Sashes are important items in children,
dresses.

fashionable.

New York Cor. Inter ocean, /
There is another condition of New
York sociability to be deplored. What
mean is that one can Never tell whether
the cordiality of man is spontaneous
or merely a. means OF
making you contribute to his business or
professional prosperity. The personal
of man lin this big city
makes in a measure his success To ge'
along in many callings here acquaint
ances of the right sort are requisite. In
many rural villages and smaller cities
phys clan, dentist, or lawyer may hang
out sign and have some employment
come to him, but in New York a mans
shinsie Will rot away before a patient OF
Client will enter.
Tie most successful physicians and
dentists are those who give no indica |
ton on their doorposts of what probes
sion is pr;tc,iced within. The door-plate
says SIMPLY John smith," and the
passing stranger gets no hint of his vo-
cation. He has secured his practice
through making acquaintance in his
church, club, regiment, or whatever so !
cial circle he can crowd himself into
The stock. brokers' hardest work is done |
in the evening when he is coursing |
through the hotels and club-rooms in |
the search of new victims to the fascina-
ton of speculation. After he gets
business we'll started it gathers bulk to
itself like rolling SNOWFALL. One Gus
toner brings another, as one client or
one patient br others. Ability to
make good impr ,ssion in the social
world and to be Liked and sought is
quite as much an aid to prosperity in
New York as knowledge of the business
pursued.
