among the gifts he received with great
qualification. This watch was designed
exclusively for use with evening dress
Its diameter being scarcely greater
than that of a silver dollar, it slips
into a dress waistcoat pocket without
stretching the mouth or lining, nor by
the least bullying does it indicate its
presence, and the little clasp on the
ring enables the wearer to so fasten ii
to the pocket that when dancing or in
active movement it cannot fall out.
Very recently men have taken kindly
to the wearing of a short, jeweled
watch chain. utilized in a rather novel
mode, with afternoon dress. The chain
is made of thin, broad gold links, stud
ded very often with small, colored
jewels. and it is only long enough TO
extend from the upper waistcoat pocket
down across the buttons to the lower
waistcoat pocket on the opposite side.

JUST FOR TRIPLES.
Money Spent By Some New York
Women.
lChicagO NeWs.l

Chicago News.)
The average woman who scrimps to
buy clothes and gets old worrying over
lack of money is apt to gnash her teeth
over the coin the richer women throw
away. The majority of women are
lucky if they have $500 or $500 year
to spend on themselves. There are at
least dozen women in New York who
have $3.50 a year for mere pin money,
their dress bills being in u separate ac-
count.
Mrs. Oliver H. p. Belmont. formerly
Mrs. w. X. Vanderbilt, is said to be the
most eXtravagant woman in society
She spends quite 100000 each year on
trifes and knicknacks.
Mrs. Theodore Havemeyer comes
next She disposes of some $4,000 each
year on her whims and never asks the
price of an article that strikes her
fancy, but orders it sent home-that
dream of liberty every woman has.
Mrs. John Jacob Astor spends $4,000
a year great part of the money goes
for diamonds. of which she is fond. and
she often spends $1,000 in an afternoons
shopping tour.
Though Mrs. George Gould has $500 900
set aside for her each year she fire.
quently winds up the twelve months
some $4,000 in debt. for she is inter-
ested in a number of charities which
she helps literally.
Helen Gould's income is the largest of
any unmarried woman in the country.
She does not spend much on herself
On churches and charities she spends
500. 900 a year.
The wife of Russell Sage is very gem
erous. and though her home life is SIM
nile she distributes about 100000 each
wear to deserving charities.

How to Press Trousers.
A little while back, reference was
made 10 the fact that men no longer
cared to accentuate the trouser crease.
1t is necessary that the trouser should
appear as if freshly pressed, but not
by the force of a ponderouS weight or
hot iron. and a New York tailor has
evolved for his well-dreSed patrons
what certainly seems the best mode Of
keeping these garments in perfect
shape. OF light polished wood, nor pa
pier mache. he makes a long narrow
case, which he calls a trouSer box. 4

The New Evening Shoe.
American men undoubtedly lose

OLDEST ROSE TREE
In THE WORLD

In the crypt of the cathedral of Hill
resheim grows wildrose tree, said to
be 1000 years old: whereas, it is the
root only, not the stem, which is eight
centuries old, according to accurate in
formation derived from original docu-
ments. A legend connects this rose
tree with VOW made by the founder
of the cathedral, Ludwig the Pious, and
a document of the eleventh century
states that when Bishop Hello rebuilt
the cathedral, which had been burned
down, he enclosed the roots of the rose
tree within vault which still exists,
raised upon this vault the crypt, and
spread out the branches of the rose
tree upon the walls. The stem was
in 1S49 twenty-siX and one-half feet
high. and the branches covered about
thirty-two feet of the external crypt
wall. This is said to be the Oldest rose
tree in the world.
