EV YORK. "It Is impossible for
n woman to Itvo In comfort In
Now York on $3,000 a yoar." This la
tho claim of Mrs. Juanlto LoDar, who
hus petitioned tho orphans' court in
Scranton, Pa., to allow her an addl
tiohnl $1,000 bo alio can Bond her
olcveu-ycur-old sou to a military acad
emy. "During my husband's life," her
petition cites, "our incomo was $G,
000 a year, nnd tho estato Is now
yielding $8,000, so I don't sco what
law thero can bo that refuses a wom
an half of her Incomo." Mrs. LaDnr
lives In a comfortable, but modest
apartment, drosses well and lives on
tho best tho market will afford, but
she claims sho Is not extravagant for
buo doesn't owo a cent.
"I can't' got along on $3,000 a year,"
says Mrs. LaDar. "And I am not ex
travagant. My apartment Is modest,
but comfortable. It la absolutely Im
possible for us to live at a hotol on
account of tho expense, and wo havo
to take an apartment. I havo to keep
ono servant, bccnuBo, In tho first place,
1 am not strong enough to do tho
work, nnd In tho second place thero
Is no reason why I should put In mj
timo In tho kitchen. I consider a
servant ono of tho necessities.
"Then butter, eggs, meat nnd every
thing elso has gono up so, and I in

causo that was what I was raised to
have, nnd I nm unwilling 16 cat In

I consider money spent for good food
an Insuranco, out of which you got
heaps of pleasuro bcsldo.
"Pcoplo in Scranton nsk me why I
don't move Into tho country, because
I could live much cheaper thero and
economize I don't soo what good
that would be tho prospect looks un
utterably dark to mo. I would bo
lonely, nnd I. don't llko tho country,
anyhow, Now York Is a necessity.
"In regard to clothes. A womau In
Now York, if Bho Is to bo presentable
at all, must havo decent nnd npproj
prlato clothes. I maKo anu design
ninny of my own gowns, and Borne of
them I will confess to fixing over!
That Baves n groat item of exponso
for the budget. I don't think import
cd gowns or n great number of gowns
nro n necessity, but they must be well
made, of good quality, and have
plenty of stylo about them. Thorj

City Heated by Natural Hot Water
BOISE, Idaho. This Is tho only city
in the country boated by natml
hot water, taken from springs' near
the town, and which Is employed, not
nlono for heating purposes, but for
cooking and oven In sprinkling tho
streets of tho city in summer, thero
is such an nbundanco of tho water
flowing from three wolls. Tho water
remains nt about 175 degrees In .tem
perature and tho flow avoragos about
1,500,000 gallons a day. .
Ono hundred and ten1 homos in
BoIbo nro supplied with tho water,
which Is employed for all household
purposes, oxcopt washing of silver
ware, which tarnlshos in tho water,
charged ao It Is with sulphur and
minerals. Tho water is pumped from
throe largo wells, about six miles
cast of Dolse, in tho foothills of the
Owyhoes.
Interest wns first taken In tho wa
ter in 1800. Previous to that time
thero had been a great black mud
hole whoro tho wolls have since been
sunk. Tho water wns stagnant nnd,
tho spot was known simply as a placd
whero hundreds of rango cattlo had
dropped out of sight In the old days
Into what appeared to bo a bottom!
less well.
Tho cost of tho water a year to the
avorage family Is $135. Tho water
company which now has control o
tho wolls docs not employ tho meten
system in measuring the supply, but
tho water flow is gauged by tho slzd
of tho pipes running Into tho indl
vldual homos.
Tho cost of supplying a houso for
nil purposes with the natural hot wa
ter Is somowhnt heavier than, wltbj
tho ordinary furnace system, but
thero aro advantugos. Thero are no
furnaces in tho homes using tho nati
ural hot water, tho danger of flro la
groatly reduced, and thero is none of
tho, dirt and Inconvenience connected
with tho handling of coal and wood
for fire purposos.

them back to their camps, wherd

Tho ofllclal "Introducers" worked
faithfully, One of them would ap

they wanted to danco. They usually
did. Then tho official "introducer"
would disappear and presently roturn

hard again to heat the room properly.

you don't get fresh air; if you keep
them open you oannot quickly reheat
the room. The
