SOMETHING
ABOUT HER

iXH of the women's college OF the Uni
AiA versity of Washington at Seattle,
has incurred the obligation of the world
for several generations to come. After
two or three generations have extended
their profuse thanks in the most gener-
Gus manner to Miss Weed, and after
four or five other generations have
eulogized her and dedicated their poems
to her the debt will have seen the be-
ginning of its payment. Miss Weed has
confided to the world that rich school
girls sometimes spend 81 pair for
silk stockings Many scientific prob
lens will now be pipes" In their solu-
tion, and horde of sociological puzzles
that have bafhed the sociological guns
since the birth of sociology will now
show up as clear as crystal. Miss
Weeds statistics, which include the
outlandish outlay for other feminine
necessities, are based on investigation
at a fashionable New York private
school attended by thirty-nine pupils.
Silk stockings-school girls-$2 pair.
Public libraries with vacant hooks
should hurry to procure bust of Miss
Weed before all the unchipped ones are
taken.

exact census of her children. After

able to tell about the rest, but the census
man told her that she had done un-
usually well, and bade her weep no
more.

the Palace theater Of Alfred Butt, she
has outshone all the artists who have
preceded her. Jaded London has en-
Enthusiastically pronounced her wonder.
Assisted by Michael Mordkin and
chorus of "premieres danseuses," she
has created a sensation among the
cold-blooded Rritons that is nothing
short of astonishing. The audiences
have been hysterical in showing their
approval, and spectators stand In their
chairs, wave their handkerchiefs and

the custody of the mother, although the
father is to be allowed to see her at
all reasonable times. When the girl
has reached the age of the father and
mother are to confer regarding the
childs education and general welfare.
The divorce touches the sentiment of
all playgoers. The sweet character and
the beautiful voice of Mary Mannering
have won her the love of all who have
seen her. She and her husband were
extremely popular when they appeared
together several years ago. II there
had been no child the divorce would
have had its very sad features; with
the child II is one of the saddest sep
arations that admirers of theatrical
folk have known in many years.

Mrs. William r. Coe, daughter of the
late II. II. Rogers, the Standard OIL
man, has been having trouble with her
butler George Tapley. Mrs. Coe was
i'll the other day, and the butler, being
evidently OF a rude sort, became satu-
rated with spirits more or less intoxi-
eating in their influence and disturbed
Mrs. Coe. 1t is not known just how
many of the dishes he broke, but it is
understood that he ruined several, for
he was making a noise, and that is the
best possible way for a drunken
butler to make noise Tapley and
Mrs. Coe had had a difference 1t de-
veloped, about how much was due him
for wages. After that he became OBJ
steperous, perfectly natural thing for
a butler Of a rude sort to do after such
trouble.
