wax one o£ our own little "In town" Klrl®.
Allrn Marie Burns, who was maid to « »
V'rttri Wrtlker, Duchess of Gonzalca Miss
Hums, a slim little figure In an exqul-
slte bluo costume, was the cantor of
much admiration and anpluusa from a
Ihi'Kn Circle of her friends, who had as-
sembled there to witness her part in tho
coronation, and slio was very naturally
thu pride of her parents' hearts. bh«
looked very much as her mother must
have looked about the time her father
was failing In love with her, for she Ib
tne Image of that pretty little lady today,
and as Mr. Burns said: Next Decem-
ber she will be Just the ase of her mother
was when I tnarriod her."
O
ONE of the tiny maids who took a
prominent part In the Fiesta Fete
and also danced before the Queen,
evinced a eiest deal of intorest in tho
details of the coronation. Bhe was
asked: "And when you Ret grown would
you like to bo a duchess?" "No," replied
the llttlo lady, "1 want to be the Queen.
O
ONE of our young men says it is "no
fair." While looking over the list
and tho pictures of the past and pres-
ent queens and hearing extolled their
beauty and their eharms, ho naturally
naked: "Where are tho kings of yester-
years?" "Oh, they don't count for
much," he was informed. "They oro
king fot a day, and go on about their
business No one ever remembers them
after tho Carnival is over."
"Ah, ine," ho sighed, "this is tho fate
of 'us men.' We rulo for a day and |
then pass on to oblivion down the 'al-
leys' of time.
APROPOS the Automobile Show,
which was another brilliant Carnival
event, everybody's head was so full of
motor cars that everything sounded and
looked like them. A lady who was visit-
ing another whoso husband was ill, |
asked: "What has your husband got,'
meaning what kind of machine. The
wife, upon whose mind his illness was
uppermost, replied: "Ho iiaB locomotor |
ataxia." "Oh," replied the caller, "I I
thought ho had a limousine."
IT IS not always in "high lite" that |
tlio most beautiful things are found.
During tlie Carnival thero were many I
people from very lowly walks who had
flocked to tho city to see the festivities,
and among these, to a close observer,
there was as much of human interest
lo he seen as among those congregated
for the brilliant social events. A couple,
evidently from the country, were stand-
ing on a corner, the man with the thin j
strong face thut comes from life In the .
open (probably a cowboy shorn of his
picturesque accoutrements), and the |
woman, Just as thin and brown and toll-
worn, but whose face, just at the mo- I
merit was glorified with a light that
made it beautiful, framed though It was
in a sunbonnet. About her faded skirt
dung two little children, who felt In
tUe very yield of her knees to them, the
protection of maternal care as they gazed
wide-eyed about them at unaccustomed
sights. The husband and wifo were evi-
dently about to separate for a brief
space each to go shout soma shopping
or other errand, and the family ex-
chequer was under discussion. He put
ills hand down into a long trousers
pocket and drew forth a none too bounti-
ful handful of coin. This was divided
with some discussion, each looking to the
other for advice and counsel as to the
best way to make it go farthest. One
coulrl almost seo that they were dis-
cussing necessities for themselves and
the babies and a few luxuries on tho
side, such os popcorn and ice cream
cones and merry-go-rounds. Accustomed
to the froedom of their own wide
stretches of field or prairie, they were
oblivious to any curious eyes and their
faces were as open books, never having |
been taught to dissemble, for their soli-
tudes do not breed dissembling. His j
face, kind and Btrong, was perhaps a
llttlo anxious and hers was lighted with
a trust and a wifely devotion that was j
the most beautiful thing in the world.
She did not smile but she Just shona
upon him and one or two small coins
changed hands several times in her de-
termination that there should be Just
division. He placed in her hand an
amount, and she, asking a question, or
two, pressed back upon him a coin, and
he, after talking and questioning, placed
it back in her hand, and again she
pressed it back into his. It was a little
family scene upon which it was almost
a desecration to gtize, and yet It was so
sweet and beautiful one could not for-
bear. It was so evident that each was
Intent upon doing Just exactly the best
thing for the other and the children; tlie
little story was so plain, that it was like
a poem to read. What a commentary
upon such family discussion in soma
families, when tlie husband, who has a
big bank account, perhaps, storms and
rages at ths size of eacli check, or the
wife's extravagances, and demands are
rreased until it almost broaks up the
family. No danger that this little fam-
ily will ever come to grief. They are
welded together with those Iron hands
that will keep them firm as a rock, and
it Is this spirit of common community
interest that builds to success. That
family will in all probability, in another
decade or so, be one of our leading ones,
wealthy and Influential, they will prob-
ably own their beautiful home and au-
tomobile and every comfort In life and
their children will be the belles and
beaux of another generation of society.
But their greatest wealth will be the
same bond that is keeping them happy
and contented now, home affection and
interest, and tho fealty of the wife to
her husband and hla to her. These are
the people that make our country great,
and to them w» look for the future.
AMONG the handsome young matrons
who attended the Queen's ball Fri-
day evening at the Beethoven Hall, and
whose elegant costumes received especial
admiration, were the following group:
Mrs. Charles Schrelner Jr. was ex-
quisitely gowned in white chiffon, hand-
embroidered, profusely trimmed in pink
roses and white crystal; Mrs. Foard
Townsend wore a dainty gown of pink
brocaded satin, with trimmings of white
duchess lace; Mrs, Eugene Nolte was in

had on an exquisite gown of white satin
draped In white chiffon, and Mrs. Claude
Keeran wore a stunning gown of bluo
churmouse trimmed in brown marabou.
THE announcement of tho engagement
of Miss Kathleen Scott will come as a
surprise to her friends in San Antonio,
for she Is one young woman who can
keep a secret, and not a hint of It has
leaked out until tho present. Through all
the Carnival and coronation festivities
In which she bore a prominent part,
she lias had this trump up her sleeve, and
it was perhaps ono of tho things which
contributed to her exceedingly radiant
appearance at all tho functions, whore
she was a center of admiration, for a
woman dearly loves a secret, and es-
pecially her own, that pertains to such
a matter as (Ills. Miss Scott has lived
nt Fort Sam Houston for two years,
during which time her father has been
stationed there, and she hns made
number of friends (here and In the city,
where she is exceedingly popular, who
