A DELIGHTFUL SOCIAL EVENT
Took Place at Harmonic Hall Last

Took Place at Harmonic Hall Last
 Evening.
 Last evening at Harmonic hall Miss Susan Brewster Whitney. daughter of MT. and Mrs. Eli Whitney, gave a ger man to thirty of her friends. The hall was decorated in pink. The toilets were surprisingly beautiful. Miss su- san Brewster Whitney was in white silk, with pink roses in her hair.
 Among those present were Miss Dim- mock, Miss Hotchkiss, Miss Parish, Miss McAdoo, Miss Baldwin, Miss Rich- ards, Miss Sargent, Miss Fitch, Miss Russell Miss Smyth, Miss Butler, Mrs. Professor Penfield dan the Misses Whitney. The gentlemen were mostly college men,
 Shepherdess hats, crooks, red silk sashes with silver trimmings, and gauge fans were the favors for the Ia- dies, and Yale flags, watch fobs and pink roses were the gentlemen's favoro. George A. Robinson furnished the en- trancing music, while Fleming served a delicious supper.
 The affair was delightful one throughout.

 Early Wednesday morning Mir. and Mrs. Miller arrived at Gregory's studio. They spent the greater part of the day there. Although Mrs. Miller frankly confessed her artistic incompetency, she had a few ideas of her own, and several times during the sale she point ed out pictures which she considered superior, both in subject and treatment, to those of D'Auber's that were being , offered at the same price. Mir. Greg ory. however. had a persuasive tongue, and by 4 o'clock he had disposed of the entire D'Auber collection for the sum of s215. Thursday morning the pictures were delivered at the Miller apartment. Friday morning Gregory received a check for the amount of the sale. Fri day afternoon Miller stepped in to, square the account.
 My fingers are fairly itching to get hold of a few dollars that have no string tied to then," he said. Let's hurry and get the affair settled up.'
 Gregory .wriggled uneasily. .'I'm afraid" he began.
 Afraid of what?" asked Miller Then for the first time he looked around the exhibition room.
 Why, great Scotti" he said, '.ain't that one of those things of D'Auber's that was taken around to our house yesterday?"
 Tt is," said Gregory.
 Miller flashed bewildered glance all around the walls
 And that-and that?" he said, indi- eating other pictures which bore the i familiar earmarks of D'Auber's gen. 1 jus.
 Yes said Gregory; they are all here. They came back this morning. Your wife wasn't satisfied with them. She wanted to exchange them for something else. She picked out the pictures to suit herself this time wouldn't even let me offer a sugges- tion. She made a good selection, too. Some of the engravings and etchings 1 she chose were really fine for the price"
 i Miller revived slightly. "Ah, yes, the price" he echoed. How much did she l pay for the whole business? ?"
 Exactly $215, and she bought them at such a closeh margin that it is inl- possible to knock down cent tol any body"
 T wonder" groaned Miller. If she caught on?"
 T wondered that myself. She didn't say anything to make me think so, but you know, Miller, that wife of yours is no fool"
 Its pretty tough on you" Gregory went on, after a little, sympathetically Of course, I'll do all can to make it easy for you. won't charge anything for handling D'Aubers pictures, but t ther's D'Auber himself and the express man-you've got to settle with them How are you going to do it?'

AN ARTISTIC ENTERPRISE.

Before he was married MT. Miller was d regular rounder. He spent all the money he had of his own and all he could borrow from his acquaint- anees, and even then he didn't have half enough. Mrs. Miller, who was q Miss Murdock of Chester, Penn, knew his reputation, but she married him anyhow.
 T am not afraid she said, when friends remonstrated against her throwing herself away on 8 spendthrift. T can manage him.
 And she did. Within two months af- ter Miller married that part of the money market in which he was directly interested was manipulated by his wife and was marked by a painful strin- gency. With her needs as an incentive for commercial activity. Miller tested his earning capacity to the utmost. He worked all day and sometimes he worked nights. That excessive energy was rewarded by decided increase of revenue which filtered sparingly through his wife's fingers instead of running generously through his own, as it had previously done.
 In the judicious expenditure of his salary Miller profited n1eagerly. Every month his wife put certain unalter- able amount in the bank. Out of the remainder she paid their board and other necessary expenses, and then, if there happened to be anything left, she gave it to Miller to buy drinks and ci- gars As a consequence of that eeo- mamie system Miller became exceeding ly temperate. Still. the general results were highly satisfactory. Within two years the Millers had enough money saved to quit boarding and go to house. keeping.
