REGENT COMMENT UPON
 MISS FARRAR'S WEDDING

One of the most interesting comments which has been made upon the marriage of Geraldine Farrar and M. Lou-Tellen- gen is the following from a well known Chicago daily under the caption: Smart Set in F'urore Over Farrar Wedding"
 New York.-(Special Correspendence9 No debutante this season has attracted as much social attention as has been accorded Geraldine Farrar. She is New York's own, and when word of her en- gagement crept out smart set and all were in a furore. Nobody could find out anything except a few close friends and they wouldn't tell.
 Word had it that the prima donna was to be married in the hospital where her father lay i'll, but ''ole Sid Farrar" as friends call him, frustrated this. He said: Nothing would so please "Gerrie's dramatic sense as to be married over my deathbed, but I won't have it.' He re- covered sufficiently to be taken to her magnificent home and witnessed the ceremony from his easy chair in the has guarded her little daughter so ten derly from all encroaching romances, has been wringing her hands lately and say ing: If Gerrie would only wait for six months this would never happen!'
 Most mothers think that they have really accomplished something when they get a daughter married, but you cannot expect any ordinary rules for conduct to apply to so extraordinary a daugh- ter. They say that in this instance, as always, the awfully sensible as we'll as beautiful young prima donna knew her mind; that she is much in love with her handsome bridegroom as he is with her, and that she stands in a fair way to live

happily with him for a long, long time. Friends consider him quite as charming in his way as she is in hers, and they say that not even in the most romantic novels will you find a more transcenden- tally attractive couple.
 I passed an evening once out in Chi cago with Miss Farrar and fell under her spell All the while I kept thinking what wonderful bride she would be. MT. Scotti was present during a part of the time, as well as Mrs. Farrar, and everybody talked merrily. In Miss Far rar's personality the intellectual seems to prevail over the emotional As some body put it, her gestures always seem to point toward her head and not to her heart. Still she is a romantic figure in deed, and when romance combines with intellectually it produces an attractive ness not to be transcended

 Mrs. B. F. Wilkerson introduced Mrs Keeble to her audience, which was in- stantly swayed by the magic of her voice. In an extremely modish gown of rose with touches of black and net and gold brocade, the lovely brunette type of Mrs, Keeble was distinctly marked Mrs. Keeble read her story with the ease and grace of an artiste.
 Clever indeed were her Representations of David, the Jew, and Vera, the Chris tian, and in her foreign accents she was extremely natural. Mrs Keeble is noted for her southern dialect, shown to ad- vantages in Whidden's Negro Dialect Stories
 In the beginning Mrs Keeble stated that her pricipal impression of The Melting Pot was not the author's-that universal brotherhood is realized by the intermingling of races-but that religion must not only be realized by the nation wide brotherhood, but that the influence of individual personality must be strongly felt.
 In the dramatic passages Mrs. Keeble was superb and her work was one of the most enjoyable of the Drama league readings
 An informal reception followed and the Drama league members were given the pleasure of meeting Mrs Keeble.
 On account of an engagement to join a party of friends in Nashville and make a trip to Washington city in their pri- yate car, where they will attend Justice McDowell's diplomatic dinner, Mrs. Kee- ble's visit in the city must be brief.
 Among those noted at the Tutwiler yesterday aftetrnoon were Mrs. E. H. Cabaniss Mrs. Sterling. Foster, Mrs. B. F. Wilkerson, Mrs. J. M Cartwright, Mrs. T. V. Magruder, Mrs H. F.

n ESIDES not being able to tell lie George Washington, the father A of our country" wasn't able to get away from the snow and ice which surrounded him in his fight for freedom and which causes one to observe that this eminent gentleman was something of a wintry here.
 book of quite a bit of interest by Frederick Trevor Hill, entitled Wash ington; the Man of Action" brings this particularly to one's notice, as the pie lures it contains are scanned. Comte J. Omfroy de Breville illustrates in this volume incidents in the life of the great hero most thrillingly and complies by these illustrations some very interesting data.
 Born in February, as George Washing ton was married in January, dying in December, somewhat of the iron calm and firmness of winter seems to have been incorporated into his nature.
 To peruse these graphic pictures (al- most mural decorations) we come to the Crossing of the Delaware" on Decem- Der 9, 1776; the floating ice, the binding snow, the dimly glowing lanterns light ing the frail boat brings a realization of one of the most heroic Christmas epics of all history
 Christmas and such an errand; Christ mas and such a storm-swept night; then the pictures of the shivering, starving soldiers, encamped during the winter of TIT, amid the snowy fields of Valley Forge; Continental soldiers wrapped in ragged army cloaks huddled together
