Semnacher said he then took it to Miss Rappe in the nearby room, where she lay ill. Asked about Mrs. Delmont's ycondi tion at the. party, Semnacher . testified that she was dressed in yellow paja mas, and appeared "lit up" ' or. "about half drunk," when he first saw her.

' ' . - " I Mr. Wilson,' besides following the ways or a retired gentleman with ' lively interest in.,, the yeorld's affairs,, lives oy the eight-hour , day which h once told congress was "adiudjred b' the thought arid 'experience of recen years a thing upon which' society id Justified In insisting,' as in the inter-. est of health, . efficiency - and content-' ment." He aims ; to rhave eight hours' for sleep, eight, hours for work, and eight hours for ' relaxation,' and keep to the schedule pretiy " fairly." Seven o'clock in 'the morning is abo'u his rising time. . He: onee again shave and bathes alone .and then takes some caHsthenic exercises prescribed by liis physicians and beneficial "in restoring the use , of nerves and muscles which. were impaired during, his breakdown. He has breakfast in Mrs.. Wilson's bou doir and finds that two'years ofilln.sss and slow convalescence have not af fected his appetite. The morniag pa pers never are neglected whatever else may demand attention. ' Half a dozen off them - are delivered "early and .Mr Wilson reads them thoroughly. Then comes the morning's work. About thai time the mail carrier, six days a week, delivers quite a packet of letters.
