The Worried Rich,

The question of how much money is
required for the maintenance of the
members Of the American upper class"
was seriously considered by Justice
O'Gorman in the supreme court yesterS
day. He decided that it is at least S14,-
576.S3 year.
Charles A. Tucker, of Norwalk, Conn.,,
lives on the income of a trust fund
created by his father. The income, paid
to him annually. it is said, is $14,576.83,
and on this he and his 12-year-old
daughter, Kitty, live sumptuously.
In the course of his career, it is as
serted, Mr.. Tucker, finding his $14,576S3
year insufficient to live upon, con-
tracted debts amounting to $71 ,199. The
creditors tried in vain to collect their
money.
Then Charles A. Sherman, an OBJ
streperous creditor. to whom Tucker
owed $1,000, asked the courts to set
aside some of his $14,576S3 yearly in
SOiiO " pay AAm dAu OtHcI CIcUlUJIS.
He suggested that Tucker receive $5,432
year and his creditors the rest.
In his answer, Tucker declared that
while he felt more or less technical
sympathy for his creditors he feared he
could do nothing to help them. His
$14,576.S3 a year he found he could
spend without their assistance, and he
considered it none too much for a per-
son of his expensive tastes. His counsel
drew a touching picture of the horses
and carriages he required both here and
abroad.
Though 40 years DID," he said tear
fully "he has never learned to work."
Justice O'Gorman, who also appeared
to be very much affected, said that it
was not plain from the papers that the
trust fund was more than enough to
support Mr.. Tucker and educate Miss
Tucker. He refused to grant an order
compelling Mr.. fuckers trustees to pay
his debts.
It was said in court that Mr.. Tucker
had been very much annoyed by the
proceedings. He regarded the attitude
Of his "tradesmen" in trying to collect
as insolent in the extreme

The Twentieth Century Woman. =
In the state Of New York there are
10000 more girls than boys in the acad-
emies and high schools, with a similar
proportion in other states. During
eight years we see an increase of 1O5 per
cent in the attendance of women at CO.
educational universities. There can be
no question that this number will grow
larger as the years go on. In compari-
son with men, women are already the
leisure class. There was a time when
the division of labor was nearly equal,
the man doing his work outside, the
greater part of womans work has been
taken away from the house and put into
the factories. Year by year she has
seen this process going on, until it is
not an exaggeration to say that nine
tenths of the duties formerly done in
the household are now transferred to
other fields. ~
Among what are called the wage
earning classes, the women have fol-
lowed their work. Among families
whose finances permit, the girls, who
formerly were needed for domestic duties
are now sent to college. In time they
return home, and here they area great
class of highly educated, well-trained
leisure women. Now what shall they
do? Can anything be more illogical
absurd and useless than to try to COM
press these women into the sphere
which sufflced for their grandmothers ?
One segment after another Of this has
been removed until there isn't any
sphere left. You could put a chicken
back into the broken egg-shell more
easily than you could gather up the
fragments of this old sphere and crowd
the Twentieth century woman into it.
But one thing is possible, and that is
to create a new sphere for herself and
prove her capacity,to fill it.-Mrs. Ida H
Harper, in New York Sun.

To Clean and Polish a Piano.

In cleaning and polishing a piano, go
over the woodwork with a cloth wet
with parafine oil, being generous with
the oil where the woodwork is very
much soiled. Let this remain two or
three hours; this is to soften the dirt.
Then wash with soap and water and a
soft cloth, being careful not to let any
water touch the works inside the piano.
Use good white or a white CASTLE SOAP.
Wipe dry with a soft cloth and polish
with soft old linen or chamois leather

Economy of Table Linen.

Every woman of refinement loves to
be the possessor of liberal quantity
of fine dining room and table linen.
To achieve this desire it is necessary
to use great amount of discretion in
the collection of her linens and in the
care Of them after they are collected.
There is pleasure in the possession of
fine linens even surprising that in the
possession of fine glass or china, for no
matter how fine the quality of the dish
es may be, half the charm is lost when
they are placed upon cheap, slazy or
1lly-laundered cloth. Then, again, the
durability of really good linen adds
greatly to the pleasure of it's possessor.
Every dollar added to the amount
paid for table cloth is an economy, for
its wearing qualities are increased at a
greater ratio in linen than in almost
anything else. A table cloth measuring
two and half yards and costing IS
will wear three times as long as a cloth
at 81 yard This is not the only ad-
vantage to be considered. The quality
of the linen shows at a glance the diff
ference between cheap cloth and an
expensive one; the patterns and designs
are far more attractive and there is a
fullness and a body that adds greatly to
the beauty of the cloth when laundered
and causes it to hold its own when in
use. Last, but not least, is the pleasure
OF knowing that you have a cloth that
will last for many years and always
give pleasure to it's owner.
Cloths that have border around
them are to be preferred to the linen
bought by the yard. Linens should al
ways be hemmed by hand and an initial
embroidered on them in white cotton.
AS to laundering of linens, there
should never be any starch used, but
they should be ironed when quite wet.
Inc fewer folds or creases that are
1roned into them the better. If one
has closet in which a few poles may
be hung and the cloths with but one
fold, hung over them, one will find this
the ideal way to keep their linen. Small
er pieces, such as carving cloths, center
pieces. bouffet covers. tray covers and
doilies may be kept in boxes of suitable
size. All embroidered pieces should be
separately washed and most carefully
ironed. An iron should never be placed
upon the right side of embroidery, and
even on the wrong side is should be
shielded by double fold of flannel.
There Is nothing that will ever look
so refined and handsome as table with
all its decorations with the exception
OF the spray of fowers) in white.
Renaissance laces are much used for
doylies and center pieces, and the same
care should be taken in the laundering
OF these laces as Of the fine embroider-
les.
