Poplar WiitT, fo., Nov. 27. Be
cause .e had in bis jilatfonn a plank
promif iiitf to marry some fair voter
if the newly enfranchised women
would cast theirfirst ballots for him,
r. State Senator-elect E. E. Penzel is
- probably the busiest dodger today
" of all the newly-elected office hold
t irs beset hy patronage seekers.
r- Found literally swamped amid a
.' small deluge of delicately perfumed
love notes, of all shapes, sizes and
j colors, Senator-elect Penzel was
asked just what he was going to do
about keeping that campaign' prom-
l
a He's ""Bewildered.
; - "I can't say anything just now; I
C am bewildered by the large number
j- ot applicants, and it will take time
Z. ior me to decide," he answered. "It
v isn't a question now of finding who
'V I can get for a wife, as I figured
during the campaign, but a matter
k of whom I must choose. 'Over
iV wlielm d' is not a word sufficient to
:' explain my position now."
v. And the senator-elect systemati-
cally slit open pink and blue and
r. lavendar tinted envelopes, carefully
r read them, indexed thein and neatly
arranged them for future attention, j
w. Many Scented Notes. j
"What kind of a girl will you
pick??' the correspondent queried.
m "I will never know," he answered,
"until I see the one for me. I had
f;i. no idea I would have such a chance
to pick one. I thought it would be
:i ctuestion of who I could find. Now
it seems to be a mattej of who will
liirk me ." i

positions." ,
- Wins By 5,400.
He added that if elected he would !
take a wife with him to Jefferson
City for the first session of the leg- j
islajure.
Penzel. although a. republican, won
by a 5,400 plurality m the Iwenty
first district, normally democratic
by 800. Seventy-fite per cent of the
-women in his district voted, he
avowed, and he modestly added that ;
he believed ca per cent ot them cast
their ballots for him. Anyhow, pol
iticians attribute his great plurality
to something more than the nation
wide republican landslide.
Bachelor of Thitry-five.
, Penzel is thirty-five years old and
a bachelor of the type that the fem
inine sex would probably consider
good to look upon. He appeared
'careful in his dress and jolly in na
ture. -
JJany of the politicians of the
. Twenty-first senatorial district were
inclined to regard Penzel's marriage,
plank as a joke. But it lias ceased
to be-k joke if it ever was oat to
Penzel, and it is rumored that nu
merous of the fair voters are await
ing with some expectancy and per
haps a little anxiety the fulfillment
6f.his cr.pa;?n pledge. ' ,

Chicago, Nov. 27. University fac
ulties received a solar plexus rap at
the deft hands of Prof. Rollo Walter
Brown, of Carleton college. North
field, Minn., in an address before
the National Council of Teachers of
English, in which he said:
"I have come to the conclusion
that any student, to receive attention
from the faculty oi the average col
lege, must be, to a certain extent,
morallv and mentally deficient.
"In the last 10 years I have visited
many colleges and I have attended
a number of faculty meetings, and
while I have found that consider
able time has been devoted to such
questions as the number of fraternity
(lances to be given during a season,
what hour at night the fudge kitch
ens in the eirls' dormatorics shall
close and what size paddle may be
used durinc the initiation of fresh
men, never have I heard five minutes
devoted to the question of the ex
ceptional student' destined to he a
leader in whatever 1e of endeavor
he shall follow." .
Professor Brown said tlie average
college student was not exceptionally
brilliant, but that it was the fault of
the college, inasmuch as the school,
through its athletics, fraternity
dances and similar attractions, get

Charges Consipracy.
In the alienation suit Mrs. l$ee
charges Mrs. Johnson with consipr
ing with her husband "to get rid
of her and humiliate her in public"
so she would seek relief in a di
vorce. Mrs. Johnson is the wiJow of the
late Joseph Johnson who died about
two yearsgn, leaving an estate of
l. ore than $200,000. Previously she
had been married to a man named

Mrs. Rees will ask for the custody
of her child, Lois, and an equitable
division of her husband's money and'
property. She asks for alimony dur
ing the pendency of the suit, i
"This has been such a terrible
blow to me I don't like to talk about
it, said Mrs. iices Saturday. "We
had a happy homf until that woman
stole my husband's love. I'm much
happier now because I am back with
my mother and father. I will remain
here until everything is setrred."
Mrs. Johnson denied all charges
made ly Mrs. Rees. Further than
this she refused, to make further cont
inent, declaring that her attorney, C,
E. Abbott of Fremont, would make
any statements that should be made
public. Abbott, declined to com
ment on the case. He said that he
would have to study ,the complai't.

Christmas Isn't So
Very
Far Off
The old, familiar "Do Your
Shopping Early", wjll soon
greet one from all sides, and
there is every' advantage in
following this advifce. But
may we suggest in addition
"Do Your Shopping Care
fully?" If price alone is to
be your guming light real
pleasure is not apt toy follow.
Appropriateness, new ness,
charm, and, above all, a con- ,
sideratfon of quality should
be the foremost considera
tions in the selection of gift
merchandise. Thompson-Bel-den'
s"have much that you will
enjoy - seeing helpful sug
gestions on $very side.
Beauty and Utility in
a Single Gift
Some small luxury for the home is
ever appreciated, for the most
pleasurable gift is the one which
the recipient would not have pur
' chased for himself.
' The book-ends, or candlesticks or
vase that brings a thought of the
giver each time it is seen.
The vanity case of 'brocade and
''gold lace, the powder bowl, the
tiny budoir lamp, the taffeta
gowned doll for a telephone cover,
and a host of other boudoir fixings.
And from smaller gifts to larger,
the parchment lamp shade, the
tapestry and velvet pillows and
scarfs.
t
In short, any one of the intriguing '
novelties that a walk through the
Art Department discloses would
make a delightful gift.

Dresses That 'Emphasize the
Charm of the Wearer 1
Simplicity in dress is a virtue
not to be ignored. A truly be
coming gown is one which
, does not divert the attention
from the personality of the
woman who wears it.
Subtle draping, restraint in
the application of trimming
and a general air of fineness
of fabric and workmanship
are the chief charms of a
Thompson-Belden frock.
Our very comprehensive selection
begins at 19. 50 and includes dresses
for 69.50, 98.50 and up to 275.00.
