play with a most charming host and hostess and Fritzi
 The lovely Frtzi came to the party declaring that she was too tired to talk: she couldn't eat a morsel; she never drank, and she couldn't stay long; all of these assertions turning directly into aff.rma:ives on short notice, which l rather sympathized with because I'm always doing that sort of thing myself and then telling my very toe nails'
 It was when Fritzi drifted into this talkative mood that evening that made the discovery that of her three hus- bands, the first, Freidrich Wilhelm Gus tave Carl von Bardeleben (wouldnt you just loathe and hate a man with as many names as that. to begin with John Fox, Jr., and her current hus- band, MT.

 Gay little butterfly that Fritzi is, law ishly praised by the newspapers, mak- ing her first American appearance at the Metropolitan opera, lauded and ad- mired, has heart, and John Fox heio it iR the hollow of his hand.
 One of the New York newspapers suS- gested that when John Fox married Fritzi, and dedicated that adorable book Of his, The Trail of the Lonesome Pine" to her. that it was case Of a devoted lover trying to make over the woman that he adored.
 Of course, the marriage was dismal failure, for Fritzi cared no more about rural life in the mountains, that John Fox loved, than any other footlight favorite, and bucolic things didn't ap- peal to her in the least. and friend husband" on the other hand must have grcwn rather tired of shining in her reflected glory as the husband of Fritzl scheff," when he had so much glory of his own.
 But the point I'm making is just this
 John Fox, Jr, was dead and gone these years when Fritzi had her Htue 'talkfest" here last season, but from it I gleamed that the only love she has ever known was for this brlillah, American, whose books have been reao and loved the wide world over

Washington. March s1.--fspecial)- )- That socalled West Point clique in the regular army is gunning for Maj Gen. James G. Harbord, Is the gist of the most interesting report in army circles since the inception of the present ad- ministration.
 It is generally known that the Seere- tary of War, John W. Weeks, has con c1uded to recommend to President Harding the appointment of General Harbord as successor to Mai Gen. Fey ton C. March, chief of staff. The West Pointers, who hold that nothing good can come out of any other place save West Point, are up in arms. General Harbord came from the ranks. His ca reer is one of the most notable, if not the most notable, in the recent history of the army.
 In 1889, he enlisted in the Fourth in fantry, and was promoted to corporal

 Little Fritzi proves a theory which has been advanced and that Is that there Is friendship in divorce, as well as in marriage. for she says of Mir, George Nj. Anderson that while he was "crueF and beat her up" when he was drinking and he drank to the price of $75 a week, that aside from this he was a most charming man"
 All of winch proves what I started out to say, and that is that the ladies of the stage who are now in the "di- vorce light" little Fritzi Scheff and Ethel Barrymore-Colt know when mot to talk"
 F-itzi had to say something in her pleae for a divorce and she has said little Ethel Barrymore has said less.
 The Barrymore Colts have been get ting along badly as far back as years ago, when they were here; the beauti- full Ethel was playing Mid Channel then and many wondered if she and MT.

Russell Colt showed very plainly that he likes the ladies'" and Ethel showed her little claws" several times when he was over zealous.

Four Hundred Depositors Meet and Declare Entire Confi- dence In InStitution-Un-
 fortunate Rumor

Fort Payne. March Especially It was definitely decided yesterday to reopen the Citizens Bank and Security company of this place a an early date when about 400 depositors met in the courthouse in response to call of President R. A. Burt for meeting to discuss the affairs of the bank and the propositions which had been set forth for reopening. The bank will open, it is said, within 30 days.
 Under the plan the larger depositors will take time certificates of deposit for their deposits thereby giving the bank the continued use of their money for a stated period of time. To meet possible withdrawals of the smaller deposstors, an additional stock sub scription is being raised and it is said that arrangements have already been made to secure more than enough

Fritzi ScheNps DiDorce

1M1oT very long ago widely read NN New York newspaper ran headline all the way across the paper with the startling announcement:

 The prediction has started out to full fill it's promise, it would seem, for with the Stillmans and the Stokes and the Barrymore-Colts, and pugnacious little Fritzi Scheff and her most recent htls- band.
