Epistolary Afectation

MOT infrequently complaint is made in the
~ magazines and more conservative news
papers that the art of letter writing has been
lost; that the grace and charm as exempihed
in the correspondence of writers in other days
finds no parallel in this matter of fact period.
Answer is usually returned that the man or
woman of to-day is too busily engaged to
permit of their indulgence in the epistolary
affectations of olden times. Certainly the
letter writers of those days enjoyed the adj
vantage of great leisure. 1t is difficult other
wise to account for their prodigality of phras-
ing.
Lady Pomfret, we are told, presented to
Lady Hereford pair of alabaster vases, and
received in return letter of thanks fitted to
the times.
There is, wrote the recipient of the vases,
an elegance in them superior to anything l
ever saw; and yet, inestimable and beautiful
as they are in themselves, their being a mark
of your friendship enhances their value to me
even beyond their merit. l sit and look at
them with admiration for an hour together.

Too Much for Her Chief

THERE is a Cabinet officer at Washington
L who for long time greatly annoyed
by the incessant requests for promotion pre-
ferred by young woman in his department
who was a friend of his family.
One afternoon last winter she entered the
great mans office with the usual application.
Unfortunately, the head of the department
was in anything but a good humor that day.
So he hared up instantly
Upon my word" exclaimed he. you clerks

short, as if restraining himself. Then he burst
out again with. 81 wish to goodness YOU were
a man.
The young woman flashed glance at him
from particularly fine pair of eyes, and as
smile came to her handsome face she replied.
Mr. Secretary you are the first man who
ever wished that"
This was too much for the chief She got
her promotion.

Bruce Chick was entirely without awe in the

Even Lady Pomfret, who was herself a

a little abashed by her friends enthusiasm
You quite confound me, dear madam,
she replied, with the encomiums you bestow

HOSPITAL DEFENDED
IN FRANK MEADE CASE

DR.. Joseph I. Frey, senior inferno
of the Garfield Memorial Hospital, has

that time, but that the operation was
performed as soon as the patient had
recovered sufficiently. He succumbed
before the completion of the opera

Referring to the charge that the hos

ambulance for Meade. DR.. Frey saws
that the hospital has not had an am
