Perhaps 1t is due to having the CON
venient telephone at hand that the
fashion of impromptu invitations to
suddenly arranged entertainments
have come into prominence in the So
cial world. AT any rate. the long-dis-
lance telephone and the short-range in
vitation 90 h~and-in-hand this season.
For one thing. one has the comfort of
knowing what weather one is likely
to have. says the Baltimore Herald. II
suddenly. one feels in the humor Of
taking a sail or a drive. with a supper
party at the other end. one can call
up sociable companions on the ever
ready wire messenger.
There is a great deal of pleasure to
be had in these impromptu invitations
and those who do not care to accept
have the natural excuse handy of a
previous engagement. In truth, it is
not always easy to decline a party
made up some days or some weeks
ahead. No excuse is at hand, especial
ly in summer time. But the i'm
promptu party and the telephoned in
vitation at the last moment seem to
satisfy every one in summer.
We have not yet reached the atti-
tude Of the London society woman who
sends out her invitations this summer
by telegraph. But we are travelling in
the same direction with our telephon
ed invitations.

New Use for Microbes.

If plans are carried out as suggested
by Prof. J. e. Long, chemist for the
Illinois state board of health, the
much-maligned microbe is to be put
at work as a scavenger in the drainage
canal. Recommendations to that eff
feet are embodied in Prof. Longs re-
port on the chemical condition Of the
Illinois river published by the state
board Of health. The suggestion is
based on the theory that the presence
OF certain bacteria set up a chemical
decomposition that rapidly destroys
and renders innocuous the sewage
emptied into a stream. In the report
It is claimed that the addition OF pure
cultures of the germs to the water at
the proper time and place will eifectu-
ally solve the problem Of purifying the
drainage canal Of Chicago's sewage.

Doc. ELECTRICITY KIN rree,2

New Haven (Conn.l Special to Phil
adelphia Inquirer: Indignant citizens
who desire to save the noble elms that
are the pride of New Haven have
threatened to bring suit against the
trolley car companies Of the city for
alleged damages to the trees. The as
sertion is made that the trolley wires
charged with electricity are in some
streets held in place by connecting
wires fastened to the trees. and that
charges of electric fluid are sent into
the trees, which are thus killed. The
trolley companies have sought to stave
off damage suits by an offer to test
the scientific correctness of these as
sertions. Permission has been obtained
from the department Of public works
and police supervision assured for the
interesting experiment within the
week Of charging the big tree in front
Of City Hall with the full voltage of
the trolley system. If the tree dies
a score of suits will be filed by prop
erty owners, who have been compelled
to cut down trees. some Of them $50
years old since the trolley ran through

woman's Humor Row Recognized.
At last the world at large is begin
ming to realize that woman is not de-
void Of a sense of humor. Verify, the
world moves! A century ago the man
who suggested that lovely woman
know humor from science would have
been mobbed. Fifty years age he
would have been considered a humor-
list himself. Today everybody save the
man who has told a mother-in-law
story at the luncheon of a woman's
club agrees that woman has a sense Of
humor. II may be that a woman's
ideas of humor are not those Of a man,
but the idea of humor among different
classes Of men also varies. Who shall
arrogate to himself the only perfect
sense of humor?
OF course. there are still masculine
sceptics. One unpleasant male person
recently said that while woman assur-
eddy had a sense of humor, she could
laugh only at the joke which had direct
bearing on some one else. while man
could appreciate the one which was dis
tinctly personal, says the Philadelphia
North American. The listener calmly
informed him that she had not only
known intensely homely who
not only enjoyed. but repeated jokes
which had bearing on their own per-
sonal appearances; but she had even
enjoyed the confidence Of a woman
who appreciated the joke when a sup
posed admirer turned out to be the
lover Of another woman. Could he
produce a man who was possessed Of a
keener sense of humor under adverse
circumstances? He admitted that he
could not.

The flowers which deco. ate the table
are now arranged in an entirely new
fashion. Tall, slender Bohemian glass
vases are used, They are extremely
effective in shaded green and pink.
Two Of these vases are placed at either

filled with long-stemmed pink rose
buds or pink tulips. To complete this
arrangement, in the center Of the table
is a low |iardiniere of pink Bohemian

Present-Day Footwear Distorts the Ez
tremities Abominably.

-Prosent-Day Footwear DistOrts the tx
tremities Abominably.
A man who denies that he is pre-
JUDGED, but claims that he is a good
judge Of feminine beauty, declares
that there is scarcely a beautiful foot
to be found among the women of to-
day. The high heels, the exaggerated
curve at the ball Of the foot. the stiff
heel stays and the pointed toes, he de-
clares, have distorted the foot in a
painful and ugly manner. The ankles
are misshapen. In some cases the
bones are enlarged until they bulge
out so that every bone is %perceptible.
The weight of the body thrown upon
the toes has caused them to spread
out. Crowded into pointed toes, they
stick up in clusters of knotty corns.
The foot should be as shapely as the
hand. Footwear should fit as a glove
fits the hand. The perfect foot is
slender, with an arched instep and toes
that lie smoothly and easily. The first
step toward acquiring a pretty foot is
to wear shoes that fit it comfortably.
The next is to take exercises that will
render the toes strong and supple. Be
gin by spreading out the toes to the
utmost extent; then hold -four toes still
and attempt to move the remaining
one, Every toe should be s%traighter
and shorter than the next one and the
arch should be shapely and plant. The
feminine foot of today renders a grace
full carriage an impossibility. And all
because Dame Fashion has decreed
that a short, high-heeled, p%ointed-toe
shoe is the correct thing in dressy
footgear, forgetting that there never
was a human foot built that way.
