FRANCISCO L. THURSDAY 1905. JUNE THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL ADDRESS ALL COMMUNICATIONS TO JOHN D, PUBLICATION OFFICE. MUNICIPAL OWNERSHIP. THURSDAY.... HE news dispatches announce the arrival of Mr. Dalrymple in T(‘hicago. Mr. Dalrymple is regarded as the municipal street railway expert of Glasgow, and he is summoned by the new Mayor of Chicago to impart wisdom in regard to municipal roads for the benefit of Chicago first, and secondarily for the enlighten- nent of the United States on that interesting subject. His city of Glasgow has been very naturally and properly re- garded as the model for the world in municipal trading. There are certain facts about the Glasgow street railways that Mr. Dalrymple will not be expected to talk about. In this country the whole sub- ject is so intermixed with party politics that it is a hazy matter, but little understood. As a rule its advocates present it to the public as a means of getting something fof"nothing. The most persistent proponent of the policy is Mayor Tom-Johnson of Cleveland. His latest delivery is to the effect that all cities should own their street 1d give their use to the people free! The force of such an appeal in behalf of this policy should not be underestimated nor erided. No lure is more seductive than the illogical offer of some- ng that has value, without money and without price. Others less demagogic or less enthusiastic than Mayor John- point with fervor to the cheapness of the street railroad service | Glasgow.

M. LEISER of New York has announced a new cure for D consumption. There is no secret about its composition, while eight months’ careful experiment has gone far to justify the discoverer in making it known. At the same time it would be well to receive the statement with some measure of caution. Other rem- edies have been hailed with the same confidence after the same ap- parently satisfactory tests and have none the less proved ultimately to be disappointing. At the same time consumption seems to be one of those dis- cases that medical science is destined speedily to vanquish. Its outer fortifications at least have been captured and in its early stages it is no longer to be counted as an incurable malady. Open air and sanitation under skilled direction have worked miracles in robbing the white plague of many of its terrors, and even should it prove that the importance of Dr. Leiser’s remedies has been overesti- mated, it seems likely a substantial step forward has been made. One hundred consumptive patients have thus far been treated with the new inhalations, and the results reported certainly seem to jus- tify a sanguine view. : Boston is quoted as favoring the revival of the hoopskirt.

" OF FAME 'HE scene wds the grillroom of one of the big department stores, a place dear to the hearts of womankind.-In one corner of the room was set a table, marked by a great bouquet of red Liberty roses. From the agitation of the white- capped waitresses it became evident that the person for ‘whom the place was being reserved was a very great per- sonage indeed. As the minutes slipped by and the place began to fill up the reservation of this table grew more no- ticeable. People be- gan to speculate as to who the party would be. Glances wandered from the roses to the ele- vators. “I heard one of the waitresses say that it was some actress,” said one woman to her com- panion. The man lost interest in his salad and joined in the crowd of watch- ers. “She’s coming.” “There she * is.” “No, mamma, the fair-haired one” “Why, look—"" And down the center of the aisle, smiling, debonair, utterly unconscious of the thousand cu- rious glances, came Lillian Russell. As she seated her- self at the table with the two wom- en who had come in | her wake there was a very perceptible movement of people in the direction of the table at the window. Men left their accustomed places to come \ nearer to the prima r— donna. Every wom- . ___ _san in the room THERE SHE I8. | neglected her D luncheon to .note the jaunty set of the singer’'s hat. And through it all Miss Russell talked to her companionsyin ut- ter disregard of the commotion that she was creating. sn’t she peautiful?” What is that white thing in her hat?" sn’t that a pretty waist?” “How old do you suppose she 1s?” Fine-looking woman.” It was an elder- 1y man who made this comment. His wife was following him down the aisle. They had walked around the full length of the room to make the inspec- tion. “Oh, 1 can't say that I particu- larly -admire the blondes,” said the elderly woman. A man sauntered down the aisle to- ward the table that was arousing 0 much interest. The three women greet- ed him ~ cordially:™ He sat down beside # them. Every one in the room was brim- ming over with un- concealed curiosity. by this time. Two § men who had been seated at a distant table suddenly rose and started over to- ward the newcom- er. The warmth of §§ the greeting that they bestowed upon him must have sur- prised him some- what. The grill- room was agog by this time. Every one had ceased to §§ eat. The waitresses kept up a constant § procession in the part of the room where the star was shining. The girl who had charge of that table was plainly the envy of the ‘others. The cooks from the grills appeared in sight. The news had evidently spread to the tea- room, and women in twos and threes and fours came by. The ‘look on their faces was all the| BEREMRS | same—a fascinated curiosity. Behind a screen down toward the elevators four | women stood, peering over at the désig- | nated table with the red roses, They | were the dishwashers, who had slipped | away from their tasks to join the ranks of the curious. Probably a thousand women in that big city are able to tell you every detail of Lillian Russell’s street suit, of her hat, of her smile, of her beauty, 6f her man- ner, of how she poises her fork, of what she orders to eat and to say, braggingly, “Yes, I know her quite well; I've been right up close to her.” Such is the price of fame.

THE WOMAN WITH A HISTORY A well-dressed and sharp-faced woman entered a lawyer’s office and very shortly ‘was standing by his table. “1 beg your pardon,” she said to the lawyer, “but can you spare a few mo- ments of your valuable time?"” “I am very busy, madame,” he replied, “but if you have anything of importance to communicate I shall be glad to hear it. Pray be seated.” “Thank you—no,” she sa.d, round in a nervous way at the clerks. “I am a woman with a history, and—"" “Excuse me,” anticipating a fee. “Perhaps you had bet- ter step into my private office with me, where we shall not be interrupted.” She thanked him and they went into the adjoining room. iooking | apologized the lawyer, | “Now,” he said, when they were seated, “I presume you wish to consult me on this matter of your higfory?” “Yes, sir; that is why I am here.” “Very well—proceed.

Those- little turbans that are really and truly nothing more than a fanciful reproduction in straw, lace or spangled net of the small cap worn by our little brothers are among the jauntiest of the late novel- ties—when well worn. But it is not everybody, by any means, who can wear them well, and a long and earnest comsultation with the mirror should; be Indulged in ere the trying shape is finally selected. Youth- fulness of face, 2 moderate sized coiffure and slender figure are essen- tial to its best success. The illustration shows one of the less trying designs in this popular mode. One of the burnt straws has a turn-up brim all around faced in medium brown velvet, and the sole trimming is a cockade at the side in a lighter shade of brown, and a knot of the velvet that falls on the hair. The envelope hat shows one of the shade shapes, rather flat and with a bandeau beneath to lift it becomingly off the coiffure. the name, and little bunches of trailing arbutus The back is folded flat upon the crown—whence with knots of dark green velvet ribbon constitute the trimming, the back cache-peigne be- ing similarly decorated. With both these styles the coiffure hairnet is worn, being absolutely invisible when in use, owing to the fact that it is made of matching human hair. —- tion changed and he relinquished his office.
