Southern Insurance Mon.
Q. G. LANGsroN,
Secretary.

On April 28th, at Southern Pines,
N. O., will be hold a meeting Of
Southern insurance mon, with the
view of solving the problcm of how
to keep Southern insurance money
in the South. A conservative esti
mate of the amount of money taken
out Of this section annually to fill
the Golfers of Northern insurance
companies is placed at $25,00O,O00.
This money should remain and seok

or money that would como in. The
rate of interest hero is certainly moro
profitsble than in the North
On this limo tho Savanna Morning
News says:
"The movement to have the
Southern people insure in Southern
companies is good one. All tho
business which tho South can do
with hor own people ought to DO
done with them. Tho South will bo
slow in getting rich if she sends all
of her surplus earning to Now York
and New England.
Gall tho great guarantee compa-
MES and nearly all the firms which
deal i'll stocks and cotton futures are
in the North. These institutions
tako away frcn the South many mil
lions Of dollars every yoar. There
is no good reason why such institu-
tions should not be established in the
South, 80 that their earnings would
be invested in the South.
"Tho reason why tho rate Of in
forest is SO much lower in Now York
and New England than in the South
is chifly because tho bulk of tho cur
rency accumulates there, however
many banks we might have or what
over monetary system might be
adopted, SO long as the North does
all our life and fire insurance busi-
ness, has all the guarantee compa-
MES, and does all the trading in
stocks and cotton futures.
"What we must do is this: We
must support home institutions. The
millions Of dollars we send North
every year must be kept in tho South
and invested in Southern enterprises.
1t is for our ablest mon to say how
; this condition of affairs is to be
brought about. It must bo brought
about however, or we shall
remain poor and continue to com
plain oftho scarcity of mony while
the North will borich and have more
: money than she knows what to do
with"

March has brought with It the question:
How will the summer girl of 81 differ from
the summer girl of SO and her long line
of predecessors?
Much and little!
Little because as of yore she Will be
armed with the same battery of charms
-her small coqueteries, her prediction
for dancing, her love of surf-bathng, If
she have a pretty figure her passion for
bicycling; her wild desire TO become sun
burnt, and then her equally wild desire to
get rid of 1t; in short, she will be the same
and not the same for fortunately, age
cannot wlther her--the genus here Is
meant not the lndividual-nor custom
stale the infinite variety of her CHAINS!
Outwardly however, the summer girl
Of 81 will differ materially from her pro-
totype of '96. First of all, she will no
longer be an exact reproduction of that
creation so dear to American hearts the
Gibson girl; no longer win her hair wave
softly back from her clean, clear part,
hiding her pretty ears. Instead II will
be a stately arrangement la pompadour,
and, though we will miss the curling love
locks on the brow, the added dignity of
the maiden will compensate us for that
loss

A Human Soul
wise man walked by the river.
And the water spirits sigh
AS she yearned for soul, it moved him,
And he answered thus her cry:
"Can you smile when your heart is aeh-
Remember when others forget?
Laugh lightly, when hope is taking
Its final farewell of you; yet
Meet the world, and strive on to the end
ing
OF life, be it ever so dread;
Firm in faith, with falter, unbending,
With never sigh or a tear?'
"All this can do said She
can you face your life if left lonely,
While another has gained his rest,
And you have the memory only
of one who was truest and best?
Forever to you the worlds brightness
Then passes away for aye;
Can pierce through that darkest day."
"All this can do" said she.
"Can YOU pause to do deeds of kindness
In the midst of your deepest woe?
For grief, it must not bring blindness
To trials of others below
You must ever strive on, and your SORROW
Though heavy and sore TO bear,
Remains till the dawn of that morrow,
When pain II is no more there"
"All this 1 can do" said she.
Made answer the wise man slowly:
''If this can be so, and thou
Canst bear grief, yet help the sunerlng'
Thou hast a soul even now"

1t was about twenty years ago, says the
American Woman's Home Journal, that
the bang first made its appearance. 1t
ran the whole gamut of styles, chang
ing each year into some new shape or
fashion, but always the bang. Once girls
cut their hair not only around the entire
face from ear to ear, in the front but
also cut a corresponding fringe across the
back of the neck. A girls hair was most
ly bang at this era of the style. There
were baby" bangs and Langtry bangs
and Russian bangs. 1t was, in fact, an
era of bangs.
All this time Gibson, the artist had been
drawing girls without bangs and putting
them in his pictures with a magnificent
disregard for the prevailing fashion. The
young women who grew under his pencil
mad broad, low brows, from which the
hair was drawn softly away from part
ing, and rolled in a ripping coil over the
ears and taken back to a simple knot mid
way between the neck and the top of the
head
About three years ago the influence of
the Gibson girl began to be felt among
hairdressers and French maids. They
waved the hair in the back and dressed
it high and low as of yore, but one re-
quest became general-that the hair be
parted and drawn back over the ears
without curls upon the forehead.
Mr. Gibson has added TO the beauty OF
the American girl by causing her to dis
card one of the most ugly styles that
ever marred her good looks. He is an un-
conscious benefactor, for when 1 saw
him the other day and asked him about
it, he said that he had no intention of be-
ing reformer.
"It is true that have been accused of
removing the bang from the forehead
of the American girl through my draw
ings. but if this is so 1t was an entirely
accidental reform so far as am concern
ed
"When / first drew the girl with hair
plainly parted and drawn back loosely
over the ears, did so without any idea
of changing the prevailing fashion. 1t
was simply, because l thought 1t more
graceful.
For the severe Bostonese type of girl
the plainly dressed hair is somewhat try
ing. Still, there is a certain dignity in
the simple arrangement which is impaired
to any face. young girls face looks
much better with the un-elaborate fash
ion"

The old adage, says the Philadelphia
Times that "a woman can throw out Of
the window with teaspoon more than
man can bring in on shovel" contains
more truth than poetry. large income
can be wasted with surprising celebrity
by the continuance of little leaks that
seem too insignificant TO be noticed in
dividually. Many woman is ignorantly
a participant in rearing and protecting
these little foxes that spoil the household
vine. A partial list of some of these lit
tie wastes is:
Wearing rubbers over new shoes, there
| by making the leather dry and hard and
easily cracked.
Pieces of lace and ribbon thrown away.
Making the sewing woman wait in the
house idle or doing fancy work because
you have neglected to get materials be-
fore her arrival.
Buying articles because they are cheap,
and will come in some time.
Allowing whalebones to wear through
the waist, thereby running an elegant
down.
Wearing the same clothing each week
as 1t comes from the wash.
Leaving a silk umbrella in case, there
by causing IL to split in the folds.
Turning skirts wrong side out when
hanging them up.
Placing brushes with the bristles
side up.
Failing to sew glove buttons on before
wearing, or mending them before clean
ing.
Sweeping the house in the usual morn
ing dress with head uncovered.
Pieces of cake and bread allowed TO

The question of how the rich should
spend their money, and the effect of
elaborate expenditure on the minds of the
poor, says the New York Tribune, has
been one of the most widely discussed
topics of late in social ethics.
1t seems rather a contradiction that
such discussion should arise in a land of
freedom and equal chances, where the plu-
tocracy consists either of self-made men
or their immediate descendants. That
a man has a right to do what he pleases
with his own goes without saying-it
would be infringing on the rights of per-
sonal liberty to say otherwise
AS far as the next criticism is concern
ed the effect of luxurious living on the
minds of the poor 1t is not the latter that
feel "envy, malice and uncharitableness."
toward the rich. They are not nearly as
bitter as the would-be fashionables, the
social climbers, or their friends, who re-
sent an expenditure which they fain would
initiate if they could. l3f
What the deserving poor want is work.
If they can get enough Of that to obtain
the necessaries of life, they will envy no
one. If rich people would reduce their
way of living to a Spartan simplicity there
would be far more misery and want than
there is now.
What the rich should do is to spend, and
spend literally, but in way TO benefit
their own country people. American tai
ent should be brought to the fore, Amer
lean manufactures patronized and Amer
lean workmen and workwomen given en-
ployment. But as far as jewels, fine RAD
ment and entertainments are concerned
they do not make the wearer ana donor
hated by the poor in Mulberry street half
as much as those who are "out Of it" on
Murray Hill.

the sailors say, as If she had hauled in

attractive on that account; perhaps, In
deed, more to the lover of the human

of her silken skirts be quite so pronounced
as formerly but there need be no fear,
for all that, that the summer girl Will
steal upon us unawares far from 1t, as
her chatelaine with it's pendant toys Will

assuredly be properly heralded, for the

1t is curious how confined are the topics
discussed by women. AS a rule, these
four really seem to comprise the entire
list. 1t is rather amusing to note the sub
jects of conversation by the fragments
overheard in passing and on public con-
Veyances. The area is certainly not ex-
tended. Dress leads the van-household

from young women. Diseases is an ex-

come in for large share, particularly in
fants.
