SPRING LUXURIES WON'T MIX.
A Brooklyn Man Takes Book Beer and Ice
Cream md Then Dies.

Cream md Then Dies.
A Brooklyn confectioner met his death,
according to the Citizen. in this way:
When book beer blossomed on the saloon
sign boards this spring, he dropped in next
door to try it. He liked it and soon took it
regularly. One evening after having drank
considerable book beer he left the place and
took home with him q pint of ice cream.
He ate it before retiring, and during the
night be was taken very sick. When his
wife asked him if she should send for a
physician he told her he would be all right
by morning. When she went to call him in
the morning he was dead. It is very evil
dent that book beer and ice cream do not
mix well together.

It's Healthy to sing.

1t is fine, healthy sign to see 20 many
young men studying the art of singing for.
apart from the pleasure it gives to the ear,
1t strengthens the lungs and is the enemy OF
pneumonia and consumption.

watching the golden river sparkle in the
sun, when the fashionable pageant arrived
with swoop and took possession of the
neighborhood. The tootle of the horns, the
clanking Of silver harnesses, the sharp
cracking Of whips and the silvery laughter
of pretty women formed rare and exciting
harmony.
The descent of such bevy Of perfectly
costumed women from their aerial perches
was, besides, splendid sight, the colors,
grace and symmetry of the picture being all
that the most hypercritical would demand.
As they rustled and shimmered about I
noted that one pink, dreamy-eyed little
girl. who clutched pretty china teapot in
her arms, was a great favorite with the en-.

hanced by the dimly lighted auditorium
with its solemn accessories. The crowds
will fill the churches, and the doors will be
kept locked until the entire services are
ended, thus giving the clergy an oppor-

WEARING MEMS APPAREL.
The latest masculinity affected BY the
most alert of the society girls consists of
shirt, collars, scarfs and waistcoats pre-
cisefy of the same sort as worn by the men.
For theater wear at night black waistcoat
with three buttons, displaying the largest
possible expanse of snowy shirt bosom is
worn, and the high collar and white bow
are an exact reflection of the cleaning and
starchy articles that have so long formed the
mainstay Of full-dressed masculinity. AN
old broker, who seldom notices how his
pretty daughters dress, chanced to be at the
theater on q recent night with an old club
crony, and in looking about the house he
caught sight of his two girls in box party.
They both wore the masculine getup and
the broker strained his eyes to make out
what it all meant.

WOMEN in EVERY FIELD.

WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPATCHl
Let us have a respite in fashions-not
that we are tired so early in the season, for
the novelty has not worn off the novelties
yet, neither has the subject been exhausted
nor have we In Rider Haggard Ian
guage, as soon expect fish to weary of the
water or an eagle of the rushing air, as a
woman to weary in searching after, looking
at, or reading about the latest styles. But
we are continually accused of searching
after nothing else, having eyes for nothing
else, reading nothing else, and of missing or
disregarding the sermons in stones, books
in the running brooks and good in every
thing" by the mad rush after fashiondom.
And then, on the other hand, if we do step
aside from this pursuit and give the bulk of
our attention to anything outside the witch
ing realty-say to letters-we are supposed
to become slovenly and unlovelY Literary
cranks, or unfeminine, unlovable and alto
gether undesirable wives or sweethearts.
Most men and some women seem to be-
lieve that no woman can do anything be-
sides trade at a counter, nurse baby, or
stand before a mirror and still dress we'll
and be lady-like, notwithstanding such il
lustrious and dressy contradictions to this
unjust supposition as Mrs. Frank Leslie
Mrs. John Sherwood, Ella Wheeler Will
cox, Kate Field, ct al. Or if she learn a
trade, especially one which up to that time
has been monopolized by men, then she is
judged coarse, vulgar and unsexed.
OTHER THINGS WOMEN ARE DOING.
How about this? Let us see what woman
is doing besides watching for that fruit of
the loom, blended and dyed to add richer
reflection TO her bloom, or the polishing Of
the diamond that is to fash in important
rivalry to her eyes; or, the death of the
flowers that are to yield her their perfume;
or the slaughter of the innocents that by
their plumage shall add piquancy to her
style.
Mrs. D. C. Crowly (Jennie June), the

serve the forests of the State, and especially
the Adirondack woods, from needless de-
vastation. MRS Crowly has had the honor
to be elected" etc., believe the editors
usually put 1t. Wherein lies the "honor"
to this gifted woman? Is it in being ac-

Charles Kendall Adams, President of Cor

the Board of Regents of the university;
Seth Low, President of Columbia College;
Bishop Doan, Rev. DR.. Storr, ex-President

"honor" conferred by conceding to Mrs.

OTHER NOTED WOMEN.

Elizabeth Archard Conner tells us that
Mrs. May Wheeler has become the manager
of the National Woman's News Association
of Chicago-then tries to be witty at the ex-
pense of her sex bv adding: "That news
association ought to be great success" OF
course it will be. So will the State Forestry
Association and the Worlds Fair for the
same reason.
Miss Ada Sweet, of Chicago, who made
30 enviable reputation as Pension Agent,
having disbursed annually between $1,000
600 and *, ,000, 900 and accounted for every
farthing OF it, is the person who introduced
the ambulance system into that city
Recognizing the need of this service, she
went to New York, looked into the local
system, consulted with Commissioners of
Charities and Corrections, then went home
to materializc her ideas. She collected
money enough from friends to build an am
bulance, then presented it to the city. The
result has been the establishment of an am
bulance corps. well equipped and already of
great service.
Think you Miss Sweet unsexed herself by
not giving the execution of her idea to a
man, she to remain at home while he went
to New York to consult for her with other
men?
Speaking of Miss Sweet as Pension Agent
is a reminder of Miss Clara Mcknight, of
Ironton, o., who has passed q satisfactory
examination and been granted admittance
as q pension attorney. Miss Mcknight is
only Is years of age, the youngest pension
attorney in the United States, and is re-
corded as being stylish and remarkably
pretty.

Many savages have similar notions about
sneezing. Zulus think it a sign of demonia-
cal possession. When De Soto, in 1912, in
terviewed the Cacique Guachoya, that po-
tentate happened to sneeze. Ali the attend
ants stretched out their arms and cried out
such phrases as "May the sun be with you.''
Savages OF a certain African country have
most curious way of greeting a sneeze from
their Sovereign's royal nose. They imme-
diately turn their backs to him and slap the
right thigh heartily.
A New Zealand priest names a child by
repeating his stock of names until il
sneezes, thereby indicating its choice.
The reference due to a sneeze is not en-
tirely out of date. A lady in Chicago re-
Gently found that some Of her scholars in

friends never fail to say ''Gesundheit" when
a companion sneezes. We say a thing is ssnct
