New York, Feb %.-Society folk are
discussing the disclosures In the 1903 So

diminutiOn Of % per cent in the marriages
among persons OF high social standing.
Not a few agree that II Master Cupid
would regain his former position in the
smart set he VIII have to get a move on.
The cause that led TO the marked de-
crease IN the number Of marriages among
those whose names appear in the Social
Register in this city are practically the
same as those responsible for a general
dimiEUtion Of per cent among the elite
in the various other large cities OF the
united States covered by the Spcial
Registers Association. II Is said the
panic Of 1901 had much 10 do with II. as
Master Cupid has found little work IN
the homes Of the rich and near-rich
since the big crash in finances There
has been a reaction, however. but Il has
come too late 10 remedy Master Cupid's
poor showing in the 1909 Register.
There are Q COO names in the new So
cial Register for this city The number
OF marriages noted were SD. as against
rs for last year. A marked increase Is
shown in the number Of children between
the ages Of thirteen and seventeen whose
names appear in the book for the first
time
The death rate in this and other cities
shows little change In the various cities
covered SIS women and 75S men died last

The subject Of the suitably OF a

1t is estimated that 1000 leads we're
received by the various factories,
amounting to at least 3.000,000
pounds. In addition about 100000
pounds we're sold on the loose floors.
The factories are now crowded to
their full capacity. The Imperial
Tobacco Co. is still receiving but is
notifying all that after this week
no more tobacco can be received I'M
til Jan. 10. The cold weather is
causing big falling off in receipts

We allude of course to your baby.
1t is proper that you should believe
it totally without an equal, because
that insures proper concern for its
welfare.
We must, in a measure, look after
the welfare of hundreds of babies,
because we supply a variety of aFti-
eles needed for their health and pro-
lection.
We feel our responsibility in this
matter and you will go far to end
