the court house Saturday night, has written a letter to The Tribune, asking
this question: "If women were given the
just as their husbands dictate?" :
That is too much for any newspaper to be called upon to answer. Some
women are dictated to, but others dictate, so there you are. Those who
accept orders from husbands, in 'all probability, would trot along to the polls
with their mates and vote as requested, but this would be offset, we believe,
hv trw crreat armv of ladies who occosionally tell their husbands "where
to get off at."
There are a great many men who boast
them, but in this progressive era, only
conversation as that.
The men who imposed upon this newspaper with that question is either

As the referee in this case, our answer is not going to be decisive. This
newspaper's attitude on this question is similar to that of the old darkey

"Wha' am al! yo education?" scowled the old darkey. "Hit hain't "dee

Therefore, The Tribune is not going to take the side of those who claim
that suffrage will give every husband two votes where he has only had one

WATCH THE TWO BILLS RUN.
With the election but a few days off it is time to begin to speculate on
favorites to win and to show. Being independent in politics, The Tribune
will take its place in the grand stand and watch the boys run by.
But we like speed, whether it is Republican or Democratic. The Tribune
is not going to attempt to frame a slate or predict winners in general,
but there are two candidates who are going to sprinkle dust in their op
ponents' eyes. They answer to the same name, run like red socks in a rain
storm, yet worship at different shrines.
We refer to Senator Stone and William Paar. We know little about Mr.
Paar's opponent, and what we do know about him is good, but he is pitted
against Bill Paar and that's a plenty. Any man who is matched to beat Mr.

afternoon of this week which was helc

of Modern Languages, English and
Public Speaking. The social hour took
place on the terrace just outside of
Science Hall and was quite a pretty
and large gathering. There were over
200 registered during the afternoon
giving an idea of the popularity of
these delightful functions.
The Bridge Club met this week with
Miss Rebecca Houck and was one of
the most enjovable of the Autumn
meetings. It was made doubly at
tractive by the hostess clever ar

THE SINGING WIND.
o, singing wind! O, lingering wind!
Bear happy dreams to me
From where my darling sits and
sings
And hears the murmourous stir of
wings
That fly incessantly.
O, winsome wind! O, wayward wind!
Fly o'er the bending corn
And bear my kisses to her hand,
That plucks the lilies where the
land
Is newly washed with morn.
O, lisping wind! O, whisp'ring wind!
Bear back her words to me!
I perish for a single thought;
For life were vain and fame were
nought
Without love's company.
Mrs. Al Huhn's social gathering of
Wednesday was one of the delightful
affairs of the week. The house decor
ations were chrysanthemums which
were scattered here and there about
the rooms in great clusters. A two
course luncheon was served. The
guests of the afternoon were Mes

upper part having long, close sleeves
set in small armholes, and a wide, flat
belt of the material separating this
upper part from a box pleated tunic.
The belt was set very low on the fig
ure, giving a youthful line, and the
box pleated tunic was not attached
immediately to this belt, but to a fl
inch yoke of fine, vertical tucking,
which defined the hips. This young
ady made quite a striking appearance,
was the envy of many who could not
help but remark at the simplicity, yet
elegance of her attire.
Mr. and Mrs. Hahn and daughter,
Miss Isa, and Mrs. L. S. James and
daughter, Miss Hazel, came up from
Illmo Saturday and were the guests
of Mrs. A. D. Speak.
Quite the most elaborate and largest
social function of the week was the
reception given by Mrs. Samuel Car
ter to meet Mrs. E. J. Deal, a recent
addition to the Cape's society and
club circles, who has come here but a
short time ago from Charleston. Her
husband, Mr. E. J. Deal, is the presi-
dent of the Southeast Missouri Trust
company, and prominent among the
bankers of the state. The Carter
hmnralow was a beautiful mass of
autumn leaves and dahlias and candles
were lighted about the rooms, which
threw a soft pretty glow over the as-
semblage of handsomely gowned la-
dies. The hostess and guest of honor
were charming in their toilettes of ex-
quisite white lace with satin under-
dresses. Assisting Mrs. Carter were
Mrs. Robert Giboney, Mrs. I. B. Miller,
Mrs. J. H. Himnielberger, m the living
room. Mrs. R. B. Oliver presided at
the table in the dining room and had
as her assistants five pretty society
girls, Misses Marguerite Oliver, Mary
Kochtitzky, Susie Giboney, Leona Cun
ningham, Mary Burroughs. Mrs. Hai
ry Coffman and Mrs. Dr. Hope assisted
in looking after the comfort of the
guests. About one hundred invitations
were issued, a number of out of town
ladies being among the invited.
Misses Otillie Oberle, Elizabeth Mc-
Kcnzie. and Elvina Joggerst, teachers
from Ste. Genevieve, are here attend

to join in the spirit of the occasion
and to have an evening of real merry
making. The program arranged is one
that will delight everyone, so let no
one remain at home because they do
not dance, there will be other attrac
tive amusements.
On account of so many other affairs
going on in town Thursday afternoon,
the meeting of the Cemetery Associa
tion was not as large as was expected,
and for that reason another meeting
will be called later.
A jolly party of young married folks
and girls and boys were seen leisurely
jogging along in a hack, out the
iiloomhelrt road ihursday evening,
singing and happy as larks' They
were on the way to Elmwood, the
home of MrLoisTloCtck-rVhere they
arrived about 7 o'clock. After build
ing a great camp fire and unpacking
their many baskets of good things to
eat, they sat down to a real feast,
from turkey to after dinner mints.
Later in the wening they tramped t'
woods in their endeavors to stir up a
possum or two, but the little fellows
had heard of their coming and took up
their night's lodgings in another field,
so the hunters returned home some
what disappointed. In the party were
