she buys at 10 cents each as many tick
cts as she thinks will be required and
has them distributed among the coach
men. The result is that the waiting
servants are not tempted to visit sa-
looms while passing away the dreary
hours during which their employers are
dining and dancing:
Mrs. Levi P. Morton n Mrs. Will
liam Astor were among the first to rec
ognize the utility Of the lunch wagon,
and the latter distributed 600 tickets at
her last entertainment. Many other
New York society women have followed
the example of these ladies'.
One Of the most encouraging features
of this scheme is that these lunch
wagons are beginning to pay for them
selves, the first cost of the outfit being
a free gift, of course. They belong to a
large network of charity in which a
number of men and women are engage
ed, which includes 10 cent lunch vans

fathers office was not a vain pretense.
The elder Rockefeller had begun with
nothing but a strong will and a ca
pacious brain, and he knew the value OF
a thorough mastery Of details. He re-
solved that his son should have a train
ing which should mean something and
which would not leave him defenseless
when the time came for him to stand
alone.
Therefore the young man received no
privileges that We're not accorded equal
" to the other clerks, and he asked
none. He took to business as if the love
of it had been born in him. In this
he learned h power and the
value of money and all the ~intrieacies
of the management OF the scores of
diverse plans and industries in which
his father is interested.
Young Mr.. Rockefeller will probably
not appear as a Spectator o. the inan-
cial exchanges. He will gradually as
sumo other positions of responsibility,
and in time the lead of wealth which
now burdens his fathers shoulders may
be shifted to the sons.

A RICH FODDER.
Young John d. Rockefeller Puts ON
the Heavy Harness of Business.

John D.. Rockefeller, Jr., who has just
made his bow in the business world by
being elected one of the directors of the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
railroad, is an exception among rich
mems sons. This young man, whose IA
Their has piled up more billions than all
his relatives could spend in two gen.
erations. is doing none of h things
which most young men do under sim
liar circumstances. He is neither an
idler, a sport nor a s~pendthrift.
Instead he is working as hard as if
he had his own fortune to make. He
does not smoke or drink. On weekdays
he goes regularly to his desk. On Sun
days he attends church and teaches a
Sunday school class. He spends his
evenings at home and ignores both the
alters and society. 1t % he enters the
business world a quiet, unassuming
young man, who evidently intends to
/ work hard and do something on his own
account.
John D. Rockefeller, Jr, has grown up

evidence that he has ever wished to re-
bel at the parental supervision. Even

lege he was classed among the quiet
students and never distinguished him.

LUNCH FOR cOAcHMEN.
A Worthy Enterprise Established by
New York Society Women.

New York society women have estab-
lished a most practical philanthropic
enterprise. 1t takes the form of lunch
wagons for coachmen. Some time ago
several estimable ladies awoke to the
fact thai the drivers and footnaen who
waited until all hours of the night in all
kinds of weather for the close of fash
ionable functions must have a dreary
time of it. Then they discovered that
the coachmen were apt to confor
themselves with strong liquors.
Finally some practical woman hit up
on the plan of furnishing the coach
men with hot coffee and sandwiches.
This luncheon she had distributed by a
man with a push cart. The idea was
elaborated, and society took it up.
A one horse van was fitted up with a
coffee urn and putsin charge of a mar
who was instructed to drive wherever
he was needed. This proved such a
success that other vans were equipped,
and now there are several operating in
New York city.
Now, when a Fifth avenue woman
gives a big reception or ball, she orders

To the paternal side she owes her two
distinguished names-D'Angelo by de-
scent from the great Frankfort banker
and Bergh from the famous German phi

The decoration worn by Lille d'Angelo
Bergh is that of membership in the order
of Chevaliers de Melusine, conferred upon
her by a prince whose name and titles are

this season, whether In the Immense

ors of hats, trimmings, ribbons n gar
ments
There were many dainty new sum-
mer parasols on display at another
place, and for real use in keeping on
the burning rays of the sun they would
be of little service. But for a softening
and identifying frame for a lovely face
they are certainly successful Some OF
them have a centerpiece of silk or
satin not over Is inches in diameter,
and all the rest is shirred and puffed
crepe lisse or chiffon, ending in a deep
floating ruffie. The handles are verita-
BILE works of art. This small central
portion is often wrought with beads
and perhaps chenille embroidery in true
lovers knots or a little fine fligree de-
sign. Others are Of plaid taffeta devoid
of trimming. Others again are of silk
or satin in bayadere stripes, the stripes
going around. White satin ones with
black knots are very stylish. Some
black ones have white lace ruffiing.
A wonderful fancy was shown in soft
india or china silk, each separate piece
in a different but solid color. The whole
stuff was wrought into a series OF dia
monds, with white insertion inset to
form the squares. The silk was cut
away between them, and the effect was
very light and pretty. Another design
had a silk of green, blue lilac or pink,
with applique patterns ef lace repre-
senting flowers or bowknots or some
thing like that. The silk was cut way
under these, and another colored skirt is
to be worn under, so hat the color be-
meath shall show through. One pure
white showed a pink underskirt through
the lace. 1t is exquisite. I think one or
w of these designs had some other
color basted under the lace instead of
letting the underskirt furnish the con-
trast.
But there is another side to existence.

tantalizing circles and loops; but, try
as I might. I never could touch one. But
1 think those dream ribbons were even
more beautiful b those that I saw in
reality.
Henry Ward Beecher had a passion
for jewels, and his wife told me that he
also had a passion for rich silks and
ribbons, and that whenever he saw
any in show windows he would go in
n buy a piece, n this he would
keep on his study table to look at. These
pieces of silk and ribbon he would
somehow lose and then go off and buy
more. After his death Mrs. Beecher
gave them as souvenirs to her women
friends.
1 have often thought that perhaps the
sight of those rich brocades did in some
way stimulate him by their perfect
splendor, as music. does others. Any
how, he loved to see them. So do I.
In one place the other day l stood
before a display of ribbons that was
SO truly beautiful that I now feel en-
tirely incompetent to describe them.
Beginning with the narrow baby and
Tom Thumb varieties in all he popu-
lar colors, the list grow wider and va
ries more.
The most of the narrow ribbons are
in one color and are used for ruffiing.
Next to them comes a ribbon about
three inches wide The center is of one
color, say blue, and then there is a line
perhaps a sixteenth of an inch wide OF
bright color in a fine brocade sometimes
showing two or three colors. The outer
lines are white, with a row of the mar
row brocade. The white and blue lines
are nearly an incl wide. To put this
ribbon to the use it is intended for the
center stripes of brocade are gathered,
which makes a shirring of the center
part and ruffies of the two outer edges.
This is sewed TO skirts, waists-and on
hats. and it shows UP wonderfully well.
Wires are fastened along the inside of
the shirring when it is put upon hats
in the form of loops or outstanding
bows.
Next come the wide ribbons, which
will be used in a variety of ways in ad-
dition to sashes. There was one pat
tern of "a ciel blue ground, with large
oriental palm leaves in rich browns n
gold colors mingleds with red. The
leaves laid 'this way and that" in the
length of the ribbon, there being but lit

were originally intended for. They are
to be tied at the front, back, right or
left side in a huge bow, with ends
reaching the bottom of the skirt.

are to be worn with any kind of a

for sashes. It is only suitable for rath-

bring out all its beauties. These de-
signs are now, as always, in very deli
cate tints and vague shadowy figures.
