WOODRUFF GIVES WAY TO ROOT FOR SENATE President Elect latt Praises Him For His Hctlorr. Hot SrirtngH, Va„ Dec. 2—Timothy Woodruff, chairman of the New York KepuhUcan state committee, has ettmtnated himsetf from the senatoria) race in favor of Secretary of State Elihu Root. Mr. Wowiruff's action was taken aft er a protracted conference avith Prcgf <H' ii i«DW'Paft and was followed hy statements hy both Messrs. Taft and Woodruff. Each of these statements concedes the erection of Mr. Root to succeed Senator Piatt on Jan. l!t next. Mr. Taft said: Governor Woodruff has taken in this mat ter. He has been moved by earnest de sire to promote party harmony and has established his claim to the gratitude of the Republicans of New York and aiso of the country at large for making it as certain as possible that such a statesman as Mr. Root wiii be chosen to represent New York in the senate. I have had to give up my purpose to con tinue Mr. Root in the cabinet. $hat I shai! have the support and assistance which he wii! render to the administration with hts great ability and his knowledge of gov ernmental affairs. I am sure from what have made no statement as to what my course concerning it would be both be cause of the views 1 hold, as frequently expressed at the time of the last national and state conventions, that the power of AB soon aa this work was cieared up 1 came to Upt Springs at the request of the president eiecl Here.

In addition to these considerations, it is of the greatest importance thatpin the greater city of New York perfect har mony shouid prevail in the ranks of the Republican party, especially among the Republican county organizations of ,the city which are now arrayed against one another on the senatorship. in order to in sure the defeat of Tammany Hal! in the municipal election of next fall, thereby securing an administration that wiil put ipiency in the government of the city which is now a reproach to ever;' person living in the Hrst municipality of the land.

Ota as it cornea in the orderly process of Nature is a beautiful and majestic thing. The very shadow of eeiipse which threatens it makes it the more prized. It stands for ez perience.knowiedge.wisdom andcoun sei. That is old age as it should be. But old age as it so often is means nothing but second childhood of mind and body. What makes the difference? Very largely the care of the stomach. In youth and the full strength of manhood it doesn't seem to matt*r how we treat the stomach. We abuse it, overwork it, injure it. We don't suffer from it much. But when age comes the stomach is worn out. It can't prepare and distribute the needed nourishment to the body, and the body unnourished, falls into seniie decay. Dr. Pierce's Qolden Medical Discovery is a wonderful medicine for old people whose stomachs are "weak" and whose digestions are "poor." Its invigor ating effects are felt by mind as well as body. It takes the sting from old age, and make old people strong. CASTOR) A For Infants and Children.

The outer gate of the imperiai Hof burg, the residence of the Austrian princes, bore a huge iiiuminated de vice of the imperiai crown, fronted by coiumns seventy feet high, which were covered with thousands of eiectrie buibs. The pressure of the enormous crowds in the streets caused severs! serious accidents. Four persons were kiiied and 100 injured, forty Bve of then/ seriousiy. A panic ensued directiy in front of the Hofburg, where the crowds con verged from three directions.

TELEPHONE ALL 30 PUBUC RtDiCULE. The Time When it Served as Punish ment For Lawbreakers. It is the problem of aii ages to make the punishment at the crime, but they seem to have come nearer its soiution in Ptantagenet times than they ever were after the introduction of Bogging. When burgiary meant the totat ruin of the man who kept his whoie for tune in his house the burgiar was hanged. But in the same period pub lic ridicuie served as a punishment for most crimes, and the man who soid bad meat was piaced itf the piiiory and his bad meat horned to windward of him; the vintner who soid bad wine was forced to drink some of it and the rest was poured over his head; for more serious offenses the criminai had to walk along Cheapside bareheaded, dressed oniy in a shirt and carrying a wax taper, escorted by the mayor's sergeants. The result was that law and order were maintained far better than when men became brutaiized by the horrible Coggings of Georgian times. Punishments became worse with re ligious persecutions, and after the ref ormation the piiiory, with its terribie accompaniment of siit ears, whippings, etc., became popular, to say nothing of torturing, burning at the stake, and so on. At 8L Thomas' hospitai one of the sisters, "for a grave offense, con trarie to ye iawe of God and according to the proffe of three wytnesses," was ordered to "be punished and have xii strypes wei! laid on." nut an tms, baa as tt was, was tess demoralizing than the terribie crjmi nai code of George II.'s reign, when there were forty-eight crimes punish able by death and forty punishabie by whipping, transportation or pil lory. Flogging for mere vagrancy be gan with Henry VIII., and as iate as 1804 six women were publicly whip ped at Gloucester for this unavoidable offense. And never did public morali ty sink so iow. lit those good old days we Hogget^ _ our saiiormeh* enCMrage the otfo ers," and there were many trussed at the triangles who would now be sim piy admonished. A pieasant form of punishment was "dogging through the deet." It was given to the ignorant sailorman who struck a superior odi cer. And when he had been carried from one ship to another and dogged in each he survived—if he was unfor tunate—for six months. The iucky man died accidentally.—London Chron^ Icie. CONFEDERATE FLAGS. The Stars and Bars and Then the Red Battledag. The drst Confederate dag was the stars and bars, a blue held and three stripes, one white and two red, and on the blue deld seven white stars in a circle, a star for each state that up to that time had seceded. In battle, however, it was seen that this banner bore aitogether too ciose a resemblance to the stars and stripes, and thus there came into use the Confederate battledag, the origin of which seems to have been as foiiows: This is the statement of General William L. Cabei): "When the Con federate army commanded by Genera] Beauregard and the Federai army con fronted each other at Manassas, it was seen that the Confederate dag and the stars and stripes looked at a distance so much aitke that it was .hard to dis tinguish one from the other. Generai Beauregard, thinking that serious mis takes might be made in recognizing our troops, after the battie of Juiy 18, at Blackburn Ford, ordened that a emaii badge shouid be worn on the left shoulder by our troops and. as i was chief quartermaster, ordered me to purchase a iarge amount of red dan nei and to distribute it to each regi ment" This Confederate battiedag was adopted in September, 18G1. and was designed by Generais Johnston and Beauregard. Red was its eoior, with a biue St. Andrew's cross reaching from corner to comer and white stars on the cross representing the different southern states. The women of the south made these dags by hundreds out of their red and biue stik dresses. Miss Constance Cary, who afterward became Mrs. Burton Harrison, the weii known novelist. was one of the three southern girls who made the drst three battiedags. Magazine of American History. The Man In the Moon. The dark markings so conspicuous on the moon and known as the "mac in the moon" are great plains, lying at a much tower ieve) than the brighter parts. In ail probability they are old sea bottoms, some of them haring un dergone upheavals and other changes since the water retreated from them, others presenting the appearance of being unchanged since the time when the waters dried up or were in some other way removed from them. What Being Burned Out May Mean to a Business. DAMAGE ONE CANNOT COVER. Enormous Losses Caused by the Sus pension of Operations and the Drift ing Away of Trade That Are Not Appreciated by the Genera) Pubiie. "I suppose you heard that thank Co. were burned out from the roof to the basement iast night?" remarks the man tn the car. "No!" exciaims the friend who hasn't seen the morning paper. "1 suppo^ they carried insurance?" "Oh, yes—a hundred thousand of it!" returns the Brst speaker, at which his friend setties back with the comment that everything is ali right then. This is the iayman's conciusion ai most invariabiy. Some big concern burns out, but with insurance to an amount seeming to cover the ioss the average man is disposed to fee! that it is aii right. He doesn't stop to think of the enormous risks of a business which cannot be covered by insurance and which for weeks, months or years after a tire are crippiing and perhaps ruinous to the tire victim. Take, for exampie. a highiy organ ized factory piant in prosperous times which has been turning out a vast speciaiized product from the hands of thousands of expert workmen. This piant. fitted with costiy machinery, is covered by insurance upon its visibie, materia! assets, fire sweeps it and iays everything in hopeiess ruin. If every piece of machinery, every budd ing and aii materiai adjuncts of the piant have been covered to fuii vaiue in such a piant, wii) the reader dare make a rough guess as to what the {imitations of loss may be? a bookbindery, unostentatious in its street signs and occupying a fifth door in an obscure street. In the eie vator shaft was that pecuiiar odor which marks the track of tire and Bre men days and weeks after such an accident. "Most of the tire was next door." ex plained the proprietor, "but I guess the smoke and the water were about as bad for us. Sometimes it is utmost better to have the Bre yourseif than be next door to it." Which seemed to be especially true of book materiai. Where smoke and soot had faded to biot and ruin the stock, water from the engines in the street had Boodcd it untii ruin aione was descriptive. Everything had been closed down, ,syork.ei's-.lB—-piaw? were* l3ie, and the proprietor was awaiting the adjustment of the insur ance which he had been carrying. But in the extent of this insurance itseif was a knotty situation. Ordinariiy the house had carried poi icics which wouid have ieft it the minimum of risk on its machinery, stock and materials. Ordinariiy a stiii further bianket poiiey was carried for the purpose of covering the norma) amount of book materiai on hand owned by others and contracted for rebinding. But only a few days be fore the Bre the house had received a consignment of $5,000 worth of iaw books to be bound. These volumes, aside-from'intrinsic vaiue, represented so much of other vaiue as to make tiie risk abnormal for aimost any sea son. And these books were ruined. Before receiving them the binder had asked the owners to take out a poiiey for themseives protecting them against such Bre toss. The Brm had not done so. and when the Bre dam age came the disposition of the owners was to hoid the binder for them under one of the binder's bianket poiicies. un tnts one otsputea point, taxing tt into court, wii] some one make a guess as to what this one feature of the Sre may cost the binder, who to ati purposes was "insured," if it shouid be settied in the supreme court after five or seven years, for example? But in the case of the big manufac tory, with its imported speciai machin ery, its season of rush work and its enormous and fiuctuating stock of nta teriai—if on the morning after the fire the assuring companies settie in fuii for the Visibie tosses, how much has the company been damaged? Of first consideration, perhaps, is the enormous payroii of the concern. If most of the mechanicai work of the piant has been done by pieceworkers, stiii the necessary force of directing emptoyees on saiary is a probiem. The determination of the owners is to start up anew. Tried and proved employees must be retained white the work of rehabilitation goes on. They must be paid even if they are to do no more than wait. Settlement of some kind must be made with contractors who have been suppiying raw materiais from the hands of other thousands of workers. No matter what the clauses in contracts providing immunity in case of Bros, strikes and acts of Provi dence, every tine of business affecting the weifare of the manufactory has been affected. The piant is a total loss. Before it can be rebuiit the ruins of the oid fac tory must be cieared away. In the meantime aii those customers of the manufactory who have been pressing for the fitting of contract or ders Bnd themsetves shut out of any chance for receiving them. They turn at once to other competing establish ments for the work. Not oniy does the burned out erm iose all chance of prodts from this work, but it is run ning a iong chance of losing some of its oldest and best customers of years' standing.—Chicago Tribune,_ MMCIMMMS They Were Exempt From Jury Duty !n Capita) Cases. tN A CLASS WiTH BUTCHERS Thought to Be Too Btoodthirsty to Catmty Pass on the Taking of Hu man Life— Executioners Performed Operations and Acted as Doctors. i When Great Britain's statute book was stiii in the Draconian state from which it was redeemed by Sir Samuei I Romiiiy and the penaity of death was i indicted for the most triviai offenses. surgeons were exempted from serving on juries in capita) cases. It must not be supposed, however, that this was because their professioE was beiieved to make them too humane for such work as was then imposed on jurymen. We are sorry to say it was for the opposite reason. They were ex empted on the same ground as butch crs, w hose occupation, it was thought, tended to make them too btoodthirsty. This ought not perhaps surprise us, since two or three centuries ago ex ecutioners not infrequentiy performed surgicai operations. This seems to have been particuiariy the case in Den mark. At any rate, we have more knowledge on this point in regard to that country than any other, j In Janus some time ago Dr. K. Caroe of Copenhagen pubtished a number of documents bearing on the subject. The most ancient of these bears date Juiy 24, 15T9. and is a iicense issued by Frederick II. to Anders Freimut, ex ecutioner of Copenhagen, granting him the right to set bones and treat oid wounds. He was expressiy forbidden to meddie with recent wounds. In 1009 it is recorded in the municipai archives of Copenhagen that Caspar, the hangman, bad received four rigs daters for the cure of two sick ehii dren in the infirmary.

In a tetter addressed to Oie Worm, a leading Danish physi cian of the day. Henry Koster. physi cian in ordinary to the king, compiains bitterly of the siight thus put upon him. He says that for two whoie months the hangman, "who is as fit to treat the cnse as an ass is to piay the iyre." had the cnse in hand, and the doctor was not asked for advice, and, aithough tile case went steadily from bad to worse, the executioner received a fee' of 200 rigsdaiers and a large siiver gobict—"rewards," says the doc tor piaintiveiy. "which the greatest among us wouid not have receive^, had he succeeded in curing the peine. ^coordittg*dxrtti^ruIeS^of art.'* Again, in 1681, Christian V. gave a fee of 200 rigsdaiers to the Copen hagen hangman for curing the ieg of a page. In 1695 Andreas Liebknecht, the Copen tiagcn executioner, was in such repute or his treatment of dis ease that he wrote a book on the subject "in the name of the hoiy and ever biessed Trinity." In 1732 Bergen, an executioner in Norway, was au thorized by royai decree to practice surgery. Even up to the eariy years of the nineteenth century this extraordinary association of surgery with fhe iast penaity of the iaw continued. Erik Peterson, who was appointed pubiic executioner at Trondhjem in 1796. served as surgeon to an infantry regi ment in the war with Sweden and re tired in 1814 with the rank of surgeon major. Frederick 1. of Prussia chose his favorite hangman. Cobienz, to be his physician in ordinary. It might be suspected that this pe cuiiar combination of functions had its origin in a satirical view of the art of heating, but in the records we have quoted we can trace nothing of the kind. Perhaps the executioner drove a trade in human fat and other things supposed to possess marvelous heal ing properties. He may thus have come to be credited with skiii in heal ing, though the association surety rep resents the lowest degree to which the surgeon has ever fallen in pubiic es teem and sociai position. Compared with the hangman, a gladiator and even an undertaker may be considered respectabie.—British Medical Journal. "Painting the Town Red."

A DREADFUL WEAPON, The Slashing Sharks' Teeth Club of thePotynesians. Clubs were the weapons of primitive and savage man. Ancient specimens from Mexico are heavy sticks grooved along the side for the insertion of blades of bosldlan—that Is, volcanic glass. The Sioux club is a Bat piece of wood, curving and widening away from the grip and terminating in a spherical head, which in modern times carries a long spike, while the blades of several butcher knives are common ly inserted along the margin. The na tional museum of the United States possesses a great variety of these shocking weapons, designed, as the frontiersmen say, to "knock down the white man and then to brain him and cnt him into mince meat" The Kings milt Islanders and other Polynesians make dceadM slashing w^hpon? by se curing rows of sharks' teeth along a haft of wood. These weapons vary from a few inches to sixteen feet in length, and it has been said that in all the range of weapons devised by mankind there is nothing more blood cuddling to behold. They show how the sword may have been evolved from the club even by tribes unacquainted with the use of metals. African weapons, again, are exceedingly complicated owing to the acquaintance of the natives with iron. The standard ciub is converted into a sort of tomahawk by the addition of blades or into a primitive spear by the addition of a sharp spud- The plain ciubs in the African area are used chieHy for throwing. The small knobbed ciubs, or "ker ries," such as are found among the KafBrs and other African tribes, are generally used as missiles. Whereas the ciub proper was soon brought to perfection among savage tribes and was iong ago abandoned as a weapon of civilized warfare, the missile—typi Bed by the thrown clubs or "kerries is still being improved upon in boom erangs, bows and arrows, crossbows and B rearms.

JYHee Kitroy Invcetigatce By TROY ALLISON. Copyrighted. 1908. by Associated Literary Press. To the casuai observer Miss Kiiroy did not seem exactly fitted for an in vestigator of socioiogicai probiems. The government had probabiy been prompt* ed by some wise head when it appoint ed women to that branch of work. Formeriy when men, important in I uniforms and brass buttons, or men in piain ciothes, augmented by much pom posity, had made the rounds of the for eign settiements such dignity had frightened or embarrassed the women and chiidren to such an extent that it was an impossibility to obtain freely spoken opinions as to what they iiked in America, what they did not iike, what they expected Uncie Sam to do for them or what they themselves couid offer as a just reason for Uncie SaA doing anything at aii for them. Nobody, however, could possibly take fright at pretty Miss Kiiroy, who, dressed in the nobbiest white shirt waist suit, a rather gay ribbon on her hat, knocked at the humbiest door of I the humbiest tenements and generaiiy found a weicome. Grantiey, in charge of the temporary quarters provided while the investiga tion was being carried on in this city, iooked up as she entered the oiHce in the afternoon, tired, but jubilant "Seems to me I have secured enough information today to make a compiete report upon the socioiogicai, probiem in America," she said, throwing her notes upon her desk. "Good work," he answered, wonder ing why she ever undertook such a job. "It's strange that the youngest, most— er"— "Oh. don't mind me!

Wouid you mind teiiing me about your methods of procedure, Miss Kiiroy?" Grantiey was cieariy interested in knowing how she lid it. V Miss Kilyoy laughed somewhat ^tannefsf-ediZ- Vi'm -afTBlfT 1'w. AMt I realiy businessiike." she admitted, "but t proceed upon an instinctive knowi edge of human nature. Today 1 went I to interview a great big irishwoman. When she came to the door and saw me, notebook in hand, she positiveiy giared. There certainty wasn't a giim tner of hospitaiity in her face. 'What wouid the tikes av ye be afther want in?' she demanded. "When i reeicd off my set of ques tions her indignation increased. 'How long have I bln in America an' what av the wurrik i have done? Faith, an' i think it impudence for a yeliow hair ed chit of a gurrei who ividentty spends her time dressing up an' wearing biue ribbons on her hat to come an' caii an honest woman from her wurrik to ask questions about her private family. Ye might as weil be afther taking ye 3iif off. Bridget Maguire don't answer ao foo] questions.' "i believe, Mr. Grantiey, that if she hadn't been so scathing about my biue hatband i would have waiked off and abandoned the interview, but that hat hand and the 'yeiiow haired chit of a gurrei' had to be avenged. "I ieaned against her door dejected iy, tried to turn pate and said: 'You mustn't think I want to do it, for I so hate to be rude, but I have to do it for my fiving. I'm so tired and so warm'— teaning against the door with an atti tude indicating an eariy approach of tears—'and if I don't and out things for them they wiii dismiss me and I'i! have nothing to iive on.' "Mrs. Maguire's bark was aercer than her bite. Her face changed* she took hotd of my arm gentiy and ted me into her one room. 'Ye poor iittie cray thure,' she said, Til make ye a cup of tay right off. an' you'd soon be bet ther.' Miss Kiiroy waved her notes gayiy. "I feit somewhat hypocritical, but I have Btted her into the proper place in the socioiogicai report." Her chief smiied approval. "It takes a woman to beat aii," he said. "Don't you ever meet with more serious an noyances?" The giri biushed. "Sometimes the men stare at me a iittie more than I tike. There is a party of Syrians in Jing's court. One of them is a Bne specimen. He was dressed in beaded (ackets and—er—things and had a red sash and a red fez or something fan tastic on his raven iocks. He wouid in tpire an artist to paint a 'Son of the desert' or a 'Type From the Orient.' I have had severai interviews with him, because he speaks iess fractured Eng iish than the others, and yesterday he insisted upon presenting me with a string of red giass beads. He—weii, be was siightiy effusive and caiied me a maid of the dawn whose hair was kissed by the rising sun. I decided that I wouidn't interview him any more. He seemed incitned to be im puisive."

"That" was a newiy engraved card on which appeared this announcement: MR. CECIL APPLEBY BOTSFORD HETHERiNGTON, Ecciesiasticai Editor. The Thunderer. "My word, oid chap, it's the most de iightfui news I've heard in an age!" cried his friend. "Let's have just one more. Here's to you! Success!" Before he reached Tempie Bar the ecciesiasticai editor had met 8ve other friends. To the 8ftb he observed: "D* ye know, Ned. with that card I couid caii on the ar-archbish'p 'f Can terbury. Yes.

ThrititngExperieneeofaCyciistona Swiss Mountain. A Dr. Bach was cycling down the pass near Goschenen, in Switzeriand, when his brake snapped and the mn chine darted forward at terrific speed. At the foot of the mountain is a bridge spanning a deep river gorge. The phy sician tried to guide his dying machine on the bridge, but the front wheei struck a side waii, and he was dung over the parapet. White fading through the air he caught a chain hanging from a girder. The momentum of his body, suddeniy arrested, neariy wrenched his grip loose, but he was a strong man and kept his hoid. While swinging in midair suspended over the raging river and unabie to improve his perdous position an automobde came chugging down the pass. The hapiess man shouted for heip, but he couid not be seen from the bridge, and his cries were drowned by the noise of the mo tor and the sound of the river. A few minutes after the automobiie had pass ed a carriage drove across the bridge. Again he cried out for heip. but in vain. The awfui strain on arms and Bngers was becoming intoierabie. and the doctor was about to drop into the torrent to an inevitabte death when two peasants came by and saw him.

Irving reminded him of the tour they had made together and mention ed his name. Diiion thought for awhiie, and. recognition appearing to dawn upon him, he extended his hand "Irving? Oh, yes.

Lyons, K Y., Dec. 2. —Handsome Mrs. Georgina Sampson, niece by marriage of the late Admiral Samp son of Santiago battle fame, was com mitted to jail here on a charge of hav ing murdered her husband. Harry Sampson. The admiral's nephew was found dying on the floor of their home at the AHyn farm. Palmyra. Wayne coun ty, on Nov. 1. He had a bullet wound from a 22 caliber rIHe in his heart. Mrs. Sampson said that her husband had taken his own life, but following his death stories were circulated which discredited that theory. There were reports of frequent quarrels between Sampson and his wife, and finally the coroner of Wayne couuty decided upon a rigid investigation. The first evidence that Sampson might have been the victim of foui piay was not forthcoming untii Dr. Aibert Hamilton, a gunshot expert, after examining the wound in Samp son's body, testified positively that the dead man could not have tired the shot which resulted In his death. It came out at the inquest that Sampson on the Saturday before his death had discovered a ietter written to his wife by a man outside of the famiiy which had been the cause of a bitter quarrei.

Mrs. Minnie Walter Myers, it) her "Romance and iieaiism of the South ern Guif Coast," gives an account of one of the last chaiienges to a due) which occurred in Louisiana. The af fair was between Si. Marigny, who be ionged to one of the oidest famtiies of Louisiana, and a Mr. Humbie, a sturdy ei-biacksmith of Georgia, who had be come a man of politicai consequence. Mr. Marigny took offense at some re marks of the Georgian and sent him a chaiienge. The big ex-biacksmith was nonpiused. "I know nothing about this dueitng business," he said. "I win not fight him." "You must." said his friend. "No gentieman can refuse." "I am not a gentieman," repiied the honest son of Georgia. "I am oniy a biacksmith." "But you wiii be ruined if you do not Bght," urged his friends. "You wiii have the choice of weapons, and you can choose so as to give yourseif an equai chance with your adversary." The giant asked time in which to consider the question and ended by ac cepting. He sent the foiiowing repiy to M. Marigny: "i accept, and in the exercise of my priviiege I stipuiate that the due] shaii take piace in Lake Pontchartrain. in six feet of water, siedge hammers to be used as weapons." M. Marigny was about Hve feet eight inches in height, and his adver sary was seven feet. The conceit of the Georgian so pieased M.

AVERTED A TRAGEDY. Nerve Displayed by Daniel O'Connell at a Critica) Moment. Daniel O'Connell, the famous Irish agitator, had a contempt for physical danger. On a certain occasion a meet ing had been convened, and a large crowd assembled In a room on the 8rst door of a building In a small city In Ireland. O'Connell was about to address the people when a gentleman, Pnht 4eat, made his way totheplatf^ hoarsely whispered: "Liberator, the floor Is giving way! The beams that shore It up are crack ing, and we shall fall through in a few minutes!" "Keep silent." said O'Connell. Then, raising his voice, he addressed the as sembly: "1 8nd that the room Is too small to contain the number who desire to come in, so we must leave It and hold the meeting outside the building." At this a few rose and u ent out, but the majority retained their seats. Then O'Connell said: "I will tell you the truth. You are Irishmen, therefore brave men. The Boor Is giving way, and we must leave this room at once. If there is a panic and a rush to the door we shall all be precipitated into the room below, but If you obey my orders we shall be saved. Let the twelve men nearest the i door go quietly out. then the next twelve, and so on till all have gone. I shall be the last to leave." His Instructions were obeyed to the letter, and he waited, patient and calm, till all had gone out in safety. Then he walked quietly across the sunder Ing, cracking Hoor, reaching the door just as the shattered beams gave way. i And thus, by the force of his strong will, a terrible accident was averted.

"i feet !ike a new woman," she aaid gratefuiiy. "The Lord forbid!" he cried, with ferrency. They iaughed in unison as they re sumed their journey. The way seemed shorter now as they chatted of imper sonai matters. Once the man referred to a certain scientific work. "I haven't read that; I did read Pro fessor Ray's book on the same sub ject." "Ah! You have read Ray's book?" he questioned. She nodded. "1 had to!" "Why under compulsion?" There was deep interest in his tone. "You see, Peter Ray is my brother in-taw's eider brother." "You know him?" he asked. "Not at aii. I have never seen him. but Bob says he is a joiiy grind, and my sister says he is charming." "See that squirrei," said the man. euddeniy changing the subject, "it is a dying squirrei. and his antics are worth watching. Squirreis are perfect acrobats."

A iong, white motor car crawied down the road to the raiiroad station. A man struggled ineffectuaiiy with the speed ievers. "Four hours from the Eyrlq, dar ting," murmured a white veiied vision from the tonneau. "i can't heip it, Lettie! I don't know what's got into the machine!

"Aye, Peter couid make the biamed thing go! By Jove, Lettie, iook there!" He pointed ahead, where a huge iog was roiied beside the path. On it sat a man and a giri deeply in terested in watching the antics of a squirrei in the pine tree overhead. "Eisie!" cried Mrs. Ray breathiessiy. "And Peter, as I'm a sinner!" added her husband, tooting his horn gayiy. The pair on the iog turned around and then arose. embarrassed at the situation.

"Why—yes—we—er—met"— faitered Eisie. with a pieading giance at the i nearsighted bine eyes that peered at her from the frout seat.

"I think that is sufBcient." she said, with a sage nod of her pretty head. Bread and Microbee. From experiments made by M. Rous sei in Paris it appears that oniy the ernst of bread is submitted to a suf Scientiy high temperature to kiii ait the bacteria which the ioaf may con tain. The inside of the ioaf may there fore be contaminated by the microbes from a consumptive baker or conveyed in the water, as is the case with ty phoid fever and choiera. Professor Metchnikotf was asked his opinion whether bread cotiid not be a source of danger, and his answer was as foi iows: "1 don't think so. The tempera ture to which the inside of a ioaf is submitted generaiiy exceeds 140 de grees F. At this temperature many microbes are kiiied—those of tubercu losis. for instance—but there are much hardier germs, such as those of anthrax, the germ^of which are oniy kiiied at over 224 degrees F. But anthrax is rare, and it is hardiy iikeiy that a bak er attacked by this terribie maiady wouid continue to work once the dis ease had declared itseif." Professor Metchnikotf advises, however, that oniy bread which is weii baked, and therefore not crumbiy, shouid be eaten. What She Was Thinking Of.

The whoie spirit of his beau tifui poem breathed forth as he thread ed his way form the beginning to the end of his theme, and when hie had Bn ished he looked at her, awaiting her verdict.

The eievator boy stuck his head through the doorway. "There are two queer iooking femaies, fixed up in some kind of foreign trappings, that want to see Miss Kiiroy," he announced. "Show them in, Tommy—that is. if you don't mind, Mr. Grantiey." She looked at him inquiringiy. "Not at aii. I wiii step into the ad joining room if they wiii be embar rassed, or I'ii iisten to your styie in in terviewing," he said teasingiy. Miss Kiiroy smiied when her visitors entered in the very evident throes of formaiity. "Oh, it's you, is it, Zuiieka, and your pretty daughter." The oid woman smiied and nodded untii her ear pendants jingied. "We come see maiden iike dawn," she an nounced geniaiiy. Miss Kiiroy remembered the origin of the compliment and had the grace to Mush. "Did you come to teii me some more abqpt your beauttfu! coun try?" she asked graciousiy. The woman shook her head. "Come to teii-a you of my son," she beamed. "Has he succeeded in getting a posi tion?" interestedly. "No, not on the work we come, is it. Hareede?" She appealed to her daugh ter deiightedly. The giri's biack eyes giowed with im portance. "We—we women—it is al ways so," she expiained ingratiatingiy, "it is for us to teii the fair one that she is beloved"— "An' you marry my son—yes?" broke in the mother eagerly. Miss Kiiroy sank Sack in her chair weakiy. "Of aii things"— she gasped. "You iike-a my son? urged Zuiieka. leaning over and patting caressingly the Limp hand of the object of her son's affection. Miss Kiitoy looked dazed. "1—1 can t i marry your son," she announced feebiy. "But my son—my,son! He Itke-a you, he marry you. The way you smtle make him happy. I ask you to marry my son!" her gestures expressing a fer vent solicitude that exceeded her vo cabuiary. "But I don't want to marry your son. I—hate your son!" declared Miss Kii roy desperately. The eyes of the two matrimonial agents Bashed and their voices rose an grily. Miss Kilroy put her blond head upon the desk and sobbed. Grantiey considered this an auspicious moment for interference. He rose and spoke blandiy to the mother, who stood pant ing with indignation at the stight to her offspring. "It is perhaps best for me to expiain the^situation, madam." and he howetTI low In a manner which he hoped would impress them with an idea that he had learned his manners in foreign court drcieS; "It is not that Miss Kitroy acorns your son; It is that"— He hedged for time to Invent something soothingiy piausibie. "It Is only that you have come too late. Miss Kitroy Is already betrothed." he added grave ly, "and therefore expresses regret that she cannot consider your son." The biond head of the sociological Investigator was raised abruptiy from the desk. Zuiieka, however, repeated uncomprehendingly "Betrothed?" Grantiy said siowiy, "Betrothed—af Banced—to be wed—espousa," he added desperateiy. A ne momer ami sisrer or me rejeci ed looked at each other with a Cash of understanding. "Ah-h!" they breathed. "To me—to me." Grantley tapped his breast convincingly. The woman's face was again wreath ed in smiies. "I teii-a my son. I teii-a him that the beautifui maid not strong to cook—to wash. He marry Syrian now. May the rising sun forever kiss your hair, mees. and may your chil dren be as many as the pomegranite seed," she said to Grantiey with grow ing cordiaiity. When the door ciosed behind them Grantiey stood with his feet apart and his hands in his pockets, according to the method of meditating man. "By Jove!" he said Cnaliy. A siight sniff was Miss Kiiroy's oniy contribution toward reiieving the awk wardness of the situation. "We're engaged," he announced cheerfuiiy. "You're a brute!" she answered chok ingiy. "I must say your interviews are con ducted upon rather original iines," he teased. Miss Kiiroy's shouiders were shrug ged resentfuiiy. "i ll never interview another foreigner so iong as I live," she declared. "Certainty you must give that up— when we are married," he suggested, a twinkie in his eye. She showed for an instant a pair of indignant, tearfui eyes. "We are not engaged." she deciared stormiiy, and iter head went back to cover of the desk. Grantiey ieaned over her gentiy. "I wish—we were." he suggested softiy. A sudden tense quietness settied on the bowed Cgure. "I have wished for a iong time—that we were," he repeated insistentiy.

Selling His Musio Was Distastsfui to the Great Composer. An extremely interesting article which has appeared in a German mu sical and theatrical paper under the above heading contains the following statement, says a London exchange: Beethoven never bargained in the or dinary way. His fees for a composi tion were demanded briedy and in a decided manner, and he aiways pointed out when mentioning a price that he meant guineas and not sovereigns, or, rather, their equivaient tn Austrian coin. In 1801 he wrote to a music firm at Leipzig: "Now the unpaiatabie busi ness part is done with. I wish things could be managed differently in this world. There shouid be oniy one mu sic publisher to whom the artist might take his work, knowing that be might ask a fee according to his require ments. As it is, he has to be partly a tradesman. Good heavens, how dif ferent and unpalatable this is!" But this pious wish was never fuiSIled, and Beethoven had to remain "half a tradesman" to the end. As a suggestion of how dedications are occasionally made, the following letter, which Beethoven wrote to the same publisher in 1802 from Vienna, is interesting: "The lady in question can have a sonata, and I will do my best to carry out her aesthetic ideas. The price is 5 guineas (ducaten), and for this she may retain the sonata for a year as her private property, but not for pub lication. At the end of the year the sonata becomes my property—that is to say, I have the right to publish it, and if she thinks it an honor she may ask to have the work dedicated to her" This, from the business point of view of the lady in question, is surely a tempting offer. At least, so the art patroness of today would think if she had a chance of suggesting to a Beethoven the "aesthetic idea" for a sonata, to retain such a treasure in her own hands for a twelvemonth and thereafter have it dedicated to her— and all for 5 guineas! The Proper Word. Reckoning from the standpoint of the lexicographer, Rnth, aged seven, committed an unpardonable assault on the king's English, but the seventy Bve other persons living in that apart ment house would swear that she chose the proper word. Ruth's com ment concerned the vocal gymnastics of a lady who was learning to sing.

F)ora McRimsey Up-to-Datc OLLY is going to a dance to T H night and her gloves have not I must hurry down-town for a new pair because the shops are all closed when she gets away from the ofhee." This was Mrr. Blank's excuse when, coated am hatted, she met a caller at her front door. Away she rushed to the Elevated Railway station, and the caller glanced after her pityingly. "I never knew the time thatPolly did have anything to wear—and yet she draws a good salary. I wonder what's the matter?" "The matter" is Polly's mother, who has not taught Polly how to take care of her clothes. Polly has a lovely evening frock which demands twenty-button white gloves. She bought a pair of gloves especially to wear with that frock, but one Sunday afternoon when she want ed to pay some calls she found that her twelve-button white gloves were soiled, also her tan colored gloves, also her chamois gloves—so she rumpled up her party gloves and forgot to send them to the cleaner. Her mother paid four dollars for another pair of shoul der gloves—all because Polly forgot to send them to the cleaner in time. Then Polly had a lovely old-rose house frock of softest cashmere. Around the bottom it became discol ored. Polly said. "Oh. let it go. When it gets real dirty. I'll send it to the cleaner." This she did—and the cleaner made a mistake, used the wrong cleansing fluid, rotted the pretty cash mere. and closed th" incident by pay ing Polly just about one-third of what the gown was worth. Now do you understand why Polly never has anything to wear? Perhaps you think that taking? great care of her gowns makes a girl fussy and old maidish. but she can do this without being objectionable or prig gish. wnen sne comes nome rrom tne party at midnight or later, she need not^Hn^gher^dress^acrosa^^chair^In stead she should put it in place upon the padded coat-hanger and leave it out where she will see it first thing in the morning. If she is not too tired she will look it over before retiring, and if there are any bad spots show rub a little magnesia, which costs five cents a cake, on the spot. In the morning, if the spot does not come off with brushing, she should place the fabric over some folds of old cloth or blotting paper and with an inflam mable cleansing fiuid rub out the stain. The longer she leaves a stain in fab ric. the less liable it is to come out. If her gloves are not badly soiled, lay them away In blue tissue paper. Slight soil will come off twenty-four hours later with brushing. If they are very much soiled the very next morning, she will stretch them on a cloth-covered board outdoors and rub them with gasoline, then leave them to dry in sun and air, and finally lay them away in blue tissue paper with sachet bags. She never puts away a hat without brushing it thoroughly. A hat well cared for will last an entire season. Any reputable milliner will refurbish the hat purchased from her for a song. A good felt or beaver can be re blocked. broken wings can be mended or renewed, ribbon can be sponged and made into fresh knots. But if you toss your hat all covered with dust into the box. the dust will become ground into fabric and shape, and neither can be renovated. Girls are more apt to abuse their shoes than any article of clothing. Never put shoes away wet or muddy. vaseline to remove the mud or pre vent hardening and have them pol ished the first thing next day. Some Practica! Fashion Dont's wear bright coiored gloves. H Every year dealers import a great many pink. blue, green and other gayly coiored gloves as novelties for exhibition purposes, but the well-dressed woman never wears them. Don't buy any cretonne trimmings. They were a fad that came in with the warm weather and went out before the summer was half over. The fashion is absolutely dead. Brocade has replaced cretonne for vestings. Don't cut handsome material up into a 23-gored shirt If your cloth is hand some and of fine texture select a four or seven-gored pattern. Don't buy brilliant colored fabrics for winter clothes. Everything that is new has a faded hue. Don't wear iong gloves over the iong sleeves now so fashionable. With such sleeves should te worn a two button glove. Don't pull your belt line down to a point in the front Everything that is worn with a belt must be round and rather short-waisted. Don't wear pale pink and blue tulle and chiffon ruches with heavy tailored suits. Don't have more than one sash on a dress. Many women have ruined the effect of good dress by having a sash about the waist one draped across the bust and perhaps an end or two at the back 1 Don't wear your veils hanging loose at the back of the head. Veils are pinned tightly over the hat and ends are tucked out of sight. Don't wear artificial flowers pinned on your furs. Don't wear tan shoes with a trained dress. They are for walking and in formal occasions only. Don't wear a mushroom hat if you .re a stout woman. It will take several inches from your height. Don't wear distinct stripes if you are a thin woman. And don't apply the trimming on your dresses going up and down. Don't wear dainty white lingerie petticoats with dark tailored suits. If you cannot afford a matching silk skirt, then invest in some of the mercerized fabrics, such as sateen, brllliantine, moreen, etc., all of which come in many shades. Don't wear false hair unless it matches your own exactly. White Wine Punch.—Peel the rind from half an orange and half a lemon, add to this a cup of sugar and work it together.

COMMON-SENSE VERSUS BEAUTY M!RACLES HIS department does not offer a. short cut to physical beauty nor ta, urn Nf aclea. In fact, the days of physical perfection and miracles alike are past. The present generation is trying to undo the evils of modern living con tracted by many preceding generations. We have passed through an age of dosing and false living which has re duced sadly the standard of physical being. We are just getting back to the realization that plenty of fresh air. not steam heat.—plenty of outdoor life, not hothouse existence.—plenty of simple food not 1 rench catering, are needed to develop physical beauty. Twenty years of right living will re sult in n new and fine race of children, but until that time comes, most of us will be seeking means of softening physical defects which cannot be en tirely eradicated. Hence some of the requests which reach me by mail would be farcical if they were not so pathetic. Women who have defied nature now want remedies with which to outwit her. Women with physical defects which would defy the surgeon's knife want to know how to dose themselves and outdo doctors and surgeons In twenty-four hours. Please bear in mind that this depart ment. as I said before, does not preach the working of beauty miracles. It simply tries to show you that by means of common-sense, a healthful life and persistent use of sane, simple remedies, you can improve your appearance, mini mize your physical defects and be as attractive as Dame Nature intended you to be. But if you are not willing to live a simpler, saner life, and to persist for weeks or even months In the use of remedies suggested, you cannot ex pect improvement. For instance, a woman writes that she looks florid, almost apoplectic, especially in evening gowns. She wants a "bleach, internal or external." A florid complexion cannot be soft ened by any bleach. This woman ad mits that she has taken arsenic inter nally but it has had no effect on her high color. If she took enough arsenic to reduce a naturally florid complexion to pallor she would not live to enjoy her triumph. She must reach the cause of the high color, which may be over eating and drinking, tight lacing or the very conSmdn practice of facta] skin ning. t-. If the wriSber eats very rich food and ,'lfliffr.! tt'H'cMMi! tfstiuis. sfrtrmtiat'g-rKt. uaiiy reducyher diet, and her coior will fade as the stimulants no longer enter her system. If she taces too tightiy or wears very tight collars, she must loosen her corsets and buy larger, lower collars. If she has had her face skinned, her ease is hopeless. I simply refer to this as an instance of the penalty some women pay for submit ting to the teauty specialist who re moves the npper cuticle entirely. Excessive perspiration is another physical defect of which many women complain. This often comes from ner vousness. end can be reached only by treating the nerves, by gaining self control. by cultivating long sleeping hours and by avoiding that sense of driving one's self every moment of the day To secure temporary relief and avoid unpleasant odors, bathe the affec ed parts with warm watet In which baking sod^ has been dissolved, half a teaspoonfui of the powder to a quart of water. The wontan who has been years ac quiring wrinkles expects that a "real beauty doctor" can fill them out In a few weeks provided the patient has the price of the treatment. This is a cure which motspy cannot buy. It lies in the patience affd disposition of tht patient. First learn what causes your wrinkies. It may not aiways be time You may have some other ailment which is digging wrinkles into a skin which should be ftawtess. Perhaps your feet ache. That will cause a drawn look which will end in wrinkles around your mouth. Perhaps your eyesight is fail ing. squtnting wtil cause wrinkles around the eyes and crow's feet. Have your eyets examined and relieve the strain. Try first to trace your wrinkles to some ache or pain which can be re lieved If this does not exist and it is a question of years, then perhaps you are using! the wrong face lotion. The woman With a dry skin should never use a lotion containing an astringent like borax of benzoin. Her skin re quires a .cream that will soften, not draw it- If the wrinkies are very pro nounced. the fiesh can be fed with the following cream, but this must not te used Wh<f" there is a tendency to a growth of hair or down on the face, as lanolin will encourage this growth: Tannin. 1-2 gramme Lanoline....30 grammes Oii of sweet almonds.20 grammes Melt the lanoline and oil in a double boiler with as little heat as possible. Remove from the Ore and beat in the tannin acs the mixture cools. Speaking of superfluous hair, the woman who has a soft down on face or arms should not attempt any violent means of removing this. The X-ray is used to remove the hair, but it often leaves the skin as dry as parchment Electroiysis. or the electric needle, is used to pick the hairs out. but it is pafhful and almost Impossible in case of the soft down. Better far to bleach the tiny hairs by an application of peroxide ^f hydrogen, nine parts; aqua ammonia, one part. Apply with a camp's hair brush until the hairs are so iyght that they do not show against theHesh. Moth patches, which next to super fluous hair, count among the commonest feminine trials, are often due to a tor pid liver. Eat quantities of fruit, par ticularly oranges; take exercise in the fresh air, and, internally, use salts under the direction of your physician or a reliable druggist. If the patches are very deep seated, while taking the above treatment, touch the tots with a camel's hair brush dipped in the fol lowing bleach:— White precipitate.1 dram Subnitrate of bismuth.1 dram Benzoinated lard.1 ounce Have this put up by a responsible druggist, and after using it every night for a week, you will find the spots fading. Dull-colored hair, muddy hair, lifeless hair—these all worry middle-aged wo men. Do not resort to dyes ^r bleaches, but ascertain the shampoo best suited to the coloring of your hair and use that faithfully. For hair that should be golden-brown use a little peroxide of hydrogen, say a half teaspoonful in the rinse water. Never use ammonia or borax on dark hair, but a plain grean soap shampoo with plenty of clean rinse water. For red hair I have a special shampoo mixture, which for mula I will be giad to send on receipt of stamped and addressed envelope. TACT <N T!ME Of TROUBLE is an invaluable asaet for the man or woman with aociai ambitiona. And please tear in m!mtt.hat, tarrtwnntt,<mi)y)nm. WsaM know the type of girl who hangs breathlessly on every word uttered by the woman of social influence. or who praiaea the hideous gowna of the woman whoae dinner invitations she desires to secure. She is the gir! who aimpiy toadies. The tactful giri is not a toady—and what !a more she does not have to be Tact consists of doing the gracious thing in a gracioua way at the psycho logical moment when graciousness is moat required. Tact is forgetfulness of self with ut "gush Slang may not oe good form, but it is often most ex pressive in an article on good form, and there is no word which will ex press so clearly a certain state of mind and form of conversation as that word 'gush." The tactful girl is the gir! we are all glad to see in time of trouble She will not open the wound afresh She will not try to belittle our particular form of affliction. And she wl'l not leave the scene of trouble to carry tales The other night wo old-time friends came to the parting of the ways, aimpiy because one was in trouble and the other was not tactfui. And they were through an experience which would try the strongest nerves The man with out tact would havT gone all to pieces under the same experience and strain, but he did not realize that fact or. more plainly speaking, he did not think for his friend. instead he strode flippantly into the presence of the man who was holding his nerves down with a grip iike iron and proceeded jauntily to remark:— 'Say. i heard a good one about Blank to-day." "Heavens, man." answered his friend, don't tel! me funny stories when I'm in this frame of mind." "Oh. you'll be all over this pretty soon—and next year you'll laugh about t." Quite true—so kind is Providence in softening bereavement or failure with the balm of time! But just at that moment, the flippant remark was iike salt on an open wound. The man in ijJMES AGA!N !N VOGUE ONE-P!ECE COS *r* TER a reign of nearly a decade, the separate skirt is forced into H retirement. the independent blouseistossedintothediscard. From the jumble of fall fashions, the one piece costume, with a practically un broken line from the shoulder to hem has emerged triumphant. The well gowned woman of the moment builds her wardrobe almost exclusively from one-pieee costumes, with matching or harmonious wraps. This is not an economical change by any means, for there has never neen a style so altogether pleasing to the thrifty woman as the tailored or semi tailored suit with its various separate blouses. Wraps are always an ex pensive item in the fall and winter wardrobe, and with a variety of one piece costumes, a similar variety of wraps is almost essential. The wrap which will look well with a herring bone princess costume is not precisely the correct wrap to wear with a cos tume built from silk-and-wool texture, supple broadcloth or crepe meteor. In fact thf^henera! use of suppie, clinging cloth isWtcreasing the number of wrag? needed 3m3 making the building of the winter tv^rd(-obe a moat absorbing pro Howevir. as the costume is the thing, iet us consider it for various uses. The stmi-tatiored costume shouid come Srst every woman's pians. cer tainty in those of the woman who has much shipping to do. or who goes to business (each day. The tatest demand of Dame Fashion aiong this iine is for the princess creation in medium weight cioth. esjsctaiiy rich colorings with Hne hair stripes of biack or deeper hue. made wiilh bias bands of satin or with siik braiih end a chemisette and haif sieeves ot "et. either dyed to match the fabric in the costume or of ecrue. cream or white.) This princess gown is apt a girdie of seif-tone siik or to have soft satis, buiit high to simuiate the popuiar. it wiii bt short-waisted effect, and with worn iong. semi-fitted coat. backet with ratter a short Mae in the ieest Most of these octets have tony skirts cut in deep points, and the really smart ones for hard wear show little trimming beyond the siik braid or satin bands. With such a costume or suit is worn a hat of beaver, satin or felt, trimmed with treasts and wings, never ostrich tips. A popular trimming for tailored satin hats is the aigrette, and aigrettes sufHclent to encircie one of the new satin shapes will cost all of twenty-Cve dollars. Stunning breasts and wings in shaded effects to harmonize with all the new shades of cloth can be had at much lower prices and are far more durable. Almost fussy are the next set of costumes, such as might be chosen for calling, receptions, afternoons at home, club meetings and other indoor func tions. These are of crepe meteor or other novelty goods with a satin lustre, mesaaline, broadcloths so supple as to suggest satin itself, silky nets, chiffon cloths, etc. While very little material is required for these gowns, four or five yards of douMe width cloth being, t sufRclent, the trimmings and nets and fringes are so expensive that the or iginal cost of the cloth itself is a mere] bagatelle, compared to the accessories. The Directoire and draped skirts are In high favor for these one-piece cos tumes. and while in cutting, the skirt and waist are made separately they are so cleverly joined and the Juncture so cleverly hidden by trimming, that the effect is of a single garment from throat to hem. The draped skirt Is of circular pattern with a seam down the front. The narrow, sheath skirt has a bias seam straight over the hips. The modified sheath skirt gains in popular ity and is very becoming to the aver age figure. Sometimes Instead of a mere split up the left side, showing fine pleating beneath, you have a de cided suggestion of Greek draperies on the left side, the opening outlined by applied trimmings or fringe. As the season advance*, more and more fringe is noted on smart gowns. It started as an edging or finish for sashes, then It was employed to edge tunics, and now it is seen all over the one-piece costume, and in narrow widths outlining *to*e offset* *a Mouse*. trouble to!d the tactless man what he thought of him as a comforter, and the tactless man told the troubled man what he thought of a chap who cou!3 not laugh in the face of a catastrophe, and the door was banged between them. If only the tactless man had let his friend give vent to his feelings. If he had sat slient or uttered an occasional "that's so." as the tale proceeded, the friend would have been relieved by the process of pouring forth hia soul, and they would have gone out for a nerve resting walk, arm In arm. A young man became entangled with a scheming woman much older than himself and was rescued from an un timely matrimonial fate by a resource ful mother. Among his friends it was agreed that the affair was not to be discussed in his presence, but one night at a soda! gathering a woman who never loses her chance to laud her own sex remarked tactlessly:— "I hear Miss Dash is to be married to a Buffalo man next week Well, George, that was a lucky escape for you. You ought to thank your mother every day of your life." sickening silence followed, and every man in the room glared openly or covertly at the tactless young mat ron whose smug remark had opened an old wound and made every one in the room fee! awkward. The girl who can go into a sick room and cheer the sufferer without making light of the latter's affliction, who can go into the house of mourning and show courteous sympathy or perform useful service without becoming maud lin and hysterical, who can soothe, by a well-chosen remark, the feelings of some woman who has Just been snubbed by another person.—she is the tactfui girl. If your friend has just met with a toss, or passed through some unpleas ant experience, iet her tel! you all about it without interruption. Do not stop her at the end of the first sentence with "Oh. yea. but I had a much more severe attack The girl who can listen while another party relieves her feelings te the tactfu) girl. Rememter that for the time being the tndtvtdua! in troubie cannot tet her thoughts from herself. Do not try to perform thia miracle for her She wilt not thank you. Ailow for the mentai stress and nervs strain under which your friend is labor ing—and do not interrupt nor thrust your own affairs upon her attention. At another time, when she has disposed of her particular problems, she will be glad to listen to your confidences. For the moment, force yourself to concen trate upon her affairs, her troubles. That is tact in time of trouble, a social asset well worth cultivating. Fruit Punch.—Into a large bowl put one heaping cup of medium dark brown sugar, and pour over this two cups of t rather strong hot tea. Let this stand until the syrup is perfectly cold. Add to this one cup of orange juice, one cup of lemon juice, a small can of pre served strawberries, a small can of shredded pineapple and a bottle of cherries. Mix the fruit and the syrup well. Into the punch bowl from which it is to be served put a large block of tee and then add the mixed fruit- Now open two bottles of ginger ale and pour into it. then two or three large potties of apollinaris water. Mix well and serve- If not sweet enough, add more sugar to suit the taste.
