Obesity ouht to arise and sing- a sons of
praise to Fay Templeton. She has re
duced the flesh-reducing- buslnesB to a fine
art, and she la so pleased with herself
tbat she wants to tell womankind every
where all about It. '
Every woman In the land who knows
anything knows that Fay Templeton was a

was fat But now, what a change) Do you
remember how Lillian Russell some time
ao cut capers all over the farm fields
north of Manhattan trying to get rid of a
part of nor avoirdupois 7 Well, Fay Tem
pleton baa done more than that. Bhe has
become a martyr, or a martyresa, as she
calls herself. ' IHd she drink Ice waterT
Not a glass. Did she drink Ice cream
sodas T Not one. Fact la, she made her
flesh-reducing ordeal a sort of a sensation
with herself. She even wore oil skins and
sheet rubber and took all sorts of violent
exercise. It was stunts with her, as she
puts It
Tou who have been listening to the -physical
specialists for years and who yet buy
eleven yards of dress goods In ,one piece,
listen to what Fay Templeton haa to soy.

It's nice to spring a sensation, says
Miss Templeton. "but it Is a little sudden to
hear the dear people gasp, 'How did she do

publlo, won't you tell just how you did ltT"
Fay, the transformed, smiled.
"I don't like to give all the business
away, as I am thinking of having this new
specialty of mine dramatised. I think It
would make al big hit. don't you? But I
will tell the story of how I have ceased to
be Fay In name only.
"It's hard, hard work. That Is what It Is.
Thirty-two pounds In ,elght weeks. Now
that Is something to be proud of, isn't It?
I have actually lost thirty-two pounds.
"I have gone through a course of training
that would make some people die of ennui
Just to hear about It But I certainly feel
gratified."
It really took two looks to be convinced
that the figure In the tight-fitting widow's
gown, with its graceful curves, was really
Fay Templeton of the erstwhile floatin
draperies.
"The Templeton" style has become an
accepted Broadway term, for heretofore
the star gowned herself In the most effect
ive garments, with those deceptive flowing
sleeves and fluttering draperies that wero
a snare and a delusion to the eye when It
came to disguising too portly suggestions.
No Mirror Illusion.
"Please deay the statement that Coney
Island mirror Illusions are used to make
me look thin. -It isn't so, as you can see
for yourself.
"I am thirty-two pound's thinner than I
was eight weeks ago, and I will be twenty
five pounds thinner before I stop training.
Do you see this widow's gown?" asked
Miss Templeton, with a delighted laugh as
she glanced at a decidedly attractive figure.
"Why, I am the happiest thing in town
over the fact that at last I can wear It. Do
you know I have simply pined to wear a
tlght-flttlmr widow's gown.
"I wanted to play the widow. I have
longed to play every part that calls for
widow's weeds, and now. thanks to my
training, here am I.
"Talk about the strenuous life! Why,
President Roosevelt doesn't begin to ap
preciate the meaning of the term. And If
any panting fat lady thinks I have attained
my present proportions with any degree of
ease let her listen to my strenuous story.
"Do you know, I have denied myself
every pleasure I really cared for. I got up
every morning early and walked from my
home In West Thirtieth street up to West
Forty-second street.
"This in Itself wasn't a great Joy. I got
there at 8 o'clock and then the fun began.
It Is a Secret.
"Now, this Is a secret, but I will tell It to
you. I wrapped myself in four and a half
yards of sheet rubber, then put on a
sweater and divided skirts, tennis slippers,
and went to work.
"At first I thought I simply couldn't stand
It. It's terrible to get up early In the
morning and convert one's self Into a
sheet rubber automaton.
Talk about sackcloth and ashes!. For
genuine penance, I advise sheet rubber and
sweaters. First of all, my 'trainer' insisted
upon my getting myself toned down. This
polite term means giving up all the things
you enjoy eating and drinking. Talk about
the great unquenched thirst! That Is mine.
I haven't had a good drink for eight
weeks." .
" 'No Ice water; It produces flesh.' That
was the stern command. Many's the time
I have fairly shrieked out, 'Oh, had I a tub
of Ice water, and could take one good,
satisfying drink, I know I could consume It
all!'
"Fancy taking little nips of cracked Ice
when your very soul was thirsting!"
The Templeton eyes rolled In mock an
guish, and the Templeton laugh rang out
the Infectious contralto peals.
Not lBablaa Matter.
"It Isn't a laughing matter, though, I
assure you; It Is deep-dyed tragedy. A flue
melodrama. I really am enthusiastic upon
seeing myself starred in a 'fleah-leslng spe
cialty.' I certainly would be an adept.
"Well, to return to the torture. When I
arrived at the gymnasium and had put on
my paraphernalia I went through gym
nastic stunts that were certainly strenu
ous. Talk about back bends, barball sticks,
punching the bag, using the rowing ma
chinethere's nothing I didn't do.
"When I would stand on the scales and
sea only a few ounces lost I was ready to
weep with disappointment, but when the
pounds began to glide away my Joy was
untold.
. "It I ever lose my Job I believe I will give
lectures on how to reduce flesh. I can
make It realistic, all right There Is one
thing I must tell you about, and that Is
my awful longing for ice cream sodas."
Miss Templeton laughed till her widow's
bonnet toppled,
"Now, isn't that the kid's taste for me?
Why, I can't pull myself past a soda foun
tain! My longing for Ice cream BOda is
something awful! No 6-year-old Mary Jane
ever made her mother's life hideous for a
soda like I torture myself overcoming my
longing for those 'confections.'
"Now, it isn't true that I have been so
journing In country byways, reducing my
flesh by outdoor exercise and starvation.
I've found that banting does no good. I
have curtailed my diet and have cut out all
starchy food, all pastry, and desserts, and
good things but I'm not starving.
Hired a Hone) Unit It.
"When I first decided that It was time for
me to stop growing I hired a house over in
Jersey, Bag and baggage I packed over
there to begin the great transformation
work. Well, I couldn't get anyone to live
with me. Myrunt was 111 and one by one
mishaps turned up till I got disgusted and
came back to New York.
. "I had to pay six weeks' rent, though, In
spite of my short ten days' stay, and per
haps that lightened my weight a little.
"I am glad I came back, though, for If I
had stayed I would never have gone to the
Ufa saver, and think what a work of art
would have been lost!
"No, don't tell me I ought to be satisfied,
for I am not. I am going to lose twenty
five pounds mora. Tou see, I was hardly
the dainty figure to prance about the stage,
and it Is absolutely necessary for me to do
a little dancing. Just you wait and In
that it's the hardest work I ever did In my
another eight weeks I will be Fay the Fairy
for truth.
"Anyway, the moral of the story Is that
we will sacrifice anything for art," said
Miss Templeton.
"Just say this for me, though, please,
life, and now that the secret Is out I do
hopo that perplexed fat ladles will stop
writing me letters asking nA how I re
duced my flesh.

Old Maid Insurance.
In Denmark there is what la called "old
maid Insurance." Young women who fear
they may never have a good opportunity
to marry or who for some reason best
known to themselves choose to remain un
married need not be overanxious about
thulr maintenance In old age. lly paying
a certain sum each year until they are 40
they receive a pension for life. If they

higher education and the great freedom
now allowed to unmarried women the
number of bachelor maids Is Increasing
each year. A pension after reaching 40
years of age would save them from the
constant need of skimping in their younger
days to be secure from poverty In old age,
and there would not be. the disagreeable
temptation to marry merely for the sake
of support.
One particular advantage to an insurance
company of this kind would be that none
of the Insured would be Impatient about
proving their claim to the pension. What
bachelor maid of 40 years would promptly
state her age and call for her dues unless
dire necessity compelled her to acknowledge
the fact? She would willingly pay the
premium year after year, long after the
age of 40, happy In the thought that her
age was a secret not to be admitted even
to herself.
The profit to underwriters from such
cases would be immense and it is strange
that enterprising Americans have not al

old molds who will never reach the age
of 40. Chicago Chronicle.
PERDICARIS KIN ROMANTIC
Membess of the Family Have Flfnred
im Many Itemarkable
Adventures.
1
As some men are born to be fortunate,
so some are destined to a romantlo career,
and of such is the Perdicarla family. Ion
Perdicarls, who, with his stepson, Crom
well Varley, was snatched from his beau
tiful home by the Straits of Gibraltar and
carried off "by the brigand Raisouli, is the
grandson of a Gree. physician and patriot
who was killed during the struggle for in
dependence. The orphan had left his na
tive land to seek a home with an uncle
who held a high post at the court of the
Khedive, but when he landed at Alexandria
he heard that the uncle, his only hope, had
been bowstrung, the usual mode of going
out of office In Egypt In those days. The
captain of the small Levantine coaster In
which be had come to Egypt saw him and,
hearing his story, with southern generosity
gave him his purse, and young Perdicarls,
from some Impulse or other, turned his
face to the east and railed to the holy
land. There he fell under the Influence of
the American Missionary society, who took
him to Jerusalem, where he was taught In
tholr schools, and, finding him a lad of
more than usual promise, they sent him to
America, to finish his education at the Uni
versity of Harvard, with the view of his
becoming a missionary. This, however, was
not to be. The young man had no vocation
for the ministry and In time he became a,
public lecturer.
Again fortune and romance came upon
the scene in the person of a young lady
whose guardian was endeavoring to keep
the helrss" property In his own particular
family by marrying her to his son. She was
a descendant of the famous and unfortu
nate De Witt, grand pensionary of Hol
land, and was a lady of remarkably strong
character. Therefore when she determined
to jnurry the young lecturer she did so In
spite of the opposition of her guardlun. The
tide of prosperity had now rot In. and In
the course of time the poor boy who had
left Greece a penniless wandered returned
to Athens as America's first consul gen
eral, accredited to the country whose In
dependence his father hud upent hi life
blood io gain. This Is romance as it vhould
be poetry and Justice and a symmetrical
ending. The old couple sleep In the little
European burying ground at Tangier. But
Ion Perdicarls' own life has been full of
romance, Li has made sUsuuuus effurts
to set the crooked straight lit a land where
the crooked grows more freely than the
straight and In doing so he raised not a
few enemies and underwent many of the
difficulties and dangers to which reform
ers are liable, more particularly In a land
where the primitive Instincts are but little
curbed and pensions have their natural
outlets. But for all that there Is no
doabt about the respect In Which he is held
by Christian and Moslem allko. And In
deed the fact of his being kidnaped la a
proof of the prominence of his position.
He is a man of the world In the sense of
possessing the graces that citizenship of the
world confers on those who have known
many men and cities; ho Is profusely hos
pitable and an Instance is recalled of It
which may come to his mind now,
A boatload of German traders was over
turned by a great Atlantic roller far down
on the southern confines of Morocco, and
the survivors, unable to regain their ship,
underwent much privation. Including a ter
rible imprisonment among the wild tribes
that owe but slight allegiance to the sultan.
In the end they were released and after
much hardship regained civilization. On
reaching Tangier Mr. Perdicarls prepared
a banquet for these poor wanderers, and I
remember one of them, In returning thanks,
speaking with great pathos about the con
trast of his experiences then and now.
It Is curious how persistently romance
touches not only the Perdicarls family It
self, but those who are connected with it
even for a time. When they first went to
Tangier some thirty years ago Mrs. Perdi
carls took with her, as a companion, a girl
whose career up to then had for Its nils
en Bfine the usual background that sur
rounds the Uvea of most middle class Lon
doners, but her association with the Per
dicarls seems to have created for her new
possibilities, and soon after her arrival at
Tangier eho attracted the notice of the
late sherlof of Wazan, who after the sultan
Is the most notable figure In West Barbary.
The sherief of Wazan Is of the lineage of
the prophet and accounted very holy not
only In Morocco, but In Algeria. Sanctity
In Moslem countries Is not necessarily due
to a life of asceticism. The late sherief
was not self-denying, and the lady did not
deny him either, so she, perhaps impru
dently, became the wife of this ,holy man
and presented him with two sons, and the
negotiations with Raisouli have been car
ried on partly through the medium of the
present sherief.
The house from which Mr. Perdicarls
and Mr. Varley were kidnaped Is placed on
one of the most lovely and Interesting sites
In the world. Perched hlih over the glisten
ing straits, the waters of which are em
erald and lapus-lazull, flecked here and

AMERICAN FLAGS IN BATTLE
Splendid Record of the Union Stand
ard from Brandy ine to
Santiago.
Although the resolution by which the fing
became a national standard was not offi
cially promulgated by the secretary of
congieea until September S, 1777, It seems
well authenticated that the regulation
Stars and Stripes was carried at the battle
of the Brandywlne, fought on September
11, 1777. This shows that the contract en
tered Into by Betsy Ross must have been
carried out with great expedition, and that
the flags had been distributed among the
line regiments of the revolutionary army
early In September. The flag first displayed
In battle at Brandywlne creek had thirteen
stripes, alternate red and white, and as a
union thirteen white stars were displayed
on a blue field.
The flag which was carried by the men
In blue and buff during the battles of the
revolution remained unchanged until May
1, 1796, when, by a previous act cf congress,
two additional stripes were added to the
body of the standard and two stars to the
union. These additions were nuixlo to
represent the states of Vermont and Ken
tucky, which had Just been admitted to
the federal union. As no further change
was made In the national flag until 1818, It
follows that the regimental colors carried
during the war of 1812 were of this design.
Thus the American flags surrendered by
Genera) Hull at Detroit and those captured
by the British at Bladensburg and Wash
ington must all have displayed fifteen
alternate red and white stripes, as well as
the fifteen stars in the union.
In 1818, by an act of congress, the stripes
of the national flag were again reduced to j
thirteen, and It was declared that the addi
tion of a star to the union should thence
forward represent each new state. A news
paper of the time, still kept In the govern
ment archives, said: "By this regulation
the thirteen stripes will represent the num
ber of states whose valor and resources
originally effected American Independence,
and additional stars will mark the Increase
of the states since the present constitu
tion." From this time on the Increase of
stars In the constellation which formed the
union was steady, and during the war
with Mexico, In UHS, twenty-nine white
stars were displayed In the blue field.
The flags borne by the regiments of the
northern army during the four yenrs of the
great civil war had thirty-five stars In the
union. 'ITils was the full number of states
then forming the national federation, as the
United States government had refused to
recognize the constitutional right of a
state to secede from the union. The reten
tion of the stars representing the southern
states was regarded as a serious breach of
