Sowing Of the deb Crop

Interesting thing. Strictly speaking
any girl, Just anybody, can be Il deb.
Whether she pets by or not is an
other thing. Many try il, however.
! There have been at least one and
possibly two casualties this season.
One girl in the cast was fairly
pretty, the daughter Of a grocer who
had made money. The family had
plenty Of money to play the deb pace
and was very respectable. There was
no scandal in the family's past, which
is more than can be said concerning
some of the most prom ncnt families
in Washington society.
"Rcar Entrance" for Tradesmen
But the snobbish elite of the CAPT
tai have always referred to groccrs'
families as 'tradesmen." 1t is sig
nificant that on every Washington
apartment is the sign, "Tradesmen
and Servants Use Rear Entrance"
Washington society will welcome
with open arms the humblcst sixth
secretary Of foreign legation, but
the front door Of aristocratic society
is always closed to the wcaIthiest
tradesmen.
But one social secretary decided
to take Il chance on the grocer's
daughter. She arranged Coming

aristocra ratio hotels, sent out the en-
graved invitations-but not six pco-

The Case of Mrs. Wilson
"Thc cave dwellers" sharpened
their fangs when they heard, for in
stance, that none less than the presi-
dent Of the United States, Woodrow
Wilson, was paying attention" to
the widow Of "mere tradesman.'
The widow was Mrs. Edith Boiling
Gait, widow Of Il jcweler--"quite i'm
possible socially" according to the
cdict.
But ever "cave dwelicrs" cannot
ignore presidents wives, and when
the impossible Mrs. Gait" became
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, First Lady of
the Land, the first to kow-tow unto
her were those who had scratched
her TO- pieces during the wooing days
Of the president.
Few women have ever graccd the
White House with the poisc and
dignity and courage Of this Mrs. Will
son, and the greatest evidence of her
real worth was the fact that, though
given glorious opportunity to do so,
she never "got even" with the tab
bies who called her that BRIDESMAIDS
widow"

in thick and fast, she is accepted.

Tourist Thought
He'd Improve Nature

It may "pay to advertise" but a re-
cent visitor to Grand Canyon has just
learned to his sorrow that it does not
pay to advertise by painting inscrip-
tons on prominent cliffs along the
trails of a national park. This mis-
guided tourist unfortunately selected
certain prominent rocks along the
Bright Angel trail as an advertising
medium on which to exercise his ar
tistic ability in painting scriptural
quotations. After a fifty mile chase
the artist" was apprehended by
Park Ranger Fred Johnson, through
the cooperation of the county sheriff,
and quickly brought back TO the super
intendent's office where he was given
the chance of removing the evidence
of his work or paying the penalty pre-
scribed by law for the DETACHMENT of
scenic features within a national park.
He chose the former course and found
that even with much turpentine, paint
remover and elbow grease it took
much longer to remove the inscription
than to place it originally.
According to statements made by
the national park service, vandalism
of this nature is decidedly rare con-
sidering the many thousands Of all
classes who, each year, visit the ma
tional parks. The great majority of
visitors appreciate the Importance of
preserving the scenic features of the
nations Fairgrounds and are ever
ready to cooperate with national park
authorities to that end.

Was Humankind
Graded In Arizona?

Archeologists and ethnologlsts who
have studied the American desert and
the evidences of prehistoric life found
there are beginning to question
whether real antiquity is not here in
the southwest, rather than Egypt OF
Mesopotamia. IL this country was
not the cradle Of the human race it
was at least the trundle bed, accord
ing to DR.. W. H. Nelson, author Of
"Alluring Arizona" the latest book
from the press dealing with Arizona
of yesterday as well as today.
Although the youngest state in the
union, Arizona may be the Oldest, as
far as occupation by primitive man is
concerned, on the continent. DR.. Mel
sons story of the cliff dwellers of a
race of people anywhere from 500 to
5000 years old whose real origin is
still shrouded in fascinating mystery,
brings out many facts regarding
early life in Arizona which have only
Leen a matter Of conjecture hereto
FORE
Sincere tribute to the scenic Won
ders of the state is paid by the author
in his description of Arizona. There
were eight wonders of the ancient
world, he writes, but competent au-
thorities agree that the eight rolled
into one cannot compare with the
Grand Canyon of Arizona. 1t is the
greatest thing in the world, DIR. Mel
son says, and there are few who will
disagree with him.
And if the Grand Canyon is the
greatest thing in the world, he adds,
the Painted Desert is a unique scenic
wonder in the world, and the petrified
forests are compelling mystery.
The book is something that makes
the reader feel the surprising wonder
of Arizona. It is written in attractive
style, very human, accurate in its his
torical facts, contains flashes of hum
or, and though concise, misses little
of the wonderful story of the state.
Although principally devoted to the
early history of the country, its tradi-
lions and scenic wonders, a lengthy
chapter has been devoted to the story
of Arizona as. it is today, showing by
comparison the remarkable growth of
the state and the accomplishments of
its people.
The author spent many years here
in research work, gathering material
for the book, and theTresult is not
only d great tribute to the state, but
a credit to the efforts of the author
1t is an accurate word picture Of
wonderful state, and the story dem
onstrates the forcefulness of the fact
that this is, truly, "Alluring Ari-
zona."
