If BENJAMIN Franklin had waited
until the present time to write that de-
lightful letter to young people in which
he advocates early marriage, he would
never have written it, says the Pitts
burg Dispatch. He was too observant
man and too true an adviser to have
done it conscientiously in this day. Per-
haps in the days when our grandfatherS'
grandfathers were young men and were
contemplating seriously the advantages
and disadvantages of matrimony, that
was good advice. 1t is good advice now
for young men who have wealthy
fathers or large and sure incomes. But
things have changed since Franklin
died. to use an adaptation of slang re-
mark of some popularity.
l have been making some inquiries
among my friends, married and unmar-
| ried, to see just how much things have
changed. There are even now some al
legged philosophers and philanthropists
who advocate early marriages as a
| means of saving and Increasing health
and happiness. The health and happi-
ness are all right; no one doubts they
will follow judicious mating, but can
saving follow? If those advisers would
do little observing for themselves, and
not let an improved theory back up
any and all statements. they would
have discovered what shall endeavor
to show below.
MEN OF MODERATE MEANS.
This argument refers only to those
young men who have moderate ana
small means and incomes. The youth
whose papa is worth half million,
more or less. and has no brothers or Sis
tiers, may marry as soon as he chooses.
But the young men who are earning
from, we'll, say $40 or S12 a week up to
S25 per week, may be interested in the
figures given below. And perhaps you
young men, yet unmarried, who have
large incomes or rich papaS, will find
the figures worth reading, for you know
riches sometimes, in fact very often III
these days, take unto themselves wings.
The first Young man | spoke to is SIN
GLE and [ endeavored to get him to tell
me how he managed to live on salary
of Sl2 a week, about the minimum, L
take it, of the salaries received by the
average young man of his age and Sta
ton, for he is twenty-five years old and
fairly educated. He is salesman in
book and stationery goods store not far
from the Pittsburg poStoffice, where he
has been employed about six years.
When he came to this city he was
green. and for the first two years eX-
isted on only little more than half his
present income. 1t was then, no doubt.
that he acquired the habit of keeping
an account of the principal items of his
expenditures. He is always we'll
dressed, always has few dollars in his
pockets. is not known among his friends
as '.close fellow" though never does
he spend a great deal. He permitted
me to copy off this page OF his little
memorandum book. 1t shows his ex-

New YORK, May 22.-Another touch
of originality for our readers to-day. in
the shape of a girls cricket gown.
Now that, l suppose, will be an odd
and rather startling idea to Americans,
unless they have learned through their
own observation, or that of their
friends, that it is quite common thing
in England for the young women to
form eleYens among themselves, and to
conscientiously strive for proficiency in
one of the oldest and most popular of
outdoor games. Nearly all the girls
schools and colleges have their cricket
clubs and these are daily to be seen
practicing in the fields; and it is moth
ing unusual for the girls to send chal-
lenges to the elevens of the neighboring
boys schools. The bat for feminine
use is much lighter than the regular
one in favor with the boys clubs: and it
is strung with catgut. after the fashion
of the tennis racket, as shown Ill the
following Illustration.
The cricket costume, too, should be
made as light as possible in weight, and
very simple as to cut. The Redfern de-
signs in this. as in all his other models,
are the best. as they combine style and
utility. Here is his latest, called

WHITE UNDERWEAR

fast Becoming a Thing of the
Past--Pretty Black Goods.
A woman as often viewed on windy
day isn't what she used to be. White,
once deemed so indispensable for I'M
derclothes, is fast becoming a thing of
the past. When rude Boreas lifts a
dress-skirt you are quite as likely to see
nothing but fluttering mass of black.
What would our poor old grandmas say?
Surah or India silk is the favor
ite material for underwear, ana
don't imagine that such an outfit
doesn't cost money; for, when you come
to trim these underclothes with laces
and run them with dainty ribbons, all
forming most exquisite harmony, you
have quite siZable bill to pay. But
you may be economical and make use of
cheaper materials for the understands,
and the divided skirts if you wear them.
They are admirably adapted for mount
ain climbing, tricyclers, tennis and all
outdoor sports. Mohair may be used for
these divided skirts.
| regard the divided skirt as a genu-
Inc dress reform, and predict that it
will displace the old-fashioned petit
coat, which is utterly unfit for anything
like the active outdoor life which young
women especially are called upon more

ONLY ONE CONCLUSION.
Now divide this by fifty-tWO, and we
find that the average living expenses OF
the five persons were S23S4 week, and
that the husband might possibly save
S6.16 per week from his salary of $50.
This would amount to about 1920 a year,
or in ten years, with interest, to some
S4,0OO--enough to buy nice little home,
and provided always that there is little
sickness in the family and not heavy
expenditure for furniture, carpets, dis
tant visits, etc. From the two instances
given it is seen that single man can
live we'll on SO or SIP week, and
married man with three children on $50
a week, and both save money-until
one marries and the others chill
dren grow up. The question is often
asked. how can man support family
on S12 a week? He can't, except by
observing the very strictest economy,
leaving all luXuries by the waySide and
denying himself and his wife OF much
that seems at first thought necessary,
for the children's sake.
The man on $50 week with family
of four besides himself-about the aver
age size of families ten years established
may seem to have ''fat" thing, but
cast your eyes over the figures given
above again and see for yourself that he
wears poorer clothes, has fewer pleas
ures and perchance poorer food than the
single man On S12 a week.
1t isn't so fiat" after all!

GOlul' V1oO %
Dividing this by So we find that his
ments, etc., were about 1915 per week,
leaving him S2.55 per week, or S132.6O
per year to lay by for rainy day.
Of course you will say that this young
man is poorly dressed in s25 suit and
a SIS overcoat, six months worn. But
he isn't. There is not neater, cleaner,
better looking young man in the city
this day than my friend, bearing in
mind that ''better" doesn't mean
richer in this case. You wouldn't
know from his appearance but that he
is receiving S25 week instead of S12.
He is dressed comfortably, too.
BOUGHT NO SHODDY GOODS.
You will notice that he paid S1.50 for
the undershirt he has on. For that
price an Al article can be bought. His
shirts are made of New York mills cot
ton and have good linen bosoms. He
told me that he manages to get 75cent
shirt for so cents by buying them at
time when some one OF the big stores
has marked such garments down. The
balance of his outfit cost about the usual
prices paid by young men. | did not
ask him how he expended the S12 for
amusements, but if he goes to the thea
ter he can geta good seat for so cents.
Thus he could accompany lady friend
twelve times during the year. or go
twenty-four times alone. The $50
charged to incldentals means, sup.
pose, a glass of beer occasionally, a
cigar now and then or maybe a brief
vacation trip. If he has banked his saw
ings, and continues to do so, in ten
years he will have about 81, S00-pro-
vided he doesn't marry.
We see that he saved last year S132.60.
If he had earned but $40 a week, that
wodld have been S104 less, but still a
saving of $3.50, and the same good
clothes and food that he did have. So

AN ECONOMICAL MARRIED MAN.
1t took me some time to find a married
man whose experiences would fifty rep
resent the average married man and his
expenses. But finally l did find one.
He is drawing toward the fortieth year
| mark in his battle with life, and he has
been husband ten years and a father
almost as long. He receives $50 week
as salesman in well-known Pittsburg
wholesale house, and supports his wife
and children WE'LL if not lavishly. The
children are aged and sexed thus: Boy,
8 years; girl, 6 years; baby, Q years. |

This string of figures has grown long,
so let us stop here to glance at the man
ner in which this married man is dressed.
1t will be seen that his clothing costs
him some S51 less than that of the single
young man, though his salary is one and
one-half times greater. His clothes are
all ready-made, and he made last years
light overcoat do service this year. On
all sides he economies. His wife is
really we'll dressed; that is she looks so.
She wear seal cloth coat that cost S45,
but as she gets three years service from
it, he gives me but SIS as one years ex-
penditure in that direction. She makes
all her own and the children's dresses,
and the fifty yards of cotton cloth
charged to her, he tells me, is used to
make much of her own and the little
ones ENTERTAINMENTS. He gets all foot
wear at cost price, saving little there.
Now that we have got the cost of
clothing this family of five persons,
let's take up their living expenses. The
gentleman lives in the suburbs because
he can find better suite of rooms in a
better locality and for less money than
down town. His children, too, get
plenty Of good air and have room to
play, while the school facilities are as
good as elsewhere. He gives me his
living expenses as follows:

ers of her time, having even gone so far
as to appear in public in the divided
skirt, minus any outside covering of the
feminine gender, feat which has at
tracted general attention, and called
down not little sharp criticism upon
her intellectual head. Lord Haberton,
1t is said, looks with open displeaSure
upon this eccentric departure of his
charming wife, and the new generation
of Habertons is as genuinely disguised
with the new fad which its noble mann
ma has taken up as it is possible for
thoroughly well-regulated conventional
young English people to be.
In fact Lady Haberton has called
down so much opprobrium upon herself
for having eSpOused the cause of eman-
cipation from the thraldom of modern
dress, that even she is little weary of
the cOmmotion she has raised, and has
therefore asked Mrs. Miller to cross the
seas and pay her visit in order that
her distinguished hostess may have an
opportunity to learn of less radical
measures of reform. Mrs. Miller is ac-
companied by her sister, Miss Mabel
JenneSS.
The Jenness-Miller work, which b
for its object the emancipation of Women
from the bondage of fashionable dress,
was taken up Dy us originator, MIS-.
Annie Jenness-Miller, some three or
four years ago, and since that time has
made rapid strides in the direction of
progress and relief.
The new style gowns, 1t was thought,
would prove priceless boon to the
great army of workingwomen, such as
clerks, teachers and the like, who are
constantly on their feet, and to whom
such freedom, it was presumed, would
be most welcome. But in this Mrs. Mill
er and her kindred spirits were sadly
disappointed. Workingwomen In most
cases have refused utterly to have any
thing to do with the dress; it was left
for the fashionableS to take up and per-
petuate that which was designed for
more practical uses.
