more feminine than his predecessors;
that is, he is more gentle, civilized;

more masculine, /. G., she is not only
more athletic in her tastes than her

New P.rt /, I. Aug. 26C7A GER
tain small section OF Newport voiced
its horror this morning, and the rest
expressed approval, when it became
known that the early disappearance
Of Prince Wilhelm, of Sweden, from
the dinner given by Mrs. Ogden Mills
last night was due to his democratic
instincts, which sent him to- the
dance given by the Swedes of this
city for the sailors on his cruiser, the
Fylgia.
Fully an hour before social form
and royal custom required his de-
parture, the prince rose and, accom-
panied by Baron de Lagercrantz,
the Swedish minister at Washington,
hurried to the dance hall. where he
entered into the fun with such zest
that. as the night advanced. Baron
de Laegercrantz was obliged to re-
mind him of his royal dignity.
Dances With Half the Girls.
When the floor was cleared for
dancing his highness watched until
he could keep quiet no longer. Jump
ing down on the floor, he placed his
royal arm around the trim waist OF
Miss Gerda Swenson and Joined the
dancers. After that the prince
danced with half the girls in the
room.

"Thc Mercy of Coming
Events"

We must all wonder, for a
moment now and then. what
strange new brew" is being
prepared for us by the busy
forces which we name "Cir-
cumstances."
In the home life the exit of
a servant; in the store, some
thing happens" TO our best
clerks; in every business ven-
ture something "upsets" our
fayorite plan. II we own prop
erty, our best tenant leaves.
or our neighbor sells his prop
erty at a big proht-while
we hold on" to ours, not
Willingly.
Emerson expressed IL:
"Man imprisoned in mortal
life, lies open to the mercy Of
coming events"
And the truth has led us
10 consider ways and means
for taking the sting out Of"
these coming events - for
turning them into endurable
burdens. And of these ways
and means which we have
created. the chiefest Is Want
Advertising. A wise use of
this modern convenience, this
Instrument OF service, Not
only makes coming events
merciful-it makes us 10 con-
template them without trepi-
daticn.
