"Among what are known as the la
boring classes in this country the
woman is the financial head of the
house," writes Frances Evans, of "The
Wife and Her Husbands Business, F"
in the Ladies' Home journal. "The
man is the wage Garner; the woman
;he wage holder. Every mechanic
who is considered steady man hands
over his wages to his wife when he is
paid of. She handles the money and
directs the financial interests of the
entire family. The women of that
,lass estimate q mans character by
lis willingness to intrust his earnings
10 his wife or mother. The wife of a
lay laborer is compelled by necessity
10 be a partner in the matrimonial
,oncern; but let the husband of one of
these women rise gradually or sudden
y into large means and wide business
interests and you will you see her lit
lie by little accustom herself to cod
Hing, in the form of servants and lux
aries. She is no longer compelled to
ind ways and means, while her hus-
band takes pride in turning her into a
dne lady, and so destroys the healthy
partnership of former days without
offering her compensation for the
earlier confidence between them."

New York Tribune: A group of lit
tie girls, from 12 to IA, were talking
with each other one day on Bailey's
beach at Newport, a few days ago, and
stranger curious to hear what the
children Of the elect conversed about,
took seat on the sand in their neigh
borhood. They were talking of the fu-
ture, as children of their age are wont
to do, and, of course, the prospective
bridegroom came in for large share
of their attention. "Yes, l shall mar
ry," announced unquestionably the
beauty of the party, lovely girl of 10,
but" she added with calm conviction,
Il do not think l shall stay married
long l get tired of people so easily.
l shall probably get divorce after a
few years. Her sentiments did not
seem to excite any surprise or disap-
proval, but one Of the group said timid-
ly: MY mother thinks it is very
wrong to be divorced. She says it is
a solemn VOW for better or worse, and
II 1t Is for worse, why people must
stand It," The other laughed mock
ingly, and the first speaker who SEEM
ed to be the spokesman for the party
answered with the wearied air of a
woman of the world, which she had

l,et Them Alone

People over 80 would do well to give
up milk and eggs in any form as
diet" said well-known physician.
"These are the structure-forming food
of animals which mature in a short
time, and when taken in quantities by
human beings whose structures have
already formed they tend only to the
hardening and aging Of the tissues. l
have seen people who were beginning
to find stair climbing difficult, and who
were losing their elasticity, much ben
Gifted by eliminating these articles
from their diet. That there has been
a great increase in the duration Of life
below the age of 80 statistics prove,
but beyond that period there has been
no improvement. In my opinion, the
person over 80 would have as good a
chance to preserve life as the child
just beginning its struggle with exist
ence If he would only suit his diet to
his years.

Bpiritualists Disport without Spirit. a

Spiritualists had a jolly picnic at
Braintree, Mass, with baseball, wheel
barrow and potato races and other
wholesome outdoor sports, with not a
cabinet or screen in sight. Now, if
the spirits had consented to appear
under such auspices through the me-
diumship of the contestants in the po-
tato race, for example, many skeptics
might be gathered into the fold of
spiritualistic belief, but there was no
manifestation of the supernatural on
that cheerful day. For some reasons
all spirits, whatever may have been
their character during the mortal life,
show an exclusive partiality for dark
ness and slow music when summoned
back to earth.

Some of the autumn models are very
stylish and becoming to women who
like to appear dressy. A gown of mas
tic cloth has a bolero of pale masti C
satin stitched in new and odd French
manner; the edges are strapped with
cloth, and the revers curl back in a
novel way to show vest of white silk
with babs fastened down the centre by
cross bars of gold and crystal drops.
A smart little coat to be worn with
this dress is of pale mastic cloth,
trimmed with curved bands of stitch
ing outlined by tiny black chenille
and white silk braid; the fronts are
caught together by links of silver fill
gree, and the revers and collar are
faced with white silk prettily patterned
with black.

the British islands only 2,695,0O0. The

One Way Women Earn a Living.

cit is a CUSTOM" said well-known
hotel man, "for managers of some
seaside and mountain hotels to en-
ploy women to introduce guests to
one another. A clever woman of tact
can earn from $15 to $25 week and
board at this. She must be educated,
tactful and pleasant, and must have
the rare faculty of being able to in
gratiate herself into the good graces
of the women guests and introduce
them to others, SO as to make them
feel at home, and provide company
for those who otherwise might be
lonely during their stay. There is no
better advertisement for hotel or
summer resort than good news
paper to get people to patronize the
hotel, and the next best thing is to
treat them so well that they'll go away
and talk about the hotel to their
friends and return again themselves.
When man and his wife arrive at
q hotel they do not readily make ac-
quaintances, because they do not
know who is who. The proprietor or
manager has not the time to introduce
people. If r. has smart woman to

Largo Enough for Three or -Four Little

The latest novelties in the smart toy
shops are large playhouses, to be set
npon the lawn for the use of the little
girls of the family. These come in
very pretty designs, counterparts of the
Queen Anne cottages in which the lit
tie mothers really live. They are large
enough to accommodate three or four
little girls and their dolly families. The
interiors consist of one large room,
which Is furnished with small chairs,
tables, couches, beds, bureaus, book
cases and so on, all of which articles
of furniture come in very attractive
forms and can be purchased at any Of
the large shops dealing in children's
toys and games. These houses will be
welcomed gladly by the little misses,
for they open out vista of afternoon
teas, parties and receptions at which
the hostess can play at being real
live mamma and social leader Placed
In a shaded corner of the lawn, or out
In the orchard, the girls of the family
will pass many a happy hour when the
sun is too hot for outdoor exercise.

The house in the Rue d'Assas
which Rosa Bonhuer owned for forty
years is to be bought and torn down
by the municipality of Paris. After
the artist removed to By, near Fon-
tainbleau, the house in the Rue d'As-
sas was converted into n temporary
home for poor artists. Men and girls
were received, but no one could stay
longer than two weeks-just time
enough to enable them to find cheap
and suitable accommodations. The
house was surrounded with flowers,
an oasis in dull, dirty street, and at
one time Nine. Rosa's menagerie
added to the din of the neighbor-
hood. A monkey, dogs, cats, a
sheep, q goat and a pet lamb were
among the smaller ''models" who were

services are concerned. 1t is inter-
esting to watch clever woman at
work, introducing people. 1t is SO
deftly accomplished, and the result is
so satisfactory that life becomes
pleasant at resort. I have seen
clever woman sit on the portico with a
woman she knew. In less than half
hour this same clever woman would
be surrounded by half dozen women
who were chatting and laughing, and
yet were strangers at dinner during
the evening before. But it must all
be done with tact, Judgment and dis
elimination. An introducer or enter
tainer must not be forward. Some
women do not desire introductions.
Others wish to be consulted before
introduction. The clever woman can
readily learn who desire to know peo-
pie and have speaking acquaintances
at least during their stay at the hotel.
1t can all be so deftly done that not
