It was with delicate and tender cour-

Wilson called at the White House a
few weeks ago so that they might
make known to the president their
own concern occasioned by the illness
Of Mrs. Harding, says the New York
Mail. Undoubtedly they also were in

Presumably the wife who accom-
panies a president to the White House
hears sooner or later of the expert

predecessors as mistress of the execu-

White House is to be occupied with Il
vocation many features of which are
unknown to the public. Many have
been impaired in health. Three or
four were so invalided as to MAKE il.

French Women Buy
Perfume With Care

The great secret of the successful
use of scents is in the knowledge of
just how little to use. A soupcon of
perfume is a delight; a whiff is a
horror. And none has realized this
art better than the French woman.
She buys her perfumes with as much
care and thought as she buys her f,lrs
or her jewels. She chooses n scent
in particular and Keeps to it, and ! he
will not be put off with an Inferior
quality or a different make. In Paris
what strikes the visitor In the boule-
Yards is the extraordinary number of
shops given up to the display of per-
fumes alone. There appears to be as
many parfumeries as there are cafes,
and that is saying a lot. Surely. one
thinks, every woman in Paris must use
scent. And so she does. Rich or
poor, the French woman loves to add
just a suspicion of her favorite scent
as in all sartorial affairs thu fashions
change, so does the taste for perfumes
change. This year the fancy runs to
essences of lavender, wallflower and
rose. The smallest bottle costs nearly
20 francs. In order not to waste the
slightest drop, a spray is used, and
of these a large variety is always to
be bought in any parfumerie. Out
side one of the large shops in a Paris
boulevard are two d~olphins in relief
placed head downward on the wall.
The stranger is at first puzzled to See
passers-by go solemnly up to one of
these figures. press a handkerchief
into a dolphin's snout and walk off
with a free govt d'eau de Cologne. A
tiny govt it is, but quite sufficient to
advertise the excellence of the par
fumerie's scent, and few visitors resist
the impulse to enter the shop and pur-
chase a bottle.

Of the fates that decide that some

needed or that another shall fail
when failure is most costly can a
preference be made.
OF course, it is by the arrange
ment and distribution of the batting
strength that a manager obtains the
most possible out of his team, and
the actual attacking value of a ball
club must be gauged by what the

be given to their offensive abilities

their average batting strength.
On the latter basis the New York
Yankees lead the Giants by one

LEGION EXPOSE
OF WAR SALES
Beef That Cost Government 43.o,
Sold For 1.6 And Resold To
Government For 81

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.--The gov
ernment paid 43.8 cents a pound for
roast beef which was later sold 10
Philadelphia brokers for 10 cents;
once. in private hands, this beef went
on the market at 81 cents a pounG
wholesale; but for the short time that
! the army was in the retail store busl-
ness, it sold this same beef direct to
the consumer for more than 81 Genus
pound. Such was only one minor
item in one sale.
This charge was made public here
today by American Legion officials
! in announcing that the American Le-
gion Weekly next Friday, in an eX-
pose of war and postwar profteering
in meat, sugar and mosquito bars,
will declare that official Washington
is considering the replacement of in
competent men and the punishment
of the dishonest.
The article in the legion publica-
! ton was written by Marquis James
following weeks of investigation and
says in part:
'Tn a transaction between the
Quartcrmaster Corps and Thomas
Roberts & Co., brokers of Philadel-
phia, 5,630,466 pounds of roast beef
which cost 43,8 a pound was sold for
1.6 cents, netting neat profit of u
shade under 600 per cent, the gov
ernment standing the loss, which
amounted to $2,392,948. 05.
"The foregoing is only minor
item in one sale to this fortunate
Philadelphia firm.
"The War Department, praising the
superior sagacity of it's former Direc-
tor of Sales, E. c. Morse, two twice
indicted, calls his disposal of surplus
meat "a feat believed impossible.'
"Why the Roberts transaction,
which took place shortly after Mr..
Morse's retirement from government
service, and in which Mr. Morse S
private business associates participat-
ed, was not altogether impossible is
something that is hard to understand.
