DID MRS. STANTON succEEpp


 An article headed "A Good Woman" In yesterdays Advertiser, referring to Elizabeth Cady Stanton, contained some statements that have not the ring of Its usual accuracy. "She talked and wrote and lectured always on the same line" She closed her earthly career engaged in the work which consumed her days" Her failure was predestined in the very nature of things.' These are some as- sertions which her recent book Eighty Years and More," will show to be little too wide of the mark. The abolition of slavery was her first great thought and in that work she put some of the early and best years of her life Her uncle Jerret Smith of Peterboro, N. r., man of wealth and position. was one of the chief abolitionists of his time. His house was one of the stations of the underground railroad, and many a lazy runaway Southern darkey has told his tale of woe in the presence of this household in which Elizabeth Cady was long a resident. Such blood and thunder narrations caught the quick sympathies of this gifted and brilliant girl and she put in her best energies to abolish the institution of slavery and on that line" which had nothing to do with woman suffrage. she lived to see her labors successful.
 She gave some of her best thoughts to the practical question of how to raise children and seven grew and prospered fill ing places of honor and usefulness. She had never the sorrow to lose child. She considered motherhood the most inn- portant of all the rofessions-requiring more knowledge than any other depart ment of human affairs She argued that If we buy a plant of a horticultur1st, we ask him many questions as to its needs hack ip GttnG in shade whether it needs much or little water, what degree of heat or cold; but when we hold in our arms for the hrst time a being of infinite possibilities In whose wisdom may rest the destiny or nations, we take 1t for granted that the laws governing it's life, health and nap piness are intuitively understood ana that there is nothing new to be learned In re- gard to 1t. She said child raising IS science to which philosophers have. until now, given too little attention. She gave her attention and earnest study 10 the wants of seven and raised them all arotber line in which she was successful
 Very naturally a woman with the gifts of Mrs. Stanton should advocate the doctrine that she was as good as any other man or weamn, and merited equal consideration and respect There IS no douht that she has been the most ardent and valuable exponent of the woman sut- frage question and the higher educauon of women, but she lived to see so mucn accomplished that she felt comforted tnat in the very nature of things success is well nigh assured. ,.,.,

As he sat down his attention was at tracted by a man at the next table who was reading a newspaper and eating a dish of olives. When three or four had disappeared the newcomer turned to the waiter and said: Whats them he's eat ing?" "Olives, sir. Bring me two dozen.". When they came the Irishman slapped two of them in his mouth and began to chew. Suddenly he spat them out, stones and all. He looked at the man who was calmly eating away. Then he went over, touched him on the shoul- der, and said: Excuse me, sir, but do you like them things?" "Yes, sir"

The Delta Sigma Phi Sorority of the Girls High School, entertained Friday night at Halloween party in compliment to themselves. The party met with Miss Margaret Browne at the home of her uncle and aunt, MT. and Mrs. J. M. de Cottes.
 The flowers used for decoration were chry ysanthemums. The lower floor was thrown together, and lighted only by the spectral grins of pumpkin jack-o'-lan- terms. The evening was spent in various amusements of the ideal Halloween order.
 The maids in their search for what the future held. in store for them bobbed for apples floating in pan of water at- tempted to snatch a bite from a swinging apple and each looked in the mirror in a darkened room to see over her should CT the face of her future husband.
 Excited shrieks in several instances were significant of the handsome appa- rition which appeared.
 Fortunes were told by member skilled in the art and when the lights of the jack-o lanterns fickered and went out the party huddled together in the total darkness and told ghost stories of the most narrowing nature.
 Dancing and refreshments which they served to themselves, completed the even ing's amusements.
 Those present were: Misses Marie Alexander. Mildred Jones, Frankie Jones, Lucia Richardson, Lucille Lahey, Jennie Sistrunk, Susie May, Bessie Burke, Jennie Hurter, Mary Knowles, Mamie Rudolph, Marjorie Sayre. Jean Lahey, Frances stakely, Eleanor Offutt. Ella Hargrove

 Continuing her letter on London and the Americans she met there. Mrs. Mar tha S. Glelow, formerly of Greenville, Ala, now of New York, writes as fol- lows:
 "I love London. love the life there, the gardens, the parks. the old omni- buses and all. Yesterday I went over to visit Mrs. Percy Donovan, the beauti- ful wife of the Vicar of Gunnersbury. (She is Countess Marie Vicenta de Riva). The Vicarage is typically an English home. covered with ivy and surrounded by most charming gardens. where we sat all day and had tea in the afternoons. Those who have not visited the English country homes. nor seen the English gar- dens can hardly comprehend their beau- ty and luxurious restfulness. Of course. the Kings illness made a great change in every way. It broke up all entertain ing and even after his convalescence only one or two of the coronation entertain ments to the royal family toog place. Mrs. Leopold de Rothschild gave her gar- den party on July 11th at Gunnersbury Park one of her beautiful country homes, to H. R. H. Princess Louise, Duchess of Argyll The Bishop of London succeeded also in giving both his garden fetes at Fulhom Palace to H. R. H. Princess of Wales. The weather was fine on all three occasions and the splendor of the dresses. the music and refreshments were gorgeous, such as are seen no where else except in England. They made a big fuss over the royalty, and the bands played God Save the King when they arrived, and there was always a fiutter of ex- citement. The members of the royal family are always most gracious and cordial. They never make you feel that they think themselves better than you are. It takes the rich parvenu for that. and those unaccustomed to position. I had been to garden parties at Gunners- bury Park and Putnam Palace when vis- iting England before. and 1t seemed very delightful to enjoy it once again.

INCENTIVE TO EFFORT.
The Lesson LincOIn's Life Teaches to
the Idle Born.

! 1t is human nature to take it easy
when we can, and with most people &
big bank account will paralyze effort
and destroy ambition. Who can tel
what would have been the effect OIL
our national history had Abraham Lin
coin been born in luxury, surrounded
/ with great libraries, free to the multi
| form advantages of schools, colleges
and universities, the manifold oppor-
| tunitics for culture that wealth be
slows? Who shall say whether the alb
sence of all incentive to effort might
not have smothered such a genius?
What wealthy, city bred youth of to-
day, gIutted with opportunities for ac-
curing knowledge, can feel that hun
ger for books, that thirst for knowledge
that spurred Lincoln to scour the will
derness for many miles to borrow the
coveted Life Of Washington" which
he had heard that some one in the
neighborhood owned?
What young lawyer of our day goes
to law school or library with such a
keen appetite, with such a yearning for
legal knowledge, as this youth had
when he actually walked forty-four
miles to borrow Blackstone's "COmmen-

Where is the student in college or
university today who experiences that
satisfaction, that sense of conquest,
which thrilled Lincoln while lying on
the floor of his log cabin working out
arithmetical problems on a wooden
shovel by the light of a wood fire or
enthusiastically deyouring the contents
of a borrowed book, as if his eyes
would never rest on its pages again?
On reading Lincolns Gettysburg
speech and his second inaugural adj
dress foreign readers exclaimed,
whence got this man his style seeing
he knows nothing of literature?" Well
might they exclaim, but their aston
ishment would have been still greater
had they known that those eloquent

LAY UP YOUR TREASURES.
No Man Should Spend the Whole of
His Income.

No Man Should Spend the Whole of
His Income.
Is any one too poor to save? is an inn
| pOrtant problem which the readers of
London daily are at present attempt
ing to solve. The question is not by
any means a new one. 1t is one which
has troubled past generations, just as,
in all probability, it will affect the gen
erations yet to come. We cannot say
that this latest discussion of the sub
| ject is throwing much if any, fresh
light upon it.
In the first place, there is diversity
of opinion regarding the term poor"
One man, who derives an income of
| 81, $50 a year from private property,
| fancies he comes under the category,
while another does not consider any
one poor who has an income of $500 q
year, says a writer in Leslies Weekly.
1t is manifestly impossible to fix any
limit in matter like this. Very much
depends upon the locality and the con-
ditions and surroundings of the indi-
vidual. An income that would be
amply sufficient to insure a family q
! comfortable home, excellent social adj
yantages and good living in a coun-
try village would mean many priva-
tions and sore discomforts in any large
city.
On the whole, however we are in
clined to believe that Max O'Rells
views on the point under discussion
come nearer the safe and common
sense rule than anything we have seen.
Il do not care" he says, chow small
the income of man is, he should never
spend the whole of it, especially if he
has wife and children. He should
at least save enough to pay every year
the premium on good life policy. No
man is worthy of the name who does
not do this, at least, at the price Of
whatever privations he has to submit
to. Some pleasure may be derived
from high living, but certainly no hap
piness."

The engagement was a great secret
until one of Mr.. Dooleys friends dis
covered that he had hired a house in
Fifth avenue, New York. Then the
story came out. 1t turns out to be a
real romance: Miss Margaret Abbott,
the bride elect, was Mr.. Dooley's boy
hood sweetheart. She is living in New
York with her mother now, but the
beginning of the romance was when
she was a young girl in Chicago. Since
that time she has become a clever and
successful artist and Mr.. Dooley has
become a famous writer.
Miss Abbott is the daughter of Mrs.
Mary Abbott, a widow, and she made
her home for several years in Paris.
There she was well known in literary
and artistic circles, and a few months
ago Miss Abbott won a prize in the
woman's handicap game at the inter-
national golf match there.
Miss Abbott is tall and graceful.
Her complexion is brilliant and her
hair ash blond. Her picture appeared
not long ago in a magazine as a type
of 'an American beauty"
