the distinction OF having chased Cupid,

Miss Armstrong; home d in Kane,
Pa, where she spent two years in
Young Women 81 Christian Association
work. She Is q pretty woman and has
Just graduated from q. Young Women'si
Christian Association training school
in New York City. She doesn't look
at all like a person who would put
cupid out Of commission, but she did.
The trouble all started several
months ago. when Miss Margaret Dice.
secretary of the association announced
one day. that %Cupid's 4'psrlorS was to
be abolished. Cupid's parlor consist
ed OF q small room on the main floor
which had been dedicated since the
erection Of the Building to the use
of the young women who roomed at
the building as a place in which 10
entertain their men friends. 4tf4was
properly equipped. with big rocking
chairs. soft settees and coy hooks
and there was pair of curtains hang
ing at the door which could be drawn
almost but not quite together.
IDEAL Place to Spoon.
This nom was an ideal mace for
the development OF courtships and
ceases" thrivsd. The girls in the
Young Women's Christian Association
we're happy and content and every
thing was running along smoothly.

She has since defended her action,
saying that experiments with microbe
are just as justifable as those with

anti-gas respirator. She took as
calm and scientific interest in her
own treatment as II she were one OF

She calmly described the symp-
