There are French dukes and Italian
counts and every now and then an Eng
lish lord several thousand pounds worse
than broke who come a wife hunting in
America, first looking up the eligible
offerings in Duns and Bradstreet's well
known social blue books
1t isn't SO often that a bachelor with
a title and more real money in his bank
book than a steel magnate can show
comes visiting in the States, and when
he does there is naturally considerable
speculation as to his intentions.
That's one reason why Sir Thomas
Lipton's swing around the country is
causing so much speculation in society
circles from coast TO coast not TO men
ton a few inland cities.
Not Barred From Marital Stakes.
And the mere detail that Sir Thomas
has passed the sixtieth lap on the giddy
whlrl of life doesn't bar him from the
matrimonial stakes. Even if he didn't
own a neat little tea business, title
and the most famous yachts on earth,
he would be considered some catch, for
doesn't he hob-nob with royalty and
entertain the very top of the pot in Eu-
rope?
And, besides that, he's just about as
fine and jolly a chap as anybody would
care to meet, as Atlanta has learned
since yesterday And a fair share of
Atlanta society has met him
or course. everybody is trying TO
marry off Sir Thomas. 1t is tribute
to the civic pride of Frisco, and Denver,
and Salt Lake and New Orleans, and
New York, and Boston that each of
them would like to furnish a Lady Lip
ton.
Lloyds Wager on Him.
Everywhere Sir Thomas went the ru-
NOR was sure to go that at last he had
come and seen and been conquered.
There was d debutante In San Fran
cisco and a society bud In Chicago and
there once was widow in Narragan-
sett, it is rumored-but anyway moth
ing ever came of the rumors.
They do say that Lloyds of London,
who will insure against anything from
twins In the family TO a mother-in-
laws visit, considers Sir Thomas bach
elorhOod q nine to- one bet and no limit
on the game When a man has gone 60
years without finding his way up the
middle aisle with the cello softly sob
bling "Oh, Promise Me-" he may fairly
be considered an immune.
But that doesn't hinder Sir Thomas
hosts from taking pride in presenting
the very choicest array of personal

CANAL MEET FOR
U.S.MERCHANT
MARINE
''Ship Subsidy" Term EIimi-
mated From Resolution as
Objectionable.

The Panama canal conference has
adjourned, but echoes Of merchant
marine" still remain. It was the desire
of the convention TO keep its maiden
session ii aa I-om politics and factions,
but vigorous support and as vigorous
opposition developed when the question
of moving American commerce through
the Panama canal was opened
An issue was forced at the afternoon
session yesterday when Samuel G.
Douglas, OF Nashville, introduced res
olutlon which lie had been trying to
introduce FOR 50 hours. This called for
a rehabilitation OF the American mer-
chant marine by congress. The resoiu-
ton was passed after it had been shorn
of the objectionable tenn ship sub
sidy''
Glass Objects so Move.
The Douglas resolution got rise"
out OF Frank y. Glass, editor of The
Birmingham News and The Montgom-
cry Advertiser, who declared that "the
Southern people as a whole are Opposed
to this resolution, and Southern con-
gress men will pay no attention TO it if it
is passed"
MI Glass remarks bought retort
from u, NJ. Stewart OF Chattanooga.

terests in the Tennessee city.
II fail to see the argument in Mr..
Glass statement" he asserted, 81
thought We came here to talk business
and not politics. and if I had known
was to get into q political convention I
should not have come"
John w. Pc, ch and NJ. 3. Trezevant,
of New Orleans; Leland Hume, of
Nashville, and 6. 3. Weatherly OF
Brunswick, spoke Tor the resolution.
President w. ". Finley, of the Southern
railway, opposed it ON the ground that
this was not the time nor the place for
marine he declared.
Railroads Oppose Marine.
The merchant marine question is a
widely discussed one throughout the
United States ana always leads to sharp
controversies. 1t generally is believed
that the railroads oppose it because the
extensive transportation Of commercial
products by water might cut seriously
into land transportation business. Low
er freight rates and better and more
varied routes are wanted, however, by
the advo Gates of a merchant marine.
One OF the delegates pointed out that
! the United States government owned 90
per cent of the merchantmen at the
| opening Of he Civil war, but that Adj
miral Semmes and others Of the Con-
federate navy destroyed so many ships
that the country never has fully recov-
cred.
England, Germany and other nations,
he declared, took advantage OF this
period of commercial depression to get
the business of this country, and have
held it since. He declared that there
were at present only nine freight-carry
ing ships sailing under the Federal flag

about steaks.
"The underlying principle which gov

the meat must be quickly scared, the
meat must be turned aud the other side
quickly scared This prevents the es-
care of any of the juices. Turn almost
for the first minute OF the
cooking. then the meat must be cooked
on one side, turned, and cooked on the
other to suit individual taste.
1.-The best cuts Of meat for broiling
are porterhouse, sirloin, cross-cut of
rump steak and second and third cuts
from top of round. Porterhouse and sir
loIn cuts. although commanding about
the same price per pound as the cross
cut Of the rump, prove most expensive
on account of the greater loss in bone
and fat Round steak Is very juicy, but,
having coarser fiber, Is never as tender.
Neither is the flank end Of porterhouse
very tender. For this reason 1t Is a good
plan 10 cut II off before cooking the

FOR SUMMER OUTINGS.
BY MAY MANTON

Blnzers or outing coats make exceeding
ingly smart thoroughly comfortable, and
altogether satisfactory wraps for warm
weather. This season they will be ex-
tensively worn made of satin, as well as
of the familiar wool, and they are
among the most fashionable garments
possible for outings and occasions of the
kind This one Is slightly cut away at
the front, which is one of the latest fea-
lures, and includes big patch pockets. 1t
is smart In the extreme yet very simple
and easy to make. In the illustration
it is worn over white linen skirt and
the skirt is made in six cores with il'
verted plaits at the sides. Such treat
ment is much liked just now aud has the
great advantage Of providing freedom for
walking while the slender and narrow
silhouette remains For tennis, golf and
occasions of the kind the high wasted
skirt is liked, for 1t avoids all danger or
parting and II altogether is satisfactory
where exercise is taken, but this skirt eau

natural line aud worn with a belt. and
both treatments are equally In vogue
College students like college stripes for
the blazers, but there are numberless
smart ones that do not have any special
connection Striped materials are the pre-
ferred ones, but this model Is excellent
for plain white serge and materials of the
kind. White serge with t0ifeta col

together satisfactory.

Fails to Keep His Engagements

Lear MISS DoOn
! have known a young man about Eve
months and like him very much, but
whenever he makes an engagement With
me he never keeps it. When he Is with
his male friends he plays little attention
to me, but II | speak TO anyone he gets
angry Please advise ME. l.. s,
lon are a very foolish girl to count
that young man among your friends; or,
in fact, to give him n second thought.
The right kind of man always keeps
his engagements unless something unfore-
seen happens to prevent and in such a
case he makes due explanation at the first
opportunity. These unforeseen obstacles
happen very, very seldom and when they
are explained to the satisfaction of the
party with whom the engagement-is made
should be excused by her.
The young man you write of seems TO
make engagements merely to create con-
versation. He is dlseourteous to you in
breaking an engagement and presump-
tuous in thinking that your regard for
him is such that you will permit him to
occupy any of your time after he has
been guilty of such serious breach of
etiquette. Secondly, at time when he
should show you every possible courtesy
to reveal to others his respect for You
he pays YOU little attention. This con-
firms my opinion that he is not worthy
OF your thought After such treatment
on his part he has no reason to be offend.
ed at anything You do.
The world is full of good men who
count the friendship of n woman as one
of their dearest possessions and who
treasure 1t highly instead of casting it
| aside and taking it up again at their
pleasure. From among this group choose
your friends, for q mans treatment of
women is a good indication OF his char
acter.
