Europe's Richest City-

Which is the richest city in Europe?
Neither London nor Paris nor Milan,
but Basic, the great Swiss railway
center, Zurich, in neighboring can
ton, coming second. This is proper
tionate to the number of Inhabitants.
Basle's richest citizen boasts fortune
of 100000; another has 100000,
while no fewer than sixteen residents
pay income tax on round million dol
lars.
Eighty-two are French million
aires" possessing fortunes of mil
lion francs. The average wage-earn-
ing capacities of the various profess
sions form an interesting contrast.
Basle's doctors-the place is flooded
with medical men-are the worst paid,
averaging 9240 a year; druggists are
good for more, and lawyers the same.
Professors, on the other hand, earn
something like $500 year and bank
directors anywhere from $1,000 to
G1,2O0.

GETTING RESULTS
BY CLARA WEBER.

After the dinner dishes were done
Mrs. CHUNKY came into the living
room and sat down at the other side
Of the table CHUNKY was deep in
the evening paper.
Fred she began tentatively, your
cousin VIII is going to be married,
and you'll have to have new suit.
l want you to look nice"
CHUNKY was surprised, and much In
terested in his cousin. but he knew
the signs well enough to be cautious.
"Why, that's little bit sudden, isn't
it? He was here to dinner with your
own cousin Susie not more than three
weeks ago and he didn't say anything
about it, at least not to me-"
Maybe he didn't know it himself
then" returned Mrs. CHUNKY, "and
anyway men are not especially given
to noticing things. And such news Is
usually supposed to be a surprise,
really getting too shabby to wear to
any place at all. You'll just have to
stop at the tailor's and put in rush
order. The wedding is to take place
just week from next Wednesday,"
CHUNKY snorted. Gosh! that is In
a hurry. I'll venture the women Ia
back of it-probably afraid he'll get
away"
Mrs. CHUNKY flushed and seemed
about to make a tart rejoinder, then
evidently thought better of it and held
her peace as CHUNKY continued: you
know very well that l have to make a
big interest payment on the house
this month, and my insurance policy
The Watertown weekly leader. [volume] (Watertown, Jefferson County, Wis.) 1912-1917, 1914-12-22

Is due for a premium payment week
after next, and we've either got to
have two new rear tires for the car
or quit going out, and l for one can't
afford any new Clothes
Mrs CHUNKY assumed an injured
air. Now, Fred" she demurred,
sweetly, "you know just as well as
do, that you simply can't go in that
old suit. They'd talk about 1t for the
next fifty years. You just must get a
new one!"
That's always the way" snapped
CHUNKY glowering, "eternally after me
to spend money. Do you think I'm
made of it? Not more than month
ago you were limiting for a new dress,
too. Well, I'll give in this once I'll
go and get the suit, but we'll have to
scrimp to make up for it, I tell you"
ooh, I'm so glad!" chirped Mrs.
CHUNKY, running around the table to
kiss her husband You're such an
old dear, even II you do get little
bearish sometimes"
CHUNKY grinned and looked foolish;
he was afraid of his wife when she
acted thus II hope I can get some
thing that will go nicely with your
gray silk" he said, returning to what
he meant to be the main point
"But, Fred, my dear" objected Mrs.
CHUNKY firmly, 81 simply can't wear
that gray silk l can't do it at all
it's too old and too we'll known"
cit looks very WE'LL" explained
CHUNKY half hopelessly, land, as I
said before, not one of my people
have ever seen you with it on"
"But cousin Susan" began Mrs.
CHUNKY tragically.
Cousin Susan!" he answered criply.
What in the name of common sense
has she got to do with it?"
''Why. she was with me when /
picked 1t out, and she's the one your
cousin is going to marry"
CHUNKY was stricken dumb for an
instant II might have known it." he
grumbled. "I'll bet a dollar and a
half you fixed up that wedding just
so you might have a good excuse for
demanding that very dress you asked
for a month ago."
Fired CHUNKY, you know very well
I had nothing to do with those young
peoples getting engaged" retorted
Mrs. CHUNKY "And, anyway, If your
cousin Will proves to be just one-half
as good a husband as some other
members of his family I could men,
ton, Susan ought to be thankful to
me all the days of her life"
Maybe you're right, after all"
agreed CHUNKY, looking foolish again.
"Go ahead and get your dress But
for heavens sake be as light on the
price as you possibly can"
ooh, it didn't cost much" cooed
Mrs. CHUNKY happily, leaning over to
kiss her victim on the bald spot, "and
you're such a darling. I knew you
wouldn't care, so / got Susan to go
with me last week and pick out the
dress for the occasion. Chicago

SHAVING A WASTE OF TIME
Doctor GiIdersIeeve Expects the Pres
emit Fashion viii Ultimate
ly Die OHt.

The decline of Greek scholarship
was suggested to DR.. Basil L. Glider
sleeve, senior member of the faculty
of the Johns Hopkins university and a
foremost Greek scholar, as a theme
for comment in view of the fact that
he is just eighty-three years old. He
was not in a mood for a lecture and
he merely said that he had no new
comment to make along that line,
having treated it many times in his
writings AS he spoke he stroked his
beard and the subject of whiskers
came up.
Il have given much thought to the
decline and fall of whiskers," he said,
holding on to his own luxuriant
growth and recalling with his remark
able memory how it budded forth
many years ago. When l went to the
University of Virginia in 1855 l had
a beard and a year later think every
member of the faculty was similarly
adorned" he said. Then he paused
while he thought of boards that are
gone and the men who wore them.
Take the decline and fall of the
Roman beard. In the republic the
beard was out of fashion. But when
Hadrian came into power there was a
revival of boards. Hadrian himself
wore beard because he had warts
on his face.
II have asked men how in this busy
era they can spare time to shave.
Some have told me that shaving takes
none of their time and that they
shave while drawing their bath.
Shaving is only fashion. Boards
will come back, although I may not
live to see them"

DANGERI SCARLET FEVER

Scarlet fever is closing many of
tensive epidemics are threatened in
some quarters. Every parent should
be on the lookout for any suspicious
81 mptoms, for the protection of his
own and his neighbors' children
When scarlet fever is rampant
cred suspicious, as should any sign
OF feverishness. Accompanied by a
rash, these symptoms should lead to
prompt treatment and isolation as
scarlet fever.
No harm can possibly come from
isolating a case which may later
prove to be something else than this
properly dreaded disease. On the
other hand, all epidemics have their
beginning with single cases which
have not been guaranteed, either
from failure in diagnosis or from
careless or willful suppression of the
! truth.
Were scarlet fever outbreaks treat.
ed with the same promptness and
energetic efficiency that is being dis
played by the federal government
in foot and mouth disease of cat
tie. the disease could in all proba
bility be stamped out in a few years
| if rot in a single year.
This statement is made without
pessimism and with no desire to be
| sensational. On the contrary it is
perfectly reasonable conclusion
based upon the experience with cpl
demic disease in cattle and other
epidemic disease of man, notably vel
low fever and plague.
Scarlet fever is too common to be

scare the public into the drastic
! measures and eternal vigilance which
would completely control it. Eventu
ally the public will take effective
action because it is the reasonable
thing to do and not wait for a fright

WOMEN THIEVES IN CHURCHES
Communion When Communicates
Leave PeWs.

A clever band of women thieves is
suspected of working" the wealthy
congregations of several large Boston
churches, the Post of that city states.
Rectors and sections have been notified
recently of purse and handbag thefts
during services.
Circumstances have led to the con-
viction that 1t is the same band that
operated last spring among Back Bay
church-goers. Trinity church in Cop
ley square and ST. Pauls Episcopal
cathedral have been visited BY mem
bers of the female gang lately.
The suspects are all women. One
deep mourning, apparently to throw
her prospective victims off their guard.
Others of the suspected gang are stun
ningly gowned girls, attired always in
the latest styles. One Of the suspects
is about fifty years old, another is said
to be not more than twenty.
Invariably the thefts are from wom-
en- in the congregations, and most
often the stolen articles disappear dur
ing communion services, when the
communicates leave their pews to re-
ceive the sacrament.
They return, to find that the de-
mure, well-attired girl who sat beside
them is gone; SO also is the purse or
handbag, containing money or jewelry,
perhaps, which they had left on the
cushioned seat when they went for
ward. Or again, the sorrowful, aged
woman in Widows weeds, whose heavy
veil had completely hidden her fea-
lures, has vanished and the worship
ers costly muff or rich fur piece Is
missing too

The mood OF encouragement Is a

to do any sort of reckless thug. Dis
couragement Is most terrible when it
becomes despair, and each of us faces

it. Unless we have the right kind of
strength the possible adversities of
life may be too much for u.s.

IF YOU ARE STOUT
4 Few Hints From nm Authority on
Figure Forming.

If you are stout. be careful about
your clothes Choose plain styles and
darkest coiors, for you only mako
yourself conspicuous In the pale shades
or vivid hues with much trimming and
drapery.
And take heed rs to your corset BE
Il nttle eXtrnvagant as to this, and get
really good one which fits you COM
bly,. and don't wear II high corset
which pushes YOU up It's much wiser
10 have stays cut very low and then
wear brassiere or bust supporter.
You will look far better. and your fig
ure VIII be far more natural. Flesh
has 10 20 somewhere, and II Is hope
less to try and push 1t out OF the way
The best thing to do Is to distribute
IL evenly.
Try 10 carry yourself we'll even with
the added flesh. Keep your shoulders
supple and young and hold yourself
erect from the waist. Rise out OF your
hips as Il were Your exercises Will
help you toward n good carriage. and
your good carriage will make your
flesh less dishguring.

FOR DESSERT
Cream PuTK, Ice Crenm, Boiled
Custnrds and banana Split.

What shall / serve for dessert" is
often worrisomc question to host
ess. This becomes more SO when the
outlay must be considered. The aver
age hostess tires of plain Ice cream and
cake. and generally wishes to have
something different.
Pastry is all very well to serve il II
is of a fine quality and dainty II you
decide TO have pastry of any kind go
TO the best caterer possible Quality
instead OF quantity should be consd-
cred every time
Cream puffs filled with whipped
cream are very nice, also Spanish me-
ringues-hollow cakes covered with
chocolate and filled with whipped
cream-turnish nice ending TO either
| a luncheon or dinner.
Ice cream in forms with fancy cakes
is always a safe choice and can he serv-
ed whether the dinner be long or
short one. Ices are best To serve where
oysters or fish lave been the chief
courses.
! Boiled custards, such as floating is
land and Queen Mabs pudding. should
be made OF the very best materials. be
Ice cold and served in the daintiest
manner possible. Fancy cakes 40 with
either of these
Banana split is another innovat ion
and much favored where the affair Is
not much more than jtist refreshments
In shape, banana cut down through
the middle. Place on these largo TIA
blespoonful Of ice cream. Cut the
cream In half and push to each side,
hllinE the centre space with whipped
cream. Push the pieces OF cream to-
gether and on each end place ii large
teaspoonful of chopped fruit either
pineapples Strawberries, oranges or
preserved fruit Of some kind. Finish
the top with the inevitable cherry
Another way to serve this dish is to
use cake instead Of bananas. The por-
tons rs set forth above are large, and
where number OF guests arc pres
ent small round dish could be used
cutting one OF the halves of the ba-
mana In two. thus making n whole one
serve two people
BE consistent In what you serve.
Keeping In mind what has gone be-
fore and whether they make good
combination.
