The great curse of the wealthy
classes is that they have no work TO
do. A few, but only few, enter the
public service; but the efforts of the
few are but drops in the bucket of life.
Work is not a curse. but a blessing,
and the rich are to be profoundly
pitied because they have not the IN
MIGRATING and refining influence of
If society people want excitement
at the week-ends, let them, instead of
going into the country, spend their
Saturday to Monday in the East End.
They would get plenty of excitement
there. Let their high-bOrn women
use their beautiful voices and talents
to lift the poor struggling masses
above their squalor, and to give them
a little employment. Never mind if
they do not act from religious motive
But let them at least do some acts of
natural kindness and sweetness IN
the cause of humanity They would
go back 70 their houses after week
end in the east with far greater
change of mind, and mental rest and
refreshment, than after a bridge party
in the country
It has been suggested that this cru
sade against luxury may bring about
some of that antagonism between class
and class which existed between the
Cavaliers and Puritans; but I do not
believe that. We have all moved on
since the days of the Restoration, and
the RuTItanlSm OF To-Day IS aucu
broader and sWeeter and more hui
name than its somewhat narrowed and
bigoted character of the past, though
even in the early days many Of the
most cultured and refined people were
on the Puritan side.
The time has come when a great or
ganized protest must be made against
the Increasing and facilitating infiu-
ence of a widespread frivolity and lux
ury. To me, however a wonderful
sign that the people as a whole are
ready to welcome higher ideals is the
way that the Press are ready to give
publicity to any religious movement
They would not do 50 if religious ideals
did not awaken the interest of their
readers. The Press now takes upon
itself much of the work formerly re-
served for the pulpit, and the written
word reaches thousands of readers
who never hear a sermon. It is

have been the leaders of the nation,
and out of their ranks have come
many of our greatest statesmen the
governors of our colonies, the rulers
of the people. At the present time,
however, a close parallel may be
English aristocracy and that of the
Roman mobiles before the decline and
fall of the empire. Before the great
crash came they were still animated
by the imperial idea, but their pro-
f1igacy and personal luxury were the
direct causes of the breaking up of
their world dominion. It is a patriotic
as well as a religious duty that we
should do all we can to prevent the
blood of our English mobiles from be-
ing weakened and vitiated by unceas-
ing frivolity and sensual qualification.
than now of a pure and vigorous arts
tocracy, and it would be a great evil
if it degenerated into a plutocracy Of
wealth.
The other day, for instance, I read of
a dog show in which poOdles, valued
at many hundreds of pounds, reposed
on damaSk cushions, and were attend
ed by footmen and ladies' maids, who
fed them with expensive delicacies.
Then, again, I hear from friends of
the fearful extravaganza that goes on
at country hOuse-parties, of the large
sums lost at bridge, and of the frivOl-
ity and sometimes indecOrOus manners
prevailing at such gatherings. A straw
Will show how the wind blows, and
from such reports as these we may
see how the dry rot is already at work
in society. The same thing IS to be
found in America, as I have learned
during my visits to the United States,
political life there is in need of purifi-
cation.

and maine ruffles surrounds the face.
Finishing the hood is a cape of dotted
maline edged with Fittings of chiffon
and caught by long ends of chiffon, knot
ted at intervals and trimmed with wide
ruffles Of maline.
And now what has Madame Mode to
say about the way the debutante's hair
shall be coiffed? This, first of all, that
it must be suited to the shape of the
face. Next, that the poTnpadour is not
in good style. But in this point there
is many a girl who cares not a whit for
Madame Modes decree, for there is no
manner of doing the hair which is so
universally becoming. So a modified
pompadour, shaped into odd puffs and
parts, is very generally worn by the
budding young miss.
A pretty dressing for wavy hair
shows the pOmpadour parted at the left
side and filed in by silken rose in
full bloom. At the back the couture is
puffed all around the head, with q. braid
encircling the head just inside the puffS.
The English fashion Of braiding the
back hair has found considerable favor
with American girls, and the lines OF
braids are wound about the head in all
sorts of positions. When the hair IS
parted in the center the braid encircies
the head ike a cOronet. For this pur-
pose false hair is almost essential, as it
is exceedingly difficult to BRING the
braid of ones own hair into the desired
position on the head. II she be careful
to save every bit of combings a girl can
soon have enough of her own hair to
make one Of these braids, thus insur-
ing a perfect match in color.
Another English fashion of coiffing
the hair is in a stafly MARCHED pompa-
dour with many puffs rising above it
at the back of the head, and giving the
effect which has been popular so long
with foreign prineesses. The style re-
quires height to carry it off gracefully,
and a 77rofesSfona1 hair dresser is the
only one who can shape it perfectly.
The girl whose hair grows well over
on. her forehead is the one who can
best wear the hair parted in the mid

die. Fer the evening tiaras and fancy
bows supplement this style of couture
to add height above the face. on the
example in question tiara of rhine
stones showing huge imitation rubies
rests in queenly fashion just at the
parting of fluffy auburn locks. The
same effect can be produced also by
spreading bows having a brilliant buck
le or pin directly in the middle. One
of the most youthful coiffures Of the
season shows the hair coiffed low in
the neck with a black velvet bow and
rhinestone buckle clasping the knot.
Other Tnodish ornaments for the Golf
furs are bands and bows of tulle. Sill
yer and gold ribbon are also employed
in the form Of rosettes or quaint knots
and the tinsel camelia is IN great
favor with the debutante who can af-
ford It.
Lucky is the young woman who Is
able to don her first low neck evening
gown without some ornament to cover
undeveloped hoilows. Only a few are
sort to all sorts of fancy dog collars,
necklaces and jeweled chains. The
most appropriate Of these as an accom-
paniment to the pure white frock is an
ornament of pearls. These precious
gems are beautifully initiated now, and
a simple chain with rhinestone clasp is
not only difficult to distinguish from
the real, but it also costs q goodly sum.
In a pretty chain pendant Of rose gold
one pearl drop hangs from an Oriental
design Of gold showing jade and water
pearl settings.

Then and there i determined thence
forth to live the Simple Life. I have
lived it ever since. and, please God, I
shall live it till I die.
I would plead not only for less lux
ury in the lives of the wealthy, but for
less self-indulgence in all classes of So
ciety, among the middle and lower
classes as well, who should practice
more abstemiousness in wasteful
pleasures and in eating and drinking.
Nevertheless, it Is right that in any
campaign against the luxury of the
age we should start with the higher
ranks. It must not be forgotten that
we owe the greatness of England and
the Empire in no small measure to
the aristocracy. For centuries they
