PARTY AT MURRAY. A number of the members nt" the Psl Iota Xi sorority formed a party at the Murray theater this afternoon.

PRINCESS OF PLESS. BERLIN, Jan. 1. Teutonic business instinct has made the Prince of Pless in a few short years, one of the money powers of the German Empire. The tax lists just published show him to rank fifth in the German money aristocracy. This disclosure brings to mind the marriage of the beautiful Mary Corn-wallis-West to the Prince, when it was heralded abroad that her title of Princess would be little more than an empty name, that the princely pocketbook did not hold a penny, and that Miss West had made a bad bargain. Today, however, she has the satisfaction of knowing that there are only four men in Germany ahead of her husband in the matter of wealth.

Shakespeare as an Actor. About tbe year 15SK) onje of the London companies received an addition in the person of a young man who was not only a skillful and useful actor, but who also possessed the accomplishment of being able to adapt older plays to tbe taste of the times and even proved to have the gift of writing tolerably good plays himself, though older and jealous colleagues might bint at their not being altogether original. This young man, whose capacities became of no slight use to the company and tbe theater, was named William Shakespeare. From "A History of Theatrical Art."

Very Complicated. Aunt Kate What brings that young Mr. Stevens to the house so often? Mildred Well, bis mother's stepfather married a second cousin of my father's great-nunt. We're trying to figure out what relation that makes him to me, and it can't be done In one evening. St. Louis Times.

Keeping Tab on Dad. "What does your father do when you ask him any questions?" asked on small boy. "H generally says, 'I'm busy Just now; don't bother me. " replied the other. "Then when 1 go out of the room he looks in the encyclopedia. Washington Star.

The Schoolgirl. At this time of year, when fond and conscientious mothers gather about tea tables, there always rises (he old discussion on whether or not girls should play athletic games, such as basketball and hockey. "It makes them so unladylike." one mamma will declare, with an air of saying something original. So in a sense it may, but only because It makes them girlish, and in this point tbe whole problem lies. Only a fanatic can object to girls playing games or otherwise behaving like healthy yonng animals. It is when the playing becomes the self con scious and overseriou9 hobby of women that it is reprehensible. Those who argue that hockey makes for ugliness, for loud voices and uncouth manners are apt to bring out photographs from the magazines in support of their theory. "Look at Miss So-and-so." they say. "Look at the way she sets her feet down. Look at the hard linen on her face. Do you want your Mollie or Jessie or Jane to develop into anything like that?" But it is just as reasonable to advocate that girls shouldn't learn to waltz

because ballet dancing causes undue muscular development. In both cases the specialist only is considered. If the formidable aud rather nggressive Miss So-and-so had not taken to hockey she probably would have made herself look like that in any case. Dozens of her contemporaries who shot at goal and capered about in the mud in their school days have now grown Into ideally graceful and gentle women. Many women are apt to forget how episodic are the crazes and habits of school days. If a gtrl does run a little wild through half her teens how short .that time will seem when halfway through her twenties she looks back at them through her grownup eyes.

New Things For the Baby. Baby must be expected to become athletic this winter, lor be has a regular sweater now a thick white woolly sweater that he pulls on over his head just as bis big football playing brother does. Sometimes, though, his sweater is outlined with pale pink, which the athletic brother would never in this world allow. The baby's sweater is the tiniest little thing Imaginable, but is very cozy, and the mother who does not waut to be bothered with fastening clothes and trying to keep them snugly buttoned in cold weather will welcome it. If she likes, though, she may rip it down the front and put it on the baby in coat fashion, for it is so made that she may do this without spoiling tbe knitting. Tbe prices start at 75 cents, and a really fascinating little garment may be had for $1.50. Another warm article for the infant on freezing days is a knitted hood with a long, full cape attached. In tbe house, even if tbe furnace goes out, the baby may be kept as warm as toast in one of tbe new Japanese padded silk sacks or kimonos, long or short. These are made exactly like the snug dressing sacks and slumber robes for women.

Breaking the Record. Tbe Caller I bear that you've been to a party. Mabel. Did you dance much? Mabel (aged eight) 1 should say I did. I danced two quadrillions. Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Labor tbe expenditure of vital energy in some form is tbe measure, nay. it is the maker, of values. Holland.

In memory of Mungo Park and Richard Lander, who explored the course of the River Niger, it is proposed to erect an obelisk of similar design and dimensions to Cleopatra's Needle, on a projecting point of land at Forcados.

Encourage Children to Work. Encourage tbe children to work. The attitude they learn to take toward work in childhood is quite apt to be the one they take in later years, so try to cultivate in them a sane, wholesome love of work for its own sake and for tbe satisfying results it brings. Even when they are small there are many little things they can do which will fix in their minds the fact that they are helping and that it is their duty to do so. Each individual mother will know best how to make the little duties a pleasure to the children, and if she starts out this way they will be able to find the pleasure in work for themselves as they grow older. If work is given them and a chance for good, healthful recreations they will generally be contented and happy; if It is not they are bound to employ themselves somewhere, in some way, and it is not always going to be a way that parents would approve of.

For Baby's Eyee. Mothers, please do not send your babies out without any shade for tbe eyes. Even though it is not summer time they should not be allowed to lie

with the sun shining in their eyes. All . sorts of troubles result from this, eye , inflammations of many kinds, oftn , defective vision and nervous conditions. which remain for life. If you would try lying with the sun shining i in your eyes for an hour or so you would soon realize how disagreeable it is for a baby in a gocart or carriage ' to be subjected to it :

"We say nature is blind." says John Burroughs, in the December Atlantic,

"but she has no need of eyes, she tries : all courses; she has infinite time, infinite power, inlnite space; and so' far as our feeble minds can see, her ! delight is to play this game of blind ! man's buff over and over to all eter-1 nity. Her creatures get life, and the joy and pain that life brings, but what ! is augmented, or depleted, or con- j eluded, or satisled, or fulfilled. who j knows?
