AUSPICIOUS FOR GIRLS
THEY FAIRLY REVEL IN ROSES
AND SWEETMEATS
Florists, Candy Store 3 and Stationers
Prosper Even If the Liverymen Have
Little Patronage for Their Cutters —
Diaries Coming Into Vogue Again,
Notwithstanding the New Woman.
The St. Paul girl who anticipated a
sleigh ride yesterday had one disap
pointment, at least. Below zero weath
er, with a keen wind blowing from
the east, rendered such a ride alto
gether out of the question, and those
who drove at all yesterday drove from
necessity rather than choice.
But aside from that one drawback
of the weather —which certainly was
too cold for Christmas weather —the
great holiday doubtless brought no
disappointment to the St. Paul girl.
The florists' shops all insist that
never have their sales been so large,
which means that the St. Paul maiden
received her share of blossoms. The
candy men say that never have they
taken so many orders for boxes of
sweets as they have the past fort
night, which means that the St. Paul
girl's sweet tooth was gratified.
But of all these after-Christmas
tales, the stationery shops tell, per
haps, the strangest. Never before, they
say, have so many diaries been pur
chased for gifts. Does this mean that
the modern maiden, like the gentle
creature of an earlier generation, in
tends to keep a journal that will record
not only her actions, but her most se
cret thoughts? For a long while
diaries have been dubbed "foolish."
Certainly the new woman, who be
lieves in doing rather than in senti
mentalizing, has frowned upon them.
But if fashion wills that they are to
be once more in vogue, the new wom
an, like all the other women, will no
doubt pronounce the fashion a good
one. For the new woman, after ail, is
a great humbug. If she herself were
not in fashion, doubtless there would
be no new woman.
One of the drawbacks about keeping
a diary, of course, is the fact that
somebody may get a peep at it. But
the most up-to-date journals that
have been sold this year for Christ
mas gifts have been provided with
locks and keys. Every night the own
er can turn the lock upon her record
ed thought, and, hanging the key about
her neck, retire with' the serene con
fidence that no precious confession
will be read by prying eyes.
SOCIAL. -
The dance given in Cambridge hall
last night by the Yale alumni, of St.
Paul, for the members of the Yale Glee
club, who spent yesterday here, was
one of the merriest and most brilliant
parties of the season. There were
about 250 dancers. Of these a large
majority comprised college young peo
ple, home for the vacation, of gradu
atess, though of course there were
many others. The dance was in
charge charge of Recce Newport,
Sidney B. Dean, Clarence W. Hal
bert, Edwin N. Saunders Jr., and Wal
lace C. Winter. Among the women who
assisted the men in receiving their
guests were Mrs. R. M. Newport, Mrs.
E. N. Saunders and Mrs. Wallace C.
Winter.
The decorations were striking, the
Tale blue with the red.white and blue of
American flags being used extensively
in draping the hall. Besides there were
festooned of Christmas greens quan
tities of holly and mistletoe. The dance
had little of formality about it, rather
it was more of an old fashioned romp
ing dance for young people.
The music was furnished by the St.
Anthony Hill orchestra and following'
is a list of the patronnesses: I
Mesdames W. R. Begg, C. H. Bigelow, j
A. W. Clapp, J. L. Forepaugh, Burnside
Foster, C. Milton Griggs, N. H. Halbert,
E. A. Haynie, J. J. Hill. L. W. Hill. R. C.

Miss Gordon's tea for the Yale men j
yesterday afternoon from 3 until 4:30
was also a brilliant affair. This too
was informal, though the guests num
bered about 280. The decorations were
remindful of the day, being artistically
carried out in red and green. Miss
Gordon was assisted by Mrs. George T.
Blade, Mrs. C. W. Gordon, Mrs. Wal

Women Who Succeed.
It has been wisely suggested by an
exchange that the women who suc
ceed are those who go to their work
with a determination born of courage
and positive convictions, and whose
energies are absolutely tireless. .
It is true they are often not so well
paid for the same work as men, but
that is one of the mistakes of the day
that will soon be rectified.
We are growing wiser, and one of
the things that is most important for
every one to know is that there is no
sex in brains.
Those who fail are usually those who
expect too much and presume on ac
count of their being women.
There is plenty of work and money
for the sharp women who will fight
every difficulty.
Everybody loves a -fighter, whether
it be man or woman; fighters who see
nothing but success at the other end of
the long road; fighters who believe in
themselves and their efforts, and who
plan their daily battles as a general
plans campaigns; fighters who are
brave, above board and generous in
the struggle—these are the heroines of
daily life, and they command success
and respect by thoroughly deserving it.

How to Utilize Scraps.
Do not throw away scraps of lace,
whether real or 1 imitation, no matter
how badly soiled they may be. Every
scrap is' worth saving, even though
it be only enough to trim the end of
a necktie or add to a stock.
Save all pieces of velvet unless they
are hopelessly sGiled. Brush them thor
oughly and roll them round a cylinder
and put them a\Vay. They are sure to
come in handy at some time or other.
The same care should be given to
ribbons and satins. If they are worth
keeping at all, they are worth keeping
well.
Eternal vigilance is the only salva
tion of gloves. Even in their most de
crepid days, they must never be rolled
into a ball nor squeezed into a wad,
and be sure and always buy a large
enough size", for not only does a tight
glove disfigure the hand, but its pe
riod of usefulness is sure to be brief.
It does not follow that because a veil
has been rained upon it is a ruined
veil. By carefully removing it from
the hat, in order not to tear the mesh,
and then pinning it over a pillow, the
impromptu bath will sometimes prove
rather a blessing, and the original
freshness will be restored.

THAYER'S CHRISTMAS
.RUDELY SPOILED
Minneapolis Manager sf Chicago Com
pany Arrested on Complaint -of a
Young Woman.
CHICAGO, Dec. 25.—A Christmas re
union between brothers' families in
Wilmette last night was dramatically
interrupted by the appearance on the
scene of an uninvited woman, who,
entering with a policeman, made start
ling charges against one of the broth
ers and caused his arrest. Mary Pe
terson, formerly a maid employed in
the family of Clarence H. Thayer, sec
retary of the W. R. Mumford com
pany, a board of trade firm, accused
Claude G. Thayer, who, with his wife,
had arrived a few hours before from
Minneapolis to spend the hoHdays with
his Wilmette relatives, of being the
father of her fifteen-months-old child
and of failing to support it.
Miss Peterson swore out a warrant
for Thayer's arrest before Justice
O'Connell, of Evanston, and from the
scene of Christmas cheer in^he Wil
mette home he was taken to the Evans -
ton police station, where bail bonds
for $900 were signed by W. R. Mum
ford, of Evanston.
Thayer is a buyer for a grain firm,
but formerly lived at Wilmette with
Clarence H. Thayer, his brother. A
year and ■ a half ago he removed to
Minneapolis and has made his home
there since. During the time he was
staying in Wilmette, Mary Peterson as
serts that she was employed at the
Thayer house, and she bases her charg
es against the Minneapolis man on the
relationship Avhich she had with Thayer
at the time.
According fc> the girl's story, Mrs.
Thayer did not live with her husband
at the brother's house in Wilmette dur
ing the period to which her accusa
tions against the grain buyer refer.
Mrs. Thayer spent the time in Min
neapolis with friends and heard from
her husband only occasionally. When
Thayer signified his intention finally
of removing from Wilmette and tak
ing up his residence m Minneapolis, the
Peterson girl, so she asserts, extorted
promises from him to aid in the sup
port of the child, which was then only
a few months old. She says that Thayr
er broke his promise made on this oc
casion, and repeated several times aft
er, Avhen she wrote to him in Minne
apolis.
Learning by accident that the grain
buyer was coming with his wife to pay
a Christmas visit to his brother's fam
ily, she hastened to Justice O'Connell
and swore out a warrant far the man's
arrest. Claude G. Thayer is the man
ager in Minneapolis of the W. R. Mum
ford company, of Chicago.

ently the same. Mr. Place proposes
to turn to account the heat that is in
the atmosphere, and says that thus he
can get more power out of his ma
chinery than he put into it. Having
once produced 100 gallons of liquid air
by means of an ordinary steam engine
he thinks that he can go on endlessly
developing more and more power out
of the liquid air and discard the or
iginal motor entirely.
Mr. Place has not himself discovered
any fallacy in his reasoning, although
he admits that other people tell him
he has invented "perpetual motion"
again. He has had in operation for
several months a small engine, which
he refers to as demonstrating his the
ories. Thus far, however, he has in
vited no mechanical engineers of
prominence to inspect the apparatus,
make their own scrutiny and measure
ments and corroborate his belief.
LOVE, IT IS ADJUDICATED,
HAS A VALUE IN LAW
People Who Are Jilted Have a Right to
Recover Damages.
MACON, Mo., Dec. 25.—"Love and af
fection when expressed as the considera
tion in a deed means just what it says,"
remarked Circuit Judge N. M. Shelton in
deciding the case of a mother against
her son in court last week.
On Sept. 20, 1900, Mrs. Hannah Latch -
ford, aged, seventy-eight years, deeded to
her son William her little home and lot
in West Macon "in consideration of $1
and love and affection." - Later on con
ditions became such that she instituted
proceedings to recover her property. In
this she was supported by her other chil
dren. The petition to set aside the deed
alleged mental incapacity of the mother
at the/time the transfer was made and
failure of consideration.
The old lady^is now living with her
daughter, Mrs. T. J. Hackley, Kansas
City.
In summing up the case, the court said:
"The proof shows a failure of consid
eration and it will not be necessary to
make a ruling on the other allegation—
that of mental incapacity. The defend
ant's evidence discloses that, while he
provided shelter and a place to sleep
for his aged parent, he failed in the
more important element expressed in the
deed. She had. a right to demand such
trSf tP? nt as s Prin?s from a loving heart,
which is expressed in a thousand and one
loverlike acts of everyday life
"In other words, he should have made
her feel that he was sincerely glad to
have her with him and that her slightest
wish was his pleasure to fulfill. Old
people are peculiarly sensitive in this
regard. While going down the sunset of
life their shrunken arms reach out with
pitiful eagerness for a bestowal of caresses
that mean they are loved and venerated.
They have a right to expect this, even
when they have no property to bequeath
in return, and much more so when they
have bartered all they have to a favoi*
ite son for his gratitude and his love,
which means more to them than any
thing else in the world.
"Th» finding will be for the plaintiff
and an order will be made reinvesting the
property in the mother."
Loved Her Just the Same.
It was 8:30 o'clcek in th«, drawing
room of tlie home of Miss Clara Arm
stretch. As th*i last notes of th© piano
died away the young lad/ in question
suddenly whirled around and gazed long
and fixedly at the agitated countenanca
of her embarrassed nance.
"Mr. Mainspok?," she said bitterly,
"thia is too mpch. When you first came
in this evening it was evident to me
that you intended to provoke a quarrel.
There was a marked coolness in your
manner, and as we sat on tha sofa to
gether you edged away, and Insisted upcn
changing 1 to a chair. Even there, how
ever, you wers not contented, but you
suddenly arose, and I caught you glanc
ing at the clock. Several times I saw
you start to pace the floor, as If some
thing was on your mind, and now, when,
at your request, I play your favorite
air on the piano, I catch you trying to
mimic me behind my back. This has
gone far enough. If, sir, you wish +o
break off the engagement ywi have but
to speak. Let there be no further shil
lyshallying."
James Malnspoke loved the indignant
girl before him better than his life, an<s
he became conscious that unless he tokl
the plain truth she was lost to him ior-
ever.
"Darling," he said, his face suffuse*
with blushes, "if you must know, I hava
on a suit of brand-new underwear."—«
