 ''The woman smuggler," she said, 'is the neryiest type of criminal. As a rule, she is working in collision with some man, although there have been instances where dressmakers have att tempted to smuggle in laces and things of this sort entirely for their own gain. The hustle was one of the most favorite modes of conveying smuggled goods ashore, and when the very large hustle was used a season or two ago it was possible for a woman to get in whole pieces of silk and rolls of lace in this way.
 When detected, the woman smuggIer as rule resorts to tears and then gives away her male aceomplice. but if she be an old offender her manner Is that of all criminals, cool and defiant. These women are invariably richly dressed and have plenty of money and jewels, so it would seem that they make it pay in spite of the precautions that are taken.
 One of the strangest cases we have had was that of a German immigrant WOHldH WHOSe DdDy DOdy was wound around with more than 50 yards of lace. She had been employed by a woman smuggler in the cabin and hardly un- derstood what her offense was when she was confronted with the evidence of 1t. This baby, by the way, was the youngest smuggler on the records, be- ing only 13 months old. It was allowed to go with reprimand.
 'The restrictions that are employed at present by the customs officers make smuggling a more difficult task than ever before. The examinations are no longer superficial, and there is special watch kept on board ship during a voy- age. No doubt women of respectable appearance who are clever enough to avoid suspicion will always be able to get in small articles such as lace, fans, jewels. etc., for it would not do to ac- cuse people wrongfully.
 'There are some important cases of attempted smuggling on the part of women who are about to start from the other side with goods which are to be smuggled into this country if possible, and in some of these cases a cable will

And yet the American woman does not appreciate the condition of af- fairs. Bad food has made more trouble than anything else in this world. It has driven men to drink and, worse than that, to dyspepsia, while it has ruined the looks of many a pretty woman Overdone meat, expressive butter, weghty bread and badly set tables have made men murderers mentally if not in actuality.

The other gown is a dinner dress of chiffon, embroidered with white pearl beads, with accordion plaited chiffon on the shoulders.

 As Lent is essentially an improving time, the average woman joins a cer- tain number of classes and is asked to drop in as a visitor at number more. Being that very common thing, busy woman, I do not regularly belong to any classes, although I go to several. carrying a bunch of violets to give the president as a sort of ticket of admiS- sion.
 In this way one learns an immense amount. One learns how to listen with ones eyes shut when the Psychologist talks about the meaning of the queer hieroglyphics and impresses upon your mind that Cleopatra was very or dinary looking little woman, with fair hair and a snub nose, whose chief charm to the Egyptians was her good complexion. That lecturer wonders why his class is so small the next week and does not realize until afterward that because of this reference to the skin of Cleopatra woman, fickle woman, love- ly woman, has gone in a body of 10 or 20 to hear a beauty teacher talk about How to Manage the Skin."
 Then I have learned to stare straight into vacancy while the woman of the present bangs a SaVel ana talks aD0ut 'the woman of the future," and I can be quietly enthusiastic on the subject of dress reform. I was not always so. There was a time when to listen to the dress reformers made my angry pas sions rise and I wanted to go up and tell them what I thought. But now, when some woman who has been living on overdone beef, on too much pastry, on oatmeal eaten in Jumps or too many preserves gets up and tells about a we'll fitting corset being an invention of the devil and a pretty gown an impos- sibility as connected with brains, sim ply smile and give myself satisfied wriggle, which means that there is comfort in properly made corsets.
 A speaker of this kind invariably meanders off and asks~with much ex- citement, What will the coming gen. eration be when the woman of today is satisfied to be merely beautifH?' and I sit there and think of Dr. Schenck and of the fact that beauty is hered- itary, and I remember handsome fami- lies like the Mays and the Cuttings and the Works and the Carys, and there come to me visions of the loveliest healthiest babies have ever seen-ba- bies who inherited their beauty from

They were Topekans and they were

Il am very certain he cannot even tell
me my business, much less diagnose
for me any physical ailment which L
NAV possibly have. If Prof. tombstone
calls the turn I viii buy each of you a
new hat"
The three adjourned to Prof. John
stones consultation rooms and the To-
pekan who made the liberal proposition
awaited his turn to enter the sanctum
sanctorum of the celebrated reader OF
unuttered thought. In about fifteen
minutes he reappeared in the waiting
room, and, turning the palm Of his
hand ceilingward, exclaimed: Il admit
it's on me All have to say is that
he is simply wonderful. I don't be-
grudge the S1.OO fee, either. He's all
right, that man is

of the trio business" the generous
Topekan exclaimed. He not only told
me my business, but he Furthermore
told me the condition it is in. He did
more than this: he gave me a pointer
which I intend following, and for when
I would willingly have given, had it
been necessary, a hundred dollar bill"
How about your disease?' asked an
other of the party, as he lighted CT
gar on the veranda, and thoughtfuly
twerled the burning match between his
forefinger and thumb.
We'll, gentlemen, I'll buy each OF you
a new hat, but 1 want to say that man

I have a certain nerve disease which

Prof. tombstone told me instantly what
my ailmeut really is. He diagnosed the
disease accurately, and that, too, without
asking a solitary question What is
more he told me that he could cure me,
provided I would take treatment of him
for two months and I told him that I
would commence today. Ibelieve that any
man who can do what he can do can

Why do you know that some of the
