Experts in such Matters declare the method of aban- donment to be absolutely original. “I didn't think there was anything new under the sun,” said J. ©. Fiant- gan, manager of the department store to an Evening World reporter to-day. “Phe young Iady put one over on us all right. They've left ‘em on millionaires’ front-door steps, in ash cans, in rail- road stations and with soft-hearted men on street corners, but this 1s the firet time in my experience where a| woman checked her baby at a depart- ment store as a means of losing it.

Mrs. Carrie McBride, her mothe ter, has commenced an action in the Supreme Court against her to recover about $8,000 for breach of contract. Mrs. McBride's lawyer claims that in 10 Mrs. Jenkins, in order to secure the services of Mrs. McBride to act in the capacity of chaperone and com- panion on her many and frequent tray- els, entered into a contract with her to pay her $10 a week and her expenses for the rest of her life. Mrs, McBride, her attorney saya, had to give up a lucra- tive position so that she might accept the proposition Mrs. Jenkins made to her, S1x months after the contract was Oirs. McBride was peremptorily dismmiaged and no reason given. ‘Ag tie result of this dismissal it is alleged in the complaint that Mrs, M Bride has suffered heavy financial loss, ag whe gave up the nosition as super- intendent of @ large apartment house which netted her a good income, ——.—— shouted one: “It te Di Mary Coppers, sixty-one years, of PN. 216 Bast Fifth street, was fatally burneds yesterday afternoon in her home, “She stepped on a l.ghted match and her clothing caught fire.

Marguerite Mooers Marshall. Sir Gilbert Parker, the famous Eng- lish writer, recently told us that women “lack the iron strain.” He added: “Men fight the wars and fall and rise again with bloody heads and press on. Women cannot do this.” And, as usual, is Germany arrayed against England. Straight out of Dus- seldort comes the confounding of sir Gilbert, by no less @ person than Privy Medical Councillor Witzel. At a meet- ing of the Patriotic Women's Union the other day Dr, Witzel firmly advocated compulsory military service for women. He declared they should be enrolled in the military hospital, transport, provis- foning and clothing services, and should’ be mobilized with the other auxiliary | troops in case of war.

The Red Cross nurses are as truly a factor in every nation’s fighting equipment ae the cannon or the cavalry. They run as many risks and perform as jo service as any other sol- ai . “Sul, they do not actually fight,” 1 objected. “Do you think it possible or right for women to do that?’ “Yes,” firmiy maintained Mrs, Loeb- inger. “Why not?

For centuries women have been housekeepers, und why shouldn't they fulfil this function for the army? | A regiment is nothing but a lot of hus- bands and sons, “Do you suppose, if women fed and clothed our army, the soldiers would have to eat embalmed beef and wear shoddy?
