Yes, going home and incident

gone forever. The range for cattle
and man is disappearing. We are

Her Foot Slipped.

At a recent gathering at the Lambs
Club George M. Cohan told the fol
lowing story:
when / was a youngster our town
was thrown into a frenzy of excite
men through the appearance OF a
chap known as Jack the Kisser. He
used to jump out of dark places, grab
the girls, kiss them and run away.
A friend of mine and a girl were dis
cussing the kisser, he declaring that
man could kiss a girl whether she
willed it or not, and she maintaining
that it couldn't be done. Finally
they decided that the only way to
prove their contentious was to try
it. They did. And the man won af-
ter a brief struggle and kissed the
girl ardently for several minutes.
Then he released her. ooh, well,'
said the girl, you really didn't win
fair. My foot slipped. Let's try it
again "-Argonaut.

to-day. The whole thing in a nutshell lis
of the men in the guise of suitors, decided
to play one off against the other on the
tennis courts
1t was not a case of 'ff you love me, be
my husband" but eff you make me cham
piOn, then you may be my suitor" All
during the Spring the lady played on New
York courts with first one man and then
the other. She wanted to play fair and so
Tuesdays and so on
After several weeks, Mrs. Cushing evil
IDENTIFY decided that Douglas proved the
better partner and so she settled on him
as her Summer playmate. In making her
decision, she put it squarely up to Douglas,
however, that he must carry her to victory
this season on the Newport courts or all
would be over between them. And never
has man worked harder than Douglas to
fulfill his lady's demands.
Early birds, twittering on the big elms
that shade the Casino courts have neard
strange sounds from two early players.
Father Robin may not have understood
what '1ove all or thirty love" meant, but
Mother Robin understood and was also
interested in the bits Of flashing color that
constantly streaked across the grass under
her tree top nest. Could it be a scarlet
tanager, or a brilliant Baltimore OriOle?
No, second glances proved the streaks to
be Mrs. Gushing clad in trim white linen
suit, topped by her magnificent red-gold
hair, left Undated in the brilliant sunlight
Swift and sure of her game as she played
with Douglas, winning "love" in nearly

in = far corner of the Casino and practised
steadily some very hard smashing serves.
Every time 'love" was called on the cham
pionship court he WINGED and drove the
balls harder against his professional Op-
ponent-none of mis- friends would stand
up against him. 1t was too plain that
Winnie was out for a killing!

ask all the pretty debs and signing young
matrons.
That's easy" explain the men. Burden
is training himself to challenge Douglas
for two some in which the victor shall
gain the spoils"
Said spoils being Mrs. Cushing, Of course.
Now this would prove most thrilling
wind-up of the whole contest. The two
men, standing about equal in the sight Of
law and man, might fight for the lady over
the tennis court! Newport believes firmly
that late in the month, after the crowd has
left the colony that the two men will meet
in Just such a duel the winner being left
to WOO the lady, unchallenged by the loser,
for specified period. Then if no definite
decision has been made by the woman in
yellow" the other man may go to IL once
more.
Newport is watching the whole affair
with gleeful eyes, for there is a good deal
of amusement in the whole thing, and then
there is the element of chance to be con-
sidered, and on this Newport has one last
word to say:
"It is always possible, Of course, that
Ethel may choose neither the winner nor
the loser, but an entirely different man Of
whom we know nothing! We do know,
however, that she will marry again, be-
cause she is the type Of woman over which
men 60 mad!"

distinction, fell in love with the flaming
young debutante.
After their marriage the Cushings made
New York their Winter residence and went
to Newport for the Summers. The wife'5
coloring and personality became the
painters inspiration and he used her al
most exclusively as his model Sometimes
he painted her in brilliant crimson, agar
in emerald green, still again he made her
famous as the woman in Yellow"
In one Of his portraits Cushing empha-
sized the Oriental strain that was oftimes
apparent in his wife's beauty, and then old
Bostonians delved back in their memories
in an effort to discern how Ethel Cochrane
came by this strain. They did not appre-
ciate the imaginative power Of the artist!
In their New York home the Cushlngs
gave informal semi-Bohemian parties and
gradually gathered a following Of the
painters and allied arts about them. But
always Mrs Gushing was strong for her
social life, and in Newport chung only to
the conservative element.
And now she is all for this one social
element and has dropped all others. Mr..
Cushing died very suddenly two years ago,
and his widow has worn mourning until
this Summer II is doubtful, however, #
she ever goes back to the exotic colors that
Cushing loved to have her wear and in
which he always painted her.
There is no telling, Of course, what effect
a second marriage will have on the lady,
for other men than the painter-husband
have raved over Mrs. Cushing's choice of
colors, not realizing that if left to herself
she would wear pastel shades entirely!
And it happens that both Mr. Burden and
Mr.. Douglas are keen on bright colors.
Newport is giving mighty little heed to
the color question, all its attention is
focused on the one thrilling problem of the
lady and her partners. Aside from their
tennis prowess the two men stand about
an even chance. Burden has somewhat
the best OF it financially and, Of course, he
is a bona fide widower, as against Gordon's
divorce. But what is a divorce nowadays
between friends? Mrs. Cushing is too
liberal minded to let that be a detriment.
No, it is the tennis that must decide
Burden carried her to victory last Summer,
and ere Douglas has done the same this
year. It looks like stand-off, but It is not
after all. Last years tennis, with tn best
men of to the war, was not nearly so stiff

soon learned, and many commiserating
glances were cast Mrs Burdens way. But
in a way the lady gave her former partner
his chance, for she took to motoring with
him on late afternoons. 1t seemed as
though she wanted him to realize that
while she must play tennis with Douglas,
she wanted to keep his devotion as we'll

In between-times, Mrs. Cushing, who has
a large fortune and a charming house out
on the rocks near Bailey's Beach, kept up
her social end by giving small dinners and
luncheons and always her two playmates
were among those present
While that part of New York society
which goes to Lenox, Bar Harbor and other
places than Newport in the Summer was
intensely surprised to hear Of Mrs. Cush-
ing's change of partners, it Vas not sur

large barges instead of the custom

Paris may become serious if the rainy
weather continues. Villages and towns
in southeastern France are submerged
