HOW MRS. SOUTHWORTH
 BEGAN HER CAREER.

P IN Sonoma County lives an in- teresting old lady of TO- who tells the following story of the manner o in which Mrs. E. D. E. N South
 worth, whose works, though not of the highest order, have perhaps en- joyed a wider circulation than those of almost any other American author first made her appearance before the public in literature.
 The family of Mrs. Southworth's hus- band were prominent people of the lit tie mining town of Plattville, Wis, which at the time of her marriage was but Territory, and where the narra- tor of the story then resided. The fam fly were also religiously inclined, and when the rumor went abroad that the wife of the favorite son and brother had been an actreSs-in those days re- garded by people of their class as a so- cial pariah-they not only declined re- ceiving her as one of the family. but even insisted that young Southworth should leave the village and not further disgrace them by Haunting in their very faces his devotion to his actress wife.
 He had friends, however, in the vil- lage who did not approve of the stand taken by his immediate family. and those friends, partly through good will to the young man, and partly through anticipated enjoyment of his pompous relatives discomfort, advanced money to start him In business in a small way. and this he invested in timers shop. to the horror and disgust of his people.

There are also many Roman novel ribbon effect Elaborately embroid- cred insteps are also much in fashion The sale of silk stockings has greatly fn- creased within the last year. Now even the bicycle stocking is silken affair, and has lost all its clumsiness.
 In the matter of gloves, the strictly tailor-made girl copies her brothers. But if she happens to be just bit frivolous she is sure to buy this spring the new gloves with the ieweled fastenings These gloves come in every color inl-' aginable- and have imitation jeweled studs, which are fastened together. by means of a fine silken cord The gloves in the different shades of tan, with violet stitching and bits of mock amethysts for the studs are unusually pretty. For dress occasions there are exquisite silvery gray gloves with turquoise studs and sil- yer stitching.

 A great many public men have their sons holding office under them at Wash ington, but most of these are poor men to whom the second government salary is an object. Senator Hanna's son is not one of these. He was trained to a boy will be a lawyer, like his father. Ex-Senator Henderson of Missouri had his son study law after he had com pleted the collegiate course at Harvard, and he is ready to earn living if nec- essary, though he has not gone into practice very actively yet.
 On the other hand, Senator Hale, who married the wealthy Miss Chandler, has had his oldest son, Chandler Hale, made secretary of legation at Rome; and as diplomacy Is not a profession with us. his can hardly be called a se- rious calling. Ex-Senator Brice did not bring his son up to business life, but the son has gone into politics in New York lately, and promises to be an ac- tive if not useful figure in life. His father began his career as a school teacher, and knows the value of labor. Z. General Russell A. Alger, Secretary of War, says 1t is a great misfortune for boy to have rich father who will not teach him to work.

 Having this sort of a general all- around man of work has lifted load of carking care from Miss Freeman s shoulders, who no longer has to go through the awful crisis of seeing her self and a person in cap and flying rib bons left in stations while trains pull out and porters gesticulate and the world turns generally upside down.

Although every now and then you hear though every now and then you hear some prophet of i'll declare that pres ent conditions tend to nurture gen. eration of wealthy idlers and pluto cratic non-producers, even a casual in vestigation of the matter emphatically dissipates the idea.
 I asked Chauncey M. Depew recently what he thought of the necessity of ed heating rich mems sons to business life.
 There is only one side to that ques- tion," said MT. Depew. Every man should educate his son to business or a profession, if he is fitted for either. There are cases where boy is not mentally equipped for business life. know a young man, the son of a wealthy father, who has been four years in the same class at school. I know another who has been in the hands of a private instructor for three rears and his tutor tells me he shows no mental grasp.

That son gave his boys the same kind of an education; but the fourth generation is going to college Toung Cornelius Vanderbilt graduated from Yale He is now taking a post graduate course in marine engineering there"
 Dr. George F. Shrady said to me a ew days ago: Do you know that only l5 per cent of the men who succeed in New York are to the manner born Eighty-five per cent are from smaller towns or from the country. These men come to the city with all the energy and vigor gained in outdoor life and with the determination to conquer for tune"
 Dr. Shrady does not consider this an .vidence that rich mems sons have not an equal chance to success if they have ambition, however, and he says that almost every rich man he knows IS bringing his sons up to work. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" said the son of a very rich man to his father. "Yes, and all play and 10 work makes Jack a blanked fool, said the father in reply, according to Dr. Shrady.

 The little town supported weekly paper, but the editor would never have dared offend such powerful patrons as the Southworths' relatives. He de- clined to publish 1t. A zealous friend to whom the effusion was shown liked it so much that on one of his trips to Illinois he offered it to another paper, and the article was gladly published.
 It so touched the public sense of hu- nor that it was copied far and near, and gave the indignant young wife a proper sense of her abilities. The ed- itor of the New York Ledger was so de- lighted with the skit that he promptly wrote to Mrs. Southworth and offered to pay her for story. So the young wife started on her career as an au- thoress.
 It is doubtful if any of the widely read stories which she penned in after years brought her 1eeling or greater satisfaction than this sketch of family peculiarities, published in little coun- try sheet.
