LETTERS OF TEsSIE AND JOE

Dear Joe.
Well Joe my Cousin Grnce il of the
shelf at last. The wedding WAS solcmnat-
ed this afternoon at the home Of the bride
and now there are two more hearts that
beat ms one, POLITICALLY speaking, because
AS a cold matter of truth even II Grace Is
my cousin her and | are as opposite as
two Poles and doubt if she'll make her
husband the wife that I've made you.
Not that / wish TO cast any asparagrass
at my own cousin, but it's exceptional to
find more than one perfect wife in the
same family, and it's not Grace's fault
if nature favored me Mt her expense.
II WAS q real nice wedding, though a
little embarrassing due to the minister
suffering slightly but not enough to
make him actually illcgible. Your mother
came over to mind Baby while ] was
away Il gave her lot of instructions
and would of gave her a lot more if she
haden't threatened to go right home
again. Well when the decd WAS done
and the men were all showing to kiss the
bride, that fresh May Ditson calls out,
''Hey, girls, let's be modern. How about
all the ladies kissing the groomY' I'm
willing" says Grace's new husband a
little too impulsively, it seemed to me,
for man that hadn't hardly been mar
ried few seconds.
Anyway, Joe, the first one he made a
break for was me. Don't you feel flat
tered? He's real handsome, too, with one
of those little mustaches that get In
the way just enough without being OBJ
trisive, though needless TO say, Joe,
handsomeness is only a small detail and
I'd 10 times rather of been kissing, you
at the time.
The presents was all laid out IN the
sitting room and near lost an eye look
ing for the pickle dish sent at your sug-
gestion. Finally located it barely visible
under lace dolly. i don't know whether
it was put there intentional or not, but
anyways took it and put it on top OF the
dolly with our card propped up con-
spicuous and it certainly did look impor-
tant for it's sizc, Joe. The next time
looked it WAS underneath again, leading
me to suppose it was intentional after all.
However, ! pulled it right out on top
again Just to show there's nothing petty
about me.
Keep your health and your enthusiasm
for Daisy Canned Soups. Somebody's
got to be enthusiastic over them.
Love from
Tessie

mony.

spent large part of every year there,
and was married from the Chateau to
Quesnay, her stepfather's residence, near
Paris. There is, therefore, ground for
calling her resident of France. On the
other hand, her husband, Ogden l.. Mills.
appears to be resident of America, for
he was until recently Senator in the
New York legislature, and has since then
been acting as treasurer Of the Republic
can county comm ttee in New York.
Even more surprising was the di-
vorce of Mrs. Leonard Thomas, who
was the beautiful Blanche Oleirichs
from her husband, who inherited his
wealth from the great Drexel banking
Thomas admitted she had obtained a
divorce in Paris and made this state
mentl
Eyes. it is true we are divorced. But
the divorce was franted many months
ago"
American society had known that
the Thomases were living apart, but
did not learn for months that a divorce
had been granted.
The divorce obtained in Paris by
Mrs. Joseph A. Blake, formerly Mr..
Clarence Mackay, appears to have serveds
as a fruitful hint to other American
women desiring freedom. When Mrs.
Mackey first became estranged from
her multimillionaire husband in America
she was threatened with all kinds of
unpleasant complications. Mrs. Cath
crime Ketchum Blake instituted a 81 :
600 600 damage suit against Mrs. Mackay
for alternating the affections of Mrs.
Blake's husband, DR.. Joseph A. Blake,
the famous surgeon. Although the suit
was withdrawn, the proceedings caused
Mrs. Mackay much annoyance and
distress. :
MOVED TO rARrs.
Mrs. Mackay then established a
residence in Maine and society under
stood that she was going to sue for n
divorce there, but this course evidently
presented some Inconvenience. Quite
unexpectedly she moved to Paris, and
within a few months obtained her di-
vorce there.
1t is not to be expected that all French
divorces will pass without question by
children, heirs and other persons con-
cerned. Mrs. Frank j. Gould (who was
the actress, Edith. Kelly has already
raised the question. She has brought suit
for divorce in America against her hus-
band, despite the fact that he had OBJ
tanned a divorce in France.
Mrs Gould asks her divorce IN this
country on the ground that she and her
husband were not doniciled in France
when the divorce was obtained, and that
it was stated in the decree that her hus-
bands domicile was Tarrytown, N. Y.
Consequently, she alleges, the French
courts could not have had jurisdiction.
When inquiry was made of a prominent
New York fawyer who has had much ex-
perience with French law as to the
validity of divorce obtained by American
citizens in France, he said:
1T is impossible to make general and
dependable statement on that point. |
understand that if French divorce has
fulfilled the essential conditions required
by the New York courts IT will be held
valid in New York as one obtained IN
another American State"

COUNT YOUR STEPS.

The manager Of famous hotol
restaurant once went to considernble
pain to count the exact number o stops
taken by waiter in serving an average
dinner 70 table of four persons. And he
found that great many of these steps
might have been avoided had thare been
some trifling differences in tho arrange
ment Of the pantry and kitchen. His esti-
nation of steps led TO those changes that
very much added TO the convenience OF
the hotel diniDgroom and kitchon en-
ploycs.
Did you evur count your own steps3
Count the steps that you take TO get from
your kitchen stove 70 your dimnHoom
table. Count tho number OF steps that
you take to got from your kitchen To your
telephone, from your kitchen to your
front door. You would bc surprised to
know how much of the ho,lsewifc's time
and energy are spent simply in walking
from this place TO that and how much
more quickly and easily she could do her
work were the equipment and rooms
arranged so as TO require minimum OF
stepping
OF course most Of us cannot design our
own kitchens or our own houses. But
most Of us can rcarrange our kitchen and
diningroom furniture, and it ia within the
reach of many to have slight alterations
made-s,ich as the placing Of door here,
shelf for dishes there, or a cupboard
there-that would simplify the task of
housekeeping.
. And of course many steps would be
saved if you get into the habit of making
"your head save your heels, as the old
time housewife used to say. Plan your
work so that you do your upstairs tasks
all at once and at a time when you will
probably not be wanted down stairs.
Often in the early morning before the
arrival of tradesmen is the best time for

PRESIDENT OF BRYN MAWR
BACK TO CAST HER BALLOT

After a fifteen months tour of the
world. Miss Nj. Carey Thomas presi-
dent of Brvn Mawr College, has return
ed. she SAYS, TO cast her first ballot as an
enfranchised citizen.
The woman, voter she says, viii be a
potential factor in the United States
future political development.
II believe all women who can pos
siblv do So" said Miss Thomas, will
vote this year. They will not wait gradual
" to exercise their new privilege. They
will take UP the ballot immediately, as
did their sisters in England"
Miss Thomas arrived at New York
Friday, and returned to Bryn MawT L Q
Saturday. Her friends presented h,
name TO the registrars IN Bryn Mawr,
and paid her poll tax, SO that she may
vote at the Presidential election.
Active charge Of the college imme-
diately viii be taken over by Miss tn mas.
In her absence, tie college was IN charge
of Mrs. Frederick ]. Manning, who WAS
Miss Helen Taft, daughter of former
President Taft.
IL have just come from England,
where women are already voting SAID
Miss Thomas, "and found the English
women much surprised that the Amerl-
can women, whom they consider lead
ers In everything, are but now begin
ming to vote all over the country. II
was a matter of much regret to English
women that the American women have
not had the vote for a long time.
Miss Thomas spoke with delight of the
splendid work of the American teachers
abroad, and especially of the Bryn MawT
graduates, even in such a far and un-
stable place as Beirut, In Syria. All
through this country, said Miss Thomas,
the work being done by the American
mission colleges was excellent.
She said that in the Near East there
was a great deal of unrest and fighting.
that the day after she had left Damascus
the railway lines had been cut and the
fighting between the Turkish, French and
British forces had begun.
Asked what sentiment she had found
In England and France toward Amer
lea, Miss Thomas said:
'1t is very friendly"
During her travels through the French
colonies in Northern Africa, Miss Thomas
said, she was strongly impressed by the
attitude of the natives toward France
which was of sympathy and love Of that
nations rule.
II think that in time, although it is
hardly the case at present, France will
be able to accomplish the same result In
Syria" said Miss Thomas
She then spoke highly Of fBritish man
agement Of. Palestine, saying that the
land was orderly, quiet and safe, decided
contrast with other parts of the Near East
Progress made towards reconstruc
