leaves two daughters, Miss Edith
Pulitzer and Miss Constance Pulitzer
Mr.. Pulitzer's entry into New York
journalism occurred in 1883, when he
bought the World, then a paper OF
small circulation.
Prior to his debut as newspaper
man in 1870 Mr.. Pulitzer had, for
five years, worked in various capaci,
ties. Going to st. Louis at the close
of the Civil war, after having been
mustered out of the First New York
cavalry after years service, he OBJ
tanned his first employment as a
deckhand on a ferryboat.
Afterward he did manual work on
the levee, then became hostier In
the Benton, barracks, and later be-
came waiter in a cafe.
Following this he had place as
coachman, and through part OF the
cholera epidemic in the latter sixties
he was grave digger.

LITTLE POINTS TO REMEMBER
Matters sof Etiquette That Never
Should Be Absent From
the Memory.

When the luncheon guests are la.
dies exclusively the hostess leads the
way to the dining room, where places
are chosen at will or are fixed by
dainty plate favors with the names In.
scribed on one side.
Many hostesses prepare for an in
formal musical and literary program
following luncheon.
The hostess driving with another
woman in closed carriage allows her
guest to take the choice of seats by
giving her precedence in entering the
carriage.
Only the most delicate scent is al
lowed on lady's stationery, and it is
better to dispense with perfumery in
this line altogether. If used a sachet
is introduced into the box in which
the stationary is kept, the scent being
the same as that affected by the own
er.
Black borders of equal width on
stationery cards are used by the wild
ow as long as she wears mourning.
Postal cards are only proper fol-
announcing meetings or the most i'm
personal messages.

blow about. There is very great va
riety of these shapes, their main diff.
ferences being in the backs. Some OF
them turn down, some are brimless at
the back and others turn smartly up
ward, allowing room for low Golf
fure
In Fig. l very attractive shape is
shown which may be had in felt, vel
vet or any of the materials used for
winter hats. Velvet loops and chenille
fringe headed by a band of roses
form the trimming. This shape is
worn both by young and elderly wom
en-, with equal appropriateness.
More particularly designed for older
women, the hat in Fig. 2 follows the
lines of bonnet. The crown is soft
puff of velvet and the trimming a
plume effect made of fringe applied tc
quilts and a fringed cabochon. This is
a very new model, rich and dignified
in effect. 1t is made in the darker
shades of the rich colors which char.
acterize this seasons millinery.

Charleston, S. C.-Joseph Pulitzer,
editor and proprietor of the New York
World and the ST. Louis Post Dis
patch, died recently on board his
yacht, Liberty, in the harbor here. He
had been i'll only about 48 hours and
until just before he died it was be-
lieved that the illness was only a
slight indisposition. His passing re-
moved one of the greatest newspa-
pers publishers of the age.
Late one afternoon % years ago,
Joseph Pulitzer, then but forty-two
years old, was leaning on the rail Of

OF late years he has spent most of
his days aboard his palatia) yacht,

A BRAIN WORKER.

energy is a great part of my stock in

extravagant claims made of them. But

ment of the debt that l owe to Crate
Nuts food.
Il discovered long ago that the very
bulkiness of the ordinary diet was not
calculated to give one a clear head,
the power of sustained, accurate think
ing. | always felt heavy and sluggish
in mind as well as body after eating
the ordinary meal, which diverted the
blood from the brain to the digestive
apparatus.
Il tried foods easy of digestion, but
found them usually deficient in nutri-
ment. experimental with many break
fast foods and they, too, proved un-
satisfactory, till reached Grape-Nuts.
And then the problem was solved.
"Grape-Nuts agreed with me per
fectly from the beginning, satisfying
my hunger and supplying the nutri-
ment that so many other prepared
foods lack.
Il had not been using it very long
before found that was turning out
an unusual quantity and quality OF
work. Continued use has demonstrate
ed to my entire satisfaction that

TN GRE is something about fringe
Il which adapts it to millinery de
signed for older women particularly
well. 1t is made of rich materials, as
lace, chenille, satin and silk, and is
carefully and compactly put together.
Now that it is so fashionable, many
hats are trimmed with it, and some of
them entirely covered with the narrow
silk fripges.
There are so many bonnet-like
shapes this season that are worn by
young and old alike, that there is a
wider choice than heretofore for older
womYn These shapes are unusually
sofi ening and becoming and a very
agreeable change from turban and
trque shapes which have been worn
for so many years. Older women
should consider item with favor. They
are small, with roomy and comfort
able head sizes. They fit we'll down
over the crown of the head and stay
in place without difficulty. Worn
with a face veil, they are very neat,
