Where Feminine Fancy Lights
PEARLS FOR A PRINCESS

Every Christmas the German emperor
gives his daughter a pearl Of great
price; and this year the thirteenth pearl
was added to the matchless string,
which will on the princess twenty-frst
birthday, be unequaled in Europe For
Louise is in her fourteenth year, and it
won't be long before papa is seeking a
son-in-law worthy of being his only
girls husband. Not much is known of
princesschen, as the emperor's subjects
call her, save that she is a lively, ner-
vous little body, much INDUCED by her
mother and adored by her brothers.
This fancy Of adding a pearl each year
to the prospective necklace for a royal
debutante is also in favor with Ameri-
can mothers, and there is more than one
American baby who has started in al.
most as luckily as the kaiser's only
daughter.

PICTURE POSTAL INSULTS

Society in England has taken up the
fight against what it regards as one of
the most intolerable %nuisances of the
day-the picture postal cards which are
being sent broadcast not. only in Great
Britain, but in this country as well.
The members Of the nobility do not OBJ
ject so much to the clogging of the
mails, but to the fact that enterprising
publishers have issued a series on which
appear the photographs of titled Eng
lishwomen as well as scenes in their
homes. The women assert the promiscu-
GUS sale of their pictures is an insult
and several of them have applied for in
functions restraining the publishers
from selling the cards. Not only So
ciety women, but other prominent per-
sons have taken up the fight and among
those who have asked for injunctions
is Marie Corelli. In her petition the
novelist asserts the photograph of her
self on the postal cards is a gross libel
and that the caption under one series of
the Observation-Disclosures and His Con-
temporary-Marie Corelli' causes her
to look ridiculous.

Saved from Cough Medicine
Saturday Night club disbanded suddenly. It
is a great pity. It was a good club and philan-

TIME Saturday Night club disbanded suddenly. It
is a great pity. 1t was a good club and philan-
l thropic. It had an excellent purpose, which was
to prevent suicides. Those who take the trouble to
look in the Monday morning papers will find that about
four times as many suicides occur on Saturday night
as on any other night in the week. It may be thai
because a majority of men get paid on Saturday that
most men over.indulge drink to excess on Saturday
evening. Sometimes they spend all their money on drink,
sometimes they lose it gambling, sometimes it is stolen
from them. At any rate they become morbid, and
more men put bullets thru their heads or turn on the
gas Saturday night or early Sunday morning than ut
any other time.
Hawkins, who was the originator and the president
of the Saturday Night club, had studied the question
long and earnestly. II wish I could help those peo-
ple,'' he said to seven men to- whom he outlined his
plans for the club. eff we only know it in time we
could save them from elf-destruction." He and his
companions were perfectly ready and willing to give
money to tide over the troubles of the would-be sui
eide, because half the time. the troubles are money
troubles. One story in particular interested Hawkins.
1t was a Saturday night story of a man who killed his
child and himself after tearing up his last So bill.
There was a world Of pathos in that. The desperate
man was going where the money or the want of it
could never hurt him any more, could never make him
laugh or cry, could never distress him..
The idea Of the Saturday Night club was to search
Tor ant the weuld-oe suicides and help them out of their
trouble before it got too late. There were eight mem
bers of the club, and their plan was to 60 out separ-
attely on Saturday night, wander about the city, and
if they found some poor man or woman who seemed
to be in the depths Of despair and upon the verge Of
suicide to offer help.
Of course they were first to find out whether he or
oHo ledAy heeueu nep or not, whether the morbid
person really intended to commit suicide. That was
absolutely necessary. since the club members would
soon be at the bottom of their funds if they helped
those who were not deserving.
Hawkins is satisfied there was something wrong
with the method employed by the club, MEMBERS to
grapple with the problem. Each one Of his associates
agrees with him. In all New York it is doubtful
whether there were eight more discouraged or dis
gruntled men than gathered in Hawkins rooms last
Sunday to report. &c.

and arrest him if he did not 1928" Nothing Mr..
Hawkins could do or say swerved the policeman, who
seemed to believe the philanthropist's real purpose was
to rob the Fdrunk.'
Hollowell told of a weeping woman he had as
sisted. He encountered her in Third avenue. She had
been deserted, she told him when he pressed her for
an account Of her troubles, and she did not know
which way to turn. Hollowell had given money to
supreme]y happy until he discovered that his watch,
which he treasured on account of it's associations, and
his "roll' were gone. b"
Croydon said he had seen a man in the Subway
station at the Brooklyn bridge, at 11:4S Saturday
night, who seemed bent on self-destruction. The man
paced the platform, stopping occasionally to look for
an approaching train. That he meant to cast himself
before it was evident. Croydon watched him mar
roWly. AS an express came laundering from the south
Croydon saw the man draw a vial from his pocket,
put it to his lips and throw his head back. To be
ground up by the wheels evidently was not enough,
but he. must make sure Of the job by poison. AS the
first drops of the fluid were on The mans lips the vial
was sent spinning out over the track by a blow Croy-
den struck. An instant later he had dragged the fell
low away from the edge of the platform. The man
struggled violently. When guards and policemen sepa-
rated the struggling men the would-be suicide insisted
on Croyden's arrest. He was taking his cough medi-
cine, he said, when he was attacked by the crazy man.
"Cough medicine!'' said Croydon, aghast. 81
thought it was poison" The injured citizen exhibited
a stained white shirt bosom as proof. Nothing more
was needed. A lot Of the mixture had dropped on the
snowy surface when Croyden's blow was landed. It
took Croydon two hours, and he had to summon vari-
GUS legal and financial friends from uptown, before
the police of the City Hall station would let him go.
Why tell of the experiences of the others9 All
their efforts went awry. And they seemed to think,
or at least their actions indicated, that Hawkins was
responsible for their troubles.
Without formal action, but by unanimous consent,
the club disbanded, and there is no talk of reorganiza-
ton. Neither is there any spirit of cordiality among
the former members.-New York Press.

A CHOLERA BELT.

uTHE cholera belt,'' said a pale AngloIndian, stis
l not an imaginary girdle, like your pie belt, but
a real girdle, which every foreign resident of India
wears day and night.
Gin winter the belt is made of heavy wool. In
summer it is made of light wool. 1t is never taken off.
Even when you are sleeping in a temperature of lO5
degrees, tossing and moaning and perspiring, despite
the punkah that fans you from above, you still keep on
your cholera belt, no matter what else you shed.
EVERY Anglo-Indian has a couple of dozen cholera

any wearer of a cholera belt whom cholera ever seized

The day Of days to the girl is the

It is the stepping from girlhood into

He stood upon the chilly pave,
The child with curly head,
Around him surged a human wave,
But neer a word he said.
He knew how swift the moments fly,
The crowd swayed to and fro;
He heard his mothers distant cry
Yet still he would not go.
The hours wore on, the boy was there,
He waited with the rest;
The curl had left the tangled hair
His mother oft caressed.
His little legs they felt like wood,
He knew twas after four,
Yet by the board he patient stood
