lection by American druggists is based
on the ground that the employment of
women in dispensing drugs would
throw many men out, inasmuch as
the woman pharmacist would give her
services at a lower rate, but there is
nothing in the English experience. to
bear out that contention. There are
women druggists in English dispen-
saries who receive as much as $1,000 a
year each. They learn quickly, are
careful and conscientious and are not
as likely to take the SPIT. Frumenti bot
tie from It's shelf as frequently as the
trousered dispenser. Two girls had a
drug store in Harlem about three years
ago, but could not make it pay be-
cause the doctors strongly advised their
patients to intrust their prescriptions
only to men.
It would not be astonishing to have
the news come to US any day that the
crown prince of Prussia, the oldest son
of the kaiser, had carried out his
avoWed purpose and contracted a NOR
ganatic marriage with an American
girl He is headstrong youth, and has
asserted that when he weds his bride
will be native Of this country His
latest -infatuation, 1t is known well, is
for Gladys Deacon. He is desperately
in love with her. She Is as pretty as
picture, and has such winning ways
and is SO sweetly ingenious that it is
no wonder the royal sutton has lost his
heart. Still, 1t is nothing new for the
prince to be in love, and with American
girls. His first flame, so far as known,
was Kate Smith, daughter Of q Gin
cinnati pork packer; then Isadora Dun
can, who danced into his heart in Ber-
lin. After Miss Duncan came Eydith
Walker and Bessie Abbott, but for none
of them ho
tense passion as for the beautiful Miss
Deacon. The prince is willing to make
any sacrifice, even the throne, he says
to carry out his purpose, and the Ger
man court Is In great futter Of ex-
citement.
Another indignant protest against
American steam heat comes from q
visiting celebrity. Felix Weingartner
is not singer with sensitive throat,
but he believes that steam heat in this
country may have very injurious eff
fects.
The other night he retired to a chop
house In Broadway to eat his dinner
during the "ParsifaID intermission.
Taking off his rubber shoes he put
them near the steam heater.
Dinner was somewhat prolonged that
night, as Herr Weingartner, who is de-
voted already to that national dish, ate
two pieces of pie instead of one. When
he arose to go his rubber shoes were
filed with hot water. They had to be
carried out of the room and emptied
as carefully as if they had been soup
plates.
The walters thought for q while that
some joker had taken this liberty with
the conductors shoes. But they soon
discovered that a leak in the heater
was responsible for the result that has
given Mr.. Weingartner such a poor
opinion of our steam heating methods.
One of the surprising features Of the
new ballet at the Metropolitan last week
was it's effect on the occupants Of the
parterre boxes. For the first time in mem
DRY the stockholders and their guests sat
in absolute silence while the ballet corps
danced Interest in their maneuvers was,
of course, the cause of this attention. The
most absorbing of the Wagnerian operas
/ had never before been able to produce this
effect. Conversation for once came to an
end. An unpretentious little ballet had ac-
complished more than die Goetterdaem-
merung' ever could.
Personally conducted terrapin Is the lux
ury that New Workers have enjoyed this
winter at the best of the entertainments.
The terrapin is prepared by caterer in
Philadelphia who is supposed to know
more about 1t than anybody else in the
United States. His particular speciality is
| the removal of all the bones so that the
| dish may be eaten without danger to life
or to manners.
This terrapin is the most expensive to
| be bought in this country and the method
of its transportation to this city makes it
