Of Lady Of Mothers Suite.

Lisbon, Portugal, Sept. 24.-The news
papers assert that King Manuel is ar
ranging to contract a marriage with an
English princess.
This Is not the first time such n story
has been current. But the last rumor, set
afioat four months ago, was promptly
squelched by the young king himself, who
vowed that he would either marry the girl
he loves or nobody. His sweetheart Is the
daughter of q lady-in-waiting upon the
queen mother. OF course court circles
strongly disapprove q match unless there
IL strictly royal blood in the prospective
queens veins.
The succession to the throne was one
of the first things Queen Amelie under
took to look after when her younger son
became king last February through the
assassination of his father and elder
brother. That she Is a masterful woman
she has proved in many Ways, and 1t Is
not impossible that she has found a way
to bring the king around to her way OF
thinking about q suitable consort.
The marrlagenble English prlncesses are
King Edwards daughter, Princess Vie
toria, 40 years old; her granddaughter,
Princesses Alexandra OF Fife, II, and
Maud. 10; his nieces. Princess Patricia of
Connaught, %; Louise of Schleswig-Hol-
stein, 36, whose marriage with Prince AL
bert of Anholt was dissolved by joint re-
quest. and her sister, Victoria, 81. King

PROFESSOR SCORES
FAIR SEX AGAIN
Morality of Women, He Says,
Rather Expediency Than
Innate Virtue.

Chicago, Sept. 23.-Professor w. I.
Thomas. of the University of Chicago.
is likely to receive more of the sharp
criticism and censure which visited him
several months ago when his book Sex
and Society,"" appeared. His views OF
women, as expressed in thai book
aroused the indignation of many prom
inent women who declared his reputa-
ton as a sociologist did not prevent
him from being just to women.
In an October magazine, Professor
Thomas has an article entitled The
in which he handles the fair sex with
and cause of what generally are con-
sidered their foibles, Weaknesses and
Establishments.
AS for the morality OF nm the
professor considers 1t mere eXpedicncy
rather than an innate virtue.
Purity. consistency. reserve and de-
votion are qualities in a woman which
please and flatter the male" he says.
Morality in some women, he lntimates.
Is the effect of fear of losing the re-
spect of their acquaintance.
She behaves all right as long as she
is with her people n known by the
whole community" no avs but when
she becomes detached from her home
and Is no longer under surveillance, her
restraints are likely to be relaxed"
AS for marriage. the professor thinks
there is not much comradeship between
the average man and his wife. aside
from their interest in their children.

Men who are in a position to know saw
there will continue to be a good demand

The farmer who would raise horses with

but for the teaming interests of the coun-

Many horses are consigned to market
