VOU MAY all draw a long
4 breath, ladies and gentle
men. Miss Mathilde McCor-
mick is married at last to her
Swiss riding master, Max Oser.
The newspapers have all print
ed long, front-page cable dis
patches about those two utterly
unimportant human beings.
From now until the first baby,
or the first divorce, that will
cease to worry you.
WHAT CAUSED the public
w interest and all the pub
Lefty? Miss Mccormick, a
child of seventeen, had never
done anything of Importance.
Mr.. Oser, amiable, average
Swiss riding master, had rid
den and cared for his horses,
teaching those able to pay.
Nothing exciting in that.
Then why all the interest?
Answer:
The young lady is the grand
daughter of the richest man in
the world. And when you use
the words richest in the
world" you command atten-
ton in this land of perfect
equality.
THERE was a tidal wave
4 along the east coast of
Korea yesterday-four hundred
were drowned, thousands made
homeless. AS news that's moth
ing compared to the fact that
Max Oser has married the rich
est mans granddaughter.
NEXT in news importance
Az comes news about the royal
British trousseau. The young
lady, soon to marry the Duke
az York. brother to the Prince
Of Wales, has ordered sixty
five gowns, regular, first-class
dresses, a great number Of
little frocks, hats, etc. without
number. Several pearl and dia-
nnond necklaces are already an
nounced among the gifts.
THAT'S normal news. Every
= British "sIavey' and Ameri-
can young woman can dream
dreams based on that wedding
and the household, in which, ac-
cording to official announce
ment. all the servants will have
had ''royal training. !" It would
interest American snobs to
study any royal "below stairs"
for there precedent and rank
are observed as strictly as up
gtairs-each servant taking the
rank of his master or mistress.
TINE other news from London
\ is of the dull kind. Irish
republicans have been arrested,
with papers showing plans for
destroying property in London,
attacking power plants, the po-
lice, etc.
Just why the stolid London
bobby should suffer for the al
legged crimes of. the Free State
against Free Ireland" is hard
to understand. But you must
give Ireland credit for keeping
everlastingly at it. Seven hun
dred years of fighting against
England, with every sign of
700 years more fighting against
Ireland.
CUNDAY is no day for poll
~ tics. But, we may have
1924 campaign of "Codlin's
the friend, not Short" variety,
and you should know it.
Woodrow Wilson is opposed
to the Harding world court
idea, it won't do, it does not go
quite the whole way; it is only
a make-believe league of ma
tons.
MIR. WILSON promised
AVA Europe everything, includ-
ing article 10, that would have
let Europe conscript our men
and money in her little fights
and decide just what America
should do. When Europe got
tired of carrying the load,
America was to guarantee
France, perpetually, against at
tack by Germany, standing for
ever ready to send men, money
and ships when wanted.
