I Dorit Mix CLEAN and DSJRIY Dollars!
I If the late Lewis Kohl, theatrical
man. had earned Ml money by
working with a transit and level or
digging potatoes, and if Capt. A. S.
Evanc, tho Colorado mininEr and
railroad magnate, had Inherited his
millions instead of earning them,
the course of love of their children
WOllld have run smoothly.
This Rummer Miss Caroline- Kohl,
daughter of the theatrical magnate,
might not be in Europe because of
the loss of her hearts desire, and
Ernest Evanp. son of the Captain,
-would not be wishing there was no
Buch thing as money.
Captain Evans is what might be
called n self-made man. He forged
to the front in tho Industrial world
by the efforts of his own genius. He
became a railroad magnatc'and Is
one of 'he owners of bjg Steamboat
spring, Colo., and Nevada, copper
mine.
Lewis Kohl made the greater
part of his wealth in the theatrical
world. When he died he owned
four theaters in Chicago and much
other valuable property. He was a
man of high social standing and
his wife stood higher than he if
anything. He left each one of Ml
daughters, Caroline and Dorothy, a
fell In with 1! the plans, when
Mamma Kohl played her trump
card and whisked her twin daugh
ters off to Palm Beach, thinking
that amid now scones, Caroline
would forget her distant lorcr. The
pirls were conspicuous on the bath-in-
beach, at the Poinciana and th
Breakers, by their cleverness and
good looks and wonderful clothes
and soon began to be pointed out as
the "Millionaire Sisters," while
erefy voting man with an aX to

they found what a nenormous dot
went with tho
twill sisters. In

girls are twins, 20 years old. Sud-
j denly it was announced, unofficially,
that Caroline was to marry young
Evans.
Suddenly again it was announced
that both the sisters would tour
Europe and nothing more was said
I about the wedding.
I The trouble was the kind of
. dollars the other person had. Mr
ji Evans being a man who had earned
i his own money did not want his son
J to marry Into a theatrical and high
society family. He did not believe
his dollars should mix with their.
Jl Mrs, Kohl was just as emphatic
that the dollars of her daughters
should not mix with the Evans
1 dollars. She sot down her blue
book and social register and could
H find no reference to that man

open night and day for the discus

munity uses during vacation time.
To do all this schools must bo
UUllt with a view to a wider service
for the community, he asserted.
He would have schools equipped
with bowling alleys, gymnasiums,
library rooms, baths, lecture rooms,
and ha,,s for movblg picture exhi
bitions. Ths mrtvbiK nicturos. Mr.
Call characterizes as "the greatest
labor saving device since the print
ing press."
"Washington Is handicapped by
the policy of constructing small
school buildings," he stateel. "I
believe that policy to be a mistaken
one. Before long the Capital must
construct many new buildings for
school purposes, and then this
mistaken policy should be aban
doned. Instead of the present small
buildings there should be construct
ed (at only slightly Increased cost)
large plants which would prorid
for these general activities, as well
as for the actual school sessions."
By way of centralizing these ac
tivities, every city should have a
social engineer. Mr. Call believes
as is now the practice in Eerkeley,
Cai, He should be given the nec
essary assistants, and the position
Kbould correspond to that of the
city engineer.
These suggestions are not mere"
theories, but are the outgrowths of
definite experiences In various parts
of the country," he stated. Tho

would not break his heart, Mrs.
Kohl succeeded in influencing Caro

parents watching and criticising
every move, the course of true love
cannot lc said to havo run very

years she has been studying niufli
abroad, In Germany, it first, anil
for the most part ot the tlm-i in St.
Petersburg under the great master
I ' I ' I i J Aucr.
In Russia she play -d nt many o
the homes of the members of tht
court. And on one of these occa
sions, whllo she was playing In th
palace of a great .loMcman and
close friend of tho Czar, the mem
bers ..I bis family fell In love With
tho little American girl.
Her mother, who had accom
panied her had been obliged to re
turn to America on account of poor
health. It was then that the Itua
slan family insisted that Katherini
BhOUld make ner home with them
until her mother w?.3 able to return
to Russia. i
Foi almost three years Miss Still
Inga lived in one of tho most won
derfUl palaces (n all St. Petersburg.
She all ended court weddings, mag
nificent receptions at tho palace, of
tho Czar, the opera, and counties
other functions that form part ol
the life of perhaps the most bril
liant capital In tho world.
In the summer Lho family di
vided their time between the con-
tinent and their throe great estate
in different parts ot Russia. Ono
of these estates consists of GOO
acres. The great castle contains an
army of servants. There are 500 I
horses, costly motor cars, the com
plete retinue of a member of tho
Russian court.
When the time came for Mrs.
Stllllngs to go back to St. Peters
burg to lake her daughter horn,
there was consternation in the
beautiful home where she had spent
almost three years.
The daughters two of whom
"ere about her own age, insisted
that the American girl should not
leaye them. The mother was eo,ual
ly as firm. And the great nobli -man
himself thought he had settlai
things when he said:
'You must never le-ave us. You
shall stay here am", we shall adopt
you. You will become one of my
daughters."
'And have you regretted that you
made such a choice?" she was
nskod.
"No Indeed." was (he repl in tho
delightful foreign accent she has
i cquired in her long resldenco
abroad, "it Is not that I like Rus
sia less, but that 1 like America
more. One's own country always
comes first, doesn't it?"
Next to the United States, how
ever, Miss Stillings Is convinced
that Russia Is the most glorious
country in the world.
"I liked it. of course. Any girl
would, i think. I hae never seen
bui h magnificence a-s there is at
the Russian court. It was all very
wonderful. 4
The modern dances haven't
reached St Petersburg. Mls9 Still
ings says The mazurka, the waltz
and the old-fashioned squaro
dances are the only ones seen
there"
Miss SI i I lings will go abroad
again In October, first to Germany
and late r 'n the season to St. Pe
tersburg, where she has a number
of engagements to play. She will
