Chicago Tribune: 1t will be many a
long day before Hyde Park. viii cease
wondering Hyde Park in this instance
meaning the young women Of that
south side district-and the thing over
which their minds is pondering is the
old query, well, what next?" 1t all
came out through burst Of confidence
on the part Of young woman who
long was held-not to say enjoyed
Hthe reputation of being probably the
stingiest girl in Chicago 1t has been
common gossip for years that when in
the parks she always walks on the
grass to save wearing out her shoes on
the gravel walks. She never has been
known to set up" the ice cream sodas
on hot day, and well authenticated
story is current to the effect that on
one occasion when two young women
called on her she brought in a fine
large apple and divided il between
them, saying she did not care for any,
but telling them at the same time that
her father had just sent home a barrel
Of the apples. But her crowning
achievement in petty saving probably
never would have been known did she
not take pride in her penuriousness,fo for
she is at liberty to spend her fathers
abundant wealth as freely as she viii.
do you know, girls" she said when
her confidential mood came upon her,
Il have the greatest scheme on earth
for saving shoes?" Every one Of them
thought Immediately of her plan OF
avoiding gravel walks, and expected
to hear an old story. But it was diff
ferent For two years now" she went
on, Il have never worn shoes that
were mates except to dancing parties.
You see. there's no reason why one
should have on two good shoes at once
anywhere but at a dance. When buy
a new pair I put one away and wear
the other with an old one. When l
sit down I am always careful not TO
let the old one show, but put the new
one out where it can be seen. When
the first new one gets old 1 discard
the one OF the older pair and put on
the other new one. then keep that foot
in front OF course, that l am wear
ing both shoes Of the same pair, but
they're not mates any more. Now,
isn't that a great scheme?" There
was a wild and concerted struggle on
the art OF half a dozen girls to recover
breath and composure at the same time
30 they could tell her they thought It
was a great scheme" Certainly II
wouldn't do to tell her otherwise.
Hadn't they long ago been called on TO
approve Of her plan Of laying away
solled winter gloves to wear out In
when ones gloves aren't sup
posed to look 50 fresh7 And now
they are all asking each other, What
