Mrs. Perry B9lnl4nt, who holds the
record for the Quickest divorce and re-
marriage in New, Yerk-Which is quite
a feat in itSelf-has good reason to
smile and look happy at present.
When Mrs. Belmont was Mrs. Sloane
she was a society woman and mingled
with the great fami1arly, but after she
made a lightning change from Sloane
to Belmont in one day society did not
know whether to laugh or cry. Mrs.
Belmont still went out and about, but
society wished that she had allowed
the ink to dry on her divorce decree
before she again entered the holy bonds
of matrimony But now has come Mrs.
Belmont's triumph, for this summer
she is visiting in London and her Sue
cess in the best set is phenomenal.
She has attained the dizzy height Of
being entertained by the Rothschilds.
and going into dinner on the arm of
the Duke of Connaught, the kings
brother. She has also been to the
Countess of WarWick's ball, where but
few Americans can go. When Mrs.
Belmont returns to New York and the
story of her triumph becomes thor
oughly known, she can afford to make
her own terms. The English probably
see nothing in the career of Mrs. Bel
mont except an instance Of American
haste.
There are times when insanity is a
blessing in disguise. One incident of
this was recently given in New York
when a Mrs. Riehman was declared
insane when she stole a diamond and
pearl necklace valued at $1,000 from
Mrs. Delabarre. This embarrassing af-
fair happened last year at a summer
resort, and instead of being locked up
Mrs. Richman was examined for in
co itXy nd 70 itr1r MTs
Richman and his wife were persons Of
means, and when a woman of means
steals something she is adjudged in
sane and the prosecution dropped. But
had~the woman who did the deed been
poor she would have had a rapid ride
IN the patrol wagon and spent some
years in Jail. Whether you are a KEEP
tomaniac or a thief depends upon

~. Dr. Macdonald, who has been the
criminologist of the united States de-
partment of education has stated that
meat and potato eating is inducive of
crime. This is a most alarming state
snaent4 and is liable to make almost the
entire population of these United
States ShiVer in it's shoes. If Dr. Mac
Donald, who undoubtedly means well,
had told US what kind of food conduces
! to.Sxirtue and right living one could
start in right away and obtain a sup
ply Of salvation sustenance, but he
leaves one up in the air, as it were,
with the bald statement Of the GRIM
maj propensities of beefsteak and po-
tatees. 1t is much to be feared that
DR.. Macdonald sin league with the
hay-making companies who are manu-
featuring breakfast foods.

- DQIpdIls sdCCOfa3HS TO "a paper Qe-
voted to sports, is not now played in
the normal manner. There is, says the
paper real game of football, which is
now deftly concealed beneath maneu-
Vers which were not originally part of
the sport at all. It is pleasant news to
hear that there is a rational game of
football, for those who have witnessed
the intercollegiate or university games
were under the impression that it was
merely a street fight in an enclosed
space Now if the paper will go a little
further and tell us what the game is
the. public will be still more under OBJ
legations. NJ
