With tears In her voice and with quiv

Irrepressible activities of the suffragists

In more robust tones Mrs A J. George,

WASHINGTON, Oct 29 Activity about
the White House grounds Indicates that
fcomethlng la "In the air." The gardeners
nie laving out flower beds afresh for the
late fall, workmen arc busy cleaning
the outside of the executive mansion and
within the redecorating work goes on
apace
This has led some to the belief that
the wedding of the President and Mrs
Gait may be held In tho White House
Those closely In touch with tho situation,
howevei, declare that the President and
Mrs Gait have definitely agieed that the
wedding should be held In the Gait home
One of tho principal reasons advanced
for this Is that a simple home wedding
will obviate the necessity of Inviting the
diplomatic corps
Under present conditions, the bringing
together of the European diplomats at
a big social function at the White House
might prove embarrassing both to the
diplomats and to tho President.
Tinea young ladles of Washington are
resting In the blissful assurance that they
will be Invited to the wedding These are
little Mary Tumulty, Nancy Lane and
Sally McAdoo They haven't missed a
White House wedding jet during the
Wilson regime.

The insignia is sable with escutcheon er

Tho wedding gown in which Mrs Gait
will be mnirled to the President Is almost

Few people find short cuts
to success.
Most of the men who make
good in the world travel
the long road, and work
every inch of their passage.
It takes fifty men four years
to make a Rameses.
Natural, then, that "The Aristo
crat of Cigarettes" should appeal
to the pick of humanity.
Both have obtained Success, not
by a fluke, but by real worth.
The resulting capital of quality
is there for good permanent-inbred.
Rameses character is in the cigarette
not on the label.
That's why "Nobody ever changes from
Rameses".
