a letter asking for an investigation OF
his department by the Senate. In his
letter the Attorney General said:
MY administration OF the office OF

your honorable body make a full in

inquiry be commenced and conducted

William Kass. the well-tailorei corr

spent a strenuous hour in the witness

denied that ne had ever been guilty of
misconduct with Mrs. RosensteIn. whose

of three tea parties-one at the Hotel

another In his room. at No. l57 West

where Inspector Brooks made the RAID
which led to the divorce acton.
Kass looked like the head model OF

DUKE VANISHES, MATCH
WITH MISS ELKINS MAY
BE DECLARED OFF
Continued from First Page

the regulations governing both foreign
rs and Americans now are precisely
Identical.
tnder the rule that so long was car
ed on the statute books In force IN
;ais city. any foreigner seeking to
marry here had to furnish a certificate
from the minister or other accredited
diplomatic representative showing tina;
the marriage would b. agreeable to
the laws of the Government which the
prospective groom or bride claimed as
home
Now all that Is necessary is to show
that the couple are not related. that
ae groom Is twenty-one or over and
the bride eighteen or over. and to state
whether either OF the parties has been
PREVIOUSLY married.
It IS learned quite definitely that the
Duke OF the Abruzzi expects TO return
10 this country in the near future.
ROME. March 2o.-King Victor EN-
manuel was in conversat ton to-day with
a member OF his encourage regarding
the reported engagement OF the Duke
o: the AoruZZi, his cousin TO Miss
Katherine Elkins. daughter Of Senator
Stephen b. Elkins. OF West Virginia,
bue lie neither confirmed nor denied the
current rumor that marriage is to
take place.
The Duke OF the Abruzzi IS at the
present time exchanging cipher cable
grams with the King.
\ significant fact has just come to
light here through some personal cor
r-spondence. The Italian Ambas sa dor
at Washington. Baron Mayor des
planches. writing from Florida a. the
beginning OF March TO a friend in
Italy said:
Il am here on special mission"
Shortly after this the Baroness Wrote
to friend mere and made use OF this
phrase:
Willy ntly. l have had to cone to
Florida"
As there Is no political reason why
the Italian Ambassador and the Am
bassador's wife should 20 - Florida,
Il Is argued that they were there in the
matter T.. the Dukes engagement.
The assertion that royal marriages
must take place in Italy before the
Premier ana the President of the SEN
a'- IS not exactly correct. This ay-
j. es to such marriages that occur IN
Italy bu, a royal marriage can be
celebrated abroad. For Instance. the
Duk OF Aosta was married at Kings.
.oa. Jamaica, and in such a case any
Italian cousu. can perform the ccre-
mony.

The Mother of An Inspirer

Under the above heading. Clarice A. Shardlow writes some very sensible ideas which will appeal to every mother She says:
 In the mysterious union that holds mother and child in such close sympathy that the vibrations of the soul of one are felt by the other, whether consciously recognized or not, the power of the mother as source of strength or weak ness to her child cannot be overesti- mated.
 Thoughts are unconsciously expressed in face, voice, words and attitude and even though unexpressed, are coming to be more and more considered as the en- lightenment of mankind increases, as a power in themselves.
 By just the strength of her fears for her child, the mother disables him for the combat, whatever the combat be- by just the strength of her hope for him, her faith in him, she strengthens him. The sensitive child, and he who lacks self confidence, is peculiarly susceptible to her encouragement or Encouragement It is q false modesty that leads woman to underValue her own offspring; disloy- atty to them, and a fatal mistake to give expression to such a sentiment. Above all should mother beware of acting as wet blanket to her child s impulses, ambitions and aspirations, fol such a course paralyzes the very springs of effort. Because he is hers, and she knows he can, he shall conquer all things. both within himself and with out
 The mother who holds this attitude, not vain-gloriously, but with loving wisdom and insight and a true humility, is an | abiding source of inspiration to her cb{Id

destruction to all who come in her path. Becky was the typical climber the women of her time who didn't know how to live on a limited income. But poor Becky! After all who knows but that her speculation about money was right?
 If one takes into consideration the temp tations that beset us, who is to say that he Is better than his neighbor? An al derman returning from a turtle feast, U says Thackery, Twill not step out of his carriage to steal a leg of mutton; but put him to starve and see if he will not per- loin a beef" Becky consoled herself by so balancing the chances and equalizing the distribution of good and evil in the world
 The German people afford perhaps the finest example of frugality combined with comfortable living than any other nation
 Dr. Arthur Hadwell says of the Ger mans that "only by taking into consid- eration their wonderful thriftiness and good management can one explain the paradox that with higher rent, lower wages, and longer hours the Germans maintain higher level of domestic com fort and physical ylgor, and their chil- dren are better cared for than our own.
 Today there are many worthy young men of moderate incomes who would gladly venture into matrimony's realms if they were only sure of the sensible, practical helpmate; the woman who looketh well to the ways of her house. hold and eateth not the bread of idle ness'; and above all, the woman who by her thriftiness, her cheeriness, and her willingness would assist in the humble engineering of a real home in every sense of the word.
