and few other things. The doctors
say so.
A Paris scientist has Just cheered all
France with the opinion that kissing is
a remedy for dyspepsia; and who shall
doubt that kiss once so often will do
the most grumpy and disheartened dys-
peptic good7

The Partisan expert urges that the

that they go romping cheerily through
the system, spreading happiness wherever
they go.
Dr. william Guilfoy OF the board OF
health. said he did not see how the Paris
physician could establish his theory
definitely unless an actual test was made
with dyspeptics. or something OF that sort
At any rate. New York doctors will take
no serious action 20 test the theory. How

RED HEADED
WOMAN GOT
A WHIPPING

New York. Jan. 11.-Warning sig
nails are up in North Pelham for an un-
known. styishly dressed woman with
red hair 10 look out. Mrs. Charles p.
Smith, who gave the woman horse
whipping. is still looking for her. and
has asked the police also TO look. She
knows the womans hair is red, because
she pulled some OF II out.
Mrs. Smith is well known in North
Pelham society. where her husband is
manager of the coal and the transfer
companies.
The unknown woman first called on
Mrs. Smith few nights ago and in
formed her that her husband had made
an appointment with young woman for
that evening.
III you will he at the red church I'm
Pelham Manor al 10 O'Clock tonight you
will see for yourself that he loves an
other" said she
The. woman wore a large automobile
veil which prevented Mrs. Smith from
getting a glimpse OF her features
When Mr.. Smith heard OF the strange
woman's visit he was intensely angry
end told his wife II she ever came again
60 detain her.
At s o'clock last evening the woman
appeared again.
Mrs. Smith" she began. you did not
keep your appointment / am sorry. for
I am putting myself TO great inoon-
venience 10 give you this friendly warn
ing"
There was no cause for your visit"
replied Mrs Smith. My husband comes
4 home early every evening and have the
fullest confidence In him"
He has a similar appointment to-
night" said the woman.
Mrs. Smith calkd for her daughter
Celia to bring her a horsewhip She saw
a man standing at the gate. but this did
not frighten her. She snalched the whip
and lashed the red headed woman across
the face. The woman fed 10 the front
veranda, where she grappled with Mrs.
Smith. who pursued and threw her down
In falling Mrs. Smith grabbed the woman
by the hair and pulled out a handful
The woman dashed down the steps and
ran. Mrs. Smith and her daughter pur-
sued the woman for half a mile through
vacant lots and across bitches, but she
escaped.

COOKERY
FOR GIRLS
IN SOCIETY

New York, Jan. IA girl ignorant OF
Housekeeping has no more right to marry
than man ignorant OF bresd-earning.
"A large proportion of our young wom-
en- are being prepared for everything ex-
cept domestic life, which statistics show,
nearly onc-half OF them are living.
LET us teach those who are members
OF our families. whether maids or daugh-
ters, that work done in the kitchen is
quite as honorable and much more neces-
ssry than the accomplishments OF
the drawing room"
Mrs j. II. Petit created sensation
when she offered these observations to
the Minerva club at the Waldorf-Astoria
in a dissertation on Mistress and Maid. :"
She poked fun at the would-be philan-
thropists who advocated entertainments
for the maids or working hours limited
20 six or eight. or again, houses con-
structed with kitchen and backyard in
front
The solution she suggested was the
training OF all the daughters in all that
pertains to home-maling and letting these
young women teach their less fortunate
sisters (the maids), the art OF cooking
in a simple, practical manner. without
any unnecessary bother about the chem
istry OF foods.
''Why cannot housework be made a
popular fad?" she asked. IF the -Four
Hundred would take it up as a pastime
others would speedily follow"
William Neildinger gave a lecture il-
Mstrated by song on Music and Com
mon Life" and said that American wom-
en- were the most beautiful and we'll
dressed. but had the worst voices in the
world.
