General Wood’s Daughter an Accomplished Rider W ASUINGTONw—She hope-'' to so to France with her father. U*J. Geo. I.<-n5«rd Wood, former chief of the army staff. Now that be la not. his rtarnln* dau*hter. Loolslta Wood. Is a very much disappointed young woman. Athletic, fond of all aorta of ontdonr adventura. Mias Wood, when she ✓—> nr twelre years old, aet a record for ^SBSL ( J long-distance riding for girls. In Oc- *A _ V ^ > _i tuber In 1913 abc galloped Into Fort Myi r. Va, with her father and Col. H. C. lilestoa at the end of the last 45mlle dash of a OO-mlle ride. Ever since *bc has set the pace In hard and longdMmxe riding for girl*. Mias Wood

!» aliiut eighteen years old.

From the tune she conld walk faaMta has been a rider. She learned horsemnnahlp from the troopers at Fort Myer and

a rider as any of them.

Always a favorite with the men. she grew up spending half her time und the stables, never so happy as wnen with the bothca. From her father she Inherits a naturally robust physique, for General tVi»«l even today la a powerful roan, and In hlc youth ana oce of the finest ill-round athletes tn the army. That first long ride she undertook when a twelve-year-old girt was when her futhcr and Colonel Hirst on were obliged to ride that distance in compliance with army regulation to the effect that such a trip be made by officers

It has been Indicated that MaJ. Gen. Leonard Wood, who has been left without a permanent c-omnumd since he was denied overseas service, might command the American forces. Although only a major general and ranked by March and Pershing, who have the rank of general by brevet. General Wood Is by seniority the ranking general officer of the United State* irtny. If chosen to lead the American force he might, aa a matter of courtesy, given supreme command of the expedition.

One Man Who Might Have F.vaded His Military Duty L OST chords a-plenty, hut how about lost questionnaires? Frcr alnc- the war department nude ‘lie questionnaire well known to 10.U0U.0UU young uen and all their parents and friends there has been wonder on the part of

Each of the approximately 5.000 local boards of the nation guards Its questionnaires with Its life, of course, but since local boards are composed of human beings, and since even tb» greatest of human beings la not perfect. well—why say more? I have at last beard of a lost ques-

tionnaire.

Right here In Washington, too. It seems that a certain reglrtrant left the city and wna working on necessary government v.ork In a nearby community. The work he was engaged in him good ground for deferred classification. But be got tired of the work and came back to the national capital. Hr • ■•ured himself a portflun In the fire deportment. I am told, and the very f:r»t day meandered down to his local board to ask about hla standing In the

draft.

It may as well be stated right here that this man was willing to go to camp any time called upon. Hi* local board member* and the clerical force began to hunt up his questioaaalra. But they couldn't find It high or low. The questionnaire was lost, that was alL “We wouldn't have known we had you on the rclls." said a member. "But, now that you're here, we'll aend you to camp tomorrow."

Ever Hear of a Sparrow That Had Sense of Gratitude? T HE sparrow that adopted n man also may be added to your list of worthies. Tbl* natural biplane, being but a few weeks old. had his motor go back " n him one day In a downtown street and fell Into the gutter. A kind man ►«W ihe fsll and hurried to tbo scene " r ti*«- disaster. The little sparrow '•‘inked his bright eyes, and growled in I ftln. Didn't you ever hear a »i•arrow growl? No? Well, what lia* that got to do with the story, anyway? While .’■•u ar.- thinking up the answer* to three questions let na follow the '..iin and the sparrow. The man picked up the half-starved 1 trie fellow and carried him to his home- He took him to hi* room and fed him bread crumbs soaked In milk. •Soon the sparrow revived. He grew fat. In four days he could fly •-■■und the room at a lively' **te. “Ton are old enough now to take to your elemental heath." said the man But the sparrow would not leave him. The bird Insisted on perching on hi* shoulder and even wanted to trov, j down to the office that way. In order to escape from him the man had to suddenly dart from the room and dose tii« door with speed. The last I beard of the sparrow be was sitting out In a tree watting for U» master to cyme home.

Jersey doth has It* adherents all the year round for suits and for frock«. but It seem* somehow to belong to summer time—perhaps because It 1* made up without lining. It has the most dinging quality In the world, which accounts for It* making the moat graceful suits and dresses. It I* a fabric with peculiarities of It* own that Inspire to new effort the radleta Ingenuity of designers, who recognize Its possibilities for softening angulsr figure* and for helping out those that are *oo round. Everything depend* upon th? designer In jersey hulls. Usually the jersey suit I* a smart hut Informal affair with n flavor of sport styles, hut occasionally It Is finished up with collar and cuff* in a rich, dignified fabric that rob* It of It* casual air and plbce* It In the das* of dreasy suit*. An example of this kind appears In the picture where a suit of plain wool jersey In bright color I* elaborated with a wide tiand of oro**rtltrb embroidery In brown and turnedback collar and cuff* revealing n brown satin facing. It Is embellished

with a girdle of heavy silk cord finished with tassels. A suit of tills kind Is useful for present wear. In the sen son between summer and winter, and for tourists who plan to sojourn la the South when the coldest weather arrives In northern latitudes. The dunces are that jersey doth in silk and In wool has come t stay. Weaves haring the same charnet eristics are style points Hut cannot t>e overlooked In the displays of frocks sad suits for fall.

Beaded Bags. Bended hags are having, perhaps, n longer life of popularity than would have been the case If bead* had t advanced so greatly In price as to nuke beaded bags n real luxury, all events, they have never become commonplace enough to make them unpopular with women who wish the unusual. So they are silll shown in the shop*. In new designs and of new workmanship. Oval bags a ly good Just now.
