MY attitude is that of apology for
the American society woman. not a con-
demnation," said Mrs. NJ E. w. Sher-
wood to an Evening World reporter
when asked for her opinion OF the
numerous recent attacks on the women
oil society.
Seated in state, in her throne" chair
as II is called by her fellow patrons of
the Hotel Majestic, Mrs. Sherwood dis
cussed at length the status OF the
| American society woman.
Although illness has impaired the
health OF this clever lecturer. reader
and author. her remarkable vitality has
enabled her to continue actively the dis
cusslon of questions of literature. soci-
ology and philanthropy.
Using an alpine STAN, surmounted
by a chamois foot and adorned always
with a huge bunch OF vlolets. tied with
purple ribbons, Mrs. Sherwood every
evening is assisted to her throne

dinner.

"I would not like to be quoted as

but to one who has lived through this

| the leaders, the change Is alarmingly
apparent.
THE trouble with the present society
is not degeneracy or vice, 1t is ignor-
ance. The leaders OF society to-day are
women who have not been educated to
their positions.
I'm the days when Mrs, John Jacob
Astor. Mrs. Belmont, Mrs. Hamilton
Fish were New York's firSt leaders OF
society there was a substantial refine

Hospital on Sunday from what an au-

that the girl did no, commit suicide.
but was murdered and he intends to
make an exhaustive investigation into
the circumstances surrounding her death.
Evidence Was Scarce.
The dead girl came to this city from
Philadelphia. She was stenographer
and lived with the family OF James Mo-
nair. at No. 3o5 West Torty-second
street. From the scant evidence that
could be obtained at the time she was
taken to the hospital 1t was believed
that she had endcavored to end her life
by drinking the poison.
The letter that has been sent to the
Coroner not only states that the Young
girl was murdered, but that she is the
daughter Of one OF the wealthiest FAM
illes in Pennsylvania. The letter states
positively that her name Is not Florence

would not give out any names as that

city.
The Coroner expects the testimony
that he will adduce at his inquest to be
OF sensational nature, proving that the
girl was poisoned. He intimated that
warrant for the arrest of some per-
son or persons who were involved In the
mystery might be issued before the In

A COMPARISON
In rloney and Food Value.

Coffee had been used in our family
for years, and we all drank 1t except
husband, who gave II up some years
ago because 1t injured his health"
writes a lady from Granville, Ohio.
Last year we spent the summer In
the Northern woods. Among our ta-
BILE supplies. unknown to my hus-
band, l had taken along several
packages OF Postum Food Coffee. but
It was stored away and forgotten for
weeks. during which time we used
coffee.
"One day my husband said: 7
wish II were possible to get some
Postum. would like to try it. Two
hours later at dinner / served him a
cup. brewed according to the direc-
tions on the package. His surprise
WAS complete; the taste pleased him
and he drank second cup. From
that hour we continued to use Pos
tum with gratifying satisfaction, and
not another cup OF coffee has ever
come to our table.
"My husband found that 1t did not
produce the distress that forced him
IN ranounce coffee and that II
strengthened his nerves and stopped
ali his stomach trouble. lts effect on
me was no less gratifying; though l
had drunk coffee but sparingly. had
entered considerably from 1t. II dis
ordered my nerves and disturbed my
liver. Postum corrected these evils
and proved sedative and most
wholesome food.
1--WE were both interested in the
comparative cost OF coffee and Pos
tum' We had always paid 35 cents r
mound for coffee. A large package OF
Postum costs 25 cents and weighs one
Mound and a quarter. Though we
drank Postum more freely and fire.
nuently than we had coffee, We found
that the large size package OF Pos
tum lasted as long as two pounds OF
coffee. a difference OF As cents In
favor OF Postum. In a year this saw
Inc of money was considerable, and
this fact recommends Postum to all
neople who believe in economy.
"Even a person prejudiced In favor
~ coffee would admit that Postum
nronerly breWed Is as pleasant to the
naIate as the best OF coffee. ! know
that somo people have been dissat-
isAed with Postum because they die
not make 1t properly.
"Another advantage OF Postum that
makes Il vastly superior to coffee for |
sanity use is that II can be given
,raaiy 10 children. being a real food |
and not a stimulant like coffee. II
,,iIl not harm the most delicate |
child nor create a habit which leads
oniy too easily to indulgence In slim
nlants OF a stronger nature.
II believe that II every one knew |
that Postum Is so much cheaper than |
coffee and so much better for ones |
health they would use Il instead o. a
drink whish. being stlmulAnt en-
ttrely without food value. Is so very
harmful." Name given By Po5tum
