he was gay interested and interest

age ho was 81 la- September the
eagerness, with which The Tiger of
Franco anticipates the experiences that
are soon to eoine to him in. the United
States is quite touching to those who
see him and talk with him.
Wlmt iimirrsscN hix American cullers
the most is his youthfulnc of outlook.
(IIe talks of the prcscut and .the future
in the manner of u man of middle life;
he refuses to be reminiscent.
"I never was much of a chap for
the past," Clemenceau remarked to the
correspondent, who inquired about the
former Premier 's earlier visits to the'
United States. This is not his second
trip to America, as is commonly sup
posed, but his third.
"My father, who was exiled by
Xapoleon HI, thought it would be a
good thing fur mo to go to America
and I wont,'' Clemenceau .said. I had

In' conversation Clemenceau seldom
alludes to his experiences iu America,
first as a young gentleman of leisure j
reading extensively for two years iu the j
libraries of New York, and then a:" a j

Content With Les
And Nothing More
CHICAGO, Nov. 10. A simple
wedding and a domestic life like
other "plain folks" is the plan
of Miss Uellora Angell, $40,000,000
heiress, who refused titled Europeans
for her childhood sweetheart, Les
ter Norris, 21, artist, and son of
Cal- Norris, the village undertaker
at St Charles, Ills.
Miss Angella, who is 19, and
heiress to the estate of her uncle,
the late John W. Gates, announced
her engagement to young Norris last
night. Their romance began when
they attended the village school
together.
"I always liked Les, even when
he beat me in a swimming con
test," she said.
"I don't want a fancy wedding,"
Miss Angell said. "Its going to
be a quiet family affair the first
part of next May."
The young heiress said she wants
no retinue of servants in her home.
"I don't want a chauffeur," said
Miss Angell. "I want to drive my
own car. I guess we'll have a man
for the yard and garden. Les isn't
very handy at those things. Be
sides, he will be busy drawing pic
tures." SENATE AND HOUSE LINE-UP
