upon that would result in clubs being
placed in eight cities now in the two
bodies named. No circuit was an

1t was announced that applications
had been received from fifteen places

cants or their cities was vouchsafed.
All in attendance at the meeting ex
pressed themselves as perfectly salts
fed with the outlook, and all said they
were convinced the league was bound
to go through.
President Gilmore gave out the fol-
lowing statement at the close of two
hours conference:

We are going to invade Eastern and
New England territory. Nothing def
mite has been decided upon as yet, ex
cept that point. / came here to be
shown. and am satisfied with the pros
poets. In fact. they appear brighter
than I had anticipated. We have just
started the ball rolling"
President Gilmore also took occasion to
deny that the Federals had made any
overtures to Leslie Mann, whom it was
reported intended to jump to the Out
laws.
President Gilmore stated that it had
been found necessary by the Federal
League to arrange for a minor league
where surplus players may be placed
and cared for, and also where youngsters
who have been signed by the Federals
may be developed.
Feds VIII Help Pay.
He gave out the. information that while
the Federal League did not intend to
finance the New England orEanization.
and would insist that local capital be in
vested, the Federal League would turn
over the players without expense to the
club owners, and the Federal League
clubs releasing players to the minor
league clubs wouI' pay the difference in
the players salary between the salary
limit of the minor league and the salary
to which the player is contracted by the
Federal League, so that the player would
suffer no financial loss and the minor
league club would not be obliged to pay
Federal League salaries.

dent Wilson following the announce
ment of his engagement to Mrs. Nor
man Gait OF Washington
The fact Chat the president of the
United States, on whom the eyes of
the wor.l has frequently been focused
in the past few months OF the Euro
pean war, has decided to marry again
gave the national capital a topic of ali
sorbing interest which for the moment
overshadOwed all questions Of inter
national or domestic politics
The news came as a surprise to all
but a few intimate friends, who knew
that the friendship of the president
for Mrs Gait had developed into an
intimacy that presaged marriage.
Coupled with the announcement OF
President Wilson's engagement to
Mrs Norman Gait came his open dec
frage in the New Jersey election.
Mrs. Gait does not like publicity
and for that reason has kept out OF
the suffrage limelight. but she has
been in the councils of the suffrage
leaders and has assisted in directing
the fight

She has been close student of the
suffrage cause, a reader of all history
and works on the movement, and hel
friends left to her the conversion OF
the president, realizing that no one
among them was more competent or In
better position.t to undertake this task
A few months ago the presideni
would not see the suffrage leaders
who came to plead their cause.
One week ago il was announced the
president had been won to the cause
of woman suffrage in New Jersey
and on the day his engagement was
announced the president issued bis

During the months of her work will
the president to convince him of the
justice of the women's demands Mrs
Gait kept the secret, and no one out
side the close circle of her intimate

Mrs. Gait is about thirty-eight year
old. youthful in appearance and sim

adored him. Now from his position at
Sabron's feet, he crawled up and
licked his masters hand.
"Charles!" fremont cried, and lift
ed the soldiers hand.
Sabron opened his eyes. He was
sane. The glimmer of smile touched
his lips. He said Tremont's name,
recognized him. Are we homer" he
asked weakly "Is it France?"
fremont turned and dashed away a
tear.
He drew the curtains of the litter
and now walked beside it, his legs
feeling like cotton and his heart beat
ing.
AS they came up toward the en-
campment, two people rode out to
meet them, two women in white riding
habits, on stations, and as the evening
breeze fluttered the wells from their
helmets, they seemed to be flags of
welcome.
Under his helmet fremont was red
and burned. He had short, rough
growth of beard.
Therese de la Maine and Julia Red
mond rode up. fremont recognized
them, and came forward, half stagger-
ing He looked at Julia and smiled,
and pointed with his left hand toward
the litter; but he went directly up to
Madame de la Maine, who sat immov-
able on her little stallion. fremont
seemed to gather her in his arms. He
lifted her down to him.
Julia Redmonds eyes were on the
litter, whose curtains were stirring in
the breeze Hammet Abou, with q
profound salaam, came forward to her.
"Mademoiselle," he said, respect
fully, che lives | have kept my word"
Pitchoune sprang from the litter and
ran over the sands to Julia Redmond.
She dismounted from her horse alone
and called him: "Pitchoune! Pit
choune!" Kneeling down on the des-
ert, she stopped to caress him, and
he crouched at her feet, licking her
hands.

For dressy waist good model,
made of net and shadow lace, is
shown in the picture. The body is of
net with border Of lace at each side Of
the front, and sleeves of lace. These
are finished with hemstitched cuffs.
A standing collar at the back is made
of the lace with scalloped edge and
wired to hold it's position.
Narrow black velvet ribbon is used
in band about the neck and around
the cuffs At the neck it fastens at
one side with hook and eye. Small jet
buttons complete the design, to which
it is easy to add a color note by
basting in a figured ribbon below the
line of the bust, on the under side of
the net.
A little garment that is likely to
prove a friend in need is pictured in
the knitted waistcoat of wool yarn. 1t
is sleeveless and shaped to fit the fig
ure, reaching to the waist line at the
back and little below in front. 1t Is,
in fact, a vest to be worn under the
suit coat when the weather demands
it. Reinforced with this cozy little af,
fair the suit coat will do duty for a
heavier one and tighten the tourists
baggage by that much.
