Limit To Feminine Folly I

fcath tubs for toy spaniels, gum shoes,
perfumed cushions, witchhazel nose
and eye washes, made-to-measure
mackintosh and pyjamas for the
dyspeptic peta- of the rich women of
New York, as brought into public no
tice by the recent show at the Waldorf-Astoria,
there seems little left in
the way of idiotic extravagance. The
limit then, set Ms been .surpassed by
one woman, who sent to Paris for sev
en pairsone for each day in the
week of handsome bath slippers for
her King Charles spaniel. Pretty soon
these people will make as much fuss
over a pets as over a daughter's trou
seau. Portland Oregonlan.
Russian "Graft"
An English officer told a friend of
mine that "having to take over from
1 Russia the management of a Man
churlan railway, he was disgusted by
the cynical confession of the Russian
officer hitherto in charge of the mode
whereby he eked out his salary. 'I
charged every Chinaman full fare to
the other terminus for a ticket which
,took him only to the next station."
"But, then, he might be turned out
at the next station," suggested ' my
friend. "He always was," rejoined
the Russian officer.
London's Depew
Who is the most welcome, guest at
festive gatherings that are held in the
city? The Question can bo answered
"in once" as the saying goes, by every
dinerout. Sir Edward Clarke' is beyond
all dispute the possessor of the dis
tinction. His oratory, polished and elo
quent though it is, does not by any
means afford an explanation of the
fact. Rather .must his popularity be
attributed to his genial personality, his
loyalty as a citizen and his stanch
championship of- the corporation, 'the
guilds and all our municipal institu
tion. City Press.
