WILSON TO MONTE cRIsTo?

Le Figaro, Paris, reports a rumor current abroad that Woodrow Will son intends to purchase the storied island of Monte Cristo from the king of Italy. As there is only one house on the island. and that belongs to Victor Emmanuel, no question of eif-determination would likely be involved
 It is strange thing how such rumors become vocal. Perhaps Mir. Wilson told Clemenceau or somebody that it would be nice to own Monte Cristo; or perhaps NJ. Clemenceau told somebody else that it would be nice if Mir. Wilson were on Monte Cristo. Something like that. You can't tell how these things start.
 Monte Cristo isn't a pretty place; it isn't one of the Mediterranean jew els. There are stern and rockbound coasts, thousand odd acres of arid soil, one house. and sea view One fancies that the wind often howls about the caves of Victor Emmanuel s shack, and that there are drear low hung clouds and memories of Dumas and perhaps a solitary fisherman suf- fering from leprosy or glanders or whatever fleshly ill may be indigo nous to the soil.
 MT. Wilson would like to retire there when he quits public life,'' Le Figaro surmises. Certainly, nothing would disturb his melancholy reflec- tions in that retreat. He would have abundant leisure to admire in soli- tude his masterpiece, today so much discussed. Monte Cristo would af- ford him ideal and absolute solitude. But would this solitude please Mir. Wilson? To be sure, France is close by"

Just See What a Lovely Romance Grew Out of the Cooking School

''Oh, we've been married for six months"
 You married," Mrs Chase's as- tonishment was unmistakable. Why. you don't look as if you, had care in the world
 T haven't. Why should I when l know how to bake and to cook? see our home.'
 Of course, Mrs. Chase went. She had a proprietary interest in that home. It was a beautiful bungalow of five rooms, furnished with a view to the proper division of the family re- sources of time and strength, money and recreation. The kitchen was a joy. wonderfully compact and con- venient sweet and clean. The only smudge spot in it was a much thumbed leaflet hung above the work table, and from its soiled cover. Mrs. Chases own pictured countenance smiled back at her. It evidently had smiled encouragement and inspiration to the brave little housewife many time and solved again and again her various cookery questions.
 She opened a drawer in her kitchen cabinet and took out a fat note book.
 See, these are the things you taught us last year. They have helped me every single day of our happy married life. My nice young man admires you just as much as l do, and he is getting up early these mornings to help me get the work done so I won't have to miss one of your lectures this year"
 Who says life is prosaic. when even a travelling cook" as Mrs. Chase calls herself sometimes, can bring about such a beautiful romance as this?
 Phoenix girls who want to 'go and do likewise" will have the oppor- tunity next week. Mrs. Chase will lecture every afternoon at the Shrine auditorium. Girls are invited to come and bring their mothers; moth CTS are urged to come and bring their daughters. Every woman in Phoenix is invited.
