MISS NANCY SIMPSON
 A LITTLE HOSTESS

One of the infant debutantes of the week was little Miss Nancy simpson, who celebrated her third anniversary yes terday afternoon at the home of her parents. MT. and Mrs. Robert l..

The little people toddled about on the lawn direct ed in their enjoyment of the day by the older children and their nurses: when dining room doors were opened they stretched their eyes At the two bright tables which were disclosed and which made a picture more like Santa Claus dream than anything except Christmas. A chariot in, the center was driven by bisoue Cupids and the animals were made of cakest Red shades were yelling the lights and red flowers and ribbons gave gay color to the scene and suggested, too, the approach of autumn color.
 The little hostess welcomed her guests wearing a white embroidered frock and big pink rosette in her hair. Her mother, Mrs. Robert Simpson, and her sister, Miss Sarah Simpson. assisted her in en- tertaining her little friends. each of whom left with Q gift from her-the girls with a box Of crimson candies as bright as the ribbons which depended from the dining room chandelier-the boys with a drum filled with candies

ABUSE OF THE AUTOMOBILE
Tax on Eyes and Nervous System
 Improved by High Speed

From the Youths Companion.
 The 20th century may fairly be called
 the age of speed. The trolley car, rush
 ing through the streets and country
 roads, replaces the jogging horse car and
 rumbling stage; the fast steamers take
 you to England in five days; the 1000 be-
 tween New York and Chicago is covered
 in IS hours, and mankind has almost for
 gotten the joys of quiet saunter. Dis
 tances have been shortened by the bicycle,
 the automobile and the motor boat. and
 the aeroplane is to outspeed them all.
 Although much is gained, perhaps, the
 physician knows that something is lost. The uses and benefits of the automobile, for example, are great if 1t is sensibly used, but when it is abused the danger to those in and out of the car is even
 greater. Driving high power car at full speed is pleasurabe form of intox-
 ication, but like all intoxication it has it's penalties, and they are heavy.
 The drivers eyes and nervous system may suffer seriously, although these are numerous minor ills to which he is liable that may come first and teach him mod
 eration.
 The tax on the eyes is enormous, for they are kept at constant strain looking for obstacles and inequalities in the road. The wind and dust in spite of goggles
 oftvl cause a troublesome inflammation that yields only to rest in a darkened
 room and appropriate medical treatment. A not uncommon affection of the eyes is a failure to focus properly, the ciliary muscles become exhausted and suddenly cease to act-a temporary paralysis that causes a sudden blurring of the vision. If that comes when the car Is going at l full speed the driver is fortunate if he can stop it in time. The only course for the driver who has had this affection is
