tickets for the box be sold again for the benefit of the cause After Fridays meeting the scene of the antl vivisectlon campaign will be transferred to Albany Hearings on the two bills now before the legislature restricting and regulating vivisection are being arranged and the active campaign conducted by the friends of these measures has had a very noticeable effect upon the attitude of the senators and members of the assembly It is Just beginning to be realized at the State capital that the opponents of vivisection are In the Cght to stay and that they Intend to carry it to a finish Hearings Asked on Bills Warren I Lee member of the assembly from Brooklyn who Introduced the Bellamy bill In the lower house yesterday asked Jese Phillips chairman of the house judiciary committee to fix March 4 as the date for a hearing on that measure Senator George A Davis of Erie who Introduced the bill in the upper house has fixed Wednesday February 26 as the date for the hearing before the senate Judiciary committee of which he Is chairman Assemblyman Frank Johnston who introduced the societys own measure has asked for a hearing on March 11 In his opinion and that of many others the Davis Lee bill does not go far enougn Assemblyman Lee said yesterday that the popular Interest in the anti vlvlsec tion cause was beyond anything he had imagined before he undertook to Introduce the bill drafted by Bellamy of Brooklyn I am receiving hundreds of letters every dey commending this measure said Mr Lee Among others 1 received to dav a letter from Mr Bellamy in which lie sets forth very clearly what is bill is and what It stands for Extremists Oppose Measure In his letter Mr Bellamy said I drew this bill myself after conferences with physicians It is a broad reasonable measure to which there can be no reasonable objection As you have of course observed the bill Is not an anti vivisection bill in the strict sense of the word and it is opposed by the sentimental extremists who disapprove of all vivisection as well as by the few extreme vivisectionists who would have no restriction whatever upon vivisection by anybody whether competent or otherwise to perform such experiments 1 have found that this bill is recognized by all fair minded people as an extremely just measure the fairest in fact offered to the legislature of any reascn why it should not pas A very

Washington as a place of residence Mrs Marshall Field who was one of the euthuslastle purchasers of a lot In the Capital has Just about decided that Chicago is good enough for me If she builds at all therefore Instead of doing so right away aa she had last fall Intended It will not be for many a long day Mrs Field has found Chicago most agreeable this winter as Chicago has likewise found Mrs Field and to this mutual attractiveness much credit is due on both sides If Chicago has provided entertainment for the social leader she has provided no less diversion for the city In the way of affairs social Almost every right this winter when she herself had not been urgently sought as a guest Mrs Field has been the hostess at some sort of rartv which whatever the novelties of Its closing features was pretty certain to begin with a dinner As Mrs Field has the gen tle art of hostess ship reduced to Its ultimate perfection the Invitation to dinner at her house carrleB more of connotatlve significance to the circle of her friends than the mere pleasure of eating fricasseed nightingales tongues oft the famous old Shrewsbury service of gold An all round good time Is what everybody counts on and gets at Mrs Fields But one precaution only Is self imposed on the guests and that Is a restriction In the matter of openly admiring any thing about the house for such an ex pression Is sure to bring down the ob Ject to them as a possession and If too unwieldy to handle is later delivered by express An occasion still fresh in the minds of all those present was a dinner at which In a general hilarity some one threatened to walk away with one of a series of rare prints At the end of the evening every guest was walking away with at least one rare print of the series which Mrs Field had torn from the wall and insisted upon giving away as little souvenirs Sir Gerard Lowther the British minister to Morocco who has been greatly aided In his diplomatic career by the resourcefulnes of his American wife who was Miss Alice Blight of Philadelphia Is about to be promoted to a post of great Importance Lady Arthur Pagefs son in law Ralph Paget British minister to Siam is slate for the vacancy In Morocco It has been believed ever since Minister Paget married his cousin that Bangkok would bo found unhealthy for him and her and society now whispers I told you so In diplomatic and social circles Ralph Pagets prospective promotion is ascribed solely to the exceptional influence of his mother in aw with King Edward Mrs Frederick Benedict ard her sister Miss Uenee Coudert who have been in Washington al7 winter are spending a few days in New York Alfonso Zelaya the twehty one year old son of President Jose Zelaya of Nicaragua told in New York Tuesday how the winsome manner of his nlnc teen year old wife had made iW father capitulate and extend the parental blessing he has withheld since the younj pair eloped two years ago While young Zelaya told of the romance his wife sat near in their cozy little npartment 111 2 East Sixty third street New York contributing nothng in her own behalf further than blushes It was a casa of love at first sight said Zelaya I loved Margarita from the moment I saw her She was Margarita Lee of Knoxville Tenn but then living in Washington I was attending at West Point and the memory of what my father had told me about becoming a great soldier did not deter me for a moment when Margarita and decided to get married We weo first and then I told father rt ome had anticipated the welding and there were efforts made by the Nlca laguan legation at Washington to pro evnt It but would not surrender Almost Immediately after the wedding I received a letter from my father in which he disinherited me Of cours we had to live ard the only way that we could think of getlng money was to utilize my piano playing Previously I had play xl and studied because I loved music Almost in a day it became my only hope Friends secured mo a few engagements but they soon got tired of helping me who conld not repay and I wua obliged to hunt work for myself Margarita and I lived in one small room while I sought out dance halls hotels and other places where my services as pianist would be in demand I cannot tell you how miserably poor we were In this unfortunate period Margarita be came ill with appendicitis and underwent an operation in a hospital Last August I received a letter from my father telling me that if I would come home to Nicaragua and take up the military profession instead of studying music I would be forgiven I decided to go home but I took Margarita along with me My father had prepared himself to re ceive my ife with stony indifference but when Margarita went up to him and threw her arms about his neck and kissed him he Just couldnt help giving in to her Dally my wife grew in the affection of my father and It was she who finally gained his consent to allow me to come back to New York and con tinue my studv of music Now that my father Is sending me remittances Margarita and I are able to get along very nicely Several managers have listened to my playing and each day we plan out what we shall do when I am playing at the big concerts Friends of young Zelaya say he is a brilliant composer and plays with great facility and ease They predict that he will some day be one of the great composers time by
