similar precaution was taken with the

"In the course OF this work the twen-

true Sunny South variety. that his mis-

In Washington Mrs. Fahncstock, vho
married Mr. Fahnestock. the society
editor OF one Of the New York after

She is a member Of one Of the oldest
families in Washington. and before her
marriage. about three years. ago, was
Miss Annie Prall. Her photographs Of
Washington society women have been
Published all over the world
Her attorney was equally uncommu-

Yet it is known that Mrs. Fahnestock
recently obtained permission from JUS
tice Newburger to file her summons
and complaint in a suit against the
author through her New York attor-
ntys, Niles Johnston.
This fact. encouraged By the secrecy
which is maintained. has given rise 70
rumors that nc case is somehow con-
nccted with family misunderstanding
which have entered the household Of
the authors family. Mr.. Fahnestock
has, as ever. been happy at the Burnett
freside. but his wife has spent good
part Of the last year with her own
people in Washington.

WILSON SEES IN FLAG
MEMORY or PATRIOTS

De. MONIES. Feb. ! Pres
ldcnt Wilson, in his speech
here to-day. closed with this
tribute to the American flag:
AS | look at that flag
seem TO see many characters
upon it which arc not visible
to the physical eve. There
seem 10 move ghostly visions
of devoted men who. looking
to that flag. thought only of
Liberty. OF the Rights of
Mankind. of the mission Of
America to show the way to
the world for the realization
Of those rights.
And every grave Of every
brave man IN the country
would seem TO have upon
ii the colors Of the flag, if he
were a true American
seem 10 have on it that stain
Of red, which means the true
pulse of blood, that patch of
pure white which means the
peace of the soul.
And then there seems to
rise over the graves Of those
men and to hallow their
memories that blue space Of
the sky in which swim those
stars which cxcmplify for us
the glorious galaxy of the
states Of The Union. which
stand together 10 yindicatc
the Rights of Mankind"
