ECONOMY OF THE RICH.

1.-THE futile economies of the rich
are very funny" said a woman, who,
says the New York Tribune, really know
what it was to strive to make both
ends meet. Far be it from me- she
continued, ito belittle the wisdom of
Saving candle ends and sich, by which
means the old distich tells us we are
sure to get rich,' but it does seem odd
to see a woman who thinks nothing of
ordering half a dozen Partisan gowns,
or paying a large sum for new hat
without a question of cost, carefully
tearing off the extra half sheets of in
Vitations as a matter of principle, and
taking the time to unite all her pack
ages for the sake of saving the strings.
Such economies are considered by some
women in the light of a positive moral
obligation, and it actually distresses
them to be obliged to cut a string,
or throw away a clean half sheet of
paper. Their penny wise and pound
foolish system of housekeeping, too,
is faire rire! The waste that goes
on in their kitchens would keep sew
eral families in plenty and yet such
people will blame their housemaidS If
they throw away their window rags,
and consider a cook eXtravagant If she
does not sift her coal. Their so-called
economy is really in a way a. super
stition, a habit of early education,
which remains with them as sort of
an obligation"

THE PHILADELPHIA
BRIDESMAIDS.

IT wonder why it is" said the fair
young debutante, to a Philadelphia
Record man, that you always see
such a bunch of ugly girls acting as
bridesmaids at weddings. I've noticed
this at every wedding I've attended
this fall, and I really can't get over it.
I've never been a bridesmaid myself,
and perhaps, I'm prejudiced, but I've
been to a lot of weddings, and at each
one the same thought has occurred to
me. 1t positively seems to me that
every bride picks out the homeliest
girls she knows to act as her brides
maids. 1 can't understand it at all"
ooh, that's easy" replied the hlase
bachelor. Every girl does that sort of
thing when she gets married. You see,
a girl, no matter how much may have
been spent on her costume, never looks
her best when she's getting married.
1t stands to reason that she shouldn't
She's nervous and upset and pale. They
all look like ghosts, and scared ghosts,
at that Naturally, it's up to them to
run over the list of their girl friends
and pick out those who have no posi-
bilities of overshadowing the bride.
That's how it came that you see so
many homely girls as bridesmaids"
II guess you're right" replied the
debutante.
The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1903-12-13

and jealously pities one she had loved
the hour before.
If the debutante of this season will
get experience without experiencing,
she may do so by accepting the assur-
ance that she never knows when she
will need her humber friends, and it
is more comfortable to retain friend
ships than to sue for them after they
have been chilled with indifference or
disdain. Life isn't all pink tea and it
would be as impossible to subsist on
champagne, real or metaphoriCal, as it
is for the soul of man ito live on bread
alone" There is a good deal of the
sawdust ring element in society; paint
to hide emotion, spangles to dazzle,
Mosques. harlequinades handspringers
and "tumblers," and bareback riding
and rough riding over hearts and fine
sentiments that no one sees. The
blare, the fanfare, will die away. The
blood grow cool once more and it will
all seem like one Carnival night. The
awakening may be sudden through
death or disaster. and you may have
to leave before the game is over. Then
you will need your friends, not the
people who amuse you with quip and
qulck-step. Then you will long for
solid comfort and the warmth of heart
and hearth.
Go into society, pretty damsel; the
exercise of dancing is wholesome If not
oVerdone, and there are high souls and
simple natures among the vain and
foolish which your perceptions will dis
cover for you if you are worthy them.
But keep your friends who wear high
eut gowns and practice short stop
morals; there is plenty of time to be
humanity agreeable to everyone even if
your prompting is selfshly anticipatory
of the time you may need them.
Youth is always shortsighted, but it
may learn not to be. Think how hard
it must be to ask a favor of the man
or woman one has treated with gem
teel contempt if for no reason at all!
AS for the girl who isn't in the
maelstrom of giddy first season, let
her keep on with her duties, her stud
les, nor spend an instant in repining
She is having much the best of it in
the preservation of a complexion to
which late hours and suppers are GER
tain destruction and she is putting
furniture into her brain that won't
wear out if rightly used, in this world
or the next. Her friends, her chart
ties and her pleasures will be not any
the less cherished BECAUSE they are not
of the smart set, and, who knows, her
delivery may be Gods way of setting
his seal of far advancement upon one
who has lived through folly in another
incarnation.

A SAD MOMENT
IN A GIRLS LIFE.

One of the saddest moments that
can come to young girls life, says a
writer in the New Orleans Times-Dem-
ocrat, is that in which she realizes
that the classmates or outside friends
who have long been her intimates are
heartless young snobs who do not con-
slider her possible at all in the as
sociation of later life. Girls grow up
together, are on an equal plane be-
tween the ages of eight and eighteen,
whether they are rich or poor, plain
or comedy, their pursuits and inter-
ests similar. and themselves practical
ly on an equality. Then the social
debut comes as a disturber of con-
science to the youthful snob and a
heart-breaker to the socially ineligible.
The social success of a girl with
wealthy parents, who entertain lavish
ly and aCcoutre her for her first sea-
son like a lily of the field, is fore
gone conclusion. The men who dine
at her home will, of course be atten-
tive at other entertainments, and as
sure her "call-outs" at the Carnival
balls. Her debut season is a triumph
and she has scarcely to be amable
to assure it. She has only to accept
the goods that gods provide to be
very popular. With the rank and file
of maidens, however, ii is quite differ
ent, and 1t depends much more upon
themselves whether they become per-
soma grata in society or gradually drop
out of the running with former ASSOC
ciates. And yet it does not always
depend upon themselves, either, for
many girls of attractive appearance
and good manners never have a chance,
simply because her father may be
plodder and her mother a trump,
neither in sympathy with her longing
for a season." nor able to afford it
if he were. Then she begins to no
tice change in the luckier girl. There
is an offishness of eye when they meet
and high-voiced levity if old times
are discoursed upon. The debutante
hopes no one will overhear. She is
really so rushed, don't you know, it
is quite a dreadful thing to be a de-
butante, expected to be everywhere at
once. Really, society is a bore. But
one owes it to ones family to part'ci-
pate in it, one season anyway. And
she flirts off to a tea or a milliner full
of self-importance and other little white
lies without venturing to hope that the
longtime companion would run in to
see her soon in the same old way.
The other girl has a dragging at her
heart as she stands for a moment look
ing after the butterfly evolved from the
dear, homely bookworm of school-days
She is completely out of It, a woman
of no Importance, for some reason for
which she is not responsible ineligible
to the gayeties offered superabundant-
ly to a girl just like herself. Where
in lies the justice, wherefore the pun
ishment? And she wistfully envies

DINING OUT.

She was waiting for him at the door
when he returned home from business,
says the New York Times, and he
clasped her in his arms. The honey
moon was over, and they had been just
two weeks in their new Harlem fiat.
Her delicious dinners had not yet prov
ed all that he had hoped for, but he
was good-natured about it because
their servant was little more than a
girl. The happy bride was looking
after the cooking herself.
"Oh, Dick" she said, as she took his
hat, coat, and bundle of newspapers,
I've had such a delightful day. Flor
ence has been here, and she was de-
lighted with our cozy corner, as she
called it. Then we went out shopping
together and I've the loveliest-"
Yes, yes, dear" he said, but you
can tell me all about it at dinner. I'm
a little hungrier than usual tonight
and-why, what's the matter?"
"Dick," she whimpered, 1--WE"
There, never mind, dear, if you have
spent a little more money than you
should have done. Well make it up
somehow"
But Dick, I've let the girl go out for
the evening and"
"Oh, never mind the girl. Wen wait
on ourselves, and I'll help you wash the
dishes. There, now"
But Dick, DEAR I've been so busy
I've forgotten the dinner"
And as they walked to the elevated
station in gloomy silence she wondered
why he looked so happy.

man in Denver who will look cross
eyed at a girl he doesn't know for fear
he will encounter one of the patrols.
But the crusade did not end with the
suppression of ogling and annoyances
in the streets. Miss Hardin is a bus
mess woman and she is familiar with
some of the indignities to which girls
working in business houses are sub
Jected by their employers. She pro-
poses to use her "anti-maSher'' police
to check this evil. She hopes to enroll
the girls on the "force'-to form a sort
of union against it. If it is not possi-
BILE to get the girls already employed
to serve in the corps she will introduce
pretty decoys into these establish
ments. She would have little trouble
in doing this, as pretty young women
are in demand now as shopgirls. But
just now the managers of big Denver
Establishments are rather chary of
new girls they hire, especially if they
are more handsome than the average.
They fear it is but another step in the
"anti-maShing" crusade

ADVICE ON HOW TO
BRING UP YOUR DAUGHTER

Unfortunately there is a type of
mother who seems TO think that a
daughter is always child and never
reaches an age of responsibility. Poor,
crushed creatures these young women
are. Many of them dare hardly call
their souls their own. They are not
allowed to choose their friends--the
mothers see to that-and the conse-
quence is the girls are probably made
to consort with companions who haze
no tastes in common with them. and
the unhappy girls are deprived of one
Of girlhooPs greatest charms -congen-
ial company.
But some mothers go a step further
than this: they will, says the New Or
leans Times emocrat, not allow
daughters to invite friends indoors.
The girls are allowed to attend at this
house, that house, and the next house;
but as for inviting the girls of these
houses in return, that they dare not do.
Naturally the unfortunate girls get
talked about, and in time wear Il
crushed, disappointed look.
The young women are brought up in
such a manner that male society is
locked upon as a positive sin! and the
years pass and they find out one day
that they are old maids, and nothing
more: but the mothers still keep a
tight hold of the reins.
AS for housework. why the mothers
won't trust them to do anything in this
line, and so they grow up useless in
every way.
What if the parents die? What be-
comes of these unhappy girls? They
can do nothing, and If the fathers die
first, and the mothers follow. and the
girls are unprovided for, their outlook
is indeed a blank one.
A mothers duty is SO to raise n girl
that she will turn out a useful MEM
Der of society-one ready to take up
the duty of wife and mother; but IL
parents persist in crushing daughters,
and treating them constantly as chill
dren, the girls become failures in life,
and through no fault of their own. The
natural tendencies. the individual bent
of mind. being stunted, one can only
expect the girls to grow up insipid,
sickly types of womanhood.

A SEAT AT THE OPERA.

There are more ways than one of
getting a seat at the opera
A smartly dressed young woman,
says the New York Sun, has shown the
first balcony folks new and. excellent
way that, however, is not likely to be
largely followed.
She came ir on an admission ticket,
with a fine. large hat on her head, a
book and a little bundle of papers in
her band and snug little suit case.
Having selected her spot where there
was standing room near a pillar, she
took off her hat, opened her suit case,
which was seen to be nearly empty;
placed the hat and bundle of papers in
side. made the case secure, turned it
carefully up on end, seated herself
comfortably on the case, opened her
libretto and proceeded to follow the
opera with comfort and composure.
Those who saw the little comedy
looked to see an usher or some one else
in authority interfere with the arrange
ment of the young woman, but nothing
untoward happened, and she was suf-
fered to hear the opera through.
Perhaps she had seen the usher
first. Perhaps she had smuggled the
suit case through in the crowd, so that
it escaped the eye of those in author
ity. Perhaps she had made her prepa-
rations to seat herself when she knew
no usher was looking" knowing that
when she was seated her skirts would
conceal the suit case.
Whatever accounted for her immu-
nifty from disturbance, she heard the
opera as comfortably as those about
her, who paid twice as much for seats.

FORTUNE IN MAINE SKUNKS.
Worth Twice as Much I'm the Market
as the Honey Bee.


Bangor Correspondence of the Phila-
delphia Record.
It will no doubt surprise many peo-
pie who learn that the despised skunk
is worth twice as much to Maine as
is the much-admired honey bee, but
such is the fact; and, counting things
at their actual worth, the skunk Is
worth about as much as all the deer
killed in Maine in a season. The skunk
is valuable both for his fur and for
the oil that is in him, and both the
oil and the fur are in ever-increasing
demand.
Fashion in furs regulates the price
of skunk skins. Four years ago the
coat of a dark skunk was worth from
$3.50 to SO, and the demand exceeded
the supply. Since then the muskrat
has come into favor, and the price of
skunk skins has fallen to about 81 for
the best. When, however, there are
dozen fat skunks to be had on every
acre of meadow land. when a hard
wood club is the only weapon needed
for killing them, and when every fat
skunk contains at least a quart OF oil.

HOW HIS HAPPINESS
WAS SECURED

The coil of circumstances, says the
New York Tribune, which putt a
young man in a very unpleasant pre-
dicament, but which in the end brought
about his best happiness, is rather in
teresting to the friends of young mar
ried couples, and goes to show how
curiously one thing hangs upon an
other in this incomprehensible life of
ours. If Mrs TiptOp's youngest daugh-
ter had not had her eighteenth birth
day in December, the Tiptops would
never have given their much talked of
fancy dress ball for her debut. And
if Caroline had not desired to i'm
personate Undine it would not have
occurred to her to cable her cousin
Jack Smith, who was taking an archi-
tectural course at the Beaux Arts in
Paris, to buy her S25 worth of sham
pearls and send them over to her at
once. Furthermore, if the sister of his
particular chum, Tommy Stewart, had
not made a point of her youngest
brother coming home for her wedding,
it would never have occurred to Jack
to ask Tommy to take over the lovely
pearl parure which he had purchased
for his cousin, which had cost only
100 francs. but which, reposing on it's
blue velvet bed. might easily have de-
ceived an expert.
There is no need to declare it,"
said Jack to inexperienced Tommy.
THAT may delay you and give you
some trouble, and l know you will
want to catch the first train to Chi
cago. Just stick it in the pocket of the
topcoat you are wearing, and you will
not have the least bother. When you
are once off the ship. leave it at the
nearest express Office. The address is
on the outside box, so you really will
have nothing to do"

Tommy accepted the commission
with alacrity, pleased to be able to
oblige his friend, and as he was half
way across the Atlantic before he gave
the packet a thought Suddenly, with
out rhyme or reason, he began to feel
a little nervous about it. Suppose the
pearls were discovered, who would be-
lieve his assertion that they were
sham? The inference naturally would
be that he was smuggling in valuable
gems, and, although, of course, he
could prove his position, still he might
be not only detained, but placed in a
very disagreeable dilemma for a time,
besides appearing in anything but an
advantageous light to his fellow pas
sengers. To put a box in ones pocket
containing jewels and walk off the ship
certainly required sang froid. and Tom
my did not feel at all sure that he
had sand" enough to attempt it.
Perhaps" he thought, 'it would be
better to take the case out of the box.

and, in act, might be a meerschaum
