DOUBT STORY OF
FEMININE SMOKER
At WHITE HOUSE
Officials Say They Did Not
See Fair One Puff
Cigarette.

If any fair feminine guest, Viennese
or any other nationality. smoked a
cigarette at the White House gar
den party and reception for the Wis
lting engineers, neither Secretary
Nagel, who received the guests, nor
Col. Spencer r. Cosby, who introduced
them to the Presidents representa-
tive, saw or heard of 1t until the
story was printed.
Secretary Nagel laughed when his
attention was called to the story to-
day.
Il saw no fair smoker" said the
head of the Department Of Commerce
and Labor. "and I had not heard about
1t. If it did happen tMr. Naxel spoke
as If he very much doubted that 1t
did) and I had observed 1t I scarcely
think 1 would have felt myself call
ed upon to take any action in the
matter
Had not heard of it," said Colonel
Cosby, 'and / should not have done
anything If had seen any of the
women guests smoking. If any of then
really did"
A number of the women members
of diplomatic families. resident in the
an occasional puff at cigarettes. but
none of them has ever been observed
to smoke at anything like an official
social affair, although at private en-
tertainments some of the feminine
members of the diplomatic circle
smoke as unconcernedly as they woult
at home in Europe. Among American
women and girls smoking Is said tc
be on the wane. Not nearly so many
are now devotees of the cigarette.

MARY HUME ALLEN
REPUD|ATES CLAIM
OF CLOTHES STORE
Insists She Was Infant"
and Articles Mentioned
Were Unnecessary.

Repudiating the claim of a store here
which recently sued her for $569.44 for
wee ring apparel alleged to have been
purchased within two months last sum
mer, Mrs. Mary Graham Hume Collins
Allen, the reputed heiress, recently ar
rested on a charge of obtaining van
ity set worth $16 through larceny by
trick" will fight the suit on the con-
tention that the articles in question
were not "necessaries.'
The claim is also made by the young
woman that she was an infant" in the
eyes Of the law when the merchandise.
was purchased, and, therefore, she Is
not bound to pay.
A motion to have the court auash an
attachment against $3.50 worth of securi-
ties held by the Union Trust Company
was set for argument before Justice
Stafford in the District Supreme Court
today. but 1t was continued until the
first Friday in October.
The answer of Mrs. Allen to the
plaintiffs allegations sets forth that the
proprietors of the store, encouraged
end consented to the extravagant and
wasteful dealings" Within two months
she Is alleged to have purchased four
pairs of gloves, twenty-one pairs OF SILK
hose, ten dresses, and numerous other
articles of wearing apparel.
1t is also urged that the articles
were not necessaries for which she can
be bound and being now of full age, she
repudiates the claim.' Strict proof of
the necessity of each article is demand
ed.
Mrs. Allen informs the court in her
answer that when she became of age
on August 10 last, she executed a deed
in trust in favor of Capt. John Doyle
Carmody, one of her counsel, convey
ing in trust to him a legacy approx
mating $500. left to her by her father,
for the sole purpose of settling just
claims against her. She denies that the
action was for the purpose of defraud-
ing her creditors.
The attachment obtained by Attorney
Alvin L. Newmyer was against $3.50
worth of securities included in the le-
Gacy in question.
Mrs. Aliens recent arrest was on COM
plant of Milton Baer, a Georgetown
ieweler, who charged that she obtained
the vanity set from his store on the
pretext OF wanting to show 1t to a
friend and subsequently refused to pay
for it. Mrs. Allen forfeited a bond of
S. in Police Court on August 30 and pros
ecution OF the case ended.

In the battle the Britons were conclu-
sively whipped by the American sea-
men. Fifteen flags came down, and only
f1atboats escaped from the rakins,

Commodore Downey. the British com
mander. fell dead when shrapnel
whisked over his shoulder. 1t was one
Of the bloodiest naval battles ever
