Dredging for Husbands.

Dredging for a husband is a develop
ment OF the time which causes much
amusement to the observant, says Truth. A
girl who occupies a good position In $50
ciety" and is intelligent soon discovers
that the number of rich bachelors of her
own standing in life is very limited, that
most OF them are almost captured already
and that many OF them will have little to
do with her.
She then commences to "dredge' the bed
of the social stream. Buried in the gravel
OF this are many rich men, the sons Of
still obscure fnanciers manufacturers or
merchants. and careful dredging often
brings some Of them to the surface. Then
the connections are generally cast back
into the water and only the valuable elder
son retained for use.
Dredging parties" have recently be-
come the rage. An expert "dredger'
spends the winter in gathering the neces-
sary material In hotels on the continent
ana in other directions and in the spring
ana summer gives a series OF at homes to
West End customers" charging a COM
mission on each completed transaction,
Thus customer" captivates "dredged''
bachelor and becomes engaged to him. II
his income is $1,000 a year the per-
centaEe is capitalized and the amount is
paid to the "dredger" on the wedding eve
by the parents OF the girl.
The 'dredgers' have hitherto mostly been
the divorced wives or widows OF knights
or haronets. but as the business is so re-
munerative many OF the best known
women in London are adopting 1t. for It is
obvious that duchess would be able Ia
rake the social deep much more effect

Pray.. Then Deals I'm bonds.

Mrs. ]. Alden Gaylord head Of bond
investment firm that bears her name, firmly
believes that financial success can be gained
in Wall street by cody business methods,
conducted through spiritual guidance. She
says she is advised by the spirit Of her
dead husband, who founded the business
she conducts.

Mrs. Gaylord to a New York Herald re-
porter, where there are so many Christian
and godly men as in Wall street. Other

Mrs Gaylord has achieved the distinction
of taking over the management of the bond
business which was founded by her late
husband forty years ago. The concern,
which occupies suite of offices on the third

lines, and expressed the confident belief
that she will make several million dollars

brokerage firms in the financial district say

business.
Seated at her desk in a spacious office,
this plucky little woman whose hair is
only slightly tinged with gray, spends her
time discussing with her clients the fota-
ton of security issues and the financing of

The SON of Grant.

General Frederick ID. Grant, who is in
command Of the Department Of the East,
with headquarters on Governors island, Is
making himself useful In a number OF quiet
ways, entirely distinct from his military
responsibilities.
General Grant is a good listener. as was
his famous father. and when he has any
thing to say he says it clearly and in so
direct a manner that everyone can under
stand what he means. He seldom appears
in uniform in public, but is always one OF
the best dressed men TO be found In New
York City, and while other men in a public
meeting will lounge about in careless man
ner as 10 position and dress, he always
sits in his chair with a military erectness,
with his coat buttoned 10 the chin and
wearing an Immaculate pair OF dark col
ored gloves His resemblance to his father
increases every year.

lie with the parasol cover is the one most
In use, and the embroidered lingerie para
soils, as rule, have smooth white wood
handles.
The colors OF the new silks and other
gown materials are delightful The coral
shades, for example, are exquisite. There
is red without suggestion OF brilliancy,
yet rich and satisfying. Other beautiful
shades are lilac, nlauve, mignonette, soft
gray and fiower-like pinks and yellows
Rainbow silks are especially alluring, as
are also the silks and chiffons with flower
printed borders.
White and black effects amount to a
mania In the early showing Of models and
fabrics and every possible variation upon
white and black checks, plaids, stripes
dots, etc, is wrought net only in woolens,
but also in silks and cottons. Some of
the very prettiest of the new silks are in
lustrous white messaline checked off in
rather large squares Of say, a quarter
inch, by a clear line Of black.
A style of waist Is being made very at
tractive at one Of the small exclusive shops
In New York. These waists are called
Jumpers by their designer. and are dis
tinguished by having no opening except at
the top. The fullness OF three or four
plaits on the shoulders explains the mode
OF getting into the waist These plalts butt
ton and unbutton, and when open turn the
waist into kind Of bag. They are very
becoming to slim figures, and are good
when used on substitutes for shlrtwaist
suits.

And can't do very WELL
I've been to school for two months now
And so some words ! know
For teacher writes 1t on the board,
And says ego" spells go"
I've learned that "r-a-t" spells rat"
And 'h-e-n" spells "hen;"
That Rover is a dog"
And BEEN" Is Ben"
My teacher says she thinks that
Am doing very WE'LL
But father spells different way,
And says, "Shl don't you tell!'
You see, my names are Alice May
And my last name is Hall,
And yesterday I spelled them out
At school before them all
Ny teacher said, That's nicely doneP
And so at home last night
I spelled them out for father mine,
And thought 1 had them right
But father said, You're wrong. my pet;
For A-l-i-c-e'

Spells sweetheart don't you seer"

But he declared, "Oh, no!
That's not the way your father spells;
Your teacher doesn't know"

Evans meant to be very good, and It
wasn't hard at first because every one else

games planned for them. After a time she
handed each boy the end OF ribbon. "You

boy plate Of ice cream and cake. Evans
looked at it longingly, then he ran away as
fast as he could go. He remembered that
mother had often said, Little gentlemen
do not want something to eat when they are
visiting"
He sat down on the stairs alone and tried
not to cry but the tears would hardly stay
back. Bert's sister came in search of him
pretty soon, but he would not go with her;

Mr.. Lees closest friends have noticed that
he has been In Joyous, though silent mood

suffuses his face:
"oh. those Goid-dust Twinsl Shall

cried yesterday. apropos Of nothing, seem

Many hundred young but learned women
students at Barnard and Columbia live
In whittier hall, which occupies a beautiful
site on Amsterdam avenue between One
Hundred and Twentieth and One Hundred
and Twenty-first streets. The annual
masked bail is given in the great assembly
room Of the hail. the students invite only
their female friends.
Besides any man rash enough to try
to enter the ball room would have to
pass the ever watohful eyes OF Mrs. Farms
worth, manager Of the hall, and OF
Mother Daniels, who, fguratlvely, OF
course, IL the incubator Of all the virtues
with which her lovely and chaste brood
is so richly endowed

Daniels.
The students, who had exhausted their
ingenuity in devising quaint and striking
costumes. gathered In a big antefoom.
The orchestra struck up march, the
doors were thrown open and two and two
the student maskers entered the hall.
There were milkmaids, shepherdesses and
fairies, Dlnahs, Topsles, Queens Of Night.
Never before did such an array OF love-
illness pass before the entranced gaze Of
a single young gentleman. The guileless
young women gave themselves up to en-
joyment.
Then a louder shout OF silvery laugh
ter echoed through the hail. The cold
Dust Twins entered. Everybody knows
them by sight. The two merry girls who
personated the helpful pair wore complete
sets OF black Hastings and ballet dancers
skirts. Their faces were blackened.
Lees hands trembled, the mask fell. A
chorused shrek of alarm told him he was
discovered.

Ewes Adam was driven as by a flaming

Game of Railroad.

The game of railroad is a good one to
introduce after playing one that requires
some mental EFFORT, for 1t is merely a bit
of the liveliest fun.
The chairs should be arranged in rows of
two, to initiate railroad car, with plenty
Of space between them, or they may be
placed around the room against the wall,
leaving the center Of the room clear.
Each player is given a name pertaining
in some way TO a railroad and the leader
Of the game tells a story In which from
time to time he mentions one of the names.
The story may be written out and mem
orized beforehand, or It may be made
up as the teller goes along.
Following are some of the names that
may be assigned, and opposite to each viii
be found directions as TO what the owners
Of the names must do when they are men
toned:
Rails-Must rise and hold out arms
straight before him.
Engine-n a boy, must rise and whistle
II girl. must run around the room once
saying "Choo-choo, choo-choo."
Parlor Car-Must rise and bow, or
eurtsy, II a girl.
Newsboy-Must walk around the circle,
calling out the papers by name.
Conduetor-Must rise and call out the
name OF some station.
Buffers and sleepers-Must shut their
eyes.
Whsels-Must rise and turn around.
Window-Must not move, but look OBJ
stinats.
Other names may be added at the pleas
ure Of the leader to suit greater number
of players.
The leader should wind up his story with
the statement that there has been a COLT
sion or that the train Is on the track
when all the players at the same time
must perform the duties assigned them
and very Jolly confusion follows. Then
they must all md seats, the leader among
the rest. with the result that one player
is left standing. This player becomes the
story teller for the next game.
