The Grace of Simplicity.
10 Rrooklyn Ea gle.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
The conclusion of William Archer. the
English critic, that we are not so busy
as we think we are, based not only
upon the time we spend in barbershops,
but upon his experience of leisurely
luncheons in business hours, has been
formed by so many EnSlishmen and SO
many men familiar with London, that
there must be something in it. It is
possible as nation we bear some re-
semblance to the man who fuses so
much over his work that he has little
time to do it in?
MI Archer's experience of American
hospitality has been very pleasant. as
may be judged by the fact that men
have frequently given up business
hours for formal luncheons to him.
politeness which we rarely extend to
each other, but one of his comments on
it we may well take to heart. He says
that the one drawback to it is that it is
so profuse, and that he has entered
mild but ineffectual protests when hard
working fellow Journalists have enter
tanned him ION scale that would have
betitted a millionaire" Then he adds:
"A dinner three times more lavish and
expensive than you want is not sweet
ened by the thought that you may in
turn give your host a dinner three
times more lavish and expensive than
he wants. Both parties under this sys-
tenn suffer in digestion and pocket,
while only Delmonico is the gamer"
That criticism applies to a great deal Of
American life. Our lavishness no doubt
sprang from generous and hospitable
impulse, but it degenerates pretty
quickly into desire to display, which
we recognize as crude when it rurs to
diamond shirt pins and earrings, bu5
which we somehow think elegant when
it takes the form of 10 courses and
champagne for people who habitually
eat four courses and drink claret or the
humble beer.
The grace which as a nation we have
not yet learned is the grace of sim
plicity, and We are afraid to strive after
it lest we be thought stingy or poor.
For that reason it behooves the few
people who see the light to follow it
and make a new fashion.

TOO PROSPEROUS.
Not Enough Business for the Eastern
Loan Company.


Loan Company.
Great Falls, May 20.-L. B. Bunnell.
one of the directors of the Bunnell-Eno
Investment company, who has been
spending several days in this city,
states that his company is preparing
to withdraw from business in Montana
and turn over all of its holdings here
and in Washington to an English COM
pany. Hereafter the company will
operate almost exclusively in Texas. In
speaking of the move, Mr.. Bunnell says
that it is actuated not from loss, but
from a prospect of greater gain in
Texas, and because the larger part OF
the loans which the company made IN
this state have been paid off. During
the panic and the succeeding years they
were obliged to carry number or
ranchers and stock men. but in the last
two or three years the loans have been
paid off rapidly until they now amount
to SO little that the company Is not
justified in continuing in business mere

prosperous to continue source of pront

A Duene.. Who Visits Prisons.

Perhaps the woman who knows the
most about women ~convicts In Eng
lish prisons Is Adeline, Duchess OF
Bedford. Her grace holds special per-
mission from the home secretary to
visit the convict prisons In which
women are incarcerated for longer pc
RODS than two years. and very ex-
cellent use has she made OF the great
trust reposed in her. With her col
league, Lady Battersea, she does every
thing in her power to give the pris-
oners, upon their dischar-e, a fresh
start under improved conditions. The
duchess Is a handsome woman In the
prime OF life, and when speaking from
the platform her charming voice Is
curlously like that of her sister, Lady
Henry Somerset.
