MISS ROOSEYELT'S FAD
IS TANDEM DRIVING
Presidents Daughter Now
Receiving Instructions.
HAS GIVEN UP RED DEVILS"
Proves Herself an Apt Scholar in the
New Line and Promises to
Become an Adept.

Miss Alice Roosevelt, having been
compelled to abandon her desire to pur-
chase red devil" has taken up tan
dem driving as her latest fad. She re-
ceived her first lesson in the method of
handling four ribbons several days ago.
and besides proving an apt scholar has
become keenly enthusiastic over the
sport.
Miss Roosevelt is receiving her instrue-
tions under the personal supervision OF
George Ryder, proprietor of the riding
and driving academy. Immediately after
her arrival home. last Monday, she
plunged into the work of learning the
new pastime with the same amount OF
vigor and enthusiasm that characterizes
the Presidents acts.
Displays Rare Ability.
a pair of sturdy horses accustomed to
tandem driving were used to teach the
Presidents daughter the difficult art.
She Immediately showed indications of
becoming an adept and displayed unex-
pected ability in handling the reins.
Miss Roosevelt has confded to some
of her friends that she will probably
affect tandem driving instead OF stick
ing 10 the usual style OF horses abreast.
The momentous question now is whether
the initiative set by the Presidents
daughter will be followed by the other
residents OF Washington who take an
interest in driving as a pastime.
No Objection From Papa.
The objections to Miss Roosevelt driS-
ing an automobile were raised by her
father. No reason for his opposition
became known, but the general belief
was that he feared for her safety. TO
tandem driving. however, no such objee-
ton as this can be made. and it is i'm
probable that Miss Roosevelt will meet
with parental interference.
With operating ''red DEVILS" taking
submarine boat trips. and affecting the
tandem style Of driving, Miss Roosevelt
has proven herself fully as strenuous as
her distinguished father, and altogether
qualified to set a new pace for her
young friends.

Why Are Men Interested?

Men, and newspaper men in particular,
have been deeply interested in the pro-
ceedings Of the Dressmakers' Protective
Union, which met in New York last week.
It is even safe to assert that they were
more interested than some women. Wheth-
er or not it is because they were enabled
to gel q feeting glimpse behind forbidden
scenes, or let into the mysterious way of
putting on corsets Is a. question. But the
latter IS probably the correct solution,
since the edict has come forth from Lon

For Successful Thin Frocks

Badly fitted corset covers, petucoats,
ETC., can spoil the lines Of any thin frock.
There should be no awkward fullness
around waist and hips. The petdcoat should
reach to the floor and have the correct
fullness and flare around the hips.
A silk slip has always been a friend IN
need in the summer wardrobe, and IS de-
sirable even now, but with the so-called
wash materials a slip Of fine lawn is con-
sidered even more smart. If silk slip is
chosen 1t must be cut and made with the
utmost care, for upon the lines of the slip
the grace of the gown often depends.
A gorod skirt is fitted smoothly ind
closely around the hips. with the back full
ness laid in plaats and stitched fiat. A
goodly flare at the bottom is imperative
but THE ordinary petticoat treatment Of q
very deep, full shaped hounce, bordered
by frills and lying over a dust ruffle Hnt
a second medium-width ruffle, is not al
ways adapted to the semi-transpareni

WOMAN7S REALM
How Many?

How many men should a girl be engaged
TO before she is married? This question
strikes at the roots Of society, and genera
tions to come will be influenced by IT.
Just as the kitten acquires valuable prac
tice by playing with the dummies before
she enters upon the senious business Of the
professional mouser, so. before the knot IS
tied, i is proper that a girl should fortify
herself with as much preliminary training
as possible. Yet this does not imply reck-
lessness nor that superficial skimming
from one subject to another which pre-
cludes a proper mastery Of the problem
Enough time should be taken to hook the
man thoroughly, and, when he is properly
and steadily in hand, TO study him until
the possibilities are exhausted. Only then
says Tom Mason in the March Cosmo-
politan. should he be relinqushed, and an
other specimen should be selected, and 81
on until the final adjustment.
The ideal, toward which you are direct
ing your efforts, Is, Of course, to acquir'
such working knowledge Of all men that
when you are married, the management o
one will be a second nature-a habit of hfi
that Imposes no additional strain and doe
not take away your attention from othe
enjoyments that you have a right Ito ex
pect.
