Didn't 1 say that Samuel was peculiar.
You see, | had an opportunity of earn
ing that much right at the beginning of
our acquaintance.
He told me his name, and 1 was so in
terested that, knowing l should be back
in Chicago a week later, I asked him to
drop in and see me at my hotel.
1t was in that second interview tina I
learned from Samuel the bulk of his story
up to that time.
Il haven't any objection to talking to
you about myself" he said, because,
first, there is nobody else who cares to
hear and, second, you seem a decent sort
of man."
I acknowledged the compliment, and he
went on.
L have been carrying valises-and
heavier things-since I saw you last
week. Blu next week I am going to have
a job in the freight yards. Oh, the
drawing? I'll get to the drawing in time.
Never fear. I'll get there.
Yes, my people are quite well-to-do,
as you guess; and we were. It's a sort
of a melodrama story that you needn't
believe unless you like. I was born and
raised in western Illinois. My father
was a grain jobber and made money at
it. But when he died he left a will that
assn quite plain. I know just what
he meant, but when it came into court
the other mans lawyer made it look
different. He made it look as if my
father wanted his property to go in
trust to my brothers uncle-mother's
dead, too-and for him to raise us-my
sister n me-an then to give all the
bulk of it to her-not me-provided she
married according to the old granduncle's
Wishes
How old are you?" I asked, taking adj
vantage of a pause.
I'm nineteen. Sisters twenty-one.
You thinl I'm younger because I am slim

How to Dress Well on a Small
income.
income.

No questions SO frequently present
themselves as those which arise from
the consideration of ones purse, and that
of clothes is, perhaps, to a woman at
least, the most important with which she
has to struggle. a struggle it is in this
age of lavishness in dress as we'll as in
everything else. What woman is. there
that does not want to look as well as her
neighbOr? That does not wish to be suit
ably gowned on every occasion, and how
few there are who do not spend many
VeXing moments over this seemingly
foolish, but altogether necessary subject.
How often one hears, "On how much
can a woman dress well?' How seldom
O how much can a woman dress ill.,"
Yet it really costs as little in some cases
to dress well as it does to dress badly.
To know what is appropriate, to know
now to pick and choose, to known how
t. make a little go a long way, is an art
1ndeed-an art that may be acquired with
care and judgment. A mistake too often
made is that a woman with $2C0 to spend
on her clothes wishes to have just the
same thing as a woman with $500. And,
naturally, she fails. But she can have
a wardrobe, and one not to be ashamed
of, either. In England it is not unusual
to hear of a girl in the best circles say
that she dresses on f4O a year, goes up to
London for the season, attends all the
fashionable affairs, and pays her travel
ing expenses out of it.
Suppose a Woman's wardrobe is en-
tirely depleted and she has to begin a
new one. Four new gowns ought to be
enough, with a shirt waist or two, and
a fancy waist, if need be; a wrap for
evening wear; two hats, one for street,
one for dress; two pairs of boots: two of
slippers; gloVes-nOt too many, for they
can be cleaned. and more than once,
successfully and for little costa few
ribbons and wells, and she is We'll equip
ped.
Every woman should have a cloth
gown, tailor made, preferably, for street
and travelling, and use in general. The
tailor will charge $50. The same sum is
required for a dress for stately occa-
sions-a house dress of cashmere or Gre
ton, or any pretty. light, fancy material
will not cost more han s14; an evening
or dancing dress, each for $50; hats, $24:
gloves, SO (they will last a Year,; boots
and slippers, s11; evening wrap, SIS, and
you have spent but $114 and have $S6 left
for any accessories that you may need
or want to complete a not costly, but sat
tsfactory outfit.
In choosing the cloth for a tailor-made
grown it is well to select a light weight
cloth. 1t serves two purposes; that of
economy-for it can be worn late in the
spring and early In the autumn-in fact,

Old BcclZcbub.
(By Augusta Prescott.)

That boy Samuel is altogether peculiar
in at least one respect-perhaps it may
amount to two respects when you come
to consider it.
L call him that boy because so he
was when 1 first knew him years ago, and
he has, not changed. He was that boy
Samuel" then, and, although l often turn
him over in my mind, SO to speak, and try
to find something strange or new in him,
there is nothing now that was not in him
then, except he has grown both physical
ly and mentally. Perhaps I shall be able
to detect a change in him when he gets
married, but that will not be for some
months to come.
SO that is the respect-or those are
the respects-in which Samuel is peculiar.
1t is very peculiar for a young man Of in
dependent means, who has come into his
wealth within the past three years, to be
just like the boy he was when his circum-
stances were so poor that you could hard
ly dignity them with the name of circum-
stances. They were worse than poor;
they were destitute.
His origin is western. 1 made his ac-
quaintance in Chicago; and for that priv
ilege | have to thank my valise, which !
started out to carry five blocks from a
restaurant to q depot, believing it to be
light, and which, finding it to be heavy,
j was obliged to give to Samuel to carry.
He offered to carry it for ten cents, and
/ paid him a quarter. He fished out three
nickelS to give me for change, and / re-
fused them. fie shook his head and said,
You'll never set on in a place like this"
"Why?" / said, Have you had much
experience of Chicago"
No, I haven't said Samuel. 81 only
came here a week ago."
Did y come to look for work, like
the rest?'
Game to seek my fortunes"
1t may seem very improbable, but L can
honestly aver that Samuel then and there
seemed as neatly and properly dressed as
he Usually does now, and he is no sloven
now. He may even awe more costly
clothes, but they become him neither bet
ter nor worse than those he wore when
he put down my Valise against a pillar
that evening and tished out those three
nickels.

ostrich feather can be used for years. The
male feather is the best; it is stronger

son. l have known a good feather in

OnOmy is obvious. One or two good
feathers in five years amount to less than
one or two poor ones every year.

A house dress of crepon or cashmere
should be simply made with full Ions
skirt-thc front of the bodice of some
soft silk or net, d satin collar and belt.
The cost of this should not exceed $14.
After all, the ribbon collar and belt are
not expensive. Ribbon can be cleaned
equal to new at a nominal cost, and can
be cleaned again and again, provided
the ribbon is good in the first place.
