The other man was that tall, fair man
e Clrcassian, the dragoman said-who sat
next to US at lunch and who was so at

right, and I was perfectly willing to pay
| double for the unexpectedness of it..

that their views regarding women would

such views into account
No one made reply Admiral Misabel
looked momentarily aghast, but the in
accessibility of Mrs. Foam to fact or ar
gument was as obvious as her good hu-
NOR Then, having to her satisfaction
explained matters, her mind drtfted TO
other things. The war was the most i'm
mediate. She expatiated at length, and
exhausted her vocabulary In declaring
that the war surpassed any and all other
military operations of history. 1t was
beyond telling glorious. The wisdom OF
the powers that be was little short OF
miraculous we were destined to wonder
full things.
And the Philippines" rhapsodized the
good lady. What field for missionary
labor! What G. destiny what q future"
''HumphI" said Admiral Misabel. i've
lived seventy odd years, madam, and the
only effective missionary work I've ever

preach truth to people and break faith.
You cant say: Thou shalt not steal
and then take what the people believe
belongs to them"
But Mrs. Foam was running free be-

told us that we should all read Senator

sounding down the aIsles of history. It
would surpass her own cherished lecture:
'In the Path of the Flag" She was

In the same spirit, and expressed pretty
much the same ideas. From this time on
Mrs Foam swept the decks and no one
tried to stop her. BY the time dinner was
over was hardened and desperate. So,
when we once more gained the deck, I
said:
Mrs. Foam 1t Is growing late and I
have ordered the steam launch'-of
course she had sent away her tug-"to be
in readiness to take you ashore
She parted efrusively from everybody,
asked everybody to come and see her,
both at the Waldorf and al Odessa, and
told Mrs. Orpen and Cicely that she would
expect them real soon. I accompanied
Mrs Foam and her friends to the wharf
and did not lose sight Of them until they
were safely off for their hotel.
We have never since encountered Mrs.
Foam. Her name has lately appeared in
the papers, though. to the effect that she
is organizing in the Middle West Wo-
mans Annexation league, an organization
,, fostered and glorif1ed by the Rev. Simeon
teet. The league. however. according to
the papers, proposes to memorabilia con-
gress, and Senator Hatcher, 1t is said,
will have the honor Of presenting the
memorial-New York Evening Post.
