The Hyphenated Name.

when lady in society secures a di-
vorce 1t is now the proper thing for her
to have her visiting cards printed with
her original family name hyphenized with
that of the ex-husband. For example,
IL Miss Amarantha Gold marries Alger-
non Smith, and circumstances compel
her TO divorce him. she must not use
cards bearing the legend, Mrs. Algernon
smith ever again but must have them read
Mrs. Goldsmith. Seems funny, doesn't
IL. that after the parties to the marital
lottery have been dishyphenized by law,
their names in the ladys case should be
hyphenated by society? But 'sech" is
life a la mode. and one must be modish
at any cost. whether of cash or manners,
or commonsense.

Depews Advice to Young Men.
From LesIie,s Weekly.

From LeSlle 8 weekly.
In his decidedly interesting and prac-
teal talk on politics before the Yale law
school students recently, that eminent
and eloquent type of the best American
citizenship, Senator Depew, advised his
hearers not to seek public office until
they had acquired a competency or start
ed selfsustaning business. The sena-
tor said that the greatest misfortune that
can happen to young man with only
character and education and no capital
is to accept office, and he added that some
Of his saddest experiences had been to
try and find places for men Of great abili-
ty who had been thrown out of office by
changes of politics at time of life when
they could find nothing else to do. mo
money" said Mr.. Depew, can legitimate
ly.. be made in public employment and
thereforesno competence can be laid ups"

FINNISH BATH is A NOVELTY
BY JOHN MARrHoL.

New York, June 11.-What hardy
perennial is human folly! It is now go
Ing on toward a couple of centuries since
the famous wit and satirist OF the age
of good Queen Anne wrote his Rape OF
The Lock- and scored the fops who were
devoted to their canes.
Sir Plume, Of amber snuffbox just vain,
And the nice conduct of elouded cane.
Lest those unfortuntes who cannot WISH
Manhattan to study the male fashiohs
should rust in ignorance, l must inform
them how to be in form. Carry your cane
under your left arm. the handle protroud-
ing behind you about on level with your
shoulder and the ferrule pointing down
to your left big toe. Crook the arm
nursing the stick to your heart SIDE
your hand holding it lightly about the
middle Some times you may carry 1t In
your right hand, If you intend to use IT,
but you must never swing 1t with the
right Your cane may be made OF al
most any kind of wood and the handle
may be ornamented with bits of silver
Gold, unless you are the son of a banker
or follower of the races, is not the cor
rect caper on a cane. For morning wear
your stick should be of ash, for afternoon
of English hazel OF wild orange, for
early evening walnut for late at night
oak, buckthorn or blackthorn. If IN
mourning, always carry a black cane;
half mourning a cloudeo one, like Sir
Plume. The odder the shape of your
afternoon and early evening canes, the
more you will be in fashion. If, however,
you are giving your canine an airing or
constitutional, you need not carry a
cane. The old adage, cave canem, APP
plies to the other fellow.

The inn which the old fur-trader
Who came from Holland in the Storage,

Would eer go hunting British peerage,

While advising the students to engage
in practical politics and to interest them
selves in the correction of public evils
the senator did not advise office-seeking
as profession or an occupation ana
the logic of his reasoning is apparent on
its face as is also the common sense OF
his further statement that practical
politics is largely taught by experience,
observation. and absorption No man is
better qualified to speak on this subject
than Senator Depew. who for well-nigh
half century almost from the day that
he left college, has been conspicuous in
public life, not as an office seeker or
holder, but as an eloquent expounder of
party principles and an advocate of high
er standards in the public service. We
agree with his conclusion that "p,i,iics
is cleaner and purer now than in wat
are known as the good old times And
If this is so it is because men of Senator
Depew S high character and attachments
have diligently sought TO make it so.

Poor little, gilded Silly Billy,
Would e'er go hunting a British peerage,
Or build a tavern in better style.
In spite of the fame of the Waldorf and
of many other great, yes, grand, hotels,
1t is curious to note how the old ram
shackle Aston keeps its hold on the visit
ing public. Since the abolition of The
New York Hotel on Broadway where
southerners used to hock-it Is now the
Broadway Central and still a good hostel
ry-all southerners or their descendants
with traditions of the ante-bellum days
frequent the Aston even more than yore.
The food there is yet good and the por-
tons liberal, more liberal than those of
its uptown competitors; but when you
are assigned to a two-dollar room In the
attick and find that your means of escape
to the street In case of fire consists of
a long, rope attached to ring In the
wall. you begin to feel a bit nervous and
to wish. a little more moderanity The
horrible Windsor hotel holocaust set
many people to thinking about the aver
age unsafetys in case of fire of many
New York hotels | have personally ex-
amined about thirty of the old-tmers
and it is my opinion that worse horror
than the Windsor is likely to occur at any
moment. ] will not specify lest ! seem
to be invidious. but ! warn people who
venture TO visit Manhattan against the
chances of being caught
in big hotel confiagration. 1 never
take a room, If can help it, above the
second fioor-and | am no coward though

Kettle Hill all alone.

RooKEFEnnER PHILOSOPHY.
Son OF the Muld-Millionaire Speaks of
Moral Responsibility.


"The kind of men the world needs
most today is, first, men of integrity
and high moral principal, and. sec
ondly. men capable of bearing respon-
sbility.
THE majority of life failures can
be traced directly to the lack of ca
pacity for bearing responsibility" said
John d. Rockefeller, Jr., yesterday
before the members of the Young
Mems Bible class of the Fifth Avenue
Baptist church, of which he is the
leader, discussing "The Ideal of Re
sponsibility," says the New York
World.
"If | had to choose between a man
of brilliance but lacking responsibility
and a man without exceptional talent
but upon whom l could rely 1 would
unhesitatingly select the latter" he
continued. 'If you ask why so many
men, young and old, are losing their
positions and are not sought after for
employment, l would give the reason
as a lack of responsibility. 1 want a
man whom I don't have to tell to do
thing and then go ana ask him,
| Have you done it?'"
Yesterdays meeting was the sec
ond of this season and brought to-
gether one of the largest gatherings
of young" men ever present at the
class meetings. Almost 900 members
were on hand, including young men
not out of their teens" and ''young
men" with white hair and bald heads.
Young Rockefeller, after opening
the services with prayer, devoted the
greater part of his talk to outlining
the plan of work for the coming sea-
son, which will be detailed discus
sion of the IA parallels made use OF
by Christ.
The young millionaire was plainly
dressed in a brown frock coat and
looked rather older than in past years
showing more reserve force.
