Mrs. Fiske's new role in Langdon
Witchell's play, THE New York Idea, %
that she Will act at Elks' theater on
May 20 is hat of an attractive and
volative young New YORK society
woman, brought up as too many of
her sisters are, with no thought for
the the realities and much for the fri
VOiltities of life. AS the true serious
ness Of marriage has never been
taught her nor has she found 1t con
sidered in the small circle in which
she has moVed-the circle that spells
society with a capital Sit is not sur
prising that she has. as she thinks,
divorced her husband, John Karslake,
for a trivial cause. AT heart, though
she refuses to admit it, she truly loves
Karslake, and has delighted in the eX-
element of following his racing stable
and taking an interest in the other
sports that divide his time and his law
practice. Nor is it surprising, in view
of the world she has moved in, that
she should have deemed it proper to
take "a new husband. but had marriage
meant more to her, she would never
haye chosen Philip Phillipore, twenty
years her senior, who combines the
conservatism of the old New York
aristoCraCy with a natural prOsiness
and a habitual ponderousness that be-
fits him officially as a justice OF the
supreme court. From the outset IL is
apparent that Cynthia is intensely
bored by her association with Philip
and his relatives and of whom she is a
guest until her marriage, set for the
day following the opening of the play. !
In her heart she longs for Jack though
she does not recognize the longing.
How hat longing grows and how at
the very moment of the ceremony. /

fever patients. This has suggested to
DR.. A. c. Heath novel filter, which
consists of two rings connected by
bridge, each ring having stretched
over 1t fine netting Of silk gauze. The
rings are to be worn in the nose, half
an inch from the openings. This de.
vice has been tried without discom.
fort in a number of severe cases OF
hay'fever, and the removal of pollen or
dust has invariably improved the
breathing within fifteen minutes to an

my Partners. the People" Carnegie
expresses the belief that a millionaire
ought to share his wealth with the
poor. but with the Limitation that his
fortune should not be divided before
the millionaire's death. Then the
community should expect large
share. Carnegie humbly deprecates
the claim of the merely wealthy to
fame. They have no place with the
educated man, and they occupy a
lower plane intellectually. In the
