whether or not the law now in force

Clerk of this court is directed to

Two Women.

In New Jersey jury and a Prose
cutting Attorney did their best to
hang a little ignorant Italian mother
who killed the man who tried to be-
foul her home.
In Colorado a jury has just acquit-
ted a woman who killed her husband
for no other reason but that she was
tired of him.
These are two extremes.
The lustful brute who made life
miserble for Mrs. Tolla got her just
deserts. The man had logged her
for months. She was afraid to tell
her husband who was a small man
for fear the big beast might kill him.
Distracted she shot her pursuer to
preserve her purity and her home.
Being poor and unable to speak the
English language, her testimony
went for nothing. Her case was
railroaded evidently in order to make
q reputation for a prosecuting At
torney.
There was no justification for the
verdict against Mrs. Tolla. A pr o.
test went up especially from the
West against the cruelty. The
Board Pardons looked into the mat
ter with the prospects that Mrs.
Tolla will get a new trial and go
free.
Also in the Colorado case there
was no justification for the verdict.
The woman should have been sent to
the penitentiary.
This woman was guilty. There
was no provacation worthy Of the
name. The act was cold-blooded.
She was Q woman Of bad reputation

Offence AetWeen SnOb5erY and
Affection.

A large number of our Journalistic
and other friends are making a
strenuous protest over the symp-
toms attending the marriage OF
Alice Roosevelt to Nicholas Long
worth the congressman from Cincin-
att. Their piaintruns that this IN
teresting young lady has been the
recipient Of more adulatlon during
the last two months than any prin-
cess Of the royal blood and that the
presents showered upon the happy
couple combined with the scramble
for bids to the wedding ceremony
were most profound exhibitions of
snobbery in a supposedly democratic
country. We cannot agree with this
view Of the case. 1t appears to US
that the charge Of snobbery is dis
charged at the outset when we con-
slider how unanimously it would
have application. Does anyone I'M
CINE that any prince or princess OF
Europe or Asia or any other country
where royalty plays a large role,
would have attracted one-hun-
dradth the attention and the playful
affection bestowed upon the presi-
dents daughter and the young man
she has selected to spend the rest OF
life at her side? We believe that
this very manifestation Of interest
is one Of the strongest possible
proofs eff our democratic sentiment
in this country. 1t comes from high
and low rich All posr. The gamin
on the street of New York was as
anxious to get a glimpse Of Miss
Alice on her recent visit there as

About Answering Announcement
Cards, Proper Form Thereof
and the Reception Day.

There exists confusion sometimes
in regard to the question of reply
to announcement cards.
In fact, no answer at all is reQuir-
ed, unless the cards contain date
of reception or days in certain
months. Then the calling card OF
the recipient should be mailed
to the address, directed to whoever
sent the cards of announcement,
writes Hortense Provost.
A card announcing a marriage
is equivalent to card only; it is not
an invitation of any kind but q
statement to the effect that a cou-
pie have been married at a certain
time and place. If however. is ad-
ded that Mr.. and Mrs. Blank, y
the newly married couple; will be
lat home" with day and date and
address. reply must be made, if
not in person, by ones card, and
posted to reach the name on the day
of the lat home.
Announcement cards are always
sent by the parents or those who
stand in that relation, or the bride.
The form IS simple:
Mr.. and Mrs. Blank announce
the marriage Of their daughter 'or
niece), Mary Elizabeth to Mr.. James
Fenner Smith, at such and such
a church tor at a home weddingl on
such and such a date"
The acknowledgment must be q

names Of Mr.. and Mrs Blank on the

announcement.

that has ensued ever since the first
announcement of the Roosevelt be-
trothal.
Had Alice Roosevelt been of the
patrician. aristocratic, stiff-necked
breed of American woman-and we
have plenty of them-she weuld have
been troubled precious little by the
attention or the curiosity of Ameri-
can citizen. Had her nov husband
been an austere forbiddlng sample
of the frock-coated gentry whe
would freeze the hoi polloi with a
stare and put them off with sheer,
the engagement would have been
announced the presents bestowed
and the ceremony performed with
not scintilla of the furore we have
witnessed during the last few
weeks.
But each one of these two young
people embodies the genius of Am
ericanism, They are both democra-
tic affable easily approached with

Miss Roosevelt when the genial in
terest Of the people Of Philadelphia
and New York threatened to put a
summary end to her privacy? Who
can blame LongWorth for laughingly

porters from the then Miss Roose-
welt when they would have positive
