Miss RiveS managed to do it, although.

Gallant Sir Thomas Upton was one
of Miss Rives' first callers. One of the

noted yachtSman gave in her honor.
Many notable LOndoners were present.
Miss RiveS has been the guest Of
Mrs. Potter at Burlington House, st.

the reincarnatiOn of Plato IS arousing
wonder among less inspired people by
her remarkable knowledge of Socrates
Plato, Kant and Schopenhauer, whose
works she has never read.
Miss Marguerite Cassini, the niece of
the Russian ambassador at Washing
ton, with whom originated the idea Of
the Fencing club which has just been
inaugurated in that city, says the rea-
son that Russian women are such mag
niticent specimens Of womanhood is
that they are imbued with the health
argument from earliest childhood and
that their lives are regulated to con
form with health principles.
The National Patriotic society, which
Is now forming for the relief Of Ameri-
can sailors and soldiers, was the idea
of Mrs. Richard Henry Savage, the
wife Of the novelist. Mrs. Savage is a
Russian by birth, Washingtonian by
adoption and New Yorker by prefer
ence. She is wholly American in
thought and feeling.

Of this novel paper claims that her Of
fee is the cleanest of it's kind in the
world. The only freak feature Of the
paper is that the first four columns Of
each edition are devoted to a love
