Show F "EVENING DIAPHRAM" GIRLS AT PORT- ILAND. (Special Correspondence.) Assisted and chaperoned by O. Mercy Proper, the Evening Diaphram girls are having the time of their lives at the Portland exposition, where they are receiving the most lavish and unique attention. Yesterday morning they were waited upon by the Duke de Kokokola, who urged them to make a trip in his private yacht to the Dar-denelles. Dar-denelles. This is but one of the many flattering offers the Evening .Diaphram girls have had to become an advertising medium for continental Europe. This morning the alarm clock having failed to go off sooner, they were up with the sparrows, spar-rows, only to be ushed into the presence of Secretary Sec-retary Taft, who stated that Miss Alice Roosevelt, Roose-velt, who begged the privilege of an interview before going to see the wild animals in Moro, awaited them in her special traveling sacque, "Kimona." The attentions showered upon them are so great, that the Delectible Eleven have concluded that they are in need of a much needed rest, and as soon as the Lewis and Clark exposition is over, their period of convalescence will take the form of a tour around the world, all at the expense of the Evening Diaphram. All business is suspended as the Evening Diaphram Dia-phram girls traverse the main thoroughfares. Business men cluster round them, begging them to sign their narrcs to sealskin checques, but your correspondent, C Mercy Proper, has carefully warned them against all skin games, and will save them from harm even if he has to use profanity. pro-fanity. Almost be 'ore they had started having the time of their lives today, a telegram was received from General Trepoff, inviting the Evening Diaphram Dia-phram girls to visit him at Moscow, where, he states, elaborate pyrotechnic preparations had been made in his honor, in which he would be very glad to have the Evening Diaphram girls participate. The Evening Diaphram cares nothing for expense. ex-pense. The girls will be given an opportunity to see all the sights in the great northwest. Each of the girls has already been presented with a free ticket entitling the holder to a round trin ride on the "Seeing Portland" car. In a few days a trip will be taken to St. Francis Fran-cis D'Assisi, which is the Arabic for the place where the waves stop. Although the girls are now globe trotters, they have as yet shown no signs of excessive pride, and will be glad to come back to dear old Utah in the very best chair cars the Evening Diaphram Dia-phram can secure.
