Women EcOnOmizinR.
The women, irrespective of class, are
economzing in all directions. The La
dies One Heart Society-the Fujiu Is
shiukai-is representative of their or
CARNATIONS. This society embraces the
women of the middle class, and its
members are saving on their food and
their hair dressing and bath money.
They visit the baths only once week
now instead of daily. Indeed, every
member must make it point to save
something daily for "a bandage for a
soldiers leg, or rice for his mother
mouth"
Those who cannot pare their ex-
penses, because they are down to the
bone already. are stinting themselves
of their leisure time. The errand
boys of the Wholesale and retail dis
tricts have formed boys association
to make straw sandals for the soldiers
after working hours. Each boy man
ufactures about fifty pairs a week.
Some of the boys, not content with
this sacrifice, beg waste paper from
the stores and go around peddling it,
getting cents for every ten pounds of
paper, and turning the proceeds into a
common fund.

UNFAIRLY agreed to give over to the va

tributed 200 yen last week. Every ac-

messenger boys have banded together
and SO far contributed $50 yen, at the
rate of 70 to so sen a month apiece, for
caring for wounded soldiers. The car

Tea After Egg Rolling.
Mrs. Roosevelt invited the cabinet
ladies and a few other friends to wit
ness the egg-rolling in the White
House grounds on Easter Monday and
to take tea. 1t was the same old egg

ty and almost unknown elsewhere. 1t
has required on every Easter Mon
day through many generations, and
the President who would refuse the
White House grounds and the services
of the best band in the city for that
day in the year would certainly make
himself extremely unpopular with the
small folk. But no President has ever
done it, although the damage to the
grounds is great and the annual eX-
pense runs up into the hundreds of
dollars. This year, for the first time,
provision was made for the uninter-
rupted enjoyment of children by the
ruling that no adults, except those ac-
companied by children, should be adj
mitted to the grounds until late
hour in the afternoon. Policemen
guarded all the entrances to inforce
the new regulation, and as a conse-
Quence, the crowd that in other years
has interfered with the little ones in
their rolling and picking" of eggs,
were this year conspicuous by their
absence.

Washington. April 9.-The Roosevelts

GOODNESS toward her stepmother is such
that she never stays under the same
roof if it can be avoided, left for New

twenty-four hours in the White House,
following her return from the South

little too much for Kermit, so after
a little whispered conversation with
his father he wormed his way out of

usual awaited the egress of the Presl-
dent from the church When he did
come out, he bowed right and left to
the people and continued to bow away
down Fifteenth street. Theodore, Jr.,

The President stopped at the residence
of Secretary Hay to make his usual

A few days ago the little daughter
of a Western congressman who is a
pupil of the same music teacher who
instructs the smallest Roosevelt boy,
Archie, met her classmate on the street

of the downpour, to exchange greet

was particularly wet and bedraggled,
and there was a big patch of mud on
the trousers of his Thompson suit. But

RUSSIA NOT PREPARED
TO ANSWER HAYS NOTE,
BY the Associated Pres,

BY the Associated Pres
st. Petersburg, Feb 12.-Itusiia is
evidently not prepared at this time 10
answer Secretary Hays note on the
subject of the neutrality of China. AS
previously stated in these dispatches
hostilities having begun, military
authorities must be consulted and
the czar will doubtless refer the mat
ter to viceroy Alexieff. If he has not
already done so.
Russia, II can be said. is certainly
as anxious as the United States that
the war cause no risings or disorders
in China. Indeed, the attitude OF China
is already causing some misgivings
here, as she has not yet declared her
neutrality. 1t is thought here the ac'
tion of the Japanese in flooding Pekin
with posters relating their victory is
part of we'll laid campaign, projected
from the beginning to break down
Russia's prestige in China, for the pur-
pose Of ultimately etiecting a union OF
the two races. which wouldd make the
, 'ye,law pcril" a reality.
Russia has already learned OF the
position taken by several powers re-
5arding Secretary Hays note. Ger.
many and Great Britain it is under
stood, both express sympathy with its
purpose but with an important reser-
yatlon concerning Manchuria which is
now the theatre of war G1rmanys
views in this respect were anticipated
but Great Britains failure to give Hay
unqualified support has caused sur
prise here.

naval opinion here credits the report
that the Russian Vladivostok squadron
of four armored cruisers has left Vlad-
fvostok and it is believed it will at
tack the coaling stations on the north

this move it is understood that the
Japanese have several warships guard.

is believed the municipal government
of vladivostok will be transferred to
a nearbytown together with the citi.
zens, and the entire place turned over
to the army for fortress. From dis.
patches received here it is thought
the Japanese will coniine their naval
operations for the present to the dc.
