wage earner's child and that of other
children. For myself was from my
earliest boyhood brought in contact
with poverty of the direst description.
The little boys and girls hardly knew
what Christmas meant. No presents
from uncles and aunts. No great,
hearty turkey dinners. No romping
and no games. Many little creature
had not the remotest idea of what the
day was observed for. Some even did
not know that it was Christmas at all.
They had no use for Christmas, poor
things. The ragged and hungry boys
and girls whose fethers work hard for
few paltry shillings are like little
savages in comparison with the chill
dren of the well to do. What can
Christmas mean to them? Yet to show
you what trades unionism has done,
you can visit the homes of English
workingmen to-day whom the move
ment has lifted up, and find rosy,
laughing Youngsters who have never
owned a shilling in their lives, God
bless them, yet who are merry and
healthy in their poverty. They are
the ones who go in for Christmas.
They have pretty much the same games
and pastimes that the boys and girls
here have. But in spite OF the better
conditions resulting from trades union
ism and the growth of the working
class movement there will be many q

WHAT MATRoNs DO. years, or at least
that portion of them which is in the
swim, can no longer boast their su-
periority to the fashionables of Gotham
in this respect. Even those New York
bellies who might be deemed least sus-
ceptible to the charms of learning have
private libraries in which they spend
many hours weekly. Mrs John Jacob
Astor, or as she invariably signs her
self, Ava Willing Astor, is conspicu-
ons example of this. French and Ital-
ian she understands thoroughly, and
is so fine a Petrarchian scholar as to
have won the appreciation of the late
Leconte de LIsle. Mrs. Astor, by the
way, understands French much better
than she does English, and for fully a
year after her marriage she spoke the
latter tongue with a French accent.
This was owing to her long residence in
Paris. Mrs. Astor always speaks French
to her little boy, who is growing rap
idly out of baby's clothes. She is also
quite painter, and decorates vases
beautifully, as do most of the society
matronS.
But it is in scientific research that
John Jacob Astor's wife begins now
to excel. She thoroughly under
stands the theory of electricity and
spends hours with her husband in the
laboratory of the Fifth avenue house
when the pair are in town. The pro-
tracted period of mourning into which
the youthful couple have been plunged
has allowed them ample leisure for
their scientific studies, and ii is hard
" overstating matters TO say that Mrs
Astor is rs enthusiastic as her husband
in scientific experiment. 1t has often
been declared, indeed. that the hus-
bands interest has been kept alive by
that of his wife.
In short, instances might be cited all
through the list OF ladies whom too
many Gothamites deem mere wasters
of time. Fashionable women in the
metropolis are not frivolous by any
means. In one respect, however, New
York is led by the women of London.

mems Christmases are very often any
thing but merry. And yet"
The thought that came to him must
have been a jolly one indeed, for he
laughed loud and long.
After ALL" said Burns. ''it takes
mighty little to make Christmas merry
Mores the pity it isn't merry for US
all. But usually an English wage
Garner is a cheerful creature and
laughs even at his misery. Christmas
is always nominal holiday-often a
real working day. 1t is not so bad
now. You know in my country the
rich take some interest in the condition
of the poor. They feel some response
bility towards them. The result is that
many noble-hearted man and woman
of wealth and position will toll night
and day to make the Christmas of a
working1nan happy one. But that
is charity, and an Englishman feels
that conditions should not make charity
necessary"
1.-The workingmen have special OBJ
servance of their own for the day?"
"Wel, they like a holiday now and
then, of course" answered Burns.
"Some Of the pious people complain
that we don't go to church enough on
Christmas. am afraid we don't think
much of the religious part of it. But
when there is money in the house,
there is always a good dinner-good
for a workingman, / mean. There are
jolly reunions of the comrades. The
socialists in London have lately gotten
into the way of holding excursions.
The wives and children are taken ont
into the country even in cold weather.
Everybody takes part in the games and
all are very jolly. But, oh! the sorrow
of the unemployed. Christmas finds
them without penny in the house to
buy loaf of bread. They have only
their comrades to look to. And their
comrades, am proud to say, do their
duty by them. The unemployed are
invited to dinner. | remember one
Christmas when a whole street went
hungry-not bite in the houses. How
can you talk of being merry under
such conditionsP"
Sometimes on Christmas there are
parades of the unemployed. The men
march to the music of improvised bands
and, bearing ironical placards upon
