Probably you'll say that johnson

This trade of Williams and MoIIwitz
for Derrick seems to be in a hopeless
tangle. President Thomas of the Cubs
says the deal was never made. Garry
Hermann of the Reds says it was
absolutely agreed to to. Take your
choice.
Derrick, on past performances,
won't be a big help to the Cubs, but
he has been going well in Baltimore.
Still, neither Mollwitz or Williams are
of great assistance to the locals, and
it wouldn't hurt to take chance with
Derrick.
A later report came in from Gin
cinnati that Derrick was in i'll health,

truth it bears.
Two opportunities have been pass
ed up by the Cubs. 1t is just possible
that the Giants will recover from
their slump before they get here, and
then the O'Days must play ball.
When a team is in winning streak
it gets all the best of the breaks of
the game and the luck. That partly
accounts for its success, though of
course there must be some mechan-
ical strength in evidence to take adj
vantage of the other fellows miscues.
That was the way the Sox beat
Boston. Errors were chucked in to
give the Galatians a start and they
possessed the power to- put in the
necessary bumps with the bat.

A Iay-off was not punishment to
Tim. 1t hurt the team. So Thomas
lined him $50, and three days pay
will also be deducted from his pay
check.
Zim, or any other player, shouldn't
be blamed too severely for kicking
on the decisions of Johnson. Some
Of them in the last two games have
been miserable. But the arbiter will
not listen to a word and opens the
gate at the first sign of rebellion.
Some of the Braves realized this,
and when decisions were handed
against them yesterday they merely
laughed.
But to get back to Zim. When he
kicked to Johnson there wasn't a
chance in the world for the decision
to be reversed. 1t had been made and
stuck.
Zim's loss to the team can best be
calculated by the fact that three
openings would have been presented
to him yesterday to drive in runs.
He might have connected at least
once, and this one bingle would have
made the difference between victory
and defeat.
Also, Corriden had to go to third
base, and the unaccustomed bright
ness of the sun at that corner dis
concerted the shortstop, and resulted
in two or three hits that Heinie
might have knocked down.
Yesterday we criticized the umpir-

before they have begun. This is prob

AN ASTER LUNCHEON.

Asters are in their prime and are q

An aster luncheon given last year was
so pretty that a description will be very
welcome to our readers.
An aster means a star" The center
piece was a star-shaped form made of
tin: 1t was filled with delicate pink and
lavender asters. Ribbons OF pinkish
lavender radlated to each place. where
they were attached to star-shaped cards
cut from lavender cardboard and the
names were written in white ink. There
was a corsage bouquet at each plate with
a long violet-headed pin. Pinkish laven-
der is a charming daytime color. but it
does not light up well, so, as the day
was hot, no artificial light was used, not
even candles. There was no attempt
made to carry out the color scheme in
the food, except candied violets were
sprinkled over the top Of the pineapple
ice, which was served in tall glasses
with pink lace paper doilies underneath;
the plates were decorated in violets and
the effect was lovely.
For diversion the hostess provided easy
chairs, hammocks and cushions, a box
Of delicious candy, a bowl OF iced tea
made strong with lemon and pineapple
Juice, and Shen she proceeded to read
aloud the most fascinating story entitled:

CATECHISM OF LOVE

that love still reigns, we renew our
youth, but when we can't forgive. when
We allow the bitter, brooding thoughts to
come and resentment TO hide its hideous
face beneath an outward mask of seren-
ity, We have left youth behind and love
Is going.
And after all II is the woman's part
to forgive and forget: her part to 1T the

TIE average man ISN'T sentimental. nature

man, and so a woman must make her
romance for herself. She must learn TO
understand as well as love: to overlook
the little things; to smile at the disap-
pointments and so she will make her
own happiness and help the world to bet
ter things.
Love Casually.
Much OF the present-day divorce I at
tribute to the fact that women pursue
youth and beauty and love casually in
stead Of with spirit and mind. They are
hungry for open admiration. for wooing
and for gayety, and they want demon
strations Of all that. and they fret over
the absence Of these things; they turn
restlessly from the man who falls to give

der thoughts; they must have 1t written
In black and white. and so they let the
bitter thoughts creep in and the hostile
critical attitude grows upon them. They
demand this or that-not because they
love, but legally because they are a mans
wife, and so the man IN turn, ever the
mirror for the woman's mood, becomes
hostile and love dies and the divorce
courts wipe out its beauty and add an
other stain to what has become a nation
al shame.
For my part I believe that ones mind
is like a garden. where one plants
thoughts as flowers. Some minds, I ad-
init, are stony. some are rich soil. but
every one Is capable OF being planted
with beautiful flowers, and the seedlings
from the beautiful thoughts we plant in
our own minds are waited by every
phrase or smile or look into the minds OF
others. and every noxious weed, every
ugly thought we plant makes US equal

In continuing her love catechism, Miss
Walker says love and happines are what
we make them, not the mere result of

romance and Joy are always In our

a year, the contents Of the cupboard
should be carefully looked through, In

FABRICS FOR FALL WEAR.

II you are undecided regarding the fab
ric you intend choosing for your fall
costume. make a special visit to the
dress-goods departments OF the large
shops and view the lovely fabrics on
display. For the taiIor-made suit there
are handsome gabardines. serges. pop
Inns and broadcloths, in both dull and
satin finish. Then there are peau de
souris. Zibeline. a wool velour OF light
quality and duvetine in a new weave
which promises to be more serviceable
than that Of last season.
Later in the season velvets, corduroys
and velveteens will be used, and the
latest weaves show brocaded. embroid-
cred, corded and plaid effects in the most
wonderful OF coloring.
Chiffon plushes are commanding much
attention, and the imitation furs will be
used for street costumes or as TRIM
ming. A favored combination Is broad
cloth trimmed with bands of imitation
broadtail, moleskin or sealskin.
Most Of the materials are OF dark,
rich colors, greens, blues and browns
predominating. Among the light tones
sand and putty, ocher and gray are in

Famous Women
Her Birthday and Yours
Sophia Dorothea Adelins Whitney.

Though Sophia Dorothea was wife. OF
King George II, and though she lived
twelve years after her husbands coro-
nation, her name is not to be found In
the list Of English queens. Still she was
the mother Of King George us heir, and
she was the first cousin OF the King, her
husband. The story Of why Sophia Doro-
thea never became Queen OF England is
the story Of her life.
She was born In Germany, September
Is, 1895, and at the age Of sixteen she was
married for court reasons TO her flpst
cousin who later became King Of Eng
land. OF her two children one became
George II and the other became the
mother OF Frederick the Great.
The failure Of the marriage Of George
and Sophia was in all probabilities due
to Georges misconduct. He set his stand
ard of conduct from, that of the profit
gate French court at Versailles. But
when George amused himself with as
many women as hea chose after the fash
ion of the Bourbons, he found his wife
was not the docile, long-suftering crea-
ture that many of the Bourbon queens
proved to be. A model queen. according
to the standards then prevalent, would
have crushed her jealousy and silenced
her anger, she would have devoted her
self to her prayers and her children, her
clothes and charities.
But Sophia Dorothea proved that she
was made Of the same clay as her fickle
husband. When the Princess Sophia
found herself neglected she turned her
thoughts to the Count KonigsmarK. with
whom she had been in love as a mere
child, and who had grown into one of
the most fascinating men Of his time.
