mo Dogs Received Here" is a sign dis
played in many OF the best hotels in this
country
The Bellevue tratford which is owned
by Boldt, of the Waldorf-Astoria, New
York, has taken down that sign.
In one corner of the roof of this hotel
a resting place for dogs owned by human
guests. has been arranged. The accom-
mediation for dogs cannot be called a
Kennel" because that vulgar word does
not describe 1t.
The apartments for dogs are on tho
roof only because high-bred dogs will be
permitted to occupy them.
Minced chicken and pate de foie gras
will be served to the dogs on the roof at
the moderate prices on the menu in the
dining room, where the dogs owners re-
fresh themselves.
Chambermaids will make the dogs beds
of straw, of course II dog barks
hoarsely, the Waterman on tn dog watch
will telephone to the nearest veterinary
hospital for a physician.
This innovation has been made because
many aristocratic guests arriving at the
hotel have seemed panied to be parted
from their dogs.

"Dona Blanca Is of Belgian descent,

children, to whom she is wholly devoted,

with her little ones. In Nicaragua, the
Presidents wife does not give public re-

Dona Blanca once said to me. Why
should we? 1t Is not our place We

The so-called new woman has not yet
appeared In this tropical country. and
think she is not apt to for many years
to come. for there are strong social and
religious prejudices which prevent her
advent. The life of our Nicaraguan girl
is happy one in many respects She

coffee or chocolate and is out for her

ordinary American girl is awake. Re
turning home, she is busily engaged the

Skyscraninn Rides.

From the New York Press.
Out in Chicago all the best lawyers,
doctors and dentists are in big skyscrap-
ers, and the higher you go the better
they get so all the men and women and
children are waited skyward, and the
faster the elevators go the better they
like it. In the Masonic Temple are about
the fastest elevators in the world. and
the startes have all kinds of trouble with
mothers and nurses bringing children In
to pinch free rides. which Chicago chill
dren cry for. Lots of cranks in New
York have never been in an elevator or
in an automobile.
One more or less trustworthy test of
mental health is how the brain behaves
in an elevator. In some the mind be-
comes weird. feeling the instinct of the
abyss This feeling is a good warning
of nervous prostration.

of high rank. admitting them to that part
of the hall reserved for members of the
royal family. Less distinguished guests
were given white tickets. Through some
mistake, an important public man re-

When the couple reached the audi

inasmuch as the lady firmly declined to

out the dreadful consequences that would
follow a minsling of blue and white.
