tons greatest charity, as secretary, treas
urer and surgeon for the greater part OF

his private practice and at the dispensary

marked success. He says Safe Cure cures
kidney disease because it removes the
cause, and writes:

overwhelmingly brilliant in the social way.
There has been no big event. such as the
coronation, with which to star 1t. but at
the same time the fact that the King and
Queen have taken such an active interest
in the accomplishment of certain little
social reforms is noteworthy.
For instance. there is a revival of inter-

PLAN ELABORATE
SOCIAL PROGRAMME
Mrs. Manning and Miss Helen
Gould Will Be Prominent
Hostesses During Fair.
LADY MANAGERS TO LIVE HERE
Women's and Buckingham Climbs
Will Be Scenes of Many Gay
and Smart Receptions
Next Year.

The social side of the Worlds Fair is
to be one of its distinctive features and
the Board of Lady Managers, which has
elected Mrs. Manning as its President,
will be the leading factor in the enter
tainment of notable men and women who
will visit ST. Louis in 1904.
While no definite plans have been made
by the Board of Lady Managers relative
to the social side Of their work, the per-
sonnet of the board offers the best evil
dence of what may be expected next year.
A great deal of entertaining will be done
by Mrs. Manning and Miss Helen Gould.
Mrs. Manning has announced that she
will make her home In ST. Louis during
the Fair and for few months prior to it.
As she announced that she would bring
her servants to st. Louis it is probabl
that Mrs. Manning contemplates securing
a residence in the city. This will enable
her to entertain her guests on the same
magnificent scale that has marked her en-
tertainments during her reign as a social
leader in Washington.
Being woman of national prominence.
with an acquaintance with Washington
notables and foreign dignitaries greater
perhaps than that of any other woman in
the country. 1t will naturally fall to Mrs.
MaNHlIS lOt &c receive many important
personages during the Worlds Fair year.
Mr.. and Mrs. Grover Cleveland have
announced their intention OF visiting the
Fair. and as Mrs. Manning is intimately
acquainted with the former President and
his wife, 1t Is probable that the Cleve-
lands will be feted by the Board of Lady
Managers during their visit in ST. Louis.
The WoElan's Club will be an important
factor in entertaining Worlds Fair guests.
and as Miss Gould is a member OF this
club, as well as the New Buckingham
Club she will probably do her entertain
ing at those places.
Miss Gould has announced that she will
be in st. Louis during May. so that some
noteworthy functions may be expected at
the beginning Of the great Exposition
Miss Lavinia Fgan Of Shreveport, La,
the new secretary of the board, will make
her home in st. Louis during the Fair,
and several other members contemplate
doing the same. All the members Of the
board will spend a great d,al OF time In
St. Louis during the Exposition, while
not a few contemcilte renting houses in
order that they may be GRABBED to enter
tain on an elaborate scale.
The temporary home of Mrs. Manning,
the Woman's Club. which will be the
headquarters for mott CT the prominent
women attending the Fair. and the Buck
ingham Club. which will be the abode of
Miss Gould during her sojourn in ST.
Louis. will be the three places where the
Worlds Fairs social side will be most
deliberately displayed, and where proba-
bly,, the gayest and smartest receptions
will take place.
