had nearly that sum for wearing apparel
and the expenses OF dressing a young girl
OF her position have increased very con-

girl must have many more gowns than
were formerly required and the individual
ones are far more costly. should say
moderate estimate for young woman
entering society"
As TO horses and carriages?"
Miss Campbell has two horses and two
carriages in summer and q man 10 take
care OF them. They are kept at Bar Har-
Dor the year around and the expenses OF
keeping them are about 81 900 year But
II Is desirable that she should have one
OF her horses. saddle horse, IN New York
during the winter for the benefit Of her
health as well as pleasure. She wishes
to join riding club which has an exclu-
sive membership. the dues OF which are
800 year. II viii cost her about $40
year TO keep her saddle horse in this city.
I suppose that 1850 a year would be
fair estimate Of the cost OF keeping her
horses and carriages"
What win be the expense OF her social
activiues?"
For introducing her into society II
would be proper TO give some general en-
tertainment like ball or reception or
some big dinners and dances 1 suppose
that the cost OF these would be at leas,
$1,000 during the season. And then there
would be an expense OF smaller dinners.
the thester and opera"
What would be the cost of Miss Camp
bells travelling expenses and the summer
outings?"
They would, OF course. vary consid-
erabiy. Last year she went abroad at
an expense Of about 1900. II probably
will be advisable 10 take her TO Europe
again soon. Ia winter time IL will proha-
bly, be found necessary TO take her to a
warmer climate. She viii probably pass
most Of the summers with her mother at
Bar Harbor or be the guest OF friends
Probably the travelling expenses VIII av-
erage loo a year or maybe more. espe-
cially when she goes abroad"
What are the expenses OF personal at
tendance?"
she has maid at a cost OF $50
year"
AS 10 medical attendance?"
During the past year Miss Campbell
has not been IN vigorous health and she
has frequently required the services OF
a physician. She has also needed much
dental work. The bills for these amount
ed 10 about $500. 7 should say that was
a fair allowance"
Mrs. Parsons testimony was practically
like her brothers. but she emphasized
the essentially feminine needs Of her
daughter. This generous and aTectionate
mother seemed 10 think that even II Miss
Campbell received the total income Of her
estate II would hardly meet the legiti-
mate expenses that encounter a girl Of
eighteen about to enter society. There
were incidents like cab hire. II they
could not keep horses in town surely cab
hire would amount to a considerable sum
III the Course OF the winter
After a most careful consideration Ref
cree McKim recommended 1900 year
as the sum needed by a young woman u
Miss Campbells position and education.
You viii observe that even when she
spends this much Miss Campbell is stil
saving $3.50 a year
The Judge affirmed the referees recon-
mendation. So the judicial opinion and
precedent now stands. $1,000 a year. $50
