 It is said that to be a success socially in New York woman must be affiliated with some charitable organization, and the efforts in behalf of charity are made in the most original and practical man ner imaginable. An instance of work along very practical lines is the following excerpt from an exchange:
 An energetic body of women invaded the Engineers building in New York on one of the coldest nights of last week. But they came to discuss feminine bene- fits from vacations, not the wrestling of feminine rights. An association-to ex- plain the matter--has been formed for the purpose of inducing wage earning women to save nt least 10 cents every week to- ward a sum for their yearly vacations. This same organization aids the girls 60 find summer boarding houses for their fortnight in the country. So, according ly, the working girls were invited to at tend this meeting at which they listened to kindly adjurations in regard to being penny wise during the winter for the sake of the holiday in the summer. Three hundred girls were in the audience. Miss Elizabeth Marbury made genial speech; Miss Gertrude Robinson Smith, who has made this vacation organization one of her enthusiasms, also addressed the girls and Mrs. Selden Bacon Josephine Dask- am Bacon, the author). made g. humorous oration in which those present were alto gether convinced that penny wisdom is excellent for those unable to indulge in pound foolishness.
 After the speeches came ice cream and cake served to the accompaniment of popular songs. Every one joined in heartily. Miss Anne Morgan sang rag time, as she passed along with a biz tray waiting on,t the girls, who gave ad- miring attention to her simple eeru frock and plain black hat-far smaller than their own in "did you ever' size. Mrs, Bacon danced as well as sang when rag time proved too tempting and almost dropped her tray. It was just the jolliest sort of altruism, and it served as an illus tration of what society women are trying to do.

It may not be generally known that Judge Hugo Black was a disciple of Aesculapius previous to the time he worshiped at the shrine of Blackstone His reason for quitting the capsule and scalpel for the ponderous tonnes of legal lore has not yet been learned, yet there is no disputing the fact that when the judge quit pill rolling and took to the bar, a shining light was lost to the medical fraternity.
 This was evidenced by the way he diag- nosed g. case of appendicitis at the po- lice court yesterday morning, and not only that, he prescribed a new treatment for that disease that might. have 8 tend ency to make it less fashionable,

 Appendicitis and bruised blood. I am free to confess that is new complica- tion on me; where does the pain strike you?'
 "Right here, .jedge,' and Algernon placed his two huge hands on his per- son covering his anatonmy from the right lung to the left groin.
 Just place one hand on the region of the pain"
 Algernon complied by placing his hand on the spot where Bob Fitzsimmons landed the wallop that knocked Jim Cor bett off the Christmas tree.
 "Now, remove your vest and place your finder on the particular spot where the pain exists"
 Algernon again complied and placed his finger on a spot about three inches below the southeast rib.

It was indeed interesting to see d pupil play her number in one key, then trans late it and execute it in some other key. In each instance the young pupil had analysed her piece and transposed it into two keys. One little girl being asked how she transposed her piece written in r answered originally, 'I had the same notes and then had only to think six sharps instead of one flat Other stu dents had written the analysis of their pieces and transposed by the figures. A keyboard drill proved that they knew the staff position of every note and their explanation of scales and chords showed quite q knowledge of theory and har- mony.
