GOOD WORK OF RICH WOMEN
Some Whose Hands Are Ever
Open to Charity.
WEALTH THAT DOES HONOR
Mrs. Pierpont Morgan Dimes the
Working Girls-Miss Van
derbilt's Unique Parties.

With scarcely an exception, the girls
whose coming-out teas and frocks aud
daily doings are faihtfully chronicled are
women who devote almost as much time
and attention To their charities as they do
to their gowns.
For instance, Miss Gertrude Vanderbilt
celebrates her birthdays in most charming
fashion. She invites IA party OF girls be-
longing ITO the Friendly Society to spend
the afternoon with her. Luncheon is pro-
vided, spread forth as daintily with flow
ers and fruits as though the entertainment
were for the hostess intimate friends, and
each girl carries away as souvenir OF
the occasion a box OF bonbons and "A basket
OF flowers.
All the yanderbilts are extremely char
liable, and 1t is said to be the rule in Cor
nelius Vanderbilt's household that what
ever the cost of maintaining the establish
ment, the same amount in each Instance is
given to charity. The items are carefully
watched each mont h and IA similar amount
IL put to the account OF Others less blessed
with this worlds goods. Mrs. Wander
bilt used to have tile special supervision
of this unique account book, but within
the last year or two II has passed into
Miss Gertrude's keeping, and the task
that she has set herself is no sinecurc.
One can fancy row large these charita-
BILE donations must be from the fact, In
connection with one item alone, that the
number of servants is never less than thirty.
Every Monday morning for the last
year or two, Miss Alice Shepard, now Mrs.
David Hennen Morris, has spent the hours
from to 1 at the librarians desk, at
the Young woman's Christian Association.
Her duties for the time are to relieve the
