The Plan Developed Strong Friendship, but
Did Not End in Matrimony.
From the Brandon Bucksaw.
Perhaps the most novel romance on record
for any young girl is the provisional arrange
ment said to have been entered into several
years since by Miss Patten, eldest daughter of
the late Mrs. Patten, California, to Senior
Rafael Cana, whose brother at that time was
minister from Chilli to America.
The foreigner. though the senior by MANY
years of Miss Patten, yet hoped to somewhat
equalize all such difficulties by the wealth of
which he expected to be master upon the sale
to an American syndicate of his silver mines in
Chill. Senior Cana did not speak one word of
English. while his lady love was as gloriouslv
ignorant of Spanish, but they met upon the
common ground of French, and each sought
in this way to finally overcome the obstacles to
a perfect understanding in their respective
native languages
The plan decided upon in the matter of the
engagement was that il should be held by both
in the most liberal sense as provisional. That
il. for n period of six months they would be
though all public announcement to be
avoided, they were virtually to consider them
selves engaged for the time agreed upon.

In return the young lady was to hold herself

hours were to be whiled away with music, the

At the end of six months each was to be

Mrs. Yun's delight in the adoption of a new
spring bonnet is unbounded. Since the in
genIous little woman has been her own
milliner too great credit cannot be awarded
her by all far-sighted husbands In addition
to her personal preference for the modern toilet
Mrs. Yum had a strong incentive to its
adoption in the rude stare of the masses, often
coupled with insulting remarks, such as Where
did you get that hat and other like witticisms
directed against them whenever they appeared
upon the streets. Being possessed Of uncom-
mon good sense. Mr.. Yum never looks for an
occasion of offense, but wisely pursues the tenor
OF his way undisturbed by the petty annOyances
of the ignorant or thoughtiess. When once
asked by the wife of a prominent naval officer
whether the curious crowding of strangers
upon the occasion of his receptions did not
annoy his sense of propriety, he smiling. re-
piled with true French shrug of his shout
ders. ION, it is nothing Nothing at all Such
things must be expected under any republican
form OF government"
AS LISGuIsr.
Shortly after his arrival in the country the
secretary was made aware of the fact that
French was the spoken language upon all state
occasions. Accordingly he Immediately sought
a professor and conscientiously devoted three
mornings out of each week to the study
of Ia belle langue"-though at the
same time he was enthusiastically abb
sorbed in the requirement of English
A month or so later he attended diplomatic
dinner at the White House and was seated next
to newly appointed secretary of one Of the
South American legations, whose knowledge of
French Was unfortunately limited. During the
meal his neighbor addressed him in English
and inquired with unfeigned surprise how he.
a Korean, had acquired such fuency
in the French tongue. Mr.. Yum promptly
responded: "A very easy matter in
deed. i simply engaged the services of a
real native tutor. and little study was all that
was needed" OF late the secretary and his wife
have been devoted attendants upon the Sun
day services at the Church of the Covenant
Their appearance in the sanctuary has given
rise to various surmises to whether
these strangers to our faith and creed
were seriously considering the advisa-
bility Of joining the Presbyterian church.
Such a step. however, could not possibly be
taken without imminent risk of life and prop
erty to a native Of Korea. and as Mr. Yum is
too true a subject and too wise a diplomat to
thus voluntarily place his neck under the
headsman's ak. the solution remains in the
acknowledged determination of the couple to
follow the sage precepts Of the adage
when in Rome do the Romans do
According to their usual custom Mr. and Mrs
Yum will spend portion of the summer at some
one of the many fashionable resorts either in
the mountains or sea shore returning early in
the autumn to the attractions of their enlarged
and greatly beautiful home on Iowa Circle.

FASHION AND COMMON SENSE.

Notwithstanding all that is said to the con-
trary there is no doubt that fashions are much
more under control by common sense than
they used to be. Even tight lacing has well
nigh gone out. though the fanatic dress re-
formers would not have YOU believe il. The
absurd chignon. so universally worn a few years
ago. WAS done away with chiefly by the howl
that was made against il on grounds
of cleanliness and health. The hair Of which
these remarkable adornments were composed
was shown to be derived from the most objec-
tionable sources. much of il coming from Zulu
land, where the native ladies who supplied the
commodity were not over particular In the
care OF their tresses. Consequently, the I'LL
ing Of the chignons were apt 90 be in
ted with small parasitic animalcules
called 'gregarine,' which would make
their way into the circulation of the
body OF the wearer and occasion n variety Of
horrible diseases. A German scientist examined
thirty different specimens Of hair at hair
dresser's in Nishni Novgorod, twenty of which
were found infected with gregsrine. To a GER
tain extent all artificial hair in the market is
liable to such infection. inasmuch As most Of it
is obtained from the heads Of the very poorest
people, mainly the peasantry Of Europe"

ADAMS AND JEFFE,

ADAMS AND JEffEkSOS.
Mr.. Adams and Mr.. Jefferson had been Do
iitical rivals-leading the two opposing parties
at a period Of great bitterness. In the days
when Frenean and Duane published their daily
assaults upon Washington and his administra-
ton Mr.. Adams, being the Vice President,
was the object upon which the enemies Of
Washington vented their bitterness. and as
Mr.. Jefferson supported Frenean and gave him
a position in the Department of State he
was held by tho President responsible, and he
complained that his libeler should be employed
by the Secretary Of State The difference in
the views of Mr.. Adams and those entertained
by Mr.. Jefferson were radically opposed to each
other, and hence for years no intercourse took
place between them; but age brought it's kindly
influence, and in June, 1922, Mr.. Jefferson
wrote the following letter to Mr.. Adams: ''It is
