SOCIETY NOTES 
Henry Lee Higginson has not been 
for five years so well, according to 
veracious reports which have just 
reached Boston, says the Transcript, 
as on the very day when one of the 
most enterprising of the Boston 
morning newspapers startled the pub- 
lic with the news of his serious ill- 
ness in London. ‘That was the day 
when he started for France, after a 
visit of some weeks in the British 
capital. It made an interesting piece 
ot news; but no more infelicitous 
date for springing it could have been 
found. ‘The explanation of the story 
seems to lie in the misfortune of his 
cousin, Thomas Wentworth Higgin- 
son, who was then in failing health. 
The news reached a reporter not 
strong in genealogy that one elderly 
Higginson, the bearer of a military 
title, was seriously under _ the 
weather; and he picked out Henry 
Lee as the subject for his story, in- 
stead of Col. Thomas Wentworth, 
who has just passed away. It is said 
that this mistake has been made many 
times before; that whenever either 
was ill, the residence of the other was 
bombarded with solicitous inquiries.

WELL KNOWN SUMMER RESIDENT 
DEAD IN NEW York. 
Mrs. Alice Pape, wife 
Pape, the well-known Boston artist, 
died in New York Wednesday night 
after a brief illness. Mrs. Pape went 
over to New York to visit relatives 
two weeks ago, and_ shortly after 
suffered an attack of appendicitis. 
Her illness progressed favorably af- 
ter the operation when other compli- 
cations developed and she died sud- 
denly. It will be a great shock to 
her many friends to hear of her 
death: Mrs. Pape was the daughter 
of Professor Louis B. Munro, long 
identified with the educational life of 
Boston. Besides her husband she is 
survived by her mother and three sis- 
ters, one of whom is the wife of 
George Barnard, the sculptor. The 
funeral services will be held at New- 
ark, N. J., this afternoon, after which 
the remains will be cremated. 
Mr. and Mrs. Pape had _ been 
summer residents of the North Shore 
for several seasons. Formerly they 
lived at Annisquam. The past two 
summers they were at Manchester. 
One Girl—Why do you insist upon 
marrying Lighter? He isn’t to be 
trusted. The Other Girl—Why, I'd 
trust him with my life. 
“But I mean that he is not to be 
trusted with anything valuable—that 
—er—er’’— 
I more than doubt whether, until 
our small services are sweet with 
divine affection, our great ones, if we 
are capable of such, will ever have 
the true Christian flavor about them.

The following is quoted from a re- 
cent prosperity speech of a Southern 
congressman : 
“Has it ever occurred to you, Mr. 
~- Sa a 
Chairman, that the cotton cloth made — 
in South Carolina annually .would 
make a sheet big enough to cover the 
and lap over on the toes of Asia? 
“Or, if all the cattle she raises im 
each year were one cow, she could 
browse on the tropical vegetation 
along the equator, while her _ tail 
switched icicles off the North pole, 
entire face of America and Europe © 
and her milk could float a ship-load — 
of her butter and cheese from 
Charleston to New York? 
“Or, if all the mules we market — 
each year were one mule, it would 
consume the entire annual corn crop 
of North Carolina at one meal, and 
kick the spots off the sun without 
swelling its sides by shaking its tail? 
“Or, if the hogs we raise annually — 
were one hog, that animal would dig 
the Panama canal in three _ roots, 
without grunting, and its squeal 
A 
would be loud enough to jar cocoa- — 
nuts off the trees along the canal 
zone?’ — Cleveland Leader. 
Wife—Please match this piece of 
silk for me before you come home. 
Husband—At the counter where 
the sweet little blonde works?

Wife — No.
