MONARCH A BASHFUL WOOER
Recorded of George III, That H«
, Sought the Hand of His Lady
Love Through a Proxy.
L
ftis
That was a curious proposal of mar-
age, made by Myles Standish to Pris-
fcilla through his proxy, John Alden.
[But an English king, George III., was
jjust as faint-hearted as the Puritan
•captain—and as unsuccessful in his
®uit William B. Burton, in a new
{book, “In the Days of the Georges/'
{tells the story of the young king’s un-
jfortunate courtship. The girl he fan-
jcied, a certain Lady Sarah, was in a
jroom with her friend, Lady Sue, but
jon the opposite side, wheel the royal
buitor entered.
i The young king went up to Lady
(Sue and asked her when she would
{return from Somersetshire, where he
jheard she was going. “Not before
iwinter, sir,” said Lady Sue.
“Would you like to see a corona-
tion?”
“Yes, sir, I hope I should come to
jsee that.”
j “Won’t it be a much finer sight
(When there is a queen?”
“To be sure, sir.”
“I’ve had a great many applica-
tions from abroad, but I don’t like
hem,” added his majesty. “I have
ad none from home. I should like
that better.” Lady Sue was fright-
jened, and said nothing.
“What do you think of our friend,
|you know who I mean? Don’t you
think her fittest?”
“Think, sir?” said the frightened
igirl.
“I think none so fit,” said the king.
He then went across the room to
ILady Sarah, bade her ask her friend
what he had been saying, and make
(her tell all.
A week later he met Lady Sarah.
“Have you seen your friend lately?”
«aid he.
“Yes, sir.”
“Has she told you what I said to
!her?”
“Yes, sir.”
“What do you think of it? Tell me,
(for my happiness depends upon it.”
“Nothing, sir!”
Upon which his majesty turned up-
fon his heel, and exclaimed pettishly,
'“Nothing comes of nothing!” and left
the room.—Youth’s Companion.

His Patriotism Hurt.
There are some amusing protests
(being made against the proposal that
the vehicles in Paris shall no longer
keep to the right, but to the left. M.
Glement Yautel, for instance, declares
that the. sole reason for this reform
Is that the English keep to the left,
and he grieves that this is one imita-
tion the more. “Never, now,” he ex-
claims, “does Paris give the lead; she
Is content to follow. We have adopted
Greenwich time, Belgian clock faces,
[Bavarian Cubism, Russian dances and
Hottentot music. We are now to drive
on the left as in London, and doubt-
less soon we shall walk on our hands
like the inhabitants of the moon.”
Knew Little About Business.
Apropos of the recent sale of seats
on the New York stock exchange,
George Hurty, one of the board mem-
bers of a large commission house, tells
the New York Herald the story of a
young man of great wealth, who had
been reproved by his fiancee for his
idle life and advised to “buy a seat
on the stock exchange or—do some-
thing.” He visited that institution and
Inquired the price of seats. Learning
•they were selling at $55,000 each, he
whistled and said; “By Jove, they do
come high, don’t they? Never mind,
(reserve me two in the third row for
tomorrow.” Apocryphal? Mr. Hurty
isays not.
/ Honor to the Texan Mule.
Says -a bulletin of the Texas Com-
mercial Securities and Business Men’s
association: “Uncle Sam may miss It
iln selecting men for office now and
then, but he knows a good mule when
ihe sees it. He has recently purchased
11,500 mules in Collin county, and most
of them will be (shipped to Panama
to work on the canal. The Texas
mule is furnishing animal power for
(digging the big ditch, and the nation
does not.posses a more able or pa-
triotic asset than the Texas mule. He
is the commercial king of beasts and
hiB flesh and blood are woven Into the
Industrial fiber of the nation. The
ifederal census reports show that we
have 696,000 head of mules valued at
l$75,168,000, an increase of 254,000 in
number and $53,573,000 in value dur-
ing the last decade.”
Big Bear Killed In South Carolina.
The killing of a 645-pound black
bear in Berkeley county last week
sounds like old times. Few people
ever thought that such a monster
(beast would ever be seen in this part
of the country in this day and time.

Collapse of Washington’s Famous Cotillon Club

ttf ASHINGTON.—The collapse of
*f the "Bachelors” Washington’s fa-
mous cotillon club, which for the last
twenty years has established the
standihg of the successive crop of
smart society, has been followed by
the establishment of the “Benedicts"
and at last Washington winter time
smart set' has undergone the long
threatened pruning. The Bachelors,
according to some reports, “fell of Its
own weight.” In other words, too
many who could not muster all the re-
quirements were admitted to member-
ship and one by one the “swagger”
element withdrew. The defection be-
gan several seasons ago when Major
Charles McCawley, U. S. M. C., who
throughout the Roosevelt regime was
the Beau Brummel of Washington,
gave up his membership. George How-
ard, son of Lady Howard of England
and kin to the ultra-aristocratic Rlggg
connection, resigned about the same
time. Gist Blair, one of the most elig-
ible bachelors In the country, came a
close third, but these lapses were
made up by the younger army and
navy set
Last year things got worse and even
the lances of criticism assailed the
bachelors, whose dances careful moth-
ers considered a bit too blase for the
debutantes whose coming-out hereto-
fore had not been considered properly
accomplished unless “they appeared”
at least at the Bachelors’ three yearly
"Germans.” The turkey trot was one
of the first wedges, the introduction of
bridge whist tables where some pretty
high play was possible was another
disintegratory feature, while the habit
some of the young matrons had of go-
ing out to the smoking rooms and puf-
fing a cigarette or two between dances
was yet another phase of the bache-
lors’ later dances which more careful
mothers refused to view with favor.

Y. M. C. A. Puts Ban on All Suggestive Songs
*T« HIS notice was posted the other
1 day at the Y. M. C. A. rooms and
dormitory here:
“Members of the Y. M. C. A. and
visitors to the Association building
will please refrain from playing or
singing music of the following kind
In or about the buildngs: ‘Hitchy
Koo/ ‘Row, Row, Row,’ ‘Everybody’s
Doing It,’ ‘Whon I Get You Alone To-
night.’
“Such songs are suggestive and not
at all in keeping with the ideals of
the Association.”
The notice appeared on the bulletin
boards throughout the Y. M. C. A. dor-
mitory as well as on the announce-
ment boards in the Association’s gym-
nasium, pool room, bowling alleys,
turkish baths, reading rooms and bar-
ber shops.
“The ruling was made,” said Secre-
tary Cooper, “not because any one has
made himself objectionable by per-
forming these questionable songs, but
merely to insure that the policy and
moral conditions of the young man
shall be carried out in this detail as in
others. For many years I have noticed
a steady lowering in the moral tone
of the average popular song. Former-
ly sheet music was derived from the
operas of Gilbert and Sullivan; nowa-
days they seem to come mostly from
the burlesque stage. Twenty-five years
ago many popular songs possessed
considerable merit; today many of
them are unspeakable.
“It is not the actual, literal mean-
ing of the words sung that is objec-
tionable, but it is the connotation, the
idea obviously implied, or that one
is led to anticipate, which constitutes
the peculiarly vicious effect of these
songs. Popular music today Is at Its
lowest ebb. But even if it cannot show
brains, it at least can show decency,
and I would welcome any movement
designed to this end.”
Plans to Further Embellish the Capitol Grounds
P LANS are made, and their execu-
T tion will be proceeded with as soon
as finances warrant, for further em-
bellishing the capitol grounds by the
planting of additional shrubbery. It
should be emphasized that no attack
is contemplated on the design of the
grounds which represents the admir-
able work of the landscape architect,
Frederick Law Olmsted. The layout
of the capitol grounds is satisfactory
to everybody, and the design is vener-
ated by all the men having in charge
the care and preservation of the
grounds.
When the capitol grounds, as we
know them, were young, a great deal
of the plantation was for quick results.
The results were achieved. Some
shrubbery has developed so that as a
permanent feature it cannot be in-
dorsed by progressive landscape ar-
chitects, but even this will not be
trifled with. Plant mortality in the
capital grounds was high last winter.
A large amount of shrubbery was kill-
ed by the long and excessive cold. A
number of trees have been slain by
summer storms, and several were de-
stroyed or irreparably injured last
summer.
Whenever the replacement of a tree
is determined on a memorial tree will
be set out, with the final result that
memorial groves will surround the
capitol. Last spring a beginning in
this line of work was made, and in
the east park on the senate side Sen-
ator Bacon planted a willow oak, Vice
President Sherman a purple beech,
Senator Lodge a red oak, Senator
Cullom an oak, and Senator Wetmore
an English beech.
Baby McLean’s Birthday Party Breaks All Records
ABY Vincent Walsh McLean’s $10,-
D 000 birthday party, given the other
day at the Walsh home in Washing-
ton, broke all records for gorgeous
and ingenious entertainments.
Gifts came in hundred lots, and in
hundred lots they continued to come
for several days. The greater number
are yet to be opened for the inspection
of the youthful recipient and a pair 6f
secretaries will be required to get the
notes of thanks off in proper time.
The one best gift of the whole col-
lection, however, is the snow burro
which came as a gift from Mrs. Mc-
Lean to her only son. The burro has
a long pedigree and a shaggy coat and
a perfect disposition.
A giant white bull moose, white as
snow and terrifyingly natural, shares
the place of honor with the burro in
the affections of the young heir. This
aWso was a gift from Mrs. McLean and
its appearance for the first time creat-
ed a great sensation.
The birthday cake, which had the
place of honor on the table specially
constructed for the comfort of the
V
M
tiny guests, was a real wonder cake,
with its tier after tier of frosted “ter-
races,” the pinnacle crowned with a
trio of birthday candles.
Boxes of cake, with the monogram
of the celebrant, together with quanti-
ties of wonderful toys and marvelous
mechanical trophies, were given to
each of the guests as they set off
home at the close of the afternoon.
For entertainment there was a circus
with a real clown. Panch and Judy
show and a vaudeville entertainment
completed the show.
Baby McLean is three years old and
Is heir to between ninety and a hu»
dred millions.
