The ambulances OF the Red Cross So

being gathered by the city's street

Washington, Feb. lI.-President
Taft's reply to President Madero's APP
peal to withhold American interven-
ton in Mexico. sent by telegraph, was
made public by Secretary Knox to-day.
1t is as follows:
From your excellency's telegram.
which reached me the Nth, it APP
pears that your excellency was some
what misinformed as TO the policy
OF the United States toward Mexico,
which has been uniform for two
years, or as to the naval or other
measures thus far taken, which are
measures Of natural precaution. The
ambassador telegraphed that when
you we're good enough to show him
your telegram to me he pointed out
this fact. Your excellcncy must.
therefore. be aware that the reports
which appear to have reached lou
that orders have already been given
10 land forces were inaccurate. The
ambassador who is fully informed, is
nevertheless again instructed to az
ford you any desrab BILE Information.

Homes to Relieve Successor.

President Taft IS plainly worried by
the fact that. although he has only
fifteen more days 10 serve in the
White House. the situation In Mexico
shows little signs Of becoming less
Troublesome. Tho President has no
desire to leave FOR Mr.. Wilson the set
Element of this country's relations With
Mexico. but ne is decidedly opposed 10
taking any measures himself unless
extreme provocation and wholesale
murder OF Americans drive him TO II.
The President told friends to-day that
he realized what difficult thing IL
would be- for "A new administration TO
gather up the reins Of government and
understand the conditions in the south
,rn republic in a few weeks or few
months. He believes IL would take at
least six months for Mr.. Wilson and
his Cabinet to grasp details oil dipio-
matte negotiations. of troop and battle
ship movements. and Of international
niceties that he and his Cabinet nave
acquired in two years close study OF
a condition that never has ceased 10
confront them.
Mr.. Taft has informed his advisers
that he will be President until Mr.. Will
son takes the oath OF office. and that
il intervention should be demanded by
Congress on his last day in office he
would not hesitate to concur But he
hopes that he will not have to act and
then move into the background, leav-
INK a new President and inexperienced
administration TO struggle with the

Night sessions of the Cabinet to con-
slider late developments from Mexico

Several members of the Cabinet sug
gested to-day that these meetings
might be misunderstood and their sig
nificance magnitied. The Cabinet off,
GERS felt that frequent reports of these
late meetings. which apparently
brought little tangible action. might
lead to suspicion that the lid" il id
been clamped down. that the public
was being mislcd and that back Of

WILSON WATCHES MEXICO
Silent, but Prepares to Relieve
Taft of the Problem.

Trenton. n. j., Feb. l7.-Presdent elect
Wilson displayed keen interest to-day In
the developments In Mexico. He was kept
informed through press dispatches. Mr..
Wilson feels that he ought to make no
comment on the situation at present and
to refrain from injecting more elements
into the dilemma.
He Is watching 1t closely however. with
the idea Of being prepared Immediately
for any difficulties cat may arise after

as ineffective as ever in dislodging the
rebels from their entrenched and for
tilted positions. The federals did not
show the same aggressiveness which
characterized their action In the early
DAYS Of the battle. This is believed
to be due to the fact that they realize
that for the present the government

Fighting throughout the morning was

almost constantly in use. and the fed

The engagement was severe until al
most noon but the firing then dwindled
and developed into an exchange Of vol

to pick off the federal artillerymen as
they were serving the guns.
About noon the rebel gunners at tho

Helping Cupid

On Decoration day she can be out
with the earliest crowds ready to see
and be seen. She meets other girls
who have the same love of outdoor
sports. If she is working over her
clothes at evening time, she knows
that she will see no one but, out in
the parks, where every one seems to
go and to be seen, she is sure TO meet
some one she knows.
Her friends are accompanied by
their friends. A young man is intro
duced to her She must not believe
that he will forget her for the face of
the next girl who passes his path,
Where there is mutual attraction
between the two they are sure to see
each other again.
When a Girl Denies Herself
The girl who seats herself in her
home, unless it be an absolute neces-
sity, denies herself the pleasure of
meeting people. The girl who will not
make friends also cuts herself off from
the ways of meeting people. Strang-
ers cannot introduce her 1t is friends
and acquaintances on whom she must
depend for this courtesy, which may
prove to be the turning point of her
life.
1t is seldom the girl who makes
frocks and furbelows for herself
comes out the best. 1t is she who
passes every hour in the open which
she can possibly spare who makes time
benefit her. Where there are gather
ings it is safe to say that some single
people will be found there. If thev
have mutual friends introductiOns will
be sure to follow.
| Summer time is God s own time for
meeting, loving and mating. Single
] people should avail themselves of it,
while the flowers bloom in country
lanes, in city parks, while the bands
play their music, inviting al to come
and listen. If tgirl has not a male
escort to a picnic, where she knows
many who will be there, let her invite
some girl to accompany her rather
than miss it
The girl who is fond of going and
of pleasure cannot help being intro,
duced here and there, and her circle
of acquaintance widens.

1t isn't alone the girl who is en-
ployed who would like to solve the
problem as to how or where she may
become acquainted with young men
who are heart whole and fancy free,
yet who would not be disinclined to
wed, if they were brought in contact
with the right girl.
The woman who does not have to
worry over the getting of her bread
and butter does not have her own way,
by any manner of means. She finds
that young men 8 likings, like kissing,
go by favor. She may have time at
her disposal, and yet not understand
how to utilize it.
1t is the girl who knows how to use
her time to advantage who gets the
most out of life. There are girls who
are employed, who thrust aside their
chances of becoming wives by their
own lack of Judgment. There is a
certain amount of duties to perform
after her day of labor is over. Yet
she is cruel to herself if she does not
lay out an equal amount of time for
recreation, going about out of doors,
and coming in contact with people.
When Girl Is Wise.
The wise girl will have but one sim
pie made dress, for summer, which
though thin and cool will be dark of
texture. 1t is aboon to her if it does
not shO wsoil. It will lessen hours of
labor in freshening it. Foolish in
deed is the woman who robs herself
of her outing hours, spending weeks
embroidering waists for herself. BY
the time she completes them, mating
and meeting season may be well night
over.
OF course, all women envy the girl
in crisp, white dress, on a warm day
or evening But the same girl may be
rendered quite a fright in a moment 5
time by a sudden dust squall OF
thunder shower.
The girl with a dark dress suffers
no such terrors. She can get into her

have to stop to freshen up her dress

/ do not, for one moment, contend
that our men are angels, but do say
and that most emphatically, with the
assurance of one who has made her
own way in the world and has had the
opportunity through her experience to
come in contact with all classes, that
the fault about women being affrOnted
in our streets lies with the women.
They seek the attention they get. 1t
is false to say that it is uncalled for.
1t is plainly invited. No one with
open eyes can come to any other con.
clusiOn.
Why should a woman resent being
looked at if she were not conscious
that something was wrong with her
appearance! How can any woman
dare accuse any man for looking at her
discOurtesly when she arrays herself in
fashion more suitable for a circus
than anything else! Is it not natural
for human beings to be observant and
influenced by their surroundings The
French woman, whose style the Amer
lean woman is aping, would be insult
ed if she did not receive the atten-
tion the American woman resents.
Why put the blame in the wrong
place!
There is nothing more wrong in a
man looking at an attractive woman
than there is in a woman looking at an
attractive man, Let woman give lit,
tie more attention to the suitable and
sensible, and her attractiveness will
not attract insulting and discourtesous
attention. Freaks in all phrases of
life attract attention.
