Report of Investigating Committee Will
Probably Condemn Hire.
Richmond, Nov. 20.?Tho report to be
made by the Sons of Veterans' commit?
tee, whose investigation of the history
scandal was concluded early yesterday
morning, has been practically agreed
upon. It is understood that the report
will ho adverse to Commuuder Minitreo
Eolkes, of Leo Camp of Sons of Veterans,
who is also a member of the Grand
Camp's history committee. Just how far
its recommendations will go cannot bo
definitely learned.
The point hns been raised that Mr.
Folkes was not a member of tho history
committee at tho time that he took part
iu defeating tbe Mahood resolutions
anathematizing Hon. John E. Massey,
superintendent of public instruction.
Tho resolutions calling for the inquiry
uro broad enough, though, to reach any
member of the Grand Camp.

The November fashion plates show the

worn with evening dress, except with
tuxedo, with which either will ba cor?

is n tri Ho wider this season on account of

Are you related to "Weary Waggles?"
? ^ ?
Please let me know In your column
your ideas about "stealing out" in tha
german.?"Dancing Mau."
It is easy to seo that stealing out is apt
to cause confusion aud embarrass the
leader, and is therefore a bad practice.
It is, however, indulged in to a great ex?
tent because it is both "naughty and
nice." If you have ever tried to lead
german you will know what stealing out
means. You ha ire not asked us for a rem?
edy, but we will say that there are times
when the leader should stop the music
and th? german until those stealing out
have taken their seats. It is not so bad
In'a small aerrano, but when the floor is
nil crowded it takes away half tho pleas?
ure of dancing, and should be immedi?
ately stopped. The worst of it is that
tho popular must buffer with tho unpop?
ular. '
# *
We have been fold that wo should not
remain at a tserman or like entertainment
where there are no chaperons. Will you
give us your opinion??"Anxious."
We are glad you ask this. How do you
relish the idea of being told that you can?
not be trusted to conduct yourself prop
Bi,v when not watched? S'ou would in
nil Orobau.Nty wound the feelings of yo'Jr
host if you should h-ave tb? place of en?
tertainment ou this Reco tint. As it. is
the custom of chaperons to bo present
you may be sure that if the hosts i,are til
to be In your company at all they aro'not
responsible for their absence. Chaperons
are at all times welcome In gatherings of
young people bath becausi of the pleas?
ure of their company, for which they
should be chosen, and becauso [they lend
dignity to tho occasion. That their pres?
ence is necessary to render such ocensions
safe for you and therefore to bo takeu as
just cause for your leaving is utterly ab?
surd and is becoming to ba thus recog?
nized more every day. Why not t tke a
cliaperon with you when you desire?
Sho would bo of much more practical
value. We must, however, remain with?
in the limits of cusioa:, but do uot stiffen
your little neck, Miss lJrude, anil make
yourself unpopular by smelling mice
wdien there are none. If you are old
euoiigh to leave mamma you should know
yourself when your dress is wrong or be

ually left to the ehape-on to discover or
