COLORS THAT ARE BECOMING.
A Reason Why Blondes Wear Blue and
BrunettesiYellow. .
Shop Notes Quarterly : The hair of
the blonde la a mixture of red , yellow
and brown. AH a rule the skin Is light
er , that Is , It contains not so much
orange , and the tinges of red aio light
er.
Nature , therefore , very properly
made the blonde's eyes blue , since the
bine Is complementary to the orange
ofNhor hair. The brunotto'a skin on
the other hand , has more orange In
It and hence a color favorable to ono
would not be becoming to the other.
What would be the effect of green
upon a complexion doilclent In rod ?
H would certainly heighten the rose
tints in the cheolia , but the greatest
euro should be exorcised In the ao-
lection of the proper shade of greou ,
because the brunette's complexion con
tains n great deal of orange , and tl.e
green , acting upon the red of the
orange , could leadlly produce a brick-
dust appearanci- .
Green , therefore , Is a risky color for
the brunette , nml MI Is violet which
would neutrnlUe t''o ' ' Bellow of l1
orange and heighten the red. If
the orange couiiiloxlon hurt more yel
low than red then tl o association of
violet would produce pa. lor. Yellow ,
of course , la her color , since iln com
plimentary violet neutralizes the yel
low of the orange complexion and
leaves the red.
MISS LIBBEY'S "GUESTS" COY.
Actress-Novelist Holds Reception on
Stage In New York.
New York , Aug. 27. Frederick
Townsend Martin Is credited by some
persons with originating the , move
ment to bring society and the stage
together , and has done so to a llmlt-
od extent by means of luncheons to
select parties In expensive restaurants ,
but over In Brooklyn they give Corse
Payson the credit for originating re
ceptions on the stage In order that
audiences and actors may get to know
each other , and over there It works
well.
well.The
The plan was tried yesterday
at the American Music hall roof , but
whether U was a success depends upon
viewpoint. It had been arranged that
Miss Laura Jean Llbbey , who used to
write novels for the lovelorn and who
may do so still , but who Is now ap
pearing in a little "love monologue. "
in which she gives original recitations
and advice , according to the program
on "all topics of love , " should hold a
reception.
When Josh Daly of the management
itQ
got out before the footlights during the
Intermission and made a neat little
speech , inviting anybody who wished
' I to come upon the stage after the last
' I turn , to meet Miss Llbbey , he got some
applause. When Miss Llbbey came
on the stage for the reception there
was a moment of expectant silence ,
but nothing happened. Miss Llbbey
stood and smiled encouragingly , but
still nothing else happened.
Finally the gentlemanly press rep
resentative of the theater got busy ,
darted to the rear of the auditorium
and a moment later started toward the
stage with with a blond young woman
in brown upon his arm.
The young woman , who seemed ac
quainted with the theater , was ap
plauded as she stepped upon the stage ,
and a second young woman , a brunette
in a short black skirt , also got a hand.
Then there was some more expectant
silence and Miss Llbbey seemed tent
grow a trifle embarrassed. ted
Then a woman In black appeared
upon the stage , took a seat , and add
ed her smile of encouragement to that
of Miss Llbboy , which by this time
was faltering. Then the woman In
black who Is Mrs. Taylor , sister or
sister-in-law of the novelist , and who
Is acting as her manager , came down
into the audience and extended per |
sonal invitations.
Finally , from somewhere or other , a
little child In white ran upon the stage
toward Miss Llbboy , who took her up
and kissed her , while the audience dut
ifully applauded. The business with
the child took several minutes and
then the child's mother went on and
was the fourth to shake Miss Llbbey's
hand. Another painful period of ! inac
tivity and then the novellst-topllner
advanced to the footlights and , making
a few graceful but circular gestures
with her hands , took the matter in
them.
"If any lady would like to shake
my hand , " she said , sweetly , "let her
come upon the stage. My time Is ierm
ited. Just come to that side entrance
and pass through. > I have got just
about five minutes now. "
This brought forth a girl In a tan
suit , with a black hat. A minute later
another , similarly clad , was discerned
going up. Then there was more wait
ing and after two minutes had passed ;
two men , ono of them with red hair ,
having been urged by those about
them , started down the aisle and
mounted the stage , to wild applause ,
Then came the supreme moment ,
when a regular , typical Laura Jean
Llbbey man , with such dark romantic
eyes , curly hair , and a milt of perfect
fit. gracefully made his entry , bowed
low over the hand of the lady , said
a few words , and passed on. This
encouraged a man with a cap to do
likewise , but he was the last one to
bo so bold.
IF GAYNOR DOES NOT DIE.
That Bullet May Make the New York
Mayor President.
Now York. Aug. , ! ! ? . The Now York
Globe prints the following fron Its.
staff correspondent In Washington :
"The Washington view of the shootIng -
Ing of Mayor Gnynor Is that If ho sur-
vlvos It ho Is llkoly to bo the next
governor of Now York and the demo-
cratlc nominee for president In 1912
"It may well happen that when
James J. Gallagher fired an assassin's
shot at Mayor Gaynor he was doing
the very thing that was calculated to
make certain the rise of the mayor
politically. At any rate , that Is ono
of the possibilities of the situation.
"The Information here Is that there
Is not much question of the nomina
tion of Mayor Gaynor for governor of
New York If It Is seen that his wound
is not going to impair his vigor. It
Is known that some of the shrewdest
republicans In Now York have been
calculating all along on Gnynor as the
democratic nominee. More than that ,
there are some astute New York re
publican politicians who have talked
about the matter hero lately and they
have said frankly that If Gaynor was
named he probably would bo elected.
"This was before Mayor Gaynor was
wounded. That the circumstances of
the assault upon him and the fortitude
with which he has borne up have
helped to Increase his popularity In
New York and nationally Is clear.
"Already Minnesota democrats have
spoken out In favor of Gavnor ns the
available man for the democratic pres-
Identlal nomination. Others are extremely -
tremely likely to do so.
As the situation stands among the
democrats the great body of then ) are
looking for a Moses to lead them. If
Mayor Gaynor should happen to bo
the next governor of New York and
should make a success of It he would
be almost Invincible at the next demo
cratic national convention.
"It Is true that Governor Judson
Harmon is much in the limelight as
the possible , many think probable ,
nominee of the democrats for presi
dent. That is , he will bo a strong fac-
does not slip up on some one of the
numerous political banana peels that
his enemies are throwing In his path.
But the trouble with Uncle Jud is
that the Bryan wing of the party has
its suspicions of him.
"It has a deep , dark notion that he
Is allied with the so-called reaction
aries of the democratic party and Is
lukewarm toward his nomination , to
say the least. William J. Bryan Is
welt known to be hostile to the nomi
nation of Harmon. On the other hand ,
the Bryan forces would support Gay
nor , and so would a good many of the
conservative elements of the party.
"Looking at the situation In almost
any way one will. It appears , as most
politicians here size it up , that if Gay

politically. " ,
A BRIDGE JUMPER MAY DIE.
Young New Yorker Found to Have a
Dislocated Spine.
New York , Aug. 27. William Crulk-
shank , the lanter-Jawed young Scot ,
who jumped off the Brooklyn bridge
because of his misguided friends in a
swimming club up In Harlem had ban
tered him to try it , may not die , but
If he doesn't he will be In the hos
pital for several weeks. When he was
first taken to the Brooklyn hospital
the surgeons said he was uninjured ,
but a further examination showed a
dislocated spine and internal injuries.
When Cruikshank jumped his body
shot out In a long curve toward East
river , 110 feet below. A third of the
way down he began spinning. He
turned two or three somersaults and
hit the water square In hi.
his arms outstretched.
The form of the diver disappeared
with a mighty splash In a swirl of
foam. Almost instantly , though , his
head bobbed In sight again and he
began to make his strong , steady
strokes for the Brooklyn shore.
There chanced to be two tugs pass-
Ing. Both tugs ran close to the swimmer -
mer and the deck hands offered him
aid In the shape of boat hooks and
lines. Cruikshank yelled back that
he was doing first rate , and only want-
ed to be left alone and continued to
make for the shore.
But his strength began to fall when
ho was less than a hundred feet out
and he gladly accepted a rope which
First Mate Michael Brown tossed to
him from the schooner Normandle.
An ambulance was called and took
Cruikshank to the hospital.
REED ACCEPTS THE OUTCOME.
Says He is Neither Surprised Nor DIs-
appointed by Primary.
Madison , Neb. , Aug. 27. In re
sponse to the question , "What , If any
thing , have to yie
you say regarding the
recent primary election ? " Hon. Wil
lis E. Reed of Madison , former candl-
date for nomination for United States
senator on the democratic ticket said 1 :
"It Is perhaps needless for me to
say that I fully appreciate the gener-
ous support accorded me at the recent
primary election , yet custom requires
that I make public that fact and that
the ticket will receive my loyal and
energetic support , as it has hereto-
fore done.
"I have made no reference to being
sore as to the result of the primary
I election because the words 'sore' or
'wounded feelings' have no place In
my ; persona ! category. Neither was
I surprised nor disappointed at the
returns and shall bo found as busily
engaged In this campaign for the sueHi
cess of the ticket as though I had
never been a candidate for the olllce
of United States senator. "
DAKOTA'S ' 'MERRY WIDOW' WEDS ,
Girl Who Papered Shack With Love
Letters Accepts 1,001st Proposal.
Seattle. Aug. 27. Thin Is a story of
a real merry widow ana exactly 1,001
men. Each and every ono 'of the
1,001 begegd for a chance to marry
her. The 1,001st man la the lucky
one ; , and the wedding will occur short-
.
ly'
'
_
The merry widow she Is also young
Is Mrs. Rllla May Dike , a phone
operator. It Is questionable If Mrs.
Dike ever saw u single ono of the
1,001. But that did not detract from
the ardor of their love epistles. They
wrote from the north and south , east
and the west. They were old and
young men , tail and fat. All sent their
pictures a bushel basket full. They
kept up such u bombardment of the
pretty little widow that she was
forced to leave her claim In South
Dakota. >
. Mrs. Dike was formerly an Iowa
girl Ottumwn being her home. Three
years ago she married and with her
husband went to South Dakota. Ho
was killed In a wreck and Mrs. Dike
bravely j . faced the world and took up a
claim.
She called her place "Ottumwa" and
It Is still known by that name in
South Dakota.
At the state fair In Huron , S. D. ,
In 1908 , Mrs. Dike was awarded the
prize ' for being the prettiest young
woman In the state. Newspapers then
devoted ( columns to her photo and
beauty and that was the beginning of
the worst.
At first letters came by twos and
threes , but finally the rural delivery
man had to put on an extra mule to
aid ) In hauling the mall out to "Ottum
wa. " There were letters , fat ones ,
.
too , photoes , pictures , boxes of candy ,
dross goods , articles for the toilet , per
fume , plumes , hatpins , ribbons and
pet animals.
Mrs. Dike has a bungalow on her
1GO acres. There she opened and
read every one of the proposals. Did
she file them carefully away , tied with
pink ribbons ? Not Mrs. Dike.
Her house needed papering. Noth
ing would better serve for the pur
pose than a ton or two of love letters.
Mrs. Dike plastered the walls and the
ceilings and used the photos for roof
ing and with the surplus built a chick
en corral. Over all she pasted this
large sign :
"Love letter shack. Tack new pro
posals on vacant space. "
Mrs. Dike was literally driven off
her claim. She came to Seattle in
1909 and found employment. Here ,
however , her beauty attracted other
wooers , and though she fought them
off with her rugged South Dakota ex
perience she at last fell victim to
Cupid and a Seattle business man
won her hand.
At one time Mrs. Dike had 1,000 pro
posals ; now the number Is 1,001. And
that one makes all the difference In
the world. Love has triumphed.
AMERICAN SUMMER RESORTS.
London Writer Finds Keynote to be
Enjoyment Rather Than Display.
London Times : The real summer
resorts are of two classes , among
which we may take Bar Harbor , New
port and Saratoga as typical on one
hand , and Cazenovia , on Lake Owah-
gena , and Skaneateles , on the lake of
the same name , on the other. The
first are the haunts of the millionaires
miniature Ostends , with even more
formality of costume and entertain
ment the glories of New York trans
ported to another environment. Wo
men via with each other in dress and
jewelry and in every form of display.
Yachting Is the chief amusement , but
It Is the yachting of the millionaire
and not the sport of the enthusiastic
sailor. Semi-professionals engage in
tournaments for the entertainment of
the overdressed crowd ; the biases en
deavor i to extract some excitement out
of motoring and play bridge ; there
is [ the usual amount of flirtation. At
some of these watering places bathing
and water games are indulged in , but
sparingly and rather as an opportunl
ty for the display of fresh wonder ]
ments In the matter of costume than
for the joy of sensation.
In the other class of summer re
sort , however , we get quite another
atmosphere. Here we see the sum
mer girl and the summer boy In their
element. Society here no longer suf
fers from a lack of the masculine
leaven which Is noticeably absent in '
the towns , for school and college give
three months' vacation In the sum >
mer , and young men from 18 to 22
arrive In crowds to join the "summer
colony" and to share In the general ,
enjoyment. There Is a great deal of
informal entertaining , and it is at
the club that It chiefly takes place.
Dances are given by one or another
hostess nearly every night.
The keynote of the "summer colony'
is enjoyment and not display. It Is
composed for the most part of splen
didly healthy young men and maid
ens who find their chief delight in
physical oxerdlse , with the additional
stimulus of competition and flirtation '
The older members of the companj
play bridge or golf , fish , ride or drive
or watch their strenuous families com >

some other sport.
WHOSE THE NOISELESS GUN.
New York Police Are Searching for a
Mysterious Marksman.
Now York , Aug , 27. Who Is the per
son with a nolse > * ss gun who la mak
ing a target of persons passing along
the south side of Central park near
Fifty-ninth street and Sixth avenue ?
One theory is that the marksman
Id n madman who lives In one of the
j big apartment housed near by and
( Ires from n window. The other theoIt
rj Is that the reckless shooter Is aimIng -
Ing at birds and squirrels in the park ,
Whichever Is the correct solution ,
the , police are anxious to find the cutili
prtt before someone is.killed. Already
I several have been wounded. At about
4 o'clock Saturday afternoon David
I R. Peck , who lives at 1160 Simpson
street , the Bronx , was walking west
on the sidewalk along the park wall
when , as be approached Sixth avenue ,
he felt a sharp pain In his left ankle.
Then he saw blood on his stockings
and stopped a passing policeman.
An ambulance was called from the
Flower hospital and the ambulance
surgeon found a bullet hole In the
ankle. Peck was taken to the hos
pital and a 22-callbor bullet removed.
He was able to go home after the ope
ration.
Yesterday afternoon at about the
same hour Ferdinand Petrlck of 300
East Seventy-sixth street , also walkIng -
Ing west along the park wall , wiped
his forehead with his handkerchief
when he was opposite 58 West Fifty-
ninth street. As he was lowering the
handkerchief he felt a stinging in that
hand. He , too , sought out a police
man and an ambulance surgeon came
and dressed the wound. The bullet
had merely grazed Petrlck's hand.
After the ambulance surgeon had
fixed him up Petrlck looked along the
wall and found a 22-callber bullet flat
tened by striking against the stones
of the way , which ho believes Is the
one that hit him. He took the bullet
as a souvenir.
Recalling the Incident of the day
before , half a dozen policemen started
an investigation. Along the park wall
they found four or five more bullets
all flattened by striking against the
wall and all of the same caliber.
Then cabmen In the neighborhood told
the police that two more men and one
woman In about the same place had
been shot within the last three or four
days. The others had gone away with
out calling the attention of the police
men.
men.Petrlck
Petrlck , yesterday's victim , Is con-
vlnced the bullet came from the northe
west corner of Fifty-ninth street and
Sixth avenue. On this corner , which
Is across Sixth avenue from the New
York Athletic club , are a saloon and
a dance hall. Behind the low building
accommodating these Is the rear of
a large apartment house. The police
are of the opinion that the shooting Is
being done from a window and is di
rected at squirrels and birds In the
park. Policemen have been stationed
in the neighborhood to watch all the
windows and to put an end to the
sport.
RICH WIFE QUITS CHAUFFEUR.
Daughter of Big Railroad Official Lis
tens to Urging.
New York , Aug. 27. Dwlght W.
Pardee , secretary of the New York
Central and Hudson River railroad ,
the Lake Shore , the Big Four , the
Michigan Central , and the half dozen
other lines that make up the New
York Central system , has brought
about the separation of his 19-year-old
daughter , Mrs. Elsa Stevens Pardee
Collins , and his former chauffeur , Ken
neth Leo Collins.
The young couple Collins Is only 2) )
eloped from Brooklyn on July 1 and
vere married In the city hall of Jen
sey City by Justice of the Peace W
J. Burke. The news of the marriagt
of the elder Pardee's anger , of the
chauffeur's failure to establish himself -
self in the good graces of Mr. Par-
dee , and of the young wife's decision
o obey her father and give up a hus-
> and for whom , as she told him , she
no longer cared , became public today
through the dry processes of Jersey
ity's bureau of vital statistics and
he sympathetic comments of young
Collins" friends at Bay Shore , L. I. ,
ils home town.
Now the New York Central official
has taken his daughter away to the
country , while Kenneth Collins is
again driving an automobile.
Few of Collins' Bay Shore friends
knew anything about his romance so
swiftly terminated , for young Collins
keeps a close rein on his tongue. It
was not the opposition of Dwlght W.
Pardee that made so much difference ;
it was his wife's acknowledgment that
she no longer loved him.
Twice within a year Mr. Pardee has
found It necessary to straighten out
tils children's matrimonial entangle
ments. His son , Roy E. Pardee , just
out of college , In June , 1909 , became
enamored of a merry blonde , Lillian
H. Beasley , who had at the age of 19
married and burled a husband. Pro
vlously she had ornamented the front
row of a chorus. In her suit against
young Pardee for separation and all
mony she alleged that her husband's
father was responsible for young Par
dee's abandonment of her. It seems
that the railroad man had found out
few things about Mrs. Lillian's life
before her marriage.
When Mr. Pardee confronted his
daughter with his suspicions she con
fessed. Collins pleaded for a chance
and Pardee said he would do all ho
could to get him Into the railroad busi
ness and if , after a period of proba
tion , he made good and the young
people still loved one another , he
would see about their marriage.
He gave Collins good letters to peo-
pie In Chicago , but Collins , for some
reason or another , could not get ahead.
He lost one place after another and
then came back to New York. Appar
ently ho suspected Pardee might have
had something to do with his failure
to please. Anyhow , he sought out
Elsa , renewed his suit and they eloped
to Jersey and were married. After liv
ing with her husband two days the
girl went to Lake George and got Into
communication with her parents. Soon
after she wrote her husband that she
did not love hltn any more.
The Primary a Failure.
! Madison Post. The primary otoo
tlon of Tuesday demonstrated n uln
the fact that the law under which
It was held Is an absolute' fraud. With
over 200.000 voters In Nebraska tin *
i nomination of the democratic candlM
I date for governor Is detormlnod by
' : i2.IIO ! , of which Dahlimui received
'
! 8.2US and Shnllenbergor 11.112. DiihlHi
man's majority over Slmllcnherger is
4ISO and his majority In Douglas
county is over tJ.OOO. It Is thus seen
that Douglas county outweighs the
, entire state In the nomination of a
candidate for governor. A low under
which such a result can bo produced
Is a fraud , and IntelllgeiU and thoughtIn
fill men will call loudly for Its speedy
repeal. The recent democratic conlit
ventlon nt Grand Island , which was
representative of the party through-
out the state , would have nominated
Governor Shallenborgor by at least
400 majority. In addition to this the
primary nt this place demonstrated
that republicans voted for Dahlnmn
who will not vote for hltn at the polls
In November , and thus It happens that
republican votes succeeded In defeated
Ing Shallenberger and in nominating
Dahlman.
Every vote cast In Madison county
on Tuesday last , cost the tax payers
$1.50. There was not a turn out to
the polls and there never will be , and
the sooner the republican and demo
cratic parties have the courage to secure -
cure a repeal of this liiw and the reestablishment -
establishment of an Intelligent con
vention of method nominating candi
dates the sooner all persons will be
properly represented and the Inter
ests of the state conserved.
Adult Bible Classes.

a feature of modern Sunday school
work , has much of promise in It for

ciCi

president of "The Wide Awake Class , "
an organized young people's class.
Other classes are expected to organize
In the near future. Norfolk is behind
in this movement. The Methodist and
Disciple churches of Beatrice have an
enrollment of about 100 each In the
men's classes and the movement is
so well advanced at Falrbury that the
city was able to send a special train
carrying over 200 people , In the or
ganized work to the late state conven

own brass band and filled the church
with the noise of their class yells. It
reminded us of old times in college

ENGLISHWOMEN IN SPORTS.
Are More Than Ever Interested In
Outdoor Pastimes of All Kinds.
New York Sun : The Englishwoman
is becoming more of a sportswoman
than ever. This season she Is playIng -
Ing golf , she Is going in more exten
sively for uutomobillng and aviation ,
and she has taken up shooting with
Increased enthusiasm.
The sale of automobile outfits for
women has been larger than ever be
fore , and it is noticeable that most of
the buyers drive their own cars and
do not need the assistance of men in
making their purchases. They know
exactly what Is required and demand
it for themselves.
Golf Is far more of a craze than
In previous seasons , and it is played
with a business-like attention to the
game that necessitates the least fash
ionable and most serviceable outfit.
Women play at men's clubs whenever
they are allowed and when at a popu
lar resort they Ilnd they are barred
from the links they speedily form
clubs of their own.
Five years ago there was practically
no demand for guns for women. Now
the manufacture of a lighter gun for
women marksmen is an industry in
Itself , while even girls of 13 and 14
are learning to shoot straight with
guns specially made for them.
Cycling is about the only sport
which is less popular , and that Is
largely due to the fact that the auto-
mobile has made the roads dangerous
and unpleasant to the cyclist on ac
count of the clouds of dust In the
wake of an automobile.
It has taken a very long time to In
terest English women In swimming.
Many members of the London Bath
club are adepts at this exercise , but
It has been exceptional to find a wo
man swimmer at seaside resorts. This
year , however , teachers are busy
everywhere and their pupils range
from very young girls to elderly wo
men all anxious to master the arts
of swimming and diving.
