Death in BARRIERS Chair.
From tue New York Press

only forty city BARRIERS in London have
certiQcates OF Cleanliness. IL is optional
with them to take out licenses This
proves that the average Londoner doesn't
care much about the barber shop he visits.
Testimony in coroner's court in East Lon
don last week brought out that in 1905
only twenty-one city BARRIERS had certif-
Gates. and that the number was increased
to forty last May. The inquest was on a
man who died from blood poisoning after
a barber had cut his chin. A Bellevue
Hospital physician tells me that at least
ten men a year die In New York from
razor poisoning"

The idea of utilizing old horse tramway
cars for consumptive patients has been
carried into practical operation In Leith.
In a field with southern exposure near the
Pilton Hospital for Infectious Diseases four
old cars have been stationed. Very little
has been done to them. Merely the window
glass has been knocked out on the south

two hunks On the top of the cars the fixed
seats are cleared of and garden chairs
placed ready for the patients when the

deal more than 1t promised With a blank
or two on the calendar at the outset the
engagement books were written full be-
fore the close of the week. For the most
part things were impromptu, but none
the less elaborate, for that, and among
the score or more luncheons given during
the week were some of the smartest OF
the spring. With few exceptions these
were given for visiting women, Mrs. Louis
Jaques of Chicago, nee Anna ri circuit,
and Mrs. George Thomas of St. Paul, who
has been the guest of Mrs. H. d. Nicely,
having been the most complimented. The
dinner and dance at the Field club Satur-
day evening were well attended and by
the way, infinitely more comfortable af-
fairs than the opening a week ago. There
are few, even among the most amiable,
who really enjoy crowd, but the opening
night was literally a crowd. The rules re-
garding guests were iagrantly violated,
with the result that the inconsdeTate
members will transgress in the future at
the risk of emba rrassment to themselves
and their guests. 1t has even been suggested
that such violations of rules be made pun
ishable by suspension from the club, and
that suggestion has met the approval of
many.

women to put into practice the art Of rid

of their attention and time i'm the riding
school during the past season. The first
