A COMPOSITE STATUE.

OsIAH G. PUMPHELLY, resident of Cathedral
y Heights calls attention, in communication to
the New York Times to remarkable piece of s.atuary
in Madison Square park heretofore unsupported by
the general public. His letter says:
I'm it's way it is most extraordinary imposition
for, while the head Of the statue is William ii.
Seward s, the body is Abraham Lincoin's, and the
whole. statue, it to me, should be removed
being in it's absurd makeup only imposition.
About 1870 fund raised by many patriotic
citizens for the purpose Of erecting Seward statue.
The committee having the matter of it's erection in
charge asked the sculptor to lower his price This
proposition the sculptor very properly declined to
accede to- but did, with much disregard for his own
fame and the true fellowcraft spirit, offer make
patchwork of the statue at lower figure, by at
taching to the head of Seward statue of Lincoln
minus the head, of course-which had been left
his hands by defauiting western city.
"a distinguished sculptor told me that the author
of life of W. II. Seward had told him that he deemed
this composite statue disgrace to the sculptor and
to the committee with whom he had conspired pro-
duce this imposition and he thought that the city
authorities should have the monstrosity removed and
a proper fitting statue of honored secretary of
state erected in it's place.
Mr.. Pumphely says he trusts that the matter will
be investigated by the municipal art commission and
the sculptors of the city. ES -..@a

brisk when the joint is put down. Place
il. sufficient distance to prevent the
fat from burning, and haste it con-
stantly till the moment Of serving.
Lamb should be theroly cooked, with
out being dried up, and not the slight
est appearance of red gravy should be
visible, as in roast mutton. This rule
is applicable to all young white meats.
Serve with a little gravy made in tho
dripping pan, the same as for other
roasts, and send to table with a. tureen
Of mint sauce. a
A timely dainty is rhubarb tart. Skin
the stalks and cut into inch lengths.

Rhubarb tart in a deep dish with a
top crust is the English way of pre-
pairing it. To make good rhubarb pie,
skin the rhubarb and cut into small
pieces. Line a pie dish with pastry,
wash with white of egg and fill with the
raw rhubarb, scattering sultana raisins
among the fruit. Sweeten abundantly
put on a top crust and bake. Brush
with white of egg and put back in the
oven for minute to allow the egg to
glaze the crust. Serve cold with cream.

GIRLS CHOOSE HUSBANDS

The literal reader may remark,
Girls cannot choose. It is the man
who selects a. wife, Girls know bet
ter. They can, and they do, make
their own choice among the men who
are attracted by them. And girls
of the well-to-do class have probably
more frequent opportunities of study
ing their male acquaintance than any
of their predecessors turnout the ages
Of the, world.
There may be something of the free
and easy in the modern intercourse be
tween young people. It is a natural
reaction on the part of the young
woman, after centuries of restriction
and chaperonage. And SO it comes that
girl is sometimes heard actually
thanking a man for asking her to dance.
Her proper attitude should be that Of
granting favor. The man, etoo often,
becomes infected by her view of the
case,. and is rather cavalier in his own
manner.
But these are trifing things and will
amend themselves. The great thing is

Where Feminine Fancy Lights
OF THE CORSET DEAD

New Haven, April 1s.-Mrs. Lavina
and became the wealthiest woman in
Connecticut from the golden stream
which poured in uron her as her re-
ward, died here today, SO years old.
Her estate is estimated. worth about
two million dollars, and it is believed
that practically all of it will be inner
tied by her only son, General George
H. Harmon. Mrs. Foy has already
given away fortune for charity, her
largest public gift being the Foy audi
torium Of this city. She was known
as "Mme. Foy,' and in her youth
was widely known as lecturer on
health and dress reform. Her death
was unexpected, as she enjoyed excel
lent health in spite Of her advanced
years. A slight attack Of heart trouble
carried her away. Mrs. Foy was the
daughter Of the Rev. Henry jerks of
Hudson, n. Y.
Her first husband was Marvin Har-
mon, her second James III. Foy. Two
years ago a Yale sophomore, James
Hurd, announced his engagement to
MTS. roy. tie nad become acquainted
with her while caring for the furnaces
in the Foy homestead, a job given him
to help him earn his college education.
She admitted that she loved the young
man, and preparations for the wedding
were begun.
General Harmon, her son, had been
away from home when the love affair
of the student, young enough to be his
son, was started with his mother, but
he ordered the undergraduate out Of the
house. Dean Wright Of the university
broke up the match by telling the
young man that Yale would not coun-
tenance any such doings, and that he
would be expelled if he did not end the
match. So young Hurd withdrew from
the field.

When the children wished to read something secular

Tucks and pleats continue to form
and adorn the separate blouse. A
pretty idea is introduced in one of the
newest waists, the one shown, in the
way of tucks resembling a cuff on the
sleeve. The waist is made Of chiffon
staffetas in an old blue. A plain stitched
yoke comes down to fanciful point
in front and back, giving place to a
lace panel and collar in tucker effect.
Narrow tucks occupy the space between
