What Women Are Doing
THINGS thnt lead to marriage arfl
almost as numerous aw things
that lead from it. For example,
here is a young couple ted to matri
mony through iv lump of sugar. Not
that they passed through the sugar,
ledgefSdmaln like, but the sugar wan
responsible for their marriage. The
young couple is composed, naturally,
of two persons, Their names are Clo
tilda Johnson and Arthur 11. Kelly.
They live In Manhattan. The story
goes thus:
The two of them mot at a dinner
table on the floating hotel, the Ar
buckle, lying at the foot of Bast Twen
ty-third Street, Manhattan, two years
ago. They found themselves seated In
a straight line opposite each other at
Hie table, Miss Johnson asked Mr.
Kelly to pass the sugar, please. He
was more than pleased to pass it. Miss
Johnson took one lump. It was the
fatal lump. Later they men and Kelly.
.still later It la to be hoped, told
Miss Johnson that as sure as the vine
grows 'round the stump, she had It
all over sugar when it came to a ques
tion of sweetness. Bounds Billy, doesn't
It, but it is not, or It led to marriage,
one of the nation's greatest Institu
tions.
Mr. and Mrs. Kelly now live in a
snug little suito in Brooklyn. In honor
of the lump of sugar which brought
them together, it is said, they have
sugar on their table at each meal.
Mrs. W. R. ChlvlS, St. Louis, had
said something about the general fed
eration of women's clubs. Mrs. Chivls
Is the state vice president for Mis
souri, so she ought to know. No one
would dare assert that Mrs. ('hivis
doesn't know. Mrs. cliivis, before
leaving St. Louis for tho Cinclnnatti
biennial, gave the federation particu
lar lltsi as they say behind the coun
ters in the department stores. "The
federation is a big show and It needs
strenuous reorganisation," sho said.
Would not that make you shudder long
and loud? She also made a number of
other remarks not so very nice about
tho way tho federation monkeys at
its conventions and wastes lots of
good time.
Mrs. Chivis Is one of the loading wo
men of the Missouri federation. She
has brought more clubs into her state
federation In the last three years than
any other woman in the state. She Is
well known In the general federation
and was one of tho tellers at the elec
tion at the Boston biennial in 1908.
Another chorus girl has gone to the
pood. Miss Estelle Perry has desert
ed the footlights of Broadway. The
footlights, although greatly grloved,
expressed their Intention in a recent
Interview of continuing to glimmer In
spite of Estelle's absence. Estelle'a
papa has discovered a gold mine and

Defendant in Divorce Case Says
He Never Was Married
to the Plaintiff
Isaiah H. Smith, defendant in the di
vorce suit of Mrs. Minnie Smith, who
alleges desertion, took the stand in his
own behalf in Judge Monroe's court
yesterday and said there had been no
marriage ceremony of any kind per
formed between him and "Mrs." Smith,
who has been known for years in San
Bernardino as Minnie Abbott.
He said his marriage to Mrs. Keat
ing, widow of the nitrate king, was
legal in every way. He had never re
garded Mrs. smith as his wife, he said,
and wentMnto a history of his associa
tion with her as far back as 1887, when
she was a girl of 15 and he was 17
after he first met her she
told him she was tired of living at
home, he said, and asked him to help
her leave. At her suggestion he ob
tained a marriage license with which
to satisfy the girl's mother but it was
agreed that there was to be no mar

Smith was selected to show the old
lady," Who had somewhat of a temper,
the marriage certillcate, and on tho
stand yesterday he told of its reception
by Mrs. Abbott, mother of Mrs. Smith.
"I took the license into the kitchen,
said Seward, "and showed it to her.
She said 'To h- with the marriage.
Let Minnie go and do as she picas, s^
The defendant testified that aftei
this ne and the girl had left the.house
to live together on Sepulveda street.
Several witnesses from San Bernar

billions could keep any girl away bad
she once been there.
Mrs. Sol Smith, the veteran actress
whose eightieth birthday was celebrat
ed by a dinner of the Professional Wo
men's league in New rork, said of
the modern spirit a 1 the dinner:
"The modern spirit is more mercen
ary than the spirit of the '50's. l know
a very beautiful girl— ln my day she
would ha vi been married before she
wan eighteen-but though she is now
twenty iiv, her matrimonial prospects
are dark and gloomy.
"At a tea I pointed the beautiful
creature out to a young lawyer and
said:<
" 'There's nothing sweeter and love
Her than that girl In America. Why
don't you try for her hand?'
" 'What has she got in it." the young
lawyer coldly replied."
Mrs. Gertrude; Atlif rton dons not ap
prove ot' the modern magazine. At a
luncheon at New York she Bald:
"The advertisements In the average
magazine are more interesting than
the notion. Thn magazines' advertise
ments of themselves are very inter
esting. I often read them in the
impels.
"But a certnln magazine took once
to advertising foolishly by means of
personal letters, A critic got this let
ter:
" 'Dear Brown—Have you seen ar
ticle in this month's Trash Magazine?
Heavens, can it be true?—X."
"But the critic, not to be fooled,
sent to the editor of Trash—in an un
stamped envelope so that double pos
tage would be charged —this answer:
" 'Tie;ir X—l have' seen one previous
number of the Trash Magazine, and
with heart and soul I hope never to
see another. This is quite true. —
Brown.' "
Emily Dorothy Wurster, age 7, the
littlest leading lady with Robert Hll
liard in "A Fool There Was," is an
aristocrat among stage children.
No leading lady, big or little, is more
pampered than Emily, who has the.
good sense to remain quite unspoiled.
She has a Pullman stateroom when she
travels and is accompanied by her
mother and sister and a governess.
Everybody from star to stage hand
kowtows to little "Boots," as she is
called, but she remains just a healthy,
normal child, with a maturity of com
prehension and expression quite start
ling at times.
The other day Mr. Hilliard, who has
never had a dramatic success In which
the child did not figure, was gallantly
escorting Emily up Broadway. She
blew a kiss to an elderly gentleman
entering an automobile and smiled
upon him sweetly.
"Someone you know?" inquired Mr.
Milliard Jealously.
"I met him on the train coming from
Philadelphia," replied Miss Wurster,
guardedly.
"Does he know who you are?
"He knows mv name."
"Does he know that you are in my
company?"
"Oh, no," said Emily with quiet dig
nity. "I do not consider it good taste
to advertise my profession."

Tn the humorous speech that Senator
Stone made regarding the investiga
tion of the cost of living, he called
attention to Senator Kean's committee
and the part it took in holding up the
IXKlcre resolution. Kean is chairman
of t,ho committee on auditing and con
trol of the contingent expenses of the
senate, and exercises wide influence
because nearly every senator wishes
to get something from the committee.
Senator Stone remarked that the com
mittee had never been called in ses
sion. "The senator from Missouri does
an injustice to the chairman of the
committee," interjected Senator Clapp
of Minnesota. "It is understood that
tiiis is the one committee of the sen
ate that is always in session during
the waking hours of the chairman."
And that pretty nearly states the
case, for Kean meets with himself and
reports or refuses to report, accord
ing to the will of the managers of the
senate.

University of Michigan. Mcnoberts
noticed that an old man at the end of
the platform was crying as if his heart
would break. He moved toward the
ancient man, intent upon offering con
dolence.
"I beg your pardon," said Mcßoberts,
"but may I inquire what is wrong?"
"Yes," said the old man. checking
till sobs. "1 ,lust got word that my
father had died over in the next county
and now I'm an orphan."
"Why, how old are you?" asked Mc-
Roherts.
"Seventy-two," and the feeble old
man broke out afresh with his lamen
tation*,
"Well, sir," said Moßobertfl, "I think
that you have one consolation. I don't
doubt that you are one of the oldeit
orphans In this country. That ought
to mean something to you In your
sorrow."

Around Hotel Corridors
LOS ANGELES hotel clerks will soon
have an organization among them
selves something similar to the
"Greeters" and "Don't Worry" organ
izations of other large cities if the ag
itation which is now on foot keeps up.
At the meeting in Denver of the
"Oreeters of America," a national or
ganization among hotel clerks will
come into being and of every section
of the country Los Angeles and vi
cinity will probably be the only one
not represented. This fact is seeming
ly going against the grain With th"
local desk men, hence the movement
to organize a club here.
Of all the clerks on watch yester
day afternoon, who were seen, every
ono was In favor of such an organiza
tion With the exception of Hugh Sib
bold, room clerk at the Alexandria.
The other clerks about town, K. G.
Washington of the Lankershim, Fred
Proshrey and Fred Wood of the Hay
ward, Room Clerk Mullen of the An
gelus, Tommy Law of the King Ed
ward and A! Selby of the Hollenbeck,
all seemed to take a different view of
the matter and expressed themselves
as ready and willing at any time to
enter such an organization.
K. <;. Washington, who' was one of
the organizers of the San Francisco
association, is very enthusiastic about
the new organization and is doing all
in his power to boost the thing along.
Mr. Presbrey of the Hayward is also
strongly in favor of such an organiza
tion, believing that it would be of un
told benefit to the clerks in Los An
geles, if organized and conducted on
proper lines. And Mr. Presbrey knows
something about it, for there is hardly
a hotel man in Los Angeles who has
had any more experience about hotels
than Mr. Presbrey.
Tommy Law is strong for the organ
ization and also he has had some ex
perience With associations of this char
acter and recent ones, too. The "Don t
Worry" club of Douglas, a town of
about one-twentieth the size of Los
Angeles, was organized and run on the
same plan as the proposed clerks' club
and it was an unqualified success
The only thing that seems to be in
the way of such a club is the lack of
someone to head the movement Here
Is a dandy chance for someone to come
from under cover and start things go
ing. If someone would only do that
the clerks themselves would finish the
business and be organized in short or
der.
Col. Edward Durham of the King
Edward hotel was standing behind the
desk at his house winding string on
a "What are you doing that for?"
S°™ fo'lake that much string
home every night," replied the colonel,
and he went on winding. .
After he had finished, the inquisitive
one asked Tommy Law, what on earth
the colonel did with all the twine each
e™Bee*those flowers there?" said Tom
my. "That's what he uses It for. He
brings in bouquets of flowers each
morning from his home and he uses
that string to tie them up with.
"But what in thunder does he do
with the flowers? He had enough
string there to wrap up a dozen bun
dles. 1 only see two there? ,
"He does wrap up a dozen bunches,
and them some," explained Tommy.
"Haven't you heard? The colonel pre
sents a bouquet of flowers grown out
at his home on West Adams Heights
to every woman guest who comes to
this house. He never misses a one.
As soon as a guest, that/is a woman
guest, arrives he sends a bunch or
flowers to her room. And say it does
tickle them. Easterners, you know,
who don't get real ffowers very often
are simply dee-light-ed to get them.
"And it's getting noised abroad, too.
A traveling man was telling me the
other day of a woman telling him on i
the train out In Arizona about the I
flowers the colonel sent her."
When consulted about the matter,
the colonel admited that he did send
flowers to his guests. Said that was
what he grew them for.
Gee, how thew are jollying C. Kip
haut. a New Yorker, who is a guest at
the Hollenbeek. As soon as he appears
on the horizon in the morning and
just before he retires at night some
one hands him a bunch about —shell
shell sanies-shot gun shell or any
other kind of shells.
The season—Mr. Kiphaut bucked a
shell game the other day.
You gee he is city ticket agent for
