her friends "that indicates thought
In a princess gown, of light shade
of pansy that is almost heliotrope, a
string of velvet pansies runs from the

1t has become known to a few init
mate friends of Mrs. Grover Cleveland
in this city that if her husband finally
declines to stand as presidential can
didate, if nominated. it will be because
of her influence. Mrs. Cleveland does
not wish to go back to the White
house. She was opposed to the idea
before the death of her daughter
+ Ruth, but that affection strengthened
her opposition to the point Of positive
rebellion. Too many memories would
be revived. In her husbands first term
she was comparatively happy, but the
end of the second term was hailed by
her with delight Her friends say they
cannot imagine any form of induce
ment that would tempt her to become
voluntarily mistress of the White
house a third time, even if she could.
Not only does she not wish to go to
Washington, but she doesn't wish to
remain in Princeton. ut is said Mr..

ago, a gathering like that OF Tuesday
night in the chapter room of Carnegie
hail. when Mrs. Philip Carpenter pre-
sided at the entertainment of the
Woman Lawyers club. Either it would
have been ignored altogether or treat
ed with ridicule, but Tuesday nights
entertainment not only was received
with respect, but withf an evident ap-

With few exceptions the average
| physician Insists that a diet for chill
| dren, from infancy up to the third
| year, should have a milk basis, and
| that children to whom. milk Is dis
| tasteful should be starved into ac-
! ceptance. There is no doubt that as
general proposition this is sensible
| dietetics, but there are exceptions to
! the rule. A doctor in Emporia, Kan.
| has just reported the cases of boy
| four years old and girl six, who new
! err tasted milk from birth, and could
1 not be induced to partake of it. They
| fell i'll with measles, and when con-
yalescent an attempt was made to
! build up their wasted strength With
eggs beaten UP in milk Neither child
would take that form of liquid nour-
| ishment, and the process of starving
] them into it, was begun. They went
/ hungry and thirsty for 8 whole day,
and then were glad to take anything
offered, Each drank about four ounces
/ of milk Nausea followed almost i'm
| mediately. It could not have been 1m-
agination, for the milk had been shad-
| ed a dark color with burnt sugar and
| favored with chocolate, but the decep-
| ton was of no avail. The report OF
/ the case brought out some rather re-
! markable information from other doc

never had any such intention, and not
