ANDREWS FIRST WAGE.


Soon after this the family emigrated
much to their regret, but especially be-
cause they thought the change would
be beneficial TO the two boys, himself
and his brother, Thomas. AS a bObbin
boy in Pittsburg he received $l2O
week This was at the age of 10.
Mr.. Carnegie says: 81 was very proud
when | received my first weeks own
earnngs-s12 made by myself and
given to me because l had been some
use in the world, no longer entirely de-
pendent upon my parents, but at last
admitted to a family partnership as
a contributing member and able to help
them. This seemed to make a man of
me, boy as l was. I felt that l was
useful"
Mr.. Carnegie has since then handled
not many millions, but probably has
had 10 do with billions az dollars.
Speaking of this fact, he says yet
the genuine satisfaction / had from
that $1.20 outweighed any subsequent
pleasure in money getting. 1t was the
direct reward of honest, manual labor;
ii represented a week of so hard labor

it that slavery might be too strong a

BORN IN SCOTLAND.

OF course, everybody knows that he
was born in Dunfernlyne, Scotland, in
1885. His parents were in humble cir
Cumstances his father being a weaver
and evidently unable to maintain
themselves in that thrifty but unprO-
ductive climate; so he came to America
with his mother and brothers and start
ed out i'm Allegheny county to become
something better than it was possible
to be in the Old country. Mr.. Carnegie
says himself that his family were poor,
and he with IT.. and that he did the
most lowly tasks to assist in main
| tanning the household. He thought that
| it was his duty to be bread winner
| as soon as he could mink of anything.
| His father had owned in Scotland four
| damask looms and had apprentices
| This, as he said. was before the days of
| steam factories which manufactured
| linen, but as the factory system de-
| vcloped the hand loom weaving de-
clinCd and his father was sufferer.
Mr. Carnegie says: THE first scri-
| Gus lesson of my life came to me one
day, when my father had taken in the
| last of his work to the merchant and
| returned to our little home greatly dis
! tressed because there was no more
work for him to do. ! was then just
about 10 years of age, but the lesson
burned into my heart and | resolved
then that the wolf of poverty would
be driven from our door some day If |
could do it,"

and with the Princess effect, quite hugging
the figure.
The outside garment is tiny coat OF
silver fox with Russian lace embedded In
the front The lace Is of the royale de-
scription tiny threads of silver and gold
being interviewer There are also small bits
of turquoise and sapphire just to give
blush tinge to the garniture. 1t Is an eX-
quisite piece of work.
The bolero is cut scalloped as to the
lapels, which form a plastron terminating
in a Medici collar which is very tall and
hugs the head
The muff is of silver fox with deep ruch-
ing of black satin put on in very large seal
lops.
The hat is very decorative and elegant
affair in black satin and silver fox with
the top made higher and broader with
spreading plumes put on as Princes feath-
ers.
The garniture royale before referred to
is made from course but expensive lace
of the Veuxeiul variety. Its mesh is rath-
er small but the threads are very heavy
and durable. Into this is woven the gem
and metals of all descriptions, including
gunmetal oxidized gold anotAilver, bronze
and all other ornamental metals. With
these are distributed the mock gems of
every description, including Brazil brill
dants and African quartz, both eff the lat
lants are yellow and very bright, specially
when we'll cut; and the African quartz are
gray and very scintillating.
In Russia and in France they make
fine art of lace decoration, and, in purch-
asing the piece of lace, you purchase the
name of the designer. garniture royale,
the work of Villaml, brings a high price.
This, too, affords fine field for the girl

The crown is composed of bands of mink

so that the bands of mink stand upright,

They are combining two kinds of fur

than the sable, and so is desirable to finish

You are wondering what the Princess
Cantacuzene is wearing. On her first APP
pearance after her marriage she wore a
gown of tan and blue somewhat similar
to the one Just described. The underskirt
of tan had a very deep ripple around the
foot underneath which were ruchesses Of
