A BACHELOR'S LOT
Associate Justice M'Reynolds. of the United States Supreme Court, formerly Attorney-General, is not happy in his new position. "He is realising (says an American paper, in the familiar personal tone which American papers use) that Philander C. Knox knew what he was about when he refused to accept an appointment to the Supreme Bench, remarking in explanation, ' I am not yet ready to be a dead one.' M'Reynolds is a bachelor. Society has been engaging him with the little Burleson girl for a long time, but has not been able to make good on the prediction. M'Reynolds is fond of the society of. men and of club life. He has lived in clubs for years. His taste is for serious conversation, particularly on legal tonics. Since going on the Bench he has had to flock all by himself. If he gets into conversation with any of his old associates, immediately it drifts to subjects connected with the law. As the talk proceeds something develops that ties it to a concrete case. And then the Associate Justice has to pull himself up short, remembering that these are matters before tho Supreme Court, or likely to be there. Sorrowfully he has to make excuses and get away." So "the little Burleson girl" would appear to have some chance yet.
