A Wandering Correspondent re

Averted.
s.It seems that at a rather
large and fashionable dinner
dance at one Of our favOrite
clubs near Washington there
was present very lovely and
very nice young thing who did

"This hOt-bIOOded gentleman,
not exactly understanding the

the artful eye-wOrk Of the fair

fore the wine Of the dinner,
felt the urge rather to, force his
attentions on the gal, decidedly
to her alarm.
%Getting away for a few min

themselves to her as a body

A bosom friend among the
educators tells me that:
Miss Lucy Wheelock who, with
Miss Susan Blow, was pioneer
in America, came
from Boston for the recent dinner
given in honor of Miss Catherine
Watkins.
Miss Watkins is retiring as d.
rector Of the kindergartenS in the
Washington public schools. She
has had this office nearly a half a
century, and has aided in eStab-
fishing more kindergartenS in
Washington in relation to the
than in any other city
In America. The work. of Miss
and Miss Watkins is
known among educators in all
parts Of the world.
Aida Bowler, who was in Wash
lngton recently taking a holiday
from the Carson Indian School
and Agency, in Nevada, thinks
nothing of a 2,O0O-mile swing

Such trips are not without ad-
venture. Once while driving she
and a companion met on a rough
and rocky mountain road noun
tain lion. The lion was fascinated
by the lights on the car, studied
them carefully for what seemed
hours to Miss Bowler. Suddenly he
decided they might be dangerous
and went scrambling up the noun
tain side.
