SCANDALMoNGERS AND A GIRLS
FAIR NAME.

Alas! They had been friends IN youth;
But whispering tongues can poison truth,
And constancy lives in realms above;
And life is thorny and youth is VAIN
And TO be wroth with one we love
Doth work like madness in the brain.
The most circumspect maiden needs
to be careful of appearance when she
gets beau. If she lives where neigh
bors are inquisitive-in short, keep
tabs on her-it behooves her not to
permit him to remain in her parlor
after 1920 of an evening.
II she should remain out with him
until the wee sma' hours, the scandal
mongers would be sure to put their
heads together, surmising every other
reason which kept her out except the
right one. She may not have thought
1t needful to explain to her dear neigh
bors that she had been detained at the
bedside of relative who was i'll, and
that her solicitous lover waited pa
tiently to escort her safely home. II

AMERICA MAY SECURE
1916 OLYMPIC GAMES

The Olympic games in 1916
may be held in the United
. States. Baron Pierre de Cou-
bertin, president Of the interna-
, tional committee, says if any cir
|. cumstances, material or senti-
) mental, prevent their being held
in Europe in 1915, they can be
; postponed until 1920, as sug'
gested, but that they might be
held in America

thinks, will not have anything
. more than a brief, temporary eft.
feet upon sport in France. Indi-
. vidual records will suffer, be-
cause such stars as Jean Bouin,
; the great runner, have fallen at
the front, and others, no doubt,
) will follow. The younger ele-
ment will not reach their highest
form for three years or more,
but eventually, the baron thinks,
the war will prove to have been
an incentive to physical train
ing.

goes she casts an eager eye ABOUT TO
see If there are other women who look
rs well and attract as much attention
as She Usually she finds more than
one pair of eyes focused upon the pic
ture of feminine loneliness she pre-
sents.
Very few women enter deliberately
into folly. They are most always
drawn into it by slow degrees. 1t isn't
every woman who feels bitter resent
ment if she finds the eyes of a hand
some stranger bent upon her with adj
miration. If she turns quickly away,
that's the end of it. If she casts
peep again, and yet again, to note if
the fascinating stranger is regarding
her intently, the mischief has begun
to brew. Should she see a woman she
knows but slightly bow to him or stop
to chat moment with him, she jumps
at the conclusion he Is finding out who
she is. The man who has marked out
vain woman as victim manages by
hook or crook to secure an introduc-
ton. He permits the affair to remain
thus for awhile, bowling profoundly If
they chance to meet
The woman's opinion of him
changes. She is quite sure now that
he is not the flirt she had imagined
him to be. She does not consider 1t
put of the way to chat with him, hav-
Ing had an introduction. True, her
home folks have never liked the wom-
an acquaintance who presented them.
So she does not think it worth while
to mention the matter. She loves her
dear plodding husband. But, dear
me! John never knows whether she
has on silk or cotton gown, new
and becoming hat or an old one.
The vain woman lives on fiattery 1t
Is to her what dew is to the rose. The
fascinating stranger pays her compli-
ments. He admires her jewels, but
tells her he is alarmed to see her with
such costly gems on the street. He
begs to call cab, to see her safely
home. Many a foolish woman has ac-
cepted such an cftsr to her undoing
He keeps up such a lively conversation
that she does not know or notice the
street into which the cab threads its
way. She chances to glance out. To
her, horror, she beholds that she is in
a strange and dangerous part of the
city. Before she can cry out, the gal
lantry of the stranger has suddenly
changed. In a trice he tears the jew
elry from her, stiles her screams with
loud imprecations, snatches her purse
and keys and leaps from the cab, dis
appearing like flash around the first
corner She does well IL she escapes
a graver experience.
The woman who goes through such
an ordeal finds little pity from friends.
She is roundly blamed by every one
for her folly in being duped by the
fascinating stranger and getting into
such a trap. If, perchance, the fell
low is caught, it is with difficulty that
he can be punished, for he coolly
throws all the blame on her. He de-
clares, manlike, he was simply enjoy
ing a Irritation with pretty, indis-
Greet woman; that she had voluntarily
given him the jewels to help him out
of a business strait, etc. Wives who
sigh for other mems admiration and
foolish maidens out looking for it
should beware of handsome, fascinat-
Ing strangers bent on duping them.

Usually the initial matches color
in the frock or the hat or some other
accessory, if the principal part of the
costume is white. 1t is well to have
several handkerchiefs embroidered In
green, it being neutral color, so that
they can be carried with those frocks
for which you have no matching color.
Frequently white handkerchiefs
have border hens in color and an mi
tial or monogram of the hem color.
1t is pretty custom to embroider
about the monogram or initial little
wreath or medallion frame.

Rnmors of Another White House
Wedding,

Cnuln2.
Washington society is agog over
the reported engagement of Miss
Margaret Wilson to Boyd Fisher OF
Princeton and a we'll known social
worker.
Strength is given to the m by
the frequent week end visits of Mr..
Fisher to the White House and his
constant appearance by the side of
Miss Wilson. 1t is known also hat
never a day passes during his absence
from Washington that a letter is not
sent him on White House stationery
and one from him is in every days
White House mail.
Mr.. Fisher was among the guests
at the White House wedding and was
the only man outside of the immedi-
ate family and the bridal party in
vited to the brides table in the
private dining room for the wedding
feast. Those who have followed the
also recall that Miss Mar
garet Wilson was the one who caught
the bridal bouquet thrown by Mrs.
Sayre and this is said to be accepted
as a happy. augury in the family that
she will be the fourteenth White
House bride.
The family refuse to make a
statement about the engagement,
although Miss Isabelle Wagner, Mrs.
Wilson's secretary, denied that an
engagement existed between Miss
Wilson and Mr.. Fisher. 1t Is only
proper, however. for the family to
refuse information on this score as
the same procedure, was followed
when rumors of the Jessie Wilson
Francis Sayre romance began to
spread through Washington society.
At the present time Miss Margaret
Wilson does not wear an engage
ment ring.
Miss Wilson is said to have met
Mr.. Fisher while studying music in
New York City. Later the acquaint-
ance was renewed in Princeton, when
Mr.. Fisher became a member of the
faculty there. II is said that they
have many eongenial tastes and both
are interested in the social uplift and
betterment of humanity.
