THE YOUNG LADY And HER POCKET
BOOK

What is a pocket-book? We address this
question to the young lady Of the period. We
address il TO her respectfully but firmly, and with
much curiosity 1t is evident that she does not
define a potket-book a small case that is
carried in a pocket. o, no, not she. 10 be
sure, its name implies that pocket-book is
carried in a pocket. To be sure, too, the die
tionaries tell us that pocket-book is carried in
a pocket. But the young lady Of the period,
in spite of the poclSet-book's name and in spite
of the dictionaries, gives the world to understand
that from her point OF view pocket-book Is a
small case carried in the hand Walk through
any of our busy streets to-day and notice the
young lady OF the period as she goes about her
Christmas shopping. Where does she carry her
pocket-book? Not in her pocket but in her
hand.
Obviously there is an advantage in carrying q
pocket book in the hand rather than in the pocket
But the advantage is not in favor of the young
lady of the period. but of brute men OF the
period whose career is pursued to the motto,
Whenever you get chance to steal a pocket
book. steal it," 1t delights these professionals
to observe that the young lady of the period
kindly co-operates with them by keeping her
pocket-book where they can readily get at 1t.
II she consigned it to her pocket when she started
out to do her shopping, only producing it when she
had occasion to pay bill, life would be less
JOYOUS and more precarious thing than it now
is to pocket-book snatchers 1t is only fair to
state that the young lady Of the period has been
heard to explain that she carried her pocket
book in her hand. not from choice but from
necessity the fact being that the gowns in which
she takes her walks abroad are not furnished
with pockets Yes, but why they not fur
nished with pockets? This pivotal inquiry in
duces the dressmaker of the period to take the
floor, and she argues that gown with pockets
does not fit as well gown without pockets.
OF course, if a gown with pockets cannot be re-
he'd upon TO fit perfectly there is no help for it
the pocket-booll of the young lady of the period
must be carried in her hand 1t is not that she
hates less to have her pocket-book snatched from
her, but that-and very naturally-she hates more
TO wear gowns that fit badly.
This interesting inquiry suggests that tailors
are more skilful artists than dressmakers. The
| clothes that man gets from tailor who knows
his business fit perfectly, and yet, just count the
| pockets In the trousers three, in the walstcoat
! four, in the coat four. in the overcoat four,
| total ffteen-on a moderate estimate. Now II
| men can be rendered glasses Of fashion. moulds
| of form, and can still be supplied with fifteen
pockets. il would seem possible to give the young
| lady Of the period one pocket big enough to hold
small pocket-book without endangering the fit
of her gown. At least, that is the way it strikes
| the purely male mind; but then the male mind
knows so little about gowns that its conceptions
may he wholly mpracticabe.

MISTAKEN LENIENCY.

The Western Union Telegraph Company has
Just concluded an investigation in its Boston
office which has disclosed conspiracy among
the messengers and some other employees, and
a consequent loss of money. The loss is small,
being made up of daily plferings, and so far
as is known the rascals have not caused the
public any Inconvenience by delaying dis
patches or otherwise directly impairing the
service. The thieves robbed the company by
pocketing money paid for messages received
and sent, and by padding the delivery lists
and then taking payment for delivering imag-
mary dispatches. 1t is announced that the
company will not prosecute the offenders, but
will content itself with revising the system.
Probably the motive for this merciful course
is the fact that most of those involved are
young boys, upon whom the company is I'M
willing to put public stigma. Occasionally,
we have no doubt, leniency toward an indi-
vidual is amply justified by the result, and
when the question can be settled in secret be-
tween the employer and the employed, without
taking any other person or the public at large
into consideration nobody has reason to com
plain. But when crime has been announced
and attention has been fixed upon the Grim
nal, free idon is more apt to promote than
to discourage wrongdoing among those who are
conscious of tendency in that direction. Per-
sons who are honest by instinct do not need to
be inspired by such examples of magnanimity,
and those who are honest through fear of pun
ishmelt are further demoralized at the sight of
lucky escape.
Moreover, a telegraph company is under spe-
cial obligations to the public. Upon its absO-
lutte fidelity depend the fortunes and the honor
Of its patrons. So accustomed are we to the
free use of the facilities which it places at our
disposal that we seldom give a thought TO the
momentous secrets with which il is intrusted
during every moment of the day The most
timd and cautious man unhesitatingly com
mits to an operator the message which he would
not divulge to his closest friend. The extreme
rarity Of betrayal is most extraordinary and
creditable fact, but telegraph companies will
justly forfeit some portion of confidence if they
relax in the slightest degree the rigid scrutiny
Of the minutest details of their business. And
it seems to us that the first step toward such
a relaxation is willingness TO remit the
penalty which ought inexoraby TO follow every
discoverable symptom of bad faith on the part
Of their employees. Their relation to the social

dency to use gold rather than silver Is pu'
the fruit of apprehension that silver may De
more completely discarded; that the staoiiity
Of the standard of value in Great Britain has
already been impaired by the action Of other
countries, and it is of vital Importance to ar
rest the evil. The question whether debtors
will be unduly favored is argued at length, and
IL is urged that, whatever the evils to be ap-
prehended from international compact, those
which may be expected from continuance OF
present uncertainty are infinitely more serious.
Americans will find no difficulty in perceiv-
ing that the advocates of settlement have the
best of the argument, for they recognize the
fact that the existing uncertainty involves
great evils, and for England great perils. Their
opponents gain nothing by solemnly proposing
that other nations should do something to pull
England's chestnuts out of the fire. The use
of some additional subsidiary silver, or small
notes which would circulate without deprecia-
ton, if at all, only because virtually inter-
changeable with notes redeemed in gold, would
not help the matter at all. This country has
"used' in similar ways vast amount of silver
Il has kept a large part of the product off the
worlds market for ten years. There is no
evidence that the market for bullion has been
helped, excepting as an ultimate settlement
has been deferred possibly TO the convenience
of England. 1t does not follow that more
speedy settlement would not have been better
for all concerned. The problem remains as
threatening as before; perhaps more threaten
ing, since the stock of silver which might be
thrown upon the market is larger, while Eng
lish investments in this and other silver using
countries are also enormously increased.
