

Light colors, or materials with a
