STEPHENSON ASKS FOR 1M PAPERS Missing Documents Deemed of Great Importance to Senator's Defense.
(National News Association) MILWAUKEE. Wis., Oct. 13. Attorneys for United States Senator Isaac Stephenson, whose election is now being investigated by a special committee o fsenators, ordered several detectives Thursday to begin search immediately for a box of papers, filed as evidence in the previous Stephenson inquiries, and now missing from the vaults of the state capltol. The loss of the papers, which are believed to have been stolen, was not discovered until the United States senate committee demanded their production. Many of the documents are considered of great importance by Senator Stephenson and his attorneys. In fact it is vigorously declared by one of the lawyers, that it was this missing written evidence which caused the collapse of the provious Stephenson inquiries, and forced the immediate accusers of the senator to admit his election was not obtained through corrupt influence, even though he spent $107,000 to win his toga. The loss of the papers from the vault in the state capitol is surrounded with mystery. W. L. Essfan custodian of the vault, says the papers were kept in two boxes. He declared he was unable to explain how one of these boxes could be taken secretly from the capital building.

be said. Why, however, should the women of Wayne county be particularly singled out for this melancholy admonition? According to the health reports race suicide is not imminent hereabouts, and if dress reform was meant, this in indeed a poor place to start it. Not because dress needs to be reformed here. Far from it. According to the advertisements the denizens of this community are "good dressers." If you don't believe it go to church or a bridge party or watch the girls coming out of high school for eats. If you didn't know the latter were coming out of the school room, you would think they'd been attending what society columns denominate at times a "function." Dressed to kill is as nothing in comparison. Why not put 'em in pinafores, by the way. They'd look cute and then the contrast between those in silken raiment and those in mere clothes wouldn't be so glaring. But to return to the dark blue conversatism of this town. Is it, in passing, so much conservatism as provincialism and because we don't know any better? Who can say? There are many strange things in this world and among them the truly remarkable things people think about themselves which have no basis either in fact or what still other people really think about them. Richmond, in this phase, is very much like the famed ostrich which sticks its head In the sand and thinks everyone else can't see. This is, then, no place to "start something." So far as corsets are concerned, however, there is nothing more amusing than the occasional spasm of masculine hysterics attendant upon the recommendation for their abolition. Did you ever notice men flocking round the corsetless girl at the party? Have you not observed almost invariably that the girl or woman rigged out in the latest, extremities, her hair padded and ornamented, her draperies flapping or flopping or winding according to the latest edicts, her cheeks artistically flushed with the rouge of youth or that bought at the drug-store, her feet squeezed into highheeled atrocities have you- not observed the men standing five deep before this damsel or mariame while the

she reminded him of the dear ones at home and he therefore could discourse on the fourth dimension of space with her with more ease than with the beribboned ladies? Sure. Many a time and oft. Never believe a man when he says he likes to see women "dress sensibly." What they want is for women to "look pretty." And you can't dress sensibly and look pretty at one and the same time unless you're pretty anyway. The true test of beauty is when seen "in the home" at an early hour, or any hour, for that matter, if you are perfectly sure nobody will see you. If, in the anomalous garments in which you are unexpectedly surprised at that moment, you rise supreme and the surprisee can say "no matter what she's got on she looks pretty," then you know it don't make any difference whether you wear a corset or however, pass the test. A well fitting corset never hurt any woman. A corset nowadays is an artistic pro-

He has received his education in the schools and art academies here and has been recognized by medals and rewards at great national exhibitions. Jonas Lie, the writer, ts ranked with the greatest novelists of Scandinavia and many of his stories have been translated into English and some are to be found in the Morrison-Reeves library. Lie, the elder was accounted one of the most perfect producers of the short story, aside from de Maupassant who has ever lived and in is named vith Isben as an apostle of unrelenting realism. Isben and Lie were, indeed, the closest of friends, and at the former's funeral, Lie, attended by his namesake, the American artist, was the observed of all observers. Lie, the artist, is also a musician and when first arriving in New York was put into the Felix Alder school, and had some intention of developing his musical talents, but the painting art attracted him more strongly and his friends advised him to follow the path of least artistic resistance, which he did with admirable results.
Edgar Forkner, who was in town yesterday, and who is spending a couple of weeks sketching round Williams burg as the guest of Mr. Fred Pearse, is one of the most brilliant artists who have had their former residence in Richmond. While Mr. Forkner has long lived in Chicago, he has for the past year or so been in the Northwest where he successfully painted the vigorous landscape of that region. Forkner is a water-colorist. That is he has always preferred to paint in that medium, but his breadth of handling and his virility of manner lend themselves with great eclat to oil, although he uses this medium infrequently. Appearing in many of the leading exhibitions in this section, he has not been represented in Richmond for several years and an exhibit of his work here would prove most in-
