word for the chivalry ot men individ-

met with Instantaneous response.
Order ITccluded Millinery Display-
This of coarse. ilctraet d a bit from
the millinery value of the spo taele a*
a whole unless one had thought enough
beforehand or energy enough after-
warti to notice the types of headgerr
worn. My impression of the high lishts
in the huge piae saucer. which was on
the whole a marvelous panorama was
that bright orange and all shades of
orchid anti lavender registered witr
many a gingham gown and many*
crepe de chine one scattered over t.
ringside scats whore of course were
gathered the notables.
Remember that most of those pres-
ent got an early start for even to the
old New Yorker Jersey Citv is an un-
explored country: remember too tbit
the sky threatened and the air was rs
dense As the atmosphere wan tense
Eren so dark clothes did not prevail-
Rather were light colors worn with a
distinct preference for orauge red or-
chid blue and some green with of
coarse a libera! spattering of white.
In the gray mist of the afternoon
the huge arena presented anything but
i colorful spectacle even with its rim
of red. white and blue made by alter-
nating French and American flogs.
Here and there through the gray-
nrss of things a bright orange hat or a
bright tangerine dress or feuther pierced
the gloom—here and there a stray sun
ray eaught the reflu-ted light of a
bright green feather proving that wom-
en as well as men were interested in the
outcome of the encounter between the
heavyweight champion of Eurojie and
the world champion in America. An
occasional man removed his coat: but
probably thes- cases were fewer ami
further between because of the women
pi esent; and probably too to this max
be credited the exemplary deportment
which characterised the day.
Sports Clothes Not Predominant.
It is a pertient point that sports
< otbes by no means carried the day
men though the event gave every jus-
tification for them. Sweaters were eon
-picuously absent and women dress-d
for the fray seemingly as they might
Lave dressed for any occasion at which
rummer clothes would be correct. There
were sombre taffetas in light shades
dainty organdies—worn with appro-
priate accessories—smart crepes and
f« iilsrda a few pongees and a seem-
ingly unending line of wash fabrics
running the gauntlet from ginghams to
ratines.
The day fullv demonstrated the fact
that the feminity of dress is the rub
and not th- exception and that worn-:
feel that they may wear light gra
and beige and orchid at the ringri
with impunity even with matching
footwear; which reminds me to st*'
ihat the strapp'd slipper rather thn.
the Oxford or pump was the prevail-
ing mode.
Since many made their laborious trip
by motor -it was natural that wrap
should play a rather imjmrtant part in
•be picture. Raincoats frqpi the bril-
liant trgnroarent types to the water-
proof woolens were worn or carried
and colored umbrellas were a part nt
tbe eqipment although one wonder
what the outcome of raising one of
tbiru might bo—sudden death proba-
bly! A noman just naturally feels the
(be is to be tolerated and is careful to
obey the rules whether Marquis of
Qucensberry or the “love honor and
olwy " variety.
Ban Rice at Weddings
New York July B.—Doubtless the
I frigthfnl weather had something to do
■ with it. Rut whatever Ilie cause ro-
irance is tottering on its last legs here-
abouts. The pastor of an uptown
church announces a fine of $-'■ every
time rice is thrown at a weduing.
Without a trickle of rice down one's
neck weddings won't be tbe same at
all. There's something about a hand-
ful in the eye of the brido or a double
handful in the car of tbe rich and
crusty aunt which lends to the cere-
mony a certain vivacity that nothing
vise can give.
Yet here comes the Rev. Jolin B.
McGrath to proclaim that one rice
grain strewn iu the church of St.
nomas the apostle will mean de-
ducted from the pocket 'from the bap-
less bridegroom. The young mab it
required to detnsit .<5 with the sexton.
If no rice is thrown bis money is re-
funded. If rice is thrown the money
goes toward cleaning up the ehureh.
And it also goes—if a defeated and rice
laden rival lx- present—toward clean-
ing up the bridegroi m.
Of course there is something to be
said of the scheme. It makes marriage
even more of a game of chance than
ever. JThe briilegroom is in effect bet-
ting fa that nobody dislikes him enough
to make him lose the money. Rut still
and all the new rule seems rather hard
upon both bridal couples and -guests.
Pretty soon somebody will try to bar
orange blossoms cn tbe ground that
they cause hay fever.
The drys say it is because of prohi-
bition. The wets nay its because peo-
ple are getting more sensible as wit-
nes* the parade protest against prohibi-
tion. Rut be the reason what it ipay.
this Fourth was the safest and sanest
in the history of the town. Accidents
were almost absent. Perhaps the
weather was no awful that ncople
lacked the pep to run into danger.
New York has simmered steamed
and boiled with tbe temperature around'
9'l in whatever shade one could find.
Fifth avenue melted and ran intc its
own gutters where eggs might usily
have been fried in the liquid a-pbnlt
There was n concerted dash fo.- Corey
with 400.000 sweltering hum* as clam-
oring to climb into the 100 municipal
bathing suits.
Do you know! We will have 90 dya» more of Warm Weather.

Paris June 10.—They want a king
for France.
। It may be hard to believe but you
। >bou!d have been at a certain cjfecab-
aret iu Htria tbe other night. Tire little
ball was full and cigarette smoke curt-
cd aloft aud glasses rattled as a |>op-
ular entertainer began bls song about
> Al. Leon l>audet. The aoug was jolly
but it was not resiK<-tful toward M.
Ic-uu I >audet. It said among other
Uiiiuet that Al. I-eou llaudd bad faced
tbe Gerr.ians alone aud sius'e handed
iu Ins editorial aoaehair. Tbeu it said
something about 30JI0U francs—
The little hull was imudeax.nium. A
Il vent up. Canes and sticks were
| blandished. A parcel of young lueu
vaulied to the Otake uud began to beat
the singer. Another entertainer cume
lo tbe singer's rescue and the lone |>o-
uceman who bad been maintaining de-
corum in the cafe sought to calm tbe
turmoil. The manager gesticulated.
The audieence "mixed it up” or scut-
tled away out of Ibe radius of the fly-
ing canes.
The siuger on tbe stage who had ac-
quired a wound aud much beef iu tbe
war took on all bis amailauts easily for
they were young university striplings.
But his ally received an ugly gash oa
the head from a loaded cane uud an-
other man retired with a crooked nose.
At length two gendarmes arrived
and overawed tbe mauifratauts. Thu
eancs were taken as trophies and pass-
ed around among the audience. Many
of them were heavily loaded and one
when tbe bead was taken off. revealed
a long sharp dagger.
Tbe manager announced that the riot-
ers must leave the hall. One of the
latter shouted that lie would stay and
see to it that AI. Leon Raude. was not
libeled agaiif that evening.
“Free speech is a tradition of this
hall!” shouted the manager. “Am! if
you don't like our song about M. I-eon
liaudet you can get your money back
at the box office."
Well who is AI. Leon Daudct any-
way. that such a fuss should be made
about him? He is editor of L’Action
Fran raise and thn leade-. or at 2c st
tbe most prominent of the royalists of
France.
Do you get that word "royalist"?
Of course we know it means people
who want a king. But Americans find
it hard to realise that there hasn't
been some mistake. Does any consid-
''gl a
Caw SOUTH HJXBB DOUCRD6A STS.
. erable number of Frenchmen actually
want a king? Yes tbe royalists m-tu-
slly want a king. After all the unfor-
tunate experiences which the world has
hud with kings in th* last seven years
or so they still really bonest-to-good-
ncss want a king. 'They have a mao
in mind —Phillippe duke of Orleans
z.ip! . w or something
of the late 1-ouis VI. who lost part
of his belongings (his head in fuctf.
because lie named to be a kiug at a
time n hen like tbe present people were
thinking mneh about democracy. And
AI. Pliillippe. in spite of this regrettable
incident wants to be king at least as
ardently as the royalists want him to
be. He has (sisters stuck up ou tbe
walls of Paris every now and then to
reassure his dear subjects that he will
come and boss them "whenever his peo-
ple calls." A few curious inliers i.ii
these posters aud stroll away smiling.
But there are many people in France
who still speak of "our king.” And
royalism iu France is at least vigorous
enough to sustain two daily newspaper*
and any quantity of pink and green
printed matter on the walls ot Paris.
Then they have an organization known
as the "L'amelats du Hoi" (which means
hawkera or “ballybooers" ot the king
uud is accepted by the royalist* as a
term of honor since it implies their
mental abnegation in the service of their
wivereignl. The camelots do all sorts
of errand boy work tor the royalist
organisation and sometimes as in the
affair of the <«baret go out with their
canes mid make a row when they find
something they particularly dislike.
Amt there is an organization ot "Young
Ladies of the King” and there is a roy-
alist stratum of fashionable French
society which gives royalist tea partie*.
Then there is of course tbe royalist
political organization.
And above them all. subject only to
his beloved sovereign is M. Leon Dau-
dct He write* elegantly and vitupera-
tively every day against the government
and democracy. It is said that he fears
assassination; at least it is Impossible
for any one not personally introduced
to see him. His secretary says curtly
to any one asking for an interview ; "I
have instruction to refuse all requests
in crude lauguage.”
The other day a man was arrested for
hissing M. Daudet on the street. And
when tbe police got him safely locked
up they found that he was himself a
royalist deputy. . Only he was another
kind of royalist.
For you must know if you are In-
terested In kings aud would-be kings
that it is only one braueb of the roy-
alist* that "calls" M. Phillipp*. The
other or “legitimate” branch ba* ita
own candidate wbo I* of tbe main
Bourbon line whereas M. Phillippe Is
only a collateral. Now If you are in-
terested in thoroughly understanding
this matter of royalism—
But you aren't. And when I raid
at the beginning. “They want a king
tor France" I meant that the royalists
wont a king.

Reduce Your Fat
Without Dieting
This I* turning an old phrase face
about but modern methods or reduc-
ing fat bare made this revision possi-
ble.
If you are overfat and also averse to
physical exertion during this warm
weather and likewise fond of the table
and still want to reduce your flesh sev-
eral pounds do this: Go to your drug-
gist (or write the Mnrmnl* Co. 4612
Woodward Ave. Detroit. Mich.) and
give him (or send them) one dollar. For
this modest amount of money the drug-
gist will put you in the way of satisfying
your ambition for a niee. trim slim fig-
ure without fear or harm even on the
hottest summer days. He will hand you
a full sited package of Martnola Pres-
scription Tablets (compounded in ac-
cordance with the famous Martnola;
Prescription) one of which you must
take after each meal and at bedtime un-
til you begin to lose your fat at the rate
of two three or four pound* a week.'
That I* all. Just go on eating what
you like leave exercising to the athletes
but take your little tablet faithfully and
without a doubt that flabby flesh will
quickly take unto itself wings leading
behind it your natural self neatly
clothed in firm flesh and trinr muscles.
