Took Poison in Two Forms

CHICAGO, Jan. 20. = Because her
husband upbraided her for smoking
cigarettes, a habit which had under
mined her health and which she could
not conquer Mrs. Sadie Thompson, wife
of Robert Oliver Thompson, sexton of
the Oak Park Episcopal church, swal-
lowed corrosive sublimate and died
after an agonizing illness.

to exercise much sway in the winters
course. Miss Marie de Acosta also fol-
lows the idea, but she contents herself
with a Maltese terrier of ultra diminu-
tive size that looks like a cotton ball
and really is too small to keep pace
with the sprightly damsel. Babette is
the name the fluffy beauty goes by, and
they do say she and her mistress eat
nougatS out of the same box. Miss de
AcoSta is a fancier of that breed of
canine freak and owns several excel
lent specimens. She eschews toy dog
shows as we'll as the bigger bench af-
fairs, however, holding that no woman
with a real fondness for animals could
submit them to the ignominy of being
stared at by the general. Babette and
Miss de Acosta dropped into the ST.
Regis for luncheon a few days ago, and
the chaperon was amused by the clever
girls indignation when informed the
terrier could not eat at her table nor
even beside her chair. Miss de Acosta
compromised by taking private room
for Babette. in which the woolly, midget
Jared finely on quail and other simple
fare, while the women made a quick
repast down stairs, then fastened up
to see that the dear creatures appetite
was satisfied. Babette doesn't sleep on
rose leaves, but she might if she liked.
A dream of an evening gown, which
was made recently by London house,
was of pearl white mousseline, gar
nished with rich silk embroidery in the
form of trailing roses. The two shaped
ffounces on the skirt were scalloped to
accommodate the design of the en-
broidery, which took the form Of TRAIL
ing rose stalks, with here and there a
large blossom or single leaf
but the practical view was that clean
shirts, collars and cuffs for men and
lingerie for women were more in the
way Of necessity than cameras, in
taglies, thinning or cutting out marble
or plaster. They point out as example
the great success of Mrs. Hafwa Will
liams, of. London, who built up a tidy
fortune by just such a method and
lost nothing in the way of social pres
tige in her achievement. The Misses
Mullan have learned the mysteries of
Laundering in the French capital and
are prepared to turn out scientific
work which can compare with the best
efforts OF the artists along the Seine
They have obtained the patronage of
the foreign establishments adjacent to
their homes and are gaining gradually
the confidence and custom of the rich
resident set.
Pale blue velvet and punches of arti-
ficial violetS are a smart combination
in French millinery this season.

GOSSIP FROM GOTHAM


Now comes the knee purse-a fash
ion the great danes of England and
France have borrowed from the social
successors of Nell GWynne and the
Marquise de Pompadour. 1t Is pre-
cisely what its name implies-a purse
designed to be worn at the knee, and
worn it is by half the rich women on
both sides Of the water For be it
known that women of title and wealth
do not always place themselves blindly
at the mercy of their maids OF. eouriers.
In this age of spot cash, born of bad
debts, it is well for the woman who
travels TIC have gold in her purse. One
never knows when an emergency will
make the possession of ready money
not only useful, but essential. Enter,
therefore, the knee purse, that snug
giles in snowy chaos and clings close
ly to a wonder world. of satiny white.
The little pouch fits snugly on the in
side of the knee, to which it is bound
circular. carriers having been Danish
ed by the enemies Of romance-by
leather band with a cute little gold
buckle on which is engraved, the own
er's monogram. A good deal of money
Ill century notes can be crapamed into
the wee wallet, and there is room for
small fortune in diamonds as well.

Letter turned to her with the pathetic
remark that she had forgotten her
purse and had not the wherewithal for

ride in hansonas. although they have
enough carriages of their own to equip
a royal progress. Never mind mama"
ehirped Daisy the lemure, with smile
that paled the arc lamps. She turned
toward the counter, made a swoop at
her skirts, performed a Glow reach"
calculated to make a Squadron A

daintily glcved hand reappeared, tri-
umphantly clutching a e SO bank note.
Mamma was staggered for moment,
and showed it. The countess who was
to be rippled forth laugh like silver
chimes. then whispered in her mothers
ear. Mrs. Letter positively blushed and
made reply that colored her daugh-
ter's face. The incident was forgotten
in another moment but the secret was
out-the beited CARTS bride elect were
