Airs. Harry Hyman, State regent, pre-
sented a fine report of the work in the
Htate and received many compliments
l hereon.

Mrs, Hyman and most of the delegates
from Texas were in favor of Mra. Story,
who was elected president general hy a
large majority after a spirited contest
against all odds, the administration be-
ing combined against her for her rival
landidate. Mrs. Story's election was a
great victory, her loyal friends, many
of a lifetime, for she lives within a dozen
blocks of where she was born and reared,
came In numbers to do her honor. Her
home chapter, the Manhattan of New
Turk City, gave a brilliant reception at
the New Wlllard for Mrs. Story, and
Mrs. Hyman was of the receiving party.
Mrs. Hyman was handsomely gowned In
a splendid creation of blue satin and
gold brocade.
Mrs H. V. Lane of Dallas, former
State regent, was looking uncommonly
well, but was quite taxed, being one of
the election tellers, which required close
confinement for three days, there having
been three ballots.
Mrs Joseph B. Dlbrell was looking as
vivacious, stylish and attractive as ever,
entering quite into the spirit of Wash-
ington life and being much entertained.
She left the Wlllard Hotel to become the
Kucst of Mrs. Charles G. Dulln at the
Connecticut Apartments, where Senator

Daughters of the Confederacy.
Mrs. Garner, wife of Representative
Darner, gave an afternoon reception In
compliment lo Mrs. Joseph Eagle, .Mrs
Garrett and Mrs. Vaughn, wives of the
new members of Congress from Texas.
Mrs. Garner Is not given to large af-
fairs. hut has a host of warm intimate
friends, whom she frequently entertains
In small affairs. She and Mr. Garner
lire most attractively domiciled and her
entertainments are beautifully arranged
und greatly enjoyed.

THE late trouble in Mexico has time
and again demonstrated the ef
fieleney of the Federal authorities to cope
with trouble-maker* in pursuance of its
neutrality regulations. Scattered along
the Texan Mexican border are thousands
of Federal troops acting as a patrol guard
to prevent the shipments of contraband
of war across the RJo Brande border. In
caring for these troops our Government
arranges for the dally transportation of
food, ammunition and other supplies along
the dry, weary stretches of desert and
mountains by means of motor trucks. Be-
fore the advent of the motor vehicle
these supplies were transferred by means
of horse and ox teams. This slow meth-
od took more than quadruple the time that
U now consumed in relaying the com-
missary goods to the troops. The Govern-
ment. recently purchased a number of
Avery three-ton trucks tor this purpose,
and the above views give a slight Idea
of the horrible road conditions over
which they are used. All the comforts to
which the soldiers have been used in post
duty are enjoyed by them while In active
service. By means of these Averv trucks
perishable foods such ns vegetables and
fruits are sent tbem dally from Port Mc-
intosh. where one truck makes a daily
trip of sixty six miles. m<i from which
destination another truck I* brought into

vice readers the worst possible wear and
tear ou the motor trucks, aud because
of the enormous strain to which they are
given the Government Is decidedly care-
ful of trucks for this service. Thus far
the Avery trucks purchased by Uncle Sam
for this work have come up to the en-
gineers' expectations, and are accomplish-
ing far more than was thought possible
GOLF DREAM CAME TRCE
But Player Lost His Chance to Win a
Fortune.
A story of a golfer's dream that came
true has reached the Evening News from
the Rocbford Hundred Golf Club, n^ir
Kouth-Knd-on-Sea.
One of the members. K Simpson, en-
tering the clubhouse, said he had dreamt
the previous evening that he drove a ball
over a sheet of water hounded by a high
hedge aud a wire fence, on the green and
Into the hole In one shot.
"Of course that is the pond hole, the
ihort fifth," laughed the members.
"What is the betting against your
dream coming trueV" asked one. I give
you a hundred to one in sovereigns." "And
I fflve a thousand pounds to ten pounds,"
said a sporting city magnate.
Mr. Simpson could see nothing In these
tempting odds save the sure loss of his
money. To hole out In one comes to few
folfers In a lifetime, so he made no bets,
low keen is his chagrin on this score
may bo imagined when what followed is
related, lie went out to play 011 the
crowded Easter course. At the pond hole
tee his partner reminded him ofj his vision
and Mr. Simpson laid down his ball for
an easy Iron shot, the hole being a
"bogey three."
He said afterwards that he felt an eerie
sensation, and shook at the knees. He
was sure he did not keep his "eye on the
ball," or rather only his "mind's eye."
The couple in front stood near the green
awaiting eventualities. Straight for the
pin came the ball. it. dropped gently on
the green twenty feet away, aud. with its
last revolution, trickled into the hole,
scarcely touching the pin.
A wild whoop and frantic gesticulations
intimated to Mr. Simpson that his dream
had been fulfilled; also that he had lost
a small fortune by declining the bets of-
fered him.
By the unwritteu etiquette of golf, the
player who does u hole in one has a
heavy bill of hospitable liabilities to meet.
None congratulated Mr. Simpson so
heartily as the city magnate who offered
to lay a thousand pounds to ten against
his dream coming true.—London Evening
News.

will be just like this year's fashionable one,
in this most vital particular—it will be Youth-
Jul. For Youthfulness is Fashion's constant
Ideal.
Therefore hold to all the youthful lines
you may now possess. Wear the corset that
will preserve and emphasize them.
Season in and season out, the C/B a la
Spirite Corset has stood pre-eminent among
fashionable corsets. Its comfort and dura-
bility alone rival its fashionable, youthful
lines.
Forty years of expert corset making have taught the
C/B makers how to combine these three great corset
essentials successfully
for every known type of
woman's figure.
Among the 240 different
C/B models is one made
especially for vou. When
you wear it you will see
why the women who once
start wearing C/B's never
change to anyother make.

in the busy Hue Ht. Honore in Parii.
The pretty work girls of Paris, known
to all the world ns mldlnettes, because
they make the boulevards so gay and vocal
at midi, have been remarked by this mod
era priest as passing tho leisure'moments
after their dejeuner In wandering aim-
lessly about tlio streets arm In arm
He therefore thought It might do them
good to come into Ills fine old church for
twenty minutes aud listen to good coun-
sels. The first senuon attracted rather
an unusual audience. Instead of n few
old women, market basket by their aide,
kneeling here and thero among the shad-
ows, could be seen groups of mldlnettes,
giggling and excited, but obviously greatly
pleased.
The Abbe proposed to speak 011 the fol-
lowing subjects: "The Dresmers," "The
Frivolous.'' "The Gossips, The Comedl-
11 ns, Hie Skeptics," "The Resigned."
"The Rebels," "The Fallen" and "The
Wise."
