(Copvriohf)
NEW York, Dec Fits ODD how diff
ferent ages Of social history will jostle each
other in an afternoon. The then is always
left over to knock elbows with the now.
Two years ago there came to New York a
young southern girl. Sho was clever with
her pen, and earned $50 by newspaper writ
ing, the first seven days she was in the city.
1t came to her in six crisp fvss, the most
beautiful money she had ever seen. Since
that time she has gained from 500 to Sos
weekly and lover in the bargain. When
ever she goes out with her sweetheart there
happens thing that is distinctly fin de
steele. some people would call it prophecy
OF the twentieth century. Bubbling over
with innocence pride in her own independ-
ence and purse-illine capacity, this large
eyed, sweetfaced southern maid lays deep
and dark scenes t. be first to fill the ex-
lenueu pdlm OF the morse car conductor,
frs; up the stairs of the elevated railroad,
first at the bridge ket-seller'S window.
When she has GU generated the man and
paid the expenses of an expedition she
beams.
Against this bit of to-day rubs up costly
BIT ofyesterday. Three or ur young New
York women agreed this week to eat din
ner together the better TO discuss a pan. A
request was sent TO a quiet res aurant for
table for $50 o'c'ock ia the evening. There
came in reply a letter: 1--WE do not admit
ladies unaccompauied by gentle nen after

bring as our chaperone a lady who moves in
fashionable society,"" "In that case, there
may perhaps be little impropriety, but the
reputation Of this establishment must be
maintained" Back and for; n flew the bill.
lets. The young women were, with one
exception, married, and without exception
in receipt by their own exertions Of good
incomes In the end they ate under chape-
ronage and fire of eyes, settling not with

It's strange world, my masters, in which
women earn their own soups, and entrees
and roasts. but may not eat them without
violent protest, unless the rerast be sane
toned by the august presence of a man.

HOW THEY SPENT CHRISTMAS.

There is a rosy young scion of the Van
derbilt stock who got huge enjoyment out
of is Christmas toys. This lad-his name,
| believe, is George, but it's hard to keep
track of children-is Crawford, descended
on the mothers side from the old commo-
re. George earned SO with great pains
taking by going quietly up and down stairs,
This money he wanted for his little chari-
ties; not content with it. he earned other
money by saving and selling bottles and
rags and old papers, and all the accumula-
ii ms that go to junk dealers. Imagine a
little Vanderbilt tugging his baskets of such
boards But Georgia had set his heart on
making fine Christmas gift of shoes and
stockings to barefooted ne wsbOys. IF you
give me the money" he said to the parental
authorities. lit won't really be my present
at ALL"
There was a little dog who ought to have
enjoyed Christmas. for he had a most gor-
geouslv decorated Christmas tree, all for his
canine delectation. This dogs name is
Chum, and he chums with Bah, who hung
on the green boughs all sorts of doggy
delights. not forgetting new whip and
collar.

A COOPERATIVE scHEME.

Every now and then one hears Of a new
instance Of ingenuity on the part Of the
working girls, more especially those who
belong TO clubs and so get the benefit Of
contact with wise and tactful women.
Fourteen of Miss Grace II. Dodge's club
girls have lately gone into a very pretty en-
terprise. They have established themselves
on a cooperative basis ia the manufacture
of dainty baby clothes. A little money has
been put into the plan from outside. II tho
girls succeed and anything is left above
their wages the profits are to be parted in
three, one portion for the stockholders. one
for the girls to be DIVIDED accord
ing to their salaries, and one
for an emergency and enlargement fund.
| do not know of a pleasanter place in the
city il which TO spend half an hour than
the sunny little workroom above the store,
especially If one happens In about O'clock,
when all the wee shocked froCks and long
robes are dropped, while quaint blue and
white cups and saucers, and the shiniest
little kettle are produced, and everybody
has a merry ten minu es over afternoon
tea. The girls take to heir work as gaily
as if they regarded it as an endless succe'-
sion of Jolly sewing bees. They are inter
ested in their task. interested in one am
other and interested and enthusiastic over
their novel SC ene. They are about the
ony really happy-looking sewing girls

WHAT THE MERRY MONARCH THINKS.
Think comic opera succeeds because it
pratifies more tastes than any other form
OF theatrical amusement First, IL furnishes,
or should furnish, the dramatic element;
second, it has the elemant of popular music !;
next, it has picturesque effects i'll the way
of scenery and costumes, and lastly, it af-
fords opportunities for comedy both in
dialogue and in song. The resources are so
much q eater than those to be- obtained in a
pIay. All the posibilities of stage art and
stage craft are available to comic opera. L
believe it appeals to all classes Of people, and
musical education has made such rapid
strides in this country that even the gamln
of the street appreciates the lifting airs OF
comic opera. | think also that comic opera
has been produced in America on more pop
ular lines, has furnished the public with
more genuine and laughable amusement
than is to be found in other forms OF epter-
tainment. In Europe the comedy element
does net appear to be developed 10 tne salLe
extent as it is in America.
A prominent London manager OF comic
opera productions told me recently that ne
did not need very finished comedians In MS
company, for the reason that his audiences
did not care so much tor humorous acting
as thew did for good music and the satire or
the lines themselves. If | may be pardoned
for the development OF GOOD COMEDY ele-
ment, will say that it is the spice-eVen
the very essence-of comic opera as de-
manded by the American people, and if the
opportunities are there, piece cannot
obtain a perfect production without
exhausting them, always remembering
that no other element, either dramatic
or musical, shall be neglected to the detrl-
ment of the unities and natural sequences
of the plot. And finally, the taste Tor
comic opera has been fostered in this coun-
try by such lavish liOerality in the matter ttt
strinned the whole world both in expendi-
ture and effects. 1t is unfortunate that
American history and customs furnish very
few lyric subjects, and that nearly t az our ua

denied demand for light G 0PsTs will so GrSssS

But in the little world of plants and

is not always the basis of change.
There are wretehed instances Of

predisposition to believe that the
insects were destined to act as agents

find that tho pollen was not in a con-

insects were dead. These, he found,
lived long enough TO deposit eggs,
which, by tho time the pollen
matured., had become little wig
glers, which, crawling about the
spadix. carried the pollen from
