Nobody really knows very
much about Ethel Roosev-,
whose engagement to New
York doctor has just been made
known. For Ethel Roosevelt is,
like her mother, one of the best
known, but also one of the least
known women in the United
States. Everyone knows of her,
but few know about her.
/ spent a day last fall visiting
at Sycamore Hill and | saw the
real Ethel Roosevelt as few are
privileged to see her. And she
was a perfect delight-what we
would like to consider as "the
typical American girl" Her
simplicity, her buoyant spirit and
her kindness made her the life
of the famous colonel's Oyster
Bay home.
Why, not only the stories, but
even the pictures of Ethel Roose-
Welt which we see are ''libels. "
They show her wonderful blonde
hair as dark as midnight and
otherwise make her look like a
pronounced brunette, when she
is that beautiful ash-blonde
shade that is the rarest color in
the world. Her coloring is pink
and white, and her eyes that pc
culiar shade of blue called Alice
blue in honor of her sister, Mrs.
Nicholas Longworth.
She speaks with a queer little

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb.
1S.-"Sign the petition to re-
call Judge Weller!"
Cars clattered by with bells
changing, wagons went rumbling
along, but still this cry rose:
Sign the petition to recall Judge
Weller!" - internationally, but
with incessant regularity.
Mrs. Ida Reichel, one of the
women interested in the recall of
Police Judge Weller, who re-
duced the bail of a man charged
with white slavery and thereby
made 1t possible for him to es-
cape, is the woman who was ut
tering this call on the main
street of San Francisco in the
heart of the business section.
She stood backed up against
the wall of a tall building with a
recall petition in one hand and a
fountain pen in the other and
hailed the voters as they passed
by.
THAT is the two hundredth
signature today" she said JOY
ously, as the man put his name
down. II have been working the
streets for two weeks and have
obtained 5000 signatures.

mysterious tone, do you know
this Is a serious business?"
Dramatic pause, then:
"My advice to you is-'Have q
care' My folks made the first
candles ever used in this coun-
try! Have a care!' and she
turned on her heel and was
quickly swallowed up in the
crowd.
"Oh, don't mind that" said
Mrs. Reichel. "All of the nuts
are not under lock and key yet,
by long shot.
we have more than 1900
names now and only 1000 are
required to hold the election. We
are getting all We can so that in
case any signatures are protested,
We will have plenty to carry the
thing on over"

accent, sort of a cross between
the infection of the New York
where she lives and the Virginia
from which her ancestors came.
In Ethel Roosevelt's vocabu-
larry there are none of the double
back-action letter 4. $ of the west,
and where the usual college girl
would say, What do you think
of that" Miss Ethel exclaims,
Fancy"
Miss Roosevelt has been very
popular in society, both in Wash
ington and New York, ever since
her debutante party at the White
House, but she ISIS really been
and her charities than in the
round of frivolities which inter-
est the smart set.
And finally, she has one beau
tiful accomplishment which is
rare in these days. She is a fine
needlewoman and like her mother
is never seen sitting idly with
folded hands. If you go to make
an informal call at Sycamore
Hill you will find that both
Mrs. Roosevelt and her daughter
will, almost unconsciously, busy
themselves with delicate embroid-
cries or fine needlework while
visiting with you.
Altogether l think that Ethel
Roosevelt is a splendid example
of womanhood and that young

SON TO QUIT CLUB
Prince Of Wales Participates
inEvening otDfink and Song.

London, May 29-The young Prince
Of Wales has just received reminder
that although, as an Oxford student,
he rejoices in the appellation of a
man, his mother at least looks upon
him as subject to maternal rules.
When the prince went to the var
sity he was anxious to join one or
other of the clubs which confer GER
tain sort of distinction on favored un-
dergraduates. One of the most famous
of these is the Burlington club, mem
bership in which indicates exceptional
popularity among the youth of tht
university.
OF course this club was open to the
prince, as any other would have been.
difficulty in getting his parents per-
mission to join the Burlington, and
eventually obtained it only on the un-
derstanding that he never join in what
is known as Burlington blind, a
euphemistic phrase for an evening of
drink and song.
Unluckily the prince was persuaded
to participate in one of these blinds
a few weeks ago, and report that he
had succumbed to temptation was not
long in reaching his royal parents. The
result was that the prince was direct
cd by telegram to remove his name
from the Burlington.
1t is worthy of note that the tele5
gram came from Queen Mary, not from
the king.

den and his assistants are one physi

The bill becomes effective as soon
as approved, but will not effect a con
demned man who committed murder
prior to the date of the approval OF
