WAR IS PREDICTED.
Trouble Between Russia and Turkey
in tho Spring Probable.

st. Petersburg. Feb. %, via Eydtku.
linen, German Frontier, March q
Some publicists are of the opinion that
only the sternest language towards
Turkey can prevent a war between
Russia and Turkey in the spring
They believe that Turkey will pursue
bands of Macedonian revolrtionarics
across the Bulgarian frontier and that
public opinion will compel Russia to
interfere.
The Russians thoroughly understand
that war with Turkey will be a more
severe one than that of 1878. Officers
are quoted as saying that the Turkish
army is the best in the world owing
to its German organization and arma-
ment. There is an inclination here to
| anticipate German financial support Of
Turkey, and. in the view of the situa-
ton forebodings of clash with Tur-
key are freely expressed in private. al
though they are carefully suppressed
in the newspapers.

WHEN THREE ARE COMPANY.

They were on the trolley car, says
the New York Sun, which kicks up the
dust between Fort Lee and somewhere,
these two. They were women-young
women of the delightful if uncertain
period when women tell each other of
everything new or novel that either has
| seen or experienced.
The young woman who used her fan
with as many motions as an orchestra
director makes with his baton was
speaking. She said:
II was in New York a whole week.
One of my acquaintance left me to
decide which it should be, sail, an
automobile ride or an evening on the
roof garden.
ST had been wondering if 1 should
ever have an automobile experience,
and, of course, chose that. OF course,
it meant an extra outlay, for my aunt
told me of several things which a
woman must wear when noting.
1.-THE novelty of seeing your young
man drive up in front of the house in a
buggy became shopworn and fiy-speck-
ed long ago. Still girl never gets too
old to remember with a sort of pal
nitation of the heart her first buggy
ride-do you think?

the New York man steered his motor
before my aunt's door. / was all made
up for the moment. Then my aunt
rushed into my room and said:
He has come.
IT waited to hear the ring of the bell,
| but it never rang. No. Then had
that feeling of falling out of window.
1 looked at my aunt and she said:
Hurry up, he's sounded
Hes what? I asked. Why doesn't
he ring? Why doesn't the girl let him
inn 1 added.
"And my aunt replied: Young men
who come in automobiles for young la
dies do not ring. 1t is not good form.
| They toot the horn, and that means
for you to come on. Unless the young
man has a chauffeur he doesn't leave
his machine He sounds the horn
THAT was new to me. 1 wonder If
this is done by all who have no chauf-
feurs.

the young man helped me in. 1t was
one of those motors built for two-a
man and a woman.
Away we went across to the park,
around the park. down Fifth avenue.
back again and over to Riverside Drive
and up to Grants Tomb and home
again. Sometimes the motor fluttered,
sometimes it. baked. sometimes 1t sput-
tered-puff. puff, puff.
"All this time he never took off his
! beastly goggles. 1 don't think he ever
looked at me to see what had on. He
had to keep both hands. or, at least, he
did, on the steering apparatus-I don't
know the technical name of it.
ut he did use one hand he used the
other on the bulb that sounded the horn.
He just looked ahead of him all the
time.
when I go noting again I shall
hope that there will be chauffeur.

But it has been so long since she
was young that she didn't understand.

peculiarly feminine, the temptations of
the flesh peculiarly masculine, and the
devil tars us all with the big, black
human streaks of selfishness.
Millionaires and subway men have
one point in common. Their chief
topics of conversation are money and
women.
have accepted women as wives and
mothers and been bored by them as
companions. Nowadays some women
are getting into the same class. A
husband is a convenient person to pay
the bills, but rather a bore otherwise.
Scientists credit the development of
the human brain to "the opposition
of the thumb" that is, to mans use
of tools. That would explain why
woman's development Jagged so far
behind. She used only the cook stove
and the needle.
The masculine sense of humor has
not yet detected anything funny in
the proposition for a commission COM
posed entirely of men to frame a uni
form divorce law.
Athletics, grooming and mental &C
tivity are the things which are pro-

York Tribune, to her mother. 'If go

have a much better time than if 1
wear a shabby one. 1t is all nonsense
about being liked for what you really
are" continued the young cynic. "It
is what you appear to be that every
one considers; you must be a credit to

WIVES WHO SELL
THEIR HUSBANDS

An extraordinary barter. says Lon
don Tit-Bits. was some time back eff
fected at Birmingham between two la
dies belonging to the middle class who
were dissatisfied with their draw in
the matrimonial lottery. They ex-
changed their husbands; but one of the
women, who hailed from Scotland, in
sisted on receiving an additional bonus
of ego, on the ground that her husband,
being of much slighter build than her
friends mate, would cost considerably
less to keep. After much haggling the
bargain was struck, to the passive sat
isfaction of the husbands, who evident
ly considered that any change would
be for the better.
A Liverpudlian on his death left his
hosiery to his widow. Unable by her
own exertions to carry on the business
satisfactorily, she cast about for hus-
