Economy IN Swell Circles.

"Scrimping" Is the art of being economical
without looking the picture Of poverty.
Ever since ex-Ju6ge John Fitch, In an ex-
tended interview. gave his pessirnissic views
IL regard to tue scrimping tendency OF the
times the word has become very common
among the politicians and young sristocratic
s"ells who frequently haven't the money b
swell IL on the scale they desire They SIM
ply say they are .escrimping,T and that
means hard pan economy, last seasons
clothes saved over, cheap cigars-in fact,
cheap everything. Judge Fitch, In his pol
ished and elegant style, stated that scrimp-
ing was invading many Of the mast ariseo-
cratic mansions Of the city. Some wears ago,
he asserted, a reception meant q suu,p,uous
spread and plenty OF champagne Now a
phantom lunch was offered consisting of a
thimble cup OF bouilion too hot to drinl. and
@ diaphanous slice Of bakers bread The
judge is one Of the best informed scholars
about town, and always meets with hearty
welcome from his hosts Of frieuds-Nev
