Rosemary Halls Faculty Taboos
 Heaesear Even in Win.er

Greenwich, Nov 2S.-If Miss Edith Wallis, physical instructor tt Rose mary Hall, a boarding school for young women in this city, could have her way women would be hatiess all the year round Likewise, in so far as a libera interpretation of conventio onai- ity permits. the fair sex would live longer by having their bodies unham- pered by clothing.
 X Miss Wallis has introduced this sys- tenn of living into Rosemary Hall. and the sight of groups of maidens stroii- ing through the streets of Greenwich with their hesses flying has aroused much enthusiastic comment. 8s The young women who follow Miss Wailis'sf instruction have cast aside their mil linery and wear a loose sweat- CT and walking skirt s' ss sssN .s
 Miss Wal Is advocates that the cos tunes worn by women be reduced to graceful and decorous minimum, It is her unshakahle belief that "bundling up" is responsible for more colds than anything else. Even when the mercury hovers low she would have women wear light clothing.
 First the hat is abo ished and then the clothing is slowly reduced until only light clothing is worn. This treat ment will result, Miss Wallis claims, in beautifying the hair and in benefit ing the health.

 to Macedonian Leader.

London, Nov 2S.--A letter from Bo- ris Sarafoff, the Macedonian leader, to a friend in London says it is the ir- tention of the revolutionary committee to defer the next general rising to the spring of 19O6 after the expiration of the two-year term of the Austro- Rus sian reforms Sarafoff adds that the reforms are utter failures and that the condition of the peasants is worse than before the late revolution. Their homes have not been rebuilt and the people are on, the verge of starvation, some of them freezing to death. The insurgents under Damien Grueff are maintaining the revolutionary organt- zation with seventy bands of ten to fifty men each, and are collecting funds in Macedonia for the next ris- ing.

 From Gas Stove.

New York, Nov 2S.-Fire in five story fiat house at No East 115tn street has thrown thirteen families into a panic. Adolph Burkhardt, 75 years old, father of a vaudeville ac- tress, was so severely burned that the physicians in Harlem hospital, where he was taken, have no hope of saving his life.
 Burkhardt lived with his daughter in-law on the third floor and all were in bed when the fire started. When they were aroused the flames were leaping up the stairs, cutting off escape by that means, and Burkhardt, clad only in night robe, ran into the hall way. He was found there by persons who discovered the flames and climbed up the fire escapes to alarm the sleep ing tenants.
 When the firemen reached the house every window was crowded with fig ures attired only in night clothes, while chorus of shrieks went up from the women and children, many of whom wanted to jump. Extension ladders were quickly raised and all were saved. the only person injured being Burkhardt.
 It is believed that the fire stg~ted from a gas stove on the first floor. The damage was about $5,OO0.
