He is busy now selecting six-footers who are to form this brigade, which, at the proper moment is to take charge of the convert- > tlon by force, if necessary. Roosevelt believes In fair play if he can win that way; if not, he believes in any other kind of play. If they get through the Chicago convention without more bloodshed than has flowed in the Mexican revolution they are going to I be lucky.

Notable among the bridal affairs given this month was the friendship shower given Friday evening by the Misses Margaret Clark and Bertha Kinney at the Dr. D. D. Clark home on Third street, for Miss Hilda Smith, whose wedding to Mr. Ray Z. Teeple occurred this morning. The affair was a Japanese party and gayly colored Japanese lanterns strung throughout the house, lighted the scene prettily.

The luncheon carried out the unique Jap effect. The girls were all ushered into the living room, where cushions, placed about on the floor proclaimed that the seating would be in the oriental style. On each cushion, in the nature of “place cards” lay small Japanese fans, on each of which was the name of the guest, and also a little original verse apropos of the bride-elect. The menu carried out the Japanese idea, tea being served from small pedestals about the room Puffed rice was also on the menu, not forgetting sandwiches, olives, pickles, and the delicious dessert. The hostesses were assisted by Miss Anna Clark in serving. At the conclusion of the luncheon, the little verses were read and created much amusement. The following composed by Dan Erwin, who is gaining much fame as a rhymist, is worthy of production: Around the world, from door to door W’orld o’er; I love the Name, I love the People, But think I’ll change my name to Teeple. —Hilda. If Teeple, I should find O. K., I’ll stay with him all right all day; If he will prove a loving man, I’ll do for him the best I can. . —Hilda. ** !
