She declares women are set OF parasites

to let him have a trial at the Broadway

the eye of experienced superiors.
For half a, day he got on very nicely,

The latest bit OF extravaganza, says
Demorests Magazine. perpetrated by the
host of a great yachting party that seq
out a few days since for a cruise in the
Mediterranean was the hiring OF an IN
divldual to keep the company amused

of the party knew that young Mr.. BLANK

than that of guest on the palatial little
steamer; nevertheless, he is paid a sal
airy, and a good one at that, with the
provisO that he furnish amusement
whenever the party appear in the least
likely to grow dun and bored.
Mr.. Blank being young, vivacious, anx-
ious to see Europe, and glad to earn
money, accepted the duties imposed, and
took on board with him Let Of musical
instruments, a wonderful sock Of jokes,
all the proper parapherualia for private
thearieals, and an amazing fund of high
spirits. He had a scheme OF entertain
ment mapped out for every day; he guar
anteed his conversation never to flag or
grow monotOnous, his stories never to be
repeated. and his good humor never to
be ruhled.
Mr.. Blanks nearest rival is a young
grirl bright pretty and ACCOMPLISHED who
last winter accepted salary to accompa-
ny a party on a private car through the
south and west. She drew the tidy little
wages of $50 a week and had all her ex-
Denses paid; but they say she earned her
money. for she kept the whole carload
of blase and rich folks in an amazing
good humor for the entire six weeks.
At the end of her trip she was snapped
up for a country house party, but at the
end Of that visit, like a wornout profess
sional nurse, she was Obliged to go home
and to bed for awhile. She had danced,

Americans find it harder every year to
originate amusements and keep them
selves up TO the required pitch of novelty
and excitement; but they are willing TO
pay some one to do it for them, and
new field for breadwinning is thus opened
to quick-witted men and women who
know just how to cater to this want.
There is a secret about the new garter
buckles. The girls absolutely refuse to
talk about them. To the casual observer
SAYS the New York Journal, they appear
like very innocent heart-shaped buckles,
mounted on elaborate silk elastic carriers,
half smothered in lace. But the girl who
wears one can tell you where the differ
ence lies between the ordinary heart
shaped garter buckle and the one she Is
now wearing If she only will.
The new garter buckle is the latest place
where she conceals her sweethearts pic
ture Whether the buckle is studded with
Jewels or merely a plain gold heart, it is
made with q hidden spring. When the
spring is touched the heart opens and re-
veals a tiny picture of him. The engaged
girl is sure to own one of these novel gar
ter buckles, and the girl who is not en-
ga ged wears one, too. With her, however,
the picture is ever changing. These gar
ter buckles come in gold and silver and
enamel.
The summer girl has a great variety Of
new garter buckles to select from this
