Girls Come With Hair in BraidS
 and Boys Without Cravats.


 On Wednesday of next week, the famous "Figtail Day" will be ob- served by the members of the Senior class of the local High school.

Ribbons are the only ornaments al- lowed, severe penalties following any violation of the custom.
 The present class has inaugurated an innovation as a special accom- paniment to the above. This year, every member of 1910, calling him. self a man, will attend school next Wednesday minus his cravat. Any youth having the temerity to appear with the conventional decoration will have his neckpiece promptly removed by willing and vigorous hands.

Her available weekly income is fix ed at this amount, and she has used every means possible to a skillful mar keter who is on confidential terms with her tradesmen, to avoid drawing on her reserve fund for the slack sum- mer months. Nevertheless, the in- crease in thirteen necessary commodi- ties that her accounts show has rais- ed her food expenditure, at the usual standard, by ninety cents a week, or thirteen per cent above last years schedule. Part of this comes out of the summer fund, as much as can be spared out of clothing and sundries- the latter covering carfares, health and recreation expenses-and the bal ance, about one-third, Is made up by stinting. She has increased her con- sumption of potatoes-is our standard of living approaching that of Ireland |? has cut out pork entirely, has de- creased her consumption of beef one- sixth, of butter one-fourth, and now mixes one quart of skinned milk with one of bottled.
 This is but one of the many ex- amples of how individual families have felt the pressure of high prices in New York this winter. Average made from fifty sources of informa- tion scattered throughout the lower parts of the city show the following increase in the thirteen food commodi- ties referred to above, placed for com parison beside the increases shown by the tables of Winifred Gibb, the visit ing l1ousekeeper of the Association for Improving the Condition of the Poor, which are based on wide can- vass of retail shops in all parts of the city and have been used in the federal investigation of cost of living.

This was the declaration made today by United States Attorney Henry A. Wise, who added that Rollins could only regain his citizenship through Presidential pardon. MT. Wise ex- plained that on Jan. 1st a. new Federal law became operative which made smuggling felony. He said that man could be deprived of his citizen ship if the crime of which he is con- victed carries with 1t a prison sen tence of one year or more. While Rollins was fined only 5000 the court could have imposed a two years penal sentence.

She laughed at the allusion to their

nothing, for they had determined to
keep it secret for the present.
Mr. Van Torp had not found an op-

when KralinsSy might be expected.

cabin, have you heard from the

met. but Lady Maud could not detect
the slightest look of recognition in his.
Van Torp introduced him, and also
watched his face narrowly, but there
was not the least change of express
sion, nor any quick glance of surprise.
Yet Kralinsky possibly did not know
that Lady Maud was on the yacht,
for he had not been told previously
that she was to be of the party, and in
the short conversation which had pre-
ceded her appearance, no one had
actually mentioned the fact. She her.
self had come to dinner late with the
express purpose of presenting herself
before him suddenly, but she had to
admit that the intended surprise did
not take place.
She was not astonished, however,
for she had more than once seen her
husband placed in very difficult stu
ations, from which he had generally
extricated himself by his amazing
power of concealing the truth. Being
seated nearly opposite to him, it was
not easy to study his features without
seeming either to stare at him rudely

him than on any Of the others Her

On the writingtahIe stood a tall
gilt vase full of immense pink roses,
with stems nearer four feet long than
three. Mrs. Rushmore admired them
very much.
How did you know that love
roses above all other fowers?- she
asked. my dear Mr.. Van Torp, you
are wizard, I'm sure!"
Lady Maud and Margaret entered.
and kept up a polite little chorus of
admiration; but they both felt uneasy
as to what they might find IN their re-
