No affair in recent years has caused

referred to. The young woman was
heartbroken over the publication and
appealed to Beale, an old friend of her

advice of Williams and together they

In speaking of the affair Williams
said: I'VE undoubtedly committed an
assault on Marriott. but we feel we
were entirely justified in doing SO, as
he had attacked in his paper the char

satisfied that the attack in his paper
was made with malice We felt that
the only remedy for such a procedure
was physical punishment, and we ad-
ministered it,
Beale said: The attack was made on

lives with her mother in San Rafael.

The fashion Of binding books in COW
ers Of white Is anything but attractive,
because these covers grow diDgy in a
short time. Besides, books bound in
this fancy" binding do not look so in
yiting and readable as books bound in
more substantial, darker colors. The
white covered book says plainly, "Do
not take me into your hands. / am
made simply to be looked at" Many
unfortunate mistakes are made in the
search of novelty and beauty.
Fashion takes no account of small
women. The latter will go the rounds
of the stores in vain attempts to find
silks and foulardS with small designs,
and ready made suits that will at least
partially fit. Everything is made and
designed for tall women and for those
about the medium height. By the way,
what is the medium height for woman?

Still another, this time little girl. A
teacher who was showing portraits of
Queen Victoria and her family held up a
picture of the Duke of York. Nobody
in the class could tell who it was.
"Well," said the teacher, "He is the
Duke of York, and now can any of you
tell me what he is?" The hand of little
girl went up as she answered quickly
and promptly, "He's the heir consump-
tive to the British throne"
