While naval officers express the great
est lreetion for Admiral Dewey, 1t is
stated that homcward trip on board
yessel carrying an officer of Dewey's
rank will not be one Of great pleasure.
The admiral will be given receptions
and banquets, all of which the junior
officers will be obliged to attend. There
will BE- inspections, reviews and exhibit

turn with Admiral Dewey are not es-
pecially cnvied by their brother officers.
To return with the admiral is conceded
TO be high honor, but, as one officer
expressed it TO newspaper correspond
ent a. Washington: "It means dress

Who IL to Blame?

There has been a good deal Of nag
ging from time to time at the expense of
the American women who win the favor
of titled foreigners, and a great deal
OF II has even gone to the extent of
charging that the American heiress
who contracts foreign marriage
proves herself disloyal TO her country,
and sells her birthright for title.
There are instances in plenty, says the
baltimore News, TO show that our
American girls do not lose their senses
when they marry foreigners in the way
that some people would have us be-
llcve Nobody can blame the titled for
ciCncrs, at least, for carrying our
American girls away. It is a wonder,
in view of the constant increase of for
eign trayci, that there are not more
Conqucsts OF this kind than there are.
While there is no doubt that many
matches between American girls and
foreign noblcmcn have reflected no
credit on either side, it is worth while
to note chat there is, in this as in other
things, plenty OF room for discrimina-
tion.
