Riches
Harper's Bazaar

We would all like to be wealthy;
yet the man born to a fortune is not
so happy as the man who has the
ability to make one. Unless filled by
some absorbing pursuit, life is blank.
Any profession which rewards a man
for exerting his faculties to the utmost
is, in the long run, a source of the
greatest pleasure in life. Wealth
alone does not bring happiness.
Johnson once observed, after look
ing at the house IF some very rich
man, that all this wealth excluded
only one evil poverty. The remark
may not be logically accurate, but it
points to substantial truth. Down
right want of food or clothes, actual
physical suffering caused by poverty,
is an evil SO great that no other ser
vice which can be rendered by wealth
is equal to that of removing it
After a certain point of relative
comfort is obtained, wealth becomes
burden. Every dollar added to ones
income gives less pleasure than the
preceding dollar, for the simple rea-
son that we naturally spend our in
come on satisfying our most pressing
wants. AS one by one we have stop
ped up every avenue through which
discomfort approaches, we have to
tax our ingenuity to discover new
modes of positive qualification. AS
the human faculties are limited, this
becomes difficult, or even impossible,
except at the price of making our
selves slaves to our wealth.
Of course, if a man chooses to mud
die away his fortune in almsgiving
or gambling, there is no income OF
which he may not easily disburden
himself. We are simply inquinng
how much he can judiciously spend
upon his own comfort.
The list of physical pleasures is very
soon exhausted. A man has but one
palate and one pair of hands. Even
if he wore a new coat every day, he
would soon find that an old coat is
far more comfortable; and the most
skillful cooks will admit dishes only
become very expensive by being out
of season, or by useless extravaganza.
A house of moderate size is as com.
Portable as palace; and few thous~
ands year will provide the best of
dwellings in good situations When
man has as good a house as he cares
to- inhabiJ, as good wines, meats, and
cigars as he cares toconsume, as many
books as ne can read, and as many
pictures as he can enjoy, as much
hunting, or fishing, or travelling as be
can find time for, and can see his
friends as often and in as much com
fort as he chooses, he has all the hap
piness that wealth can give him, even
though he be the owner of millions.

more extensive view which cats take
of the world from housetops gives
them higher character and more
language than dogs have. Among
the other illustrious friends to cats
were Victor Hugo. Theophil Gautier,
Prosper Merimee, ChateaubrIand, Col
Wolsey, and Richelieu. The popular
belief that the devil often puts on the
form Of black cat, no more condemns
cats than the fact that he often as
sumes the form of beautiful woman
condemns all beautiful and bewitch-
ing females.
One of the highest testimonies to
the interesting character of cats is
that lone, single women are attached
to them. Many of them have made
testamentary acknowledgment by be-
quests to found cat retreats, and by
legacies to favorite cats. Not only
has the cat more language than other
beasts, but it obviously understands
human speeck. An unjust feeling is
entertained against it because of its
liking for canary birds; but this grave
propensity proves its higk rank, for
the game propensity is thought one of
the modest traits of man.

varieties of kabab. One is made from
minced mutton, which is chopped
with a few onions into a paste fine as

the kabab of the bazaar, and the deli

usually an inhexibe loaf two feet

THE ANTIQUE FEMININE WAIST.
[ believe it is said that the corss,
was not unknown to Rome, but II /,
clear that the Greek and Romar
women, as whole were quite cor
WINGED that the human form was +.
self beautiful, so that they made M
attempt to disfgure it by compressor
or addition. Young girls were dressed
simply, chastely and yet elegantly IN
the flowing stola, slightly open al The
throat and occasionally falllsg n
two sets of folds. On the eve of mar,
riage Trey were clad in white robs
called the regalia. After that event
they wore the girdle, which the r.
man matrohs generally placed i'm.
mediately beneath the bosom. Some.
times it was band and at other times
a cord tied in a bow, over which tbe
folds of the upper part of the dress
fell gracefully. Among the Greeks
not infrequently worn as Just de-
scribed, it was often placed lower
down. Occasionally the stola was
bound about the bosom by q band
passing over the right shoulder and
under the left breast. This gave the
right arm liberty for action and was
only for this object or for speedy mo,
ton that the waist cord ever seems to
have been drawn very tight. So little
did the Greek and Roman women
think of the waist that in great num-
bers of draped statues their NANTES
are so arranged as to hide it alto
gether. Magazine of Art.
HOW FRENCH WOMEN DRESS.
The chief point to note about the
dress of a Partisan woman, no matter
what her station in life may be, is its
appropriateness. She does not wear
as costly garments usually as the
American of the same social class,
but they are always thoroughly suit
able TO her position and to the occasion
on which they are to be worn. A
French elegante, for instance, will
neither go shopping in velvet Cos
tune nor to wedding or official re,
ception in cloth jacket or cashmere
gown. She never goes out on foot in
superb and snowy apparel, or appear
at ball in dark silk made high in
the neck and with long sleeves
Etiquette forbids her receiving the
most intimate of her gentleman
friends in her morning dress, though
this rule has been relaxed of late in
favor of the very superb morning
toilettes of brocade and satin and lace
which have been concouted for Morn
ing wear by the leading Partisan
dressmakers These, however, are
SIMPLY reception toilettes for morning
instead of for afternoon wear. If sh'
desires to go out on foot she dons thu
simplest of costumes in dark cloth 9
cashmere. Her purse or her desire
may make it, and the same may b
said of the dress in which she receive
callers on her sat home" day. He
theatre bonnet is much more show,
and drefsy than her visiting one.
