THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.

Wall Street Is inclined TO regard
skeptically the socalled settlement OF
the Equitable internal d%issensions.
says Henry Clews In his weekly fin
ancial letter. Any settled attitude
toward the G status OF the society's
AFFAIRS is delayed pending more defn.
tie information concerning the final
control--the real control.
The silver lining In this Insurance
cloud. however. Is already apparent
in that the decision OF the Equitable
directors to invest In suitable securi.
ties all surplus funds that may not
be legitimately considered working
balances" will In all probability be
followed-possibly be insisted upon
by the insurance department-by the
other large life insurance companies.
From a stock market point OF view the
benefits OF this action would be two
fold. first. the creation OF an I'm
portant and continued demand In the
investment department Of the market;
and, second, the curtailment or a
most important scale Of large profess
sional operations that have heretofore
relied 10 q measurable extent upon
Insurance surplus funds for banking
! facilities. When, therefore. the in
urance factor has been removed from
the market N may not he said to have
been without IT'S compensatory adj.
vaniages.
The decision by Secretary Shaw to
| defer until July Is his call upon banks
Throughout The country for govern
u,ont deposits has delayed a moderate
adverse influence over the money sit
nation. In all. under the current call,
New York banks will pay about $l2.-
as the July disbursements VIII In
large measure have returned TO circu-
~ia,ion By the middle Of the month the
withdrawal Of government funds
should be made without substantial
influence on the banking situation,
There is also good reason to believe
that Secretary Shaw-himself a for
mer bank officer Of prominence-will
conduct his future Withdrawals Of
funds in such a way as to interfere as
little as possible with the currency
acquisitions invariably made upon
New York for moving the crops. Al
any rate, usually well informed bank
ing interests OF New York are confidenI
that this will be Mr. Shaw's policy. II
is. however, not entirely wise to looi
upon this action as completely clear
Ing the money situation. At the pres
ent time a considerable amount oi
French and German capital Is In this
country In the form " loans on stocl
exchange collateral. Should the peace
negotiations be contaminated witt
greater speed than now appears prob
able, the car will probably seek bank
ing facilities for financing his war In
demnity in Paris and Berlin. which
would In tnrn be compelled to draw
In their reserves and call back theiI
funds from this country.

Nervousness IL very common among
women. This condition is due to anemic
nerve centers. The nerve centers are
the reservoirs Of nervous vitality. These
centers become bloodless for want Of
proper nutrition.
This IL especially true in the spring
season. Every spring q host OF invalids
are produced as the direct result Of weak
nerves.
This can be easily obviated by using
Peruna. Pernna strikes at the root Of the
difficulty by correcting the digestion.

Digestion furnishes nutrition for the

Peruna IL in great favor among

tions that are trying to the nerves.
Peruna furnishes the lasting vigo.

Thousands Of testimonials from

One of the delightful events Of the
week Just closed was the dinner given
in honor of Miss May Cotter last
Tuesday evening by Miss Della V. F'a-
hey of 1924 Ionia street. The house
had been prettily decorated through
out. Pink and white roses with
pretty background Of ferns were used
in the reception room and library. The
floral arrangement in the dining room
was one of the prettiest and most
unique which the Chatterer has seen.
Red and green were the colors used.
The mantel was banked with pepper
boughs. Bows of red satin ribbon
added to the brilliancy of the scene.
The centerpiece for the table was a
bowl of scarlet geraniums, while over
the cloth were scattered bright hued
autumn leaves, which had just been re-
ceived by the young hostess from the
east. Covers were laid for DR.. and
Mrs. P. G. Cotter, ]. x. Mcdonald
Misses N. Stevens, Kate and Nora Des-
nond, Anna Lain, May Cotter and D.
Fahey, Rev. T. r. Fahey and Rev.
George Donahoe and P. ]. McGarry.
During the evening vocal solos were
given by Miss Fahey, Father Fahey
and S. Pla.
Miss Cotter recently came here from
Plattsburg, Pa, and expects to make
her home with DIR. and Mrs. Cotter.
She is recent graduate of Columbia
university and has already become
very popular in local society.

The Old stone Fort Mt ChambIy.

One of the most picturesque remains
of the glories Of New France, whose
history and legends date back to the
age of Frontenac and La Sale, Is the
old stone fort ut Chambly, In the prov.
ince of quebec. The tablet on the
ruins, with Its motto, Courage AID
Loyalty" III French, bears this inscrip-
ton: "ln the reign of Louis XIV. of
France and Navarro, the Marquise de
Nandreull being governor of New
France, this fort was erected in I'LL,
burned in 177G, restored by Guy Garlic
ton In 1777, abandoned In 1917. 1t was
repaired in 1882 in the reign Of Vic
toria, queen Of Great Britain, the Mar.
quis Of Lorne being governor general
of Canada" etc. a fact which the in
scription kindly fails to record Is that
the burning referred to was by the
American troops, who, having captured
the fort in 1775 under General Mont
gomery, burned 1t the following year
when they retreated to Lake Cham
plain. The various RESERVATIONS have
been made skillfully to harmonize with
the weather beaten portions which re-
sisted the fire Of 1770.

SpfJer COurtahiD.

The courtship Of the Salts pulex,
spider, is described by an expert in
insect life as n most elaborate exhibit
ton Of skill and grace In dancing Bal
ancing his body on his long legs, he
moves In semicircle for about two
inches and then, reversing the position,
twists and turns in the opposite direc-
ton, repeating this grotesque figure
scores of times and pausing every few
minutes to rock from side to side and
to bend his brilliant legs so that they
may be brought into full view Of his
admiring mate. A similar display, but
with varied antics, marks the lovemak-
ing of other sorts of spiders, but this
manner Of counting is not without its
risks, and 1t may often happen that
the lively sutton, II he prolongs his per-
Torrance or shows Off his points Of
perfection too persistently, is suddenly
seized and devoured by his more mus
cular mate.
