Portraits OF New York Life as Seen
From the Walk
(Coplrflhkl

York is buying flowers. Everybody has a
rose or pink in his or her buttonhole. or a
branch Of lilacs 10 his or her hand. The
perfume of the flowers bring back to every
body that country which is Gods own. and
which man who could only take bricks and
build houses could not have made. 1t makes
every human being want to walk across the
grass and feel the soft ground under the
feet, Notwithstanding the care with which
the sign of keep off the grass" is put every
where. Everybody wants TO get out into the
parks, where they can get great mouth
fuls of sweet, fresh air, and o, you people
who are fortunate enough not to be DWELL
ers in great cities these spring time days.
please don't forget not only the poor, but
just remember that to the sick and the
lonely rose or a branch of lilacs will
bring happy time; time, maybe. of
"reminiscences. but still the perfume Of the
flower will carry joy with il wherever it
goes. Sentimental Well, you can't blame
a woman for being bit sentimental these
spring days, when the sun is so bright and
the flowers are so sweet. And what is a
woman without sentiment, anyways You
wouldn't like her, and nobody else would.
But, to be quite honest, 1 think men have
much more sentiment than women.
| SADNESS WHERE HAPPINESS SEEMS.
1
ner, and a very fine turnout went by. A
woman with marvellous. glossy, black hair
and great dark eyes, beautifully dressed,
| and looking tine embodiment of happiness,
smiled and bowed to me, and just then |
heard voice near me say: 81 wish were
that woman" l looked around, aud there
stood a sweet looking, dainty little creature,
quite as attractive in her simple frock as
was madame in her gorgeousness. For all
| the girl saw was the pranciug steeds, the
beautiful gown, the richness of lace and the
| loneliness of silk. She couldn't see far
enough in the deep eyes to discover the sad
ness and disappointment that lay therein.
And / wondered what that girl would
think, or il she wouldn't change her wish,
if she knew exactly that woman's life. This
| is part Of it.
ONLY A RICH WIFE.
She is the wife of a very rich man, and
to-day il she wants SIS she has to get it on
one of her accounts and have them charge
it to frills and furbelows. She doesn't
know what it means to have money to
spend. She can give her name for an
enormous amount to charity and her hus-
band will send a check; she can buy
the best of everything in New
York or Paris and the bills will be
paid. but she cannot have any money
to handle. And why? Because her people
are poor her husband does not like them, and
he will not permit her to give one cent to
| them. A year ago her brother, young
boy. did as many another boy has done, got
into some trouble, and 81, 900 was required
to get him out of it. To be quite plain, he
had forged mana name, and this man
said: "If you will get the money I will
save you from shame. and because 1 be-
heve you have suffered for this, I will keep
you in my employ The boys future de-
pended on his getting the money. The
man knew
THE BOY HAD RICH SISTER,
and it never entered his head that she would
not easily and gladly give her brother the
$4,000. Her brother went to her and told
her the story, and she said: "Charlie, what
can dos You know | never have a cent"
And then he told her how much depended
on it, and then she said: ''rll get you that
money in some way" And this is how she
did it: She took the diamond necklace that
had been one of her wedding presents, and
which had cost nearly $40, 900, and she car
ried it to a pawnbroker's, where she got
81, 600 on it. Since that time she has never
been able to get the amount of money needed
to get it out, and it's only by saving and
pinching that she has enough TO pay the in
terest on 1t. That she may never have to
wear it, she has assumed fashion that
very much pleases her husband.
WHERE POVERTY LIES AMID RICHES.
| one wears no J6Wel WlAC6Vor except q
tiny diamond heart that he gave her, and
he is convinced that she shows marvellous
taste in refusing to exhibit her diamonds,
| pearls, rubies and emeralds as do the
climbers in society, for, as everybody
knows she has them, she can afford not to
wear them. At one time she was very i'll
although she was never quite out of her
mind. When the time came around for the
interest to be paid, she sent for a friend
condded her secret to her, and in
this way it was paid, the necklace was
saved, and the husband is still ignorant. OF
, course, some day he will find out the secret
, and, do you know, l think she would be a
wisec woman if she would tell him now
have the explosion at once and not live il
a state of nervous dread You laugh al
this You think you have read such things
in novels; and you know that usually they
are the result of good imagination. Prob
ably. But in this case the truth is told, anc
if were before the judge of US all, l could
hold up my right hand and affirm it, Be
cause | never do swear, the drop of Quaker
blood in me making me think that my
| solemn word of honor is worth more than
an oath. If | would lie when | said tolC

! AFAD FOR THE LUxURIANT.
Speaking of diamonds reminds me thai
, the latest fad, when my lady is giving 6
dove luncheon is to have jewel table il
5 her boudoir. This table has richly carved
= legs, while the upper part, Unframed in wha
looks like gold, is of thick glass, box-li1e il
: design, the top lifts up, and on the bottom
is velvet cushion. upon which all the
jewels repose. After they are taken from
their cases and spread out, as my lady de
sires, then the lid is locked (for my lady
: knows the ways of the society woman), and
r her special frieads are permitted to lool
: upon the gems when they are red, white
4 blue, or whatever their color may be-
OF course, each must have his
$ tory, and the clever hostess is lacking in
cleverness if she cannot invent one for eacl
l jewel. One woman who prides he self or
: her emeralds has them reposing on a laven.
3 der velvet pad. and round about them is q
Z rosary Of golden-brown wood, each bead OF
which is as large as a hickory nut. This is
, the one gotten at Lourdes, and, after de
{ failing the history Of the gems, she fun nily
Z | enough refers to this rosary by saying
! That's the favorite rosary of the French
, women; they like to take it to bed with
! them, and say their prayers there, as The
beads are so big they do not slip out o.
their hands in the dark"
