Women With Artistic Fads.

Every woman has a fad, if one had
time to look into the subject. Collect
ing curios is the most widespread, and
the mor novel the article collected
the more famous will be the cleaner.
But certain women have fads on fin
er points. There is Mrs. Serene
Payne, rarely seen in society and new
er talked of over the teacups, who
prides herself on discrimination in
books. Mrs. Payne would make an ex-
cellent reviewer. She reads indefa-
tigably, and she has a faculty of pick
ing out good points and predicting
whether a book will become popular.

An absurdly worded statement of q

The services were conducted by q

How is 1t possible. then, to bring home

speak for themselves and that can not

JOHN DIS LEAD FOLLOWED.
Mrs. Sage and Carnegie Offer Millions
to Fight Disease.

Washington, Nov. 6.-Following the
donation of $1,OOO,OO0 by John D.
Rockefeller to be used in fighting the
hookworm disease in the south, the of.
ficials of the treasury and public health
and marine hospital service have re-
ceived information that two other
$1,0OO,0 900 donations will be forthcoming
very soon. One is from Mrs. Russell
Sage, to be used in extending work for
the eradication of tuberculosis; the
other from Andrew Carnegie for fight
ing pellagra, the mysterious disease that
has baffled scientists.
The understanding is that these sums
will be placed at the disposal of the
same general authorities associated with
the public health and marine hospital
service. The latter would not give a
positive confirmation of the reports.
but in other quarters it was learned
that there is the best of reason for the
expectation that these sums will be
given, and that the announcement will
come very soon.
