WsP ' m 8 GOODWIN'S WEEKLY I I ! 888 THF CHA TTFR-RGX 888 SI i,. I IME was wiien ' mCT If Peace brooding M J I ft J I over the land of H ' te 1 Uncle Samdom, H I I saw the young H ilfagi 5fe!'l giria o the Re- H l publlc pushing H I in the end of their wee noses with H powder, tinting their round and lus- H cious cheeks with drug store "com- H J plectold," and wearing apparel that H I was sparse in quantity but magnifl- H cent in price. Rich and indigestible H , food, Hanked with candies and rich H I actions of all sorts of drinks, H ed them --each day nearer the oblt- H a,. notice. They, in fact, were ha3- H toning toward the great grand total H of all things from Fords to fairies of H i society through high living. H Then came "Mars'" Mars. A man H named Who's Whoover mounted an in- H ' Visible throne in Washington, and im- H mediately it grew fashionable to save. H ' The simple life a fad sometime ago H thrown aside was promptly jacked H ' up into service again and worked over- H time. Clothing became simpler by H one button. The cleaner rubbed el- H a bows -with the milliner. The laundry H began to share the modiste's dividends. H The kitchen was busy with cabbage H ' instead of fudge. Navy beans came H ashore to be devoured and vegetarians H wero listened to without so much H caustic criticism. H And Young Society! She paused in H her "make-up" effort to outrival the H leading actress on the new vaudeville H bill at Pantages, and smote her elec- H trie iron with her palm, and did make H last year's gown brace up for a sec- H ond year's round. She ate what H mother and Whoover said she must B and did learn to .knit. A service flag H f in the window of tii6 big home showed H what Big Brother was doing for the H President ,and another similar banner H in a palace not so far removed showed H what some other girl's brother was do- H ' ing which also interested Miss So- H . ciety. B J f And now the drug store complexion M ) is rivalled by one planted on her H cheeks by outdoor exercise; the H ! sweater and the rough cloth skirt, the H sensible shoes and the neat and natty M ' "athletic" cut o her outfit, all go to ' make her even more charming than H ever. Less "blues" and more patriot- B ' ism. She's doing her bit and gaining m in looks and physique. She is healthy H and happy and living a larger and fl I more perfect life than she ever could i ! have experienced wearing the rldicu- M I lous clothes of Fadism and ruining her B ! digestion with near-gluttony. And so M r Miss Society has "come out" into the B t I exclusive circle of Uncle Samdom, H ' chaperoned by Miss Liberty and Miss HH I Columbia! I1 "jHERE is a good story going the Vs rounds of the afternoon teacups about the "unbidden guests at the wedding feast," for thereon hangs the tale. At the reception the bridal party stood beneath the proverbial bower of pink and white rosebuds to receive the congratulations of their friends. All was a buzz and hum of conversation as the close friends drew near to whisper that "everything was just too lovely for words," and that she was the most beautiful bride they had ever seen. (You know the same old story.) Suddenly a military note was added to the pink and white decorative scheme of the drawing room when half a dozen stalwart Sammies came to add their congratulations. Now the bridal pair had never seen these par ticular soldier boys before and rather wondered at their presence. Within half an hour a dozen more arrived. They solemnly walked upstairs and, after laying aside their military coats, hastened to the dining room where the fragrant coffee called. They con tinued to come in battalions. (At least, so they say.) Now by this time the young bride became more timid and she wondered if these husky soldier lads were on military detail and if ,as the last guest departed, they would spirit away her "soldier husband." Suspicions also filled the heart of the bridegroom. Who wero these men? Would they kidnap his bride or, horrors! were they tool's of the Huns In camaflouge? And mother and father? Well, they just shook, and they say that father's knees quaked more than when he led his young daughter up the aisle to the tune of Lohengrin; in fact he has since declared that said knees hit so hard that he wondered if it were some one knocking incessantly at the door. The end of "A Perfect Evening" came at last, and after all the eats had disappeared and the last guest had departed, the soldiers gravely took their leave. And their visit why they were there? Why they had come? What was the reason? It was a veri table Anna Catherine Green or Rich ard Harding Davis episode. Would the young couple as they left for the wedding trip encounter a camaflouge automobile driven by a mysterious chauffeur, who would drive them goodness knows where? But the sol dier boys quietly marched to the car line and went to the fort. Well, the next morning came and with it a flickering' light on the pres ence of the unbidden guests. Some one, some dear sweet friend who had the same affection for all concerned as a pussy has for a puppy, had post ed invitations to the soldiers and in vited them to the reception "just as a joke," they said. Well, the whole family are looking for that sweet friend and when they locate him or her, the third degree will be more pastime compared with the punish ment that will be meted out to that individual. It was a mean trick on the soldiers, too, for they were perfectly innocent and surprised that they were not more cordially welcomed. But then they enjoyed the refreshments at any rate, for the coffee was hot and the night was cold. QLBERT McCORNICK was the host at a delightful dinner Tues day evening at the Hotel Utah, in honor of Mr. and Mrs. C. E.
