One hates to think, of course. that ones friends would come to see one for the sake of something good to eat or drink; but the popularity of the afternoon tearoom and the ice cream soda fountain should be con v1nctng hint to the woman who longs to be popular and to have people drop ping in of an afternoon.
 But if it is bleak winter day and the thought turns to steaming hot chocolate frothed with whipped cream; and the second thought occurs that at dear Jane Ms house hot choco- late and delicious little frosted cakes are always brought in to the chance caller. Jane M. is much more apt to have a visitor than some other hostess who never dispenses hospitality un- less company has been specially in- vited. The shop where hot chocolate is sold also misses a customer; but perhaps at Jane Ms one will run across two or three other pleasant acquaintances.

GENEVA, Switzerland. Wednesday.
Sept L)-(via Paris, Sept. 4. IL r. M
delayed in Transmission.)- THE Laus-
anne Gazette publishes a letter from an
Austrian officer fighting on the eastern
front, in which he says:
The Russian retreat is masterpiece
OF terrifying, systematic devastation
which recalls the retreat OF 1912. There
Is an immense sea of flames behind the
retiring Russian armies caused by burning
houses and crops. General Mischenko Is
followed by well organized detachments
of Cossacks whose duty It Is to burn
everything behind the army
When the Honveds tried to enter Kry-
low in pursuit OF the Russians every
street was aflame. They were unable to
pass through the huge furnace and lost
many precious hours in going round the
town by indirect roads across fields,
When the Austro-Hungarians arrived
at Wadimir-volynskyi they found the
town burning and the town OF Verba also
was blazing Every village on the Volyn-
