Breaking Into Society.

This breaking into society in New
York by the use of a club made of solid
gold was inaugurated by the former
Mrs William II. Vanderbilt at a time
when the Vanderbilts had not been ad-
mitted to the inside ranks of fashion
able New York. Mrs. Vanderbilt had
decided that the time had come when
a family possessing the wealth and in
Huence which her people possessed
should not be looked down upon by
those who sometimes were compelled to
wait for street ears while the Wander
bilt carriages splashed by.
Like the late iamented Hans Brett
mann. she gave a party, and it was a
party, too" 1t was conducted upon such
magnificent lines. the expenditure was
so lavish, the promises of festal gor-
geousness were so immense, that
not even the most exclusive of
the exclusive set could stand out
against them New York surrendered
upon receipt OF the first invitation, and
when it was learned that Mrs. Aston
the Mrs. Astor-had consented To accept
an invita- ton and to grace the occasion
by her presence and brighten it up by
her smile of approval there was Danger

How 1t Is Done.

The establishment of a salon is the
very latest New York fad. This is the
way TO conduct one according to a very
prominent society woman of New York.
She is the woman who has undertaken
TO steer the wife of Senator Clark of
Montana. through her first social season
IN New York, and she was sponsor for
Mrs. Andrew Carnegie when the latter
was a stranger here.
ITO establish a salon. said she "a
wide acquaintance is necessary. You
must know a great number OF people

NEW YORK REGARDS As RICH
There Are Dozen Men in the Metropolis Who Count
Their Millions by ores---Hundreds Have Ten Millions

~ HE tremendous amount of money
that there is in New York city
naturally causes 4 large amount
of comment, writes the New
York correspondent of the Cleveland
Plain Dealer" Whenever the possessor
of some Of these fabulous sums permits
himself TO be seen in public, he is re-
garded with the same curiosity that
would be rendered to Emperor William
or President Roosevelt.
There are a dozen men in New York
city who count their millions by scores;
hundreds who possess ten millions,
thousands who are above the million
mark, and an endless number who can
count up a quarter or half million. In
some communities the gentlemen last
named would be regarded as very wen
fixed in a financial way; but in COM
parison with these larger sums, they
seem to amount to nothing at all.
1t was the late Col. William 2.
Thompson. of the Standard Oil Com
pany. who left Parkersburg, w Va.
and went to Cleveland for a time, and
then removed 10 New York. Some one
spoke to him on one occasion as being
one of the moneyed men OF New York
city. The colonel laughed and an
swered:
When l lived in West Virginia, the
people about me regarded me as a very
rich man. When I took myself and my
money to Cleveland, I was regarded as
weIl-to-do. but nowhere near the large
number of men who were there re-
garded as rich, When we were trans
planted to New York. 1 found that in a
financial sense. l was nobody. My
small accumulat atoms had shrunk to al
most nothing in comparison with those
whom New York regarded as rich men"

How cheap-Not how good is the watchword of. many mer- chants. Tn yesterdays chat we suggested the danger in using canned meats which had deter iOrated with age: of course the best brands of goods will be- come unfit for food when old. For instance condiments such as catsup, pickles and many kind of of sauces lose their zest and fla Vor becoming harmful when old. The right thing for the mer- chant to do when an article is not just right is to tell the pub lie candidly that such is the case and not sell t for good: For instance We have a small stock of Long's Preserves which are a year old, we do not sell them for the best or endeavor to ruin the brand but candidly tell our cus- toners: "These are old goods and the price is cut because of it." Remember the greatest joy in life is good health, why risk that by abusing the stomach with unwhOlesOme food because it is cheap. Abundant prosper ity is upon us; prepare for it by building up your system with pure wholesome food. You may lose more dollars than you can ever save by providing Eour family with cheap, aduIterated eatables.
