Did the gentlemen in the case bid for her friendship en masse, or did they follow one another in the orthodox American way? These, and a hun dred like speculations. intrigue the inquirer. who finds his curiosity in creasing as his surmises take added number. Were they all blondes, or all brunettes, or did the lady have a varying fancy? Perhaps we shall never know, but, thank heavens. no one can take from us our privilege of guessing.
 On thing is certain. at least to Ye Editor of The Comeback Mime. Val lombrosa is a champion of the first water. She has won the rubber toothpick and the furlined dinner set. She has set a mark for the ambitious wives of the world to shoot at, and she may be certain it will be un- touched for quite a little time.
 To M. Vallombrosa go our sympa- thies, and, in some measure, our con- gratulations. He has made his mark, and he has set a warning that was needed. All of us may have wives. Only one or two may have a cham pion.

 With feet of music through the

 Come match your glory with the suns. And breathe with me a thousand

 The dawn is like an azure door
 Flung open wide for us to flee, And watch along the surf ringed shore The heaving jewel of the sea. And we will find some coral cave,
 Where you shall doff your linen fair By the foam-lrpped up-running wave, And free the marvel of your hair. And match your whiteness with the

 And match your strange eyes with

 And. like nereid. you shall sway

Both legs should be as far above the "seelevel" as possible.
 One can get the same exercise flyswatting as playing tennis. but the managing editors don't consider the pictures as thrilling.
 The country is becoming quite tennis mad All the "athuletic gurls" are doing it, and the first question one asks in inquiring about young woman today is, "How far can she jump?" If she can't leap Is feet in the presence of a photographer she is excluded from the worthwhile set.
 The newspaper photographers hunt women tennis stars the way hunters hunt quail. They stroll out into the country watching for the "rise.' The moment they behold a white figure in full flight, they shoot with deadly accuracy. seldom missing garter

WOMEN TENNIS STARS

American women, it is emphasized more and more each day, are getting into positions formerly occupied by men. Which doesn't need any more convincing proof that the pictures of feminine tennis stars in the pho togravure sections. Rare is the young woman who is pictured in the newspapers these days with both feet on the ground and her hands in her lap.
 A glance at the old family album will show that the girls were con- sidered properly posed in the old days when they were sitting in a rocker with their knitting, standing near the grape ;arbor with a cat, or leaning against the piano lessons in the front parlor. And they were as a rule fully dressed. including necks and ankles.
 Today she isn't considered worth the passing attention of a regular union photographer unless she has both feet at least ten feet off the earth. her general pose being that of a wild Bulgarian pinwheel in pursuit of a hysterical mate.
 Of course girl still can get her picture in the papers by the standard system of shooting a husband or running away with one. but the one surefire way to stampede the pho tographer is to don a white suit. grab a racquet, and practice tying herself in sailors knot while trying for a new altitude record from a standing start.

Price: Tutl Tut!

A S THE philosopher remarked
 after the late Dempsey -Carpen- tier difficulty, There are champions and champions" The prize ring, the athletic field. the turf. the tennis court and the baseball diamond have their champions. and even among the pie eaters and the consumers of near beer there are those who have merit ed the designation. The champion ship horseshoe pitching contest has been held recently, and connoisseurs of fashions are looking for the bare knee champion.
 There are, therefore. champions and champions. They litter up the pictorial sections: they fill the sport pages, and once in a while they get place even on the front page. We are used to them-but we are not used to a variety news of which has just come from France. That this cham pion is a woman is to be expected not from any consideration of her title, but from the mere fact that feminine champions are becoming quite the thing.
 The new champion is Mime. Val lombrosa, wife of a Parisian who is now making his bid for fame as his wifes husband. NJ. Nallombrosa is suing for divorce and in this does the matter of the championship appear, for he has named 43 separate and distinct correspondent, and until time of going to press Mme Vallombrosa has not denied the soft impeachment.
 Forty-thre correspondents, with perhaps more to be named as the case progresses! Surely this is a record. and the laurels are gone for ever from the Ec WIS of Lillian Rus sell and De Wolf Hopper and Nat Goodwin. who have bid fair to hang up records that would last until a modification of the divorce laws.
 How NJ. Nallombrosa has been able to keep an accurate record of the 43 who may achieve permanent niche in history as the famous 43 we are not informed. We may be- lieVe, however, from the premises that M. VallombFosa is a man of slow | thought processes, for we know | thousand American husbands who have become exceedingly active after discovery just one correspondent, and

 "AIl the Nogales hotels are crowd ed today. with visitors here from Phoenix, Tucson. Bisbee. Globe, Douglas and other points who have come down to spend Labor day in Nogales.
