SERVANTS OF OLD SCHOOL
One good thing in Neapolitan life is
that it tries very little the pride of the
master toward his servant The Ital-
ian servant taken all in all. when he
is good, is more friend than anything
else. This kind of servant is lost in
the rest of Europe, even in old France,
where the species survived longer than
anywhere else. To recall to French
people what was the typical servant OF
the old school the Coincide Franchise
plays from time to time Nine. De Cir
ardin'S charming comedy, La Joic
Fait Peur." In Italy the prototype of
old Noel, the old servant OF the French
play. is met continually. In him one
finds that same real Interest in the
family he serves, that same gentle and
respectful familiarity. These traits
may be somewhat modified in the Ital-
ian servant, for the cOmpleXity of his
race makes him a more complicated be-
ing than the French servant has been
since Molliere's time.
In Naples today, more so than any
where in Italy. menials. whether de-
scended from the Wallets of the old
Italian comedies or not, are more at
tached to their employers and more
sincerely DESTROYS of pleasing them
than the retainers who serve under

Will Not Lay Up Money for the Sec
ond Wife.
Mrs S. Quincy Lapham, of Syracuse.
may be credited with the best of in
tentions in advising women to go into
life insurance as a business but she
evidently OverlOoks the fact that it has
been tried in New York city with un-
satisfactory results
Mrs. Lapham said at a meeting of
the Emma Willard Alumnae associa-
ion the other day that it was a good
business for women. She read a paper
1n Life Insurance for Women" and
made her point Heatly-on paper She
said that the best informed woman
inds life insurance the safest and most
profitable investment yet devised, and
the only one that can guarantee it's
future value.
This has struck other women, but,
unfortunately, women do not care to
insure their lives. Two energetic wO-
men embarked in the insurance bust
ness here about year ago. They rent
ed and furnished a handsome office.
and were prepared to do any business
in the insurance way that might come.
One partner stayed in the office to re-
ceive money and visitors, while the
other went about the city and can
Vassed. The outside partner met with
diScOura gements everywhere and the
inside woman had nothing to do. So,
after keeping it up for several months,
they were obliged to confess that they
had made a mistake.
The many objections of women to
life insurance surprised them. They
found that most married women had
an insuperable objection to insurirg
their lives, becaused they feared that
a second wife" would reap the bene-
fit. Single women said that they had
no one to give money to. and they
wanted all that they had, anyhow,
without spending it in life insurance.
There seemed to be nothing in life in
surance for women, judging by the eX-
perience of these two women who tried
to establish themselves in the bust
ness. sf~-
Don't talk to me about women in
suring,' remarked one of them. "Wo-
men won't have it. They cannot see
it. and no one can make them see it.

together, and have taken up news

but for the dressing of his hair. The
shop of the "parruchiere"-m the
old word, which means the wig dress
er'-repeats itself at every turn you
take in the street, for dependence on
the barber runs down the whole social
scale and is by no means an aristo-
cratic prerogative. The women are as
helpless as the men.
The work girl who has to go to her
shop early receives daily at home the
morning visit Of the 'parruchiere," who
makes up anew her rumpled head dress
perhaps a la BOtticelli-after a Paris
ian fashion print, but more generally
in the native fashion. This Neapoli-
tan work girl, as an antithesis to what
we were saying about the poverty OF
the country. begins her day rather lux
uriously. Independent Of the ''parru-
Chiere's' visit, she receives two others
before she goes to her work. One is
from the coffee man." who for two
cents pours her out a cup of the piping
hot liquid from his portable urn; the
other from the sausage man, who also
Tor two cents supplies her with the
solid part of her breakfast-a sausage
between two slices Of bread. So the
poorest Neapolitan work girl is combed

So roast pig it was. and this is the way it
was cooked:
After the pig came home from the butchers
1t was put in a tub OF cold fresh water TO
soak over night. In the morning the water
was changed and it was left in it until It was
time to roast it; then the outside was Wiped
dry and the inside well rubbed with sage
cayenne pepper and salt, mixed together
Then it was stuffed with dressing made of
bread crumbs, salt pork chopped fine pepper
salt, sage, sweet marjoram. an egg and q pat
or butter. The pig was then placed on a rack
in the dripping pan-with it's feet turned
under with some water In which were sprigs
Of sage and marjoram tied in a muslin The
skin was kept well Toured until the roast was
half-done. Then Mr.. Pig was taken out. the
flour wiped Of. then he was returned to the
oven and basted again until done. A large
paint brush, dipped in salad OIL was used
for the basting, the oil, it is claimed giving
more crispness to the skin, as we'll as better
color, than either butter or drippings
After the roasting over the small porker
was served with apple in its mouth and
dished up with slices of fried apple and
parsley as a garnlsh.

next House. The record Was fresh, and
stin foul. The President and the Secretary
Of the Trust stood indicted for refusing to
testify in the Investigation Of the matter
which the Senate had conducted. and jail
sentences confronted them. Yet this did
not restrain the Trust from reaching cut
its srasping hand again, and seeking to
control this Senate to its shame as 1t Gid

this has occurred In this country since the

more people in the past two months about
offices than the President himself. The

his cwn oi!ice. He has been able to pre-

And yet there are men-some of them
