Of which Justice JEROME complains
is simply a social decree. a prejudice
Of the society in which tho liquor dealers

Roman Catholic Church Is very pow

70 the ordinary observer there
does not seem any relationship be-
tween old maids and canary birds.
But the Philadelphia Record shows
that there Is: "rhe demand for
canary birds is regulated 10y the sup
ply of old maids" said II Ninth
street bird dealer recently. when
the old maid market Is strong we sell
lots of canaries, Men hate 'em. |
don't know why they should, but
they do. Consequently married wom-
en- seldom indulge in canaries. OF
course there are exceptions, but most
of the women who buy birds are old
maids. They now seem to fancy the
canary even above the cat and the
parrot. 1t used to be that every old
maid had either cat or parrot,
perhaps both, but now the little yel-
low fellow has the call. The more
old maids there are, the better it is
for the canary market"

There is one form Of wealth which

that distributes big tips along the
summer routes of travel. 1t Is done

pieces, or muniGcence of that COM
mon sort. The extravaganza simply
demoralizes walters. 1t is no good to

A certain married woman who
"glorles In her SEX confesses that
,-, 49, there are times
when SHE enylca
'' her husband With
business suit and q dress suit, she
says, he Is prepared for any oeca'
sion,1 and to choose such conventions
al clothing costs him hardly n mo-
ment's thought; whereas with every
changing season she must complete
ly renrrAnge her wardrobe, not the
gowns alone, but the "gewgnws TO
match" The older she grows, the
woman says, the more heavily does
this burden weigh upon her spirit
Although she Is not society woman,
says Youths Companion, she meets
many peoplei IL seems duty to ar'
ray herself In the manner that the
general Judgment of her sex APP
proves, and TO do this demands time,
money and anxious meditation She
admits that she likes to feel well
dressed. Yet what relief II would
be, she adds, II, like the sisters be-
longing to religious orders, women
would put on uniforms and make no
change except, say, from thick gar
ments to thlnnerl At first thought
this seems reasonable propositions
1t would be so IL applied to the other
sex; for man already pays an esthet-
ic penalty for his efforts to save him
self trouble in choosing his clothing
Members of secret societies cynde the
penalty for an hour or two when they
decorate themselves with sashes and
swords and feathers; but every other
asscmblNge Of men is necessarily q
sombcr and checrlcss spectacle The
members Of any such gathering are
clad so uniformly that one might log
ically demand they put on uniforms
Happily woman's instinct permits her
to be more original, Probably the
only reason why one particular wom'
an suggests u uniform Is that some
penurlous man has charged that she
and her sisters sinfully waste their
time and money on dress, But that
Is not true Of many American women
For one family broken up by the
wife's extravaganza, hundred are
ruined by the husbands folly More
over the woman who takes pains to
show herself at her best does Il good
deed, since she adds just so much

The small boys Imagination seems
to have been excited by the reports Of
the magnifcence of the Pan-American
exposition. Youngsters are running
away all over the country, and the
police in many cities have been kept

ably be a good thing for most of these
boys to carry out rNeir plans. They
, would receive a great many hard
