GIRL IN RED
PROVES SHOCK
To BAPT|STS

Philadelphia, Nov. 19.-"Like ruby
wine you've turned my head. dear girl
in red"
These innocent words were too much
for the Baptist Publication Society and
have caused a controversy between the
society and Mrs John c. Temple. a
fashionable Philadelphia writer OF
verse.
Mrs Temple designed a calendar with
a picture Of a girl i'm a crimson gown
and an original poem about her. Tho
poem, of amatorY nature, daintily
praised the girl in red" and among
the phrases was included the one
quoted above.
The BAPTIST Publication society or
dered a couple of hundred copies OF the
calendar. but when an eagle-eyed fe-
male clerk saw the fatal words COM
pairing tho charms OF the girl with
wine the order was promptly counter
manded.
Mrs. Temple is undecided whether to
sue for breach OF contract
