Booth Harrington was aelling stor-
les to group of college graduates In
q New York club, when one OF the
party suddenly inquired: what has
become of Davis?"
''He has gone out of town on busi-

'He has gone for a long WHILE" OBJ
served Mr.. Harrington, with a smile.
''Davis is one Of those men who leave
unmistakable evidence of their pur-
poses. Whenever Davis goes away to
stay long period he takes with him
an old mouth organ. which he loves
dearly to play while he occasionally
nibbles at gingerbread. I have made
an investigation of Davis room. and
have found that the mouth organ dis

tell me what Davis plans are"

HOW THEY CARE FOR GUESTS
convenienees Of New York Hotels
Show Great Consideration Given
to Comfort of Ladies'.

New York hotels may charge high
prices for their restaurant and dining

generous. in some Of the conveniences
they furnish their women guests.
Dressing rooms are equipped with the
finest of soaps, the most delicate OF
toilet powders, Ice wateTs ABUNDANCE

IN one Of the most fashionable OF
these benevolent hostelries neat de-
vice Is well worthy Of imitation. 1t is
a small celluloid box or jar with a hole
in the cover. The box is filed with
fine, white absorbent cotton. which is
accessible through the opening. This
is to be used In applying powder to
the face instead Of the customary
powder puff. The guest picks out her
little piece Of cotton, powders her be-
nign countenanee and then discards
the scrap when she is through with it.
The idea is eminently sanitary and
shows what careful consideration this
hotel gives to every item affecting the
welfare Of it's guests. Above the dress

cant inscription, 1.-THE convenieHees of

HUSBAND IN PRISON.
So Mrs. Graft Sues Him for a
Divorce.

More trouble came to Benjamin
Franklin Graft this afternoon when his
wife, Ellen Margaret Graft, filed suit
in the district court asking for a di
vorce. Graft celebrated his second
wedding anniversary this year with his
arrest on an embezzlement charge.
The next day a parole in an old case
was revoked and the man will serve a
penitentiary term.
Since CRAFTS marriage to Ellen Mar
garet Martin in Battle Creek, Mich,
two years ago, his career has not been
a triumphal march. First he was ar
rested for embezzling $5S that belong
ed to an express company. He was
paroled. But the disgrace of his ar
rest followed him and he was unable
to find employment.
Then Graft entered the real estate
business. The first $50 that was en-
trusted to his care, he appropriated to
buy groceries for himself and wife,
and to pay their long delinquent room
rent. April 5, Graft had been married
just two years. That day he was re-
arrested. The next day, Judge Dana
revoked the mans parole and he was
sentenced to the penitentiary.
In her petition, Mrs. Graft says her
husband has had many opportunities
to make a success in life, but that he
has idled away his time and neglected
his chances to earn money. Now she
wants a divorce and her maiden name.
There are no children and no property
rights, except a patent right to sell
certain harness equipments in north
ern Illinois. The wife wants this con-
tract conveyed to her name
