SUFFRAGE IS EX TENDED TO WOMEN OF , ' LOUISVILLE. . . . Will Cast Ballots on Matter of $1,000 000 Bond Issue for Moreand . Better Schools. ' Western Newspaper Union News Service. Louisville, Ky. Through an opinion of Attyv-Gen. Garnett, rendered to Press Ray, Clerk of Jefferson county, suf frage is extended to the women of Louisville of legal age and qualifica tions on the matter of the $1,000,000 bond issue for more ' and better schools in this city. Ray wanted to know if the women of Louisville should have a separate ballot to vote on the bond question. Garnett says: "Section 155 of the constitution gave to the Legislature the right to de termine 'the qualifications of voters in the ejection of School Trustees and oher common school district elec tions. The Legislature, by Chapter 47 of the acts .of 1912, gave to all women who can read , and write, and who . possess the legal qualifications of male voters, the rjght to partici pate Jn thgr election of School Trus tees and other common school district elections. An election confined to the city of . Louisville for the, purpose of determining whether bonds shall be issued to build schoolhouses and en large, school grounds is in my opinion, a common school district election, and it therefore follows that women would have the right to vote in this election." AGAINST SPECULATIVE SUITS. Louisville, Ky. Resc'-utions were adopted, here by the Beard of Trade asking the co-operation of the State Medical Association and the State Bar Association in an attempt to eliminate from the courts the large number of damage suits for personal injury to employes and others, filed against corporations, apparently as a mere speculation. In many 'cases it was said such suits are brought merely in the hopes that the corporation will compromise for a small amount rather than submit to a greater expense in beating it in the courts, and that the number has recently shown marked in crease. A report from a committee ap pointed to consider means for the elimination of speculative suits was adopted. QUALITY OF TOBACCO FfNE. Lexington, Ky. J. D.

The description of this novel party will be in time "to assist many of you who want to give welcomes home to many of your friends who have fared abroad this summer. Ocean travel and trips on the great lakes clear through to Buffalo have, been very popular, as there have been some palatial steamers put . on this year which have given voyagers a sijnse of security on our treacherous inland seas. With all this in mind the hostess asked eight friends, every one of whom had taken a "steamer" vaca tion. Two of them having made the old-fashioned "befo' de war" trip from St. Louis to New Orleans on "the river." The guests were asked to give only fifteen-minute descriptions of what was to them the most inter esting or exciting part of their trip, and thus you see two hours of the afternoon "from three to six" was beautifully filled. While one person "talked," the others had their needle work. The affair was held on the porch and there were as many steamer chairs as the hostess could borrow. After all had arrived, the twelve-year-old boy of the household dressed as a ship's steward, served hot beef tea and "pilot biscuit," and during the afternoon the time was sounded by bells. Books of travel, guide books and literature ,so abundantly furnish ed by steamship lines was scattered about, and there were many souvenir postals with a desk equipped for writing should anyone wish to send a last message back by the pilot, who came in dressed . as- a sailor (a dear little chap in middy suit with "FLst Pilot" on his capband). After each one had had her1 turn with no interruptions of mal de mer, delicious refreshments were served, and everyone agreed that it had been El most delightful afternoon, as it had given good friends the opportunity of meeting and hearing each other's experiences just when they were fresh in the . mind, and all were so enthusiastic. Lists of books to read were exchanged and plans begun for "next" year's vacation and the next "steamer experience" " party, which v:as voted should be an annual affair. A Corn Roast Our amusements are greatly gov erned by the season of the year, and right now the popular thing" is a "corn roast." Of course they are not new, but there is something decided ly alluring in a moonlight night, a big bonfire, just the right crowd, and plenty of nice, sweet roasting ears, not forgetting sweet potatoes bacon, coffeo and the delicious sandwiches the irirls know, how to make. Even the effete eastis having corn roasts with the smartest of the smart set as host and hostess. Motor cars are often discarded and hayracks with four horses call for the guests. If a colored man who knows "just how" is available, he may be called upon to superintend the broiling of the bacon, roasting the potatoes, corn, and making the coffee;, if not, the men of the party will be found quite capable. Banjos, guitars and the cushions from the wagon add to the enjoyment after the repast, then the affair usually winds up with an in- formiil dance at the home of the host ess. These are delightfully informal affairs. Here is a list of sandwiches that the girls tell me are especially nice for such occasions. ' I cannot give the rules, but I am sure you all will inow how to go about making them just from the names.

This is a very goo'' combination providing just the righ shades are selected. A Bonnet Party. Now do not say that bonnet purtie . are old, until you hear about this on which was given for twenty children When all had arrived the hostess passed three sheets of colored tissue paper, some squares of crepe paper of gay color, and two fancy paper nap kins to each child. On a center 'ta ble she puts pins, scissors, tubes of paste and little towels and a bowl of water for wiping the paste off of finger-tips. She said a half-hour would be allowed for making any kind of a hat, cap or bonnet, the maker to don. the headgear and when time was call ed they were to form in line and pass before the judges", who would award the prizes. Such a busy time as those children, had; they were really most clever, too, In building their hats. The old est guest was eleven and the youn& est eight and some of the work was excellent The prizes were doll band boxes containing lovely hats for dolly and the ice cream was served in the dearest straw hats (dell size) lined with waxed paper. The children en joyed the novelty and each one went home with her creation on her head. It" is needless to say that there were no boys at this -party. The young hostess declared that boys from nino to twelve were "no. fun." I do not know what our boy friend3 will say to this; perhaps some of them will mend their, ways a bit, so as not to be left out of parties. MME MERRI. Smart Blouses.
