 While the serious anti-divorce talks ny various well known people will be well re- ceived by the Philadelphia socially elect, the feature of the afternoons" IS cer- tain to be the illustrative moving ictare stories, which have all been written pv MT. Mckean, and it is whispered that at least two of them have been inspired by recent real divorce actions taken by cer- tain members of the fashionable set.

A Shining Record

From the New York Evening Mail
 To have performed the duties of n re- sponsible position for 1T years without making a single mistake is an achieve ment which is probably unique In he am nals of public service. Such is the envia- ble record of Mrs. Villa A. Leonard, who at the age of 71, has just resigned the post of chief of counterfeit detectors in the treasury department.
 During her remarkable term of service Mrs. Leonard was required every day to pass upon the genuineness of hundreds of currency notes of various denominations The notes passed first through the hands of subordinate examiners and came to Mrs. Leonard for final judgment, she being a sort of supreme court whose opin- ion was the last word. She never made error as to the character of a note, though she had handled millions of dol lars. Hers is an unparalleled record of efficiency, little short of genius.

Diplomatic Menus

From the London GIobe.
 An interesting collection has just been added to the museum in connection with the French ministry of foreign affairs. The collection is the gift of NJ. Jean Fa- bre, and it consists of menus of dinners and luncheons given by French diplomatic representatives abroad during the last 50 years. What boon this will be to chefs if they are permitted to consult this collection, which is contained in 10 albums and it is quite within the range of possi- bility that diplomats will not be above drawing inspiration from the books. We believe the Austrian Emperor has d some what similar collection.
