The nutritive value Of any fruit
depends chiefly upon the starches
and sugar which it contains. Dates.
:plantains, bananas, prunes, figs and
grapes contain the most starch and
sugar and therefore are the; most
nutritious foods. Cherries, apples,

contain considerable vegetable acid,

WEALTHY GIRL Is "A LHBOR LEHDER

Miss Margaret d. Dreier of Brooklyn,
N. Y, is probably the first young
woman of wealth and social position
to ally herself with a trades union. For
nearly a year she has been member
of the Board of the National Woman's
Trades Union League, of which she is
now treasurer, and at the annual meet
ing of the New York branch of this
association held recently she was
elected president.
Miss Dreier Is the eldest daughter OF
the late Theodor and Dorothea A
Dreier of Brooklyn. Miss Dreier and
her sisters and brother inherited great
wealth. The four sisters, Miss Mar
garet. Miss Dorothea, Miss Mary and
Miss Katherine, and their brother, H.
Edward Dreier, are we'll known in
Brooklyn social circles. All the sisters
are interested in philanthropy, and Miss
Dorothea and Miss Katherine are ar
lists of ability.
Miss Margaret Dreier has long been
actively identified with many sociologi-
cal enterprises, and. as president of the

one who is responsible for the prickly
barrier of conventions which seem to
the Impatient suitor an evil spell.
Probably she as well as old Dame Ma
ture knows what she is about.
The wedding is for the bride.
Everybody knows it, even those who
hesitate about admitting the fact. 1t
is for the brides sake that the short
quarter OF an hour which the mar
riage ceremony actually takes is
raised above its ordinary market
value as mere time and becomes the
most expensive quarter of an hour in
parental experience.
All the pomp and circumstance of
the conventional wedding is full of
symbolism to the girl who feels that
the rite is the conservation of her love.
Vanity becomes a humble handmade
en- OF sentiment.
The bride does not glory in her rich
gown, with its train and its expensive
accessories, chiefly because it is con-
spiouous waste of goods. although this
fact may crafty her pride, but be-
cause it is her wedding gown. the
gown that means more to her than
any other which she will ever wear
in all her life.
She does not covet orange blos-
SONS for her bridal wreath because
of the languorous sweetness of their
delicate beauty or because it is so
hard to get them. She wants them be-
cause they are
Flowers Of the bridal veil, whose paIpitating
breath
Sweeps organ-voicsd, through palpitating
aises
In happy hours"
Not one girl in ten would wish TO
two-step into marriage. The solemn
strains of "Lohengrin'' suit we'll a
brides young mood of mingled fear
and faith. The occasion is not an
hour of careless joy. 1t is serious
moment of coronation, which requires
setting worthy of the crown. Rarely
would girl take away from it par
ticle of its traditional pomp-provided
her father is able to foot the bills.
A mother understands all this.
Whatever of romance her own life
held she puts into her daughters we'd
ding. She finds her youth again, hid
den away mysteriously in snowy
heaps of lace and muslin, or in the
long, smooth folds of sun-shot silk
and ivory satin. Memories of her
girlhood dreams come back to her
like snatches of an old sweet song
But over her sympathetic ex-
citement hangs always, like a
cooling mist, her motherly So
licitude, touched with the worldliness
which comes of living in the midst of
worldliness. Wise through expert
ence, she multiplies with jealous care
the thorns about her precious rose,
thus to make it's sweetness sweeter
and its beauty still more beautiful

While we must know the history of

The farmers status has not only a
financial and commercial aspect. but

AS a farmers wife these truths have
been emphasized to me, when not one
of my six babies, before it could walk

women than men. The ages have given
womankind social faculty. Consequent
ly, when woman lacks it, it is much
more noticeable than corresponding
deficiency on the part of a mere man.
A we'll known and highly esteemed
resident of another city, himself an ex-
tesy, has for wife woman whose ten
dency to say just the wrong thing can
hardly be overcome. A woman of the
kindliest feeling, it is continually
bringing her into situations which
would be intensely embarrassing if she
were at all aware of them.
For instance, modest young man
approached Mrs. Fairbrother at an
afternoon reception not long ago, and
the following conversation took place:
L am Mr.. Castor, Mrs. Fairbrother,' -
said the young man, not quite at ease;
dent you remember me?"
NO" said Mrs Fairbrother, with en-
tire candor, after studying him through
her lorgnette for long moment.
.'But-but-I was introduced to you,
Mrs. Fairbrother.'' he stammered.
'Oh, yes, | remember that" said the
lady.
She did not mean that at all, but it
left those who heard it gasping.
Il am going to give a public reading
next week." a young lady OF much
literary talent said TO Mrs. Fairbrother
a week or two ago.
From your own works. inquired
Mrs. Fairbrother, interestedly.
Yes, said the young woman of let
tiers. pleasantly.
TT is Lent. isn't it?" commented Mrs
Fairbrother, sweetly.
1t Is difficult to jest with talent like
that. Two young men were going to
dine the other evening, and they ask
ed an older man who was standing
beside Mrs. Fairbrother if he would GO
with them.
Il have company coming to dinner at
home" explained the man invited.
The man inviting him, seeing a
chance for little jest, said But we'll
be- company, too"
You would not be the company he
has at home" explained Mrs. Fair
brother.
Her husband had slight attack of
illness, just enough to keep him in the
house, without any suffering. Mrs.
Fairbrother herself did not mention it,
and 1t was not known outside of the
household.
Won't you and Mr. Fairbrother
come to dinner next Tuesday," asked
an acquaintance during the progress
OF this indisposition, seeing the wife in
the afternoon.
Not this next week." said Mrs. Fair
brother, with the best intentions in the
world. Il have to be very particular
where Mr.. Fairbrother goes this next
week.

AsTOR FORTUNE WILL
REACH BILLION MARK
IN Fifteen YEARS

The Astor properties now increase
as never before, writes Burton j. Hen
drick in the April McClure's. Land
values in the last five years have
jumped fifty and one hundred per
cent. The forces already described
have been especially marked since
1900. The city's population grows at
the rate Of 100000 a year. In many
sections New York has been largely
reconstructed; new headquarters of
retail trade and business have devel-
oped; public improvements initiated
since then-tunnels, bridges, subways,
railroad terminaIs-aggreg in cost
not far from s300,000.00O. There
has been a general movement of COR
porations toward New York; prac-
tically all the newly organized COM
binations. for example. have located
there. When John Jacob died, in
1890, his estate, inherited by William
Waldorf. was estimated at $3.50. .00D,-
600. If it were worth that then. it
is worth $300,o00,0O0 now. The es-
tate of William Astor, who died in
1892, inherited by the present John
Jacob, was generally placed at about
S65,000,0 900. If that were an accu-
rate figure, it must now aggregate
at least 100000, 900. The combined
Astor fortune thus increases with ac-
CELEBRATED momentum. In fifteen or
twenty years, at the present rate of
progress, it will have reached the
billion mark. And then it will go on
even faster, until the ordinary mind
is appalled, at the portentous figures.
We have seen that the S2,000.000 in
vested by John Jacob has multiplied
at least two hundred times in one
hundred years. cit has reached, at
a conservative estimate, s450.000,-
000.) II the same rate be main
tanned for another century the Astor
fortune will attain the unimaginable
total of eighty billions. We stand
aghast at such a possibility; but not
more SO than would have John ia
cob's contemporaries had they fore
seen the present reality. In 1890
John Jacob Astor was the only man
in New York who was worth a mil
lion dollars.
