WOMEN'S PIN MONEY.
The Allowances Made BY Million.


aires to their Daughters.
II have only an allowance of $40 a
week for pocket money" said the
daughter of a millionaire i'll confiden-
tial moment the other day. Papa has
such an idea of money, you know, and
he thinks l am wildly eXtravagant to
81 end that small amount On candies,
flowers, novels and theater tickets.
Mamma orders all my clothing, you
know, and so of course / do not have to
buy anything that really need"
70 many young girl SO a week
would seem sufficient for pocket money,
and, indeed, how many hundreds of
pretty and clever girls are there who
cannot earn more than that amount
even by working hard each day of the
week? But the average fashionable So
ciety girl has so many demands on her
purse that $40 does not go far.
It is said that Jay Gould very gener-
OuSly allows his pretty daughter $25, and
with this she not only supplies her own
little wants, but gives to most of her
small charities.
Cornelius Vanderbilt and Elliott F.
Shepard allow each of their six children
certain amount of pocket money each
month, and they are all required to keep
cash accounts and present them to their
papas the first of each month. The
amounts are not large, and are given
more to make the little millionaires un-
derStand the value OF money than aught
else.
Willie K. Vanderbilt's three children
are allowed plenty of pocket money, but
they are fined heavily for all misdemean-
Ors. They dine in a pretty little room
n ri
if a tiny drop of any coffee. milk or wine
is spilled on the snowy cloth the offender
is fined % cents for each offense. A
glass of water knocked over or dish
let fall on the floor brings a fine of so
cents to the culprit, and all the fines go
to the foreign and home missions.
"What do | do with my $40 week?"
asked an only daughter of Fifth ave-
nue. millionaire. when asked the ques-
ton. "Well, not always the same
thing. Last week l spent every cent of
it on lovely new parasol to carry at the
coaching parade, and then, after all my
trouble, it poured rain. l generally
purchase my t1OwerS-you know l must
every day-and they cost 81 cluster.
"1'hen bonbons, soda, chocolate and
those little trifleS come to about S5, and
couple of matinee tickets, tea for my
old woman at the Home for the Aged,
new music and papers use up the rest.
l am fearfully short sometimes, and l
draw in advance and forget to pay back,
don't you know? Papa used to allow
me so much every quarter for my ward
robe and maid, but l was always in deep
water. Now L order what l want and
have the bills sent to him."
81 do not think that the wealthiest
New Workers are more than liberal
in allowing pocket money for their
daughters" said the principal of very
fashionable uptown school. my pu-
pills are, most of then, daughters of
millionaires, and yet they have seldom
enough for their many little wants. 1t
is wisdom, not meanness, on the part of
the parents, think.

once.
Another way to serve watermelon is
to take sharp knife and cut around
the center in jagged points. Pass
carving knife through the thick part,
cut off little of the round ends to make
the two pieces stand firmly and send to
the table on fiat platter.
Watermelon rind makes a delicious
preserve and is not expensive. Take
the rind while firm, and with sharp
knife peel off the thin, green outer sur
face, and then cut up into small pieces
of any size or shape; cubes, stars, hearts
Place in strong solution of salt and
water for twenty-four hours, then put
ia fresh water over night.
In the morning weigh the rind and
allow pound of sugar for every pound
of fruit; place the sugar in preserving
kettle, with half teacup of water to
each pound and let it come to boil.
Place the rind in weak solu-
ton of alum and water to harden
it for about half hour before the syrup
boils. Then drain, put in with the
syrup and boil half hour or more until
the fruit is translucent. Take out of
the kettle and place in jars, boil the
syrup half hour longer, add a spiced
lemon to every two pounds and pour
over the fruit. When cool seal and set
in dark place.
A favorite dish South is watermelon
ice. This is simply made by removing
the ripe fruit from the rind, taking out
the seeds, placing in a freezer and let
ting it remain couple of hours. Some
add cupful of sweet cream and cup
of powdered sugar to good-sized melon
and freeze all together.

Swing, little flower, for the wind blows now;
But none of you have such a swing as mine.
Dear little bird come sit on my toes;

And oh, l tell you, nobody knows
What fun we'd nave if you'd play with me !.
Come and swing with me, birdie dear,
Bright little flower, come swing In my hair :;
But you, little spider, creepy and queer
You'd better stay and swing over therei
The sweet little bird, he sings and sings,
But he doesn't even look in my face:
The bright little blossom swings and swings,
But sUill ii swings in the sef-same place.
Let them stay where they like it best:
Let them do what they'd rather do;
My swing is nicer than all the rest,
But maybe it's rather too small for two.

FITS-IN GETTING IT,"
One woman at night batheS her face
in boiling water and rubs it with flannel
because she has read that such and such
famous French beauty so obtained and
preverved her marvellous complexion.
Another religiously bathes hers in cold
water and does not rub it at all, because
she has read that the same famous
French beauty followed the same treat
ment. A society girl lately emerged
from temporary secluSion with her
face strongly marked. She explained
it by telling that while out at the Town
and Country club several days before,
she poisoned her face with ivy. To
only her loyal bosom friend did she con-
fess that the truth of the matter was she
had read that paste of fuller's earth
spread on the face at night would leave
the skin like satin in the morning. She
made the experiment. AS soon as the
stuff dried on it felt extremely disagree
able, and when she strOve to wash it off,
the should have been satiny skin came
Off with it.
What women will not submit to for
the sake of beauty is something which
has never been recommended to them,
and which their imagination has never
suggested as promoter of loveliness.

Home Decorations.

July Table Talk.
An odd idea that has taken hold,
especially in country houses, is to
decorate a series of rooms representing
certain countries or periods in history.
Descriptions come to us of charming
house in the south of France, whose
owner has fitted up a series of apart
mentS, opening one into the other,
describing veritable series of pictures; !;
scenes in South American forests and
historical apartments in the days of
Mesdames Recamier and De Stael, and
one Imagination is bold enough to
carry out in supposed details the sump-
tuous boudOir Cleopatra might have
the way, take an especial pride in their
boudoirs; no matter how spacious their
houses may be this is one spot they
claim as their "very Own," and highly
favored is the friend who is admitted
into the cosy Sanctum. Boudoir is
purely French creation. Littre tells
us that the "word" means ito sulk."
BOudOirs were not in existence until
the eighteenth century, and the
word was coined at the same
time. Sulking-rooms or not, bou-
doirs are usually very cheerful and
comfortable. A couch for the boudoir
may De WlOe, JOW COucn OF wicker
work, upon which is laid a thick mat
tress, over which is thrown Turkish
covering, rich, dark, strongly blended
colors, falling to the floor. Three square
pillows should then be procured of a
size that, when placed together, the
three extend the length of the couch; /;
cover these with French cretonne of
harmonious colors; tie them together
with ribbon loops and lean them up
against the wall, alongside of the
couch. A charming dressing table,
also for the boudoir, is medium

An oval mirror framed in putfed satine, is

thoroughly au fait, what is known as a

in the boudoir furniture. All women
love a cup of fragrant Oolong, and it
certainly imparts wonderful zest to con-

Fashionable Combinations of
Colors-LoreIei Costumes-Corn-
flower Bonnets.
Ecru lace dresses made up over pongee
are extremely fashionable for outdoor
wear. They are made with full plain
drapery and round bodice. and are some
times ornamented with ecru, pale green
or terra-cotta ribbons.
A fashionable combination, Just now
observed in both hats and dresses, is
paleSt blue with black. Black lace
gowns are ornamented with blue rib
bons, and some fine black chip and lace
bonnetS and hats are trimmed with big
bows of blue ribbon to correspond. An
other mingling of colors is palest green
with deep violet. The effect is only
becoming to ladies with very delicate
compilations.
Poult de sole is one of the favorite
materials for the Directoire gowns so
much worn. 1t is a beautifully soft
material, has more body than null and
tulle and drapeS to perfection. A gown
in pure ivory white Of this material,
made for a debutante, with stay bodice
of white moire, and large sash Of the
latter goods, is especially pretty.
''Lorelei'' costumes are among the
novelties. These are made of white,
pale-green or coral tulle or gauZe in
semi-Greek pattern, and are trimmed
with water lilies, seashells, seaweed,
coral or anything suitable for the char
acter. One exquisite model is of white
gaze de Chambery, with an underslip of
sea-foam green and bands of silver sea-
weed clasping it at the waist, shoulders
and sleeves. Another of coral pink
over green is caught up with pink

Low-cut bodices, lacing up the back,
and made of tan-cOlored velvet, are in
the extreme OF fashion, worn at dances
with skirts of white lace, tulle or silk.
They look we'll with tan-colored kid
gloves and with any kind of flowers.
Poppy and cornfower bonnets, for
garden parties and outdoor gatherings,
are favored just now. The flowers are
sometimes combined and the hat or bon

bows and ribbons.

RED HAIR AND WHITE HORSES

Origin of the Popular Supersti-
tion As 10 Their Contiguity.
The popular jest about the necessary
coDtiguity Of red-headed girls and white
horses is by no means modern, though
in its recent revival it has swept over
the country as novelty. Some of us
remember that our grandfathers used
jocularly to assert it to the wondering
ears OF youth as a well attested fact.
In all likelihood the saying took its
origin in the old English game
called sometimes ''the game of the
road" but more often ''ups and DOWNS"
which is still Il favorite among children
and travelling statesmen in Great
Britain. One party takes the ''up" side
of the street or road, the other the
''down," counting one for every or
dinary object and one for white horse,
a piel,ald one counting as White, till
certain number agreed upon carries off
the victory. but a red-hcadcd woman or
a donkey wins the prize at once.

Just as regularly as the literary man
in the last stages of decay gives to the
world certain laws of how to be sue
cessful in life, the literary woman, when
her wits begin to slough off, takes to
setting forth in print the
SURE ROAD TO BEAUTY.
Last winter Ella Wheeler Wilcox
reached this stage. She advised girls
to cultivate amiability because a sour
disposition produces unbecoming lines
on the face, and she approved of pow
der enough to tell the tale of its appli-
cation, because, according to one Ct
Elias lovers, it creates in men desire
to kiss it off. To my certain knowledge,
as result of Mrs. Wilcox's overflow,
three different and distinct young
women of sentimental turn took the
first step Oh the downward path to the
ruination of their compilations, and
have ever since been steadfastly
and hopelessly wearing powder con-
spicuously on both cheeks. Doesn't
