MARGARETTA DRExEL.
Society Girl Who Adorns Her Boudoir
With Marriage Proposals.

TTOPoSdiSs
Framing the written proposals Of
marriage from ones admirers and US
ing them as ornaments for ones bou-
doir is the latest fad among the young
buds of British society.
Originated by an American girl, the
idea has taken strong hold, and it has
England's titled gallants by the ears,
for many of these fortune seeking no.
blemen have obeyed literally the old
time motto. "If at first you don't sue
coed, try, try, try again"
Margaretta Drexel, the beautiful
young daughter Of Anthony ]. Drexel
and wife Of New York, who has amaz-
ed English society by going heart
whole through two London seasons,
waited upon by a virtual train Of cour-
tiers, started the Tad. A score or more
such proposals decorate her bedroom
walls.
And the amusing part of it all Is that
a comparison Of notes as result Of
the new idea shows that some Of the
peers have been working overtime In
their effosts to capture some one of
the many debutantes well endowed
with this worlds goods.
Miss Drexel's career in London so
ciety has been brilliant enough to sat
isfy the utmost desires of the most
ambitious. Both the king and the
queen commented upon her loneliness
when she was presented at Bucking-
ham palace two years ago, and ever
since she has had peers of every de-
gree constantly in her train Of ad-
mirers. Scarcely q week passes that
rumor does not have her engaged to
this or that one. The latest victim is
Lord Dalmeny, heir to the earldom of
Rosebery.
No picture gives an adequate idea of
the young girls loneliness because of
its ever varying expression. Her col
oring, one of her great charms. is lost
in photograph. 1t has been the
dream Of Shannon and Sargent to
paint her, but the willful beauty has
not yet found time for the sittings.
Her charm Of manner tells more
than her actual beauty. In a room you
will see her surrounded by a dozen or
more men, while other girls of her age
will be talking to each other. Yet no
one accuses her OF being a flirt. She
never tries to outrival her sex, and for
all her success she is extremely popu-
lar
She is much Of an idealist, and 1t
would not be surprising If in the end
she made a romantic marriage. So de-
voted to her are her parents that they
would hardly make objection to her
choice IL It entafled her happiness.

1t is announced that President
Roosevelt will leave the tariff for his
successor to deal with and will make
no recommendations on that subject
in his message to congress next
month. 1t is expected that, upon call
of President Taft, the sixty-first con-
gress will assemble in extra session
about the middle of next March, and
1t is hoped to pass a tariff bill and
adjourn by the middle of June
Whether this hope will be realized
is altogether problematical. 1t is GO
ing to be a big job, no matter how
conservatively the task may be ap-
preached. In his assertion that the
tariff was a local issue Gen. Hancock
will be indicated this winter, probab-
ly. as he never was before. Every
body is going to be for tariff revision,
per Sc. but no one who enjoys the
benefits of protection is going to want
his particular schedule disturbed.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1908-11-15

But in the coming tariff revision
there is going to be a new force to
reckon with. In the past when the
republicans built a tariff law it has
been the producer and the need of
protecting him that has been kept in
mind. In the forthcoming revision
the consumer is going to loom up as
entitled to consideration.
Economists agree that one of the
greatest needs of this country is a
cheaper breakfast table. Desirable as
are high wages, when the cost of liv-
ing increases faster than the wage
the wage-earner does not gain. Now
that the next national election is two
years removed, the subject can be
viewed impartially without trodding
on anybody's political toes; and the
job of passing a satisfactory tariff bill
doesn't appear bit easier as the time
for its undertaking draws nearer. Re
publicans admit that the party is to
be on trial this winter. The country
has entrusted them again with the
duty of framing a tariff law, and they
realize that unless they make a salts
factory job of it things will go hard
with them in the congressional cleo
tons of 1910.

keepinu Faith With the cubans.

The world has seldom witnessed any
thing finer in history than the rela-
lions of the United States with Cuba,
and some of our ablest statesmen urge
us to continue our faith with them by
withdrawing from the island at the
appointed time and allowing them to
establish a government of their own.
Seldom, if ever, has the record OF
cures made by the famous Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters beep equaled during
it's 81 years experience. 1t has kept
faith with the public by proving all
the claims made for it, and if you have
never tried it, do SO today. It cures

CANNOT PUT THE
BUILDING ON SHORE
Objection of One Property Owner
Makes Necessary Change in
the Boat Club Plans.

The Island City Boating association
will not be able to establish its club
house on the shore at the harbor at
the foot of Twelfth street, but will be
required to resort to a floating struc-
ture. The managers of the associa-
ton yesterday interviewed the proper
ty owners to ascertain if there would
be any objection to the building of a
honse onS the shore. There was but
one property owner who offered an
objection. but this one objection is
an effectqal block to the clubs plans,
and the club house can not be built
as originally planned The property
owners in chat part of the city have
unusual riparian rights, and the club
is maintaining it's harbor only through
their courtesy. 1t was thought that
such am attractive building as the one
the club proposed to erect would not be
objected to, and that in fact it would
add to the appearance of the shore at
that point
