On next Tuesday, the opening day of the State Fair. Oklahoma
City will entertain Col. Theodore Roosevelt. He will speak from
the judges’ stand at the race track on the F'air Grounds.
The "Oklahoma City Times” declares editorially that the edi-
tor of the "Guthrie Leader" ha- gone stark, staring mad over this
capital business. The latest canard by the “Leader" on Oklahoma
City was to the effect that the F'air would probably not he held this
year on account of a lack of exhibitors. ( an you beat it
Oklahoma City merchants are preparing for big crowds during
the State F'air. Conveniences of many kinds are at the disposal of
all visitors. You can meet your friends. Use the ’phone, check pack-
ages, and buy stamps at any of the department or furniture stores
during the F'air and feel assured these little courtesies are extended
whether you buy from these stores or not. In reading over the ads
this week you will note the merchants who invite you. You are at
liberty to make headquarters while here with any of them.
FASHION WEEK.
The people throughout the state are most cordially invited by
the retail merchants of Oklahoma City to attend the Fashion Show.
Jt will be enjoyable and educational, and the Oklahoma City mer-
chants will delight in playing host.
To the end that they may properly fulfill the latter task all sores
will lx- thrown open simultaneously at ^ o'clock on the evening of
Thursday, September 26th, and for two and one-half hours the public
will be their guests.
Incidentally, the veils are all to be removed at 7 o’clock of that
game evening,—not before and not later. They are all to come down
at once and it is supposed that at the same hour Dame Fashion, gor-
geously attired, will commence upon her tour of inspection in the
down town retail district to determine whether or not her edicts
have been properly carrieil out.
Heretofore the idea of Fall or Spring opening has been confined
to those lines of business whose merchandise was of interest to the
female portion of the nation’s population, but the Oklahoma City-
Fashion Week contemplates the extension of the idea to all lines of
business. Already the dry goods stores, the purveyors of ladies’ fur-
nishings, the hardware merchant, the druggist, the shoe dealer, the
grocer and even banks and hotels have entered into the game with a
great show of spirit—hence the magnitude of the scheme promises
features of endless variety.
On general observation it would seem as
though the question of the day was not the
high cost" of living but what the standards
of our American mothers of the future will
lie.
On walking along the street one is com-
pelled to wonder if we are gradually going
back to the garb of our first parents in me
garden of Eden.
Clothes so tight as to display every fine
of the figure are more fit behind the foot-
lights than on the streets in the fight of
day.
If the American men are lacking in cour-
tesy to woman it is because the women themselves an- to blame.
The influence for good or evil that woman exerts over man is through
such mediums as dress, character and general deportment.
So if we are to elevate instead of degenerate let ua bgin where it is
needed.

A becoming arrangement for the
hair la a very Important feature of the
bride a alt* r getup, and this naturfeCy
include* the right draping of the veil;
to It would be ridiculous to claim that
any one «tyle of coiffure 1* to be used,
tor the lines of balrareszing must con-
form to the alse of the bead, the cut
of the feature* and the height of the
''ride. But, for the mo«t part, hafr-
Iressing is done on a very elaborate
scale, and to accomplish the van
•♦.pictures plied upon heads many false
pieces are needed. These go under
names too numerous to mention, but
tne bang the switch, the psyche pufT,
the cluster puff, the transformation
and the pin curl are some familiar
titles. In buying any of these pieces
by mall, the bit is matched to a lock
of hair from that part of the head
where the false piece would be worn.
Thus bangs and transformations are
matched to the front hair, switches
are Judged by the tints of the back
Jhlr, and so on. The reason for this
particularity la that naturally colored
hair la of many tones, and these seem
to dispose themselves over the hair
as they see fit; wherefore It la easy
enough to tell dyed false hair at a
glance, for the changing tones of the
natural color cannot be Imitated. So
dyed false hair la without the com-
mercial value of the false pieces In
natural colors, and when the tint re-
quired Is a rare one the false fixing
la still dearer. All those shades of
brown which have a drabllke tint,
Titian red, reddish gold and golden
and white blonde are dearer than oth-
er colors
A very handsome hair arrangement
for the bride who is not too tall—that
Is, much taller than the average worn- i
an—is called the “coronation,” this j
lending Itself most charmingly to the
lace veil put on in cap fashion, as Is
shown by the bride of the fashion pic-
tures. For this style, which is rather
Intended to give a little height to the
figure, the hair la parted In the middle,
and two braids are carried around the
head to form a large knot, showing
from the front view of the head. This
knot gives the support needed for the
mop arrangement of the veil, which is
fastened to It with a w reath of orange
h'ossoms, the lace border of the veil
falling about the face in a shaped
frill. 8uch veils, be It understood—
those with lace borders—are more
widely trimmed at the bottom and
• Ides than at the top, so the lightly
trimmed and narrower end Is shaped
as It should be for a pretty fall about
the sides of the face. With the “cor-
onation" coiffure a ribbon is often
worn about the braided knot, this end-
ing In a bow without ends at the side. [
For classic, statuesque types lace veils
are far more becoming than those of
tulle, which seem rather to belong to
youthful brides of saucy or demure
typep.
For the bride who is much below the
average height, Uie hair Is always
piled at the top of the head, the knot
often taking a pointed form, which Is,
of course, emphasized by a cunning
massing of the lace or tulle veil worn.
The bang will he a salient feature
of the colfTure of every girl who can
w ear the forehead fringe, but the bang
Is the merest cobweb, and It Is slight-
ly waved or left straight, as suits the
face. The fringe Is also quite short,
and when It seems unadvlsable to cut,
the natural hair for it, the little piece,
delicately woven to a silk thread, is
bought In false shape for about seven-
ty-five cents. A narrow, ventilated I
and naturally curly bang of “convent
hair" In every shade Is sold for a dol-
lar and a half, and where the forehead
Is very high, and the face thin, this
Is very softening to the features
The smartest tendency of all coif-
fures Is toward a distinct flatness of
the top of the head, where the hair
Is parted at the middle or at one side;
from the parting, wherever disposed,
the side locks go back with a light
waving, and the large knot of braids,
or puffs and curls is placed high
enough to show' all the nape of the
neck, and besides, elongates the back
of the head to a great extent. This
flatness of the top and rear extension ;
gives the head a very lovely contour,
and if the face needs the softening ofj
little curls they are put In many
places—at the nppo of the neck, below
or above the ears, or else In the round !
or pointed rear knot. As to the deep !
waving once done at the sides and un- \
der the bark hair, It Is still a fentur.-
of the coiffure’s waxen ladles, but Is !
by no means so conspicuous on human I
heads. The undulations admired arc I
wide and loose, as If the v avlng were j
natural, for this method certainly giver
a very legitimate look to the artificial-
ity.
Ornaments for the bride’s coiffure
are numerous enough, some very splen-
did bandeaux of pearls being seen, as
well as pearl combs and barrettes and
pins. But If the veil Is to cover the
whole head, as It generally does, the
ornaments had better be of shell In
the color of the hair, as In this way
they w«ill not conflict with the half o!
whole wreaths and the separate knots
of orange blossoms, used upon pins,
for fastening on the veil.

Dr. H. Bolte of Sapulpa. Okla., Is Still Waiting
Hfn FiuiKt
SEEMED TO
HAyE MOeEiT
mc es— J
EW YORK —Dr. H Bolte of Sapul-
fl pa, Okla , may find some satisfac-
tion In a notice sent to him the otbe^
day by Deputy Police Commissioner
Dougherty to the effect that Thomas
Brown Is under arrest here and will
be held for Dr. Bolte’s identification
Mr. Brown said his arrqgt was an out-
rage and that he never swindled a
dentist or anybody else out of $1,500 !
by a variation of the good old wire
tapping game.
This was the tale of the dentist
He came from Oklahoma to New York
to get to Europe. He had over $500 in
cash and a check for $1,000. He met
a nice fellow In a Broadway bar room
who called himself Walter Sims and
said he was a planter from Jackson.
Mis* 81ms introduced the doctor to
J. W. Walsh, a "millionaire grain
speculator of Buffalo." The two took
Dr. Bolte to a "club” at 128 West
ffe^ty-flfth street, w here one might bet
on the races.
Millionaire Walsh pried a wallet
from his pocket, unstrapped the same
and produced $20,000 In cash and a
oartlfled check for $20,000. He bet
the whole $40,000 on one race. Strange
to say, he won $30,000 Despite the
warning and caution of Dr. Bolte he
bet $70,000 on another race and won
again, at even money. Dr. Bolte s
eyes almost bulged out of his head.
Millionaire Walsh sauntered over to
the cashier to collect his $140,000.
"Sorry," said the cashier, "but we
will have to Investigate that $20,000
check before we pay your bet.”
Mr. Walsh was much put out He
took Dr. Bolte and the planter over
In the corner and confided In them.
"That blamed check is not good,”
he Informed them. There Is only
$6,000 back of It I have got to get It
back before they look It up. If you .
fellows can lend me enough to take
It up I will pay you $20,000 bonus
apiece ”
Planter Sims produced $500 in cash
and a check for $12,000. Dr. Bolte.
thinking of what he could do with
that $20,000 in gay Paree and in the
concert halls of Vienna, could not con-
tribute bis $500 and his check quick
enough. Millionaire Walsh put In a
check for $6,000, representing his actu-
al cash balance.
The dangerous overdrawn check
was withdrawn.
"But," said the cashier, “of course,
you must wait until we have heard
from these checks. That will take a
week."
Dr. Bolte is still waiting.
Woe Confronts Women Golfers With High Heels
HICAGO.—The French heel, the
military heel, the Cuban and all
the other leather prongs of fashion
have been discriminated against by
the South Park commissioners In fa-
vor of the low- squat, broad, common-
place heel—that is. on the Jackson
Park golf course
Hundreds of women are complain-
ing of the new rule. But the neigh-
boring cobblers regard It as a dis-
pensation of Providence and are writ-
ing for catalogues of the 1913 model
automobiles.
The park commissioners, who have
no soul for art and no eyes for beau-
tiful heels, are enforcing this rule only
for the sake of their horrid old golf
links, say the women.
Six hundred owners of fancy heels
the other dev were refused admission
to the couriff, and almost every one of
them went to the nearest cobbler to
have the offending three Inches or so
of leather cut down to the regula-
tion three-quarters of an Inch.
There were many protests from
women who hesitated between their
love for the game and appearance.
"But I can’t wear low heels,” com-
plained one. "You see, I have such a
patrician Instep, ana those squat heels
might cripple me."
"Is this too high," Inquired another
golf fan. exhibiting an Inch of heel
shaped on the general order of a tooth-
pick. *Tve had it cut down already,

and I simply won't wear them any
lower
The attendant took one hasty
glance and explained that It was the
small, dainty heel that did the most
damage to the links, especially when
the rain had softened the grounds
The "common-sense” heel, as the at-
tendants insisted on calling It, despite
feminine pouts and frowns and "I Just
don’t cares," is not liable to do any
damage, while any other kind will cut
up the turf.
So it was that many were angry
when turned away from the grounds,
but a glance at the sign convinced
them that their only recourse was to
the cobbler. The sign reads as fol-
lows :
Men and women may not use thi* golf
course while wearing hlgh-heel shoes.
Only low and broad heels such as are
commonly used In the practice of sporta
will be permitted.
Games attendants are Instructed to en-
force this rule.
"Just about one-third of the would-
be players have the right heel," said
an attendant.
