The Memorial Bridge. Undoubtedly the wisest decision lus been reached in respoct to the project- ed memorial bridge across the Poto- mac river. This great viaduct, which is to symbolize the reunion of the | Ametican sections and to connect the two shrines of American patriotism, the memorfal to Abraham Lincoln and the home of Robert E. Lee, now the home of the dead of American wars will cross the Potomac divectly between these points. A suggestion jthat it be placed somewhat to the north has, after the most careful con- sideration, been rejected in favor of the first pian contemplatcd, and this decision has been reached in a way to insure PLarmonious and ¢ntha iv work to the end of the earliest possible completion of the great memovial.

(Appleton.) Who is the Lady Susan, And what has she been doing? The title looks inviting, since nothing else in the wide world so seasons one up to the exact taste of public appetite as per- sonal indiscretions. Now, a crime is raw and coarse—olearly, in the kale iand cabbage olass, mere food rough- age, which the delicate palate prompt- 1y rejects. But an indiscretion—single or in series—that 18 something differ- ent. Tt is of an eplcurean cast, fra- grant with blended flavors of temper- ment, spiced with daring, salted with adventure. Béfore it the little cells and nerves of taste set up an auto- matic activity in-molst anticipation of the tidbit. ‘Discretion, even, has no chance beside indiscretion. 'If this title had been—well, say, “The Plety of Susan* it would have been met, generally, with the dry mouth of dia- tuste that is produced on a chilly morning by an 18land of cold oatmeal in @ sea of blue milk. ok ok % | A first tasual glancd at the title {fuiled, with us, to register an im- Iportant fact about its* foundation j'word.
