Caste at Ballston.

A friend recently told me that he had
learned where they draw the dividing
line between the upper and lower crusts
of Ballston society. A resident of that
village was showing him "the sights.
At the corner Of two wooded lanes was
the foundation of a house. 1t was a
stone foundation; but grass had begun
to cover it, and it looked as if it were
never to serve its intended purpose. Next
to it stood a pretty cottage. "a barber
lives in that house," remarked that Ball
stonian, pointing to the cottage.
"He evidently made it pay" was my
friends comment.
"And the man who was going to build
there" continued the Ballstonian, point
ing to the abandoned foundation, 'gave
it up as soon as he heard that the barber
had bought the lot next to him and was
going to build there"
"And what is the business of the great
man who couldn't bear the thought OF
living next door to barberT" asked the
visitor.

He Changed His Mind.

The general manager of our mill is
one of the road commissioners of this
county, and the duty of keeping the
public roads worked devolves upon him
in this district. Instead of making the
employees of his mill go out and work the
highways he hires it done and collects
from each man his pro rata share of the
cost.
Among the men is an old darky and
his son, strapping buck of great mus
cular powers. A few days since the col
lection for road tax was in order, and
the necessary amount was deducted from
each mans time; among them this old
darlSy and his son. The next day I was
waited on by the old man, who said:
"Boss, diden yo' tex out tax fer Mum

"Well, dat's wrong, sab, 'kase he amt

''Well, you'll have to see the general
manager about it," said, "for cannot
refund it without his orders"
That night he came again and the
manager was present.
"You say your boy is not old enough
to work the roadsY" he asked, after the
situation was explained to him.

GLOW much do we pay Monroe?" asked
the manager, turning to me.
"Mens wages" replied.
"Then, If he is not old enough to work
the roads he is not old enough to do a
mans work on the yard, so you may
give back the tax collected from him
and also make his pay in the future just
half what it is now-that is, the reg
ular boys wages"
The old negro looked dumfounded at
the consequence of his speech, but, turn
ing to the general manager, he said;
"Yo' needn mind bout gibin' dat back,

sha shoued Hin star..

For every shooting star he claimed kiss;
She, seeming coy, at flrst demurred to this
But he, persisting, would not be denied,
When he at length a hying meteor spied.
And so, as evening grew apace, their eyes
Oft scann'd the glittering aspect of the skies
And when darting star caught either's sight
sound Of kissing broke upon the night.
And so 1t came to pass anon that she
Look'd d for a shooting star as much as he
Nay, IL by chance a star escaped his view,
She called his wondering fancy to 1t, too.
When intervals seemed long between each hug,
She called him on passing lightning bug;
And, ever taxing her ingenious mind,
Her ready wit enabled her TO find
More shooting stars In three short heeting hour
Than would compose whole meteoric showers.
But when she did her last pretext exhaust,
And was about TO yield her case as lost
She saw a switchmans 8 lantern circllng swing

IDEAS FOR DRESS.

Paris has had touch of Anglophobia
in the way of dress.
French gray is as popular a color as
ever for spring dresses.
Silver buttons are used on yachting
gowns instead of gilt ones.
Every girl should dress as well as her
time and purse will allow.
The Tuxedo suit for ladies consists of
blouse waist, skirt and sash.
Ladies are beginning to wonder how
they could ever have liked the directoire
gown.
There is but little difference in outward
appearance between good sateen and an
India silk.
Tarpaulin hats, either black or white,
in sailor shape, are affected by feminine
yachtsmen.
1t is part of French economy that a
woman shall not wear her street costume
in the house.
Surah silk dust cloaks are seen quite
frequently on women bent upon shop
ping expeditions
Riding habits are still dark in color,
but ladies will soon make a change to
light gray and brown.
The broad lace and muslin frills which
have lately come into fashion often give
a fresh air to very faded costume.
A tea gown of latest pattern is in old
rose India silk with the Watteau fullness
in the back laid in accordion plaits.
A black costume is extremely chic il
worn with yellow turban of fancy
straw trimmed with black ribbons and
feathers.
A year ago few ladies had the courage
to wear dress withouta hustle. BY mid
summer there will not be such an article
