The suit is similar to the famous Fair case, and may rival it. Laffargue i was a rich -piano manufacturer. On Au-I gust 18, -H06, as he ana his wife were returning here in an automobile from i Asbury Park, accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Lurch Of No.

1S2 East 1 S2venty-first street, the auto was struck by a Pennsylvania. Railroad train at Alleire, N. J. Mr. and Laffargue and Mrs.

Lurch wpre found dead and i Lurch was found insensible. When bjL, was revived he could not tell which el the Laff argues died first. He thought" they died instantly. Laffargue had two children by his first wife, Viola and J. George Laffargue Jr.

Mrs." Laffargue was the mother of Mrs. Blakeney by. a previous marriage. When The Woman's Sabbath AJliaiNte lias addressed a circular letter to -women of social prominence in this city asking them to refrain, from giving entertainments which deprive their servants of rest on Sundays. Queen Alexandra was observing one of the favorite customs' of "Victoria when she made- a gift of a pony to her little grandson, Prince Olaf of Norway.

Victoria presented ponies to all the children in her family, and those sent as gifts by her were ridden and driven by the children in every court in Europe, with the exception of that of Abdul Hamid, who never found a place in the queen's list; Alexandra knows the fondness of the average child for animals, and it seems she intends to revive the custom which Victoria practiced during her reign. Several ponies now are in the ctables the Buckingham Palace, and trey to children in the queen's favor. nles are of the purest Shetland have a neat and inexpensive method of inspiring thrift in Schoene- berg, one of the largest suburbs of Ber lin. The municipality makes a bank deposit of one mark in the name of very baby, and gives the bankbook; into the keeping of the mother. This practical hint usually bears fruit, as the majority of parents make further deposits in favor of the children.

There are comparatively few women professional life in Great Britain. There are restrictions against Women in the law, and the woman, physician is a rarity. Also there are only a few British women at the heads of churches. Miss Harriet Offer Baker preaches in a congregational, hall in a small village in Sussex, and Miss C. R.

Smith recently was elected pastor of a small congregation It is expected, howeverV that there will be a big increase in women entering the professions within the ltext' few years. English girls are beginning to crowd Into the colleges and universities in the same, way as in this country, and there can be only one result to this spread of higher education. The women, as they are graduated, will turn naturally to the professions, as they have done in America, France and dermany. An English health off leer, Dr. Martin, of Gorton, points out one more reason why women shouldn't corsets.

fact that 75 per cent of the mothers -of today are unable to nurse their children is due largely, to corsets, which have much the same effect on the breast that bandaging has upon the feet of the Chinese women, causing atrophy or wasting of the parts. I The men of the AVestern nations are saW to be not exactly fond of their mothers-in-law, but in certain districts of China fathers-in-law are -never "on speaking terms with their sons' wives. Never after the! wedding day does a man see his daugbter-ln-law's face; If thy happen to meet hides himself. The curious custom comes down from ancient times, and no one ready knows its origin, but it is supjwsed to have arisen from the savage's desire to avokl even the possibility of the father-in-law falling in love with the woman his son had married. Young Girl Blames Her For All of Her Many Whil? red halr 'is exceptional, it is not so rare as to explain the ridicule to which it is subjected.

Children Will terrorize any one of their number who has red hair, and it is only in well-bred society, that adults so endowed can escape annoyance. Yet it has stately associations and artistic merits, says the Philadelphia Record. Thomas Jefferson had red hair; so did the Marquis de Lafayette. Queen Elizabeth had red Who has not told that Titian loved to paint that warm hue, which is generally accompanied by an unusually fine And yet the amount of torment that any red headed boy or girl will have to go through before reaching the age at which native savagery is usually covered by a veneer of civilization is simpln incalculable. The moral effect of habitual teasing, guying and annoyance is very serious, and if red haired persons are quick tempered it is less likely that the hair and the disposition go together than that constant hectoring, on account of the hair has ruined the temper.

Lucy Thompson of Des Moines has red hair and a bad reputation. The last time she was in court, the magistrate assured her that she was, one of the naughtiest girls in the city, and she would have to leave it for its own peace. "I would haye been a good girl if my hair had not bt-en red, judge," she said. "Io you have any Idea of the humiliation of brick red hair? TO HER We met but in one giddy dance. Good-night joined hands with greeting; And i twenty thousand things may chance Before our second meeting: For oh, I have been often told That all 'the world grows older.

And hearts and hopes, today so cold. Tomorrow muat be colder. If I have never touched the string Beneath your chamber, dear one, And never said one civil thing When you were by to hear one, If I have made rhymes about Those looks which conquer Stoics, And heard those angel tones, without One Jfit of fair heroics, Yet do not, though the. world's cold school Somjs bitter truths has taught me, Oh, df not ueem me quite the fool Which wiser friends have thought me! There! Is one charm I still could, feel, If no one laughed at feeling; One dream my lute could still reveal, If it were worth revealing. But Folly little careS what name Of fi lend or foe sh When merriment direct the game, -And midnight dims the candles; I know Folly's breath' is weak, And would not stir a feather; But.

The kids at school Used to at it, young fellows passed me up for black or brown or golden haired girls. Boys only liked rue when I did naughty things, and I just had to do them or be left out in the cold." The judge appreciated perhaps' for the first time the moral influence of red hair. "Lucy," he said thoughtfully, "I've known you for long time. I believe you have been a bad girl, and I hope you will try to be good. Do 'you -know, I rather like your hair.

It's all right, but it's-i er fine." If Lucy has inot been hectored too much already- she will realize the judge's hopes. What he said is probably the nr.t allusion she ever heard to her hair that was not an insult.
