Pensacola, October 2.-(Special. 1.-The Pensacola gulf to the lakes scout party, which left Pensacola September 3 to blaze out an automobile highway between the deep water city of the gulf and the me- tropois of the Great Lakes, has re- turned home after most successful trip, which ended in Chicago on September p.
 The net running time, with all stops out was "A hours and 34 minutes, and the distance covered was 1149 miles, making the rate 154 miles per hour. The entire distance was made without pune ture and without tire trouble of any kind.
 When that kind of record can be made over all kinds of roads it indicates some thing of the possibilities of this great gulf to the lakes highway.

One falls quite in love with the bride of MT. Charles Gilbert Gates, the son of the late John w. Gates, after reading such description as appeared in a fash ionable journal yesterday. In comment ing upon her wedding, which took place Wednesday. this description appeared, giving as vivid an impression of a fine. wholesome American girl as one could find, and as clear a belief in her beauty and charm as was borne out by the pho- tograph which accompanied it. She was Miss Florence Elizabeth Hopwood, and, according to the above mentioned notes, lis an attractive and beautiful blonde of 24 years. She carries her five feet with easy boise characteristic of good horse- woman and lover of out of door sports. She is slender graceful skater, a good bridge player, and withal a good church worker. Her vivaciousness, natural ways and charming frankness of manner have won for her many close friends. She graduated from the Central High school of Minneapolis, the city of her birth, en- tering Smith college the following fall While at Smith she was off campus the llfst TWO years ana on campus the last two years She was very popular at col lege belonged to the Glee club and was president of Wallace house her senior year, graduating with honors in June, 1910. She has a pure soprano voice and is member of the Ladies' Thursday mu- sical of Minneapolis. Miss Hopwood and MT. Gates first met at French Lick Springs last May. They soon became good friends, having many tastes in con- mon. Though 35 and slightly gray, MT. Gates is as enthusiastic as boy. He is ar athlete of stalwart build, golf en- thusiast, good whip and Q. crack shot. He carried on a brokerage business for ten years in Chicago and New York, re- tiring from active business in 1897 to take charge of his fathers vast interests. MT.

 "It seems to me-" said another woman. who is nearing the old maid stage, that if people must kiss, it is far better for them to do it calmly and judiciously. without witnesses"
 Which settled the question as far as that particular lady was concerned.

They are not bit demonstrative. In fact, I believe they would almost forget to kiss each other good-by if either was going away on a journey. I know they would if there were any people at the use a little common sense in such mat ters. and not embarrass their friends by such osculatory exhibitionsr'

At Bryn Mawr this fall much dissen- sion has arisen over the question of cross or side saddle riding In the horse show. It is not a case, indeed, of to ride or not to ride, that is a question, but whether ir is nobler in the side saddle and skirt of our mothers to suffer, or to take arms against sea of troubles and by oppos- ing, end them-and ride astrde with brooches just like fathers? The side sad dle has been chosen for feminine con testants by the directors, thus striking despair to the hearts of some of the most expert exhibitors to take part in the show. Commenting upon the difficulties to which the decision has given rise, journal yesterday had the following:
 To stride or not to stride has been the agitating question confronting the man agers of the Bryn Mawr Horse Show. Several of the older women who ride pre- fer the side saddle and have objected strenuously to the method of riding astride practiced by some of the younger women and girls They finally influenced the committee to issue a verdict against
 women riding astride at the show. This
 ruling affects Miss Kitty Penn Smith, who declares that she cannot ride on a side saddle. Miss Smith is the pretty younger daughter of MT. and Mrs. R. Penn Smith. Like her father, who has | judged at many shows and owned many famous horses, she is devoted to the | horse and is quite as well known at the shows as her sister, Mrs. Alexander Brown. Although Mrs. Victor Mather is | in favor of the decision, it will affect her young sister, Miss Gladys Earle, who always rides on the cross saddle. Another devotee of the cross saddle Is Miss Polly Page, the daughter of MT. and Mrs. Louis Rodman Page and a sister of Mrs. Casper Hacker. Mrs. Charles Randolph Snowden and Mrs. John R. Valentine,
 both splendid horsewomen, are in favor
 of the ruling. Already the country houses
 are filling with guests for the Bryn Mawr Horse Show the last week of Sep-
 tember Since the Wissahickon Horse Show has been given up the Bryn Mawr show is of primal importance amongst the lovers of the horse in the suburbs of Phil adelphia, one of the best hunting sections in the country.

And yet-and yet

And yet-and yet
 Sometimes it seems that people, and es- pecially married ones, are getting entirely
 too sensible and matter of fact, and that so many are taken up with the practical | things of life that they forget romance and affection and sentiment, and those | finer attributes which impart to life all I of it's flavor and sweetness. While as I said in the beginning of this little story, I don't believe in public ex- | hbitions of affection between husband
 and wife. I incline very largely to the sentiment expressed by the old gentle | man who had just buried his fourth wife,
 and who had his "weather eye" on
 No 5:
 Every marriage should be honey I moon."
 1 One of the sweetest couples I have ever known is a man and woman, now | nearing 60 year sof age. The father and
 mother are devoted to each other and adore their children, and they both kiss | them every morning and evening, as is the case with most parents. The father kisses his grown sons. and have heard
 him say that while it may look effeminate
 and all that sort of things, he has found
 that it makes his boys love him more, feel closer to him and makes them man.
 Her, and at the same time more gentle | and tender than they would be otherwise. "All of my children are married and have left me now" chanced to hear him
 say recently, except one, and he is no longer boy but a great, big, strapping
 man, and my right hand man in business
 and yet if that boy were to go to bed at
 night without kissing me and his mother
 goodnight I'd think that the world was cnp,fpu ta an and
