go. Even those members who had not

The officers of the camp were delight

enthusiasm manifested. Among those
present were members whose faces had
almost become forgotten. Several of
these admitted they had difficulty in
finding the hall. Others revealed de-
plorable ignorance when ritualistic
work was conducted.
All Stayed to the End.
But the meeting was highly success

ALL A MATTER OF INCHES.
Woman's Increased Height Makes Ha{
Superior to Man.

I wonder IL the love ideals of won
anhood are changing with the sex
which is certainly in a transition
state. At one time it was rare event
for woman to marry a man much
younger than herself; now it is a com
mon one. Not so very long ago, in heI
secret heart, the unattached maiden
rather longed for a master to whom
she might play the part of admiring
and adoring satellite; but in the pres
ent year of grace she prefers to be
sovereign herself, and to have prime
minister who is useful and subordin-
ate. Can this change be in any way
due to the superior inches Of the mod
ern woman? A difference must in
evitably exist between the day dreams
Of the six-foot something and the day
dreams of flve-foot nothing Only the
other evening, at q concert, l was

BUSINESS IS RETARDED
Financial Stress at New York Re-
Heved, but the Interior Now Feels
the StripgenCy.

New York, Nov. 16.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Liberal receipts of gold from abroad
and large increase in bank note cir
culation tend to relieve the financial
stress at New York, but the interior
is now feeling the scarcity of curren-
cy, and commercial activity Is retard-
ed TO some extent. Dispatches from
leading cities indicate conservatism
in preparation for future business, and
irregularity in collections. with most
favorable news from agricultural sec
tons in which the crops are being mar
keted as freely as the supply of mon
ey Will permit. Return to normal con-
dltions will be FASTENED by large ex-
ports of farm staples supplying credits
abroad.
Financial pressure has affected the
iron industry, curtailing new contracts
for all forms of finished steel Few
new orders have been received by the
mills. and some deliveries on old con
tracts are deferred because funds are
not available TO meet specifications.

NEW FIGHT FOR GIRLS
Philocalians Of New York
Give up Hansoms and

New York, Nov. 15-Believing many
young women are being led astray by
following what they conceive to be the
practices of women in fashionable life
DR.. Adelaide Wallerstein of sos West
Eightieth street and twenty three 9th
er women have founded the Publication
club to wage a crusade against girls
who ride from the theater in hanson
cabs, drink highballs, and wear decol-
lette gowns and openwork waists
DR.. Wallerstein is enthusiastic over
the movement, but while she and her
associates are anxious it shall accom-
plish much good she does not want to
be called reformer
Say anything YOU please about the
club. but please do not call me a re-
former" she said in speaking of the
new organization.

woman should prepare a dainty little

1T is not that we lack confidence
