A very charming young matron who once lived in Montgomery and who we'll who lives elsewhere now and who was a great social favorite here, writes a friend:
 "Remember me to my friends if there are still any there who after my absence of three years, remember me. I feel sure I am quite forgotten by them all"
 She was a great social favorite, no small function in the smart set was complete without her, but did she think that meant that she would be remem- bered after departure-long after de- parture?
 Did she think that meant love? It did not, but it meant what Is dearer to a woman's heart. It meant that in the race for social prestige, she was & fa- vorite; she was valued On this race track, as on the turf. the valuable con- testant Is the "favorite." but the gam bier who bets 10 to l against her has a heart full of love for her. as does he who stakes his all on her success Per haps if she fails. he loves her better in that she has confirmed his judgment. If the "favorite' has a craving in her for affection. for loving remembrance, she must turn for 1t from her compan- ions in the race for social popularity. She must, and does, find 1t In the hearts of those who have not entered"

It from man a desperate struggle

1t from man a desperate struggle is necessary. He is a scarce commodity in society and is at a premium. She Is willing to make the necessary strug- gle.
 Man does not want attention, for, be- ing at such a premium woman surfeits him with 1t. They fall over each other doing him honor. No struggle is nec- essary. He makes none.
 Women are willing to struggle for something that Is their hearts desire and something that Is diff1cult to ob- tain. Men quietly keep away from something that Is to them a bete no!r and that comes to them without an ef- fort.

ARCHITECTURAL BEAUTY PAYS.

It well regard utility the first consideration in
making public improvements but after all ornamentaton
always nearly always, proves profitable expenditure
Edward NJ Shepard of New York gave turn to the
plea for beauty public structures the other day when
he declared that property within mile of the Brooklyn
bridge deprecated fifty millions of dollars in value
the completion of that structure simply because the
opportunity make ornamental well as useful had
been neglected
Mr. Shepard said there should be constant effort to
beaufy cities Not only would he make buildings attract
i've but would parks in attractive places,
and he would away with many of the eyesores which
found in most cities referring in that respect to
unsightly signboards and other structures.
There is business side as well esthetic side to
this question There usually objection the expend
ture of large sums money parks bOueyaTds and
other ornamental adjuncs of cys structure; yet 1t is
probably true that within generation, not in shorter
time there is return to the city treasury in taxes upon
property value is enhanced by such improvements
of a sum equal to the first cost Of them.
