BOOTH. ee WASHINGTON, Aug. 2%.—President Taft was grieved to hear of the death of Gen. Willlam Booth, the Salvation \rmy leader. He dictated to-day the following statement: “Gen. Booth was one of the remark- ble characters of the world. He had @ Genius for the organization of men and women against vice and for the up- Ufting of those usually regarded as lost (ym immorality and crime. The Salvation Army was for years the subject of ridi- ule and was looked upon by many sen- @ible and good men as a ridiculous Parade of notoriety seeking persons, Gen, Booth and his most remarkable family had lived long enough to see the @alvation Army grow to be a force in every great country in the world. He was as fully entitled to the term ‘gen- I" as any military officer who mar- ehalled his armies in the fel, for it was in this respect that he shone as a leader of men and women and as an organizer of their enthustastic emotions that he has made for righteousness among the People of the world to whom progress toward better things seemed tmpos- sible.” | LONDON, Aug. 21.—Out cf respect for the memory of the late Gen, Will- fam Booth, commander-in-chief of the Salvation Army, who died at Hadley Wood, a suburb of London, last even- ing, all the flags Moating on Salva Army headquarters throughout country have been halfmasted. King George's message, sent to Bram- well Booth at the Salvation Army Head- quarters this morning was as follows: ‘Lam grieved to hear tho sad news of the death of your father.

I. R.,” Who Is Frequently Ogled. BY NIXOLA GREELEY-SMITH. NIKO GREELEYSMITH Here at last is a serious defense of the Johnny, a letter written by a man who justifies his fellows in the Practice of street “mashing” and other merry little ways of which New York girls complain. Inci- flentally the “female Johnny” is rid- dled with scorn which I must say seems to me to be deserved, I would rather see a man admit the prevalence of the “Masher” in New York and attempt to defend him than one unsophisticated or disingenuous enough to deny that he exists. Thave received letters from young women also—though not very many—who assert that the “masher” addresses a womnn who has not encouraged him or who js not Indiscreetly attired, All 1 can say to a girl who protests that “while ‘very attractive’ she has never been addressed by a strange man” {s that she is phenomenally lucky or that she over-estimates her Charms, I agree unreservedly with the young women who contend that one may have the concentration of ® steam engine, the reserve and reluctance of a car window on ® wet day and the garb o! a penitent and still not escape being ad- Grosse as ‘Hello, dreamy eyes!” or “Sweetness,” or “Woosy,” oF whatever happens to be the mash- er's favorite epithet. However, let us hearken to the de- fense of the “masher” and to some ad- ditional comments on a remark I made the other day that women are, in great majority, sex emancipated. The writer of this letter inquires who are we that we should criticise the work of the Creator? And with me all argument ceases when I encounter the supernat- ural, Iam very glad to give the author of this interesting letter the right of way, DOUBTLESS THERE ARE MEN WHO SHOULD BE BEASTS. Dear Madam: When they are all through abusing poor Johnny, the facts will nevertheless remain thus: When Johnny tries to get acquainted with @ girl he ts obeying an instinct which Nature gave him. He may not, in doing #0, act wisely in the light of our conventional ways of thinking, but still he simply follows @ very natural impuffe and is, most times, willing to back it with his Wn Money spent for the enjoyment of the so-called unwise girl who may isten to his attentions.

Dear Madam: Why do men go back to the plain girls after wining and dining the beautiful doll? Answer; Contempt for sald “doll.” Why the contempt? 3ecause, when said doll {s taken out on Sunday and a heavy bank-roll {# put Into circulation, and | when former owner of sald bank-roll | is “broke,” why, he gets the rah- zoo, which tg the Indian term for | “cola shoulder.”” Another cause for men having contempt for sald ‘doll’ fs the fact that she never cares | where the money comes from.

Dead Madam: I have benefited and certainly have been enlightened considerably as to the ways of Man through their own letters, and I thank them for thelr instructions. 1 think the men are all wrons in their idea of the modern «irl, How little men seem to appreciate us. Yet they praise our mothers, and don't we usually inherit their ways and follow in their footsteps? 1 have formed Atty or more friend- ships with girl atenographers or book- keepers and each of them plainly dressed, hard working, good, true and kind girl and there are thousands of such, If he doubts my statement Jet him nd at Perry's and wateh the girls pass after their day's work, dolled up and rouged be- yond recognition?

Why do so many foreigners marry our girls and why does every- body praise our American women? E cause they rouge and use hypocrisy to no end? Hardly, And yot, right here in New York City, ls an Amer- {can man who claims he can't find his ideal among the Yankee girls, Pretty bad condition the girls must be in, but, I really believe there is something wrong with him, for New York City holds so many, many charming girls, Why shouldn't @ girl appear indifferent to man, She @oesn't know whether he {x sincere.
