that her father remarked he had been
like fish out of water for thirty five
years How he became II popular hero
before the close of this war is a story
too well known to need repeating.
Mrs. Harris spent her childhood on Il

years she made many friends in the
capital who are now welcoming her

some time travelling abroad and had
an interesting stay of many months
in Paris. where she met some Of the
most brilliant and distinguished men
and women in the society of that city.
She first met her husband at her
fathers Alabama home, but their mar

Gen. Wheeler and his family were
spending the winter.
Mrs. Harris is n cousin of Mrs Rich

Sammy Jay Spreads a False
Report.

some people like to spresd bad news.
hey had rather spread bad news than
good news. It's queer. but it's so. Sam
my Jay is that kind. He never seems SO
happy as when he is flying about through
The Green Forest telling some dreadful
news to everybody he meets. And this
isn't the worst of it. He doesn't always
tell the truth, He sometimes makes
things out a great deal worse than they
really are SO as 10 make his story more
exciting. And so it often happens that
Sammy spreads false reports. You know
false reports ale stories that are not
true or only partly true.
Now, Sammy Jay had happened along
just in time to see Farmer Browns boy
pick up poor Mrs. Grouse. after he had
broken the hard Icy crust that had
made her a prisoner underneath. She
had been so weak and worn out that she
could only flutter feebly when he set
her free. and SO he had picked her up
and started home with her. Sammy Jay
had seen this. His eyes had popped out
with excitement. Here was great news.
He couldn't sit still a minute. And
what a splendid chance to say something
bad about Farmer Browns boy. Sammy
never misses chance to make trouble
for Farmer Browns boy.

EXTREME STYLES DENOUNCED.

ern Dances in Synagogue Talk

Modern rag dances and the extreme
styles in women's dress were denounced
by Nine. Bella Pevsner of Palestine in
an address before the Ladies' Auxiliary OF
the Adas Israel Synagogue yesterday
afternoon.
There is not one redeeming feature Of
the new styles, while the tango, hesita-
tion and other modern dances are vulgar
and offend the esthetic sense, the speaker
declared.
The standard Of civilization she urged,
should not be measured by dreadnoughts
or armies, but rather by public schools,
universities, museums and other institu-
tions Of learning.

gogue, said that this city should be a
