Astor after she had divorced her first
husband, Robert Gould shaw, and they
have lived since their marriage at
Clivedon on the Thames.
Astor's seat in parliament Is due
almost entirely to the energy and
determination of his young wife.
When he contested Plymouth the
first time he was defeated, and would
have forsaken politics had 1t not been
for his wife's ambitions. She took a
big house in Plymouth, entertained a
great deal and charmed everybody,
with the result that at the next cleo
ton Plymouth changed its mind.
Probably the most ambitious po-
litical hostess in London is Mrs. Lewis

Ethel Burns, of New York, the niece
of J.. Pierpont Morgan. When she mar

Is Education Too costIy2
From the New York Herald.

From the New YORK Herald.
Discovery that n young mans attend
ance at an American university represents
an outlay of $4,000 a year has raised the
question whether we are not suffering
from the high cost of education. :
As an exhibit the case Of this young
man is interesting, but nothing more. His
case is not typical, nor does the money
he spends bear any important relationship
to education. Most Of his annual outlay
must go for high living and wholly need
less luxuries; certainly it does not repre-
sent tuition or other fees paid 10 the uni
versity, which has the rather question
able honor of his presence.
Real education Is worth all II costs. 1t
cannot be obtained for money alone. nor
IN any college or university. Only the
groundwork, the foundation, can be laid
there. Education depends upon the char
Acter Of the superstructure builded upon
this foundation. and that must come after
departure from classic halls"
Education costs much-in time and hard
work. 1t makes no difference In the world
whether the foundation for IL is laid at q
cost of $500 a year or at so times that
amount All depends upon the man.

PARIS CALLS FOR RED HAIR.
And the Fashion Is for Real Brick Red.
Not Auburn.

New York,-Those women who
feel that one may as well be dead as
out of the fashion are need to exercise
considerable will power this spring.
For n thing, they simply must have
red hair to be in the fashion; not dark
red or any compromise shade, but real
brick red. That is the Judgment Of
Paris.
This vision, or nightmare, as you pre-
fer, OF the styles that may descend
upon America next spring. or perhaps
even this winter, was described today
by Charles G. KurZman. who returned
steamship Lusitania.
Paris, Mr.. KurZman says, Is the
most red headed city in the world.
There is a craze for red hair. Not the
shade that Titan loved nor the tint
politely called auburn, but the brick
trated On the stage, but Is now seen
at all the Brazilian dances and In
the and cafes.
And If she follows the rage in Paris,
the American woman must wear a
''corkscrew" skirt" as 1t Is called in
Paris having at tuIle tunic constructed
over spiral ribs, like a winding stair
case. '.- .,
Her waist will be cut very, very low
and will be precariously supported by
narrow shoulder straps.
She win wear bright green hair
combs, and her hair Will be banged
apd curled at the sides, like rams
horns. .
She will be hobbled and her skirt will
he slashed and draped.
'tThe corRscrew skirt" as the Pa
risians love to call the newest triumph
of the designers art, is all the rage at
dances in Paris, according to Mr.. Kurz-
man. 1t has ribs like a corset, only it's
ribs are spiral instead OF vertical. It
Is usually made Of tulIe and frequently
worn over a charmeuse skirt.

abound in the quarters. 1t is alleg-
ed that the sweat-box plays an inn

The Star is not pleased that any

incident goes to prove what the Star
contends, that i'll treatment of con-
victs is more likely to occur in state
owned institutions, where it is tc
nobody's interest to look after the
comfort of the prisoners, than it is
in convict lease camps, where the

CUT LOOSE FROM
CORPORATIONS

The great banking house of J. P.
| Morgan & Co. announces that it has
severed its. connection with some of
the greatest corporations in the
country with which it has long been
connected. This step, the firm an
nounces, was taken voluntarily in
response to IAN apparent change of
public sentiment" on account of
having to do with so-called inter-
locking directories. Among the
companies from which they retired
are the New York Central and the
New Haven railroads.
Unless the firm of Morgan & Co.
continues to exercise under the sur
face the same influence that it has
OPENLY shown, its withdrawal from
the virtual control of many corpora
tons will be conducive to the public
financial health. 1t has been herald
eded as tower of strength and con-
fidence in money matters, but like
most medieval towers, it seems to
have had secret passages and dun
geons beneath it. 1t received great

decided to confine itself to legitimate
banking, it and the country will be

LIBRARY SEEMS
ACCORDING TO LAW

About the best answer, and the
only one necessary. to Mayor Rob
ertson's statement that the ordinan ce
passed by the city council of Ocala
for the support of Carnegie library
is in violation of the constitution
may be found in the following from
the Tampa Times. 1t may be proper
to remark that Hugh c. MacFarlane,
one of the leaders in establishing the
library, is prominent lawyer, and
not in the least likely to put his time
and the money of a community in
which he is closely interested, into
any unconstitutional scheme The
Times says:
The opening of the Carnegie Ii
brary of West Tampa last night, with
a program in which speeches were
delivered in three languages, was
we'll received by the crowd of from
three to five hundred in attendance
With T. D. Fisher, of the West
Tampa council and the commercial
club, presiding, and short talks by
Hugh C. MacFarlane, father of West
Tampa R. NJ. Ybor, Cuban consul,
and by Vincenzo Antinorie, the pro-
gram was carried out in English,
Spanish and Italian. Part of the
ceremony was the unwilling of a
stone tablet setting forth the name
of the donor of the gift, Andrew
Carnegie, and the date An Amer
lean flag was drawn aside by Miss
Aleta Fisher, daughter of Council
man Fisher, formally opening the Ii
brary building. Mr. MacFarlane,
during his remarks, declared the
gift of Mr.. Carnegie to West Tampa
vas magnificent, and that there was
no grounds whatever for the objec-
ton which some people raise, to ac-
cepting Carnegie library offers, that
he is making them with the purpose
of erecting a memorial to himself
Nj. Carnegie's object, to benefit and
enlighten whole communities by the
placing of a library within them, is
entirely altruistic, he said Mrs. T.
A. Moore is librarian at present
having taken charge of that work
for the time being. The library was
designed by John Biggar, a West
Tampa architect, and built by Geo.
A. Miller, contractor. Last night the
interior was decorated with potted
plants and flowers, with streamers
and flags of the United States, Cuba,
Spain and Italy"

SHOWED THE
STRENGTH OF SAMPSON

in business letter received from
him yesterday, gives the explanation:
4 have been laid up for more
than ten days with a sprained back
occasioned by hurriedly lifting my
apto off the Coast Line track in or
der that the passenger train might
not be late. My car 'stubbornly'
stopped in the middle of the rail-
road track and only a few yards of
grace saved me. The train was
rounding the curve and for some
cause I did not hear the engine blow
its whistle. Those who saw me per-
form the feat said | used Sampson

confined to my bed until yesterday

CANDIDATE FROM
HERNANDO COUNTY

Col. George c. Martin, of Brooks

is believed that Col Martins proba-

rumor has been persistent for some
time that a new Richmond would
soon enter the senatorial arena.
Col. Martin, so it is, learned, has
received widespread demand in Her
nando and adjacent counties for his
candidacy to take on form. That
Col. Martin will consent to make the
run has not as yet been ascertained.
but his friends in Brooksville and
over the state are SO sure of his
ability and fitness for the place and
SO confident that he IS the man OF
the hour in the coming contest for
seat in the United States Senate,
that he can present his name with
