The young lady's parents have
withdrawn her from the school, and
their action probably will be follow
ed by other parents who are indignant
over the affair. In fact, the entire Sc

continue at school unless another
teacher is given 1t. The school trus-
tees have called an investigation, and
promise to inquire closely into the
matter.
Miss Clayton refused to tell the
young lady the precise examination
question missed by her, and the girl
who is 16 years old, replied rather i'm
pertinently. The superintendent was
then called in. and while he held the
young lady Miss Clayton did this
whipping, using three switches. The
punishment was inflicted in the pres
ence of the class Sessions of the

Senator Lewis sent each member
tie from France. selecting colors that he
himself admired. But many Senators

Child of Bronze Age
Special Gable to The American.


LONDON, Feb. Shakespeare
was a descendant of the Bronze Age
invaders. the true or round -headed
Celts, according to Professor Arthur
Keith. at the royal institution, who
gave an anthropological study of por-
traits of the bard of Avon and of
Burns.
This is a remarkable fact, the pro-
fessor added, for it was this same
short headed stock, spread abroad in
Central Europe, throughout Germany,
France and Italy, which had produced
the worlds finest artists.
Burns, on the Contrary, was good
representative of the long-headed
type of man. His skull represented
an ancient type.

could hardly believe my eyes when
saw so many folks at Helen Humphreys
wedding to Percy Lawton Harley, Wednes-
day. 1t did not seem possible that the great
er part of the guests were from the army
and navy circles, and then there were loads
of out-of-town guests.
1t was the lovelest wedding! Helen
looked too sweet for anything in her gown,
which was of soft white satin, with one OF
the most graceful draped tunics of lace. Her
veil was long and was arranged with little
lace cap which her mother had worn at her
wedding, which, by the way, Susan, took
place exactly forty years ago in the same
dear little old church-St. Johns. Her bot
ouet was of lilies of the valley and white
orchids.
So many of the guests were present
years ago at Major and Mrs. Humphreys
wedding, and such time as everyone had
telling about it. The decorations Wednes-
day were of palms. white lilies, and roses,
and as near like those of the former wed
ding as possible. But the surprise was when
the receiving line formed at Rauscfers,
where the reception and breakfast was held.
Lieutenant Marion B. Humphrey, Helen's
brother, and his wife stood next to Mr.. and
Mrs. Harley, and it was then announced that
their wedding had taken place tho day be-
fore in New York.
Lieutenant Humphrey had received sud-
den orders for duty in Mexico so when he
went up to New York to bring Miss Ruth
Boyce. to whom he had been engaged for
some time, down to his sisters wedding,
thew lust decided to be married themselves.
Mrs Humphrey wore white satin suit with
a white lace hat and carried an armful of
Bride roses. Lieutenant Humphrey leaves
today for Mexico
Then must not forget TO tell you that
the bride of forty years ago and her bride
groom we're also in the receiving line, and
dear Mrs. Humphrey looked very charming
in white crepe silk gown, with black tulle
hat and her bouquet of white roses.
Iuanita was her sisters only attendant.
and she wore white lace, with yellow taf-
feta tunic white lace hat, and carried yell
low roses.
After the reception, Mr.. and Mrs. Harley
went down to Atlantic City, and on Monday
they will sail for Europe to spend the sum.

No, nv dear, the Woods have not left
Fort Myer yet. They are packed and ready

is so delightful that | should think they

that the Wotherspoons are TO take their

recital for her pupils on Tuesday, the first
since she started teaching that aroused
enthusiasm among the critics and, what IS
more unusual, was really thoroughly enjoy

OF all the funny, funny things that you
have written to me, Susan think your OBJ
seryations about the new style halrdressing
which YOU designate as after the style OF

ri admit that sometimes it strikes me
so, but as a general thing it is very becom-

leave off the false hair. Rarely do The girls
