V THE SUNDAY OUEGOmX, PORTLAND, 191G. - - . ... : t ' . . . tW. ft MISS FRANCES HAWKE, OF" LAWRENCE, R, I., WHO MARRIED MAJOR. HILL, 0K OP THE HEROES OK THE DARDANELLES CAMPAIGN. Mtf Mere Football Wizards, But Soldiers and Flying Men, Now Winning the Grand Prizes of the Marriage Game in America as Elsewhere BY BARBARA CRATDON. THE Gibsonesque young man who motors down to his office in the morning, adorned in the latest cut of tailored clothes, who makes money as easily as he spends it lavish, whose broad shoulders and expansive chest give unmistakable hiht of bis triumphs on the football field, whose voice is soft and persuasive in the moonlight he is not "the devil with the women" he once was, judging from the engage ment columns of newspapers the coun try over. Those columns tell a different story. The girl'of today whose heart is sub ject to capture in a short campaign the impressionable maiden whose heart strings flutter with love at first sight demands heroism in these times not merely the heroism of sport and play that jeopardises limb, but the cour age that challenges death. In large measure, love follows the style and season. The football hero wins his "girl" in the football season. During great political campaigns the young lawyer with the gift for spell binding has dozens of girls thinking he's "grand." When dancing was such a craze, the fellow" who couldn't "swing a light foot" was the short end of a 100-to-l shot for a girl's hand in com petition with the lithe, graceful young chap who studied "under the Castles." Romance Follows Courage. The j-eal spirit of these times is that of heroism. Romance keeps step with bravery. The anthem of love is not a flowing, seductive moonlight lilt, but a brisk, dashing, swinging march with the inspiriting cornets, trombones and drums stirring up the "fighting blood corpuscles." The gold piece, the medal set with precious stones, the silver lov ing cup their glitter is greater but their magnetism negligible compared to the brass button. The picturesque and interesting ro mances of the day, as revealed in the newspapers from time to time, concern the heroes. If Miss Lovestruck hasn't fallen in love with one of the Ameri can aviators flying for France, possibly she has with an aviator in this country who risks his life from day to day, and who she pictures flying over the ene my's camp, confounding the invader with his daring and strategy, and sav ing the Nation. If the parents of Miss Susceptible are not announcing the engagement of their daughter to the Canadian Captain who captured a strategic position "al most single-handed," then it is to one of the boys on the border who went to the front when the call came, and who she knows, would have been the hero of the war had there been one. One doesn't read in these days of the girl who lost her heart to the diamond warrior who stole home in the ninth inning with the score tied, or the sub stitute quarterback who circled the ends and tore his way through a field of furiously fighting opponents for a 65-yard run to a touchdown which won the game for his alma mater in the last two minutes of play. They are dashing, militant, pictur esque, but not death-defying. Their heroism is sportive," not serious. They are not the kind of heroes she has been reading about every day; who, majes tically calm, sing of home as the bul lets whistle death chants in their ears or dash through a curtain of fire on a blood-drenched field, and shout their hurrahs in a cannons mouth. The gladiators of sport are not the heroes who fire the fancies of the.lovelorn and people their dreams in these patriotic, soul-stirring days. And be it said to the glory of American democracy, the hero-husband fad has not been confined to one class. The natty young maid who makes her "mistress" look pretty for $20 a week rushes to the door when the postman's whistle blows, and with feverish fingers runs through the mall to find the letter from "her brave boy, her beau, on the border." i The pretty "little trick" with golden :urls cascading over her . ears and dreamy eyes that seem to see not, who had her heart all set on catching a mil lionaire, announces now with an un mistakable glow of pride, that the young insurance agent who has been decorated as the result of his exploits in the foreign legion, will be wedded to her when he returns from the fields of France. ' The young heiress who had planned with her millions to marry her way into the most exclusive of the Newport set, loses her heart and gives her hand to the steely-eyed young daredevil whose aeroplane went awry while looping the loop, who asked for a cigarette while the ambulance squad was separating him from the wreckage, and who whistled one of these Hawai ian "icky wacky woo" strains while the surgeon was carving splinters out of nis neck. The Lure of the filiform. Even the gay and giddy creature, whose idea of the ultimate in happiness is contained within the four lurid walls of a midnight palace where French waiters perform dextrous feats . of legedermaln with steaming dishes and pop-corking bottles, can't make her eyes behave when an upstanding young man with epaulettes on his shoulders comes marching in. A glance at the social register shows ine trend or the times. In view of that trend, there was no surprise when a few days ago an nouncement was made of the marriage of Lieutenant James Allen Dyson Perrins, Adjutant of the FirBt Welsh Guards, and Miss Marie Louise Rode wald, daughter of William McNeill Rodewald, of New York and Tuxedo. Miss Rodewald is a noted equestrienne, a favorite at Newport, and a society leader in New York. Lieutenant Per rins has distinguished himself in the war. His father was retired in 1892 as captain of the Fourth Battalion. Highland Light Infantry, was Mavor of Worcester during the Jubilee year, and Is a life Governor of Birmingham university. A.

NEW YORK -SEEMS MORE CROWDED THAN EVER . WITH GREAT HOSTS OF CHRISTMAS SHOPPERS Afternoon Tea Not teast of Cityg Many Diversions Campaign Under Way to Induce People to Walk to Work to Lessen Traffic Problem and Gain Health Interrupted Dinner Is Latest Fad in Gotham. BY GETTA R. WASSERMAN. NEW YORK, Dec. 18. (Special.) There Is more than ever a tendency this year toward early Christmas shopping, and each day the avenue, with Its adjacent cross streets, is crowded with pedestrians, as well as with all sorts and conditions of vehicles, so much so that a visit to that part of town is attended with almost as much danger as one to the war zones of Europe. There is a constant stream of traffic and, though it is -regulated at most of the intersecting streets, cross ing is extremely, difficult and driving requires an iron nerve and a. steady hand. i The shops are crowded but not over crowded and. although we are being continually warned of a probable short age in goods, there appears . to be a plentiful supply on hand. Wearing apparel is quite a good deal higher in price, but other articles seem to be about the same as last year. There are such a great number of small or specialty shops here that one cannot help wondering where, in spite of the immense population of New York and the number of visitors from other cities, they get their buying public. One of the most attractive features of life in this metropolis is afternoon tea, which many of the fashionable hotels and restaurants of the city feature. The artistic surroundings, beautifully gowned women, with-their well-groomed escorts, splendid music, lights, flowers and all the accessories, make that hour one of the most de lightful of the entire round of the clock. A new I. W. W. campaign has been started in New York, the letters spelled out meaning "I Walk to Work," which is the slogan of a new organization, which aims to promote health among a large percentage of people, whose oc cupation keeps them from fresh air and outdoor exercise at other times of the Mlaa LouUe Rodewalt (In Fancy Ball Costume). Who Married Lieutenant Perrlna, of the Welsh Guards. day and also. In a way. to relieve the traffic congestion (and no one who has been here recently can realize how in creasingly difficult that has become) by having those within reasonable dis tance walk, at the opening and closing hours of the business day, which are the most crowded. Prizes and medals will be offered in walking contests and other inducements made in an effort to get a large membership. A novelty of the week waa the "Ad vertisement Ball." given at the Rltz Carlton Hotel for the benefit of the Lenox Hill settlement. The costumes were reproductions of advertising cards and other such matter as one sees in the cars, newspapers and magazines, and some very original as well as very gorgeous ones were worn. The walls of the ballroom were covered with en largements of the same type, by well known artists and illustrators. Many smart dinner parties preceded the dance, which for originality was voted one of the most successful affairs of the season. Another new form of entertainment Is the "interrupted dinner," as it might be called. Part of the dinner Is partaken of before the piay and the remainder after. Ell Tolstoy, second son of the famous writer. Count Tolstoy, arrived here the past week and will give lectures in this country. He intends also to write a series of articles on the United States for a newspaper of Moscow, of which he Is spetlal correspondent. Mr. Tolstoy, who is 50 years old. Is well known in his country for his own work and not alone as the son of a famous father. In an Interview, he spoke of the people of Russia as confident of eventual victory in the war and denied that there was any talk of a separate peace with Germany. Mr. Tolstoy's mother still lives near Tola, Russia, and is in ex cellent health. - Miss Esther Cleveland, daughter of the one-time President of the United States, is in France, working among the blind soldiers. Mrs. Henry Russell Talbot, who left recently for abroad to do Red Cross work, is in the hospital of Lady Alan Johnson, who is a sister of Glfford Plnchot. Rev. Mr. Talbot, formerly rector of Ft. David's Episcopal Church of Portland, was one of nine men. who crossed on the same steamer, all going to join the American Volunteer Motor Ambulance Corps, under "Daredevil Dick" Norton. The other eight were Professor Harrison W. Smith, once of Harvard, and the Messrs. Henry H. Hoi lingshed. Walter York. Henry Donald Edwards, Burton Rice. George S. Jack son. E. D. L'HommriMeu and Paul Vtcelll. Louts Gordon Hammersley and C. Merton Haley, who crossed at the same time, took over their own am bulances. Two new books have been added to the Drama League series, published by Doubleday. Page & Co. One consists of former plays, presented by the Wash ington Square Players. "The Clod." by Lewis Beach: "Overtones." by Alice Gerstenberg: "Eugerjically Speaking.' by Edward Goodman, and "Helen's Hus band." bv PhiliD Moeller. The other book Is "Malvaloca. oy Serafln and Joaquin Alvarea Quintero, originally produced In Spanish. A group of amateur actors, calling themselves the "Amateur Comedy Club" and consisting of a number of girls and men of New York's smartest set. gave a series of three performances the past week at the Garden Theater, which were splendidly and most professionally acted. The plays were 'The Crafty Earl," a little comedy by Louis de Courcy; The Monkey's Paw." a, very odd drama, by Louis N. Parker, taken from a story of the same name, by W. W. Jacobs, and a two-act pantomime, "The Bridal Veil." by Austin Strong. Arthur Alexander had a uccessful and artistic concert at Aeolian Hall on Saturday evening of the past week. Miss Emelle Frances Bauer will give her annual series of lectures, which are always a matter of much Interest to the musical and literary folkof Now lork, for the benefit of one of the worthy charities of the city.

Hutchins Hapzood, a brother of Norman Hapgood: usan Glaspel and Louise Bryan. The soci ety originated in the Summer colo nies around Provlncetown. Maes., hence the name. The theater occupies a floor of one of the old houses of that part of New i ork that corresponds to the Latin quarter of Paris. The stage is where the kitchen used to be. Mon day night is the real Greenwich Vil lage night, and on other nights guests from outride the sacred precinct are permitted. By the way. speaking of Greenwich Village reminds me that that is a part of New York the average visitor to the city knows little about, and yet it Is by far the most interesting quar ter, and the one that Is tending to give to this most practical of all cities the color and atmosphere it haa always ConiMndM on Pac Nine. 8 Knocks Obstinate s Coughs in a Hurry ie, 8 A Simple Home-Made Remedy g Q that Geta at the Cause. 8 Thousands of people normally healthy in every other respect, are annoyed with a persistent hanginp-on bronchial coucla year after year, disturbing their sleep and xnakinc life disagreeable. It's so needless there's an old home-made remedy that will end such a couch easily and quickly. Get from any drugcist "2'-4 ounces or Tinex" (50 cents worth), pour it into a pint bottle and fill the bottle with plain franulated sugar svrnp. Begin taking; t at once. Gradually but surely you will notice the pUlt-cm thin out and then disappear altogether, thus ending a cougu that you never thought would end. It also promptly loosens a dry or tight couch, stops the troublesome throat tickle, soothes the irritaU-d mi-mbruiiea that line the throat and bronchial tubes, and relief comes almost immediately. A day's use will usually break up an or dinary throat or chest cold, and for bronchitis, croup, whooping cough and bronchial asthma there is nothing better. It tastes pleasant and keeps perfectly. Pinex is a most valuable concentrated compound of genuine Norway pine ex tract, combined with cruaiacol and is used bv millions of people every year for throat and chest colds with splendid results. To avoid disappointment, ask your druggist for "S'i otinces of Pinex" "with full directions and don't accept anything else.
