Charlie Voglewede The Shoe Seller

The trim elegance of her shoes determines as much as any other detail of a woman’s apparel,her right to claim the distinction of being correctly and perfectly costumed. Grace of outline and general shapeliness of design must combine with feminine daintiness to make the faultless shoe for the properly gowned women. Light but firm construction is one of the chief requisites in anv shoe for women —the best FALL models except those intended for street wear in stormy weather, being extremely light. To be modish this season a woman's shoe must have the short vamp, the narrow toe the moderately high arch and heel and a sole that is light, flexible and closely trimmed. Come in „ud look over the fall styles at the

WANTS TO MARRY GADDIS. Former Vera Cruz Girl in Bad With Desperate Man. The latest chapter in the life of Ruth Emenheiser, a former Vera Cruz girl, of whom unsavory articles are becoming numerous and disgusting is told by the Muncie Star as follows: "True to the man that had befriended her in a time of need, pretty Ruth Emenheiser, 16, the girl who for more than a year lived as the wife of Tobe Gaddis, is ready and willing to marry him, although at the present time he lies in the Bloomington, Ind., jail where he was taken soon after killing a whitecap leader near Shagtown, Monroe county. Since Gaddis has been in the Bloomington jail, Miss Emenheiser has been with her mother, who resides at 717 west Tenth street. He is many years her senior but there is a love that exists that malkes no barrier of the difference in ages. She has longed for him since their last irarting at the Bloomington jail and several love letters have passed between them. Probably the fact that the girl fears she will get into trouble with the authoriies for living with Gaddis as his wife has made her anxious to marry him, but she declares that only the best motives have prompted her action. Gaiddis and the girl are attempting to have a marriage license issued to them at Bloomington, Ind., Miss Emenheiser procured a marriage license affidavit from County Clerk Patterson. Mr. Patterson assisted in filling the bank and forwarded it to the Monroe county clerk, where Gaddis will file his application. As the girl is but 16 years old, she will be compelled to have the sanction of her mother, Mrs. Susan Emenheiser The latter is opposed to Gaddis, whom she says, at one time threatened to shoot her because she refused a drink of whisky. However, she has evinced much feeling toward her daughter and it may be that she will consent to give her consent to the match. » — CARTER’S LATEST DRAMACOMING “Too Proud to Beg” at Opera House Next Wednesday. Lincoln J. Carter’s latest dramatic treat “Too Porud to Beg,” will be on for one night at the Bosse Opera House, Wednesday, Nov. 13. This is the most effective and interesting of the new plays that have been sent on the road this season. The story is stipngly and boldly brought out and the well connected and consistent plot unravels itself in a style interesting and exciting to the extreme. There are no scenic effects, no hair-raising steamboat explosions and things of that ».ind to help the play along—rather than that, the attraction bases its merit entirely on the play itself and needs no auxiliary to help keep up the inte;iest. The cast is a good one and several actors of prominence have good roles to portray, among whom may be mentioned especially are, Mr. Will T. Rogers, in the role of the inspector of police, in which guise he plays strongly and dramatically* Mr. Leßoy Lewis, as the leading man, is a close second for honors; the part of Bridget the funny Irish woman who is in love with the twm Germans and gets into all sorts of humorous entanglements and episodes, is played by Mrs. Rogers; and the clever Folios children, around whom the plot is laid, play their characters like their living prototypes —lovingly, sweetly and with childlike innocence and which never fails to make the desired impression on the audience. Their specialty is clever and neat. A carload of special scenery is carried.
