KAISER'S! SUIT.
litable Sums Up Losses Through Insurance Scandal.
l'CURDY PARTY LEAVES FOR EUROPE
Justice Peclham Declared It Would Be an lnexcusnble Mistake If 'sthe Chief Delinquent" Was Al-
 lowed to Quit Country.

: ' E
 NEW YORK, March 1.--While the New York Life trustees and those of the Mutual Life were in special ses- sion today to discuss the Armstrong committee report Richard A. McCurdy, with his son-in-law, Lewis A. Thebaud, was on the ocean bound for Europe.
 The two insurance men, with their wives and several servants, left Nor ristown,' N. J., last night and boarded the Hamburg American steamship Amerika at its pier at Hoboken The Amerika sailed at 9 o'clock this morn ing.
 The Equitable directors have taken account of the wounds inflicted upon the society's finances by the scandal which took the society from Hyde and gave it to Ryan.
 The figures made public are interest ing. There was loss of $81, 1,000,O0O in the amount of new business written during 1905 as compared with the year before. Policy holders gave up poli- cles having cash value of 1O,862, ,075, which sum the society paid. This is more than $7,OOOOOO more than was expended for the same purpose in 1904.
 Notwithstanding these figures the so- ciety by some method makes it's "out- standing insurance" on Dec. 31 last only $30,OO0,0OO less than it was on Dec. 31. 1904.
 The several examinations of the so- ciety" in the last year cost 1t $505, ,152.
 The warning of Justice Rufus W. Peckham that former President Me Curdy ought not to be allowed to leave the country has apparently had no effect, and he sailed today on the Hamburg-American liner Amerika.
 Justice Peckham, speaking of the plundering of the Mutual, declared Mir. McCurdy was ''the chief delinquent and that ''it would be an inexcusable mistake for the Mutual Life to allow him to leave this country without the commencement of an action against him to recover the money he may owe it."
 MT. McCurdy has engaged "the i'm perial suit" for his trip and also has arranged for special dining table during the voyage. The imperial suit is the most expensive on board and is to be used by the German emperor should he wish to make trip in the Amerika.

Woman's Strange Mania.

One of the strangest cases of klep- tomania ever brought to light was heard of in Paris. A certain woman had such passion for smoking and for coloring meerschaum pipes that she had been for long time stealing pipes of this description from shops. In the flat which she occupied there were found no fewer than 2,O00 pipes, not one of which, it is' believed, she had paid for. {.

ETIQUETTE AND BUSINESS.
While Business Woman Is Exempt from Certain Tormalities, She Is
 Expected to Observe Some.

The rigidity governing the code of manners for the polite world has had to be considerably altered since the advent of the business woman, for, despite her long hours of work, she often holds q certain position in society, but she is ex- empt from certain formalities. The business woman is not entirely freed from social duties as is the American business man, and some few observances of the ceremonies of convention still ara expected of her, but she is not tied down to severe rules as is the case with her idle sister, says Margaret Hubbard Ayres, in the New York World. The business woman who is at work all day long must of necessity be exempt from formal social calls, such as should he paid between the hours of and 5:3O in the afternoon, for it is always as- sumed that she is busy during these hours excepting on Sunday.
 She reserves Sunday for calls of pleas. ure, rather than ceremony.
 The business woman invited to din. ner cannot always pay her dinner call on her hostess within the prescribed time. She therefore sends a note of thanks within couple of days after tho dinner.
 Notes are frequently substituted by the woman for personal calls and it is necessary for her to have her dainty sta- tionery free from the slightest trace or suggestion of her profession.
 Great punctuality in the matter of her notes of appreciation excuses the busi- ness woman from calls and visits that she has not the time to attend to.
 She can keep in touch with her world through these graceful missives and at the same time courteously furnish ex- cuses for any seeming delinquency.
 There are many occasions when the business woman can only send cards in- stead of leaving them in person.
 The business woman also sends cards to her intimate friends and to those to whom she is under obligations, announc. ing the change in her home address.
 The business woman observes the same rule as aman in never confounding her business with her personal card, which should only bear her home ad- dress. <...
 The business woman also sends her card with a few words of inquiry or good feeling in the case of some illness or mis- fortune which may have befallen an ac- quaintance.
 The business woman observes a cer- tain amountof formality in her business relations; thus, she does not send in card with her personal address when making a business call on a man; nor does she shake hands with a business acquaintance unless he is also per- sonal friend.
