of money getting is evidently ar
inherent quality and ambition in the
American blood. for there is hardly g
woman in New York society, no matter
how lofty her position and generous hel
| income, who does not dearly love the
! excitement of earning an extra honest
penny.
Just now it is by the sale of flowers
small fruits and pet dogs that the most
| f1ourishing commerce is carried Oh in
| high life, and no social leader peces-
sarily feels herself in the smallest de-
gree contaminated with vulgar trade
by carrying on her polite traffic. Mrs
Aston and the Countess of STAFFORD
for example, are in violets. but to rem
der their business dealings as dis;in-
guishad as possible, no blossoms from
their choicely kept cold frames ever
waste their perfume on the unaristo-
cratic air of a shop. Sales of the odor-
Gus posies from those famous farms on
the Hudson are all strictly private
among the friends of the ladies who are
interested in violet culture. and the
florists clamor as vainly for them as
for the notable crosby roses or the fruit
dealers for the straw berries from the
Vanderbilt farm
On the same system as the -Astor TO-

dogs limit their circle of patrons. Dog
raising is a fine art and a polite pas
sion among the animal-loving women,
and as high as 500 good round dollars
is cheerfully paid for frisky terrier,
dachshund or bull pup from private
stables, such, for example. as Mrs. H.
Carey's. Under the loving, scientific
superintendent of this lady fox ter
riers are bred in physical beauty and TO
the privileges of high culture, and al
though her income from her dogs is not
known, yet it is positively a tidy
sum.
Mrs. Woodruff Sutton is another wo-
man who wins profit as well as pleas
ure from her dogs, who are raised on
her Long Island farm, and whose very
blue canine blood commands an arnaz-
ingly high figure.

Then there is Mrs. Whiting, whose
strawberries are sold by the dozen and
delivered in the form of bouquets, each
strawberry having its own long STEM
and a group of four or six are tied to-
gether like heavy headed roses. But to
enumerate all these traders is to men,
ton a goodly majority of New York s
feminine society that has found more
than purely amateur interest in the
products of the modern perfected stable
and model farm.
Clergymen As Husbands.
Clersymen, so fashionable women are
just discovering, make ideal husbands:
hence the recent large accessions of
wealth to ecclesiastical circles through
the strong and holy bonds of matri-
mony. Counting only from the begin
ming of '99, sufficient evidence can be
produced to prove conclusively that
the clergyman's matrimonial star. from
every point of view, is distinctly in the
ascendant, and that a popular preacher
stands a better chance of winning a
lovely, wealthy wife than his more
worldly brother
