Perhaps so, Noah Webster, Mid Gabby has never seen fit to dis f Bte yon, but the definition of the word -might be' a bit more broad. Shakespeare says: "All the world's a stage and. men and women merely players," but' Gabby declares. all the world's a political game and all the men and. women in it, politicians. Watch Bobby and , Betty and Johnny and Sue at their childish games on the front lawn.- They bribe, promise, tease, and coax each other .to gain" their ends and when they go to school, though each hates anyone who is "teacher's pet," yet in divers ways they court the favor of their instructor. When the boys want money or when the girls are sighing for a new dress dad and mother immediately become their greatest concern. Yes, they'll mow the lawn, sure' they'll wash the dishes. It's just another instance of "playing the game." ' One of t the latest manifestations of ','wire pulling" has been noticed among the girls who 'attend univer sities where the rules' permit sorori ties, The members, who are home for the .summer, are ever on the watch, for promising freshmen. In formal little parties are planned and the .selected person undergoes an "afternoon, Or evening, as the case may.be, of grilling scrutiny. Some areaware of the fact, but others are totally innocent of . thplots in - which they are enmeshed. And then following the affair the group of Greek letter sisters meet in excited conclave ta discuss their victims pro and con. The girls, of course, who are "wise," as they put it, don their very prettiest frock, wear .their sweetest -smile, and all with an air 'of bland innocence, just as if, they fcad never heard of a sorority. Yes, its a real political tangle and an interesting one, especially for the winners. Fraternities are much the same and the high school clubs, whose members do a bit of "rushing" dur ing the summer are fraught with ex , citement as well as are those who receive "bids" to their parties. And last, but never least, are the politics which " are played in the ?reat game called love. All earlier training and experience are applied to give, finesse in this contest. One tine young chap, who is engaged to a prominent miss, has-been acting is though some other girl had caught his fancy. His sweetheart is snm merinR many miles away and as he himself says, ?Tm just playinj around a little, not enough to make N angry, but just enough to keep her very interested." We know one coy maiden who is pretendinp. absolute v indifference to several young mcu who (to make it DETAYLS. , mild), are rather interested in her. Yes, she is pretending to all but soon, after' dallying a little longer than necessary, she plans to let one tell her the story she has read in nis blue eyes for many months. Somewhat cruel -to them all Gabby thinks, but not so this Vee brunette. "They'll recover within a week and within three weeks they will have, forgotten that they ever 'dptedwith me." ' We may call it tact, diplomacy or Whatever suits our. taste, but still Gabby thinks it is politics. "Star-light, Btar-brlgfit,. First star ( ,ee tonight; Wish I may, wish I might Have the tvlsh, I wish tonight." WHEN you get the long end of a wish-bone, or see the new moon, or a load of hay, for what do you wish? No, don't tell, be cause that spoils the wish. ' Gabby has spent a few of her leisure hours recently in an effort to discover the desires of average people. And varied they are. , ' The invalid prays only for health that alonqg would' bring happiness to her. The man of the world, en gaged in big enterprise, longs for financial success money-in order to dominate in business. One school girl seeks to .become an authoress, her brother longs to excel as an in ventor. , " . The dreamer's philosophy we find in the words of Omar when he soft ly quotes, "A jug of wine, a loaf of bread" ' ; " A professor, we know, wants fame as a -scientist and money tempts him rot for he stays in his nonlucrative position in order to spend additional houts working in his laboratory. The social climber endlessly seeks recognition from those on the rung of the ladder which is just above her. The mother has only one wish, hap piness for her children; and the blushing- young maiden, whose heart has. jus.t been won, shyly whispers her desire, "Love." ' . Some will be granted, others not; it is the old tale, 4 If wishes were horses, beggars might ride." sometimes - happens , that TT I shortly 'after, the wedding to realize that the generous, atten tive, considerate, affectionate and al together model young man of her choice isn't exactly living up to the impressions he created during court ing days," says a current article. written by "Dr. Dr. Leonard K.

Today, in our tapestried silk and velvet living rooms, mag nificent portfolios made of richest materials form an unusual note. One of the most unique of these will soon be in the possession' of Mrs., Howard Baldrige, who is now having Miss Pearl Davies make a portfolio for her. The front cover of the folio is to be formed by a quaint sampler mounted in a dull blue and gold hand-carved frame.

The man and woman did not know each other before they were parried. ' But science has come to the res cue. If you wish to' marry a -spendthrift, science will tell you how to pick him out. If a man wishes a refined, sensitive wife, with a loving disposition, he may be given the clue to. his choice. Prof. Jean Maingrot, noted French X-ray expert, according to Dr. Hirshhrg, has made some dis coveries. I For instarffe, it was an easy mat ter for him to decide whether or not a woman was of a jealous disposi tion by'simply studying" her breath ing apparatus. An X-ray photograph would reveal the conditions of the walls of the chest and readily indi cate whether such a person was a "Shallow" or "deep" breather. If "shallow" she could be classified as of a jealous disposition. Natural, deep breaths are readilv identified as liberal-minded, good-natured and industrious. s ...

Wash i ngtpn Is the Popular Stopping Place for , Tourists V Bureau of The Bee, Washington, July 31. Washington as a junction between seashore, mountains and country- is just now one of the most attractive points imaginable. The hotels are filled with motor parties from the west, south and north going to and from the White Sulphur and Hot Springs, from the west to the sea shore resorts, and for 10 days the weather has been ideal. Washington gave General Per shing a warm welcome on his re turn here early this week. Rumors of his marriage and of donning otJ citizen s clothes in lieu of his fa; miliar well-fitting khaki had pre' ceded him home. The first glimpse of him on the street when almost every man, stranger -of otherwise, greets him as they pass, dispelled he, last mentioned rumor and hi own ' good-natured ' laughter ' dis pelled the first one. Gossip had him wed to a well-known Washington widow, prominent in society, -which would not at all surprise 'any one roiind about here, but her name, was not mentioned, and the general de clared it a mistake,- so the excite ment flickered cut. The general has1 ?hown attentions to a number of at tractive and eligible widows, but has not so far pinned himself to any par ticular one. H( has had a visit with his young son. Warren, on Lono; Island and friends at New England resorts. The general went on to West Vir ginia Wednesday and it was consid erable of a disappointment to the army set left in town that he could not remain for the Horse show at Fort Myer yesterday, ' for which Ijreat preparations were made, and which Secretary Baker reviewed. All the lovers of the horse, as well as all the army people round about, were there, adding, to the really brilliant scene. It was a huge suc cess. Mrs. Wilson in her daily motor rides with the president, is invar iably seen bare-headed, displaying to good advantage Her handsome satiny black 'hair, with as yet no tinge of gray in it. In this, she is not setting a fashion, but is follow ing one made-by the war workers two or more years ago. They had a fashion of carrying, their hats in their hands, whether it was" early in the .morning as they went to work, or late afternoon, arfd in the eve ning they usually left the "top cov ering" at home. Mrs. Wilson's friends say she was struck with the bare-headed fashion among the women of England on her visit ;here, and finds it a comfortable one to follow.- Secretary, of - Agriculture and Mrs. Mereditl: have returned to (heir luxurious apartment after mak ing a visit ill tbeix Jowa home, since he San Francifco convention. Their son-in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Bohen, are spending the summer - m the Des Moines home. The. Merediths have as their week-end guests Mr. and Mrs.'Earle Butler of Des Moines, who arrived here Thursday by automobile, after a tour of Cannda and New York state. - - Mrs. Joseph Leiter and tier' chil dren spent ' nearly a week in town after a month or more at .the White Sulphur and then left on Tuesday . tor their summer home at Beverly Farms, Mass. Mr. Leiter, who wa with them for a part of the time at 1 he White Sulphur, has gone back to Chicago. He will join Mrs. Leiter, , however, at Montreal next week, where they will go to meet Mr. Leiter's brother-in-law and lis ter, CoJ, and .Mrs. Colin Campbell of England, the latter formerly Miss Nannie Leiter They are coming over to make iheir future home at Santa Barbara, v-here they have bought a prettv place, and will build a new bungalow. Mr. and Mrs. Edward Beale Mc Lean 'were also in. town for a weelc and went off '.o Saratoga on Mon day to spend the remainder of th summer. . They come from Cincin nati the middle of July and spent a week at their Leesburg, Va., phce, and then came 10 'Friendship" their suburban home. ... .' ; Meredith Ingman of . Wymore. Neb., was in Washington last week en route to Neif York from where he sailed for Liverpool early this week. Representative. McLaugh lin of York, Neb., spent some tim with him adjusting his passport af fairs and showing him the interest jng sights of the city. Mr. Ingman is going over to visit his old home', in England and his relatives remain-' ing there. He will return in the autumn..
