have a friend who went to Alaska
on a pleasure trip with me with no
more luggage than a suitcase and
handbag, and she asserts that she was
perfectly comfortable. She had to do
some planning beforehand, but the
result was worth it all. She wore
woven underwear that did not need
the services of a laundress, and a
stout walking costume which would
stand any kind of weather. Her one
concession to gentility was a black
India silk frock and q few silk waists
that would bear crushing. She was
accompanied by her husband with
even less luggage, for all of his be-
longings were packed into suitcase.
She is going to do the rest of her
travelling in the same simple fashion,
and she goes abroad each year.

She pouted sulkily If he looked at

She was insanely jealous of every

pected equal and continuous outpour-
ings of the soul from him.
II he stayed away, she called him
to account.
She wrote to him too copiously and
too frequently.
She approached him because his
ardor didn't equal hers.
She never gave him the fun of
wondering If she really did care for
him.
She made her alteration q sure

ginger.
She ratified the chains so obvious

She gives him the excitement OF

She frequently advances spicy opin-

She laughs at his flirtations with
other girls.
I She listens sympathetically to his
| past love affairs, and loves to hear
| about his women friends.
She preserves secret depths beyond
his knowledge, and takes it fol.
granted he can conduct himself prop

confessor.
Her letters are brief, jolly, and just
so infrequent that he wants some
more.

DAYLIGHT DANCES SOCIETY FAD.

DAYLIGHT DANCES SOCIETY FAD
Daylight dances arc the latest fad
in Washington society, and they are
proving welcome relief from the
sombre sedateness Of the Lenten sea-
son. AS might be expected, Mrs
Nicholas Longworth is one of the
originators of the idea, and the
Countess Won Moltke, formerly Cor
nelia Thayer, is among her ardent
supporters. The dances are entirely
original entertainments. First and
foremost, 10 men are present, and
this is explained by hardly less in
teresting featare-that much of the
dancing is of the Greek style made
fashionable by Isadora Duncan, and
bare feet and flowing draperies are
the rule rather than the exception
Moreover, the dancers are devotees
of the health-and-open-air cult They
usually meet early in the morning,
and all the windows are wide open,
so as to make the exercise as health
full as possible. Real exercise it Is,
too, when the mornings are cold, for
the dancers have to keep moving nim-
bly, to save their toes from freezing

WALL STREET GETS
STOLEN MONEY.
Bankers Have Taken $28,OOO,OOO
in Five Years,
ALL SPENT IN SPECULATION
The underpaid Employees See Heads
Of Institutions Win Millions In
a Day and Think They
Can Also.

| New York, Aug. l.-Thefts from two
New York banks, made known within
the last week, have compelled the at
tention Of the American Bankers as
ISOLATION to this class OF crime. In
the last Ave years more than $2S,OOO'
900 has been embezzled from banks
and trust companies in the United
States.
In a majority Of cases the money
stolen from banks is lost In STOCK
gambling in Wall street, Thus went
the 100000 that John H. Lowery said
he took from the Utica City National
bank. 1t was said recently by the
president of a surety company that
many thefts are committed in banks
that never reach the ears Of the pub
lie Bankers and heads Of trust com
panies, 1t was asserted, frequently
minimize the amount of stealings
when the secret Of losses comes out
In illustration of this, 1t was recalled
that when announcement was made
very lately of the disappearance OF
Walter Hall, paying teller Of the
Herald Square branch Of the Green
witch bank, an official of the bank said
the amount missing from the bank
was too trivial to mention" The
amount proved to be between $4,000
and $4,000 1t was first announced,
following the disappearance of the
cashier, Erwin Wider, that the Russo
Chinese bank at No. So Pine street,
was out about $4,000. The value OF
the missing securities is now placed
at 100000.
The example of the millionaire
heads of the institutions, who win
fortunes in day in the stock market,
has its effect on the underpaid en-
ployes. Then come the letters Of ad-
vice from brokers of repute and al,
legged responsibility, These are scat
tered in banks and trust companies
for the purpose of melting those who
read them to gamble. In addition to
tips on stocks, especially those "se.
curities" in which the broker himself
is personally interested, these letters
not infrequently contain such hints
as the following:
Men starting with few hundred
dollars and observing the rules which
guide leading spectators have by
holiness and skillful manipulation be-
come the possessors of millions"

ABOUT THE STREET LINES.
surveyor Romig Tells why There
Are Crooked Places.

The paving engineer has found In

tHe street lines are crooked. In

feet wide, in others 10. The curb

blamed City Surveyor Romig for 1t
but he is not to blame. He says:
A Gard to the Public.
The gentlemen who are directing
the survey to establish boundary
lines for our paving system, in their
ignorance Of established methods
and local conditions, have developed
a system of entanglements that will
unsettle property Lines and create
endless confusion.
In their explanation and eager
ness to shift the blame for unsatis-
factory work they seek to make a
scapegoat of your humble servant,
erstwhile city engineer. am in no
sense responsible for their work, and
in self defense. l think few words
of explanation are due and in order.
The original survey Of the city of
Abilene and additions were not al
ways made with mathematical accur-
acy; the angles at block corners
were not always perfect right am
giles, parallel streets were not al
ways exactly parallel, measure
ments Of blocks and property lines
we're not always in harmony with
the field notes. Most Of the original
corners have long since been lost
or destroyed, making 1t difficult to
restore original lines. This condi-
ton of affairs was in evidence
twenty years ago, and in order to
establish permanent landmarks the
city employed County Surveyor Fow-
.er, Harvard graduate and ex-Coun-
II Surveyor Fancher to re-measure
and locate permanent corners on all
street crossings at the intersection
If center lines. This was done In the
early eighties, the corners accepted

,rs and initial landmarks
In all our surveys subsequent to
hat work we have accepted the CEN
