1T does people lot of good to be
chastened," said a woman of the world.
"I have seen any number OF instances
where really disagreeable people have
been changed into charming individuals
simply by finding that either the world

ton or that reverses OF fortune render
IL impossible for them to command the
situation as they have formerly been able
to.
For instance when / hear a young
girl discussing her approaching debut as

somewhat aggressive and upish young
lady transformed into a modest, kindly
young woman 1t is a pleasure TO meet.
Again a scornful belle fancies. because
she has plenty of attention. that she can
afford TO snub those who do not alto
gether suit her fancy; but her fresh
ness passes off. her tickle court turns to
younger and newer charmers, and she,
too. becomes chastened, and concludes
it is the best policy to make herself gen
orally agreeable.
Another case / have in mind is that

The Northern girl looked shocked.

went on. Maybe we don't feel just the
way you do about a mans drinking; but
I'll tell You one thing. / never saw such
hard drinking among women in my life
as 1 saw in New York and Washington
last winter. Then, New Years Day is
different. anyway. We don't count it.
Every hostess gets out her best wines
and prides herself on the quantity and
quality of them. But this Miss Wilson

her own, and so New Years Day, when

could just go and mix what he needed
most The men that called first passed
the word along. and there was a stream
OF frock coats pouring into that house all
afternoon. The men went on in their
mad career calling at other places. until
they began to see double and feel like
walking quadruple. Then they made
break for the Wilson house and got what
ever they usually take next morning.
Some OF them called there two or three
times. and Miss Wilson and her mother
didn't seem to mind il at all. They just
told them to drop in whenever they hap
pened TO be passing that way; and the
number of times each man happened to
be passing was just i'm proportion TO the
amount of wine he could stand without
looking for comfort. Jack Bishop was the
only fellow that didn't call on Miss Will

but that his butler would be ready for

morning than on any "a of January since

He's her fiance. They say he doesn't

Neither does she. She says drinking is

INTELLIGENT WOMEN SHOCKED.
Dan Bea rd Asserts Their X eIation-
ship to Lower Animals

The large audience at the lecture given
at Sherrys. in New York. yesterday af-
ternoon by Dan Beard appeared to be
largely due TO the curiosity excited by the
title Of the talk. which was ANNOUNCED as
The Legs and Arms Of the FISH
Mr. Beard did not keen his audience
long in suspense. He announced imme-
Ciiately that he proposed to discuss the
evolution of the human leg and arm
and he further explained that the title
had been given to the lecture by his pu-
pills. to whom it had first been delivered
The lecturer then showed by means of
sketches the similarity between the pee
toTal and ventral fins of fish, the wings
and legs of birds, the fore and hind legs
of animals. and the arms and legs of man.
He said that the formation of a chickens
wing, as regards both its bones and its
muscles, is exactly the same as that of
the human arm, except that the fingers
of the former are grown together and
that the only difference between the legs
of the two animals is that the chickens
toes have become its feet.
''The next time you carve a chicken.

he was created, and had gone on at that
rate until now. he would not have de

Among other Illustrations shown were

ian" or tramp. Mr.. Beard calls a tramp
an ascidian because he once had back
bone, but has lost it, like the ascidian
"Our institutions make tremps," he
said, "and We make our institutions: ev-
cry time we make a tramp We are carl
caturing God Almighty. and If it is a
crime to caricature few politicians, how
much worse is it to caricature God?"
Mr.. Beard concluded his lecture by
drawing picture upside down, to show
that when one understood foundation
principles one could do anything.
