Admiral Clark of tie OREGON Is Il Wit.
His reputation is based On the following
story. which some os the Wo-icn's Club
mcr,bers are telling with great gloe:
Last week. during TIE short visit CT one
dag which Admiral Clark made II town,
President Francis gathered few Worlds
Fair directors and their wives fer j little
luncheon to the Admiral at the 8. Louis
Clab. One Of the wives, who is also
Nc:ncns Club member. sat next to the
Admiral at luncheon. lie had heard of
the newly formed club and expressed great
interest in their clubhouse ard rules of
government. The lady gave him rluch in
terestins information thereon.
Finally he said:

women called the 'Teacup Inn
You see. it is. therefore. but a step

of the holiday guests, much to the delight
OF his family. to say nothing Of his
fiancee. Miss Mary Euston. He is now
aboard the flagship Minneapolis. stationed
in the New Orleans harbor. but will get
leave for Christmas.
1 hear very commendatory things said
about Lieutenant Ridgeley, by the way,
by naval officers. He is considered one of
the most efficient and capable young men
in the service. The Euston-Rldgeley we'd
ding will not take place before spring. IN
til the expectant bridegroom can get a long
leave.
