To Gain Social Success.

To be successful socially. . woman
must possess brains and looks, 4
ready wit and perfect manners. She
must be we'll posted on general top
ics and have fund of what the Eng
lish call small talk" She can never
rise to any prominence in the social
world unless she has a frm will,
sound sense and ready sympathies.
These qualities, added to enough OF
wealth to do as she would do, make
the best and most representative type
of the American society woman. But
then, our women possess all these
qualities even when their lives are
not thrown In the most pleasant
places. No woman in the world DOS
sesses the adaptability of the Ameri-
can woman. She always knows what
to do and when to do it.

WO[TER IS ON TRIAL
YOUTH ACCUSED OF MURDER
ING YOUNG GIRL.
Alleged That He Attempted to Burn
Victims Body to Hide
Crime.

/, NEW YORK, April 1s.-Within less
than a month after the discovery of the
crime the trial of Albert Wolter, the
eighteen year -oId youth. charged with the
murder Of Ruth Wheeler. fifteen-year-old
stenographer. was called today in gen.
eral sessions court here. March ~ the
girl called at the apartments on East 18th
street occupied by Wolter. to whom she
had been referred by typewriting school
when Wolter applied to it for a stenog-
rapher.
Two days later her dismembered and
partially burned body was found in
sunny sack on fire escape outside VOL
ters apartments. and examination show
ed that an attempt to burn the body In
a fireplace In VOTERS room had been
made WoIter had already been placed
under arrest. charged with the girls alb
duetion. and on the discovery of the body
ne was charged with the murder and
speedily indicted for the crime.
VOTERS counsel asserts that he has a
valid defense for the prisoner. 1t has
been his claim that anOtner man had
lured Miss Wheeler To his fiat and there
had strangled her to death and then at
tempted to conceal the crime by burning
the body. A notebook in which the state
claims that Wolter set down Miss Whee-
ler's name and address as particulars re-
garding her application for employment
was expected by the prosecution to prove
an important link in connecting the
youthful prisoner with the crime.

Philadelphia Car Men Slow to Obey
Committees Order.

PHILADELPHIA, April 1s.-The strik-
ing mortormen and conductors Of the
Philadelphba Rapid Transit Compapa,
who were last night directed to return to

slow to follow the orders of their lead
ers today, and up to noon only about one
hundred men had reported at the COM
pany's barns.
Meetings were held during the morn
ing at all OF tire nineteen barns in the
city to decide what to do.
There is considerable dissatisfaction
over the manner in which the strike was
declared off by the executive committee
of the carmens local union. The vote
on the question to return to work stood
1895 against and 1.25S for, and notwith-
standing the majority of seven against
going back the committee called the
strike off.
Local officers of the carmen's union,
in explaining their action, said they de-
clared the strike of for the best interests
Of the men and on the advice of the ma
tional board of the carmen's union. Ex-
cept for a better understanding between
the company and its union employees the
mer return to work practically on the
same basis as existed before the strike.
