GOVERNOR WAS NOT ANNUYED
Reason Why Massachusetts, Chief Ex-
eeutive Did Not Resent His Be-
ing Mistaken for Butler. q.

Here's a good one that Ex-Governor
Walsh Of Massachusetts told on him
self at a dinner given to some of his
friends in Washington recently.
Some months ago, while he was gov
ernor, Mr.. Walsh was a guest at a re-
ception given by Mrs. Mabel Hunt Sla-
ter In Boston.
The governor arrived late and was
not introduced to all Of the guests
because of their large numbers. Some
time in the early hours of the morn
Ing Archie Roosevelt approached him
and said:
John, will you please get me a nap
kinT'
Certainly" Governor Walsh said.
Keeping a grave face, "in a minute,
SIR"
The governor promptly found the
napkin for young Roosevelt and smil-
ingly handed it to him. Something in
the governors smile made Roosevelt
suspicious. A w%ell-trained butler does
not smile.
Aren't you the butler?" he asked,
doubtfully.
mo, my name is Walsh; / am gov
of Massachusetts" was the re-
ply.
Roosevelt opologized profusely.
ooh, that's all right" Walsh said. 81

night would neither deny or confirm

to appear before the federal grand

made concerning the carelessness of
federal troops in permitting supplies of

the report.

the country and of Utah particularly
that they have every reason to be
proud Of the achievements of Lieu

Utah Cavalry, and former secretary of
the Commercial club of Salt Lake City.

Inducements. He held every inch of

VOGUE OVER OLD
|NUSH|NC PARTY

Joy rides and movies have taken the
place of the mush party And what
IS a mush party
Well, it is out of date and takes time
to recall. Let's see-it's a social, eX-
tremely social nature. where games are
played in which the forleits arc a lit
tie love, little kiss.
Says Charles W. Dietrich, seer t.uy
in charge Of the central branch ci the
Young Mems Christian association:
"Mushing hugsing. kissing tnu sIcA
like is all wrong. If you mush too
much you will get tired Of il before
you ought to" Evangelist Hart agrees
with Dietrich in at least part of his
address given before a Brooklyn au
dience recently, in that arms are made
for protection and not for spoOning.
Mr. Hart. however. believes that the
'mush" party has lost out in these
modern times in favor of the auto
mobile and picture playhouse. The in
fluence he contends is equally harm
full If young people must have
amusement let them talk, he says.
Elevate the moral tone of the COM
munity by social gatherings where the
conversation is high class and in
telecual. advises the evangelist who
bitterly denOunceS the hostess who
home and gather them around the
card table.
Burn the cards and get right with
God" demands Hart.
Dietrich in giving a few tips on the
marriage market made this statement:
Don't think you have done your
duty or expect to win a girl merely
by decorating her parlOr. Take her TO
a musical entertainment, to show
What kind of a show" questions
Hart. Certainly not to a picture show
that keeps open on Sunday. | do not
mean that they should not attend that
particular theater on the Sabbath but
on any other day. putting the proper
censorship on the house. True Chris
tians will taboo the open Sunday in
vogue here at the present time"
The points on matrimony made by
Dietrich are in harmony with his own
ideas on the subject \ few of the
safety first methods of arriving at that
state in which the gentlemen agree
follow
Don't try to rush matters. Being
over anxious more often does harm
than good. Don't call on her every
night in the week.
Cut out the other girls. There arc
young 1nen who dangle other girls be
fore the noses OF their sWCethearts
just to show them they are not the
only ones.
"Courtship is siege. BY trying to
go ahead too rapidly one may get
himself into a position where he may
have to spike his guns and give up
altogether
