COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG THE WOMEN, BY ONE OF THEM. “The artfulness of the modern girl,” remarked a woman who was a girl years ago, to a Washington Post reporter, “passeth understanding.” Ihave, for example, a young kins- woman Of eighteen, whose mother, knowing that my husband was out of town, invited me to her house to tea one day last week. The girl was so sweet to me that in the end, though I hadn’t the slightest idea of doing it whenIset out, I asked her to come home with me and stay the night. ~ She assented—not too eagerly—and as we walked toward the car together—a she lives on Capitol Hill —she began to talk of young Mr.SO-and-SO, Command- er So—and-So’s son, who was so anxious to meet me. No woman is too old to be proof against flattery, so I expressed an in- terest in Mr. So-and-So, and told her she might bring him to see me some day. “It would be nice if he could come over this evening, wouldn’t it ‘2” she said, thoughtfully. I agreed that it wOuld. “You might have sent him a note if you had known.” ‘I said, for at my age it isn’t too often that young men waht to make my acquaintance. “I’ll tell you what,” she said, quite l as if an idea had just occurred to her. “I’ll telephone to him and see if he has any other engagement.” “We went into the nearest drug Store, and idly I followed her to the telephone box, though she called my attention to something at the other end of the store.’ central gave her the desired number—the young man’s brother is a physician. “ ‘Is this Mr. So-and-So?’ she asked. Pause.- ‘It’s all right about to-night,’ she said ‘Good-bye.’ ” “That’s all she‘said. And then, and not until then, I realized how that innocent young thing had played it on me. As I said before, the artfulne‘ss of the modern girl passeth understand- ing.73 M éfjféa 1% ‘8... 7 West Norwalk.

QUICK WORK IN BUILDING Winter: Clothing DitI-ibuted Among Many of the Soldiers. Wooden Hospitals Nearly Completed. City of Mexico’. Passengers Landed. Camp Wikoff, Montauk Point, Sept. 23.—Last night was more comfortable in camp, and the sentries were able to keep warm by means of considerable exercise, but nevertheless it was no weather for summer clothes. Overcoats and winter clothing haVe been distribu- ted in a number of the camps, but there was not enough to go all around and a good many of the men had to exercise to keep warm. The departure of the Third cavalry has taken a good deal of life out of the camp, and the fact that Montauk is fast returning to the deserted state in which the camp found it, becomes more apparent every day. The arrival Wednesday of the two transports with the yellow fever and other diseases on board, threw every- body into a. state of great excitement for a time. It gave the quarter ter an opportunity to show how much he could do in a short time, however, and it is doubtful if a camp ever went up as fast against as great odds as did the new detention camp which General Wheeler ordered built for thte emer- gency. Fifty teams were set to haul- ing tents and lumber to the site of the new camp in as many minutes and forty carpenters were at work before noon. Half of the tents were up, and one hospital ward of three tents had also been erected when, late in the after- noon, the Seguranca was ordered to New York. ' The City of Mexico was held here, however, and the labor of building the camp was not wholly ldst. The seventy-six troopers General Wheeler decided to subject to the same quarantine rules which have governed all new arrivals, not because any dis- ease was really feared, but as a pre- cautionary measure. There are now 423 men in the hos- pital, and two hundred of them will be sent to New York. The’erection of two wooden wards was begun yester- day. They Will be completed this week and by Monday all the sick will have been moved out of canvas wards. Then the work of removing the canvas an- ,nex will begin, and when that has been completed all the other canvas will be removed. General Wheeler yesterday morning telegraphed to Colonel Kimball in New York, asking for the final arrangements for the removal of the few troops re- maining here. He expected a definite reply yesterday. It is settled now, General Wheeler said, that the First cavalry will go to Dakota, the Ninth to the department of the Colorado, and the Second, Sixth and Tenth to Huntsville. The City of Mexico was unloaded yes- terday, and the men on her taken to the detention camp prepared for them by the provost marshal. The well-men were brought to the iron pier on one of the barges, and after having eaten a. luncheon of sandwiches and coffee provided for them by the Red Cross Society, as many of them as were able marched up the hill to their camp. There were only fifty in the proces- sion. They looked worn and ill, as nearly all of them had had the fever at one time or another, and they showed plainly the enervating effects of the- Cuban climate in their sallow faces and emaciated bodies. The eighteen sick and eight otheis who are convalescing, went up in am- bulances after having been landed at the wooden pitr. What Russia Gets from China. London, Sept. 23.——A dispatch to the Globe from Hong Kong says that Hau- ching-chen, ex-Chinese minister to Ger- many, who went to St. Petersburg last summer on a special mission, and ret- urned to China on September 10, con- cluded at St. Petersburg, under the terms of the secret convention signed at Pekin on March 27 last, an 'agree- ment ceding to Russia the ports of Port Arthur and Talienwan. The full text of the treaty comprises 530 words. It stipulates that only Rus- sian and Chinese warships shall enter Port Arthur. Chinese soldiers are pro- hibited from entering Russian territory at Port Arthur and Talienwan. Russia has the exclusive use of the inner har- bor of Talienwan and the sole admin- istration of the territories ceded. A tract of land to the north of Talienwan is designated as a buffer belt. All defence works and lighthouses are exclusively Russian. Russia, by the terms of the treaty, purchases all f the government buildings at Port 75'. thur. The extension of the Russian- Chinese railway system is to be ha 1:- ened and the funds borrowed for t' t purpose must be obtained from Rue; a. All disputets growing out Of'the agt e- ment are to be settled in writing in the Russian text. ‘--v )U‘fi . “Mary, there's dust on the pig: 3; . t,six weeks old.” (if tit, Missis, that’s the aqlt or We inflmald.
