large assemblies. In time she will be
asked to luncheOns Then she will give
one, and in a little longer time she will
be
ASKED TO DINNERS,
and that will mean that she has accom-
plished what she has wished, and mas
got there. "There" representing what
she suppoSes is the land Of delight.
Many social climbers make the mis-
take OF being satisfied with the visits
Of the men of family. and this usually
means that they neVor get acquainted
with the women. My little Western
lady is wise. She adopting what is
vulgarly known as the domestic
dodge" is ready TO take much advice
10 regard to her little people from elder
ly danes, and is Mortified at the young
married women who take away the
bachelors from the single girls. Mothers
| feel that they need not fear her. What
she will do when she is in 10 is i'm posi-
BILE to say. but have an idea that once
accepted, she will be less domestic and
more firtatious, less pleasing and more
/. positive.
SMALL CHANCES FOR NEW WORKERS
A New York woman says that any WO-
man who was not born or raised 10 New
York can get into any set she desires.
When il is realized that, from the In
Vulnerable women who have what is
known as "the gossip OF Information, "
ADD can tell on what unbelievable
streets the climber Unopened 10 be born,
how she was willing al one time to 90
TO public dances, and who her relations
are. her chances are very slight. To
my wav of thinking, the cleverest thing
Du Maurier wrote about
MRS. PoNsoNBY DE ToMKYNs
was this After many invitations and
much tosdying, the Duchess had called
at Mr.. Tomkyns. To the horror OF the
hostess, her husbands aunt, an old
Scotch woman, married 10 the game
keeper on the Ducbess's estate 10 Scot
land, appears a. the same time. Mrs.
de Tomkyns instantly feels that, social
". she is ruined inasmuch as the con-
yersation between the two Is varied and
extensive. When the Duchess is In her
carriage again with Lady Alicia, she
saws: Dear me, | hae no idea the
Ponsonby de Tomkyns had such respec-
table relations. A nice old woman, the
wife Of my gamekeeper, was there. II
does make one feel more comfortable
to know that they have decent kin"
Decent kin, however, is not particular
" appreciated among Americans. An
other social elm Der is pretty woman
who has house, that, il il were In
Florence, would be called palace.
She is, fear me, not iated to get where
she wishes. Just now the newspapers
have
LONG ARTICLES ABOUT HER.
Her petticoats and her frocks, her SLIP
oers and her bath tub; the pictures she
owns and her horses are all described.
Nobody mentions her husband. He has
decent kin, but there was time which
is not referred to in society, spent by
him 10 the penitentiary. During these
wears devoted wife visited him when
ever she could, saved all the money pos
sfbie 10 buy Injuries for him. aud n re-
turn for this he left her, and in State
where divorces may be gotten as easily
as a postage stamp, obtained one from
