He was Thomas Jefferson; one day ¢o become author of the Declaration, President of the United States, Father of Democracy. She ~ | was Martha Skelton, daughter of Counsellor John Wayles and witow of | Bathurst Skelton. When they met she was twenty-one and Jefferson was twenty-six, That was in 1770. Jefferson, like- Washington, “had ever an eye for a fine woman.” As |@ young man he was forever falling in love and out of it again. For ez- |ample, he proposed to Susan Burwell, a Williamsburg, Va., beauty, whom he always spoke of as “Belinda.” He asked her to be his wife and coupled his proposal with the remark that he was in no great hurry to marry, But that he would be glad to wed Susan on his return from an indefinitely Jong trip to Europe. She angrily rejected this luke-warm avowal and soon afterward merried another man. It was while his oft-battered heart waa healing from this wound that Jefferson met Martha Skelton. Theirs was no whirlwind courtship. The wooing lasted two years, from 1770 to 1772.

'N MILWAUKEE there is a City Continuation School that among I other courses gives instruction to salesmanship classes, attended | chiefly by young women. The principal of the department is ted as saying: “We aim to teach these girls the value of service, | above all things the girls are taught to be pleasant.” The rules for being pleasant are four: Greet everybody with « @mafle, increase your vocabulary, cultivate a low voice and be well in- Seemed on current events. These are simple rules, just as pertinent here as in Milwaukee, and just as helpful in society as in @ shop. It ia to be noted, however, that by way of illustrating the effect ef this pleasantness the Principal told of a ealoslady who in dealing wth a customer who wished to get four pictures for a dollar sold her + plotures to the value of $21. It is evidently best, then, for the cus- * tomer to look out for himself when he deals with the smiling ones. fp THE THEATRE AND THE TANGO. HE first manifesto from a leader in the dramatic field an- nouncing the coming campaign of the theatres sets forth as the foe to be overcome, not the moving picture show, but the tango. “Our distinctive work,” he is quoted as saying, “will be to allure people from this craze.” To that end he announces the plays @f the coming winter will be more virile and exciting than those of Jest year. The promise is pleasing, but not high. It will take no great ‘wplift to get plays more virile and more exciting than the eex problem presentations of last winter. It is gratifying, however, to have even this much of a promise, and if the campaign to that end be due to » Gesire to overcome the competition of the dance craze we may have to revise past judgments of the tango and speak of it hereafter as a ifier of the stage and a public benefit. In fact, it may be an justice to speak of it as a craze at all. Perhaps the ceaseless kick and wiggle was the only way in which the pleasure loving world could ‘effectively make known its protest against « theatre given over to problems in place of plays with sexuality eubstituted for sentiment and depravity masqueraded as morality, ee on MAKING FINE ART POPULAR. HE loan exhibitions of art made in the Municipal Gallery in the Washington Irving High School have been so far successful that the attendance has increased from 12,000 ,to 88,000 a month. It is noted, too, that some of the large industrial establish- tents in the neighborhood sent their employees to visit the exhibition end to study the art works as a measure having not only an artistic and recreative, but an economic value. But Jefferson had one great advantage over all other suitors. He was musical. They were not. And Mre. Skelton was music-mad. She had a fine voice and played divinely on the spinet (the plano’s harplike parent), and she cared little for people who could not produce melody. Jefferson had a magnificent voice, and he played the violin better than could any other man in Virginia. it was a musical ‘wooing. Here is a story still told in Virginia: Two men who were courting Mrs. Skelton met by chance In front of her home one day. Each had come thither to ask her to marry him. As they mounted the steps of the house they heard the strains of music through the open drawing room window, Jefferson and Mrs. Skelton were singing a duet, accompanying thems selves on the spinet and the violin, The two callers listened for a few mo- menta, then glanced at each other in sudden understanding, turned around and without a word walked away. They said afterward they had realized then and there that none but acknowledged lovers could sing together in such matchless and sympathetic harmony. Jefferson and Mrs. Skelton began the year of 1772 auspiciously by marrying on New Year's Day. Theg were married at the house of Martha's father. Jefferson, in his delight over the occasion, spent money left and right. He gave the clergyman a big fee, overpaid the musicians, tipped the servants and—ran out of money before the festivities were half over and had to borrow back the fee he had given the clergyman, ‘Then the bride and groom eet out in a travelling coach for Jefferson's 5,000-acre Monticello plantation. The weather was bitter cold and a snow- storm was raging. The snow at last grew so deep that the coach broke down, Jefferson and Martha finished the journey on horseback. Thep reached Monticello at dead of night, worn out and half frozen. Of all the plantation’s fifty-two negro slaves not one was present to + welcome them. Not expecting their master to return until the next day all the servants had retired to their cabins for the night. The big hoyse was deserted, fireless and without lights. It was a gloomy homecoming, the more so since the famished couple could find no food and were forced to make their housewarming feast on a half bottle of stale wine that Jefferson discovered behind a row of books in bie library. Yet the union so cheerlessly begun was destined to be very happy. About a year later Martha's father Gied, leaving his huge fortune to his daughter. For ten years the Jeffersons Lived together in ideal content, mutually devoted. Then, in 1783, at the clase of the Revolution, Martha died—long before her husband reached the pinnacle of his world-greatness, but perhaps not to econ to foresee eomething of the wonderful future that lay ahead of him. “ First Continent Crosser.
