MRS. LONGWORTH A REBEL
Her Social Declaration of Independence
May Upset All Precedent in Wash
ington Next Winter.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4-If reports
from Washington be true the coming
winter will see changes in the time
bound etiquette Of social and official life
of the capital that will make the hair
of the old timers rise with Amusement.
1t seems that Mrs. Longworth has al
ready declared herself. One fruit of her
trip abroad is her newborn conviction
that a married woman should retain her
s'rank' as her fathers daughter.
As the case now stands, Mrs. Long
worth ranks not as the daughter of the
head Of the nation but as the wife of
q minor representative in Congress. Mrs.
IongWorth will emancipate herself and
incidentally all the others i'll Washing
ton society who do not approve of exist
ing conditions.
Last winter Lady Susan Townley,
wife of the first secretary of the British
embassy, set the ball a-rolling, and she
attained a sort of success i'll her aspira
tions. Lady Susan is the daughter of
the late Earl and sister of the present
Earl Of Albemarlc and she stood on her
rights. She refused to be rated as the
wife of n small diplomat, and in many
houses she succeeded in getting the place
of honor at the table.
Mrs. Longworth will, of course, recog-
nize the pretensions of Lady Susan and
In acknowledging such Il precedent will
get her own case up for trial.
PARIS. Aug. 4.-Congressman and
Mrs. Nicholas Longworth today sailed

other gifts, among which was an enor-
nous basket of fruit sent by Ambassa-

The disaster occurred almost in sight

The Sirio sailed from Genoa on Aug

100 Spaniards. Buenos Ayres was the

FOR A TWITCHING HAND.
It's Said That the Grapple Swing Will
Cure the Trouble.

Hand trembling, an atiiiction akin to
"writcrs' cr&mp," is apt to result from
the long continued exercise Of certain
muscles and the neglect of others.
The worst feature of the trouble, ac-
cording to HealthCulturc, is its trick of
coming on at the very time when steadi-
ness Of hand would be most desirable
The twitch of a map finishcr's muscles
may throw national frontier 100 miles
out of treaty lines; type words may get
glued together like the nouns of the
NOlapuk craze.
Hot baths afford only temporary re-
lief; drugs might as well be prescribed
to Il sufferer: but there is one never
failing mechanical specihc-the grapple
swing cure.
Procure couple of iron rings-say,
five inches i'll diameter-and fasten them
high enough to keep an superintendent
feet off the ground when he attempts to
dangle by one hand for a second or two.
Practice will raise his score to half q
minute, and by that time the tremors
will have vanished for the next half
year,
