HELPED BY CHARITY'S HAND
About 10000 People Relieved in
Washington the Past Season.
Brief Summary Of the Work Done by the As
Gociated Charities and the Central
Union Mission.

sixty-five thousand at the usual basis
OF calculation, and fifty-two thousand at
a very close calculation, is the number of
people who were helped by the board of
charity in this city during the past season.
A summary OF the relief work done by
the Associated Charities was obtained yes-
terday from Mr.. I. S. Emery, secretary of
that organization. The report has not
yet been formally presented TO the board.
Mr. Emery said that the work done has
been so much in excess OF any previous
year that it is simply startling The
figures, which viii interest the public are
those relating to expense, and the bene-
ficiaries.
There were aided 1925 families, which,
on the accepted basis OF calculation, means
$4,000 individuals The appropriations
TO the charities amounted TO $1,000.
The Central Relief Committee had, in
gross, nearly $13 000 from the canvass
ing committee, and SIC, coo from Congress.
Out of this, 81 GOO were paid TO the Associ-
Union Mission; other sums, as daily
reported in The Times, having been ap-
propriated for work on the streets and TO
other charitable institutions.
The report OF the Central Union Mis-
sion was printed yesterday. The total
number of families relieved was 5,S5S; the
greatest number OF families received in
one day, 600: total number of meals and
lodgings furnished in compensation for
work, "a .34S: the total amount of money
received from all sources up to March /, was
81, 299.33; in provisions they received
S1O6.37
1t VIII be seen that the total number of
Of relief was nearly $4,000, or about Co.
0o0 persons as families are usually num-
bered. Making a fair allowance, the
number OF people aided by charity could
not have been less than $4,000, which,
by the way, is exceedingly close to the
estimate made by The Times at the open
ing OF the season, which estimate was
made with tie assistance of n prominent
officer OF The knights of Labor.
The Central Relief Committee viii meet
on SatuHSSE next, when, it is expected
that the. affairs of the season VIII be
wound up, Mr.. Emery said yesterday
that the Central Union Mission had pre-
sented a bill OF 500 for the use Of the
tion committee. This, he said, was un-
expected as the explicit understanding was
that the room was given free of charge.
Mr Emery also said that application was
made TO the Central Relief Committee for
compens alton for the employees at the
Louisiana avenue Eub-kitchen. He believes
that tie committee VIII be able to meet
all its obligations.

towering headdresses then in vogue, soaring
foot above the head; but something rather
ambitious. There will be masses piled high
upon the head and fringe over the brow
as likely as not. They never wore bangs
during the First Empire? Perhaps not, but
the p rincess of Walesis good enough empire
authority in these republican days. One does
not need TO be historically accurate. l
should say that many of these high colt
fures, with their combs of cleaning gold,
were Spanish rather than French in their
suggestions. This idea is heightened by
tn numbers of women with jet black hair in
whom nature is Initiating the new art.
And always there is the woman who
has the Beardsley part to her black locks
:. and shows the bare, sleeked-down outline
of her head. a woman's head so coifed
always looks proportionally small.

Deaths Euphemisms.

j cannot tell when the custom arose, but 1
know thatitwas customary in New England
some sixty orseventy years ago to announce
a suicide in the list OF deaths by euphemisp
as. "In this city, LIST instant, A B., sud
denly" It was so common that. on seeing
such q notice. any one would understand at
once that the deceased had taken his own
life. Those were the days when newspapers
understood and respected a certain degree
OF reserve In regard to personal feeling,
whether OF Joy or sorrow. individuals had
some privacy.
Another euphennism in regard TO death is
the phrase, IF anything should happen"
Persons speak Of king their viii, or max
ing any definite arrangements concerning
their possessions. 'in case anything should
happen TO them" The phrase is almost
invariably used where death is hourly
expected, certain things are TO be done, or
certain persons called. IF anything should
happen meaning that one thing which is
sure TO happen.-Journal of American Folk
Lore.

Gifts of Bridal Gowns.

There is a curious custom among the
daughters OF the house of Hapsburg, whose
bridal trains, instead of finishing an honor
able career in the ballroom, are bestowed
after the ceremony on the church, whose
sacred floor they have swept. Only the
other day during the centenary celebration
at Rennweg, the altar floor was covered
with sheen OF satin and silver, mellowed
by the breath of age, that once formed part
or Marie Antoinette's wedding garment.

is a heavy material, too heavy formuch of

to drape gracefully. But it's serviceable
stuff for country wear, and it suits the girl

it covers the counters. 1t is pTettiest

the paler sort. 1t is nattiest in white

But the Beardsley fad is influencing dress
All the effects this spring are of violent
contrastslight and dark, the bringing
together of glaring opposites. Did you
ever see black Swiss muslin over a white
silk slip, or leaf-green muslin draped over
ionqul yellow? Yesterday 1 looked at a
dark, blood-red silk skirt edged with a tiny
ruffle of black Swiss. Over this was hung
full skirt of black Swiss caught to the
undersiip here and there with rosettes of
red velvet ribbon. The bodice was a black
blouse over a tight-fitted lining of red.
The sleeves we're great black puffs to the
elbows, with frills of lace below. A black
lace hat covered with red roses went with
this chic masquerade gown of Madame

cuss JOY, Sorrow, and Anger.
Remarkable Activity and Intellectual Energy
Of all the Women Clubs in the
District Of Columbia.

Womans Anthropological Society, at
its last meeting, discussed psychology OF
psychic phenomena as demonstrated by
Joy, sorrow, fear, and anger. Miss Annie
Tolman Smith, in charge of this section,
made an admirable report of the work
done by her committee.
The paper of the hour, Dr. Lehman's
idea of Pain and pleasure was most
ably and interestingly presented by Mrs
Nora HoegelSbcrger. 1t was not trans
latiou OF the work of the great master, but
a study worked out, adapted, and tested
by personal experience.
Miss Edith G. Wescott, one of the
committee, who had been charged with
the duty of collecting statistics upon
psychic demonstration OF emotions, pre-
sented her report.
Besides the personal experiences OF
adults, the committee had received re-
sponses from 800 students, young men and
women, as to the effects of the emotions
of JOY, sorrow, anger, and fear.
1t is somewhat curious to note here the
different effects produced by the same
emotion in the two sexes. In the case OF
fear the majority of boys reported weak
ening of the knees and the girls a sinking
in the pit OF the stomach. In pleasure the
boys grew hot, the girls cold In anger
so per cent. of the boys felt it in the fist
