show did the smart set manifest in the
automobile show at the Exposition Audi
| forum.
| AS a matter of fact, there are quite
as many motor enthusiasts among the
feminine members of society as among
their stronger brethren, and perhaps as
| many clever drivers, says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle.
Mrs. John Gill; who was among the
pioneer motorists in the ranks of the
smart SET is as clever at the wheel she
was in the days when she first startled
her friends by taking up the fad. and man
ages her motor car as deftly as any of
her brothers, AS long ago as 1906 this
energetic young matron. who at that
time was Miss Sara Drum, was capable
driver. and many who were at San Fran
cisco during the terrible fire in April
1906 remember how she converted her
car into an emergency ambulance to
take injured to the hospital or emer-
gency bus to take those who wished to
leave the city to the ferry or elsewhere
out of town. In Redlands, where Mrs
Gill now lives. she is noted as one of
the cleverest motorists among its smart
set.
Mrs Malcolm Whitman is another of
society's young matrons who drive a
car exceptionally well. On all of the
lengthy motor trips that she has taken
in the last few years she has personally
guided the car. running as carefully and
competently through the dangers and
trying times of the road as the most
experienced motoriSt could exact. While
in California last summer she made sew
eral Journeys from her Burlngame home
to Lake Tahoe and into Nevada and also
from Burlingame to southern California.
and on all of these she was in command
of her automobile.
Mrs. Charles Templeton Crocker, Mrs.
Whitman's sister, in law, is quite
clever, and divided the responsibilities of
the wheel with her husband last summer
on an extended motor trip through the
Sierras, when automobilng was neither
always safe nor comforta BILE. They were
away for many weeks and returned well
satisfied with their unusual outing, Mrs.
Crocker having declared the difficulties OF
the trip to have been one Of the greatest
charms.
Miss Katherine Redding was another of
the younger element of society to make
the trip through the difficult Sierra coun-
try last summer. when she drove through
to Nevada for stay of several weeks.
stopping here and there en- route and
managing to make the trip both going and
on the return withSa minimum of auto
mshaps.
Mrs Norman f. Rideout it was who
year or two ago electrified her friends
when she insisted on driving her car from
Tahoe to San Francisco. and that in spite
Of the fact that she was making her first
fad that was not in vogue during the days
when she was a young matron.
Misses Helen and Ethel Croker are
others of that coterie who handle: their
cars we'll and have put their ability to
difficult tests more than once, as has Miss
Cara Coleman.

False Economy.

Some people begrudge the expendi-
ture of money to beautify the home or
to bring the comforting message of
friendship in time of trouble. To them
flowers are of no use, pictures and
music a waste of money. But life
restricted to things that go into the
pot or are worn on the back results in
starving the spirit. IF I had two
loaves of bread would sell one of
them to buy white hyacinths to feed
my soulI' That was the terse and
poetic statement of truth oft neg
lected.
Even the poor need other things
more than they need money. The
money will be gone next month, but
the memory Of a great bunch of wild
flowers remain. Flower missions fur
nish a beautiful ministry that almost
any Sunday school class can exercise.
Send your posies to the hospitals or to
the children Of the slums. s.-The Chris
tian Herald.
