Young Congressman's Dates Were Mixed

A STRANGER entered the Office of

of youngest congressman records by
landing In the lower house last spring
at the age of twenty-eight.
He INTRODUCED himself and then be-

Reyburn.

the visitor. that is. when you got to
be nine or ten years OF age, which OF

At first the mans talk had been
merely funny, but now it looked seri-
GUS and Reyburn became nervous.
There was no telling at what moment
the visitor might become violent.

front door because somebody had

How Adee Turned the Joke on Himself

A SSISTANT Secretary Of State AL
~ vey A. Adee is one of the men in
the government service who are said
to be indispensable. He is a walking
encyclopedia on matters diplomatic
and can handle the most intricate af-
fair of state with the confidence born
of long and faithful service. His
predecessor in his line of work held
office for more than generation and
was such public official as Mr. Adee.
One of Mr.. Adees chief character
istics is his tremendous fund of good
nature and stories concerning His Off
cial actions never grow old. One of
the best stories told of him was joke
on the secretary himself which he
never relished, although his intimate
friends say he has privately admitted
the humor Of the situation.
When Mr.. Adee gets down to seri-
Gus work he does not like to be inter-
rupted and at one stage in his official
service he found Interruptions so nu-
merous he hit upon the scheme of
putting special lock upon the door
of his Office, the working of which he
himself could control One day he
dismissed his secretary and messen-
ger, carefully locked the door and got
down. to business.
In the course of the morning he
wanted his messenger and rang the
usual bell to call him. The messenger

PAPER Bottles.

The latest big monopoly is said to
be a trust which has obtained control
of every machine devised for the man
ufacture of paper bottles and other
containers for foodstuffs and liquids.
The new package or bottle will be
made so that 1t will be destroyed when
opened and must be thrown away and
new one purchased with every pack
age OF food or liquid. This means
that bottles for milk, vinegar and all
liquids and packages for butter. oys-
ters, mincemeat and everything else
can be used only once. This will
greatly increase the cost OF living.

FORTUNES MADE IN SEAWEED
icine, Furniture, Fertilizer and
Many Other Articles.

Seaweed is rapidly establishing a
claim as the greatest friend Of man,
and many new uses are being discoy-
cred for it in foreign countries.
Ii the experience of the Japanese
aud the jewellers on the western shores
of Norway, Scotland and Ireland is to
be accepted, there ara huge fortunes
anese. including the Formosans, en-
plcy some 100000 persons in the sea-
weed industries. These are mainly
engaged in preparing edible products.
China alone consumes 100000 worth
OF the gelatinous articles every year.
The edible seaweeds of Great Brit
ain and Ireland are advancing in pop
ularity even among London epicures.
Served with roast meats they are
said TO DE extremely 1alatable.
The London industry which employs
Devonshire and Japanese seaweed in
the manufacture of such diverse OBJ
jects as cloth, stout shoes. golf balls.
policemen's boots, picture frames.
marbled floors and electric switch
boards, by no means monopolizes its
uses. In Cornwall seaweed is used as
a fertilizer for the land. in France it
finds utility as a stiffener for mat
tresses and size for straw hats. The
native fishermen OF South Australia
make ropes and fishing nets from local
varieties.
Iodine, chemical of great medicinal
value, claims seaweed as its principal
source. The production of 'kelp.' or
burned seaweed, which is the first
stage in its preparation. is an industry
that is rapidly developing in north
western Europe. The hardy kelp
burners of the Hebrides and Irish
coast have now strong rivals in Scandi-
navia, and in one Norwegian province
at least the revenue from this work
already exceeds that derived from fish
ing and agriculture
In America it has been found to be
a valuable source of potash. greatly
needed as a fertilizer.

Wives of Titled EngIishmen.
Three American chorus girls have
married titled Englishmen. and so far
their marriages have been very happy.
Lady Ashburton, who was formerly
Frances Belmont. one of the pretty
maidens in ''Florodora," is now on a
visit here. Eva Darlington, who was
in 1.-The Chinese Honeymoon" is the
Baroness de Clifford, And the mar
rirge of Camille Clifford who was in
the chorus of THE Prince OF Pilsen, .
to the Hon. Henry Lyndhurst Bruce,
son of Lord Aberdeen, is still fresh in
the minds of most newspaper readers.
Here In America there aave been
severa3 unhappy marriages of million
aires and chorus girls. The marriages
of Felix Isman, the Philadelphia and
New York real estate man, and Irene
F'rizelle, chorus girl at Weber &
Fields, and Roy Pierce, the son of
Henry Clay Pierce, and Bessie Chap
man are perhaps the most gIaring ex-
amples. Both ended with divorces.
Many Happy Marriages.
However. many millionaires have
married chorus girls here in America
and have shown every sign OF happi-
ness. Jesse Lewisohn, elder brother
of Oscar. is married to Edna McCau-
ley, who used to be in the front row
at Weber C Fields. Virginia Marshall
OF the Ziegfeld companies is the wife
of Schuyler v C. Hamilton, who is
credited with being possessed of a
million or more.
Eleanor Pendleton, another OF Zieg-

chorus girl, is the wife of Harry Nj.

aire Columbus business man.
Grace la Rue, the musical comedy
star, was chorus girl when she mar
ried Byron Chandler, who comes from
a very wealthy family. Pauline Fred

Yorker. Frank Andrews.

THE reason why marriages of rich
men and women of the stage are, &C.
casionaily unhappy is their unwilling
ness to live simply. They have every

Country Life Only Solution.
Life in the country, with occasion
al excursions In the gayeties of the
city, is the only solution. Only by liv-
ing simple outdoor life can woman
retain her youth and vivacsty. Only
by such life can the rich husband or
q stage favorite be kept happy.

must be real love on both sides sim

REW YORK-It is not half so
ENA surprising that SO many chorus
girls Isl marry millionaires as it
main happily married.
Why is it that chorus girls
make good millionairesses?
The question was put to Edna May
of Belle of New York fame, who is
now Mrs. Oscar Lewisohn.
Her married life has been ideally
happy-of which she is far more
proud than her success on the musical
comedy stage. Before she made her
great success as the Salvation Army
lassfe in THE Belle of New York she
was an obscure chorus girl, and her
husband is member of the rich Lew
isohn family OF bankers, with several
million dollars in his own right.
In these days of quick marriage
and quicker divorce OF rich men and
women of the stage it is difficult to
lay down any rules or recipe for their
marital happiness" said Mrs Lew
1sohn when interviewed at the ST.
Regis during her recent visit here
But ] am sure IL couples lived as Mr.
Lewisohn and / live there wouldn't be
any unhappy marriages. We live

something to lean up against, and in

In Germany wages are lower, but
the condition of the workman is
much better than that of the average
British workman. It is because the
British workman is so intent on run
ming his employers business that he
neglects his own affairs. Which re-
