MEAsUREp IN DOLLARS.
Some Folk Appreciate Wonders in
Proportion to Their Cost.


The art palace sometimes reveals curl
Gus studies of character. 1t was an
American pater familias, who, with his
wife and young hopeful, stopped before
the statue of American invention and
straightway took hold Of the opportunity
to instruct his child. THAT statue
there, my son +" he explained, "is worth
$4,000 Do you hear! Ten-thousand-
dollars"
Yes, dear" echoed mater familias,
"worth ten-thousand-doll just think
of it,"
"Ten-thousand-d dollars, - repeated the
youth, wonderingly, and gazing at the
white marble figure admiringly the trio
went of repeating, each in his and her
peculiar voice, "ten thousand dollars! ~
It was amusing to witness the pere-
CARNATIONS of this family. The whole
criticism attempted by the father was to
mention that this or that statue or paint
ing cost so much. This was said in a
tone calculated to wake every atom of
reverence in the boys body on behalf Of
the monetary value of the object and not
to initiate him as to its artistic merit.
Truly the educational advantages of the
fair are great, but it is doubtful if the
chief thing impressed on visitors is the
immense commercial value Of things,

Secretary Carlisle, says the Washing
ton Post, is becoming as proficient in the
role of letterwriter as champion pugi-
list negotiating for combat. Not day
passes but that several billet doux from
his versatile typewriter flow from the
dulcet voice of the Senate reading clerk.
Most of them are forwarded "by re-
quest" for the Senate, through its indi-
vidual members, wants TO know, We
know" about an unprecedented range of
topics touching the intricate workings of
our financial machinery, which have been
to the layman, until this passing session
Of education, a chaotic and unapproach-
able mystery.
Yesterday Senator PETER was the re-
cipient of missive from the treasury de-
partment, two of them from the same
ready pen were read in the House, and
Senator Voorhees, was among the favored.
While these communications handle ten
place figures, with the easy familiarity of
the astronomical gentlemen at the Cosmos
club band wing logarithms to while away
a summer night, suspicion is spreading
abroad that Mr.. Carlisle is not their sole
author. A part of the responsibility un-
doubtedly rests with some of the old pill
lars of the department who have fed on
the bullion values, seignorage, and
fluctuations since those days when An
drew Jackson gave ground for the tradi-
ton that 10 Law in the line of a Presidents

from Africa that the captured monkeys
whom he was interviewing there were in
need of playthings TO assist them In in
telligence and speech. He further limited
that boxes contaiuingrattles and balls and
such small toys would be very acceptable,
and their preparation would be gracious
and graceful act, of the BOstoDese. The
notion Of the feminine Athenians gravely
getting up pastime for the monkey tribe
seems ludicrous enough.
What makes girl popular in society,
says the New York Tribune, is u very IL
lusive question, and yet it is one that
most maidens would be glad to have an
swered. Popularity, like success, is a
very incomprehensive quality. One girl
may be very pretty, fairly agreeable, OF
superior social standing and undeniably
accomplished, and yet fail to attract and
another without half her advantages is a
decided favorite, and is sure to have a
good time" wherever she goes. Self
consciousness is great obstacle to sue
cess the girl who is continually thinking
Of herself is handicapped at the outset.
A frank, happy young woman, with no
nonsense about her." showing her enjoy
ment in her face, establishes at once a
magnetic current with those around her
who cannot help feeling sympathetic
pleasure in her enjoyment. Cordial man
ners have also great deal TO do with the
making of a favorite, a bright, pleasant
greeting that expresses 81 am glad TO see
you" attracts ct once.
Straying attention is very great
damper to social intercourse; if a man is
talking to a girl, and he finds that she
only half hears what he says, smiling
vaguely in conventional fashion, he
feels bored at once. "Nine-tenths of the
girls one talks to at q dance are com
pletely self-absorbed, - said a man who
had been discussing this very question:
land it is that that makes them so unin-
teresting. You can see plainly that they
are distract thinking Of their hair, their
gown, Of possible partners, of an escort to
supper, of partner for the german.
Their smiles are mechanical and mean
ingless, their answers insane. No one can
realize the relief it is to turn from a
girl Of this type and find happy
young creature enjoying herself to her
very bent in the eXuberance of her youth,
her own personality quite forgotten, each
of her partners feeling fiattered that she
evidently liked his society, and that he
has contributed to her pleasure Such a
girl, be she plain or pretty, never lacks
partners, and rarely If ever has a stupid
time anywhere: and when one comes to
think of partner for life, who would not
rather choose this sunshiny creature Z Il
Of kindliness and good spirits than Lhe
greatest beauty going who is absorbed in
herself and her own PROJECTIONS ]"

An English journal, the Gentlewoman,
is generous enough to say this
1.-THE usual cry reaches US from across
the other side of the Channel English
women who can dress smartly enough at
home are wearing out their old clothes,
and worse than that, allowing themselves
to look absolutely untidy, at continental
watering places. At railway stations
they appear gloveless, with hats and
wells away, and their boots old and dusty.
Never does it so behoove a woman to look
neat as when travelling, and more par
ticularly en- evidence. An American can
be spotted in a moment, whether in q
railway carriage or on board steamer.
As a rule she eschews the sailor hat
when en- voyage. Instead, she wears a
trim ''boatn shape of waterproof felt,
with waterproof ribbons, and bristling
with wings stuck in by cunning hand.
Her gauze veil is always fresh and i'm
maculate, her gloves easy fitting, but
well cut and newly bought. Her skirt
never draggles No buttons are of her
boots. Would that Englishwomen would
follow our American cousins example in
this"
Very few men, says they New York
Tribune, treat their womenkind openly
and frankly in regard to money matters,
be apparently willing that the scale Of
his household expenses should be con-
Quoted on the most lavish basis, paying
the monthly bills without murmur, and
vet apparently grudging every dollar that
he hands over to his wife and daughters.
II is a curious Inconsistency, and one that
causes not a little ill-feeling and sense OF
injustice on the part of woman who can
not understand why the head OF the house
IN lfa1a
and so close. or why ten dollars more or
less Oh bill is not even considered, aud
the actual money in hand is so hard TO
obtain. 1t is very trying for sensitive
woman to have to ask for every cent for
her personal expenses, and a man of any
generosity should appreciate the situa-
ton. and give to his wife regular allow
ance in accordance with his means and
other expenditures. In England this is
considered in the settlements, and,
as a rule, the brides relatives see
that she is guaranteed enough for her
personal expenses. In this country such
an arrangement is seldom, if ever, thought
of, and the bride puts herself and her fu-
ture with unquestioning faith into the
mans power. To the honor Of American
manhood be it said that our men are of
all men the most generous; but IL is not
always pleasant even for q loving wife to
be absolutely dependent, however liberal
her husband may be, and the sense of
money begrudged" is absolute torture To
most women. II taken in 10 other light,
the housewife fairly earns a salary. To
oversee a house, large or small. TO provide
for the welfare Of the family, and to per
form all the multifarious duties that such
a position involves actually deserves a
large financial recompense, and woman
should have it recorded to her as her
right. not doled out to her as a favor.

York Press told Boston woman lately

Mrs. Lyman Abbott in the September

her at once the inspiration and the reli-

"It was a fern parlor, created by a
society woman solely foruse in the heated
months. Her husbands affairs kept him
in the city until late in the summer, and
she will not go to the seashore until he
can accompany her. So she has exerted
her genius to give their abode as charm
ing and refreshing an aspect as possible.
I'm this exquisite parlor the carpet
pattern is long green fern tronds on a
white background, the wall paper is in
fern design in white, green and silver,
and she had filmy lace curtains of fern
pattern also made to her order some
where abroad. The furniture is wicker
and bamboo, finished in white enamel,
and scores of white and green silk cushions
lie all about.
"The hostess has three marble beauties
in this lovely rOOm-a Venus, which
stands in the coolest, darkest corner; a
bust of Narcissus placed before mirror,
and which she surrounds with fresh lilies
while thew are to be had, and an ethereal
recumbent Cupid, which lies along the
mantel shelf. All the pictures are of
summer subjects-woodland pools, the
summer sea and soft twilight scenes.

A young Frenchwoman of title, says
the New York World, who was at HON.
burg lately on her honeymoon Journey
wore at private dance there a most fas-
cinating gown. It was made of soft am
ber-colored silk muslin, the deep founce
of the skirt reaching to the knee, and
trimmed with graduated rows of real
lace insertion. The bodice and big
sleeves were trimmed with the same lace
insertion and with bewitching rosettes of
white bebe ribbon. An odd and beauti-
full thing about this toilet was a bonnet
composed of real white roses matching q
great cluster which the marquise wore
at her jeweled belt. 1t was extremely
becoming, the roses remaining surpris-
ingly fresh. This real rose bonnet came
from a celebrated milliner's at Frankfort.
by special messenger just be-
fore the dance began. 1t
cost about 316. A doucet gown lately
seen at Homburg was very chic over a
gown of black satin, made quite plain,
was worn q complete dress of fine Chan
lilly net, with pin spots ia white. a gir-
die of "fsh-scale' iridescent sequins sur
rounded the waist, and a 2-inch fringe
of the same lovely trimming was laid on
a % n
every movement the gown cleaned and
sparkled, but with demure and refined
sparkle. A little butterfly bonnet of
white lace, with a black osprey standing
up between its wings, completed the cos
tune.
A charming young girl from the south
came, says the New York Times, alone
and moneyless, 10 a big northern city to
study art. See was not wholly friendless,
however, and she had wit enough to fol-
low the practical advice of one Of her
friends who babe her borrow of herself
rather than of others, further suggesting
that she earn the needed money by en-
listing in the best paying profession
known-thouse service The girl applied
at the domestic service bureau Of the big
city's woman's exchange, and thus Sc
cured a place at general homework. She
worked hard and faithfully, was not
"afraid Of anything, knowing that her
fingers would be no less skillful with the
brush for having been well seasoned in
active work. Neither was she at any ex-
pense for board and lodging, and before
many months she had saved sufficient
money ont of her wages to start upon her
art career. All of which is no fairy tale,
but chapter from the life of a genuinely
determined young woman who may be re-
lied upon to get on under whatever cir
cumstances or conditions.
