How Mrs. Andrew Sfmonds Out
yitted Her Rivals.

With a woman's wit. Mrs. Andrew
Simonds has dealt a fearful blow tc
the st. Cecilia society. She used Pres
ident Roosevelt as a cudgel, but he
knew 1t not until the stroke was de-
livered.
Mrs. Simonds' husband is the pres.
ident of the First National bank and
one of the wealthiest men in Charles
ton. She traces her lineage we'll into
the medieval ages, but not far enough
for all that, and the st. Cecilians look
askance upon her aristocfacy.
President Roosevelt did not know
that. 1t was one Of the things~ais
instructors as to South Carolina had
overlooked. When he stopped yester.
day at Summerville, the banker
wife was one Of the first on board lc
greet the visitor.
I'VE are centainly glad to see you,
she cried. "You must come right "
to luncheon with me-"
Many st. Cecilians had climbed
aboard the Algonquin, the revenue
lcutter. All stood back aghast. Some
raised their hands in dread at such
audacity. A woman not of the st. Ce.
cilians who dared invite the president
to luncheon before the select society
had feted him!
1t seemed preposterous, but never.
theless it was true. Mrs. Simonds
stood smiling happily. and then--oh
horror Of horrors! The president ac-
cepted her invitation! Like a queer
leading a visiting prince among hel
peasants, Mrs. Simmond conducted
Colonel Roosevelt through the gaping
st. Cecilians to her carriage, and q
iAw minutes later he was sitting al
one of the daintiest repasts he haG
ever known.
This wonderful woman had ordered
| it before she went to the train to meet
him.
The war between the st. Cecelians
and Mrs. Simonds is Of old standing
but heretofore the organization has
had a great advantage in point Of
numbers and prestige. The society is
supposed to be the most select II
America. and certain members seem.
ed to take perfect delight in snubbing
or rather trying to snub, the bankers
wife.
| The most recent engagement be-
tween the lone fighter and the st. &C.
cilians was a few days before a bal
was given by the Colonial Danes t
visiting D. A. RS. Mrs. Simond:
was invited as a matter of course, bu
the ST. Cecilians went to the chairman
of the ball committee and told her tha
the invitation would have to be re
voked. The chairman did not dare dis
obey, and Mrs. Simonds went t.
Florida, vowing she would be avenged

1T would seem to me like one or
those accidental crimes that are so
hard to trace" said Gordon. This
man Ladlslov. after vainly pursuing
you, became separated from his COM
panlon and encountered an enemy,
who took advantage of an unexpected
opportunity. Such men have number
less enemies. They carry their lives IN
their hands. Perhaps this act OF pri-
vate vengeance Is connected with the
attempt to drag Mile. Shevafoff back to
Russia. but probably it isn't"
