MRS. McKETTERICK (Cora
AVA and Martha Martin are on
their way to New York from
Florida and Cora McKetterick is
one Of the really fascinating per-
sons we've met in the last seven
years. She is exceedingly tiny
with a doll-like figure, beautiful
slim hands tipped by scarlet
pointed nails. Her voice is
sweetly husky, she has a domi-
nant nose, a gentle curving
mouth, eyes that are long in
stead of wide, thick lashes and
browS that sweep wing-like
across a wide forehead. She
listens - to everyone - delight
fully. She is gay and amusing
and she possesses a quick and
penetrating mind any man
land some have) might envy.
MRS. WOODWARD told the
VA most priceless incident con-
corning Mrs. McKetterick and
herself. Both have a friendship
of long standing, dating back
many years in Paris. However,
it was just two years ago that
Mrs. Woodward entertained for
Mrs. McKetterick in the States.
The next day after the dinner,
Mrs. woodward not only re-
ceived a note of thanks from
Mrs. McKetterick but also two
large cartons of cigarettes.
AS Mrs. Woodward has never
smoked in her entire life, she
wondered what in heavens
name had possessed Mrs. McKet-
terick to send her cigarettes.
And-it wasn't until months
later that she (Mrs. Woodward
discovered that the cigarettes
and the McKetterickS were one
and the same.
$3.50
THEN Mrs. McKetterick re-
l. membered the little girl in
Miami, Florida, who welcomed
her so cordially to the house
and then flew out to the serv-
ants and in a whisper that
could have been heard to Key
West, said, "For goodness sakes,
see that all the other cigarettes
are dumped out and only Philip
MorriseS are put in, for she is
Them"
0INNER was so spaced witt
" laughter, Florida and New
FORK chit-chat and a bit OF
Washington mixed in that we
could do nothing but listen and
also try and think if ever we
had tasted such delicious roast
beef and real Yorkshire pud-
ding and asparagus with just
right Hollandaise dressing. We
hadn't!
COFFEE and liqueurs later and
" Mrs. Harry Kite never looked
more stunning than in a gray
chiffon whose low and square
neckline was outlined in double
purple violets, and Mrs. McKet-
terick refusing to believe that
we were leaving to come home
to a typewriter and work. On
account Of, so she said, she was
once a newspaperwoman and
knew perfectly well that news
never began to break until
around two in the morning.
And so we had to say our
good-bys, but not for long, be-
cause New York isn't so far
away and all Of us are planning
to meet there with Mrs. McKet-

LARGER FUND
FOR SCHOOLS
DURING YEAR
FLORIDA INSTITUTIONS TO
RECEIVE MUCH LARGER
AMOUNT FROM MOTOR We
HIcLE DEPARTMENT

| TALLAHASSEE, Oct. 81
| (FNS) Florida schools will re-
ceive approximately 100000
more money from the Motor We
hicle Department in 1888 than
| they did in 1887, and a million
dollars more than they received
from the apartment in 1896, D..
w. Finley, Motor Vehicle Com
missioner, said this week when
he issued his departmental re-
port for the third quarter of the
year.
Total receipts for the first nine
/ months of 1888 amounted to So
Eo29,000 the record shows, as
! compared with $5,863,733 for the
l'entire year ofs91937, and 1888, :
724 forgall of 1896. sa
II The report shows 436, 993 tags
sold in the three-quarters Of this
year as compared with 447 ,965
for all of 1887, and 308, LOG for the
entire year of 1896. This can par
tally be accounted for, Commits
sioner Finley says, by a stricter
enforcement of the law.
! The expenses of the depart
ment have again been cut The
total for the nine months
amounts to only $252,3 78 and are
expected to be less than 100000
for the entire year, as compared
with a total of $685., 1877 for all of
1887. and S452.2I3 for all of
1896. This is due in large
measure to the fact that that the
force of 1872 employees who were
on the payroll when Governor
Cone took office in January,
1887. were cut to 141 in that
year and have been reduced to
only l2l this year.
! In the first nine months of this
year S5,9IS,3i7 has been turned
over To the schools, as compared
with $500. e26 for the entire
year of 1887, and S4,920.640 for
all of 1895. In June of this year
the schools were given $3.50. 900
from the surplus in the operating
/ expense fund. In November 1887
they received Sl75.000 from this
fund, and in November of 1886
they received 800. 900 from the
surplus
Commenting on the depart
ment's record Of increased rev.
enue and decreased expenses.
Commissioner Finley said he has
been only carrying out the in
stFuctlons he received from Gov
ernor Cone 10 collect every dol
lar possible for the benefit Ct the

Of expense possible with efficient
