mas Tree.

New York, December 26-The celebra-

the authorities
A neatly dressed young woman OF
twenty-seven years was found uneon-
scious seated on a bench in Riverside
drive. An ambulance was summoned, but
the girl died before reaching a hospital.
privations and hardship. The ambulance
surgeon was of the opinion that death
resulted from long continued exposure
without nourishment. 1t is believed that
she wandered all Christmas day and

plain sight of some of the finest resi-
dences of the city.
A Little Heroine.
Nine-year- Jeannett Mccoy, whose
father was i'll and unable to work, has
been caring for her young brothers and
sisters while her mother supported the
family by washing and scrubbing. To-
day the little girl, worn out by her efforts
was taken to a hospital where it was
found she was suffering from diptheria,
and few hours later she was dead. The
physicians say she had literally starved
herself to death in her endeavors to keep
the other four children alive.
Nan Patterson, the former actress, ac-
cused of the murder of Frank L. Young,
passed a gloomy Christmas in the
Toombs. She had anticipated celebrating
her release from Imprisonment with her
family In Washington. Miss Patterson
was sent an elaborate dinner by one of
her counsel, but she ate little. and wept
continuously. She was somewhat COM
posed later in the day by a long letter
from her mother.
Morris Fielding, a clerk in banking
house, during q moment of dependency
ended his life at his home by shooting.
Swooned on Street.
Tottering through the snow while suf-
fering from pneumonia, Mrs. Mary Sch
neider, aged twenty-three, fell swooning
on a sidewalk in Forty-fifth street. Her
husband died five months ago, and left
her penniless, and she has been harbored
by woman friend. Her benefactor' S
husband became i'll and believed he was
about to become dispossessed. Last night
Mrs. Schneider started for hospital. The
physicians at the hospital to which she
was taken said she was suffering from
double pneumonia and would die.
Following a trivial quarrel with his
wife, Conrad Frederlcks. hanged himself
in his home in East Eighty-fourth street.
The man took offense at a remark of his
wife after rendering his Christmas pres
ents to three children, taken from a
tree.

The Soul of the Tailor.
From the sartorIal Art Journal.

From the Sartorial Art Journal.
The soul Of the craftsman can express
itself more fully and clearly in tailoring
than in any other trade II the tailor
thoughts are poetic he can issue pastorais
ir colors that are charmingly suggestive
OF hillside or meadow. foliage or waiv-
ing grain; he can make his overcoats
speak of bleak December, his dress suits
of frolic and festivities. his frock coats
of dignity and wealth, his cut-aways OF
self-content, and his sacks Of strenuous
ness, and he can make his waistooats
Jungle like limericks, his trousers sing OF
SUNSHINE or of rain and mud. his spring
suits chortle of hope and joy and his
summer suits prattle of flowers. If he is
ar artist he can make oyercoat, undercoat
.waistcoat or trousers seem sensuous
haze, a reverie of color, riot of action,
or a vigorous portrayal of cnflicting emo
lions In decimated field of desolatlon;
and If he Is musician he can impart to
his sartorial creations an expression that
suggests the beating of lamb. the clash
ing of cymbals, the rat-tat of a drum,
the ragtime movement of a cakewalk,
the wall Of despair. the shout of triumph,
the roar Of lion or the bray Of an ass.

when twilight bells are ringing sweet
Ana evening echoes greet me,
Az, happy heart seems singing sweet
1r someone who viii meet me-
,of bIue eyes meath golden crown
Dear eyes! that watch and walt
And little footsteps pattering down
The pathway to the gate.
Though sad to toll in barren soil,
Though fortune has not found me,
know that night Will bring me light
And Irvine two arms around me,
And let the day be gold or gray
What thought so sweet as this:
nIl drifts and dreams my darling's way
Who keeps for me a kiss"
a love Of life, and strength in strife!
@ ioy TO sorrow given,
q dear eyes that make life's skies,
And earth as sweet as heaven!
7 still can bear with grief and care,
And face the storms to be,
II Love- the comforter, will share
The crust, the crumbs, With me.

old fashioned. simple mush. Boil salted
water, and slowly, carefully stir into it
fine. unsifted rye -four not letting it
lump. Serve with molasses, sauce-lno-
lasses and butter, with whatever spice
or fiavoring is preferred. l like it with
only butter and molasses, though
lemon peeling boiled with it is no OBJ
lection. Still more delicious is this
budding. cold, cut in slices and fried
in butter. Milk is the best drink with
q meal of rye. A noted doctor once
said that diet of rye, with buttermilk
as A between-meals beverage, would al
most make a new liver.
