A woman who alleged that she had taken
poison. and whose superficial symptoms seemed
to bear out her story, was taken to Roosevelt
Hospital several days ago for treatment. She
left a letter in her room that was intended TO
give her relatives the impression that she had
tried to commit suicide. When her case was
diagnosed at the hospital no traces of poison
were found. and the physicians came to the
conclusion that the woman was either cham

Several years have passed since Miss Anna
Dickinson made a semi-publica appearance in
this city by summoning n dozen or moro pee-
pie to meet her in the Aston House and listen
to the story of her wrongs. Her hair was
gray and her physical enarRy had been much
impaired. but she talked IS vigorously as In
the days when she was a popular lecturer. She
then said that she was perfectly zane when she

Loving cups are presented from time 10 time

lar member. and such presentations have been
made recently in several women's clubs. A

but It may be ornamental Not long ago q
woman's organization presented a very hand
some loving cup to one of It's members and Il
has proved n white elephant. Naturally. she
was proud Of tho cup. and she wasn't averss to
having other people know about II. She brought
It regularly to the meetings of tho society. IL
was n cumbersome thing TO carry. but that
didn't deter her. There Il no record of its
having ,een filled b. the owner and sent
around. Int the fact that the loving cup was
always present in empty grandeur at the
meetings gave them iOOe. The owner of IL
even showed her devotion to the loving cup
when sho was invited 10 several big dinners by
bringing II with her. 1t has stood on several
such occasions In front OF her plato. where tho
inscription might he read. Some of the jeaf-
GUS members OF tho organization have said un-
kind things ABOUT Mrs. Blank and her hard
worked loving cup. 1t was eveL suggested
that hereafter when she was invited TO dinner
tho invitation should include tho loving cup.

New York that is so seldom filled and so fire.
