PRACTICE MOST COMMON
AMONG THE WELL-TO-DO
Author Of pessImisiiC Article
Draws GlOOmy Conclusions
From Array Of Figures

New York, Nov. S.-Frederick l.
Hoffman, in an article entitled The
Suicide Record Of 1905. in the Spec
tator. asserts that the suicide rate
iIAreased 10 an unusual degree last
year, and expresses the belief that
suicide IS becoming more common
among the wel-educated and wellto-
DO.
Mr.. Hoffman tabulates the suicide
statistics OF sixty-sive cities in the
United states. He says that against
the rate 1873 per 100000 Of population
in 1907, the rate fos 1908 was 2l.S, or
higher by more than one point tnan
the exceptionally high rate OF 1904
OF 20.7.
The article draws the following
conclusions:
From every point Of view-moral,
social and economic--thc increase in

''An analysts of individual cases OF
suicide would seem to sustain the con
cusion that the increase in suicidal
frequency affects principally the we'll

elements Of the population, rather
than the unfortunate. the ignorant and

cases also reveals the facts Of a
close connection between suicide and
and crime in all It's phases, parteul

lous character, committed by men IN

Finally, there is positive evidence
Of mental and physical deterioration

just where it had stood on the night
she went away.
With a deep drawn sigh Of relief
Marjorie threw herself into a chair to
rest and collect herself before proceed
ing to her own room.
After all, she reflected, it was
whole lot better to be at home with
it out alone somewhere else. whatever
the temptation or inducement. She
had stuck it out and won. Others had
tried the same thing and lost. The re-
suit was pretty near the same In any
event, she argued, flushed now with
the mere joy Of her Homecoming.
She wondered vaguely il her par
ents could by any possibility fail to
forgive the waywardness which had
taken her away to do battle, single
handed, in the great world Of need and
struggle? The parting had been very
bitter, so bitter that she tried not to
recall it any oftener than she was
plant results she was bringing home
to them, would they compensate for
her disobedience?
During the two months just passed
she had heard little or nothing from
either of them in her continued pas
sage from place to place. Had she con-
fided the real motive behind her des-
perate ambition things might have
been different, but there are some soul
secrets too dear and too sacred almost
to be held in communion with ones
own thoughts.
All at once a. whole army Of clocks
began to strike 6, and innumerable
whistles in every key shrieked a per-
emptory warning Of the hour.
Marjorie started from her reveries in
alarm and, quietly crossing the length
Of the hallway. moved up the deep
carved and carpeted staircase.
The door Of her sitting room stood
ajar, and she entered noiselessly, de-
posting her bag and parcel on the
familiar little spider legged table that
held the students lamp. Then she
threw herself down into the old fash
toned rocker that stood invitingly near
and began to draw OF her gloves. For
the moment a rush Of feeling dimmed-
her eyes so that she could not see.
But in little while she pulled herself
together and glanced about critically,
noting that nothing apparently had
been disturbed. Everything was just
as she was accustomed to have tt
every picture, every book.
She bent toward the reading table
with a sudden heart throb. There lay
