Well. Women.

The best bred women do not
fuss. They take their gowns
and their furniture, their Jewels
and their children as a matter
of course. They are unconsi.
Gus Of their wells md their
gloves, and they expect every
one else to be equally so. If
they see an intimate wearing
handsome gown they refer to
it admiringly, but they also
preface their comment with an
apology. Their differences
with their husbands are not
aired, neither are the domestic
upheavals caused by the deser.
tion of the cook on wash morn
ing. The repose of the we'll.
bred woman is not the quiet of
weakness. Il is the calm of
trained faculties, balanced so
nicely that an earthquake may
cause change of color but will
not bring forth loud cry. Well.
bred women are a boon to the
human race They help the
social and professional world
to maintain a high standard
both of morals and behavior

S THE IMITATOR &c
ANONYMOUS NOVEL

This novel ran its course serlally in the Mirror
during the summer months of 1901, attracting
much attention because of the supreme clever
ness of Its style.
Thenovel is a very biting satire upon some
of the folles of swell society literary pretenders
and theatrical celebrities.
Certain of its characrers have been identified
by those familiar with the Four Hundred. with
contemporary letters and the drama as being
mercilessly drawn after originals in the field
mentioned. Some affect TO believe that the
author has X-rayed in his book the character
of the peculiar Harry Lehr, of the sfable diSte

FOOTBALL MERGER.
Washburn and Medic Teams
May Unite.

A merger of the Washburn and Medic
football teams into the first and second
Washburn teams is likely to take place
this week. The first team. will take care
of the big games on the Washburn and
Medic schedules, and the second team will
handle the lighter contests.
A meeting of the head men on the two
teams was held last night for the purpose
of discussing the question. Coach Hughes
and Captain Lakin of the Medics and
Captain MehI and Manager Mills of Wash
burn are all in favor of the consolidation
in some manner and there is little doubt
that it will be carried ont
Captain Lakin of the Medics will prob
ably be made captain of the first Wash
burn team, and the best material in both
teams will be selected for the players.
Whenever the second team has game on
its hands it will be strengthened from
the first team as far possible Hugh
Mcfarland may be made manager of the
consolidated teams.

probably no complaint upon which the
public is so little informed as hemor-

about their nature, cause and cure; it
treats of the different forms of blind,
