NEW York, May 23.-We are getting
.orv rich now, we girls of Gotham, for We
bsvs found an ornamental way Of saving
money. Some genius put e nice little silver
Rank upon the market, and some other
,anius manufactured ever SO many of these
Sittos in nickel plate, SO that all the girls
could have them. The rich girls got silver
ones; the girls who we're not so rich COM
,anted themselves with the nickel
Mated article. The former cost about $40;
the latter Gust about 10 cents, and they both
rlill their purpose just the same, and.
what Is even more important in the eyes of
fsmlninity, they look alike and one is just
Is pretty as the other, hanging from the
belt of the young woman who carries all her
necessities dangling in front of her.
These tanks are about the size of a very
fat stick of candy, and are about one-half
as long. They hold Just IS in 10-cent
nieces. and faithful little register on the
side tells what progress one is making on the
road to wealth. When the last 10-cent
riece is put in the bottom Of the whole con-
Germ drops, and the happy accumulation has
five whole dollars in the form Of fifty 10
cent pieces. The game is to fill the banks
full to the top, with the exception of the
last fatal piece, which causes the bottom to
fall out: thus, "a 30 is amassed safely be-
yond the reach of spendthrift fingers, for it
is impossible to get inside of these silver
tubes. The bank, nearly full, is laid away,
and the work of accumulation goes on in
new bank. This is filed In the same way,
and is laid beside its brother in the holy of
holes, where The prudent little maiden keeps
the treasures which she does not wish to have
moths corrupt nor thieves break through
and steal. One girl says that she has two
aud half banks full, and when she gets
another she is going to add the missing
lnk-the last ten necessary to break the
bank-and with the wealth which she will
have poured into her lap she will buy pair
Of giddy silk stockings and carriers with a
tiny Jewel in the clasp TO symbolic the
month in which she was born. II she
breaks the bank this month a bit Of spark
ling emerald must glisten upon her leg
where the garter goes round, because May
is the month for emeralds.
There is another caper which the prudent
young woman is perpetrating, and that is
the procuring of a receptacle for her jewels
and treasures where they will be perfectly
safe. Freaks of hypnotism, vagaries of
theosophism and kleptomaniacal tendencies
are making it as simple a matter to appro-
pirate property which belongs to another,
and vet not to be punished for such an APP
propriation, that the woman who would
guard her treasures and keep them
for her own must think of a way of outwit-
ting the occult mysteries which rule people
when they want something which does not
belong to them and intend to have it with
out buying it or paying for it. The only
way in which she can do this is by getting
ahead Of the mysteries and outwitting them.
She has a somewhat difficult task before
her, as she must deal not only with flesh and
blood and mortal minds, but supernatural
agencies which work in conjunction with
such flesh and blood.
A New York woman who has been greatly
discouraged by appropriations, formerly
called thefts, thought Of a way which no
one has yet betrayed. l give it because
some other woman may wish to copy the
idea and may have the ingenuity to make
certain alterations upon it so that it will not
be exactly the same. In one side Of this
New York womans window casing, under
the portlere which hangs straight down at
the side of the window, she had a little door
cut and place followed out in the lath and
plaster underneath large enough to hold her
hugs, AIOuOJ DdhAo3 SJ4Ch pms GAAu
watches The little closet when finished
was about as large as mammoth orange
or a small-siZed muskmelon. The caseing
was then fitted with little hinge and was
neatly replaced with small screw-eye
upon the front, by which it could be
opened and closed. The ingenious woman
says that the next time sue will have the
receptacle made in the woodwork of heavy
oak door which is in her boudoir, or that
cba v1yiIir int ha lamar l11OalHinT- rd
which runs around the room. A small
portiere, bannerette or fancy card might
be hung from the wall over any little closet
which the owner chose to have fitted up.
By this little device absolute safety is as
sured, for. even in case Of fire, the walls are
left standing many times out OF ten, and
there is little possibility Of any one finding
out the secret of the hidden wealth?
If you have friends who are going upon a
journey across the continent or across the
ocean; or, indeed, it they are going for
little trip of any kind, and you wish them
to carry with them the assurance that you
love them and would cheer the discomforts
of being on a romping train or dancing
steamer, give them not great basket of
roses to be pitched overheard an hour
after or thrown out of the window shortly,
but have put up for them three or four
boxes of roses to take with them
on the journey. Have the boxes
air tight; tin boxes are the best with tight
fitting covers secured with strip Of glued
paper. Over the boxes put wrapping of
oil skin and tie the whole up tightly. The
flowers are now ready for use when
wanted. They will keep long, long time,
and when taken out will be perfectly fresh.
Roses ten days old were unlocked in San
FRANCISCO and q box of lilies made the trip
TO Paris. When exposed to the air they do
net keep their freshness very long, but the
fact that they came from home with the
love OF the giver recompenses and stones for
the fact that they are quickly perishable.
Young men are serving tea in place of the
young women. Each bachelor has in his
apartments a nice spirit kettle, and all the
accessories that make up charming little
cuisine. When lat home" the young man
bachelor does not, as of yore, invite some
lady friend to preside for him. but, on the
contrary he sits back of his own tea kettle
and orews tea for his own guests in an alto
gether glrlish way. He shows, with lady
IKE pride, the cups and saucers upon which
be himself has photographed "views" and
the faces of women whom he has admired,
and he spreads little dolly
upon little tray with pardonable
pride, pats it and rearranges it, explaining
llrlng the process that he made that dol
y himself and that he knew-positively
knew-that it would be spoiled in the laun-
drying. The cakes he bought, but he di-
rected their manufacture, and the little
basket in which they are served is decorated
by gorgeous bow tied by his own tapered
fingers. Truly the Rirlish young man is an
