John Barleycorn turned up his toes
on Friday. At eight O'clock that
morning the forces of the directors of
federal prohibition were afeld all over
the country looking for violators of
the constitutional amendment which
went into effect. The day dreaded
by so many Americans was preceded
by several events that caused vets
preliminary distress. The Supreme
court destroyed one Of their hopes by
refusing to permit the New Jersey
liquor dealers to institute original
proceedings in that court to test the
cOnstitutOnality of the prohibition
amendment. The court decided 1t
had no jurisdiction. Next the inter
nal revenue office announced that
after Friday no liquor might be kept
except I'm government bonded ware
houses or in homes. A general move
ment of bottles and jugs from club
lockers and hotels to residences be-
gan forthwith, and the officials were
kind enough not to enforce the pro-
visions against the transportation of

One-haif of 1 per cent of alcohol and

Presidential politics is humming
these days, and the contest among the
candidates for the head of the ticket,
especially the Republican ticket, is
growing mighty lively. The managers
and scouts Of each of the chief con-
tenders are hustling around after
delegations and the headquarters are
the scenes of almost continuous con-
ferenccS. General Wood Governor
Lowden and Senator Harding seem to
be leading the field, but the others are
not idle or hopeless by any means.
1t is n notable fact that women are
taking a prominent part in the cam
paign The Democrats are still rest
ing under the shadow Of the third
term possibility.
Herbert Hoover is looked at with the
appraisiug eyes of the Warwicks Of

Barnes, his close friend, declares Mr.
Hoover is a progressive Republican"
who "will never allow himself to be n
candidate for high office nor allow
his friends TO make an effort in his
behalf. unless there shall come such
indisputable evidence of such Spon-
tnneous and universal popular demand
that II will Overwhelm his present
resolution not TO enter politics. From
which It may be deduced that Mr..
Hoover is almost in the conventional
receptive mood.

The Big Event

TN MANY parts Of this country, especially
rural New England, the passing OF
railway train is still a matter Of public
interest quite astonishing to visitors from
the city. This summer three women FROM
Boston rented an abandoned farmhouse in
northern New England, in q region devoted
to dairying. One warm day they walked
through the rocky pastures to a farmhouse
three miles distant, in quest of a two weeks
supply of butter.
On learning that they had come through
the fields, the farmers wife exclaimed,
why, you can't 60 back that way alone!

BOUDOIR CAP COUNTRY

DERHAPS it is so in other places; GER
L tainly in this historic city there are vast
areas where the boudoir cap is supreme.
Like the red cotton nightcap immortalized
by Browning, it ''lingers along past the
abstemious meal Of morning; fingers, in
fact, on many heads until evening. I had
long been dimly aware of this, but it came
upon me with fresh significance one day, In
our local market, when / suddenly realized
that Of the seven housewives waiting their

lacy loveliness. In our square, where
boudoirs occur only in the movies, Mrs. John

where she convinced him very quickly that 1t
would be to their mutual advantage to get
married. Then she went to the telephone,
asked her brothers consent, which the latter
was too astonished to withhold, and armed
with this weapon, she burst into the pres
ence of her mother, and surprised the latter
as well as the Princess Eugenie, by declar-
ing to the two ladies that she and her cousin
Peter had become engaged. OF course the
two royal danes could only say yes, and
thus it was that Olga Alexandrovna's tate
was fixed and settled for the immediate fu'
ture.
Her marriage was solemnized a few weeks
later in the private chapel of the imperial
castle Of Gatschina, and gave rise to many
comments in st. Petersburg society. The
Grand Duchess was supposed to have been
sacrificed to considerations of fortune and
ambition, and she was pitied by all the am
bilious mothers who would have liked moth
Ing better than for their own daughters to
win the heart Of Prince Peter Of oldenburg.
The newly married couple settled in ST.
Petersburg in beautiful house which vas
bought for the Grand Duchess, and presented
to her as a wedding gift by the Gar, and
Olga Alexandrovna shocked the whole So
ciety of the capital by shaking of all the
trammels of etiquette which surrounded
members Of the imperial family, and by lead :
ing the existence of any great lady Of wealth,
going out alone and unattended, paying visits
to her friends, and attending the parties
which they gave. Naturally this gave
rise to much talk and comment, and all the
Russian dowagers criticized her freely, and
censured her severely. But she was an eK-
ceedingly fascinating little lady, and she
made for herself friends wherever she went
and even in the case when once she was
caught drinking tea with smart young
guardsman in his private apartment. she
escaped with nothing worse than a scolding
from her mother, whilst the Gar simply
shook his finger at her, and laughed heartily
