W end. For the woman who wishes
to be agreeable to society naturally
wishes to make society believe in her.
But when she snubs any one whom she
considers beneath her she is giving am
pie proof that either she or her ancestors
have not been used to the grade of society
in which she finds herself; and that she
is, therefore, not what she would have
others believe.
The woman who has a right to the So
cial position she occupies, and whose fam
lily for generations has been in the same
position, will find it necessary to snub
no one-neither those whom she meets
socially and whom she does not consider
her social equals, nor those in other walks
Of life with whom she is brought into
casual contact.
Graciousness to her friends and to her
servants, to her acquaintance and to her
sewing woman, to her children and to
every n asking a favor of her, to those
who are gentlewomen and to those who
are not-that is the first rule Of conduct
for N who fulills her duty to society
by being agreeable.
The duty of making ones self agree
able to society means simply a woman's
duty to let her best impulses rule her all
the time. So this becomes a rule for gen
eral conduct as well as for social inter
course.

people Of the whole country to the same
extent as the railway. Great Britain
has retained possession Of the oriental
trade for the reason that she furnishes
the lowest rates of transportation to and
from those countries. We are now pre-
pairing to challenge her for such share
Of this business as can be furnished by
the manufacturers of the United States.
In a country as large as ours, carrying
on enormous undertakings, large mounts
of capital are necessary, and this capital
can be more readily furnished by eorpo-
rate ownership than in any other way.
The only serious objection to so-called
trusts has been the method Of creating
them for the purpose Of selling shcaves

WAS A ROSY-CHEEKED GIRL
ONE HUNDRED YEARS AGO.

This Is a picture of Mrs. David b.
Stamp, of Finchville, Orange County,
n. Y. She is a little, old, almost for
gotten woman, living in a little, old,
almost forgotten town. You would
scarcely believe to see her that she
was an old woman as long ago as the
outbreak of the Civil War; you would
scarcely believe that II hundred
years ago she was a plump, red-cheek-
ed girl playing on the shores of the
blue Hudson. and the prettiest girl.
Mt that, for many mile in all directions.
But that is exactly what she did do
and what she was, and now as she sits
among the gathering shadows of life's
twilight. waiting for the night to fall,
she can look backward across the cen-
fury and say that the world with all
its teemlng millions has been born
again since that far distant time when
she was a little girl ut play.

derbilt. Neither of them at that period
had reached the $40, 100000 limit. There
were not in the whole country twenty
people worth a million dollars. To-day
there are more than one hundred in Pitts
burg alone who have passed that figure.
These vast fortunes, themselves so con-
spicuous, so almost incomprehensible, are
at present more matters of curiosity than
of antagonism. Most of the possessors
of them have shown a wise generosity in
the distribution of their wealth. In 80
other country in the world, at no other
period, have the rich from their album
dance given so lavishly to education, phi
lanthropy and patriotism. Last year the
known sums which oele thus contributed
amounted to the high figure of $1O7 1900
600.
The sudden acquisition of almost in
4calculable riches by so many in the last
five years has produced many singular
results. The most CHASTITY misfortune
which can happen to a man who has been
successfully prosecuting and increasing
his business until he has passed middle
life is to be compelled to sell out and re-
tire. He may receive a sum far beyond
any value he ever placed upon his plant
and good will. Nevertheless, the sale is
generally accompanied by an obligation
not to resume and compete. Little out
side the factory or office interests him
because the cells Of his brain have be-
come, some of them, abnormally active,
and others paralyzed through disuse. He
can think of nothing and he cares for
nothing but the shop and its results.

considering her duty to society, is very
likely in her own mind to exile from So

know this because they occupy so many
of her thoughts.
An attempt to be agreeable usually
takes a very obvious form-that of fat
terry. Flattery is exceedingly bad form.
Flattery is the spurious coin, the gold
coin is simple graciousness. A cardinal
principle of being agreeable is to be gra-
cious. Graciousness includes, a negative
talent-the talent of snubbing nobody.
