A Woman of Affairs

From "Notes and Pictures in the June
 Metropolitan Magazine
 Che must make good every minute :. is Mrs. John Hays Hammond's breezily expressed motto. and following this motto closely explains Mrs. Hammond's ch eerful and masterly manner of assum- ing the responsibilities of two unusual offices of honor into which she has stepped during the past three months. a Last January, while enjoying the so- cial life of the Russian capital, Mrs Hammond received a cable from the Woman's Department of the National Civic Federation asking her to accept the national chairmanship of this body of rich and influential women who are working for the betterment of condi- tions for industrial and government employees.
 And now as wife of the special am bassador recently appointed by Presi- dent Taft to represent this country at the coronation ceremonies in June of King George and Queen Mary Mrs Hammond goes abroad with full and cheerful appreciation of the honor con ferrcd, assumed it's responsi bilities with an intimate knowledge of It's detailed requirements. Mrs. Hammond had at tended the drawing rooms of Queen Victoria, and she and MT. Hammond had been among the especlal invited guests of King Edward VII at the time of his coronation.
 Having lived in the gold mines of the Transvaal where MT. Hammond won fame and fortune as an expert minin g engineer, and having lived in the heart of the great gold and silver mines of Mexico and California, Mrs. Hammond is familiar with the lives of the women whose husbands work with the pick and shovel and also familiar with the needs of the working man himself.

sDr. Charles Edmonds of Louisville, who has been in the east on visit says that along with the other Increases in the cost of living has come sharp advance
 in all surgical supplies and appliances necessary to doctors.
 Even skulls and bones of Europeans who passed on many moons ago have advanced in cost so materially that med ical students have been forced to aban- don the idea of being the individual own CTS of the disarticulated forms.
 Previous to the enactment of the new law, which is said to be responsible for 25. per cent in all surgical articles, skulls could be had for about s9, and every up to-date student had one in his study. But since the advance to SIP, clubs of internes are formed to purchase the skulls and in- dividual ownership has ceased. As the result of the advances along the line the demand for surgical supplies has de- creased greatly and merchants are com plaining.
 ''The older physicians are not affected by the advance ip the price of skulls and bones, as they now fall back on their old supplies when called upon to do so,

having the portfolio over the table
open. 1t was no use to argue with
him. but one day when the seas were
very high and the ship pitching and
rolling ventured to demonstrate. He
was up In arms In minute. You are
paid to obey orders he said tartly.

course was served in safety. Then
asked him II he would have fish. OF
course | will he snapped. And I'll
have it In hurry. Don't keep me
waiting all day
Just at that moment an unusually
big sea rolled by-that is, part of it
did. A goodly portion came through
the portfolio. soaking the old man and
depositing on the table In front of him
a live fish. No waiter on board Of
our ship had ever served an order so
quickly before. But | didn't get any
credit for It. The queer thing about
that story" he added. rs that 1t isn't

to any one who believed 1t, but it is
absolutely true"-New York Press.

A distinguished astronomer once
took the trouble to measure in several
paintings the size of the moon and to
deduce from It the height Of the noun
tains shown in the same picture. He
found that the average height of the
hills was about forty-three miles. while
one giant peak raised its head more
than hundred miles above sea level.
Turner, who was one of'the greatest
masters Of landscape composition and
coloring, frequently exaggerates the
height Of his hills with the intention of
comforting upon them majesty which
otherwise they would not possess.

The Ones They Had In London, Per-

They walked into the breakfast room
at one OF the big New York hotels the
other day tnicky, precise and quer-
ulous. They had just returned from
tour of Europe and gave that CONT
nent the big talk at every chance.
Have you no South African
peaches?' they asked plaintively. I'VE
have been stopping at the Savoy in
London. and there were plenty OF
South African peaches"
The hotel manager was found. He
fastened to the complaining ones.
Certainly the hotel had South African
peaches. They were imported espe-
cially for the hotel guests; came from
the same peach orchard that the Sa-
voy's peaches did. The faces Of the
travelled persons did not light up with
Joy and appreciation, as one would
think.
How much are theyf" they asked
with singular timidity.
Three dollars EACH" said the hotel
manager The Travelled persons prompt
ly protested. But we only paid-haw
$3.50 for them at the Savoy" said
they. The hotel manager expressed
his regret at the overcharge. He. said
| they might have them at the same
price that they paid at the Savoy in
| London, and how many would they
| like to have?
"Haw, Alfred" said one of the plain
tive Travelled persons to the other
plaintive Travelled person, "let US have

AT THE PLAY.


The best thing about Get Rich Quick
WalIingford," which was at the Grand
Saturday night, is that it will play a re-
turn engagement on Wednesday of this
week Topeka was more or less inter
ested in the play because Hale Hamilton
of Topeka created the role of Walling-
ford While Mr.. Hamilton was not with
the company that played in Topeka 1t is
nevertheless a strong organization and
Joseph Manning plays the leading role
acceptably. He is ably assisted by Ed
ward Delaney in the character of Horace
Daw, Wallingford's partner in crime The
rest of the company is well selected and
the characters so well portrayed that the
audience goes with the confidence man
and his partner through their thr1iliEg
experiences feeling that they have seen
the real thing. George NJ Conan has
made a delightful comedy out of the
Wallingford stories which ran in the Sat
urday Evening Post 1t drew a large
house and will probably repeat when it
comes back Wednesday.
