happened lately in Eastern Club
Circles, among the patriotic women
of the country, and especially in
New York society, more interesting
than the announcement of the can
didacy of Mrs. William Cummings
Story for the position of President
General of the Daughters of the
American Revolution. She has been
known for years to the public as the
Purple Lady of Patriotism. This
expression rose from her penchant
for purple pattire, never being
seen in any other color and the fact
that she has probably been identi-
tied in an Important capacity in
meor American patriotic endeavors
than any other woman in the coun-
try. Mrs. Story was President Cen
eral of the .: A. R. for two success
slve terms, from 1913 to 1917. Dur
ing thase unsettled days she stood
for a militant policy prepared
ness, and in so doing brought down
the wrath of the Pacifst agitators
upon her. She nav has acceeded to
a demand from large portion of
the membership that she 90 before
the Daughters again for the same
honor, declaring that the policy of
the Society ha snot sustained the
work she undertook during her in
cumbency,an d warning the member
ship that there is a greater work Of
preparedness against the danger of |
radicalism than ever existed in her
old fighting days. The fight she will
wage for election will eclipse any
other woman's activity during the
coming months.
1t doesn't help a dog cut much
to belong to family of wealth. His
troubles are as bitter as those of the
tenements. Mrs. William K. Van
derbuilt was one of the eleven dog
owners fined 81 each in court the
other day for permitting her pet
to go unmuzzled. She arranged for
the payment of the fine alroght, SO
the dog wasn't put in jail, but he
can go free of muzzles no more.
What our street cleaners will do
when the last vechile has been mot
orized, | can't imagine. The "white
wings" never oil their little push
carts before they start out. Prob
ably the city doesn't supply the
grease for them. But they have
simple way of getting it when the
wheels begin to creek to mournfully.
Getting caught in traffic stop at =
they maneuyer their carts to
the isde of some horse drawn truck
and with stick dig out the excess
grease from the hub of the larger
5echile and smear it on their own
ixles.
