A new method Of obtaining charities,
says the New York Sun comes direct from
France, and is said to have originated with
no less person than Alexander Dumas fills.
1t is likely to become quite fad here also.
1t consists Of every person who accepts a
dinner or luncheon invitation giving a
small sum, usually quarter of dollar, for
| the hostess poor box All hostesses have
poor boxes in Lent, and it gives a Lenten
flavor and u raison etre for any social func-
ton during the peDltential season. After
all, why should not these who are invited to
luxurious banquet which they get for moth
ing pay a trife for such as are without food,
and provide these poor people with a meals
No one is permitted to give more
than % cents to avoid an
invidioug comparison between the
parade of generosity on the part Of the
wealthy and the smaller contributions of
those less happily cIrcumstanced. This plan
also commends itself to those who are not in
a position to reciprocate in the matter of
hospitality, who are thus relieved in part of
the sense OF obligation for continually ac~
cepted favors of this kind. A pretty super
stitlon is said to attend this peculiar form of
almsgiving; it is that good digestion will
wait on appetite. and health on both, and,
therefore, this money has been named "di-
gestion money" IL is sure TO be popular
with hostesses at all times who have pet
charities, but most particularly so during
this and future Lenten periods.
Dear girl. if you are pretty don't fret

There is a lot of stuff talked about, lucky
and unlucky. Is it unlucky to walk under
ladders OF course it is paint buckets and

it lucky to have a horseshoe nailed over
your door! To be sure. II it is nailed it's
lucky for it don't fall down. Is it lucky to
find a cast horseshoel Yes, if your horse
cast il. Is it unlucky to wear an opals
That's because the opal is porous stone
and sensitive to atmospheric changes. 1t
expands and contracts, and is likely to

letter, you change for the worse and not for

there when you see one And SO on, and 30

won't catch her by any of the popular
snares.
zone of the signs Of the age" says an
observing woman in the New York Times,
lis the difficulty grown daughters find in
adapting their ideas to the intolerance Of
the mothers who will not share in the prog
ress about them. This is especially true
where the daughters do not marry early,
and either remain at home or go out TO pur-
sue some one of the many occupations now
| open to women. In either OF the latter
| cases the home cords are not much loosened
not nearly so much as when the daughter
establishes herself by marriage in an inde-
pendent household.
'The gap between the mother educated
twenty-five years ago and the daughter
abreast Of these glowing times is wider than
| it ever will be again, and it is q trying one
| to the filial child, whose widening reach Of
things only increases her sense of what is
due 10 her mother and eagerness to bring
the well-loved parent within the scope of the
falling blessings. To many women mother
hood brings an autocracy that is never
wholly relinquished for years her lightest
wish has been the daughters law, and, If
what Thackerey calls the tyranny Of pa
rents is modified in many instances, in
equally as many others it painfully exists.
