of others, have decided to ask
your help in our case. We would be CRATE
full if you could put us in touch with some
poor and deserving working girl who is
struggling along in a cheap boarding house
trying to make both ends meet.
We would like to offer all the privileges
of our home to the right girl in return for
some of her time when not at her regular
employment. My work requires a good
deal of overtime and my wife is not strong,
having recently undergone an operation for
appendicitis. We find it advisable to have
some one who can be with my wife in the
evening and can aid in the housework.
q" We do not need a servant and are not
able to hire one constantly anyhow. but
We thought that through you we might be

panionship and what little housework is
necessary evenings and mornings. We
prefer an orphan or a girl from the coun-

is perhaps ambitious for a business career
IN the city but finds the wages of a begin
ner too low to permit Of anything outside
a cheap boarding house existence. Also we
prefer a girl of German parentage and the
Protestant faith. We hope she would be
jolly. cheerful, honest. cleanly, of good
moral character. ambitious, sympathetic,
and patient, willing to he a companion to
my wife and assist in the housework. go
walking, shopping. to the parks, e movies"
and theaters. To such a girl we offer our
home, and we will treat her as a sister and
give her all the help we can in a business
and social way. Reference would be fur
nished and required. NJ. E. X"
As a matter Of course ! cannot say what
would be the standard of such girl as is
desired by N. Z. K. and his wife, but on
reading this letter my own impression is
he would probably be overrun with appli-
cants. The letter is straightforward and
direct and should appeal to any one pos
sessed Of like qualities. and the offer Of
references and demand for them serve as
a guarantee of good faith on both sides.
1 can imagine a tired, discouraged, home
sick girl considering such a home as taste
Of paradise and eager to offer herself for
the position. hold the address Of N. E. K.
subject to demand. but beg that only
those prepared to fulfill ali conditions will

COACH RE|SS
PLEASED WITH WAY
THE JACKETS PLAYED

Especial to The Richmond virginian.)
ASHLAND. VA, Sept. 29.---Coach
Reiss is very much pleased with the
showing which the line made against
the University of Virginia. Although
the score was large 1t was luck that
played a great part in the number OF
touchdowns that Virginia made.
The center, who was a freshman.
played a good game against Captain
Carter. The latter did not outplay
him at any stage of the game. Bush,
one Of the heaviest men In the line,
got down on the punts and tackled
the man with the ball twice during
the game. The line held much bet
ter than they have even done here
against the second team.
Coach thinks after several weeks OF
hard practice he Will have a strong.
fast team. which will represent RAN
doiph- Macon. There was no scrim-
mage this evening, but a good signal
practice. The team will work hard
the rest of the week getting ready
for the Georgetown game. which viii!

Ted Meredith to

cersburg and Pennsylvania runner, Will
enter Georgetown this year. While
II is not absolutely certain that TIM
greatest midd1e-distanc runner In the
world will come to this city to take up
his studies at the Blue and Gray law
school. Ii is definitely understood that
there are good reasons for believing he
will. At least that was the statement
made by one in a position to know
whereof he spoke.
Just how valuable Meredith would be
to Georgetown is too well known to
comment on 1t here. He stands out
today as the greatest distance
runner In the world, and. IL he en-
tered Georgetown. would carry the coll
ors of that school to the front in more
than one race in which the greatest
runners OF modern times might ngurGs

to have one of it's men represent 1t In
the next Oiympics.
There Is one branch OF sport In
which Meredith Ia an excellent per-
former, though, about which the public
little knows. 1t Is in football. While

MAGNATES' MEETING Is
SESSION EXTRAORDINARY
NO DIFFERENCES TO SETTIN
AND THEY ENJOY JOLIIFTCA-
TIoN-AwARD PENNANT.

The much advertised meeting ~!
the Virginia league magnates na9
come and passed. and the Oft repeated
assertions that the meeting would b.
spirited. and that there were Diff
ferences which might result In the
election of a new president, and thafs
this, that and other would, almost Ok
q certainty, take place, have all been
exploded.
Yesterdays meeting at the Stratfor6
hotel, Petersburg, was as calm 80
could be imagined at the awarding
Of a pennant. There was no friction
over the past, and there were many
predictions for the future. All OF the
magnates seemed satisfied with the
results of the past season. and most
Of them acknowledge that the better
team had taken the gonfalcon, as IL
should have done. All announced that
they would have better aggreEatiou1
next season, and the representatives
OF each team quietly slipped the newB-
paper men confidential tips that there
was nothing short of doomsday
which could prevent their taking the
highest honor.
The principal reason for having -the
meeting at all was 10 officially award
to the Petersburg club the pennant
for the past season This was one OK
the first things done after the mag
mates got together, and was followed
by routine business of little imp0r-s
lance. Following the completion OF
this portion of the work those prea-a
ent betook themselves to a banquee
where. among other things. consider
able jollification, congratulations ana
excuses were INDUCED in.
According to the reports made ~
the representatives of the vari0uq
towns the past season has been one
of the most successful in the history
Of the league. This fact Ia remarlkA~s
BILE when 1t considered that In s0vera1E
of the towns new plants had to -
installed and that in other ways the
owners of the clubs were forced TO-
considerable extra expense ALI re-
ported that the fans were taking an
added interest in the games. and that
they had every reason to believe that
next season would be even more suc-s
cessful than the one just closed

BRIDAL Finery In sumatra.

Brides all over the world like to
make the best display possible on their
wedding day, and the bridal attire of
the various countries is invariably
costly and beautiful For sheer gor-
geousness, however, says q writer in
the Wide World Magazine. it would
be hard to rival the wedding finery of
the bellies of the island of Sumatra.
The dress is woven entirely of gold
thread, and its weight is so great that
the wearer can hardly move; even
standing up requires distinct effort
Apart from this shimmering. golden
garment the bride is loaded down with
gold ornaments, rings, bangles, ear
rings, pendants, girdles and necklaces,
and sundry ornamental purses of the
same metal. The huge ornaments
hanging on chains around the neck
are hollow, but all the smaller chains
are of solid native gold, most massive
ly wrought One might almost think
that the natives. having heard some
thing about a good wife being t'worth
her weight in gold" had set out to
prove the fact by loading their quaint
little brides with actual equivalent OF
their weight II, the precious metal.
