SECOND DAY OF p. w. L. BAZAAR.

The Professional Woman's League has decloeo 10
let the jewels of Mrs Eleanor Merron CoWper, the
woman who recently committed suicide III the
Hotel St Regis, go TO the woman who claims 10
be her mother At the second day of the bazaar at
the Waldorf-Astoria yesterday. DR.. Ida C. Mann
said there seemed doubt that the woman really
was Mrs. Cowpers mother. But as the mother
probably would have difficulty IN disposing OF Ihe
Jewels in the little where she lives. the league
will sell them for her. They are hoping that some
one will make generous bid.
The most popular Individual at the bazaar yes
terday was Boy a dachshund, contributed by Miss
Jarbeau. He is about two inches high and toot
long and is dressed in ample red bow.
slight unrest in his manner is probably due to the
fact that he doesn't know who is going to be his
master-or mistress Like everything else in the
