England. That Sir Esme, Lord How
ard of Penrith, did not always keep
his head Is shown by story he tells
about himself at the coronation OF
King Edward in Westminster ABBEY:
AS head of the clan the Duke of Nor
folk. being hereditary Earl Marshal
invited a Younger kinsman to carry
"a gold stick" which great reSpon-
sibility aggravated his thirst. Lord
Howard says, "I am no ceremoniallst
and under the timbers of the dlplo-

ward escaping to tell the tale.
Sir Esme n Popular
Member of Corps Here.
Great Britain has never sent more
popular Ambassador to these shores
than Lord Howard. His sense OF
humor. his natural diplomacy, which
seemed always to be tempered by an
innate courtesy and thoughtfulness OF
those present, endeared him to MS
friends and the public as well. Lazy
Howard-an Italian-was delightful,
never appeared bored, but on the other
hand seemed interested in all that
| was going on about her. A deVout
Roman Catholic, she entered into the
charities of her church while here and
made many a one fashionable ana
remunerative that would have other
wise been q failure.
Mr.. H. L. Davis, author of that best
seller. Honey in the Horn" explains
| that the title of the novel comes from
a dance tune on the order of Leather
Breeches," Hell Broke Loose in Geor-

side still delight in.
Gov. Harry Talmadge must have
| thought that hell broke loose in Geor-

Roosevelt drew that bowling mass OF
| 1000 or 10000 Crackers at Atlanta.
| They simply went wild and the rebel
yell almost cracked the microphone
when neighbor Roosevelt swung into
action after Senator George declared
that there were no Benedict Arnolds
in the Georgia delegation in Congress
| Great day in the mawnin', Liza, it's
now jes' Neighbor Roosevelt. Country

who presided at the meeting last week
at the Save the Republic Confer
ence," who is one of the Capitals most
presiding with the skill of a politician
who has spent years on the hustings
and in conventions. 1t was a call to
action and the women of the party
from all over the country responded
| to the call. Millions were represented
that is money. Mrs. George Hor-
ace Lorimer of Philadelphia, Mrs.
Henry P. Fletcher. wife of the chair

ing toward the White House :. Mrs.
Jacob Leander Loose Mrs. E. A.
Hartman Z. Mrs. William E. Borah
were only a few of the women of the
party who are taking matters into
their own hands. Charming looking
assembly-Quite masterful enough to
save any republic.
When Mrs. Frank Knox, wife of the
Chicago publisher, entered there was
much applause as well as the raising
| of lorgnettes to see what manner OF
woman it was whose husband is a
strong possibility and who is resting
