IDEAL MATCH IS A LOVE MATCH
Money Helps a Great Deal Towards Securing the Good

By
i A BHOtVT time ago tlio pnpera tlabo
XX rated on the details of ft most Inter
MIng wedding, it was the welding of
iiln Catherine Barker and Ilownnt II.
I
8pautdlng, Jr., of Chl
cftito These name
may convey nothing
to your mind, unless
you happened to
notice the most sig
nificant fact that the
bride was the sole
heiress to n fortune
of at lenst 123,000,000,
PaP vK JjS5
'which Is still growing
and promises to io
nearer the t0,000,000
mark In n few short
yearn. The young
husband has, com
paratively speaking,
nothing,
The details on
which the natters elab
orated Mere simple In the extreme. The
bride had no ostentation, no ulgnr dis
play of Wcnlth to mark her wedding
Chiefly becauso she never went In for
society Her romance and courtship
were equally Commonplace from a spec
tacular point of view. It was one of
those pretty love matches which aro ntl
too few ana far between iheso dajs-they
Wero boy and sir! sweethearts, they
rowed and swam ami tennlsed and
romped together. Miss Barker's enor-
mous wraith was no barrier, In spite
wnai cynics may say o mc contrary.
Fgr there arc certain natures that aro
largo and noble enough to overlook even
the mighty dollar, unnatural as It may
scrm And In the four years of his
course at Ynlo tho ioung man looked
forward to marrying tho ono girl In the
world for lilm, another .thing which
cyrllcs would claim to be Impossible.
It Just lakes something to Jog our trust
PLAIN LINES, DARK MATERIALS
AND REDINGOTES FOR FALL
C COMBINATIONS of
) two or moro ma
terials have been gain
ing In popularity ever
stneo their Introduction
several seasons ago.
First camo silk and
brocaded materials and
Innumerable variations
ort tho samo, followed
by serge and satin, the
forerunners of tho
fashionable redlngote.
These frocks wero Im
mensely chic last au
tumn, and a recent
fah!on bulletin from
Paris says that the
'women aro still wear
ing these long, loose
street frocks. '
Glddlng gives us a
design for a charming
little L-crge and B.itln
Eown for tho school
girl. It Is an Ideal do
eigii for the miss who
Is going away to board
ing school In tho fall,
ns tho linca are ex
tremoly simple, and the
colorings aro service
able navy and black.
A light touch of or
gandie on tho Collar
relieves tho too sombro
effect
The skirt Is made en
tirely of black satin,
with a narrow belt to
conilno tho fulness to
tho slender waist. It
is quite wide at the
bottom, with small but
tons at tho front.
The bodice Is cut on
military lines, ' with
this Idea further accen
tuated by means of u
wide braided band
above the girdle. The
sIeoes are made of
eatln, with an attrac
tive cuff of heavy
serge, also finished oft
, W 1 1 h buttons. Tho
back of this blouse Is
perfectly plain, with a.
bolero coat Ilka those
seen on many summer
dresses.
I have been closely
watching the gradual
evolution of the newest
fall models, and have
noticed that, almost
without exception,
plain lines and dark
materials are first fn
fa or There has never
been a season when
women s fashions were
less conspicuous.

As good- n anything I've ever seen. If It

For It Is still true as In Shakespeare

Another significant point about this
simple wedding Is that Miss Barker Is
kni,t in hav turned down chances galore
to enter tho formidable ranks of foreign
aristocracy. She had the opportunity co
become a. duchess, ft countess, a baroness
and Innumerable other peeresses of the

Edwin Wolf, of Finnnco Committee,
Says There la No Reason for
Haste.
Election of a Superintendent of Schools,
to succeed the late Dr. William C. Jncobs.
may be postponed until January.
While members of the Board of Educa
tion are belne besieged with letters In
dorsing different candidates nnd discus
sion Is in progress as to whether the new
superintendent should be a man or a
woman, the school board itself appears
Indifferent to the situation. Edwin Wolf,
a prominent member and chairman of the
Finance Committee, declared today that
ho saw no reason why tho choice should
bo made In September.
J? f?n ?.'r ,sp.cak for Wolf." said
J,i.,?rf "', a.lid l cannot BaY wllat tha

I am of tho belief that haste should be
avoided Doctor Garber Is now In charue
nnd ho Is capable of administering tho
affairs of tho school system until he la
elected permanently or another man is
chosen for the ofllce. '
"As senior associate superintendent he
is tho proper person to act as superin
tendent. Doctor Garber has been Identl
Jled with tho Hoard of Education for
many years Ho understands tho rou
tine duties and he Is able to carry out
Doctor Jacobs' policies successfully U
U for that reason that I am opposed to
electliic a superintendent when the school

In Philadelphia ahd In the line of promo
tlon," Sir. Wolfa opposition to "outsiders" is
well known. lie recently Introduced a
resolution before the board, which failed
of passage, requiring every teacher and
cfrlc..,n..the aohol to live within the
city limits.
Other members of the board declared
that tt was likely that no action would
be taken on the auperlntendency before
January, but asserted that conditions
were bo uncertain that they could make
no definite predictions.

obtained, nnd tn many caBes you must
get papers from the Minister for Foreign

sition, when ono becomes excessively an
noyed. Having selectf d our hotel In t'nris, you
must nt oner llll In n icglstiation form

Ho glances nt your passport and, then
hurls a perfect volloy of questions In
rntilil Frnnrh nt vour head. You nslt him
to speak it llttlo moro slowly, as your
lingual abilities cannot copo with tho
situation, but ho rcruscs io appiy mu
brakes. There Is a commissaire de police
In every district, and I havo found them
much tho same.
THE NEXT STEP.
After tho document Is nil signed up, nnd
you havo had nn exhilarating argument
on every slnglo point thereof, you nro
bidden to benr it lienco to tho prefecture
do police, somo miles distant, and then
return with It duly Indorsed to your first
friend, tho commissaire.
Tho day Is hot and you feel annoyed,
but what Is tho use of argument? When
you at last return, having experienced
mnny dliilcultles with the prefecture j-ou
ilnd the commissaire has gono out to
lunch and you sit In his odd llttlo room
overlooking tho court yard and wonder
how long this sort of thing Is going to
continue? The room gradually fills up
with people and becomes even hotter.
Finally, the commissaire returns and
completes your "pcrmls de sejour." But
all Is not jet over. You tell him that
you wish to travel to a certain town
and ask for a paper of "sauf conduit."
"Why do you wish to go to this town
nnd what aro your Interests In it?" says
the commlssalrfi in rapid French.
You explain tho situation and lie looks
very solemn The word "Journalist" on
jour passport Is as a red rag to a bull'
Ho eyes you gravely nnd then his glance
travels to tho passport In his hnnd. "It
states hero that tho hair Is brown and
I nm convinced that it 13 chestnut!" he
says with awful solemnity, eying your
hair with gravo ferocity. There is n
dreadful pause. The onlookers hold their
breath and the commlrsilro lends you to
tho light. "Yes," say lie, complacently.
"In this light It Is a decided chestnut!
You have not spoken truly!"
NOW FOB THE EYES!
You feel terribly guilty nnd murmur
somothlng about having lived with It all
your llfo and nlways thought It brown.
"Now for tho eyes!" ho continues trl.
umphantly, "I ask the opinion of the
three gentlemen on my right as to thn
color. It Bays in tho passport "gray,"
Wo mUBt verify'"
Without a smllo on their faces the men
step forward, willing to serve their coun
try In this matter. In turn they stare
Into your ejes nnd ench gives his opin

aro blue, without a doubt!" says the first.
"No, never bluo!" says tho second. Whllo
tho third, In a loud voice, declares they
are "speckled."
Tho commlssairo holds up his hand. "It
Is decided," ho says loftily, "Madame"s
eyes nro speckled!" and he writes the
word "speckled" on tho safe-conduct.
But you havo borne quite enough1
"They aro not specklod!" you say. "I
shall permit no registration as 'spec

This Is a regular bomb in the assembly!
But jou remain ilrm, and finally tho
commissaire compromises by recording
them on the 'conduit" as "greenl gray."
You feel that this Is spiteful, but you
refrain from comment.
Ho reads aloud the record of your
height nnd asks the audience their opin

taller than sho has stated!" says a.
Frenchman, who has Just entered the
room, "let us stand back to hnMr. t .
