OLD SERVANTS WERE BEST
Kate DougIas Wiapln's Story Of the
Aged Buffers Great Sense of
Responsibility.

Kate Douglas Wiggin at her recent
authors luncheon In New York, talked
about servants--for this was lunch
con of Woman authors, and when did
women ever foregather without tack
ling the servant problem?
"The best servants are the old
fashioned ones" Mrs. Wiggin said.
These old-fashioned family retainers
are conscientious beyond belief. 1t is
almost pathetic to see how deeply at
heart they have the interests of the
family they work for.
There is a very aristocratic old
New York family living In Washing
ton square. This family's butler Is
now nearly seventy. He and his IA
Their before him have served in the
one house since the revolution--or
almost since the revolution.
''The old buffers sense of RESPONSE
hility extends even to the debutante
daughter OF the house, a pretty girl
of eighteen. At recent large dinner
party this girl devoted herself to the
handsome young man on her right,
turning entirely too much of her

KISS IN DARK FOR ECONOMY
1t Was Jersey husbands Way, says
Wife, Who Sues Him for
Divorce.

A novel way for a married man to
solve the high cost of living problem
Is to avoid maintaining a home, leay-
ing his wife to live with her folks
and he remaining with his people.
That is what Jersey City man did,
his wife alleges In her proceedings
for divorce.
They were married in 1888 and
parted two years later. She declared
he never supported her. only kissed
her In the dark. and his idea Of hay-
ing a good time with her was when
he called Sunday evenings aud took
her out for a walk.
She even charges that when he In
vited her to have an ice cream soda
he always first got the nickel from
her His meanness, she ayerred, was
shown only to her in that he stayed
out.at nights and that his bank ac-
count, started in 1898, had reached
only $24954, including interest. twelve
years later.
The husband insisted he had sup
ported her and that he had paid her
doctors bills. She admitted he had
paid the physician, but insisted the
reason she required the services of the
medical man was that she had not
had enough to eat. The case is before
Judge McDermott. of Jersey City, who
has directed the lawyers to file briefs.

WHEN EXERCISE WON'T HELP
II you Are Mentally Weary, Sit Down
Quietly and Comfortably and
Breathe Deeply.

Are you weary? Breathe more; eat
less.
Active exercise will not rest you
from mental work.
when you are tired with mental
work. says well known physician.
do not think you must take active ex-
ercise. That will make you more
weary. All you need is rest and more
air in your lungs. Sit down quietly
and comfortably and breathe deeply
twenty-five times. Rest a moment and
repeat.
"This air forced into the body re-
moves the waste material which makes
you weary.
"Don't eat all you want.
FOOD not needed for support Of the
system is so much extra work for the
body and requires more air to dispose
of 1t.
This regimen will diminish your
grocery bill and save your shoe
