Weddings the Only Relief
From Summer Dullness.
Several Nuptial Events Arranged
to Take Place Wednesday.
Many Going on European Trips POST
poned Last Year on Account
of the War.

With the White House closed, the Cabi
net families scattered, and the Diplomatic
Corps more or less on leave-to say moth
ing of the owners of the boarded houses on
the fashionable thoroughfares, who have
been gone long enough for the grass to
grow unkempt in their terraced lawns, the
city is beginning to be dull-deadly dull
There are a half dozen or more weddings
to come off, few more valedictories to be
read and medals awarded, and then the
spokes of the social wheel will come to a
dead stop, to stay SO for all the long, hot
weeks between this and the first breezy
days of October. Early bookings at the
summer hotels show a great increase ever
last season, and it is said that the coast
resorts will be gayer than for years.

in the fact that the sixth and last Miss

William Mercer has never made the

From Raccoon creek by way of Hunt
ington and Charleston, w. Va, come
the stories of William Mercers court
ships. It would be more exact, per-
haps, to say the story Of his courtship
of the Moffitt family, for there is
curious monotony about his courtships.
He wooed Mis- Anna in the self-same
way that he wooed Miss Jennie, Miss
Missouri in the same fashion as Miss
Ada and Miss Catherine in the fashion
of the rest. He grew gray in the in
tervals of these wooings, and his step
grew less elastic, his beard grizzled.
That was the only preceptible differ
ence.
Mr.. Mercer raised corn on his farm.
The Moffitts raised wheat on theirs. Mr..

HAS K,PLlNG'S AUTOGRAPH.
Famous Author Gratifies the Wish of an
Evanston Girl.

There Is a young lady in Evanston who
has treasure, compared with which the
erstwhile apple Of her eye is nothing but
a mere bargain counter souvenir. 1t is
book of Kipling's verses, and on the fly
leaf of the volume is the authors auto
graph.
The lady who owns this priceless book
was in New York during Kiplings illness
and by good fortune happened to be stay
ing in the very same hotel. There was
Just one thing in all the world she want
ed. and that one thing was Kipling's au-
tograph When it was announced that
the great young man was at last on the
road to recovery she could refrain no
longer and she hit upon what seemed to
her an especially ingenious method of OBJ
tanning her end. She waylaid the kiplings'
in the hall just outside their door one day
and asked her to carry the book to Mrs.
Kipling with the request for her auto
graph. 1t was of course. Mr.. Kipling's
signature that she really pined for, SO
she hoped her very timidity would hint to
him what she wanted. The maid took the
book and the 25-cent piece which the Ev-
anston girl gave with it and disappeared
into the Kiplings' rooms. A moment later
the Evanston girl heard issue therefrom
perfect gale of laughter, in which
slightly weak, but Enthusiastically mascu-
line voice mingled with the lighter rip
pies of feminine merriment The listener
fled down the hall, where presently she
was discovered by the maid. who returned
to her the book.
Mrs. Kiplng said she was very glad to
write her name in your book said the
maid, "but she didn't know what the
money was for'
1.-THE money! gasped the Evanstonian.
"Why. yes, ma am" went on the in
genuous maid. II gave it to her. Wasn't
that what you wanted me to do?"
Later In the daV from the DEPTHS of her
humiliation the Evanston girl wrote
humble note of explanation to Mrs Kip
ling, and later still she was invited to
come in person and meet the kiplings,
who were smiling yet at the wholly uneX-
pected honesty and guileless maid SER
want. When the Evanston girl examined
her book she found in it not only Mrs.
Kipling's name. but in one corner of the
fly leaf the coveted signature "Rudyard
Kipling."
