IT is as beautiful sentimentally as il is
just an d manly that the people should
cheer Mrs Cleveland more because she
never courts admiration. BY being per.
fectly true to herself she is perfectly
true to womanhood. She neither seeks
nor repels admiration hence she gets
more and heartier admiration than any
woman living. One of the reporters
catching the inspiration of the moment
describes her entrance to the
banquet hall Of the Reform Club
graphically thus: "She advanced
toward the front of the box, self pos
sessed, smiling and letting her wrap fall
back so that it hung about her shoulders
and showed the graceful curves of her
throat and bare neck. As several Of her
friends admiringly remarked, Mrs.
Cleveland never looked better in her
life. Her dark brown hair was twisted
into simple, graceful coil, and brushed
back from her low, broad forehead.
Something, perhaps the mood she was in,
perhaps the gown she was wearing,
gave an expression of unusual beauty
and sweetness TO her face, which is
always both beautiful and sweet. She
smiled down at the crowd much as she
might smile into the face Of a friend she
was greeting in her reception room.

The improperly to say nothing of the
cruelty and foolhardiness of Banker
Hall, Of New Canaan, Conn. is startling.
His daughter, Julia, an accomplished,
rehued sensible, prudent and chaste
girl, with great deal Of religious fervor
suddenly wandered away from home a
month ago and after being found chilled,
starved and unable to give any rational
account Of her aimless wanderings
showed unmistakable signs Of demeutia.
She was taken home, and at the first op-
portunity she escaped and wandered
through the country again. The entire
community was aroused, searching
parties secured the country in vain for
days and yesterday she walked into her
fathers house alone, saying in explana-
tion. that she was miserable and wanted
to be alone. Through a false and
foolish sentiment, dictated partly
by love, partly by pride, the girl
has not been put under proper treat
ment and restraint and removed from the
scene Of her misanthropic melancholy.
She might be cured; she certainly
should be put under restraint. If such
cases can be cured they can be cured
easier and more effectively in the early
stages than in the later stages Of the
disease. 1t is painfully pathetic, of
course, to send young girl to retreat
or an asylum, but it is infinitely worse
to run the risk to which her wandering
mind exposes herself and her friends.
Charles Lambs sister who was similarly
affected, killed her mother with a carving
knife in a fit of partial insanity.
