''WhO says elevators are not useful for
more purposes than the one for which
they were invented? But, stick pin

erence to morals. -
A certain young Fuglishman or fault
less address and charming manners, who
has been a great tavOrite IN society here
for several weeks past, allowed MS pre-
tige TO escape by a singularly foolish ac-
ton. He conducted q girl and chap
eTone TO the theater, and afterwards
took them to a fashionable restaurant for
supper. AT the end Of the repast he
was excused for a moment and went to
the cashier.
How we do, - be said, with great
showing of nOnchalance. 90 say, don t
you know, I've got two ladies here 10
supper and I'm bit short. Just put it
down to my account. -
The cashier looked at the Englishman
=
Lyon have nearly $500 down to your
account now, " said he, "and the orders
are that there must be a payment before
anything more is charged to you.
After considerable parleying the En-
gllsbman offered an opera glass as secur-
itv and it was accepted. Then he re-
turned smilingly to his friends. A few
days later the owner of the opera glass
received note from the keeper of the
restaurant, saying that such an article
engraved with her name, was in his pos
session, and stating by what means it
came there. The young lady, who had
believed the EnglIshman the younger son
of a lord as he represented killed the ten
der sentiment that was beginning to bud
for him in her heart, and wrote him
note asking him to return at once the
various valuable books she had loaned to
him; also the ring he had wheedled from
her in an indisCreet moment of tender
ness None of these articles were forth
coming, and it has just been learned
that the adventurer has departed west
ward, leaving q stack of unpaid bills, be-
sides several lunches of worthless notes.
He PLAYED q fairly capable game, but
tripped at last over a very small OBJ
stacle.
It is often necessary to go abroad in
order TO find out what Is going on in your
own house. The truth of this ancient
apothegm is strikingly illustratedby read
ing in a French journal that at large
dinner parties in New York now the ia
bles are lighted by electric lights hidden
in shTubbery or under fern leaves. At
times the lights are not sufficiently tenn
Dered BY the foliage and the unfortunate
guest must sit with an Edison burner
streaming in his or her face during the
entire dinner. Not very pleasant. But
vive la science. The same journal pre-
diets that the barbarous Americans will
ere long introduce Edison s photograph at
dinner parties in order that the guests
may listen to Patti as rendered in Punch
iuello tones. Perhaps. That Americans
have been "barbarous enough to in
vite a party OF friends to dinner and then
photograph them by flash light is a fact.
Society beauties will not relish this pro-
cedure, for, generally speaking, these
photographs transform the most beauti-
full faces into absolute scarecrows.

A short time ago a well-known mer-
chant died, leaving his wife and daugh-
ter Unexpectedly penniless. 1t was at
both ends meet, and the girl started out
to find what she could do. Inside of q
month she had decided that she could do
nothing Finally it struck her that she
might be of some use as an artists
model. OF course, she would never con-
sent to posing in the nude, as she had
heard most models did, but she thought
her face, whichlyas exceptionally pretty,
might be utilized to her profit. She &C
cordingIy went the rounds of the studios OF
all the figare painters, and was sneBSss7
from the start without being COMPELLED
to forfeit her self respect in thes least.
One artist has already copied her hair;
another has made the whole head ,<and
still another has copied her IN tesgning
dress for pictufefshat he will sendeses
Paris The.oddest compliment that the
young lady has been paid, however, isl
by a sculptor. This gntlemen was in
the studio of a painter enc afternoon
complaining that it was impossible for
him to get the model of q perfect foot for
his latest work. The painter at once
said:
