NH OST women hate snakes. In
Nv fact, snakes usually share
- first place with mice and
centipedes in the lexicon of feminine
diversions.
There is one woman who adores
snakes, and she is not the beautiful
snake charmer of the Biggest Show
on Earth, either. '...-
The woman is Flore Revalles, of
the Ballet Russo, remembered here
for her Characterization of Cleo
patra and Zobeide. And Nine.
Revalles has adopted a snake as
teacher.
Just as IL her own version of the
Queen of the Nile were not reptilian
enough, she Is taking lessons from
IA cobra Though to have been
strictly historical it should have been
an asp). The cobra, whose gentle
nature all lovers of Kipling know
from reading 1.-THE Jungle Books"
was presented to the dancer by an
admirer, who heard of her quest for
a snake that would be Sound and
kind, and stand without hitchin' and
a lady can drive him as we'll as a
man."
The snake, meanwhile, has taken
kindly to his pedagogic duties. Not
once has he elevated his hood-the
danger signal of his tribe Indeed,
he can be pressed into service as a
wrap at times, as the picture shows.
Meanwhile Nine. Revalles writhes
daily in an assiduous effort to imi-
tate her pet. And the pet wriggles
obligingly in sinuous curves, a la
Cleopatra.

The Chaperon
BY THE CHAPERoN.

Dear Chaperon: I have been
keeping company with a young
man for eight months. had
every reason to think he loves me,
and I love him dearly. He al
ways enjoyed my company. and
we usually had something inter-
esting to tell each other whenever
he called.
He stopped coming to see me
without reason. Do you think he
should act this way? AGNES.
~ HE same old heart-breaking
story that comes up again
and again: the same dull
question from a woman who
cannot forget. Yet what can l say
that will make the trouble any
easier to bear?
i might write several columns OF
my opinion on this subject. but they
would not be OF any help to you,
nor would they AFFECT the situation
In general.
May Only Seek Chum.
Sometimes 1 believe that women
are more to blame than they know
for the breaking up Of a friendship
like this. II Is possible that a man
IL trying to be a chum. without any
thought OF sentiment. Then the
woman. true to her type. expects II.
The man. disappointed, resumes his
quest for the ideal companion once
more.
After a time I receive a distressed
letter complaining that "he seemed
to love me-" Believe me, my dear
Agnes. a mans idea Of love and a
woman's are different. indeed. She
tries to interpret any little speech or
act as conveying a mesAage OF az
lection he does not intend.

Wednesday, August 30th.

The regular monthly business session

was lowering well above the so degree
mark there were in the neighborhood
of thirty members present. In the alb
sence of J. B. Lyon, president of the

The first matter that came before
the attention of the club was the mat
ter of organizing the new band. Mr..
Gibler, the new band leader. was in
attendance at the meeting and told the
club members that he had talked with
number of the musicians and be.
lieved that there was material avail
able here for a first class band of thir-
ty-five or forty pieces. He felt conf
dent that Denison could have as good
a band as there is in the state with a
little work on the part of the various
musicians. The club membership
were we'll impressed with the new
leader. The chair appointed COM
mittee composed of p. J. Klinker, w
E. Kahler and DR.. A. Fl. Rosburg, to
solicit funds to help defray the eX
penses of the leader. We understand
that the committee has already raised
several hundred dollars for band pur
poses.
Plans for the old settlers picnic, to
be held in Washington park on Thurs
day, August 31st, were discussed by
the club and it was decided that the
club should cooperate with the Off
GERS of the old settlers organization in
every way possible to make it a sue
cess. A committee composed of y
l.. Hunt, Alfred Wright, Bert McCord
T. A. Harvey and G. c. kemming was
appointed to raise funds to help de-
fray the expenses of the picnic.
r. E. Mote, secretary of the club, re-
ported that he had signed contract
with r. B. Austin, advance man for
Ringing Bros. circus, to have the cir

Interesting Report From Miss Mamie
GIassburner Printed in This

most honorable record along this line.
In the eyes of many, none surpass Miss
Glassburner in all around culture and
nobleness of character. The news from
her which we print this week is part

ate, Miss Jennie D. Jones, at Hai-tang.
Miss Glassburner has now been pro.
noted to a better and more congenial
mission at Yenping and the report we
print is her last on the work at Hal.

written by James Whitcomb Riley that
when it reached readers in America
there would be mourning in the hearts
OF his friends over his death. We are
informed from reliable sources that
Miss Glassburner has made brilliant
success at Hai-tang; that taking an un.
promising field On an island out In the
ocean where they have very little to
build upon, she has founded school
for the despised Chinese girls whose
influence will tell forever in the new
christian ideas and ambitions implant-
ed. The work calls for leadership and
Instruction at q girls, boarding school;
among bible women; training school
for women, and day schools. Within a
couple of years Miss Glassburner will
again be home on vacation. Knowing
her zeal for the mission field it is prob.
