What lee aeentleman7v "

A letter which seems likely to pro-
woke discussion is published in the cur

readers OF the Weekly, considering the
question What Is Gentleman"
takes the position that the English in
depreciation Of the term which implies
distinction Of birth and antecedents
Is no less absurd than the American
idea that 1t relates to character and
conduct. A gentleman, he says, may
be Of aristocratlc birth or he may not;
he may be a scoundrel or a paragon, a
deacon or highwayman; but he must
have good manners, wear clean linen,
and know the parts Of speech" Why,

The Ocean Park Country club Is the
hub around which the social wheels Of
ocean Park revolve. Mrs, Abbot
Kinney, wife Of the president Of the
club, enjoys social precendence sec
ond to none in the community.
Mrs. Kinney is a woman Of singular
charm. She is the mother of whole
some hearty, healthful family Of boys
and girls. She is simple and unas-
suming in her tastes and absolutely
unaffected in her manner While she
has assumed the responsibility Of social
duties attached TO the prominence of
her position, she is essentially Of a
domestic nature. In her following are
numbered many Of the most substan-
tial families who participate In the
social gayeties of the season. She
lives up to a high ideal Of her social
obligations and in quiet, unostenta-
tious way has befriended many un-
fortunates. In her charitable and
philanthropical indulgences she has,
indeed, lived up to the biblical injunc-
ton not to let the right hand know
what the left hand is doing.
The Younger Set
Among the younger element which
goes to make up the active social life
of the seaside colony. Mrs. Jessie CAL
houn Anderson, wife Of w. H. Ander-
son, city attorney of Ocean Park, is
an acknowledged leader. Mr.. and Mrs.
Anderson are both prominent social
characters in the community.
Mrs. Anderson has dwelt in the So
cial atmosphere since her earliest girl
hood days. At tender. age she was
presented, like many others. to the
late Queen Victoria at one of her draw
ing rooms in London, and she is ex-
perienced in the rigid social training
coincident with a London fashionable
season.
One of her sisters is Virginia CAL
houn, who has recently made a pro-
nounced success in the title role of
Ramona. Another sister is the wife of
Eugene Lazarovitch. the head Of the
royal family of Servia-
Mrs. Anderson is a gifted elocution-
ist and uncommonly clever In amateur
theatricals. Before her marriage she
had the advantage Of studying under
the best masters in London and Paris
to appear. on the stage and she has
turned this histrionic accomplishment
into account for the benefit Of her
associates and companions In a social
way. Thanks to her ability and tai
ent and to her active interest in many
charitable enterprises, the social sea-
son in Ocean Park has frequently been
enlivened by many delightful enter
tainments. She has entered enthusi-
astically into many little affairs that
have been arranged for philanthropic
and patriotic purposes. She was large
ly instrumental in arranging an enter
tainment, the proceeds of which netted
q sum sufficient to defray one-half of
the expenses of building guild hall, at
tached to the Episcopal church. To-

concerts at the band stand form a
feature which attracts many. Old and
young, rich and poor alike mingle to-
gether on the plaza to enjoy the music
of the Ocean Park Marine band under
the leadership of Prof. s. d. Bryan.
The cozy cottages and bungalows,
which may everywhere be obtained
fully furnished, daintily decorated, well
lighted and filled with every comfort
known to modern housekeeping, tenpts
many college girls to keep bachelor
hall on occasions. Many such groups
of rollicking bachelor maids have jolly
times during season by the seaside.

To My Summer Girl
Sweetheart, the ocean loves you;

The wavelets tell each other
In ripping, murmuring word.
Each grain of sand would whisper,
If you were nigh to hear,
OF love and fond caresses
For you, my absent dear.
Honey. the whole world loves you
The earth and sea and sky;
The sea breeze softly sighs it.
And so, my own, do /.
Smaller Social Clubs
There are many smaller coteries of
social organization, wheels within
wheels, as it were, of social life. Among
the most active are the Thursday Af-
ternoon club, the Central Beach club,
the famous Shirtwaist club, the North
side club, which includes members in
Santa Monica as we'll as Ocean Park,
and the Quiet Dozen, which is a new
ly-organized neighborhood club. in
Guiding within it's members some of the
most prominent residents of the hill
section. A local organization, which
combines the social as well as a utili-
tartan object, is the Village Improve
ment society, of which Mrs. F. L.
Stearns is the newly-elected president.

conneotlout Farmer Finds His Well
still Choked With Ice

NEW HAVEN, CONN, July 2--The
people UP IN Coventry have been aston
ished to find at this date in the early
summer well in farmyard which is
still frozen to the depth of thirty feet.
Nothing like this has been known In
Connecticut In June in years.
SO "fshy" did this story seem that
Hartford reporter, exceptional for his
veraoity, personally looked the matter
up. He found that the we'll had not
been used recently and that when the
farmer on whose premises it was
thought he would like drink Of cold
water and tried to draw It, his bucket
struck hard substance. Getting into
the we'll, the farmer found that the top
Of the well was thick with ice, which
reached at least thirty feet in a solid
chunk to the bottom. The well has
performed unusual feats in keeping ice
in recent years, but nothing SO remark
able as this.

Introducing purum Wheat.

The following communication Is from
Prof. w. II. Olin of the Experiment
Station of the Agricultural College of
Colorado:
I'VE have just finished sending seed
durum wheat to farmers in the semi
arid sections of the state. This wheat
was sent in amounts varying from
twenty-five pounds to 100 pounds to
each farmer asking for same, as long
as the wheat lasted. This wheat was
not sent out free, as some papers have
stated. Where pure pedlgreed ku-
banka durum wheat could be obtained
the college paid the market price for
same, recleaned where necessary, re-
sacked, labeled and sent to the farmers
over the state.
ITO get this wheat to the farmers at
as reasonable a price as possible. the
college made no charge for its work,
sending the wheat at the original cost
price of same and the railroads of the
state transported this experimental
wheat, waiving freight charges on the
entire amount.
1.-The Colorado & Southern railroad
transported all of the wheat and from
the experiment station to Denver. The
Denver & Rio Grande railway and Col
.orado Midland carried 1t to the west
,ern slope farmers. while the Union Pa
,cific. Burlington, Rock Island Missouri
Pacific, Santa Fe, and Colorado 4
Southern railroads distributed the
wheat along the eastern slope of the
Rockies and out over the eastern
plains.
II feel that this state test of durum
wheat is made possible by this coop
Grafton of the Colorado railroads and
take pleasure in giving public acknowl-
.edgment of same.
II wish to thank these railroad Off
cials for this courtesy and the interest
they have shown in having this wheat
distributed, testing the possibilities of
our semi-arid lands"

"Peace Trust a Possibility

An English writer has turned his
eyes toward group of the enormously
rich men of this country and asks If
it would be possible for the wealth
and power they and others represent
to be welded together in the cause of
world peace. He says Would a
peace trust be possible under the ex-
listing conditions of social and politi-
cal life? A war trust is not an un-
known thing. since every great loan
promoted for the benefit of a fighting
nation is proof of capitalistic organi-
zation. The Rockefellers. Morgans
Vanderbilts and Carnegies of Ameri-
ca, together with countless men
whose absurd riches have been made
less ostentatiously, have not inherited
the tradition of making money for
the mere pleasure of the making; they
are likely to establish tradition for
themselves. They have ideas. and
would like to be numbered among the
immortals. The opportunity presents
itself; they could combine their infiu-
ence upon the worlds stock markets,
declare themselves the opponents of
any financial group that sought to
make war possible and in the moment
when the strength of their attitude
was recognized they would be hailed
as saviors of mankind.

Gears. kaisers, sultans and all Of
their kind" he continues, would take
their place in the tail of the new
comet; the men who raised the pres
ervation of peace to the level of the
selling of low-fash oil. the collection
of works of fine art valued chiefly for
their price, and the packing of pork
would send the echoes of their name
and fame reverberating down the
ages. Incidentally there would be
money in the business. The greater
demand for steel and corn and oil
would add to the existing wealth; the
general sense of security would en-

the millennium of which Edward Bel
lamy dreamed.
Finance started the present war in

er that makes or mars war Is money.
The people who WELD the power can
decide the fate of empires. Is it un-
reasonable to suppose that the time

The Fighting at Navarino

In the year 1927 the late British ad-
miral, Omanney, who died last year,
took part in the battle OF Navarino.
in which the English. French and Rus
sian ships entered the harbor of Ma
varino in Greece and annihilated the
Turkish and Egyptian vessels. which
were unable TO leave their moorings.
The battle lasted four hours. Admiral
Onanney tells this of Sir Edward
Codrington. the admiral in command:
His escapes from death were mar
velous. So that he might command
a good view of the battle he stood on
the poop of the Asia. the most ex-
posed part of the ship. He was talk
ing with the master when shot came
and killed the latter at his side. A
shot killed an officer of marines who
was on the quarterback Just below the
poop. The admiral left the poop only
once to go forward to talk to the
bontswain. and while talking to him
the boatswain also was killed at his
side.

which it made two holes. and another
bullet went through his loose coat

Even with the civil and self-imposed

The use of long. dragging skirts on

folly. 1t is worse. 1t is absolutely

Few Find Their Work"

The writer for the Worlds Work
who inquired of twenty clergymen if
they would choose the same occupa-
tion If they had their lives to live over,
need not have been surprised to find
nine who replied that they would not;
nor the investigator for Leslies
Monthly who asked eleven teachers a
similar question to find only one who
was willing to say yes. Such express
sions of disappointment can be got out
of men and women of any and every
vocation, says the New Bedford Stan
dard. The person who wishes he were
something else than what he actually
is can be found at almost any minute
of the day by any one who takes the
pains to inquire. Not much is proved
by it. except that, in the first place,
there are too many square pegs in
round holes, and that. in the second
place. there are more pegs for which
there are no appropriate holes than is
good for the community. We have no
question that the nine clergymen and
the ten teachers who wish they had
chosen some other manner of life were
not conspicuous successes in the occu-
pations they had selected, and it is
rather to be doubted If all of them
would have been successes in any of
the occupations which they wish they
had selected.

dream that he would have made a
great lawyer, or for a school teacher
