WATCH ON SLIPPER
IS NEWEST FAD
Mrs. Charles A. Robinson Wears
Timepiece on Toe Buckle at
Hungry Club Dinner

NEW YORK. Dec. 20.--Mrs. Charles
Augustus Robinson. society and club
woman, OF No. 20l West Seventy-ninth-
ST.. King Solomon's dictum 10 the
contrary Notwithstanding, has found
something new. She has discovered
new local habitat for her tiniest
watch.
Mrs. Robinson was guest OF honor
last evening at the Christmas tree
dinner OF the Hungry club at the Hotel
Marseille. II was noticed that, imbcd-
ded In the center of the dian<nd
buckle ornamenting her right slipper
was jewelled timepiece.
The slipper was az a shade OF blue,
matching the wearer's beautiful gown.
The buckle on the instep was OF
ihinestones. Directly in the center OF
the buckle was set the tiny watch
that accurately records the hour on
It's wee but distinct dial.
Incidentally, II was whispered last
evening, that the watch" slippers
cost $3.50 and are the first pair ever
made. Mrs. Robinson had the slip
pefs made expressly 10 wear at the
dinner last evening Both Mr.. and
Mrs Robinson are members OF the
Hungry club, TO which also belong
such notabilities as Chauncey NJ. De-
pew, Mr.. and Mrs. Hundon Maxim,
and nearly seven hundred other we'll
known personages.
AS Mr. AID Mrs. Robinson are about
TO embark upon a trip around the
world, leaving for Panama on next
Saturday, the members of the club
wished to compliment her ty making
her guest OF honor. They felt this
would be especially suitable, as Mrs.
Robinson has recently taken up a
course In dramatic art solely for her
own entertainment and that of her
friends. On last nights after-dinher
programme she gave several poems
TO musical settings admirably played
by Mrs. Lillian Adams.
Mrs. Robinson's pretty face pictured
her establishment when she was asked
how she had conceived the idea OF
the watch slipper"
"Why, II seemed so handy" she
laughed. "All one has to do when ont
in company, when to pull out watch
might be considered a sign OF rude
ness, is to gaze down at the ground
in apparent observation-disclosures aud
there you are"

PRINCETON WON'T LET MRS. GROVER
 CLEVELAND GO
COLLEGE BOYS THINK TT GAN BE ARRANGED BY OFFERING PRO- FESSORsHIP TO DIR. PRESTON, HER FTANCE-PREX. HIBBEN 3 SMILES KNOWINGLY.

Princeton. N. J. Nov. 1-The Prince
 ton boys have grave1y if unofficial
 1y given their consent to the marriage
 of Mrs. Grover Cleveland and Thomas
 Jes Preston. They are perfectly will
 ling to troop over to Westland and stand outside to wish her every happi-
 ness. They are eager to get Tom Preston back among themselves. to
 slap him on the back, and tell him
 he's jolly good fellow. They are ready to shower the coming wedding with an undergraduate blessing, but all this on ohe condition, and that is that the Prestons shall live at Prince
 ton. The boys simply will not hear of Mrs Cleveland being taken away
 to Aurora, N Y, or any other place.
 They know that it is customary for 2 bride is to go to to the M home and town of exception. They know that Prof. Preston holds the chair of Archaeology and the History of Art at Wells Col lege, but they think that can be fixed very easily by just giving him a pro- fessorship at Princeton at any salary he cares to name. They know that voted AIumna of the college at Au- rora, but they believe that in the years intervening since her graduation by long and close association she has be- come a Princeton woman, if ever there was one, and they believe that deep down in her heart, she knows it. The
 bpS1OL OI IL IS IAdL the SLuQenCS are in their decision that the Prestons shall live at Princeton.
 Some of the boys went to President Hibben about 1t yesterday and asked him point-blank if the Trustees in- tended to offer Prof. Preston a post at Princeton. He 1aughingly turned aside the query, but there is good ground for the rumor here, that next year will see Thomas Jes Pfeston's s name with Princeton's Litt. B, Prince toms M. A., and Princeton's Phi Beta Kappa strung after it, enrolled in the roster of the Princeton Faculty.
 It is known that Dr. Hibben has a high admiration for Prof. Preston, and that he is very fond of him. He also yields to none in his admiration for Mrs. Cleveland, and the boys believe that the man who was the 'fwhitest man in all the F>ac'' will not desert them in this important matter They believe devoutly that the Prestons will take up their home in Princeton

Letters of a S1im-Made
 Woman to Her Fat Sister
Third Letter On the Mistaken Theory
 of Starvation to Reduce Weight.

Dear Sis:-Ive juust finished din- ner, and if I had time would tell you of all the good things I ate-you'd d be mortified.
 Rememb Der that dear. mistaken old doctor back home who tried to take the fat off me by starving me? What a patient, trusting creature I was to put up with it! I was half famished, and weak, and actually sick from lack of food-and he would graciously al- low me about one cracker a day-I felt like a parrot.
 You know I always said that sys- tenn was barbarous-that there must be a simple, easy, natural method to take off superf1uous flesh. We'll I fouund it, found the simple, harmless Marno1a Prescription. It took time of course. But had been carrying that load of fat for years and was mighty well satisfied to get rid of it in a few months.
 The way I did it was this: At the drug store I got 1z ounce powdered Marmola, # ounce Cascara Aromatic and $ 5k ounces Peppermint Water. mied these at home, and began talk ing a teaspoonful after meals and at bedtime. There wasn't any change at first, but I kept right on, and pret- ty soon I noticed a graduau1 reduction in weight-s1ow at first, buut great CT as weeks went by-untif now I'm as trim as 8 princess, flesh firm skin smooth. completion clear, and feeling fine. If I'd kept on starving I'd have died-fat.

PROPHETS AGREE THAT HARD
 WINTER IS ON THE WAX

The first Of November marks the be- ficial weather prophets, and already they are beginning to voice pdedic- tions of an unusually hard and cold winter The dire prognostications are based, not on the data Of the ec3en- tif1c meteorological experts, but on the signs manifested by Mother Na- ture, who is now beginning to strip annual battle with the Frost King Numerous and strange are the devices used by ''natureprophets,' but all are in substantial agreement that before the month now opening has run it's course old King Winter will descend upon us with shivering swoop.
 Some Of the methods used for fore casting Winter weather are as fol- lows:
 Trees-If there is a heavy growth of moss on the north side of trees, a hard Winter may be anticipated.
