UNPREpARED FOR NEWS.
DR.. E. ]. Foster, Adopted Son, Surprised
at Report of Death

Waterbury, Dee 5.-Dr. Il. J. Foster
Eddy the adopted son Of Mrs. Mary
Baker g. Eddy, received the first word
az her death from a reporter of the
Associated Press yesterday He ex-
pressed himself as wholly nnprepared
for the news and said:
was not only not expecting Mrs.
Eddy 10 pass away, but was looking
for a further demonstration of her teach
ing. / do not wish to criticize but it
seems to me that there was lack of
mental or spiritual support which those
without her knowledge Of Christian
Science cannot understand
Mrs Eddy was the most wonderful
and lovable woman that the world has
ever known. and believe that her teach-
ings, rightly understood and demon
strlted, viii benefit mankind more than
any others ever known.
"The death OF the leader may be a
stumbling block to some members of the
church, but the ranks are so strongly
fortified that the work will be carried
on without disiutegration. This is the
severest blow that Christian Science has
received"
DR.. Foster further said that unless
Mrs. Eddy made some special provision
for the disposal Of her estate, estimated
at several millions. it win 60 into the
general fund of the Christian Science
church. There are but two heirs. George
Glover. a son, and DIR. Glover, an adopt
ed son. Or. Foster said he could not
say whether he would make claim for a.
share of the estate, as that would de-
pend on what provisions Mrs. Eddy may
have made for the partition of the prop

LEEwAY FOR oNsIDE KICK.
Mr. M'Curdy Thinks That Play Should
Be Given More Latitude.

Be Given More Latitude.
Springfield, Mass Dec. 3. Dr. J H.
McCurdy, football coach at Springfield
training school. said Yesterday morning
that the football season had proved the
adyisability OF the changes made last
spring in the playing rules, and that
personally he should favor further
changes along the same line. lie con
siders the game as played under the
rules OF the season just past as more
open and consequently as more interest
ing from spectacular standpoint, and
he considers that if further codifcation
should eliminate interference and the
danger entailed in the breaking up OF
this style Of defence, the game would
be adapted Tor men Of moderate physi-
cal proves and less dangerous for all.
One change that he favors would be a
removal of the lately placed rulings on
the onside kick As the game for sew
eral years has been changing always in
favor Of the offence, Mr.. McCurdy would
like TO have the onside kick allowed to
drop anywhere beyond the line OF scrim-
mage This would also open the game
further, he thinks, and give more lee
way to the offence.
Speaking in regard to some Of the OBJ
iections which have been made to the
20-yard-zone restrictions. and principal
" to the suggestion that has been made
that restriction be removed in case OF
punt, he pointed out the fact that this
would still further cloud up the situa
ton, as the defence would not know un-
til ii would be too late to act whether
a punt or pass was to be made.

Fashion Hints.

The distinctive feature of the new
laees is the combination in one design
of several-sized meshes
Conspicuous among new designs in
chiffon is the black stripping introduced
on two-toned background.
Much embroidery in a new kind OF
beads is being hand-done on all classes
of fabrics used for the more elaborate
frocss, and these beads appear to be
enameled and given a metallic luster at
sides, says Philadelphia Bulletin.
Long coat sweaters in white on gray
with high N.necks are excellent for golf
ing or walking.
Black satin evening wraps and cloaks
for daytime wear are quite the latest
thing, covering the wearer from neck to
heels. and even training slightly at The
back
All the satins and silks most used are
very soft and clinging even though the
quality may be heavy.
Automobile and evening wraps show
both the peasant and the raglan sleeves.
Bird's-eye cheviot is one of the favor
lie materials for autumn suits. 1t comes
in the fashionable tones of grape, pur-
pie. gray. blue. taupe and green.
In dresses and waists appear the bish-
OF sleeves, sleeves with a little fullncss
above the elbow, and the regulation
shirtwaist type.
Metal buttons, like metal passamen-
teries, are largely byzantine IN effect
