NAT GOODWIN LIMITED
 TO FORTY.EIGHT WIVES

New York, March 2s-Alas and alacki
 Nat Goodwin, the marrying actor" can only take unto himself forty-eight more wives!
 Yesterday Supreme Court Justice Giegerich, in confirming the decision of Referee J. Campbell Thompson that Edna Goodrich, tsNat's fourth, you
 know" he granted an absolute divorce from the famous purveyor of laughter, stipulated: "The plaintiff is given per- mission to remarry but the defendant is denied that privilege until the plain tiff shall have died.'' Willie Collier and Mats other Lambs
 Club cronies profess to see in this a
 heinous conspiracy to prevent Nat from engaging in the only pastime
 that he really enjoys. The F'orty-Sec- ond Street Country Club is convinced
 that there is a deep-laid plan to boy colt Nat.
 of course Nat can marry in some other State or Territory than New York but there are only forty eight
 of them, all told" said a member
 of this club yesterday. And just sup pose the others shall follow the ex-
 ample of New York and prevent him from remarrying within their limits
 after he has been roped in by one of their sirens?
 UTAH MIGHT SOLVE THE DIFFICULTY "The best thing Nat can do," said another member, ''is to move to Salt Lake City and take 'em on in patches. He might rent the Mormon Temple for one of hos doritories."

NEW YORK CLUBWOMrN FIGHT FOR PURE FOOD
 AND AGAINST TOBACCO

New York, March 2s.-Women prominent in New York social and club life will play detectives in pure food campaign inaugurated Monday while a general campaign against the ' use of tobacco will be carried on by them as a side line. They have or ganiEed the Gridiron Dinner-Dance Club, which. it's members say, has more serious purposes than the name implies
 Mrs. Arthur Alfred Brooks, Presi- dent of the Gotham Club, Is founder of the new club. which was organized at d meeting in her apartments in the St James Hotel. West Forty-hfth street. These are the officers: Mrs. Arthur Alfred Brooks, President; Mrs. IT. G. Hollenberg. Corresponding Sec retary: Mrs. William B. Smith, Treas urers Mrs. A Cloud, Recording Sec retary, -and c. ". Wagner, Historian.
 Believing that a cigarette thrown into a heap of rubbish by careless smoker caused Saturdays disastrous ire, Mrs. Brooks as President Of the Gotham Club wrote letter to Mayor Gaynor yesterday suggesting that the --pernicious habit of smoking in fac tories be prohibited"
 She sent $5 for the relic fund.
 The Gridiron Club will give its first dinner April 25. The speakers will be Charles G. Pease, leader in a move ment against smoking in public places. and Dr. w. R. c. Lotson, editor of a health publication.
 We expect to do a great work In the pure food movement" said Mrs. Brooks ESSterday. The women will take especial care when they order from the grocer.
 "As to the Encouragement of the use of tobacco. we shall make this endeavor a campaign of education. We will have circulars printed which will be sent to users of tobacco. These will contain scientific articles show ing the harmful qualities of the weed.
 And there1l be stories-yes, real stories from life. MT. Pease has a whole lot he will let us use, and they're thrillers. I don't see how a person could smoke after reading them. Why, there's one I remember about tobacco smoke being blown on a pane of glass. Then a cat licked the nicotine and died. Now, isn't that convincing.
 .'Yes, the women smokers are go- ing to feel our force, too-that is, If we get their names. Personally, l don't know a woman who smokes. The suggestion Is disgracefulI gusting, I understand they are doing it. however.

UNCLE. SAM AND SUPREME FAVOR THE SUFFRAGISTS

New York, March 29-Uncle sam and the Supreme Court conceded the vote to women yesterday at the Broadway Theatre. Not only those august bod les, but the "antis'' came over as one mere man" in evening attire and said the jig Is up woman, lovely woman, has come into her own, and mans too.'
 The theatre was packed to the doors and the boxes occupied by handsomely gowned society and club women who came to witness "A Pageant of Pro- test,'' given as a benefit for the woman suffrage party. It proved to be one of the best entertainments ever given in the name of equal suffrage.
 Mrs. Chapman Catt, who Is soon to leave on a tour of the world In the capacity of international president of the Women's Suffrage Association, occupied a stage box and was enthusi- astic over the outcome of the wom- ans plea to Uncle Sam, 'The Law, "The Average Man" and the rest. They were stage personages to be sure, but they were so realistically portrayed, and finally succumbed so gracefully to the plee for the ballot that every body hoped it was a happy omen soon to made real

 Large and small flowers are used on the new hats.
 Hats covered with brocade are ex- ce1lent for early spring.
 Many of the small hats are made of the very rough straws.
 Flower toques are enjoying modis- tic prominence in millinery.
 Wings, quills and gorgeous p1umes are seen on many of the hats.
 Sheerness seems to be the keynote for the most beautiful fabrics
 The fastenings of the new short coats are generally on one side.
 Fancy meshes dotted with chenille are advancing in favor in veils
 The waist line continues to remain above its natural position.
 Buttons are to be much used in trimming spring and summer frocks. 1ied by many women i'm the evening.
 The hat-brims in most of the new spring models turn up from the face.
 The fashionable figure is still slen- der with small hips and a flat back.
 Radium braid is effectively em- pIOyto Oi iIIdIy Ol lIlo IldHQSOU16St models.
 The thin straw which resembles horsehair or erin has come back into favor.
 The surplice effect is one of the liked ideas in bodice construc- ton, and the body and sleeve in one blouse has lost none of it's popularity.
 Girdles on frocks can be as nar- row as a cord if you wish, and are of convenient width on dresses to pre- serve any long lines that you possess.
 Large and small turbans of supple straw. handmade, are being shown in the shops. The crowns are high and the trimming makes them more so.
 Studdings of moonstones, baroque pearls, topaz, turquoise and diamonds are most popular for gold chains, soth- CT stones being reserved for the an- tigIe silver chains.
 Printed materials in quaint patterns and colors will be used. Prune col or, in combination with old blue, is often seen in printed voiles and chif- fons to be made over blouses.

No response came, and, scarcely waiting a mo- ment, Ronald put his shoulder to the dooor; it creaked under the tremen- dous strain, yielded suddenly and he fell in with it. It was fortunate that he did SO; for revolver flashed out in front of him, and the bullet passed over him.
 Ronald was on his feet in an ill., stant: he saw, through the wreath of smoke, the Count standing at the oth- CT end of the room, revolver in hand. Both Smithers and Ronald covered him; but the Count made no attempt with bloodshot eyes, his face distort- ed by rage.
 Drop that revolver!" said Ronald -"drop it, or I fire!'
 The Count laid the revolver on the table, and glared from one to the other.
 "Your business with mel" he snarl- ed. Are you thieves, or what?"

 Raven drew his lips back and snari- ed rather than laughed.

 "I am her future husband" said Ronald. Look herei there is no time to argue with you, to bandy threats. I must know if she Is here. I will know, and at once! I mean to have her. For your own sake, your own safety, you will give her up to me"

HINTS TO THE HOUSEWIFE.

White Oilcloth on the Kitchen Ta- bIe may be made to last longer if it is occasionally given a coat of white enamel paint. Be sure that the sur face Is perfectly clean and dry before applying the paint. Try enameling inc inside of your cupboards also they will be easier to keep clean, and the paint will close up cracks, so that there will be little chance for insects to gain access.
 Toj make a Candle Fit any Candle stick dip 1t in hot water, to soften the wax, and then push 1t into the candlestick that would otherwise be too large or too small II too small the candle can be squeezed in; if too large the soft wax will spread and hold the candle up-
 A New Broom Cover for Busting Floors is made like a petticoat and slips loosely over the broom. It Is of fiannelette, at seven cents a yard, and is about nine inches longer than the straw part of the broom. A deep hem makes it firm. It is pla1ted in to binding of broad tape at the top, to form a ring that will easily drop over the handle of the broom. This --petticoat" is much more readily slipped on and off the broom than the old-fashioned bag.
 That a Moulding Board Will Slip when bread Is being moulded or pie crust rolled is something every Wom- an knows. To obviate this have a narrow cleat put on the under side of the board to catch against the ta- ble- The same amount of comfort can be obtained by using clamps, but it takes more time to adjust them.
 More Table Room may be made m A kitchen where space is limited by attaching to the window casing by small but strong hinges smooth board sixteen inches wide by forty inches long, so that when 1t IS raised it may be on an exact level with the top of your kitchen table. In the front edge of the shelf insert two strong screweyes. and in each one fasten three feet of small chain; In the free ends of the chains put small brass rings, and at the proper dis tance above the shelf put strong brass hook in each side of the casing. Finally. slip the rings over these looks

The trouble is all with individuals. Enough crimes have already been laid on the State, and society in gen. eral. To be sure the social standards are not as high as they might be, but that does not excuse any man or WO- man from recognizing his or her ob- ligation as a social unit to the com munity, the State and the nation.
 If men and women who have ven- tured boldly out on the sea of matri- mony would only try to understand each other, there would be fewer storms.
