again gaining credence that Miss Mar.
gherita Drexel. the beautiful daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Anthony J. Drexel. is
adhering to her determine

nun.
Miss Drexers strong leaning toward
a religious life Is well known to her
intimate friends, but II Is also known
that Miss Drexel Is most deferential
to the wishes Of her parents, and these
wishes are that their daughter shall

Drexel may be absolutely honest In
her dislike Of "the crush, pretensions
and mockery" of society functions,

the editor Of The Tailor and Cutter,
dressed. The editor says:
His outfit was not a success. His
coat was too long and too heavy for
a cutaway and too short and skinny
for q frock. It was one Of the great

we have ever seen, giving the wearer
