 On the 18th her aunt Mrs. Boylston A. Beal of Boston, gave dance for her. It was not very large affair, but certainly a most charming one, and took place ar the Chiffon club in Boston. Later both the debutante's grandmothers, Mrs. J. Pierpont Morgan and Mrs. Henry S. Grew, probably will do something for her. Then her aunts, Mrs. Herbert l.. Satterlee and Mrs. W. Pierson Hamilton, no doubt will entertain for Miss Morgan.

Odd SchooIs

From the University Correspondent.
 Freak schools were the subject re- gently of an article in a provincial paper, and we are confident that few of our readers will have heard of some of these very odd educational establishments. It appears that in Belgium before qualify ing for q post as sexton one must pass an examination in school of gravedig- gers, while in Paris there is a school for judges, where ma1e-believe trials are carried out in detail before lawyers of repute.
 Russia has school for policemen.

NaSturtium Is Voted
Most Popular Flower

Unofficial reports of the balloting to
choose the Flower of the National
Capital for 1922 indicate that the chill
dren of the public schools have selected
the nasturtium as the flower to be
planted this spring to make a "city
beautiful"
More than a month ago Miss Susan
B. Sipe, of Normal School No. l, con-
ceived the idea of having the Washing
ton school children choose a flower to
be planted which would add to the
beauty of the city and suburbs during
the spring and summer months.
A letter was sent to the principals
of the graded schools, and the 5000
children were given several common
flowers to select. The Chinese aster
poppy, nasturtium, scarlet sage. and
other simple, hardy Ilowers We're listed
and teachers were instructed to allow
the children to vote after explanations
had been made.
Returns have been coming in to Miss
Sipe for more than two weeks, and the
children have been almost unanimous
in choosing the nasturtium, 1t is under
stood.
Preparations to deliver seeds, with
instructions for early planting, will bt
sent out from the Department of Agri
culture. The children will plant the
seeds and attend 10 the proper care oI

been so planned that the public Of this

While the Presidents sojourn is to
be limited to only five hours, every
minute is to be utilized. In all, the
plans made comprehend stop or

La Toilette in Race
To Stay, Says Blaine,
Campaign Manager

CHICAGO, Feb. 1.-THE progressive
movement in Wisconsin represented by
Senator La Toilette will carry its in
fluence to the Republican national con-
Vention with a solid delegation. Senator
La Toilette will be, as he has been, its
aggressive and consistent standard bear
cr."
! This was the declaration made today
by John ]. Blaine, chairman of the La
Toilette Republican Club of Wisconsin
and campaign manager for La Toilette.
Blaine declares La Toilette will not re-
tire from the active contest for the
Presidency, and said that the thought
of retiring had never once entered the
Senator's mind. Regarding the future
of the La Toilette movement in other
States, Blaine said:
MY observation Is that in other
States the movement is not unlike that
in Wisconsin. 1t will manifest itself in
the national convention through a de-
termined effort to nominate Senator La
Toilette for President. This movement
will go on and on until the will of the
people is written in our laws and con-
stitutionS."

.ST|MSON TO STUMP
FOR TAFT TO PROVE
THAT He IS LOYAL
Secretary Will Deliver
Speeches in the Pre-Con-
vention Campaign.

Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson
will make two and perhaps three
speeches during the pre-convention
campaign. He has asked and been
given permission to go on the stump.
The Secretary is just now busily en-
gagged with the House and Senate Com
mittees on Military Affairs, and may
not get into the field for two or three
weeks, but he is preparing his speeches
now and will be ready when an op-
portunity comes to leave Washington.
This decision to 60 before the country
in defense of the Taft Administration
has been reached after repeated sug-
gestions that the Secretary was on
friendly terms with Roosevelt. so very
friendly, in fact, that his loyalty was
divided, and he now wants to DEM
onstrate to the country that his inter
est in the Taft Administration and cam
paign Is not wavering.

the 'allies" of four years ago-Penrose,
Crane, Scott, Fairbanks, Knox, and the
rest of the big business politiclans-are
now for Taft. They were against Taft
four years ago because they supposed
that he, being the protege of Roosevelt,
was not their kind.
The performances of four years have
shown them that both they and Roose-
welt were in error; Taft was their kind,
not Roosevelt's, and today they are all
for Taft. That is the explanation of
why Cannon and Mckinley, who four
years ago were among the irreconcilable
anti-Taft men, are now to become the
management of his campaign.
This situation has become so serious
that II Is causing much concern to many
public men, who, though, they never
openly aligned themselves against Can
non in the old rules fight, fear that the
denomination and reelection of Taft
would bring in Republican House. a
return to Cannon's rule as Speaker and

dent faces the gravest threat of a new
detection because he has chosen Can
mons political manager to be also his

Eloping Couple Come
Back to Get Married

Undismayed by their failure to get a
marriage license in Baltimore late last
night, and by a second failure at Rock
vile at 6 o'clock this morning, z.
Thomas Goldsmith, whose father is su-
perintendent of the National Museum,
and Miss Katherine NJ. Kell were at city
hall today when the marriage license
bureau opened, and thirty minutes later
were made man and wife by Justice
Bundy in his private office.
The marriage was in the nature Of an
elopement, although Goldsmith Is twen-
ty-four years old, and the bride gave
her age as eighteen. The parents Of
neither bride nor bridegroom knew any
thing Of their plans.
The sudden determination on the part
OF Goldsmith and Miss Kell to get mar
ried last night resulted in a trip to Bal
o'clock, but upon their arrival in that
city at such late hour the problem
of obtaining the necessary license was
an obstacle that could not be overcome.
So the couple returned on a midnight
train, determined to try again early this
morning.
Even before daylight the wedding
party, made up of the interested par
Ralph Perry. Maxwell Williams, and
Chauncey Williams, appeared in Rock
| Vile, only to discover they would have
to wait until o'clock before they would
| be able to get into the license bureau.
Lets go back to Washington and
get married there" suggested the
| prospective bridegroom, and the party
| came back to the city, went to City
| Hall and waited until the license
clerk opened his office for business.
Then they went to the office of JUS
tice Bundy and had the knot tied:
Early this afternoon, without telling
| their parents and after swearing their
| friends to secrecy, the couple left
| for New York, where a short honey
moon will be spent. after which they
