An illustration OF the abject devotion OF
some women ia New York to society was
related by "A fashionable physician TO "a re-
porter lie had been called regularly ev-
cry day to treat woman who was very
popular socially for general debility and
exhaustion. She insisted upon dancing
until 3 or 4 O'Clock every morning, and her
days were a perpetual round OF receptions,
lunches and teas. She would not take
time for sufficient sleep and thought that
the doctor could manage 20 pull her
through the season by tonics of various
kinds. She insisted upon continuing her
social rounds, 50 he hit upon plan for re-
organizing her day for her, and this she
now carries out 20 the letter. Her day be
gins at 3 O'Clock In the afternoon instead
of 10 In the morning. Her rooms are
darkened, and nothing Is allowed TO dis
turb her rest until 3 O'Clock. Then she
takes tepid bath and is put through a
course OF massage by Swedish woman.
She is rubbed vigorously and her blood
forced into circulation. Then she takes a
cup of chocolate, dresses for the afternoon,
and at O'Clock steps into her carriage to
make her necessary calls. An hour before
dinner she lies down again in a darkened
room, and after dinner she goes at her own
pace until 8 or 4 the next morning. The
only stipulation the doctor made was that
before going to bed she should drink at
least pint of milk and eat some biscuits

The room with many doors Is often a
sore vexation to the woman who is striv-
ing TO evolve a pleasing interior. What
can you do with such room? asks some
one in despair. In the first place see how
many of the doors can be conveniently dis
pensed with in your coming and going. If
any, make the door an ornamental panel,
on which pictures or bracket with a good
piece of bric-a- brac, or a set Of shelves,
may be hung If there is sufficient height
between the top of the door and the cell
ing, put "A shelf for snowy ornaments that
have good color over the door, or a long
narrow mirror or flower picture. Some Of
the studies that come with the art maya
zines are used TO great advantage in this
place. A different effect may be had by
placing tall bookcase or buffet or sofa
against the door, and often this is improv-
cd by first covering the door with some
harmonious hanging used in folds, or 30
plain and straight that il looks only like
a panel. Other doors that il Is necessary
to use may be draped with some pretty
curtain. hanging in folds at one side, or
carried across the top of the doorway. Have

BOND ISSUE NOT TAKEN UP.

The Secretary of the Treasury of the
United States recently advertised bonds
bearing per cent. interest for sale tc
the amount of 100000, 900. He required
the payment of "a premium sufficiently
large to bring the interest down to
about three and one-half per cent.
Were these bonds jumped at by in
vestors?
Why not?
Mr.. Carlisle had to beg the New York
bankers through political friends to take
up the loan that the Administration
might not be embarrassed, and today,
with all the bids in, he still has $3.50, 900
worth of bonds for which he has re-
ceived no offer. In other words there
is no sale for United States government
bonds bearing high rate of interest.
A year ago and Uncle Sam could have
filed his Golfers with the gold of the
world had he chosen to go into the
market as borrower.
The people have lost confidence-not
i'm the United States, for such propo--
sition would be imbecile-but in the
party that is now in control. It's finan-
cial policy is so absolutely rotten and
unsound that the world hardly knows to
what extent its vagaries may carry it..
The Administration has only itself to
blame. II provides bill to raise the
revenues and only succeeds in creating
a deficit of $4,000, 900 the first ground
hop. To partly cover up this deficit the
Secretary of the Treasury issues series
Of bonds the proceeds derived from
which he calmly announces he proposes
TO use illegally, while trying to allay
fears of their legality by adding that
the bonds would be legal even If he did
not use their proceeds legally.
Then the Administration plunges
further into finance by its bill TO coin
vacuum, TO create a fiat issue of $50, ,000,-
600.
Is IL any wonder that investors hesi-
tate, and refuse 10 invest in any scheme
proposed by men who advocate such dis
honest and illegal measures.
