q LOT of rubbish as one gets when an
old chest of drawers is cleaned out
and this accumulation of nonsense
and trash was offered with an air OF
bride to a hard working woman Who
would have appreciated something SELL
sible. but who had absolutely no room
for such rubbish. | often wonder
what the good God thinks Of such
charity. Aud | often wonder what tie
people who give such things expect
the recipients to do with them. But
they keep on giving them, and me
people selected to receive these DOUBT
full blessings are obliged to take them
and to smile and behave exactly as Il
they had received something worth
having.
We used to think that London and
Paris We're far ahead of us in their
smart showing of carriages, but that
is no longer so. New York has got
TO be very correct as far as the stable
is concerned, and you know the swag-
ger set is largely inclined to be the
horsv set. 1t must be confessed that
the swell men either initiate their
grooms or permit their grooms to lmi-
tate them. Horsy gentlemen always
suggest gentlemanly manners to me-
Won know the kind The sort that
look we'll enough to ride for while
are then given TO the children TO
drive in a phaeton and eventually
end their lives in the service of a cab
stable OF course, there are women
who do not know what perfection IN
a carriage is. There is a woman who
always looks to me as II she might
saw that she hailed from Billyllle and
who is the daughter OF many times
rillionaire. and this one concludes
that as she can have any trap she
wants she will pay no attention 70 the
fact that certain laws, rules ana resu-
lations constitute carriage etiquette.
In the first place, she SITS on the
wrong side. A lady should always De
on the right of her carriage just pc
hind the coachman. In the second
MACE. this lady is given over to the
ianeling of chains, which is worse
stamp Of yulgarity than q eiaret lvery
with white collars and Guns anu Solu
braid. Then her carriage Is not as II
ought to be. Immaculate. one con-
cluGes that there is no capable body 10
order the stable people just how TO
keep it. while the footman LOOKS as
if he wanted rod applied 10 MN TO
make him sit up. A good footman
ought to look as if he had swallowed
a board which had attached itself %
his spinal column, and II there are
thousands Of accidents on the streeta
and hundreds of exciting eplsodes ne
ought to look perfectly lmpassive
and absolutely unmoved. When such
q footman is got he is treasure.
