EVEN IN DEATH.

Sam Bernard was talking at the Lambs
in New York about the recent arrest OF
some foreign dancers on the score OF i'm
modesty.
"Of course, these dancers were all
right" he said, "and they got of. Their
arrest was dictated by prudery. Such
prudery reminds me OF a hospital know.

or some equally feminine occupation. so

COOPERATION OF PUBLIC.

In cleaning up New York City the de-
partment has no such advantage. To DO
It promptly and thoroughly and to keep
Il clean when once clean requires the
general, hearty, voluntary cooperation OF
the public.
This. then, brings us 10 another. the

ALL FOR THE BABIES.

Clean ND for the babies!" is one OF the
good rallying cries.
Some of the other palpaoie arguments
In favor OF cleanliness are:
Give baby a clean place TO grow UP IN
and he's more sure to grow up
Better TO raise babies than flies. Dr'
fattens flies and kills babies"
Don't throw things In the street.

This was true of the work In Manila.

notable. in the island Of Cuba, where the
government conducted thorough. system

has been tried on a limited scale in
American cities the result has been sat

The work, as carried on in the German
cities. furnishes a model of thoroughness
and efficiency in this direction. There
no surplus matter is permitted to accu-
muIate. and ali sanitary laws are rigor-
ously enforced.
ANY one presuming to throw anything
in the street or leave any offensive mat

his neighbors freeze him by their frappe

A SOCIETY CAUTION.

The strange medley Of which New York
society as now composed led Frederick
Townsend Martin to say at luncheon:
Society. for all It's diversities and con-
tradctions, is uniform in one thing-and
that one thing is a lack OF culture.
"A society women from the Middle
West, as her limousine glided down Fifth
avenue. said to her daughter:
my dear. at the dinner dance last
night you talked entirely too much about
Ibsen and Bernard Shaw and Tolstoy.'
Dear me. why?' the daughter asked.
Strangers the mother explained,

ployed in q book shop"

little algebra and begin the study OF
good literature.
And, Just as every human being needs
work and play. comradeship and faith,
so. the founders believed. each one Of us
needs sometimes to be left alone. Espe-
cially they thought, 1t is good TO be alone
when there is lighting going on within,
when a chance word or hasty thought
may turn the issue OF a lifes warfare
So they try TO give each girl a room to
herself, where she may be alone with her
thoughts.
And there they kill two birds with one
stone. For as soon as you get girl and
a room together the girl will not only
use the room 10 day-dream I'm, but she

The plan of separate rooms was fol-
lowed at Bedford up to about a year
ago Since then II has been gradually
abandoned. not from any further illumi-
alton on the part OF the managers, but
for the excellent though unphilosophic
reason that so many women had been
committed there that there was no place
TO put them. To-day even In the honor
cottages" there are few girls who have
rooms of their own. and every night cots
are set up in all sorts of unlikely places
to accompany the overflow.
What, then, is the Bedford method of
reforming women? Briefly. TO teach them
how TO live a normal life. At the institu-
ton they live a great deal in the fields
and about the farm and learn what out
doors was made for. They do all the
farm work, the gardening, pig keeping.
