Meanwhile just what, where and why is a beau parlor? I tried to find out from Miss Geary, but the person who told me of her ab- sence added that her great idea had been worked out most interestingly right here in New York—to be exact, at the Harriet Judson Home of the Y. W. C. A, No, 60 Nevins Street, Brooklyn. They are there! I counted them myself—six delightful little parlors, all in varying but harmonious shades of brown, each with its two trim chairs, high backed corner seat, small round table and excellent pictures, The beau parlor is not a “play” room, a thing of portieres and acreens. It is solidly partitioned off from its neigh- bors, and the only chaperon is the open doorway which fronts on the big main reception room that reaches half the length of the house. There are two double parlors, so that girl chums may entertain together. Every night in the week thi beau parlors are eccupied, and first aide to Cupid they have a ready proved themeeives invaiua- ble.

By Marguerite Mooere Marshall, That's the nowest social specific prescribed for the girl away from home. And to everybody who hasn’t-a desiccated heart and a mislaid imagination the beau parlor must sound like splendid institution. Miss Bertha Geary, who fills an important position with the National Board of the Young Women's Chris- tian Association, is credited with originating the idea. Miss Geary is usually to be found at her New York headquarters, but just now she is carrying her idea on a long trip through the Middle West. It had its latest airing at Milwaukee the other day, when she took it and church workers. “Beau parlors would add greatly to the present facilities of the Milwaukee Y. W. C. A.,” she declared intrepidly. “There should be plenty of opportunity for courting. Just as long as there are pretty girls to live in associations, there will be beaux to entertain, and there is no use in side-tracking the beau question.” 4% Manning, who is working on the case, | pretty girls.” ‘but insisted that her name be not|GIRL8 ON HONOR; NO RULES)* 2 aed: BUT HIGH STANDARDS, * “Marie, is a good girl.

Willlam J. Ryan, who came to New York from Havana on the Ward liner Esperanza. Capt. Ryan has been for several years in command of the big Ward Line tug Auxiliar, which was used for towing, lighterage and general emergency work in Cuban waters, The Auxiliar flew the Mexican flag. She {s now lying in Havana Harbor ~‘ith no flag at all, and Capt. Ryan and his crew of ten men have come to New York for direct instructions. On Feb, 27 the Auxiliar arrived in Progreso, the port of the State of Yucatan, to find that Yucatan had ro- belled against Carranza and set up an independent government. From outward appearances the Yacete In- dian populace was in sincere revolt. In the harbor was the Mexican Navy, consisting of the gunboat Pro- greso, having on board about 200 Carranzalstas, ‘The Yacetos had warned the Progreso to leave, but | the warnings had been Ignored. Capt, Ryan anchored the Auxiliar a short distance from the Progreso, One day a boat went ashore from the Progreso for supplies, and among the supplies was what the commander of the gunboat thought was @ barre! of butter, on the forward deck of the gunboat with other supplies, awaiting removal to the galley. Within an hour after the barrel of butter was taken aboard the Progres- so it exploded. The crafty Yacetes had hidden away in the barrel some sort of infernal machine of tremen- dous power. Some twenty of the crew of the Progresso were killed and as many more wounded, The gunboat went to the bottom. Capt. Ryan picked up about 140 survivors, Without the gunboat the Carranza- istas help! and Capt.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn., March 15,— Special officers were assigned to-day to keep in order the multitude of ‘women who tried to force their way into the courtroom at the ti of Mrs. Helen M. Angie, cuaneul with causing the violent death of Waldo R. Ballou, her sixty-nine-year-old suitor, last June, | Many were turned from the doors. It was reported in some of the Bridge- port newspapers that Mrs. Angle would take the stand in her own de- fense as the first witness to-day. More than half the spectators who appeared carly enough to get ecate were women. Mra, Seraphina Klahre, police mat- ron at Stamford, was the first witness under cross examimtion by Attorney Jacob Klein, Sho told of the con- filcting explanations given by Mrs. Angle after prints of bloodstained feet were followed from the sidewalk, when Ballou was found, to the door of her apartment. Former Judge N. C. Downs, counsel for Mrs, Angle, asked the privilege of addressing the jury, even though thé prosecutor had waived bis opening ad- dress. The motion was denied and the defense opened at half-past eleven. i Samuel Murphy, janitor of the Rip- Powam Building, in which Mrs. Angle lived, and Ezra Hay, lodgo treasurer, contradicted the State's witnesses. They said the lower stairs had no appearance of having been washed Just after Ballou's fall. Former Councilman Acorn of Stam- ford said he had often seen Ballou buying bottles of Nquor near Mrs. Angie’s~ home and had seen him drinking In saloons. Dr. Jacob Ne- motnten sald Ballou’s breath smelled of whiskey when he was picked up. ————» = WILLIAMS RESIGN? NO! just compiled. The birth and death rate and the number of marriages during December, 1914, were approx- imately the eame as during the same month in 1918, ‘The figures show that 73,400 gueste registered at Berlin hotels in Decem- ber, 1914, or 80,000 leas than the year before.

Ryan to go out to the Morro Castle. On reaching that vessel they demanded the 140 eurvivors of the gunboat wreck, Capt. Huff of the Morro Castle re- fused to give up the men. He was through there anyhow for that trip, so he headed his ship out into the Gulf of Mexico and went on his way. The Yacetes commanded Capt. Ryan to return to Progresso, where they went ashore. They relinquished charge of the tug, but asked Capt. Ryan to take a delegation of forty citizens as far as Havana on thelr way to the United States, These cit!- zens were empowered to seck ald in this country for the Yucatan revolu- tion, On the arrival of the Auxillar at Havana the Carranza Mexican Consul there, learning that the tug had trans- ported rebel Yacetes from Progresso, went aboaid and revoked the right to use the Mexican flag. Having for- felted her American registry when she went under the Mexican flag, the Auxiliar was @ sea orphan and could not go anywhere, She will probably be put back under American registry. Capt. Ryan sald that Yucatan had now 40,000 men under arms and was prepared to use them in maintaining her Independence. “I was told by some of the party,” Capt.
