Baby Belles and Beaux in
Abundance.
Had Teddy R. been a casual butter-
in at the bazar here yesterday his
opinion respecting race suicide would
have been subject to immediate revis
ion. Amerlcus will have none of It,
and she produced the goods yesterday
to back up this assertion.
It was tho occasion of the annual
baby show, and the output of the
twelvemonth bore indisputable evi
dence that we do not coincide with
the President regarding race diminu
tion.
For the babies were there, barrels
of them, in best bib and tucker nnd
each one a predicted prize winner.
The bawl opened with entries for
Exhibit A. vintage of 1907, one to six
months old, and a full score constitu
ted the lineup. The pink-cared, pug-
nosed, pampered pets occupied the
stage, and Just such galaxy of beauty
hns never faced an audience.
Then the judges went down the
line la fairly good style.
There were Messrs. J. C. Carter and
E. H. Crawley, each tho head of a
house full of his owji and pastmasters
In sizing up the fine points of a
youngster. The third Judge was Mr.
Charles Parsons, whose experience
thus far is limited to casual observa
tion.

a reception a few evening, ago In "TenMSk ^"clwed and Ex-
Dibits B. and C. brought to the front
in their order. These had developed
greater lung power than possessed by
the first bunch of beauties; being six
months to one year old. and from
that interesting era to two years of
age.
Then the Judges took another skate
on thin ice.
When the three awards were made
the prize winners were announced as
Master Henry McArthur, Master
Harry Jacobs and Miss Mamie KIker.
Applause followed the announce
ment, the judges In the meanwhile
descending by the fire escape to sad
dled steeds held In the courtyard.
Hon. E. A. Nlsbet In happy vein
then presented the prizes, first ab
solving himself from any connection
with the nffnlr except Hint of orator.
He had, he declared, been guilty of
perhaps every foliw of youth except
that of judging a baby show, and
never would It be bis fate.
He congratulated the happy and
xultant mothers of the dear and dain
ty little prize winners, and poured
balm upon the hearts of a hundred
others who, though less fortunate,
held their cherubs none the less dear
just because three male beings could
not distinguish merit.
It was tile greatest baby show Am-
crlcus has ever witnessed, and all
were delighted—that is, most ail.
In order to clear out quickly our
entire stock of Odds and Ends in
Children’s Coats, Women’s Coats,
Skirts, Petticoats and Suits, we have
gone through the stock and thrown
them out for almost a song. You
will understand that these garments
are iust what we tellyou-the accu
mulated Odds and Ends.
Some of the finest garments we
have ever carried. They have got
to go and we advise you to come
quickly and bring your children; fit
them up for school and all the dis
agreeable weather yet to come.

PHILADELPHIA, PA.. . ,ov. 26.—
Vice Chancellor Learning, sitting In
Camden yesterday, heard testimony
in the suit of Martha Shaffer against
her husband, Zachary Taylor Shaf
fer, formerly a well known baseball
player, for alimony. At tho close of
the hearing he delivered nn opinion
as to the status of the mother-in-law
In the household and the duties of
the husband toward the wife.
It was apparent throughout the
hearing that the trouble lay not
much with the principals as with rel-
atives-at-Iaw. Shaffer Insisted that
he loved his wife and she told of her
affection for him.
"A wife is entitled to a home where
she is mistress and without the pres
ence of distasteful relatives of any
kind," said the Court. "There Is
manifestly no occasion for the wife to
have any fear of bodily harm.
"Where a mother-in-law Is distaste
ful in a home she has no right to
remain there. Neither Is the hus
band required to supply quarters for
tho wife's mother."
The Vice Chancellor said that the
case was one of the most remarkable
of the kind he had ever known. There
appeared to be interference on both
sides. The husband says the trou
ble is Jhe result of the Interference
of ills wife's mother and the wife In
sists that it Is due to the husband's
mother and /amity. When the Court
finished William T. Boyle, attorney for
the defendant, said that his client de
sired him to say that he was In ac
cord with the decision of the Court
and that he was ready to accept the
terms of the decision and provide a
home for his wife at once.
Mrs. Shaffer did not Indicate that
she approved of the decree.
