Lady Lansdowne entered with Mrs

bodice was clasped with a single orna

Can Afford to Be intellectual.

Men want beauty, not intellectual
ity' was the sentiment of the co-eds
of the Northwest University expressed
by number of them at banquet re-
Gently. The Evanston seat of learning
is noted for its pretty co-eds, and that
may have something to do with it.
Anyway, when a number of them were
asked to discuss beauty and brains
they decided for the former with, OF
course a sprinlkling of the latter.
The discussion was raised at the
University of Chicago banquet, where
brains and marriage were talked over
by the women at Green Hall. There
brains were declared to be no insur-
mountable barrier to attractiveness,
provided they were properly kept IN
the background A typical coed was
heard to say: Is it possible that any
university girl would rather be intel
lectual than pretty? l can't believe
that. If you ask a hundred girls the
question, some of them may deceive
you by their answers but at heart
they are more envious of beauty than
of anether's scholarly superiority" !
If one is pretty, why, then, one
can afford to be intellectual, too, seems
to be the opinion of this girl, who ex-
pressed herself as follows: "The ideal
coed is one in whom intellectually
and beauty are combined. If it came
to choice between the two, think
that most girls would unhesitatingly
prefer to be pretty than respected for
their knowledge I believe that most
girls go to college for other purposes
than to secure a higher education.
They know that there they will meet
good society and nice men, and per-
haps they realize that Intellectually
adds charm in the eyes of most
suitors."
But it was a singular fact that no
college girl disagreed with the other
phase of the question raised at the
banquet. They all believed in mar
riage.

tice that she has outgrown her former
weird style of dress, and now she wears
quiet gowns. Washington was con-
vulsed when the senator's wife first
took up her residence there. She insist

AN INDOOR PICNIC.

Invitations to indoor picnic lunch
cons are flying around just now. The
hostess in nearly every case is a very
young woman, but there are indice tons
that some of the older folks are taking
kindly to the idea.
An indoor picnic luncheon is some
thing like buffet luncheon, with this
difference, that the viands are not
passed around by servants. AS a rule.
the number of guests is limited TO
about dozen. The appearance of the
guests in the dining room is a signal
for the servants to disappear and to
remain out of sight.
At one of these affairs, given the
other day at suburban resort by
debutante. the six girls and seven
young men who trooped into the dining
room found big oval table loaded
with good things to eat.
At one end was a big bowl-not a
platter-of chicken salad, at the other
end punch bowl of cold coffee, and in
between dishes big and little filled
with cold bouillon, sandwiches cold
chicken pie. escalloped oysters (the
only hot dish), stuffed eggs, stuffed
olives, sweet pastries. loaf cake. pre-
serves, fresh fruit and bon-bonS.
The table had a cloth of grass-green
silk almost covered with ferns. On
smaller table, also draped in green,
were piles of plates, cups and saucers,
knives and forks and spoons, napkins,
finger bowls, a we'll of lemonade and a
pitcher of ice water.
The guests proceeded leisurely to
seat themselves around the room, evil

fore them, tray in hand, to serve the

Thereupon the guests fell to and ex-
hibited what is a marked feature of all
indoor picnic luncheonS, namely a pro-
digious appetite This feature may be
explained by the fact that guests ara
permitted to help themselves as they
choose. Thus a girl may begin with
chocolate cake if she wants to, and end
with bouillon.

outcome of a recent divorce. ThesWife
alleged drunkenness as cause of COM

an ungovernable temper. The couple
was lofty in the local society, and senti-
ment was divided. The learned Judge
granted the wife's plea. The husband
was a rich man, but the judge stipu-

month after the decree she met her for

over her runabout and exchanged a
pleasant word. The wife replied de-
jectedly: I think it was horrid of that

cordially. Cant, Ell? Well, I'll tell

Don't Be Too Confidential.

We are all more or less prone to in

and with some of us it is an very-day
affair.
Lucky, yea, even thrice lucky, be the
man or maid who can keep his or her
own counsel in all things and not take
another into the precious secret.
But there are some poor misguided

comes the certain conviction that they
are making most precious fools of their
heretofore highly respected selves, and
their one wish is to bring back those
awful words that have just betrayed
their choicest secret into the keeping
of another.
Just about this time they begin to
feel very foolish. and if they have not
completed the confidential outburst,
end it in such lame and limp fashion
that it only makes things worse than
