EXPLAINING THAT 80 CENTS
Champ Clark Wanted to Know About
IL, and the Clerk Gave Him
the information.

Champ Clark likes shirts that have
q small red stripe. Not long ago he
went into the shop of a Washington
haberdasher to buy a dress shirt. Sc
lecting one, he gave the clerk $40
bill, a1d while waiting for his change

displayed. But let the former speaker

"'Give me that and take 1t out Of

"When he came back with the

called his attention to it.
"'You are gouging me. What is that

sprang up and walked hastily away
along the park path. Wondering
what it was all about, l watched him
out of sight around turning Of the
asphalt and then glanced toward the
apartment house where in few min
utes was to be a guest.
AS I looked a young girl came out
of the house and walked slowly to-
ward the park. AT the corner she
hesitated. She seemed to be debating
whether to continue on down the ave-
nue. or to turn into the park. Appar-
emily the lure Of the greenery won her,
for she came on slowly toward where
l was sitting. AS she drew nearer |
observed her with interest. for she
was one Of the prettiest girls ever
had seen. Her slim figure, her dainty
ankles, her carriage, everything about
her suggested the patriCian. Her face,
rosy and youthful, was set off by a
jaunty feathered tOque, from under
which a pair of soft, black, roguish
eyes, shaded by long ,lashes, looked
out above a dainty nose, just bit
tip tilted, on either side Of which a
fugitive dimple played.
To my great amazement she walked
right up to me and stopped short. l
observed then that she seemed to be
greatly agitated. Involuntarily /
sprang to my feet and removed my
hat, feeling certain that she had mis-
taken me for someone else.
She looked straight at me with an
odd tightening of the lips. Into her
great dark eyes came look in which
pride and fear seemed to mingle with
utter loathing.
"I am here" she said.
In nv confusion l mumbled some
thing, I hardly knew what. She look

CHANGES IN spain
Nation Has Formed Liking for
Outdoor Sports.
War Started the Movement, and Its
Popularity Does Not Seem to
Have Greatly Abated With
Advent of Peace.

While the war was absorbing the at
tentiOn of the English, sport in gen.
eral and polo and horse racing in par
ticular took refuge in Spain under the
protection of King Alfonso. 1t seems
that the coming Of peace and the re-
turn Of the sport to England and
France has not found the Spaniards
willing to let 60 of their new outdoor
accomplishments. Rather, they have
gone in for more Of them. A writer in
the London Daily Mail, acting as cor
respondent in Madrid, says:
"The duenna is doomed. Also the
semi-oriental system she represented.
"The death warrant was signed
when the senoritas of Madrid took to
playing tennis and golf, to skiing in
the Sierra and to travelling in a side
car.
Hence also the collapse of the car
nival as it used to be. 1t is an anti
quated survival of the days when lad
could meet lass without the duenna at
only one short season in the year, and
the mask was fondly supposed to con-
ceal identity.
I'm addition to taking up more and
more all the sports familiar elsewhere,
the MadriIene ladies have one Of their
own; a sort of racquets played in a
ieu-de-paume (pelOta) court, but
without the basketwOrk cestus. They
use tennis rackets and the courts are
always full.
Lately they have begun to steer
their own cars, too, though that sport
is not encouraged for them by the
reckless speeds permitted in big
Spanish cities.
"a glance at any leading Madrid pa
per will show whittier young male
Spain is tending. Not only are golf
courses arising outside all Of the resi-
Dental cities, but other exOtics like
polo are increasingly popular with the
gilt-edged youth. Madrid, Barcelona
and other centers hum with motor
traffic, and big sidecar outfits are all
over the place.
"In one thing young Spain appears
not TO be changing-the modesty OF
her daughters and the abstemiousnesS
Of her sons. A few days ago made
round of all the amusement places
in Seville, beginning with a sort OF
musical costume play (the very tune

'Not so loud" l warned her, fear
