DAYSE MAYME AND HER
FOLKS

Y 7 would appear to those who have
noted the great number and vari-
ETY. of women's clubs that Wom-
an can have no longing that will
not find society organized for the
express purpose of its qualification
If she aspires to project her spirit
ual insight into the occult or to squelch
that worm of the dust called Man, or
to get bacon at cheaper prices. she
has only to join club. and such a de-
sired end, if not attained, is at least
set in motion.
But that every longing is not met
is proven through the organization by
Daysey Mayme Appleton of a society
for which the heart of every woman
has unconsciously yearned. And the
greater the number of her friends. the
greater her yearning.
Daysey Mayme had had the parlors
of her home made hideous by the
gifts of loving friends for years, but
not until she received a water color
of a yellow lamb on a cerise field with
a purple shepherdess did she decide
TO rebel. The result of that rebellion
was the recent launching of a club
called The Secret Society of Break
ers.
No woman need admit she belongs
to such a society. Such an admission
would cause the estrangement of gen
erous friends and result in charges of
lack of appreciation of their gifts.
The members" explained Daysey
Mayme, ARE known TO be and report
to me for assignment, and our method
of procedure is this:
A woman receives a fish platter on
which is painted Jonah inside the
whale or sCme other appetizing ma
rine scene, and the donor expects it
TO be placed on the plate rail of the
dining room.
The recipient appeals to me, and ]

In view of the statement frequently

ed. A report of the secretary
and treasurer will be made.
1t is encouraging to learn that
the expenses of the past fair
have nearly all been paid and
that all premiums awarded are
being mailed out.
1t is being generally discussed
that the site of the fair grounds
should be changed to East Co
lumbuS on the car line, and 1t has
been suggested that the grounds
used fors the state encampment
would make a good site. The
property now owned by the fair
association is very valuable and
might be sold for building lots
and other purposes. tits claimed
that if the fair grounds were 10
Gated on the car line, making it
more accessible, the business
men would take more interest
and do more to make the fair a
success. There arr many argu-
ments for and against the change
which will be discussed Monday

Stands Firmly Behind Presi-
dent in Effort to Force Re-
tirement OF Huerta.
NO STEP HAS BEEN TAKEN
Influences are at Work and May
Force the Early Collapse Of
the Huerta Regime.

Washington. Nov. IL Presi-
dent Wilson'S cabinet stands
firm behind him il his efforts
to force the retirsm Mt of Pro-
visional President iIuerta as a
necessary step to the pacifcation
Of Mexico.
For more than two hours today
the cabinet discussed every phas
of the Mexican situation, and the
consensus of opinion was that
the United States government
should not take a single back
ward step in its announced pro-
gram looking to the restoration
Of constitutional government IN
the southern republic.
Though cabinet members were
reticent about expressing their
views, it became known that all
favored steps which would con-
Iuince Huerta that the United
States was in earnest in its de-
mand that he eliminate himself
from the situation. On the ques-
ton of raising the embargo OH
arms, the cabinet members ex-
pressed various opinions. Some
Of them recognized in this meth
Cd a practical and perhaps early
solution OF the difficulty. but
there was no final decision on the
point
There is a hope on the part Of
both the president and Secretary
Bryan that a measure so radical
as permitting expectation of
arms may not be required to
solve the problem. Influences
are at work, which. in the opin-
ion Of many officials, may force
the early collapse Of the lIuerta
regime. There is a closer under.
standing, for instance, and more
frequent communication b e.
/ tween the State Department here
|and foreign governments gener-
|ally than has been in evidence at
/ amy time since the Mexican prob-
lem became so widely information.

Beloved Rector of St. Paul's
Episcopal Church Decides
to Leave Columbus.
ACCEPTS NASHVILLE CALL
Resignation was Submitted to
Vestry Monday, and Takes Ef-
feet December 1st.

Rev. w. E. Dakin, the beloved
rector of st. Pauls Episcopal
church, has accepted a call to
the pulpit of the Church of the
Advent in Nashville, Tenn, and
has rendered his resignation as
rector of the local church. The
resignation was handed last Mon
day to Mr.. r. E. Johnston, secre-
tary of the board of vestrymen.
The date at which the resig-
nation takes effect is not stated
therein, but Mr.. Dakin informed
a Commercial reporter that he
expected to make his arrange
ments to leave Columbus about
the first of December.
This is the second time within
a year that Mr.. Dakin has ten
dered his resignation as rector of
st. Pauls church. He resigned
last summer in order to accept a
call to a church in Columbia.
Tenn, but at the earnest Solici-
tation of his Pensioners recon-
sidered the matter and decided
to remain in Columbus.
Mr.. Dakin is not only the old
est minister in point of service
in Columbus but is decidedly one
of the best liked and most highly
esteemed, being l,opular not only
among his congregation but
among the public aeneralIy. He
clme to ColumbusAp July lst,
1905, and has the aefcre been
rector of st. Paul's church for
more than eight years. He has
not only served his congregation
faithfully and well, but has man
ifested a great deal of interest
in general charitable work and
has taken prominent part in
every movement having as its
object the moral uplift of the
community.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Dakin num-
Der their friends by their ac-
quaintances, and their contem-
plated departure is a source of
universal regret throughout the
0ity.
