The lady proved herself to be
innocent of the charges made against her
by valet and maid servant, and her
women friends have rallied to her de-
fense as valiantly as men stand by one
another under similar circumstances.
This shows decided progress in woman
toward broader standards of friendship
and should shut the mouths of her de-
tractors who love to harp upon the obso-
lete theme of woman's enmity to woman.
Meantime, this maligned young woman
in the course of her testimony confessed
to having driven some distance with a
married man on matter of business, and
having accepted some inexpensive pres
ents from the man, which facts had been
distorted and perverted by servants and
enemies.
Nevertheless, had this young woman in
the beginning of her career drawn the line
sharply between single and married men
she might have escaped this disagreeable
experience.
There is only one wise, discreet and safe
course for a young woman to pursue
when she enters upon a self-supporting
career. That course is to absolutely re-
fuse the slightest attention from any mar
ried man, unless he acts as an emissary
from his wife. Even then if the young
woman is an actress, she should realize
that she is target for the worlds Curl
GUS glances and refuse to drive alone with
a married man, even upon a matter of
business and even with the wife's appro-
val.
The moment girl relaxes her ideals in
regard to these matters she endangers
her reputation. 1t is useless for her to
talk about the cruelty of the world, which
will not allow woman to enjoy a pla-
tonic friendship. The world no doubt.
is cruel and suspicious often, but platonic
friendships are rare game, and the young
woman who goes seeking them through
marital forests is frequently accused OF
poaching.
The man who Is happily married and is
good husband does not go about seek
ing the society of professional young
women.
The married man who wants to dine
and drive with single woman, no mat
ter what his excuse may be, is the one
she needs to be on her guard against.
He is always selfish in his motives.
Were he not he would not subject her to
the misconstruction which such actions

never be more than 90 or 95 degrees.
There is much diversity Of opinion as
to whether a bath should be taken at
night or in the morning, which question
I think is best decided by the individual.
It is often claimed that warm bath
taken at night will soothe the nerves and
known many persons to whom it was an
impossibility, making them restless and
wide awake.
The bath taken before going to bed is
desirable for one reason: That is, that 1t

the skin.
Take care not TO take cold after a
warm bath. Envelop the body in huge
Turkish towel and with 1t rub the body
briskly, dealing more gently with the
neck and face. If you can follow your
bath with a glass Of warm milk and a
little trip TO sunderland so much the
better There is nothing more restful.
A little salt thrown into the bath is a
pleasant tonic when one is worn out or
weary. A little cornstarch in the water
will sometimes whiten the skin. Turkish

1 am sure, a tender spot In the heart for
the little newsboys, many of them mere
babies who should be rocked TO sleep in
their mothers arms instead of braving
cold and heat to help keep the family pot
boiling.
But it does seem a great pity that so
many of these boys seek to add to the
receipts of their legitimate business by
street begging. When a tiny newSboy
says, Won't you please give poor boy
a penny lady?" 1t is hard to refuse, yet
if we grant the request is 1t not encourag-
ing the child to become a tramp and a
dead beat?
The moment a boy or man gets the idea
in his head of obtaining something for
nothing he is lowering his moral nature
and dwarfing his spirit of independence.
1t strikes me there is a large field here
for Sunday-school teachers, teachers of
kindergartens and primary schools all
over the city. Every boy and girl should
have the truth drilled into their young
minds that all money transactions must

this way for the rising generation than

who keeps his mind on selling his papers

Savannah, Oct 2O-The feature of the
week was the movement i'm the price of
spirits turpentine, which went up Wedues-
day to 5O12 cents, then dropped gradually
being quoted at the close to-day at 4912
cents. Whether the price will hold at this
for any time is not known. but from the
general bidding of 40 cents by buyers, it
is the impression in some quarters that
there may be a further yielding before the
market settles down. The drop is attrib-
uted in a measure to the increase in re
ceips due mainly TO The high waters in
rivers that run through the producing dis
tricts.
Rosin advanced on some grades, and par
ticularly lows, which showed more strength
than they did during the previous week.
All grades were in good demand at the
advance, and the current opinion was that
the market was firm at quotations. Trans
actions were fairly good.
The cotton market did not undergo many
changes. There was an advance of lilo
cent during the early part of the week.
Later the low grades were marked down
for the purpose Of adjusting them to the
continental market Ordinary was mark
ed nominal. In the wholesale branches
trade has been satisfactory all along to
most merchants. The produce commission
merchants did good business, but the
weather at present is decidedly unfavora-

stock to go at times at low prices. The
approach of cool weather will bring about
a revival in this line. The following re-
sumo of the different markets will show

lowing firm cables and buying for foreign
account. But fears that the weekly sta

investors to unload the latter months, with
the result that those months Went off

few moments the market became unset
tied and broke nervously under general
selling pressure. As the returns came In
from the interior points and the parts, it
was seen that the movement of the crop
