seems that such men as you and the rest
of congress should be able to fathom
not lay back in your seats and watch an
honest man giving his honest views for
no other purpose than for you to Illli-

A Bride In Kniekcrbocllerl.
I have never heard even the most
rabid advocate of rational (?) dress sug-
gest that they would grace the form of a
bride on her wedding day. says an Eng-
lish writer. A s less. knickerbocker-
ed maiden. with a wreath and veil,
savers of the region of farcical comedy,
and I doubt whether a reverend gentle,
man would not consider himself justi-
fied in refusing to perform the ceremony
until the bride presented herself in less
manly array. However, the N ew Zealand
clergy are less wedded to sartorial con-
ventions. for one of them, said to be “a
sympathizer in the great reform of won»
en’s dress, ” recently united a pair at
Christchurch -—- not, however. in a
church, but a private house—when the
bride wore stone blue bengalino coat and
knickers, long embroidered vest. a
wreath of flowers and bridal veil.
Among the guests Wore many ladies in
tho manly attirc affected by fair bicycle
riders, and the bridesmaids had also dis-
carded skirts.
\Voinen's First Tote In Ohio.
By a recent act of the Ohio legisla-
ture the Paxton special ‘sclmol district
has been created in Miami township,
Clermout county. Consequently an im-
mediate election of a lxi‘tu'd of trustees
for the new district became necessary,
and at this election. which was held
May 1 1, women voted for the first time
in Ohio. It was recognized as a histor-
io event. The schoolhouse was made
beautiful with llowors, plants and pa-
triotic decorations. and a hxmdwmesilk
flag floated from the stall on the bolfry.
A ticket was nominated entirely of wo-
men—Mrs. Harriet Paxton, Mrs. Ellcn
Hutchinson and Mrs. Mary A. Reeves
-—and was unanimously elected. It was
arranged that Mrs. Revives. tho wife of
(‘ity Passenger Ago“! of the Big Four
J. E. lit-eves of Cincinnati. should cast
