Society Women Discard Dogs and
Take Up Dolls.
New York, Oct. 30.--It is a positive
relief to all prosaic and matter-of-fact
readers of newspapers in and around
New York that Miss Gazzam, the
young and eccentric millionairess, no
ted principally for her anti-vivisection
crusade and her fanatic search for her
'soulmate" has, at last, not only
found but married the man whom she
considers or pretends to consider her
"soul-mate."
At present, according to her own
unblushing statement, he is an AN
GEL" and the only perfect man.
Well, the future will show, whether
the aforesaid "soul-mate" will be able
to live up to his reputation. He is a
strong and apparently healthy man
of fine physique and form, in his sto-
lidity, strange contrast to the high
ly emotional and high-strung woman
who found him after a long search,
proposed to him and married him. Be
fore his rather unconventional mar
riage he was an employe in the engin-
eering department of the Aqueduct
Commission, with a moderate salary
and doubtful prospects. BY his mar
riage he. became the practical owner
of a large estate and the husband of
an eccentric but very handsome young
woman who is immensely wealthy and
at present, at LEGISLATURES him
and is his devoted slave. 1t would be
interesting to know what he really
thinks of this "soul-mate" business.
James j. Hagan, the Tammany
leader of the 18th Assembly district
is a great JOKER but his latest joke
or attempted joke did not quite pan out
as expected In fact, it might be said
that in that particular case the bitter
was bitten. A short time ago the Re-
publican County Committee sent out
an appeal for campaign funds, and in
some manner Mr.. Hagan received one
of these appeals. He bravely respond
ed by sending check for one whole
cent to Ogden l.. Mills. treasurer OF
the Republican County Committee.
o. l-lhe DOOlItldllS HIS llllle Joke
came back, however, in the form of
note from Treasurer Mills, enclosing
the check and declining the contri-
button with the pointed remark that
although the committee needed funds
and would gratefully receive even the
smallest contributions, it would not
accept contributions from any source
that was unsatisfactory. Now Mr..
Hagan can put that in his dudeen and
smoke it.
The present political situation seems
to be decidedly favorable to rather

tice Robert A Sibbald of Park Ridge,
the Democratic candidate for Regis

statement Justice Sibbald wants to be
elected TO this office 50 that he may
have the opportunity to prove to the
New Jersey Legislature that it made

which is entirely unnecessary If
elected, he expected to close his Of

The society women of New York
have begun to take up a new fad,
which promises to become extremely
popular among the members of the
exclusive set For several years it was
considered the proper thing for every
swell lady to carry some kind of
dog or cat. usually the former, upon
her arm or lap when out driving or
walking. Some women We're so dog
crazy that they even took their pets
to church and to theatre with them.
Now all this is to be changed The
women will return to their first love
and substitute dolls for their animate
pets. Some of the leading society
women have taken up the fad and
