Maria Whitenack yesterday re-
~eived friends In East Milestone, N.
j., to celebrate the Tooth anniver-
sary Of her birth. Her advanced

Wears No
Corset;k
Stronger

Another beautiful woman has
started a war on the corset.
This time it Is Adele Richie, the
actress. Miss Richie declares that
she has preserved the wonderful
girlish lines of her figure by refus
ing to bind herself into stays. Here
are her remarks anent the sub
ject:
"The idea of binding the figure
with tight-fitting corsets and other
bonds Is all wrong says Miss
Richie. These silly methods
weaken the parts held, and really
ruin rather than improve the fig
ure. Loose-fitting clothes lend a
charm that closely fitting clothes
can never give.
Even an awkward woman looks
we'll in flowing robes. have never
felt so well in my life as I have
since l have discarded all conven
tional clothes. l feel more like a
young girl every day. sleep well
and long. eat heartily. and no

Asof loved his pony Selim very
dearly. He used to whisper in his
ear that when he grew to be a man
he would buy him string of the
loveliest pearls to hang around his
neck and feed him on rose sugar
drops. One day Asof's uncle came
to see Asof and brought him a box
of sweetmeats of most beautiful
colors and shapes. rs In all.
Have good time with these
candies" said he. He knew his
little nephew had a sweet tooth.
and the sugar rosies, violets and
lilies were made Of the purest
creamed sugar.
Asof nodded his head.
81 will have the best of times"
said he. Il will eat five candies
myself and feed the rest to Selim."
ITO Selim!" echoed his uncle.
Eyes, to Selim!" merrily laugh
ed Asof, and off he scampered to
have a good time with his pony.

NEW YORK. Oct. 20.--It isn't
true that Nine. Bernhard is be-
ginning to show her years-they
will number So October 22-or at
least she didn't when she tripped
down the liners gangway intent
upon giving America one more
farewell tour.
I'm still so excited about being
great-grandmother," she said. ITO
think that thht little mite of hui
manity Is really the child of my
sons daughter. But l don't feel
at all like a great-grandmother, nor
a grandmother, either. Much more
like schoolgirl.
YES" she told the newspaper
men, this will be positively my
last visit to your dear country"
Then-maybe because she wasn't
so positive about it after all-her
press agent added But madam
SO loves America = at she may
be persuaded to come again-not
to act, of course" and somebody
smiled.
How do 1 do it," said the "di-
vine" Sarah, when her youthful ap-
pearance was brought to the by
ISLANDERS notice by a casual re-
mark by the p. A. Well, really,
don't know. Probably it is because
l am always working. l go in for
no diet. l don't do what the doc
tor says I should do, and sleep
a great deal. I sleep late in the
morning."
Nine. Bernhard will play while
in America under the management
of the theatrical syndicate, and will
open in Chicago October 81. after

 RECEPTION
Final Details Completed For Former Presidents Welcome

Special from United Press.)

Especial from United Press.)
 New York, June 16.-Final details for the reception of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt on his return from his African hunting trip, on Saturday, were completed today. Everything is to move according to program. So will be no delay anywhere that they have notified the Long Island Railroad that the private car that is to be used by Colonel Roosevelt and his in1me- diate family in making the trip to Oyster Bay shall be attached to the train leaving Long Island City at 4 p. m. This will permit the former President to have his first dinner on American soil after his long absence, in his own home on Sagamore Hill.
 The train taking the Colonel home will be a special run as the first sec tion of the regular express. It has Roosevelt Reception committee, (Roosevelt's neighbors), the organiza- tion that escorted him from Washing ton following the installation of Pres ident Taft as the Colonel's successor in the White House.
 The naval parade up the bay from the Kaiserin Auguste Victoria and the welcoming addresses in Battery Park where Mayor Gaynor will welcome Colonel Roosevelt back home and the latter will make response, are to cancelled by 12:30. Mayor Gaynor stated today that he will not consume more than five minutes in greeting the former President and wireless des- patches from the vessel quote the Col onel as saying he will have "only a few words to say"

He Could Wield an AK.

The skill of the old Maine shipbuild- CTS in the use of the adz and broadax was wonderful. One old time yarn is of carpenter who applied very drunk at shipyard for employment. In or der to have a little fun with him the foreman set him to give proof of his skill by hewing out a wooden bolt with no chopping block but stone. The carpenter accomplished his difficult task without marring the keen edge of the broadax and showed the foreman a neatly made bolt. Then he brought the ax down with terrific blow that shattered its edge upon the stone. "I can hew fust rate on your chopping block" he hiecoughed, "but I'll be blamed if I can make the ax stick in it when git through" The story runs that the foreman lost no time in em- ploying such workman.
