carnival queen.
ADMIRER OFFERS
FAME AND FORTUNE
He Would Pay Her Expenses
to Be "Naturalized" and
Buy Election
[Special Dispatch lo The Call]
SACRAMENTO, April 29.—An ad
mirer of Miss Margaret-Oswald, lead
ing woman in the Ifcßea stock com
pany, playing at the Dietenhrock the
ater, this city, r has broached to the
pretty actress a proposition which he
believes will add immensely to her
fame, if she will carry out its 'terms.'.
This admirer, whose name Miss Os
wald loyally refuses to divulge, lives
In one of the cities of upper California
| which is planning; a carnival for 1 this
| summer. He suggests to ' the actress
that she come to live' in the place and
declares that if she does he will have
her elected queen of the carnival in
June." Not only does he promise ■' to'
purchase enough votes to insure her
election, but he will pay her expenses
and those of a chaperon while she Is
staying in the town, becoming "nat
uralized" for the queen contest. ,
"I want my town to have the hand
somest queen in the Sacramento val
ley, my dear Miss Oswald." writes the
enthusiastic Warwick, "and I know no
one in the whole state who would
reign with the '- grace, dignity and
beauty which you could give to the
role. You have acted many parts far
more difficult than the { one 1 would
have you fill. This town must have a
real" queen, and you are qualified to
be it. Answer at once, for I am most
anxious" to hear from you."
, tactful littlo note Miss Oswald
thanked her admirer for his nomina
tion, but declined the proffered honor,
saying that her theatrical duties were
such that she could not quit the tfcßea
stock company, '■however dearly I
would love to be a queen," she added.

TO LADIES yjjj^
Dear Madam:
YOUR good taste will have already convinced you that a MAN-MADE
suit excels all others in that exquisite grace achieved by masterly simplicity, which
is the distinguishing attribute of the well gowned woman.
Your economic judgment will doubtless have convinced you that a MAN-
MADE suit. excels all others in true economy when built out of the best men's- A
- . weave Woolens. For it lasts twice as long, and owing to „g f^. >~ -.^
the slight variations in fashion in the true MAN-MADE '"' /^
suit, it is always good form. , , .'- l--'.'-\ • .'* v
But you may still be under the impression that a ' " Hr^^^S^^
genuine MAN-MADE suit is costly—that you have to 2*s§jjm £ Jl| '
expend $65 or $70 to possess one. ■ '-' P^^afilßk ' "
We desire to remove this erroneous impression — ' ■^^^^f^-i'^M
we are anxious to prove to YOU that the contrary is the "~J jfcf^^
case—that you r can own one of these beautiful and &Mw!ss!&^~-
exclusive MAN-MADE suits without any extravagant jfi^&islBl
expenditure; in fact, at LESS MONEY than you - ■"ftXyVjKl
