Mm. 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."

the bleak, bare table in the stiff, old

silk and velvet living rooms, mag

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.

grandmother, has been in the form

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

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.. ' 1 ; . -
Miss Billy Dunn, who came to
Washington with the family of Rep
resentative McLaughlin, is expecting
o get vacation enough front office
duties this fall to make a visit to
her home in York.

The park is'filled with night and
fog,
The veils are drawn about the
world,
The drovsy lights along the
paths
Are dim and pearled. , '
Gold and gleaming the eifipty
streets,
Gold and gleaming the misty
lake. '
The mirrored lights like sunken
swords.
Glimmer andshake.
