many women are clever with their

Sophocles is large white cat, with
caressing manners and a benign coun-
tenance. Other cats may be as af-
fable and as white, but no other cat re-
joices in the green left eye and yellow
right eye.
Mrs. Ellen Brown Fencer is president
Of federation of women's clubs, sec
rotary of league for political purity
and many other things besides, which
cause her TO be referred to as zone of
our representative women" She is
kind, if somewhat casual. mother to
her children, and she adores Sophocles.
So when one evening Sophocles failed
to return from his customary stroll
there was grief in the house of Fencer,
grief untrammeled by parliamentary
methods. George Fencer sped to the
nearest grocery store. and affixed a no
tice, with a description of the missing
cat. Grace offered reward of So for
his return in the lost" columns of
the morning papers. Mrs. Ellen Brown
Fencer, after a night of fruitless vigil,

This lady for the sum of $19, glad
dened the heart of Mrs. Fencer by as
surfing her while in a state of trance
that Sophocles would be returned by
red-haired boy with freckles.
For two days the FencerS' door bell
was busy. and white cats in every
shade of dingines were offered for rec
ignition or adoption. Grace and George
examined them conscientiously, but
Mrs. Fencer declined to look at them.
On the third day appeared a disrepu-
table fragment of cathood, snarling and
splitting in the arms of red-haired boy
with freckles. 1t had the air of hay-
ing been worsted in a hundred street
fights. Great patches of fur had been
torn off its back. Its ears were claw

and George were about to repudiate
it when Mrs. Ellen Brown Fencer, after
one glance at the boys carroty locks
and freckled countenance, seized the
disabled warrior from his arms and
welcomed it as the long lost Sophocles.
Grace and George were loath to be-
stow the promised reward upon the
boy. They pointed out to their mother
the fact that the eye which remained
opened should have been green, where
as 1t was yellow. They said that this
cats disposition in no way resembled
Sophocles' and that they had heard of

ARE NOT EXTRAVAGANT
WOMEN DO NOT SPEND AS MUCH
AS MEN THINK
A Saving Woman Can Use Money in
Buying to Better Advantage Than a
Man can-Women Save the Pennies
and Scent Pieces.

1t has passed into sort of axiom
that women are the extravagant ones
of the world, and that when a man
comes to any sort of financial smash
a woman is at the bottom of it. This
many women deny, and they are not
without their reasons for claiming that
in some families the wife and mother
is the saving and economical member
There are, of course. too, many in
stances where women spend money
recklessly and plunge man into debt
but there are more cases where men
are responsible for their own downfall
in business.
Men have been heard to say often
and often that it was the wise judg-
ment of their wives and their ability to
save which has given them their start
and enabled them to make fortunes
In the practical details of every day
living, when a woman is wise, she can
do twice as we'll with her money for
the household as her husband can.
When man starts out to buy a
thing for the house or for his wife. he
goes to the most expensive place, looks
only at the best, never questions the
price and pays it. What would his wife
do? She would go about from shop to
shop, price the article she wanted, com
pare the cost, discuss the matter, and
go nome and think it over before pur-
chasing Sometimes she haggles over
the price and beats Ii down a little, but
ten to one she will not pay the first
price asked. OF course this is not done
by every woman, but the professional
shopper has little ways which most
men know nothing about.
Almost every woman knows that If
she wants something very nice she will
be more lkley to- get 1t if she sends
her husband for 1t than If she goes
herself. Men, as a rule, don't buy
cheap things: even men of moderate
means. They hate shopping, or used
to. and like to be through it quickly.
There are many of the incest men in
the country who have no financial
sense; and the more intellectual and
clever in some ways they are, the less
they seem to know about the value of
money. Indeed every genius needs a
manager. And when a bright. smart
woman marrles a clever man who
makes much money, but doesn't know
how to keep il, she saves for him and
manages for him, and he leans unon
her judgment. We will venture to saw

The morning street dress is severely
plain and the material chosen is usu-
ally cheviot tweed, hopsacking or one
of the popular Scotch suitings, as all Of
these are especially intended for the
hard wear that falls to such a cos
tune. Be the weather stormy or fair
this suit is donned for the morning visit
to the market or the shopping district,
and, as may be seen, is sufficiently
short to escape the ground, doing away
with the necessity and fatigue of hold
ing it up.
The one illustrated is in the Scotch
heather mixture fecked with black and
occasionally a dash of red, lined
throughout with tan taffeta. The skirt
is in nine cores haring below knee and
has inverted plait back. The coat is
three-quarter length with fitted back
having no seam at center; as the line
given by the long French seams is so
much more becoming to most figures
The fronts are single breasted, also
having the long seam, and fasten with
fly. Tan bone buttons trim the coat
sleeves.

A MUSICAL TREAT
Schubert Club Observes Presidents
Day With Special Programme.

1t is one of the delightful customs Of
the Schubert club to keep the musical
treat that is offered on presidents
day something of secret, so that a
touch of surprise is given to an event
that is always a, pleasure to club MEM
bers.
The annual reception held yester-
DAY afternoon at the home of the pres
ldent, Mrs. Briggs, on Summit avenue,
was largely attended, and the musical
treat proved more than everla treat.
MISS Evelyn Thelen, soprano, FORM
erly OF Milwaukee; and Mrs. Frank
Ward, centralto, were the soioists, and
their singing gave unqualified pleasure
TO the club members. Miss Thelen,
VINO appears to possess the gift of I'M
self consciousness, as well as an ex-
ceIlent voice finely cultivated con-
vlnced those who heard her that the
combination is especially valuable in
craving room singing, where the au-
oltors are close enough to distract. In
the dramatic aria.swhich she sang OPP
portunity was givensfer to display the
strength, the flexibi1fty and the sure
ness of tone that appear to be the
most striking CHARACTERISTICS OF her
voice; and the Schubert song afforded
further proof, if any were needed, that
this young singers voice is an unusu-
companist 3 re- s7sa5-
The bits of song That Mrs, Ward sang
gave those who heard her an idea of
the quality of her voice only, The
quality is excellent,s and those who
heard her sing yesterday We're preb-
ably united in the wish that they might
hear this singer-in4.s songs that would
more fully reveal the capabilities of her
voice. The simplicity with which she
sang the bits of song yesterday was
the artistic fitness of things.

ABOUTPEOPLE And THINGS

When Mr.. and Mrs. William Fitzhugh
Whitehouse return to England the air
will clear there. The feud between
this family and Williams brother, Cope
WhitehouSe, has added strained note
to many Newport parties. When the
F'itZhugh Whitehouses opened East
bourne Lodge the old quarrel was re-
neWed. The brothers, who look strik-
ingly alike, would pass one another
three times a day without a nod of
recognition. Many of the newcomers
didn't know of the Whitehouse rela-
tons, and embarrassing situations
arose constantly. 1t is said Fitzhugh
will return to England with much
pleasure, for he did not take kindly to
Newport. In England he and his wife
are prominent in the Anglo American
set, and the marriage of their daughter
to the Baron de Ramsey this spring
was brilliant affair. 1t is supposed
usually that Fitzhugh and Cope are
related to the New York Whitehouses,
but in reality the brothers came to
New York from Chicago in the seven
ties.
A wave of Anglomania is sweeping
over Rome The queen and king of
Italy are adopting British customs and
manners. Many Of the old court resent
the passing of traditions, but Queen
Helena has installed English servants
and tutors in the royal household. The
Italian nobility has taken the cue, and
English governesses find no trouble in
getting situations in Rome. Many fash
ionable women are taking English les
SONS, and every one who claims posi-
ton in the Quirinal set serves after
noon tea. This craze for all things
English promises to be more pro-
nounced after the italian royal couple
have visited the king and queen Of
England in Windsor. This visit Is
slated for November.
1.-The men particularly are bitten by
the English microbe," said woman
who passed last winter in Italy. THE
men of fashion in Rome follow certain
leaders like a flock of sheep, and it is
hard to find individuality among the
Italian noblemen. They loll in their
clubs after the English fashion and

among the men, and on the Campagna
the polo games bring together the
fashionable folk as nothing else will
The queen of Italy drives in her car
riage of state to the polo field and
holds informal court on the side lines.
On some estates in the south of Italy
golf links have been laid out and it is
not unusual to see the Italian mobiles
in plaids and pink coats. Britishers
are received into the heart of the
Quirinal set, and it is a godsend to
younger sons of England. They can
live with their families in Italy for
about half as much as in London. But

charm after winter or two"

OF course with this kind of a gown
plain tailor made shirtwaists or
either cheviot some mercerized cotton
material or light weight flannel are
worn. The former are most in vogue
and always give the smart appearance

compared with horses and cattle
they possess peculiar advantages, as
they are immune against the very dan

also against the deathly tsetse fly. The
zebrula, on account OF its form and
general bodily condition, especially the
hardness of the hoofs. is specially
adapted for all the transport work
heretofore performed by mules. The
zebrula is much livelier than the mule
and at least as intelligent.

animal is manifested. The well known

Indian woman Seeks Divorce

Two descendants of the savage 1ro-
quois, living on the Tonawanda Indian
reservation, near Buffalo, have gone to
law, the stake being an absolute di-
vorce. The Indian wife is the plaintiff,
but the copper colored husband makes
counter charges in kind. The case has
aroused much interest in the neighbor-
hood, as it is said to be the first divorce
action ever begun by Indians. About
twenty years ago the Poodrys were
united In marriage according to the
custom of the Indians, and on May 20,
