Moroslni , famed for the splendor of her costumes and the beauty of her figure , upon which the creations of the costumer's art are always shown to the best possible advantage , talked to a reporter of the gowns which she will wear this week at the horse show. "There really Is 'no ' end. to the amount a woman with money could spend on dress , " she said. "When I say $200,00 a year , I am putting the figure very low. A well dressed wo man has at least 100 gowns a year. Some of mine cost as high as $0,000 , others less than $1,000. I would av erage them at about $1,000 apiece. Naturally this item does not Include house gowns. For the horse show I always have a number of gowns made. It Is true that I have a new costume for every time I appear at the horse show and for the times I exhibit In the afternoon and morning I have nine or ten gowns made for this purpose. "My shoes , of course , are an Hem in my expenses , as I have a pair to match every gown. They cost me $50 a pair. I have about fifty pairs a year. "Stockings ? " Why , I couldn't tell you how much I pay for them a year. I wear so many. I pay from $7 , for the plain black silk ones , up to $50 a pair. Do I ever wear a mended stockIng - Ing ? Never , never. Nor do I ever wear a pair of gloves twice. As I pay $4 a pair for my gloves , that amounts to over $1,460 a year. "My single handkerchiefs cost from $25 to $100 apiece and the tiny ones I put In my gloves cost from $5 to $10 apiece. 'My lingerie costs me in the neigh borhood of $20,000 a year. "Furs make an Hem of about $10- 000 a year. "I have received loiters from people criticising me for my reckless expend- ! ture on clothing , but I do not agree with them In thinking that I am doIng - Ing wrong. My spending this money for clothes keeps hundreds of people employed. " CARUSO | NPOLICE COURT _ Enters Flat Denial , but Testimony of Arresting Officer is Corroborated. New York , Nov. 22.

ICckols of Chicago spoke on the question of cunency reform. His address , which was oCfdfnth , was devoted to an argument that the banks be given power to Issue u credit currency.

The demand for better things springs neither from panic nor threatened distress.

" In conclusion Mr. Eckels urged the necessity of granting more adequate power of new Issues to the banks. GRANGERS INDORSE RATE BILL Demand That Railroads Erect Gates at All Rural Crossings.

The psy- diologlcal nature or somnambulism was the Hiibjoct of u remarkable loc- lure by Prof. Pierre .louol , of the Paris Sorbonne at John Hopkins uni versity. In the uoiii-HO of his roiimrlcti ho said : "Tho Homnambullst lias not our dull memory of things. He sues the ob jects ho speaks of and really hears , feels and ( ouches them , exactly as It they were real. "When a pal lout speaks , ho has u Iliiuncy of language and oven an olo- iliienco that are superior to his nor mal powers. When hu acts ho has n precision and quickness ( hat are won derful. "Tho man who ran to n housetop showed more agility than he would luivo bad In his normal slate , oven 1C ho had not been paralyzed.

"When a patient gets hack to con sciousness , ho forgets everything that has happened dm Ing lijs dollrlum. Ifv you try to awaken his memory with questions , two things result. You will either do It so vividly that ho will fall Into a somnambulistic state again , or ho will bo unable to recall It all. "Tho chief psychological character istics of somnambulism are during the crisis of the huge unfolding of all phe nomena connected with Iho cause of the ' delirium. The next Is the absence of every sensation , every memory not connected with the delirium. "After the crisis , three things are noticeable a return to consciousness , normal memory , and entire forgetfulness - ness of all connected with the som nambulism.
