A Girl without Tnct.

What do you think of the girl who
was guilty OF the following: IL was at
a dinner table. The men had been talk
ing about rich girls-certain heiresses
they knew-and the chaperon remarked
archly. well. thank goodness. Jack
didn't marry me for my money!"
Whereupon the girl. who had to make
her wits do instead OF a fortune (and
she didn't have any too much of those),
spoke up bitterly "Oh. yes. But you
belonged to n different age"
Horrible and ghastly silence. The
worst OF IL was that Il wasn't merited
at all, as the chaperon had a right to
consider herself still i'm the ranks OF
young and pretty matrons.
The girl didn't mean it? oh, no!
Well, the chaperon won't mean TO leave
her out Of her next dinner party. but
that is what will happen just the same.
Then there was another one. She was
newspaper woman, and she wrote a
book: not that she cared for writing
books. but she wanted TO steer herself
by this means into society She had
come 10 the conclusion that life wasn't
worth living without a chance TO throw
her witticisms around among the elect.
After she had struggled for admission
for couple OF months a married wo-
man took pity on her and stood sponsor.
Then what do you suppose happened ?
Miss Newspaper Woman worked to
such good advantage that she soon
gained for herself a circle OF admirers.
but she included IN that circle the man
Of all others in whom her patroness
was at that time interested. Her fall
was sudden and speedy. I don't sup
pose she ever knew really why. Which
shows you that while a woman may
succeed in Park row by pure strenu-
BUSINESS, there arc other places where
that quality puts her at a decided dis
advantage.

In 1890 the Serbers-father, mother,
