George Ade Gets Fresh With Sk0w-

In the January Cosmopolitan, George
AIDE has his customary contribution of
New Fables in Slang. Mr. AIDE stages
this particular story in the garden of
a ospital for convalcscents of the
late war The heroine is Red Cross
nurse and the heroes are four wound
ed soldiers, French Poilu. a Briton,
an Italian and an American Mr.. AIDE
saws THE Yank hailed from Beatrice,
Nebraska, or Skowhegan, Maine
The article is illustrated. but the
figures thus shown are as grotesque
as one would expect to find In Mr..
AIDES fables AS these soldiers are
not specially attractive ~ 10 form and
features we are willng 10 take adyan-
ta"e of Mr. AIDES courtesy in allowing
IL chance to assume that they were
from Nebraska rather than from
Maine. Suffice it to say that neither
Cas-, Brooke Syme. Bob nor any
other of the finely figured youths that
went from Skowhegan ever sat for
these pictures. Nevertheless the dia-
loyue between the representatives, of
the four great nations is very bright
and entertaining, and perhaps we
ought to thank Mr. AIDE for giving
Skowhcgan this amount of free pub

RENT EVENTS CLUB.

The regular meeting Of the Current

at the home of Mrs. Everett Staples was
diverted from the usual routine and be-
came an assemblage intent upon the pal
liation of such discomfort as ensues from
passing yet another milestone on the road
to the supreme adventure. To the host
ess' table arranged for the function was
surreptitiously added sundry confections
which plainly emphasized the recent
emancipation from Mr.. Hoover's irksome
DEGREES of past seasons. Sounds of rev.
elry by day clearly indicated objects sue
cesstully attained; but the precise num-
Der OF candles which adorned the colossal
cake presented to the hostess remains a
cheerful secret, recorded only in the
archives of the organization. A heavy
tall OF damp snow failed to dampen the
enthusiasm of those present, but several
old and honored members of the club
were prevented by sickness from being in
attendance. Beside the hostess there were
Mrs. Alvah c. Treat, Mrs. Edgar M. COL
