NEW YORK, June 23.-Slim,
1.-THE, sinuous, bare-legged, Lady
Constance Stewart Richardson
floats about the stage of Ham,
merstein's roof, in whose raucous
vaudeville bill her grace and
daintiness seem as thoroughly
out of place as a Whistler paint
ing in a Futurist art riot.
The Lady Constance has been
dancing ever since she was a
baby. In her childhood home, in
the north of Scotland, she learned
the difficult steps of the High
land ciansmen as sooH as she was
able to walk. She danced
through her girlhood, and her
marriage to Sir Edward Austin
Standardization of Pitfour
Castle, Perthshire, did not by any
means put an end to her gyra-
tions, nor did the arrival of three
sturdy sons. The eldest of these
is nine, and they are all learning
dancing from their mother.
Ethereal would perhaps be the
best word to describe this wom-
ans art. She is very slight-al-
though of average height, she
weighs only 121 pounds in her
costume, and the costume
weighs practically nothing at all.
1t consists of a tight white un-
dergarment covering her body
and few inches of her legs,
and over this a cloud of chiffon,
or some such filmy material. But
so delicate and graceful are her
motions; SO much does she seem
to express the spiritual and so

McCandless Good Suggestion

There has been lot of talk about getting that
100000 worth of business on Vashon island, now
why not do it?
Frank McCandless says it can be DONE As Ia
is hours closer to the producers of the island
than Seattle it looks if it ought to be easy. The
islanders themselves insist they want to come here if
the city will just make the way easy.
Heretofore one would put on boat to give
them adequate transportation, but this in measure
has been fixed up now, and the ranchers can ship
stuff to Tacoma as easily as Seattle But the roads
do not lead to this end Of the island and they need
fixing up.
The way to clinch the 100000 of those ranchers
for Tacoma, however is just to put in wagon ferry
the Vashon farmer drive right into this city.
Why not put on ferry to ply between Point De-
fance, Vashon, Maury and Gig Harbor?
Here is a real job for the Commercial club to push
through.

Those s'Emergency" Millions

1t is important to note that many inquiries are be-
ing made at Washington as to how banks can secure
part of the 500 millions of emergency currency
now in the treasury vaults ready for issue under the
Aldrch- Vreeland law.
As this money has to pay unusually high tax, a
demand for it would pretty clearly indicate that
some banks up against an emergency and that
the 1quiet panic" talked about is really pinching
Emergency" money may be secured on ordinary
bank assets, railroad securities and it will be
interesting to observe how far secretary of
the treasury will go in accepting such unusual
security

1.-THE Red Widow" at the Tacoma
again tonight.
Hitchcock Is one of the most
popular comedians on the Ameri-
can stage. Miss Flora Zabelle,
prima donna in 1.-THE Red Wild
ow," is one of the daintiest dan
GERS and sweetest leading ladies
ever seen in Tacoma. There isn't
much need to say more of the
show. There is humor in every
line. And-we must not forget
there's a chorus of SO per-
sons, without a homely girl in
the entire line. '"The Red Wild
ow" will close its engagement
tonight.
Howe Pictures.
All that glorious profusion of
color in nature which has hither-
to eluded photographers will be
reproduced by Lyman H. Howe
at the Tacoma theater five days,
starting Wednesday during a de-
Gghtful pictorial trip on some of
the most picturesque rivers of
France, through the historic pal
ace of Versailles and also
through the city of Paris. In
every detail each scene is a per-
feet and accurate transcription of
nature in color as well as in form
and motion.

suggestion of indelicacy.
And how does a matron of at
least thirty, the mother of a
promising family, keep herself as
slender and shapely as a sylph?
That may interest some who read
about the Lady Constance. The
answer is simple-she eats only
two meals a day, with meat at
only one of them, she does not
sleep too much, and she DANCES,

COST OF GOVERNMENT.

The increase in the cost of govern ment as well as living is 8 problem which municipalities must face and solve It is one which concerns the individual as much as the living cost for he is called upon to help bear the burden which by force of circum- stances becomes a double one. The federal census bureau in a late report shows that the expenditures of 145 cities, each of which has a population of thirty thousand or more increased from $419,S19,091 in 1902. to $717,S82,- 232 in 1910 This showed an increase in a period of eight years of 66.6 per cent. or q far greater increase than the country showed in population dur ing that same period. In these cities the per capita increase of taxation is 35,4 per cent
 It is not alone the city governments which are showing an increased cost of operation, but it is also true of the state and the nation. Connecticut is each year requiring larger expendi- lures and the nation is found in like situation. Much of this is of course due to an increase in population but the increase is far greater for the ex- penditures than it is in population. The getting of government down to a bus mess basis, and it's simplifica tion wherever possible is going to be a big help in keeping down the increase in the expenses, but it is also going to require some careful figuring to ready heavy expenses. How it is going to be done without increasing taxation is one of the phases of the problem

NEW LONDON HARRoR-

When Senator McNeil was asked in regard to his attitude concerning the bill for the appropriation of two mill lion dollars for the Bridgeport harbor when shown him by Senator Peck. he Eaid that he made no comment In view of his present determination to cause the repeal of the approp1 iation of one million dollars made to the New London harbor project in behalf of economy, it seems rather curious that he did not then and there inter pose such objection as would have made his position plain and put eheck upon it's presentation before the legislature. To oppose an appropria- flon in this end of the state by the last Legislature for the purpose of keeping down the expenditures and failing to show any opposition to a measure for Twice the amount in behalf of his home town, places a strange light upon he situation.
 There was an exhaustive investiga- ton of the conditions under which the New London harbor bill was sought Like other states Connecticut decided to do something for the one harbor which is available for an ocean steam ship terminal and the project promises much for the state in the way of fn- creased business. The same situation as to the need of economy prevailed Rt the last session of the legislature but 1t was not recognized Now it should be manifested in the actions of the present session and instead of blocking Connectfcut's progress they Ehould endeavor to help it along.

MONEY IN THE THAw CASE.

It isn't surprising that Governor Sulzer should be disturbed over the resignation of Dr. Russell. superin- tendent of MatteaWan, before he had opportunity to bounce him from the office. It is quite evident that the for mer superintendent realized his weak ness in time to avoid the further stim- ma of being discharged from a state office of much importance, however much he deserved 1t The investigation has brought to light situation which imposes upon the state of New York the same drastic action which District Attorney Whitman is giving the city.
 Much as it would be welcomed, it seems impossible to keep the famous Thaw case from before the public gaze. The fact that the family possesses money has been the cause of it's prom thence in the past and that very cir -cumstance is the reason for the scan dal which has been stirred up now in connection with the efferts to se- cure the release of the young man. That money is the root of all evil is being many times demonstrated in this case. Through it ThaW was undoubt- edly saved from the esectric chair and it has served to keep the matter be- fore the courts ever since in attempts to obtain his release. He has been ac- corded far more rights than poor man could have obtained and money has been doled out in every direction which held out hope for a release. Lawyers, alienistE and the keeper of the asylum have shared in this per sistent effort to overcome justice but it is to the credit of the courts that justice has not yielded. While money can accomplish many things it can also cause much trouble.

{Writen Specially for The Bulletin.) Harry Clinton was an honest, in- dustrious mechanic, holding good position which he had attained by faithful devotion to his employers in terests. They evidently appreciated this, and he had been promoted from one place to another over the heads of those whose term of service was longer than his, so that now he held under his authority some who at one time controlled him. They called it faveritism and said he was a pet of the old man as they termed their em- ployer when out of his. hearing, but | that gentleman could have told them a far different reason for Henry Clln- toms rapid advancement.
 Trained from childhood to afford a pretty home, well-furnished and pro- vided with every comfort. To this home he had proudly brought his bride some years before. and there they be- gan what promised to be g very happy welded life. In their native village he had known and loved Margaret Hast ings and she had returned. his af- lection with equal ardor, and was as proud of her husband and his sue cess as she we'll could be. Capable and well-trained in all domestic love she delighted in making her house a model of neatness and comfort, and when little Harry came to bless that home, nothing seemed lacking to per feet their happiness, for their little son was the idol of both father and moth = CT.
 Attractive in both looks and manner Margaret made acquaintances rapidly not only in her own neighborhood but outside it, to the envy of her neigh bors who were not thus favored. Early in their married life both Henry and his wife had associated themselves with a thriving church not far from their home, and there Margaret's abil- lty to help was soon recognized and she became a valued worker in all church activities. This brought her into notice with many whose wealth and social standing were far beyond her own-
 Among these was Mrs. Blumenthal, a wealthy widow of middle life whose husband had been quite noted as a jurist, and whose death some years previous had left his widow more leisure than she reiished. ChildIess and lonely she turned her energies in to church work, and there she met and admired Margaret Clinton, and took pleasure in bestowing much atten- tfon upon her. Mrs. Clinton natural ly felt fattered by this notice, and appreciated as he knew she deserved to be.
 As time went on. however, he some times felt that Mrs BIumenthal en- grossed too much of his wife's time and thought, particularly the afore- said lady became much interested in many lines of reform work, and ex pected all her friends to be as en- thusiastic as herself in whatever hap pened to be her transient fad or fancy.
 She at last announced herself suf- fragaette, and espoused the cause with all her heart, urging all her friends to do the same. The notion of entering the arena. of politics was at first re pulsive to Margaret, but she allow ed herself to be carried along by her leaders, till finally she became quite imbibed with what they called the progressive spirit
 Henry Clinton only laughed at her at first, but began to be weary of being

MEXICO QUIET.

The improvement which is being shown in the condition of affairs in Mexico gives hopeful indications of the r-sulnption of peace in that republic which for many months has been torn President Huerta is ruling with the iron hand which characterized the Diaz administration and which seems so necessary with the people of that country. This and education seem to De the solution of the disturbed state pf affairs. Huerta has apparently se- scured the confidence of the people and his promises and conduct have been such as to immediately quer any re- beilious spirit which the governors of some of the states have manifested.
 For the welfare of Mexico and all interested therein it is to be hoped that Huerta will be able to bring peace out of the chaotic conditions which have caused end of concern to this country Mexico itself has suffered no end Of terror to say nothing Of the harm Which has come to the business Of the states which have experienced the brunt Of the fighting. Reaction of course now accounts for the tenden- cies to adjustment of the troubles but it Is never certain how long Mexico can exist without an uprising The climax has evidently been passed and Huerta in his own way has the upper hand. Thoughts of Intervention are abandoned and the policy ef this eev- ernnaent has been fully Justified
