Morgan, an AiIing Man,
Sails for Egypt After
Giving Testimony Here

NEW YORK, March 31.-Mr Morgan
sailed from New York, an ailing man.
for Egypt January Z, within three
weeks after he had testified before the
Pujo committee investigating the money
trust. For weeks there had been re-
ports that he was far from well, but
these were somewhat allayed by the
announcement that no physician would
be taken with him. He was accom-
panied by his daughter, Mrs. Herbert
l.. Satterlee, and the Count and Countess
Jean La Cree, the latter a daughter
of his partner, Charles steele.
He met his first mishap before the
liner on which he sailed reached the
lower harbor. The fog was thick, and
the vessel poked her nose into the mud
off Governors Island. but was extricated
damaged. After an uneventful trip
across the Atlantic, Mr.. Morgan reached
Monte Carlo January 20 and Naples the
next day. With his party he motored
40 the ruins of Pompeii. The next day
he sailed for Alexandria. He reached
Cairo February z, and shortly afterward
started on a trip up the Nile.
Alarmist reports concerning the fnan-
cier's health were sent to the world
from Cairo. These dealt chiefly with
the declaration that Mr.. Morgan was
suffering greatly from indigestion, that
the transatlantic trip had failed to ac-
health, and that physicians and nurses
had been summoned. The stock mar
kets of the world responded to these
rumors, and Mr.. Morgan's son, in New
York, issued a reassuring statement
concerning his fathers health.

THE MODERN WOMAN.
V-SOClETY WOMEN'S PROBLEMS.
BY Frederic J. Haskin.

There is no harder part for the modern
woman to play in the great drama of life
than that which frequently falls to the
Lot of the society woman. Despite all
assertions to the contrary, the modern
society woman in most instances is a
sane, clever person with generous i'm
pulses and many serioas ideals. instead Of
the vain, giddy, useless creature critics
would have US believe. She Is usually
fully alive to the responsibilities of her
position and sincere in her desire to full
fill them properly. The term, 'noblesse
oblige'' is ever before her. although in
her very efforts to fulfill that obligation
she is often misunderstood and harshly
criticised. These criticisms must pass
unnoticed because an explanation might
injure the feelings of the very person she
desired to help.

right to do than it would be il 1 were

true Of similar entertainments given since
then.

Also Had His Failures.

In finances Mr. Morgan had his failures
as well as successes. He organized the
Northern Securities Company, which was
dissolved by the United States govern
ment as an alleged combination in re-
straint of trade. The underwriting of the
international Steamship Trust by the
Morgan firm was complete failure. The
business coup that marked the climax of
his career as a captain of industry was
the organization of the United States
Steel Corporation, one of the largest in
stitutions of the world.
Mr. Morgan's collection of art works
probably is the most valuable individual
one i'm the world Once Mr.. Morgan kept
abroad a collection OF objects of art val
ued at many millions rather than pay the
duty on them demanded by the United
States government.
. II was not alone for his own satisfac-
ton that Mr.. Morgan spent millions in
his collection Of art books and antiques.
He gave away his treasures almost as
fast as he bought them-many of them to
public institutions
romantic incident in Mr.. Morgan S
life as an art collector was his purchase
OF the famous cope of Ascoli which
WIS presented by Pope Nicholas to the
city of Ascoli in Italy. The cope had
been stolen and Mr.. Morgan returned it
TO the Italian government. King Victor
Emanuel decorated Mr.. Morgan for this
act.

League and similar organizations When
the investigation made regarding the
laundry workers in New York last year
revealed the fact that after an elaborate
entertainment at one Of the large hotels
laundresses often were obliged to WORK
for from twelve to twenty-four hours
without any rest, one prominent woman
went. TO the manager OF a hotel she usual

event" The man knew that the lady
would keep her word, so through her in
fiuence the oppression of the laundresses
in that establishment was practically
ended.
The influence Of the society woman is
an important factor in any reform. Years
ago Susan B. Anthony said: There never
win be any real progress made In woman
suffrage until 1t becomes the fashion
1t could not become the fashion until
women of social prominence took II up.
After Mrs. Clarence Mackay and Mrs. y,

ashamed of believing in equal rights in
New York. On the contrary. II she does
not belong to a suffrage club she begins
to make apologies for being so far be-
hind the times.
The charities and philanthropies of the
society woman are almost boundless, but
she is constantly perplexed to know
whether 1t Is best to follow them secretly
or to let her interest be known In order
MANY women find the keenest pleasure in
helping those in need, only to have the
edge Of their own enjoyment lessened
when news of their efforts is published

type of social climber exists who Is trying
to purchase social recognition by her
philanthropic work and contributions to

The term society woman" covers a
wide range and, therefore, includes
many individual types. Each of them is
particular circle. The wife Of the one
rich man in a small town of necessity is
the social leader there and has many OBJ
legations resting upon her which her
neigflbors have not. 1t is her privilege
to lead in every movement for the bet
torment Of her town. If she is a timid,
shrinking person this may be hard to do,
but the great influence OF the women's
organizations of the present time is
teaching her the duty of fulfilling her re-
sponsibilities in this respect and she is
rising grandly to the occasion.

What Every Needlewoman
Should Commit to Memory

Sheets and pillow cases should be
hand hemstitched, if we intend put
ting hand embroidery ON them.
The hem on a sheet should be
about fifteen inches deep, on a pillow
case two and one-half inches deep.
The hens on towels may be made
from one-half to two inches deep, un<
less the towel is very large.
When iaces are inset into towels or
sheets and pillow cases they should
be placed above the hem half its
width and should then have another
hemstitched line the same distance
above the lace.
Monographs may then be put above
this line. In the case of a very wide
band. the second line of hemst.tching
may be omitted.
It is better not to put in the lacees
over the sewage, because the lace will
stretch at the ends.
All these little points make work
more choice and careful, and careful
ness is part OF the beauty of hand
needlework
About three Shreads may be drawn
for hemstitchirv in "a coarse line.
For double shemstitching, one may
draw more threads,
OF course, the drawing of threads
weakers the fabric somewhat, and the
towel does not wear quite as long.
