PARlOUS TIMES.
BY Roy x. Moulton

PARIOUS TIMES.
So far as styles
Are concerned.
These are parlous times.
For instance.
We witnessed an embarrassing
incident in street car
Yesterday.
A gentleman who
. Probably had the kindest
Intentions in the world,
Saw a little girl
Standing up and offered
To take her on his lap.
She gave him a naughty stare
And what she said will not
Be published here.
She was not a little girl
At all, but a lady who
Was about the same age
AS the kind gentleman.
You can not tell nowadays
BY the skirts.

The greatest word in the English
language is "wonderful.''
When used by the so-called weaker
sex it possesses a punch that is a
sure-fire knockout. A mans lady
friend can tell him that he is hand
some and he perhaps does not believe
her. She can tell him that he is hon
est and he experiences no thrill. She
can tell him that he is good and he
mildly agrees with her. But when she
gazes into his eyes, and with a trcm-
BILE in her voice, pulls that ancient
wheeze: Dear. you are wonderful"
he hits the ceiling with crash, be-
cause in nine cases out Of ten, he
knows she is speaking the truth when
she says it.

Washington, Oct. 14.--President
Wilson apparently expects to live in
Washington after next March. He IL
understood to be looking for home in
a quiet suburban section where he can
pursue his literary labors undisturbcd.
1t is said that President and Mrs.
Wilson have inspected home in Edge
moor. near suburb Of Washington,
and during the last few days have also
driven into other sections, presumably
house hunting.
In Washington Mr.. Wilson would be
close to sources of information concern
ing the great events in which he has
participated, and these would be neces -
sary to his historical and literary la 50
bors.
While the President knows at first
hand many of the things as yet untold
in connection with the early period Of
the war, before the United States en-
tered, and has copies of the communi-
cations that passed between this gov :
ernment and Germany, other informa :
ton that he probably would require
is on file in the archives of the State
Department.
The President is enjoying these
pleasant October days in drives in an
open victoria. The other day he ap-

PONzPS WIFE SCRUBS
Lexington Mansion Still Remains

Boston, Mass, Oct. IA. - Mrs.
Charles Ponzi, pretty young wife of the
ex wizard, who few short weeks ago
was mistress of fine Lexington man
sion, drove about in her limousine and
had millions at her disposal, is now
welding the scrubbing brush as one
means of making both ends meet.
She still lives in the Lexington man
sion, for which she is paying no rental
and does not know what day she may
be ordered out. Whenever she has oc-
casion to go out she travels in the street
car. The limousine aud the liveried
chauffeur are things Of the past. She
declares she likes to do it, never having
cared for the millions. and is looking
eagerly forward to the day when her
husband, of whose innocence she pro-
fesses no doubt, will again be with her.
"A man needs just to lose his
money" says Mrs. Ponzi, 'to have his
wife find the true friends from the
false. Last July. when the world was
looking on at my husband, who had
made millions in months, everybody was
my friend and everybody was inviting
us to join clubs and lend our names to
