Tragic Suicide of Mable Powell, Well
Known In Chicago Society Circles,
After q Drunken Orgy.

Chicago, Dec. 24.-Mabel Powell,
beautiful and gifted, student in
conservatory of music, and we'll
known in high social circles, killed
herself at two o'clock this morning
in Clark street resort, because, i.
is alleged, she failed to return to her
mothers home, No. 1907 Drexel boule-
ward. Accompanied by another young
woman, who has enjoyed all the adj
vantages of wealth, refinement and
the best social surroundings, AMI re-
sides in Cincinnati, Miss Powell
spent her last night on earth il; the
environs frequented by all-nighters
of both sexes and watched by the po-
lice as the haunts of crime. While
poison was gnawing at her vitals. the
girl danced, sang, laughed, drank
champagne and abandoned herself to
an orgy. This manner of death was
sought by Miss Powell, her friends
say, because her heart was broken.
because her mother was angry and
unforgiving, and because, it is al
legged, her admirer refused to provide
her with shelter.

Among the festivities of old New York

an important place, says Mrs. Julia
Ward Howe, in the Atlantic. In every
house of any pretension the ladies of
the family sat in their drawing-room,
arrayed in their best dresses, and the
gentlemen of their acquaintance made
short visits, during which wine and
rich cakes were offered. 1t was allow

oh. how proud! When we are married I
shall always try to be the best of huS-

You are the one to make me-make

are invaluabfe-they are not.

JACK"
Long the tired woman stared at the
loving words-could they have been
written to her? Why had she not read
them oftener? Why was it that all the
beautiful romance had died out of her
life? Whose was the fault? Again her
eyes devoured the dear words before
her. How her heart warmed with ten
derness toward the writer. How she
hungered for the kisses and caresses
he used to lavish upon her. If only to-
night he would take her in his arms all
tired, nervous and unstrung as she was,
and pet and comfort her. If she could
hear him call her by the old, fond, fool
ish names how it would tighten her
heavy heart and rest ! er weary body.
Then she thought of the time she
had repulsed his loving advances-of
her petulant retorts, her irritable COM
| plainings under misfortunes and re-
verses. How far, far below his ideal
she had fallen. Would he ever love her
so well again? Could she ever get back
to her throne?
Solemnly the bells. began to toll for
the dying year. They sounded deep
in the heart of the waiting wife.
"Oh, God," she prayed, ''for the New
Years fight, grant me patience. gen

out circulars to the chairmen of all
