WASHINGTON society is keenly in
w terested in the contemplated di-
vorce proceedings between the Count
and Countess Gizycki and is recalling
the unusual conditions under which
the engagement of the count and the
former Eleanor Patterson of Chicago
was made known.
When the parents of Miss Patterson
became convinced that their daughter
was serious in her attachment for the
Polish nobleman every effort was
made to put an end to the affair. This
was in 1903, soon after Miss Patterson
had returned from st. Petersburg,
where she had been visiting her aunt,
Mrs. Mccormick, wife of the then
American ambassador to Russia.
One day, without the slightest warn
ing, the count appeared in Washing
ton. Society was startled at the Ill
expected visit, but much more so
when Miss Patterson made a round
of visits to her particular friends and
announced her engagement to the
count.

SUN BATHS FOR NERVES.
Specialist Tells How Much Good They
Do Suffering Women.

Initiate your cat, madam, and take
a sun bath these spring mornings if
you want to get rid of your nerves"
said a Boston specialist to n of his
patients recently. See how lazy and
happy pussy looks as he stretches his
body and blinks his eyes in the morn
ing sun. If cats had nerve diseases
this would be the best thing in the
world to Ire them.
Every sanitarium has its sun room
now, but women ought not to wait till
they have reached the sanitarium
stage of breaking down before they in
dulge in anything as cheap as a sun
bath. Any woman who has a south
window and an easy chair can have a
sun bath every morning this spring If
she only determines to take it. If the
potatoes have to be peeled, or the
stockings darned, they a be done
during the sur bath, but the best way
of all is to take it just as the cat does,
in the LATEST fashion possible. Run
the shade way up to the sash, move
your chair within range of the sun
light and luxuriate for half an hour.
It's better than gallons of spring medi-
cine, and may save hours and hours
of d~ullness or staying in bed later on.

spot. They sit in it and vegetate for
hours at a time, scarcely winking the

There's no danger OF women vege-
tating these days, so it's quite safe to
advise one to sit in the sun as much
as she can. It's good for her anyway,
but especially so if she's nervous"

COMMENTING EDIroRIALLY on the men named
by the Governor to compose the Roads Com
mission the Baltimore NeUS says: THE selec-
ton of Mr.. Samuel M. Shoemaker is happy
one. Mr.. Shoemaker is the father Of good
roads building in this State and has had more
to do than any other one man in Maryland in
keeping alive interest in them and in creating
a sentiment for their extension. If the other
two members of the Board have been chosen
with similar regard to fitness, the Governor is
to be congratulated on inaugurating the work
of building State system of improved high
ways under most suspicious circumstances"

GOVERNOR CRoTHERs on Monday afternoon
settled the question of the Roads Commission
for Maryland, provided for by act of the last
Legislature. by naming the following gentle
men for that highly important Office: Mr..
John M. Tucker, of Cecil county, president;
Mr.. Samuel M. Shoemaker, of Baltimore
county; Mr.. Francis G. Hutton, of Montgom-
cry county DR.. Ira Remsen, of the Johns
Hopkins University, and DR.. VIM. Bullock
Clark, ofthe Maryland Geological Survey. The
Governor is an ex-oficio member of the Com
mission. The three first named gentlemen
are the only salaried members. The president,
Mr.. Tucker, will receive $500 year and the
other two 81, 900 each. Speaking of his appoin-
tees the Governor said: "Itook one man from
Baltimore county and one man from Mont
gomery county, as these were the two pioneer
counties in the road movement in Maryland.
From Cecil county took Mr.. Tucker, whose
qualifications are such as to make ii certain
that there will be economy and thrift in the
work. These three men with the two have

sen and DR.. Clark, ought, l think, to consti-
tute Commission that would not only prove
satisfactory to the people of the State, but in
sure the building of the roads without waste
and without graft \ This is the
peoples work and the people have right to
have it done by active, energetic, vigorous men,
who will guard their interests as they would
their own. This is no reflection upon any
engineer, but the fact is the people do not want
this work left in the hands Of any one man,
no matter how capable he may be as an engin-
eer. The people pay the money and the men
that spend it should be responsible to the peo-
pie. Therefore, separate and independent
Commission has been the thing that have
advocated from the start" Concluding the
