NENAEA MATRON RETURNS
 FROM TOUR OF OLD WORLD

After a year spent in globe-trot- ting, Mrs. Elfrida Mellish has re- turned to Alaska with a beautiful line Of goods for the ladies. But the remarks she drops, unconsciously, re- veal something even more wonderful Europe-England, Sweden, Belgi T, France, Spain, Germany, Finland and South America. Her. conversa- 9ion is tinged with the wonders she has experienced in all these great countries. Her little mannerisms, the unconscious little traits borrowed from all-England, the first port 2f passage, the courtesy, e!e gentle manners--caused her to fall in love with them. One cannot fail to be hattered by their hnd-hearted at tention to newcomers, she says,
 Norway-highly educated; mod ishly dressed; spotless cleanliness no dilapitated houses. All freshly painted-the outer appearance does not belle in the inner furnishings and cleanliness Of this scrupulously clean and hardy race. -
 Sweden-What struck Mrs. Mellish in her home land was the evident prosperity which prevailed every where. Food products were as high as here, but plentiful nevertheless, There seemed less desire to imrni- grate-all doing well al home. Mrs, Mellish says Gottenberg, Sweden, is like one large park. In Stockholm she went through the kings palace. She was not disappointed in her dreams of what a palace should be,
 Finland-A united people. Work and united is the keynote Food, clothing and labor are cheap and money has low value. 4 regular dinner. with all the garnishings, can be procured for fifteen cents, Amer jean money. But they have strong love of country and the spirit that survives above the aftermath Of the war, Is one of courage and loyalty which will win by degrees-is bound to win. a
 Germany-The whole country Is under cultivation. Factories running full everywhere. Prosperity rules the land. No poverty, good spenders, eat ing, drinking, singing, dancing music everywhere. Money Is low but you can get lots for it. The uni forms of the railway employees was the only shabby thing that indicated even hint of poverty. The beer would cause one 70 revisit Germany -one cannot forget that.
 Belgium reminded Mrs. Mellisa of biblical descriptions of olden time countries. Belgium was different than any other country. Her archi- lecture was entirely her own. The buildings, like the people, gave out the impression that they had always been and would always be- The very atmosphere seemed to be permeated with the fine spirit Of bravery that knows not the word failure. To such, all things seemed possible.

WOMEN AND WORDS
Small Talk and Quick Talk a Female
Speciality, Says Linguist

According to one of the chief living
authorities on inguistics. Professor
Jespersen of Copenhagen, the speech of
women can be differentiated in several
ways from that of men. Women, he
notes. are quicker to understand, quicker
to utter what is in their minds
and quicker to answer than men; they
cOnfIne themselves, as rule. to the
more ordinary words in the language,
and avoid the reconcile and the new
but at the same time they are given to
leaving their sentences unfinished and
they are habitually voluble. The causes
Of this difference between the speech
or the talk of the two seves lie far back
in the oCCupatiOnal history of each; but
great social changes are now in progress,
which Professor JeSpcrsen thinks may
modify present contrasts.
One such change. among educated cir
cles at least: is perhaps already observ-
able. In the political field Helen is no
longer, as she used to be. on the walls
watching the combat. She has taken
up arms herself, and n consequence of
her action is that conversation. as it was
formally understood, seems to be in dan
ger of becoming a lost art Over the
dinner-table the discussion tends to be
more and more of things, politics, wiz
ardries. and less of human character and
human motives.
mere was time when our fathers
did not debate politics or the law with
their womenfok; nevertheless they
listened attentiyely when their women
ok chose to talk of the men and man
ners of the day. They understood that
her detachment from the actual strug-
gle gave woman n position to which
man could not aspire. She spoke in a
sense for the future; in another sense
her praise or blame amounted to a re-
estimation of character in terms of
values more enduring than political ext
geney. 1t was this detachment of wo-
men which made small-talk both interes-
ting and considerable.
No man of any Importance could es-
cape its acid purge; blatancy or bombast
withered quickly under it. The place
hunter, the crafty fellow, the mere babbler
soon found their level among the DANES
whose quick eyes discerned the man under
the actors cloak Now if woman still, in
her heart, discerns the man she does
not give him away, for she is committed
to a party, policy, which is his party.
his policE Argument has taken the
place of epigram; the brilliance the
sparkle are gone. The change may make
it safer for pretenders than in the old
days-a rather ungallant conclusion
prehaps, but one, it is TO be hoped, oil
only tempory validity.-London Times

Inning Game
BURKE EFFECTIVE;
DONOVAN WILD
In Spite of Soggy Field and Rain Only
Three Errors Are Made by Each Team

Gals in Stick Work.


If the players could have been fur
nished with water wings, the game be-
tween the local American Legion and the
Handy Kids of Springfield, Mass, played
yesterday afternoon on the fair grounds,
would have been even more enjoyed by
the fans who braved the rain to see the
game, but those who were there were
treated to some good baseball despite the
weather. The game was called at the
end of the seventh, with the score to
3 in favor of the locals, on account of
the rain, but up to that time only three
errors had been made by either teams.
which is unusual considering the playing
conditions.
The Kids hit the ball practically as
hard as the legionaires but the locals
got hits when they meant runs. This,
coupled with Donovan's wildness,
cinchcd the game. Burke pitched a good
game and was particularly effective with
men on bases. Donovan had a peculiar
form of delivery which was especially
effective in holding men on bases.
Yarker was there with the stick, get

four times at the plate. Austin was at
