Miss Raveline rose for the last

you so much for your candor," she
said loftily.
"But-but we haven't seen this

then, ignoring my remark, took one

MEAENEss OF THE RICH.

/ here submit, writes Cleveland
Maffett in the June number of Sac
ceSs, there is reason for certain Sc
verify of judgement touching the very
rich, especially the ostentatious rich,
because the great sums they lavish on
pleasures and show are spent selfshly
and for self-glory, with only harm
resulting, and, Furthermore, because
many of our millionaires are neither
very generous nor very public spirited.
When I say they are not generous,
I am putting it mildly, for there is
evidence enough that some of them,
when there is no question of display,
are positively mean. Of course, it is
notorious that the rich are often scan
dalously slow in paying their bills.
I recall one instance where the wife
of a mu1ti-millionaire (she was after
wards divorced) took no notice, month
after month, of a bill amounting
to over twelve thousand dollars for
her daughters wedding trousseau, and
this bill was not paid for more than a
year after the ceremony, and only
then because a resourceful collector
"held up" the multi-millionaire him
self in the street one day and finally
got his check.
know rich man who lavishes
thousands on his stables and art col
lections, yet grudges his daughters
pocket money. And lady of my ac-
quaintance once crossed on a steamer
with two rich women in the ultra
smart set, who put their maids in the
steerage to save few dollars and pro-
tested angrily when the purser told
them they could not have the services
of their maids unless they transferred
them to the second cabin.
have been told of several rich wo-
men in the smart set, two of them
very rich, who are wont to haggle
over prices in the shops as if they
were in genteel poverty. One of
these ladies, whose snowy Newport
fetes are widely proclaimed, tried, on
certain occasion, to "beat down" an
estimate for candle shades, favors, etc, /,
that she wanted in hurry for din
per dance, and having failed in her eff
fort, she finally exclaimed: why,
you oughtn't to charge me a cent for
these things! Think of the adver-
tising you can get out of it If you
treat me right I'll see that your place
is mentioned by all the reporters r.
And another, whose husband is one
of the richest men in the world, ac-
tually wept before a Fifth avenue
dressmaker in her pleadings for re-
duction of fifteen dollars on the price
of certain garment that she simply
had to have but couldn't afford, she
declared, out of the small allowance
made her by her husband.
When was at Newport last sum-
mer people were laughing at the lat
est petty economy of this same hus-
band, who is certainly one of the
closest" of our idle millionaires. He
had heard of a new aluminium paint,
warranted to keep shiny without much
rubbing, and he had forthwith given
orders that the brasses on his beauti-
full yacht be smeared over with this
paint so that he might reduce his
payroll by the wages of two sailors
previously needed to clean these brass
es. This gentleman income must be
at least for million dollars

SECRETS OF THE HAND.

The handshake of some people
makes you think of accident and death.
Contrast this i'll boding hand with
quick, skillful, quiet hand of nurse
whom I remember with affection be-
cause she took the best care of my
teacher. I have clasped the hands
of some rich people that spin not and
toll not and yet are not beautiful.
Beneath their soft, smooth roundness
what chaos of undeveloped char
acter
And this is my private science of
palmistry, and when tell your for
tune it is by no mysterious intuition
of gypsy witchcraft, but by natural,
explicable recognition of the embossed
character in your hand. Not only is
the hand as easy to recognize as the
face, but it reveals its secret more open
ly and unconsciously. People control
their countenances, but the hand is
under no such restraint. 1t relaxes
and becomes listless when the spirits
are low and detected, the muscles
tighten when the mind is excited or
the heart glad, and permanent qualities
stand written on it all the time.
AS there are many beauties of the
face, so the beauties Of the hand are
many. Touch has its ecstacies. The
hands of people of strong individuali-
ty and senitiveness are wonderfully
mobile. In glance at their finger
tips they express many shades OF
thought. Now and again I touch a
fine, graceful, supplemented hand
which spells with the same beauty and
distinction that you must see in the
handwriting of some highly cultivated
people. I wish you could see how
prettily little children spell in my
hand. They are wild fowers of
humanity and their 6nger-motions
wild flowers of speech.-Helen Keller

IF THE editor makes mistake he
has to apologize for it, but if doc
tor makes one the undertaken kindly
buries it for him. If the editor makes
one there is law suit, swearing and
the smell of sulphur. but ifthe doctor
makes one there is funeral, cut
flowers and the smell of varnish. The
doctor can use a word a yard long
without knowing what it means, but
if the editar uses it he has to spell It.
If doctor goes to see another man $
wife he charges for the visit, but if
the editor goes to see another man S
wife he gets a charge of buckshot.
If the doctor gets drunk it's case OF
overcome by the heat and if he dies
it's heart trouble. When an editor
gets drunk it's a case of too much
booze and if he dies it's case of de-
lirium tremens. Take your choice
but our advice is be a hod carrier.
