Mrs. Potter Palmer Has Rivals.

Mrs. Potter Palmer, Chicago's So
cial leader, has many ambitious riv-
ais, says the Delineator. She first as
serted her right to her present posi-
tion in society during the famous fair
of 1893.
A Worlds Fair, it will be perceived
by now, meant more back in the last
century than it means to-day. At all
events, Mrs. Palmer proved her right
then to her life crown. She has worn
it, never arrogantly, but always with
the most delicate tact, a gift of the
gods which never deserts her, how
ever trying the hour. In new state
of society, the social arbiter is called
upon for the most sudden decisions,
which, more often than not, reach
farther than the eye of man can dis
Germ, and Mrs. Palmer has made her
full share of them, all distinguished
for good sense and for level percep-
tions. Chicago society women, how
ever, are daring enough to be the
one body in the known world to cast
the shadow of a doubt on Mrs. Palm
er's prestige in her home town. And
since they cannot beat her at her
world game, which started far back
in 1898, that memorable year when
social lines were drawn in Chicago
for practically the first time, Chicago
women have been attempting to de-
eide the question, at least to put the
question to popular vote, by means OF
charity. 1t is an odd condition of af.
Iairs, something peculiar to Chicago
and it has grown to such proportions
that the coming winter may see the
death blow dealt to the charity fet'
in Chicago.

POSTAGE REDUCED.

Washington, d. C.-PostmasterGen-
eral Meyer announced that an agree
ment mad been reached with the Brit.
ish government providing for letter
postage of 2 cents an ounce between

nouncement to the house of commons.
The matter of a penny postage"
as it is called in England, has been
under consideration for some time and
as far back as last July President
Roosevelt approved Mr.. Meyers
course in urging restricted union
with England"
At Berlin, Germany, high Official
of the German postoffice was ques-
toned regarding the possibility OF ex.
tending this reduction to Germany,
He expressed himself as in favor OF
the idea, but he pointed out the tinan.

States and Germany would suffer
should such a reduction with Germany
be carried out.

The Guest Book Useful.

Ihe GueSt BOOK Ose1ul.
The ordinary guest book Is now
matter of most country homes, but
many hostesses with love of novelty
prefer to have their friends visit re-
corded in a more distinctive way than
by their signatures and the date Of
the visit, says the Washington Star.
One clever young matron has
book that is not only an unfailing
source Of interest to every one who
sees it, but helps her out in many a
tight place when at loss to remem-
ber little idiosyncrasies of her
friends.
One evening, when a merry house
party was playing that childish game
where each player writes down her
favorite pursuit, food, amusement
and so forth, the tastes of her friends
were found to be so varied that a
bright idea came to this hostess.
why not utilize this information
for my own benefit" she thought.
I'm constantly having guests in the
country and am often at my wits
ends to remember their personal likes
and dislikes. I'll just start a guest
book, leave a small space for the
name and make each of my friends
write down the things she most cares
for and dislikes."
Not being able to buy suitable
book, she took heavy white Irish lin
en- paper of commercial size, 9x12
inches, and bound many sheets of 1t
firmly together, between heavy card
board backs, covered with gay fiow-
cred cretonne.

Great Woman Leader.

Upon the shoulders of the Rev.
Anna Shaw has fallen the mantle of
the great leaders of the past, and she
Is wearing 1t with honor. OF New
England stock, she came naturally by
her bold willingness to advocate in
public, even at the cost of sacrifices,
those principles she deemed just.
First she aspired to be full fledged
pastor in the Methodist Episcopal
Church, and when ordination was
denied her she fought till she OBJ

Why American Men Choose American
Wives.

wives.
A sarcastic contemporary of Goth
am submits this problem to its
readers and asks for light: Queer,
isn't it, that although half the aris-
tocracy of Europe is now American
on it's mothers side, it hasn't yet oc-
Cured to any American man to cap
ture and bring home a European
duchess, countess, princess or any,
thing like that"
1t isn't so queer" however, when
one comes to think about it. The
average American man is usually
blessed with fair degree Of common
sense and has the bump of discrimi-
nation and appreciation highly &C.
yeloped. He knows that the Ameri-
can woman, with all her faults, and
especially her weakness for title, Is
the most charming of all the daugh-
ters of Eve. Being wise, therefore,
the American man takes unto him
self an American wife, and makes
her happy ever afterward If she is
reasonable being az. does not
dream of castles in Spain and cha
teaux in France.
1t is a fact which we consider in
controyertIble that the American man
is like certain ancient prophets-not
without honor-save in his own coun-
try. The American woman is so ac-
customed to his attentions, his un-
failing courtesy, his willingness to
"go way back and sit down" when
she desires it, that she takes his
chivalrous Difference to her in all
things as the admission of inferiority.
1t is only when she purchases duke
or count and goes to Europe to
live and finds man absolutely the
master in the Old World that she
realizes the Incompatible qualities
of the American man as a husband
and companion.

Wives to Travel at Half Price.

Under a new Norwegian railway
regulation, when husband and wife
are travelling together the wife need
only pay half price. The idea may
simply be to encourage family life,
on the theory that Norwegian who
normally leaves his wife at home will
be tempted to take her along at re-
duced rates. 1t will, of course, be
necessary, when taking a husband
and-wife ticket, to display ones mar
riage certificate and make an affida-
Wit that the lady is ones wife, in or
der to prevent collusion at the book
ing office between perfect strangers.

Milwaukee Free Press, March T.,
1908: That Congressman Nelson's re-
cent speech, in which he attacked the
rules of the house and demanded their
revision, has reached the attention of
the president was made plain today
when MIR. Nelson called at the White
house to present two Wisconsin
friends to the chief executive.
John Grinde and L. A. Coleman of
Madison being in town, Mr.. Nelson
suggested presenting them to Mr..
Roosevelt. Although it was cabinet
day, the rule against visitors was
stretched to admit the party, and the
visitors were fortunate enough to be
in time to meet all the members of
the cabinet.
When they came to the president,
reference was made to the recent ad-
dress by Mr.. Nelson, and the presl-
dent promptly taking Mr.. Nelson by
botn hands, said:
"Yes, l want to thank Mr.. Nelson,
especially for that speech. It came
to my attention, and | want you to
know that I am more than apprecia-
tive of It,.
