Nothing to do Hut Work No Place to go Hut Home. It Is with Infinite pleasure that we women read of the finish of the poli tical campaign In New Mexico. The wrangling has ceased and pub lic men are state officers or ulso-rans, not villlans. Husbands have become the usual useful adjunct to everyday existence and may be found at the of fice during business hours and home at nights, some of them. The thread uf man's thought may now run to something else than torrential elo quence on the high qualifications of himself, or his chosen man, for high office. Whatever else the po.liticluns cannot do, they certainly can talk. The air has been blue with political eloquence, lo these several moons. No old woman of the olden time Whose garrulity led her to the duck ing stool for in thoBo days of a truly, forceful masculinity, men would not let women even talk found it more irreslstable to enlighten others than have our politicians. We may pick up the daily papers expectantly and without treplditlon. Cartoons of our best friends, hus bands or brothers will be conspicuius by their absence blessed absence and there's a chance one may come across nomethlng else besides me merits or the demerits of this or that man, a yelp from another would be candidate, or a murmuring whisper from one of the many, none of whom, were actuated by selfish motives, of iour.se not, but all earnestly Intent on saving the country. Society Had Her Finger in the Poli tical 1'le. Well, It Is saved now and the sig nal Is given for the state at large to heave p. happy sigh of relief that the election is over well over, thank goodness. A shallow and unobservant mind might assume that the recent political wrangle was a subject well out of my province. nt ho. for it has been ot prime importance to Albuquerque so ciety, in fact, It has had all the sig nificance of Hamlet's "To be or not ,to be.'' Quite a few wives of prominent candidates have watched tensely and absorbingly their liege lord and mas ters take 'the political hurdles and figured out gay social pyrotechnics on election chunces. More than a few have counted on increased social Prominence. Even now the wives ot the defeated are taking their medicine sourly. For ti woman with exceptional taste and an entirely satisfactory husband finds it hard to understand when the voting public fails to appre ciate his numerous good qualities. It happens often, as you know, nnd the wife doesn't matter unless her husband is elected. Mrs. McDonald New Mexico's "First Lady." Speaking of women coming sud denly into the limelight through a political victory, there's Mrs. McDon old, wife of the first governor of New Mexico and the first lady In the state. Due to preside at the high cocka lorum jamborees upon state occa sions, Mrs. McDonuld becomes sud denly and vastly Important to the so eiety folk of New Mexco. What's she like? The looks, .the tastes, and the general characteristics of Mrs. McDonald, the governor' wife, assume public Interest whereas ,ln private life she might not have mattered to you and I or the public at large. I must confess that I with many others know little of Governor Mc Donald's family. There Is a grown daughter which sounds Interesting and really we must look a bit more definitely into the family history.' Why Not Steal the Capital? Too bad, the capital isn't here, don't you think? In my humble opinion and with all duo respect to the ancient and historical Kanta Fe nnd its famous brand of hospitality. I think the capital should be in Al buquerque. So think we all and wouldn't this be some society burg, then Talk about fine social pyrotechnics, why with dowagers tumbling all over themselves to get In on the proud oc casions and rallying about them their I social coteries It would be something like. Aside from the social aspect of capital life there are the official cir cles which all dignity to liny town. Hut, dear me, what's the use of so much wasted hot air? The capital Is In Santa Fe and we can't steal it off hand. Swelldom here can take a run ud for the inaugural hall and otherl big doings and hope for the best. Hoping for the best and grabbing it is Albuquerque motto, anyhow, so take care, Santa Fe, take care, ft POLITICS CAISED A SLIMP IV SOCIETY. Men Who Hot nil Their Money on the Election Didn't lake to 1 art lea Very Much. Coming down' to strictly local facts there aren't any, many I should say. We need a capital or something to keep up the social excitement. Things are expected to wake up a bit, now that the political racket is hushed. Funniest thine it interfered ser iously with society. Here's how hus bands, with Interest deeply Involved In the election, and in some cases dollars entered on the final result, did not dis play any enthusiasm or the price fip their wives' entertainments. 'Until after the election" was the slogan in social us well as In business circles. It was a very inauspicious time to approach thejr husbands on the subject of parties, so say some of the society women who tried It and got the 'nothing doing" ultimatum. Some men In the stress of the mo ment and anxious to get back to poli tical petards rashly promised big parties when the battle was fought and the voctors proclaimed. Prob ably It depends on the winning side. y ft ft. ft. YK1SA WU-STATESOX N IPTIALS HKILLIAXT. Allien Stateson Made a Stunning Hrlilc I rlends and llelutlves Fifty strong Snw the Pretty Wedding. The Yrlsarrl-Ktateson nuptials, the engagement announcement of which created the usual Jlutter of golng-to-get married variety, happened on Wednesday late . In the day and just time enough for the young couple to make their get-away on an earlv eve ning train. They made the train, al right, but failed to miss the rice and old shoes which go along with the "bless you, my children" on most of the honeymoon trips. "Children" is right, in this case. You know, both are ridiculously young, or dellciously so. as one may chance to regard the matter of their ages, which Is, Indeed, a matter of small moment when two young things take it Into their ro mantic heads to get married. Mrs Yrlssarl of now. AIDerta Miueson ui yester years, Is still in her teens and an extremely prettv girl. She made an awfully good-looking bride, as one could well Imagine. Her gown was one of the sartorial dreams you read about and occasionally see. All white, of course, and one of the .exquisite empire models that are uni versally becoming and really tend to 'create beauty where it does not exist. In the case, however, of Alberta .Stateson, the dainty gown, veil en shrouded, did but enhance her unde niable beauty. The material doesn l .matter but It was the softest and sheerest of crepe de chene over mes sallne and a great shower bouquet of brides roses completed the bridal out fit. Exceptionally pretty, also, was the frock worn by Salome Statesor. ,who was her sister's bridesmaid. II was white silk veiled In green chiffon and vastly becoming. While on the subject of dress, the bride's away gown was smart as could be. a tailored suit in a rich shade of brown with a stunning hat to match, snots and purse were In keeping. , At the wedding were seen some lavishly handsome gowns and the Stateson home, chrysanthemum deck ed, showed them up to satisfying ad vantage. It was a ricn nupiun - Tiiir white chrysanthemums, con trasting effectively with much K"; ery, were profusely usco wuuh..v the rooms. The prettiest spot was .h ninm of ceremony.

Of especial in terest to the society folk taking In the show was the appearance of Mrs. Charles White. She was absolutely natural and entirely charming, arf cl ing neither stage airs nor manner isms. Mrs. White's !ong number was delightful and she was kept busy gathering Mil flowers sent over the footlights by admiring friends. Nothing liner' in home dramatics has been seen than was Mrs. John Colbert as the bowery girl. She wa great, and her song, "He's My Kld.lo" In which she was assisted by Mr. Scottl was Immense.

Probably 'twas she that sent him the huge cluster of chry santhemums. Mrs. Hren ' and Charles Sapp of Kansas City, both being professionals, added just the required dash and spice with their gongs nnd general as sistance, All were so good, how ever, that It Is hardly fair to particu larise. . Parts particularly well cast were those of Vtolet De'Tulllo as the vil lage gossip, Charlotte Pratt as the cigar girl, with a pretty song num ber, Herbert Asselln as the leading man. Jack Harvey as the hotel clerk, John Tlemey as the deep dyed villain and Joe MtCanna as the waiter. The chorus work was excellent, the pony ballet being especially good, though the beauty chorus run them a close race In the singing and danc ing numbers'. ft ft ft MftS.
