about her neglect of household affairs,
but she doesn't neglect any duty, COM

so interested in her social affairs that
she fails to get breakfast, at least.

The city council met in special ses-
sion Thursday to discuss the bond
situation. The smallpox situation
was gone over incidentally.
The idea of the council was TO in-
struct the finance committee to float
the bonds at not more than 4! pei
cent, but the committee thought il
would be Impossible to do this, and the
council finally left the matter with
the committee with instructions
to float them at II if they can, and al
5 per cent if necessary. This is the
penalty the city pays for delaying
action on the municipal ownership
question. Had the council taken
hold OF the matter six or eight months
ago, the bonds could undoubtedly
have been floated at a premium at 4
