PLEASANT AUTOMOBILE TRIP TO
WILMETTE LAST SUNDAY AFTER
NOON. EIGHT AUTOS JOINED IN
THE CALVALADE, WHICH WAS
HEADED BY HON. ADELBERT Fl.
ROBERTS.
THE PARTY WAS ROYALTY ENTER
TANNED BY SCULPTOR CHARLES
HAAG AND HIS WIFE, MRS. SOFIA
HAAG.

Last Sunday afternoon, eight auto
mobiles loaded down with men and
women left the Appomattox Club well
on towards four o'clock bound for the
beautiful home of the noted sculp-
turer, Mr.. and Mrs Charles Haag, at
Wilmette, where they had the extreme
honor and pleasure OF inspecting his
latest model which he is designing Of
the immortal Abraham Lincoln, under
the direction of Hon. A. H. Roberts,
member Of the Legislature Of Illinois
from the Third Senatorial District.
The following were the most prom
inent members of the auto party: Hon.
and Mrs. Adelbert H. Roberts, Mr..
and Mrs. VIM. J. Morsell, DIR. Fan
ME Emanuel, Mr.. and Mrs Mckinley
Emanuel, DR.. and Mrs. w. H. Davis,
Hon. and Mrs. J. Gray Lucas, Mr..
JuiiuS T. L dylOl, NOi. w. Z. ndOHiSOti,
Mr.. H. A. Watkins. Mrs. A. A.
Brown, Miss Edna Clanton, Mr.. Willis
". Jefferson, Mr.. "A. Vim, Mr.. How
ard Cornwell, DIR. Robert Fl. Har-
din, Mr.. Adolph Sims, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Francis c. Stradford.
The model of Mr.. Lincoln is yet in
a crude state. but when it is completed
it will represent a life sized figure Of
him for it will be 10 feet high from its
base to the top of the head of Mr..
Lincoln, which will be partly inclosed
with narrow strips of highly polished
bronze On each side, not far from
its base will contain drinking foun-
tain and on the front facing will con-
tain a figure of a beautiful young
colored woman. wreath, and a col
ored man, with broken chain fall
ing from his ankle as he is in the act
Of taking his first step toward freedom
or Liberty.
1t will be recalled that two years
ago, through the efforts of Mr..
Roberts, the Legislature of this state
set aside fifteen thousand dollars to be
expended in buying the eighty feet Of

ground adjoining the old Lincoln
homestead in Springfield and the cit
liens Of Springfield contributes three
thousand dollars to assist to beautify
il and Mr. Roberts being chairman Of
the subcommittee of the appropria
ton committee of the House of Rep
.resentatives OF Illinois places his OK.
on every dollar before Il i paid out in
any direction.
Therefore Mr.. Roberts is highly re-
solved to start movement on foot to
raise twenty-one thousand dollars from
the colored people Of Illinois to. be
used in erecting Fountain Of Liberty
right near the main entrance Of the
old home of Abraham Lincoln as out
lined above, the Fountain of Liberty
as stated before, will cost twenty-one
thousand dollars for the large size 10
feet high or fifteen thousand dollars
for one ii feet high. 1t will stand on
the Lincoln Highway which will ex-
tend~from President Lincoln's home
to his tomb and on to Salem, Illinois
and to other points which we're SO near
and dear to him when he was here on
earth. AS Abraham Lincoln accom-
plished more for the everlasting bene-
fit of the colored race than any other
human being in the world. the colored
people of Illinois should heartily join
in the laudable movements and assist
to raise the money to construct the
Fountain of Liberty to his memory
without calling on the white citizens
for aid. This is the first time in the
history Of the colored people to have
ever attempted to head any movement
with the sole aim or object Of perpet-
uating the name of Abraham Lincoln
for all time to come
Mr.. and Mrs. Haag were charming
hosts and in every way they made it
very pleasant for their guests. and
while Mr.. Haag is master scuIpturer,
his lovable and charming wife, Mrs.
Haag is also an artist and some of
her very artistic paintings and draw
ings adorn the walls Of their lovely
home.

Washington Mothers Decide to
Bar Girls From June Dances
at Annapolis.

Mind pictures of their denure
debutante daughters in their
stocking feet fleeing along the
Severn waterfront with Annapolis
midshipmen to avoid being caught
by a "Jimmy-leg" have decided
Washington mothers to prevent
their young girls from attending
the annual June week dances, it
was freely admitted in social cir
cles today.
Unscheduled Parties.
Decision of the mothers comes on
the heels of the startling disclosure
that several young District social
buds and their midshipmen escorts
unceremoniously left the ballroom
floor at the weekend dance at
Annapolis last Saturday night in
favor of clandestine canoeing par
ties and other unscheduled enter
tainment under an enticing half
moon.
When the Washington mothers
learned today that Lest A. w.
Denebrfnk, aide to Adn1lraT Wilson,
commandant at the academy,
planned to take no official cogni-
zance of the reckless spooning"
of last Saturday night they are said
to have been in huff and tool
the stand that they viii not permit
their daughters to risk similar
temptations in the future. -
The debutantes, themselves, who
have anticipated The June week
dances for many months, pouted
their shapely lips and heatetlly
charged that the expose OF their
harmless indiscretions" was due to
jealousy on the part OF heavy
drags" and "bricks" which is navy
parlance for girls who do not nuke
much of a hit.
1t is said the trouble started
when chaperons observed that many
of their charges were missing from
the dance floor a few minutes after
going down the receiving line.
Inquiry among the middies and
their "drags'' failed to explain the
mystery, and it was only through
accident that the real cause was
discovered.
Couple Elude Him.
1t apears that shortly after II:
when the dance ended, a Jimmy
leg" one Of the paid Waterman Of
the Academy, reported that he had
given chase to two couples return
ing from a canoe ride. The sea-
farers subsequently eluded him In
the darkness.
One girl, it is averred. fled in her
stocking feet, carrying a single
silver slipper. The other slipper
was found later beneath the
cushions in the bottom of the
canoe.
In view of the iron-clad rule that
no young woman and her escort
shall leave the ballroom after the
dance begins, the escape of such a
large number Saturday night has
created a sensation in Washington
social circles.
Due to the fact that strong
Gordon Of "Jimmy-legs" and flash
lights had been thrown about the
football field, the usual rendezvous
Of spooners was unavailable.
