family then had their country home. She

sisters were entirely outclasscd. Surely the
child was mother Of the woman!
About this time Mrs. Dahlgrcn. although
the mother OF nine children, decided to Sc
cure divorce. The decree granted, she
bought one of the haudsomest estates in
Lenox aud took her lively family TO that
supposedly quiet place. About this time
Ulrica was displaying many marks Of origi-
nality and independence She would not
study frivolous subjects, but went in for
chemistry and kindred subjects. At the age
Of sixteen she decided to go to college and
study engineering. She worked in the family

OF dcbuts and such pleasures, Ulrica shrugged
pretty shoulders and said ri don t like New
York. IS no fun motoring there" 1t was
constant struggle to get her to spend even a
few days III the city. Society had no charms
for the girl who liked puttering around her
garage lii cloth brooches or who tore madly
about the country forcing her "yellow ter
ror' to its utmost
But last Winter Ulrica simply had to
come out and almost sullenly she con-
Scnted to spend four months in New York.
Several times during the first nonth-which
was January-thc traffic policemen on Fifth
avenue and Riverside Drive warned the girl
70 slow down. Then she was arrested and
fined twenty-five dollars. This had some slight
effect Tor nothing further happened until
April, when she was arrested as a Second
offender and given her choice of ten DAYS in
the city prison or paying fifty dollars She
chose the latter and went home sadder and
wiser.
For exactly twenty eight days Miss Dahl
gren led a chastcncd existence but on the
fifteenth OF May the Merrick Road on Long
Island proved too tempting, and to quote her
own words, she hit it up little" The re-
suit was her arrest and very close cscapo

generation Of Dahlgrcn beauties
With such family traditions, with so many
amazing examples set before her, how can
even an indignant mother blame Ulrica the
Unexpected for "ganging her ain gait so
bravely. Although unexpected, everything
that Ulrca has done since she turned ten
years, might have been expected.
On her tenth birthday, for instance, W.
RIGA was taken out by her governcss and
two nurses for prim and proper walk.
Her eight little brothers and sisters were in
the party and half dozen small friends.
The others walked sedately along the coun-
try road near Lawrence, T.. l. Katherine
and Ulrica raced ahead, eager even at that
ago to speed, speed. They spied a wire

Being taken to the Jamaica court, the Judge
codly said Cone hundred dollars or ten
days" At first she said she would rather go
to Jail than pay the money. Evidently desir-
ing to give her a hint of what Jail might
mean, the judge ordered her to return to the
prisoners bench where she sat between two
women arrested for intoxication. In very
few minutes Miss Dahlgren said she would
like to telephone her mother!
There was some delay in receiving the nee
essary funds, and i'll the end Miss Dahlgren
was taken to Queens County Jail. Just after
her finger prints had been taken her mother
appeared and paid the fine.
The next week Mrs. Dahlgren closed her
town house and, instead Of going to her estate
in Lenox, decided to teach all her children a
lesson by taking a small, isolated place in
Connecticut, State where none of her chill
dren had been held up for speeding. Mrs.
Dahlgren it gradually developed, was wor-
ricd about other things than speeding There
was Jack Hubbard, the semi professional
dancer, to be reckoned with. Ulrica and Jackj
1t seems, had developed q tremendous affair.
Having no money aside from the pay granted
second lieutenant--if he succeeded in win
ming his commission-young Hubbard was no
match for a Drexel- Dahlgren
All the family connections made a great
to-do, and Mrs. Dahgren spent most dis
hcartening Summer trying to keep the young
people apart. Finally the Government took
hand i'll the romance by ordering Lieutenant
Hubbard to Arizona! Mrs. Dahlgren breathcd
easier. The family vigilance relaxed. Ulrica
was saved for richer mate
But Ulrica the Unexpected, did exactly
what her family should have expected her to
do She packed a trunk with her prettiest
clothes, drew some money from her bank and
went to Arizona and married her man before
her family had stopped rubbing the:1 eyes.
Thus cndeth Ulrica's girlish romance, and
thus begins her woman S history. Will it end
in six or three months or will it, like that of
the Harry Lehrs, continue so long as both do

receive at least two Of these millions And,
further, no matter how independent and de-
fiant Of her mother and society Ulrica had
been, she had never faced poverty. And still
further, whatever scrapes her defiance of
orders brought her into, her mothers wealth
always cxtricated her.
But being known as "Ulrica the Unex-
pcctcd," perhaps she will be happy without
any Of her mothers millions One Of the
officers of the ultra fashionable Junior
League, of which Miss Dahlgren is mem
Der, had something to say about the bride s
chance for happiness.
"Of course Urca will be happy for
while; she thrvcs on new sensations and
admires excitement and thrills Now, while
Jack is hero-he is stationed at camp
in Arizona-Ulrica will be happy But I
give her six months at the outside'
Another Of the brides friends is less op-
timistic. six months? Never give the
happy pair three months, for Ulrica simply
must live at high speed and surely no one
can speed in Arizona!"
1t is this question of speed and speeding
that makes tho brides friends and family
believe that the isolated army camp will
soon pail on the lively Young New Yorker
From the days of her childhood Ulrica has
gone through life at rapid gait In her
dcbutantc winter, for example, she was ar
rested three times for speeding, had her
finger prints taken as an old offender, was
sentenced to thirty days in Jail and threat
ened with the withdrawal of her motor
license. :.
To be sure her sister Katherine was ar
rested several times in Massachusetts, and
New York, and the glorious State of Massa-
chusetts did actually withdraw her license
and forbade her the use Of the State roads.
But since kathcrine's marriage to Richard
Emmett last year, she has not figured in any
speeding affairs. Lenox will not soon for.

Gov Philip has issued q statement
on the senatorial situation arising
from the death Of Senator Husting,
stating he viii ask the legislature for
authority to i'll the vacancy in a spe-
cial session soon TO be called. The rea-
/ sons for making this request are that
an election at this tine would serve
as an excuse for pacifists ard anti
war propagandists to fill the state
with their literature and their advo-
Gates. This, the governor believes,
would tend 70 break down the spirit
of cooperation on part Of the people
with the national government, which
he declares is absolutely necessary at
this time, and which the executive
must have A primary and special
election would cost the state 100000
or more. The governor believes at
this time, when the people are called
upon to meet tremendous war ex-
penses, that fact is worthy of serious
consideration. II a special election
was held the man elected would hold
Office not more than a year at most,
and his successor would have to be
elected in November, 1918. The gov
ernor sees nothing TO be gained by
the expenditure of the large amount
of money necessary for an election,
when a United States senator can be
elected in 1918 without additional ex-
pense. If given the appointing pow
er the governor pledges that he viii
select the strongest man in the state
he can induce to take the office and he
must be "a man who will stand with
the national government in our pres
ent crisis and not partisan politician.
In other words, he must uphold the
administration as did Senator Hust-
ing. Governor Philip very frankly
says he is not a candidate for senator.
While on general principles the Cen
sor believes in the people electing their
own servants, the complications are
such in this instance that we see no
great harm to come from the legisla-
ture authorizing the governor to tenn
porarily fill the senatorial vacancy.
What Wisconsin should have beyond
all else is a genuine American citizen
and a patriot. man Of high attain
ments, who viii reflect credit on the
commonwealth and counter balance
the stigma that now rests on US. His
political affiliations are of infinitely
less consequence than are the other
momentous things entering into this
selection of a senator.

A new call for volunteers that is
expected 90 raise 1 200 men in one
week is sounded in Wisconsin through
the local draft boards and county and
local councils Of defense, it was an
nounced by Adjutant General Holway
following the receipt of a telegram
from Adjutant General McCan, repre-
sentative Of Secretary of War Baker.
The men viii be used to fill the va
cancils in the Wisconsin troops at
Waco, whose registry lists have been
depleted by the change in the war
strength OF a regiment from 1000 to
5000 All men between IS and 20
years Of age, physically qualified, viii
be accepted, and men between Is and
Is, who have the consent OF their par

They will be sent to jefferson bar
racks for physical examination inn
mediately, and then forwarded, if &C

that they will be moved to the Euro
