Correspondence of The Journal.
w ONDON. Dec. 7.--On her wild and
picturesque island kingdom of
AS Arran, in the Firth of Clyde,
Lady Mary Disqualification, the rich
est heircss in the United Kingdom, has
just celebrated her coming of age.
Arran, which is sixty miles in cir
conference and contains 5000 inhabi-
tants, all of whom are her tenants,
yields her in rents $4,000 a year. She
has another large estate in Suffolk, Eng
land, which brings her in $40 900 a
year. The two properties cover 100000
acres ard their combined rent rolls
amount to $l35,00O annually. From in
vestments held in trust for her she re-
ceives another $4,000 a year which
makes her annual income just $4,000
short of round 100000.
Nor is that the full measure Of her
wealth. Her father, the twelfth Duke
Of Hamilton, who died ten years ago,
left her big fortune in cash which,
during the nine years of her minority
has swelled to ST. 100000. And the good
fairies who presided at her birth added
other precious gifts. She is cookbook
Ing, blessed with vigorous health and
endowed with the temperament which
lends itself most to the enjoyment of
life in the fullest measure.
K X !.
Yet bounteous as is her inheritance,
the fates dealt somewhat harshly with
her when they decreed that she should
be d girl. Had she been a boy she
would now be two dukes, two earls,
three marquises and eight barons all
merged into one exalted individual;

tary Keeper Of the Palace of Holyrood,

WHEN THE sHoEHoRN Is LOST

You've seen the girl who is at tn
mercy of a shoehorn. If she has lost o
forgotten her own, she goes from roor
to room, seeking to beg, borrow or stea}
one, as if pair of slippers might no
actually be gotten on without shoe
horn.
But if you can't get shoehorn, us
a spoon. This is what college girls dc
and they find it just as convenient a
the article designed for the purpose.
Not teaspoon, but a tablespoon. Pu
the handle into the heel of the slippe
and use it just as you do shoehorn
When the shoe Is on, the spoon handl
really comes out easier than a shoehorn
Of course, this is merely substitute
but if there doesn It happen to be shoe
horn around it's handy to know abou
the useful spoon.

that the real histories Of the articles
were given by the owners.
The result was most amusing and
interesting evening. r..
Here is partial list of some Of the
curios at party given recently: A
piece Of hard tack from a survivor Of
a shipwreck, concerning which the
owner gave vivid account of the ac-
cident; scrap from a rebel battle flag;
candlestick from New Orleans antique
shop; paper bearing hieroglyphics
written by cannibal chief, who tagged
the ship on which the possessor was a
passenger; handkerchief once belong
ing to Marie Antoinette, and glove
once the property Of Adelina Patti.
Here is an entertainment the details
Of which are so old that they are really
the newest thing to be done. Invita-
tions were sent out to twenty intimate
friends asking them to come costumed
as children. The following couplet was
written at the top of each invitation:
q Backward, turn backward, o Time
in your flight,
Make me a child again just for TO-

such as "Where Is the Merry Party?'
'Nellie Gray etc. When supper was
announced the table and refreshments
were in keeping with the games. A doll
was the centerpiece, the favors were all

"boy" had a tiny basket of, oldfash-

stick Of peppermint candy which was
tied on the handle. A bib was at each
plate instead Of napkin, also a
"pusher' and "baby" spoon. Books
were placed on some OF the chairs to
make them high enough. Mush and milk
was served in blue bowls, with slices Of
toast, ginger cookies and doughnuts

the old war songs and have a bevy Of

CHANGES PROPOSED
IN GRIDIRON RULES

The intercOllege football rules COM
mittee will meet in May and probably
take final action on the changes in the
rules. There is g strong feeling in favor
Of increasing the distance to be gained
IN downs, and to weaken the defense
Many suggestions have been made by
and to members of the committee, and
considerab BILE argument is likely before
the changes are made.
Increasing the distance to be gained
will not in itself help matters any, with
the defensive side Of the game remain
ing so strong. A representative Of big
university on the committee has made
the suggestion that only five men be
allowed to remain on the line of defense.
This would mean that two line men, the
ends probably, would have to play
back on the defense as well as all of
the backs, and. it is plain. would make
end runs more frequent by placing re-
strictions on the players who have been
most active in spelling end runs. 1t was
further suggested that of those men
playing back of the line on the defense
none be allowed to be nearer than two
yards to the line.

MEDICAL FRESHMEN WON

A great deal Of class spirit and rivalry
was shown yesterday afternoon in the
first interclass track and field meet at
George Washington University Field. a
large crowd of university students and
a conspicuous delegation of fair ones
were present. and demonstrated their
approval Of the various events by loud
applause.
Capt w. C. Bryan, trainer of the
track team, is making a strong effort
to arouse q lot of interest in track ath-
letics at George Washington Univer-
sity, and it is quite likely that these
interclass meets Will be held often. The
fact that the Buff and Blue Is to be
represented at the great outdoor meet
o? the University of Pennsylvania, on
April %, did much toward bringing out
the large crowd yesterday afternoon,
and 1t is more than likely that Trainer
