THE TRIALS OF POVERTY.

Impecunious girls who wish to shine in
society are not always to be envied for they
are frequently compelled to appear at
disadvantage. There are some, however,
who have the art of making a very little
money 20 along way toward supplying
their needs in the way Of dress. One of
these martyrs to fashion confesses to many
makeshifts. GAS long as keep up with
the rest, Z" she confesses, cit does not in the
least matter but if I should say that l
must give up going to this or that function
because l had no clothes, | should be
dropped, that is all, not because of my
clothes, but because OF my absence. But if
girl accepts the situation, and cleans up
her two pairs of evening gloves alternately,
good time in spite of everything, people are
very kind, and it really does not make a
bit of difference.
"The great thing is, as l say. to go all
the same, without one false shame about
what cannot be helped. Another thing |
find " she continued, phlosophically, sis
that if | wait long enough for anything l
no longer need it. Last summer for in
stance ] wanted couple of new organdies
and another hat, quite awfully but Icould
not squeeze out the money from father, so
each week found | could manage some
! how, and so it went on until a cold August
storm made me realize that summer was on
| the wane, and that really did not want
the dresses. This winter | am trying the
same thing with a muchneeded new JACKIE t..
| am in hopes, if | wear my old one long
enough, that my longing for new one will
have exhausted itself. Sometimes my en-
forced makeshifts are very funny or, at
least they would be funny, if they were
not so very tragic.
"One day when wanted to 90 to ball
| found my only pair of white slippers were
not only quite black hut they were so rub
bed at the toes that it was impossible to
clean them any longer, so did what | had
done before in an emergency. | covered
them myself with white satin, stitched
down the edges very neately and covered
up deficiencies with bow. At distance
they passed muster fairly well, but
certainly did not desire to have them ex-
amined, and resolved to try to remember to
keep my feet well under the hem of my
gown. To my dismay, the first figure in
the cotillion was one where a sheet is held
up at one end of the room, and the women
who are in the figure must stand behind il
with their feet peeping out below the sheet
for the men to guess from. Well, you can
fancy was in agony, but there was nc
help for it, and my home-covered slippers
were eXposed with the rest. There was q
moments discussion, and laughter among
the men, and then the sheet was dropped,
and | saw Jack B. standing before me,
looking very quizzical.
81 suffered agonies at the time, but | dc
not care now, for we are engaged to be
married, and he says shall have all the

The ROBINS FUNERAL.

Take him gently, lay him low
Where the pale primroses blow.
By and by will come the SHOW
But to-day the green things grow.
Make his grave.
He will hear no sounds of Spring,
Fairy blossom bells that ring,
Streams that murmur, birds that sing,
For he knows not anything.
Make his grave.
Happy in the happy May,
Wooing with his roundelay,
His brown mate but yesterday,
Blithe he sang-ah, none so gay
Make his grave.
Spring without him comes and goes,
And the royal summer grows
Glad with lily and with rose;
Autumn ripens, winter SHOWS
Round his grave.

oner. The case fell fiat. few wit

port In February, 1896, on the day the
bank robbery occurred. Young Carey's
father lives near Shreveport, and close
by lives a young woman to whom Ca

The pretty fashion Of making holi,

taken. like many pleasant festivals,
frc.n the German. There is an ancient
superstition that each month is con
trolled by a jewel, and that the per-
son born under the influence of this
gem must wear 1t continually as a
charm. The English devote flower
to each month of the year, and this is
the birth flower of the individual born
In the month. The old astrologers con
sldered that the sign Of the zodiac un-
der which an individual was born con-
trolled his fortunes. All the super
stitions recall the old childish simple
ity Of belief Of those picturesque days
when fairies danced In rings and every
grove and fountain had its guardian
spirit. 1t is pretty fashion to revive
them In the celebration of birthday.
The gift of ring or some other orna-
mert with the jewel associated with
the birth month of the recipient is a
favorite present for birthday. The
flower Of the month Is an appropriate
one to use in decorating the birthday
cake or the parlors where the birth
day party is given. A gift of pair
of sleeve buttons or pin In the form
of the sign of the zodiac under which
the recipient was born is an appro-
pirate birthday gift. The list is pub

In February, 1896. the only bank in
the town OF Warren was robbed. The

Warren is a country town OF about
