Society Pets

Madame Non Andre, one of the most prominent of the smartest Anglo Ameri- can set, is about everywhere this season and never misses a big night at the opera. She has a lovely grey Persian cat with the gorgeous yellow eyes usually pos sessed by these pets. The cat is de- voted to it's mistress and objects very much to her being out night after night. The other evening it took up it's place under the seat of the automobile which wa to take Madame Von Andre to Gov ent Garden. It kept perfectly quiet un- til the vehicle reached it's destination and then it sneaked out in the train of it's owner and stood gazing at her as she was about to enter the theatre. Madame Von Andres first idea was to send poor puss back in the car, but its wistful glance bought her and tuclxing pussie under her arm, she took it into the opera house where it cuddled itself up in her lap the whole evening, apparently appre- ciating all that was going on.

Salvation Army's Progress
From the Indianapolis Sta


 When the Salvation Army in Philadel- phia celebrated the thirty-fourth anni- versary of the armys birth last Sunday Col. William Peart, chief secretary and second in command in this country, in the course of an address said he was convinced that no people ever lived who had so successfully overcome hatred cyn- icism and oppression. Both the support of the rich and the esteem of the masses had been attained. he said, and added: We were mobbed, stoned and imprisoned i; everyone was against-ps and we early of ficers lived in poisoned atmosphere, but now deliverance has come"
 It is undoubtedly true that the early prejudice against this religious organiza- tion has passed. The sincerity of it's workers and the value of it's work are now universally recognized and it is everywhere regarded with respect. But the charges of persecution are also true and that treatment stands as an indictment against the Christian world. For, it was not in a heather land that the army worked in its earlier years, but in the centers of Christian civilization. It was there that the soldiers" of the army met with contempt and ridicule, if no worse treatment was accorded them, and the sneers and insults Were not offered ex- clusively by the ignorant and rough ele- ment of society. People who should have known better joined in the jeers that$he army aroused and many conventionahY good folk declared that it disgraced re. ligion.
 Happily that day has gone b,. It is realized now that the Salvation Army is doing good work Tn part or he vine- yard that others do not reach, ind peo- pie have come to understand that it's methods are suited to the classe among which it labors- But the rememt ance of the early persecution should pr1n shame to all who joined in N eu4 eaoe them to wish to forget

Mean Society Hostess

There are many hostesses who practice the very limit of meanness these days. It is the way of these women to invite to their parties budding girl singers, whom they make sing several times for the honor of appearing at their functions and the responsibility of getting an en- gagement through their patronage These girls will have all the expense of coming to town, for they usually live in the sub urbs. vii have to supply themselves with new and expensive gloves, flowers and the rest and won't be given in return as much as taxi fare nor a cup of coffee. This sounds incredible, but it is, alas. only too true
 At party the other night at the house Of a woman whose husband will one day be a very wealthy baronet I saw a girl faint with the heat after she had sung the jewel song from Faust Some man had the charity to fetch a glass of water, but that was all the refreshment she had in that house. It would be very good thing if some. of these wealthy woman who go in for philanthropy abroad bA- cause of the newspaper publicity it gives them would exercise little of it in their homes And it is as well to admit that wealthy Americans are just as bad in many cases as our splendid British aris- tocracy. and they do things quite as con temptible.

Miss Havemeyer's Love Match

Some people pronounce Miss Edythe Havemeyer the prospective Duchess Of Grafton, an extraordinary handsome wom- an and others swear they don't see her beauty a, little bit. But then that's just the usual way. She is certainly strik- ing, for her eyes alone would make any face. they are so liquid and splendid. Wonderful to relate she talks very little, that is to say, for an American, and her manners are full of repose-too much so. in fact When the day comes for her to be Duchess of Grafton-and considering the present venerable duke is within -1nsasurable distance of a century, in the ordinary course of circumstances it can not be very far off-she will certainly be to the manner born. The Grafton family keep their youth well and Miss Havemey- CTS fiance. Lord Huston, gives you the Impression that he Is only about 90, though as a matter of fact, he is in his 65th year. He is a real sport and a sl1algmlng man and notwithstanding the disparity in their age her friends believe her when she says she is in love with him. The Grafton dukedom dates from the days of the Merry Monarch, Charles II, and wa invented by him for one of his gay ladies, but it is every hair as good as many of our peerages All the pres ent family are very popular and highly respected.

New York, July 1S.-fSpeciaL)- )-Veri- ly it Is merry, old via,-this thor oughfare that lies obliquely across Manhattan Island-the rue Broadway. But to properly enjoy it's merriment, gaze only upon the surface sights and look ye not too searchingly cen then. Be very careful that your prying fingers dc not scratch off the tinsel in their search for truth for Broadway, stripped of it's essential artificiality, would prove to you that its gleaming lights shed lustrous rays upon as much of tragedy as ever dragged Its heavy feet across the Bridge of Signs.
 It is picture--a work of modern municipal art that thrills, but ahl be careful, for it has thrall as we'll. Dl- aphanius draperies gleaming gems, fair faces fresh from the makeup box, gleaming shirt fronts and high hats mingle with the threadbare raiment of poverty, and beneath the front of each turks deep antagonism for the oth- er while the shrewdest of either is often unable to guage the genuineness of any.
 Those who make merry thereon, come and go--the merriest alone is perma- nent-necessary to the life of the great white way. It is always there and noth- ing yet has even momentarily sup pressed it wholly. It was at its height upon a recent evening, when a lonely man of less than middle age threaded his way along It's crowded pavements.
 His still attractive countenance bore unmistakably the stamp of hopeless ness. He was familiar with it all and now he looked unseeingly at the old, well remembered sights that he had once, perhaps, too we'll believed in. He was one of the many losers in the great battle that is constantly waged in New York. and he had convinced him. self that, having lost there should quite naturally come an end to all things. I cannot say what kind of fight tne laan had made, how bravely he had fought or if he was entirely responsi- ble for his own defeat-I know only that he had lost-lost, all--and despair had claimed him as it claims thousands in this great metropolis.

had, however, continued to hold their
ground.
While part of the enemy advanced
on Dixmude by the Essen and Keyen
roads left open to them, the rest came
at double quick for the sailors. Faced
by the Prussian guard they were in
danger of being surrounded. I'm

out in vain but costly assaults will soon
bear fruit.
A staff officer, writing from the bat
tie line, even goes SO far as to pre-
dict that within another month the
allies will be in position to drive the
enemy from French soil. The writer,
however. admits that he is by nature
an optimist.
