Brcadsiae:
BY ETHEL LLOYD PATTERSON.

THE Dominant Sex" is lie title OF a play soon
to appear In book form. 1t is by Mrs. Annie Nathan
Meyer. Later it will have its dramatic production.
Mrs. Meyer, you will remember, is the founder OF
Barnard College and prominent as the opponent Of
equal suffrage.
Twenty-Five years ago we would have known at
once to which sex Mrs. Meyer referred in the title OF
her drama. To-day our doubts may be ~pardoned. To
me It seemed the safest course to 20 and consult Mrs
Meyer herself on the subject.

William A. Nash, who has become a
partner in the great banking firm of
J. r. Morgan and Company, was born
in Hudson. N. T., January Is. 1870. lie
started his business career as "a mes
senger hoy in the Corn Exchange bank

institution In 1883 lie was made pres
idcnt OF tho New York Clearing House
association In 1895. and was one of
the committee that bought the land

new Clearing House. In the financial
iiurry OF 1907. as well as in that of
1898. his activities in the Clearing
House association aided very much in
the restoration of public confidence.
MIR. Nash is probably best known as
the father of the branch bank idea,
and the Corn Exchange bank under
his direction as president was the first
to establish branches after the law to

Baldhead Club
One is Being Organized in

Perhaps this report is a joke. but
one thing is certain baldhead is no
joke TO the man who wears it,
A club of baldheads formed in every
city in America would be a good thing
III its members could be induced 10
parade hatless. through the main
streets of the city.
The writer would suggest that some
of the members carry banners with
inscriptions of such a character as to
warn those who still have hair, that
badness is unnecessary; that in nearly
every case il is the result OF careless
ness.
Banners inscribed as follows would
| be appropriate:
We let the dandruff germ do it
The time TO save the hair is when
you have hair to save"
When we were young, the dandruff
| germs worked every blessed minute
| They dug our hair out by the roots,
and now we aren't in ii"
The hest banner of all would be
this, We didn't use Partisan Sage.

stop falling hair, itching scalp and to

Absentminded Lord Derl1

Lord Derby could be very absent
minded, and once on time he walked
with Lord Clarendon. his opponent,
and told him all the secrets of the
cabinet. Lord Clarendon listened
amazed, but thought it too large an
order when he was asked for his ad-
vice. 1t was not for him to counsel
his political foes. At this intimation
Lord Derby woke up. saying, Really,
l thought all the time l was talking
to a colleague He had continued.
hardly recognizing the fact, contro-
versy he had been having with other
ministers at the foreign Office. OF
course Lord Clarendon honorably pre-.
served the cabinet secrets, but he told
his story against Lord Derby and
