Sir Thomas Lipton, Bomb-Proof Bachelor,
Proves “Safety in Numbers '* Rule
Has Always Escaped the “One’' by Dodging Among the “Many” and Accompanying
Pictures Show Him, at 68, Still Following His Chosen Tactics.
Si'-.'m jrC- : : SIR. TMoi. AKIJAHOSTON GlJk'L.. '
~ V : ■jT't ■' —*r— '■ ■— I
(By Marouerite Mooers Marshall.)
Why is Sir Thomas Lipton a bomb
proof bachelor, although he is rich, pop
ular and a world-famous gou- sports
man?
Because Sir Thomas Lipton, for all of
his sixty-eight years, has lived up to the
admirable axiom that in numbers there
Is safety—except, of course, in Moham
media countries. Outside Haremland,
the man who. like the sun, shines on the
fair and the un-fair, who never dodges a
woman but always asks another woman
to come along, who all his life is the life
of the tea party—that man is the bomb
proof bachelor, is not a proposal before
an audience? utterly unthinkable? Then
if there always is an audience —why,
there never is a proposal. W- E. D.
Not that Sir Thomas thus gavj away
to me the true secret of his success in
eluding the nets of the matrimonial
fowler. His admitted excuses, apologies,
alibis and explanations shall repeat to
you in due course —they belong to the
choicest brand of red herrings. But I
submit that you have only to study the
pictures of Sir Thomas, which he did not
give to me. but which are lirst published
by The Evening World today, to gn •
the true solution of his celebrated celi
bacy.
There is a photograph of Sir Thomas
completely surrounded by charming Bri
tish nurses on his hospital yacht, Erin.
All are'beaming on Sir Thomas--and Sir
Thomas beams impartially on all. There
is another picture of Sir Thomas in a
mefry group of Chicago nurses whom he
entertained at his charming home just
outside I -ondon on their way to the front,
but again we have a ehorus and not a
duet. And even in the third snapshot,
which depicts Sir Thomas in the act of
feeding ice cream to a Boston young
lady—not lighting her cigarette as I
thought at first—another Boston young
lady stands on the other side as a chap
erone. Probably she was. the one who
nut the daisy chain about his neck, while
her friend chaperoned her. Oh, it’s a
great life if you don’t weaken!
However. Sir Thomas -nd Foeh and
Pershing and other great generals can
not be expected to unveil their most pre
cious strategies for a curious world. For
what does camouflage exist? Instead of
pleading guilty to my charge, based on
Pictorial Exhibits A. B. and t\ that for
sixty-eight years he has gotten away
with bachelorhood by being nice to girls
In the plural instead of girl in the singu
lar—well, this is what happened when I
naked Sir Thomas why he has never
married.
“Ye know that I would have done so."
Geneva, World Capital, Birthplace of Red Cross

Geneva. Switzerland. Geneva, picked

CHICAGO LEADS CITIES

EMMET O'NEILL TO BE
ANTI-LYNCHING SPEAKER
New Vork.—The South will be repre
sented at the firat uatiouai wnfcrcncu on
ing about the streets and advertising the
things 1 soli. This old mother was up
from the country with her husband and
she saw one of me sandwich rr.cn a per
fect old wreck with his clothes all in
rags and no shoes to spe a k of. She look
a quick look at him and his board was so
twisted that all she could see was I ip
ton’.
"'So that's Sir Thomas Lipton!' she
sniffed. ‘Well, all I can say is £ don't
wonder he never got married!* “
“If you should change your mind, if
you did decide to take a wife," 1 inquir
ed, “do you think you might find her in
America 7“
Thrifty .Sir Thomas shook his head,
albeit a trifle sadly.
“Think of the freight rates aero. l s the
water now,” he reminded me. "They
are so high J am sure I never could get
an American wife across."
Do you suppose he knows so little
about'wives that he thinks one pucks
them in straw and sends them over in
tile hold?
“Anyway, you ought to give homo tal
ent a chance," 1 conceded. “A cabled
dispatch the other day said there are
now a million and a half women in En
gland who will have no op(>ortiinity to
marry. And they say they're going to
put a tax on bachelors."
That didn’t seem to alarm Sir Thomas
despite his apprehensions over the high
cost of marrying, “it’s a good thing,” he
commented sagely. "The young men will
all be marrying off, now, and old fellows
like myself will have a chance. Some
body will nay some attention to us."
One gathers from the above photo
graphs that. In his native wilds. Sir
Thomas Is simply pining away for wo
men who will pay some attention to him.
“Really,’’ I argued, “what are those
poor million am a half women going to
do, if other Britishers follow your de
plorable example? Most the worn<*n emi
grate? How can they find husbands?"
“How can they?" blandly agreed Sir
Thomas Lipton. B. ,1. (Bachelor Incorrig
ible;. Then a twinkle shone in a very
blue eye. "Unless, of course," he ven
tured hopefully, “the government should
permit each man to l ike three or four
Wives. Even two apiece might help to
spread them around."
But if England expects every man to
,lo his matrimonial duty even ON«’K.
what is going to happen matrimonial
slackers like Sir Thomas? He will have
to be a perpetual yachtsman and sail the
seven seas-—-which ore never dry afid
never, never domestic.
