A n interesting rumor rife in Wash
~ ington announces that one Of
the most prominent and pop
ular young women of the Diplomatic
Corps. a woman of great beauty
and personal charm, of reputed
wealth and inordinate ambition; a wo-
man who has waived off sutton after
sutton, who has included in her train of
admirers a Spanish grandee and Per-
sian prince. an Austrian count and a
Russian nobleman-one who is said to
have refused the hand of both monarchs
and millionaires-has finally capitulated
TO a young man whose sole claim to
favor lies in the beauty Of his dark
eyes and the fascination of his smile.
BY every mark this young woman is
unusual. Personal pulchritude in a man
is an asset little valued by women.
Handsome men are, as a rule. disap-
pointing. They rarely, If ever, succeed
at anything. They cannot even be
agreeable.
This fortunate indifference of femi-
ninity to masculine beauty is only an
other manifestation OF the great law Of
compensation that runs through the
universe, and for which the vast majority
of men have reason to be deeply thank
full. as ,ninety-nine out of a hundred Of
their species are hopeless bankrupts in
the matter of physical perfection.
Then it is not pity after all that causes
pretty women to marry ugly men, but
natural preference for LONELINESS i'm
planted by nature in the feminine breast,
to prevent the practical cessation OF
marriage and giving in marriage.
Fortunately. too. the happy indulgence
of the sex does not stop at good looks
Its charity extends to moral defects a.
well, else the matrimonial mills would
cease to grind altogether.
Women not only frequently turn from
Hyperion to a satyr in looks, but from
a model Christian to a sower of wild
oats. Here again is the working of a
natural law for the elevation of the race
The woman who marries a man 10 re-
form him is really impelled by an unex-
plicable force 10 bring up the standard
of morals. But IL is an unscrutabie
mystery why women should be doomed
by their instructive altruism to so hard
a task and so sad fate.

AsBURY PARK, n. J.. July 25.-AIl
the resorts along the north Jersey
coast are filled to the limit with vaca-
tionists. Another week will see the
season at its height. and for six weeks
following vacant rooms at the hostelries
will command premium. Asbury Park
and Ocean Grove, as usual are the OBJ
jectiYe points for seven-tenths of those
who come to Monmouth county for a
seaside outing. The arrivals this week
despite the Indictment weather. were
above the July average.
There has been a dearth Of social
functions this week. The only enter
tainments given at the hotels consisted
of hops, card contests, and Sunday
evening musicales. For some reason the
masters OF ceremonies, whose duty it is
to provide entertainment for the hotel
patrons, have not gone out of their way
this season to evolve anything new. but
they fall back on diversions that were
in vogue when the resort was in swad-
ding clothes.
Asbury Park Lawn Tennis Club. which
Is composed Of resident and visiting
members. opened this morning on the
Educational Hall courts. The events
scheduled are mems singles and doubles
and mems consolation singles.
Canoeists from all parts of the coun-
try will compete for the prizes in the
series of races to be held on Deal Lake
on August IA and IS.
Visitors to Ocean Grove this week
have enjoyed a varied program of spe-
cial services. During the week meet
ings have been held by the Woman s
Suffrage Society. The last-named or
ganization will have charge OF the serv-
ices in the Auditorium tomorrow, when
the Rev Reginald John Campbell. the
famous London divine, will preach both
morning and evening. Next week the
Sunshine Society and Epwortb League
hold conventions in that resort.
