THE GENTLE SEX
Cigars For Yankee Girls?
NeVerl

one idea metropolitan matrons and
maids have borrowed from their RUS
sian sisters will. it's 70 be hoped. meet
an early death. It Is nothing less than
cigar smoking. Revolutionists have
the vogue in the land Of the Great
White Car these days. and the new
born spirit OF freedom perhaps is re
sponsible for women of the untitled
classes aping thewealxnesses OF the no.
bility. Smoking cigars is one OF those
foibles, and until recently it was COM
fined, even In Russia. TO the reckless
DANES who would rather be talked
about than respected-the sort that
constitute the coteries centering about
the Grand Dukes. True. the idea isn't
altogether as bad here as Il is In st.
Petersburg, for there. travellers say,
women OF fashion pun paneteas and
conchas whereas no Yankee has as yet
has ventured versing existing condi-
lions. They would prove repugnaut
to American ideals. and true admirers
OF beauty doubtless viii pray fondiy
that the fad never may become a GUS
tom. Fancy New York women becom-
ing such devotees to the weed that,
reversing existing conditions. they
would protest vigorously against their
husbands buying their cigars for them!

Fous WifeIy Rules

When the wife Of General Booth. OF
Salvation Army fame. married. she laid
down for herself four rules which she
faithfully carried out. They are so ex-
cehent that here they are for the sake
Of those who desire to rightly use their
matrimony:
THE first was never to have any Sc
crets from her husband in anything
that affected our mutual relationship OF
the interests Of the family
THE second rule was never to have
two purses, thus avoiding even the
temptation OF having any secrets OF a
domestic character.
MY third principle was that in mat
ters where there was any difference OF
opinion. would show my husband my
views. and the reasons on which they
were based, and try TO convince him IN
favor OF my way Of looking at the sub
ject. This generally resulted in either
his being converted to my views. or IN
my being converted to his. either re-
suit securing unity of thought and ac-
ton.
My fourth rule was, IN case of dif-
ference Of opinion. never to argue in
the presence of the children. ! thought
it better even TO submit at the time &c
what / might consider "a mistaken
judgment rather than have a contro-
versy before them. But II occasion
arose, took the first opportunity foi
arguing the matter out"

High School. and editor of the High
School Echo. published by the students.
was found dead in his room. having
been overcome by gas that was escap-
ing from a pipe from which the cap
had been removed.
The boy had stuffed rags in the key
hole Of the door and placed clothing
at the bottom TO keep the gas from
penetrating into the hall. He was sit
ting in a chair when found, with his
completed examples I'm algebra lying OH
a table by his side.
Among the papers on the table were
a number OF poems which he had bound
into book form. All Of them were ad-
dressed to one Of his girl friends in the
high school.
Young Burgess voluntarily left home
two years ago to make his own way
through school. He rented a room and
supported himself by taking care OF fur
naces and doing other work in the
evenings and mornings.
He wanted TO be a professor in some
college and wished to get an education
by his own effort. He was frequently
respondent and is supposed to have
planned death when in one OF these
moods.

China For Shirt Waist
Sets

New York girls do not a little design
ing themselves along the lines OF orna-
mentation, and one OF the newest ideas
sprang from the brain OF a Burden
girl. Miss Burden concluded that.
amid the wealth OF precious metals
and Jewels used for belt buckles and
shirt waist sets. other materials were
being neglected woefully, so she decided
to employ china as a relief from the
eternal glitter Of the too-popular gold
and silver prctties. In consequence
china sets promise to be favorites this
winter. especially for morning wear
Don't jump to the idea, however. thai
they are inexpensive. on the contrary
they are made Of the most delicate
china, and their cost mounts high. The
shirt waist set includes, Of course. cun
buttons. pins for the blouse and q
square belt buckle Of large size. All
the patterns are OF fairy dimensions
and most Of them in faint tints The
sets look smart enough with the gowns
Of rough silk worn in the forenoon. Miss
Burdens favorite frock Of that kind IS
a golden brown and the china set that
goes with It is adorned with golden
rod

Portraits of Babies

Have you ordered the babys mini
allure painted?" society matrons are
asking each other just now, for a fresa
impulse has been given TO this por-
traiture by the commission which a
famous miniaturist in London has re-
ceived to paint the little Prince Olaf.
This royal youngster, who was lately
the hero OF the hour i'm children-loving
England, where he took himself with
teh utmost gravity. VIII never he rs
cunning as he is now. and should be
inmortalized in an imperlshable pic
ture
The painter. whose art is capable Of
wonderful depth and feeling in its re-
fnement of technique and vivid char
aeterization. will soon proceed TO Chris
tiania to fiji the order. Many import
ant infants have lately been painted
in miniature with some pet, this
charming group being greatly favored
by those who wish to perpetuate the
hope OF the family and a pet dog.
Mothers, however. who haven't the
money to lavish on such treasures. are
coNSenting themselves with art photo
graphs, which are very essential to the
preservation Of childhoods hour.

BIDS RECEIVED
FOR AMBULANCE
Phoenix Fire Company Ex-
poets Soon TO Have Double
Service in Operation

Now that City Council has taken
favorable action on the petition Of the
Phoenix Fire Company for an addi-
tional appropriation Of $500. with
which 70 install and maintain a double
ambulance service. the members Of that
company expect TO 90 ahead with the
project. and In a short time, place an
order for an up-to-date ambulance
wagon. Bids have already been re-
ceived for a vehicle OF this description
and they range from $1,000 to $1,000.
While Council has signined its inten-
ton to grant the request, the proviso
lis made that the appropriation will
not be allowed until the funds of the
city will permit the expenditure. Yet
the Phoenix members, knowing that
.another ambulance is an absolute ne
cessity. do not fear that the money
will not be forth coming when the
new service is put in operation. They
have I'm mind. however, the fact that
they maintained AN ambulance in VIII
mington four years, before the appro-
priation for Il was granted. The COM
pany is now in such a condition, that
IL would be unable 70 again do this.
and in consequence, they expect the
appropriation as soon as the second
ambulance Is placed in service.

Under the hands of sklllful artisans
the work of constructing the new and
