he asks that he be her special protege in a
social sense. Sometimes he compromises
her, but just as often he doesn't. and funnily
enough she is honest and square in her
money dealings with him. Sometimes her
husband knows and laughs; sometimes he
doesn't know.

Next TO this type Of woman, among the
women of finance, comes the one who puts
her money on the horse races She doesn't
go to them; she doesn't care q straw TO see
the race or the beauty Of the horses but she
sends her money by messenger boy to q
pool room. Her tricks are many; some
times she Will plunge on horse about
which she has dreamed again she will take
a race in which there are no favorites, put
a dollar on each horse, aud possibly catch
an 80 to winner When the races are not
on hand sho plays poker with women; not
for the pleasure OF the game, but TO make
money. She Is offensive in every way, es-
peciallY to women who play cards because
they like the science of the game, not be-
cause they are eager to gobble in everybody
elses chips. Frequently this type Of woman
overreaches herself, and then the woman of
tnesse is delighted.
l heard a funny little story about womnn
who had the financial fever, and who, curl.
little children. The little tots hated her.
One Of them especially dsspislng her and
adoring the father. They knew exactly
when mamma had had q lucky day by her
treatment Of her maid, and nothing could
induce the younger one to 90 near her at
any time. Occasionally this woman would
feel that decency obliged her to see her
children; and once the youngest heard her
coming in the direction Of the nursery, at
the time when the baby was sitting on her
fathers lap, and she said
"QUICK, ANGEL, KISS ME
before the devil comesw This ia my moral
TO the story Of the woman Of finance.
Talking about different types OF women
always suggests society itself; and I res
member how ] laughed once at q man say
ing history could not discuss society. You
might know that a man said that; woman
would have better sense. She knows there
was no history until society existed, and
that that history only grew interesting
when there were more than two people.
That is, when the serpent appeared. Before
that time Adam and Eve undoubtedly en-
joyed seeing things sprout. and looking at
the animals; but history began with an APP
pearance of a third party; ii gave Adam an
opportunity to
DISCUSS EWES MORALITY
and gave Eve O chance to dIlate on Adams
rather mean cowardice. Adam felt that he
was talking to an amusing chap, aud he
told him his experience with women Il say
women, allowing that the story about Lilith
was true, while Adam could listen to all
the clever epigrams and amusing remarks
of the versatile snake. IL lie all bother you
know, about history not oondesosnding to
society. One would "a great deal rather
know that a great man took his chocolate
in bed than who he gave his
vote for. and it is immensely more
interesting to hear whether a great
beauty wore silk pettieoats, or whether she
curled her hair on papers or with tongs,
than her opinion of hereafter. The his
tories that really interest and educate are
those that tell of the manners OF people,
their mode of living, and the mistakes they
make. Then the great politician seems
human, the great beauty seems feminine
and near to us, and all the powers that were
are living, breathing blessings to US. This
sounds very moral, doesn't it7 But then
you never know when things are going to
turn out songs or sermons. 1t is all ques-
ton of luck.
LUCK Is so FUNNY.
Funny thing, luck is.
You think some fellow Is lucky when he
has made a deal of money, and doesn't seem
co have TO bother himself-he may have had
the good luck. but he backed it with hard
work.
You think q woman is lucky when she
has got a good kind, true husband-she
may have had the luck 70 gee him, but she
backed ID up with love, consideration and
tenderness TO keep him.
You think horse is lucky when Ii has
wor. q great race and q big purte-it may
have had the luck to be well bred but il
had to be trained well and ridden by a first
class jockey to back this luck
You think man IS lucky when he holds
four kings in game OF poker--he may
have been wise, however, and not thrown
away his dollars when ne didn't hold the
cards. aud 80 had them as a hacker when
the luck came.
My friends, luck and pluck always go to-
gether, and their hacker is perseverance,.
What you count good luck may be nothing.
W hat l count good luck is TO have your ap-
prevail And | back my luck by always
trying to do the best ] can. Don't you APP
