while Mrs. Rice is greatly surprised
that she should be considered beautiful,
I must confess that should have been
surprised had she not been.
Combination Rarely Found.
she is truly beautiful; the beauty Of
her face being surpassed only by the
ma gnifcence Of her soul. So beautiful
a face. crowned with the simplicity and
Inconsistencies of a little child is a
combination rarely found IN woman.

from generations of Nirginians, she is
purely American. And. 10 my thinking.
the typical American type of beauty
She Is tall, graceful and perfectly form

Think MARINES
WERE WITHIN
THEIR RIGHTS
Ejectment From Library
Was Very Likely
Unjustified.

Corporal Richard 5. Frye, one of the
marines vino was elected from the Con-
gressional Library last Tuesday night,
has complied with the order Of the Sec
rotary Of The Navy. and written a com
pletc and detailed statement OF the cir
Cumstances under which he was COM
PEELED TO leave the Government building
az the instance of a Waterman This
statement, passing through the proper
channels. has reached Secretary Net
calf.
Private Robert c. Elliott. the other
marine who was elected. who had been
under orders 10 join the marine guard
Of the new battleship Kansas at League
Island, Philadelphia, left the city last
Thursday before the order Of Secretary
Afetcalf reached him. This has resulted
in a delay in the investigation Of the
case. as his report has not yet reached
the department.
Believe Waterman Wrong.
According 10 the information con
tanned IN Corporal Frye's statement. the
navy and marine officials believe that
the Waterman was totally wrong in
charging the men with flirting with
women. and If that was not the reason
why he elected them, as he himself has
explained, then 1t is claimed 1t must
have been because Of their uniform. IN
an endeavOr 10 throw more light on the
situation. from the watchmans point Of
view. the chief clerk Of the library has
taken the matter up personally with the
head Of the Navy Department
Corporal Frye's Explanation.
Corporal Frye in his statement. not
only declares that they were not flirting
with women, and gives a plausible ex-
PLANTATION 10 prove that he wasn't. but
he declares when ne explained his ac-
quaintance with the two women in
whose company he and Elliott were
previously seen. the Waterman replied
that their uniform Is too conspicuous,
anyway" and that they would better
leave. This they did, he affirms, quietly
and without further remark.
Waiting to Hear From Elliott.
TIE officials are inclined to believe
the statement of Corporal Frye, as cone
frmed by the two women. In the
meantime, they viii take no action till

and the case mas been thoroughly in
vesugated through other channels. The
navy and marine officials, chagrined
over the outcome Of the case Of the suit
Of yeOman OF the navy against an
amusement company at Newport, are
determined to reach a safe conclusion
as 20 whether the uniforms Of the ma
-ines were against them. If so, the
case Will be put up 10 the President,
who viii Re expected 20 order the dis
missaI of the library Waterman, in
