On Monday afternoon a man rang tho bell of n
residence in a street near Fifth avenue, and
when the maid, who was the solitary caretaker
in charge Of the house, opened the door. he con-
fronted her with q question that astonished her.
1t happens that just opposite the house several
doctors have their offices. and no pointed out
one Of these to the maid and asked her to notice
particularly the house in which q certain ply
stefan lived. He asked her II she had ever
noticed the house before. AS 1T is directly

that dealt with every detail of the woman's APP

visitor wanted the maid TO tell him frankly IL
she had ever seen such q woman enter one of
the houses opposite and II 80 how many times.
Tho woman had not noticed anybody going in to
visit the doctor, and had. in fact, returned TO the
Tore. She told this TO the man and he seemed
greatly relieved. But the explanation of his
concern was more amusing than his excited read

Somewhat more than a year ago a wealthy
man and his beautiful wife went to Paris to live
temporarily. and they frankly announced that
this was tho first step In q social campaign OF
a very ambitious nature. There was no appar.

taken as the next step. This was to continue
until enough acquaintance of the desired
kind had been made, and was to be followed by
