COMING in on a souside car a
young couple sat, or reclined-prefer-
ably reclined-opposite US. The young
mans hat was on the back Of his head,
leaving his open face exposed to the
glare Of the incandescents. The young
woman's face was Swallowed by her
toque, but visibly in a state of con-
slant activity, due TO the stimulation
of wad Of gum, which she deity
switched from one sidee of her jaw 10
the other d masticated with a rotary
motion. The pair occupied three
seats, their crossed knees in justapo-
sition holding the third safely against
intrusion. They spoke, when they
did, in suppre ssed tones. There was
nothing remarkable about this except
that ii is so common.
Funny thing about those fellows in

popular with her sex. Evidently she
doesn't care, since she has expressed
her conviction that women should not

is that "A nation should be ruled by
logical Intelligence. Women are guild
ed by emotion and instinct But, we
observe, ElinOr is careful not TO say
the nation is ruled by logical intelli-

and Austria fear Great Britain above
all their foes. Sir Herbert Raphael
Bart, richest members of the English

When asked why he enlisted as a pri-

Because / had no military expert

The same spirit was abundantly
manifested in this country during the
Spanish American war. The wealth
