THE CLEAN OF GOLD.

New York Mail.-It is no new
thing-this undignified crowding of
the mob to gaze at the rich. If it he
comes a more desperate game in this
great city than it seems ever to have
at any other time or in any other
country, 1t is because there is so much
less here to run after, besides money,
than has been the rule in the rest of
the world. Titles? We have them
not. Decorations? We forbid them.
Ancient honors? Very few of them.
The military? We have shrunk that
down so small and rudimentary a
thing that the people seldom see It,
and have next to no chance to pay
it this tribute of admiring interest
We have stripped life of it's ancient
glitter. We have kept nothing but
the CLEAN of gold to delight the peop-
les eye; and that CLEAN they will fol-

For The Gastsr,CabIe

No form Of centerpieee is more ap-
propriate for the Easter table than a
growing plant, true symbol OF the re-

I been known as the Easter flower, yet
any of the spring blossoms, violets,
nareissi, hyacinths. tulips, crocuses,

Stand the pot, which should be a

or cover it with a double frilI of

ribbon matching the flowers in color,

keeper.
When a growing plant of the de
sired proportions is not available, fill

handle, with cut flowers, selecting
some one variety and using it as the
motif of the color scheme of the table

great variety of spring blossoms as
can be obtained Irvine the handle

moss, vines and white violets, the lat

springing up from the bank of moss.
Make a number of butterflies of
various sizes of crepe paper and sus-

flowers.
Another floral piece is made as fol

Of the proper size for a boutonniere

end OF the ribbon long enough to reach

lined with violet-colored satin, and
run the ribons to the plates, attach

On the conclusion of the meal, at a
signal from the hostess, the guests
will pull the ribbons and each secure
a fragrant memento of a happy occa-

boutonnieres, the attrac iveness of
the centerpiece is enhanced.

New IDEAS for bridesmaids.

Something entirely original for the
bridesmaid TO carry is the shower

for the shower bouquet And by the
way IL is easier and more graceful to
carry. The muffs are big and are
masses Of white tulle. From the low
er part OF the mur hang long stream
ers of narrow white satin ribbon, and
to each streamer a spray OF lily OF the
valley is attached These NUTS are
also made up in downy marabout, and
If one wishes they may be used to in
troduce the color note in the brides
maids costumes. Faint lavender
muffs either in tulle or marabou,
would look not only exquisite hut &c

and pale pink sweet peas we're used

with little pink rosebuds and a spray

honor to.cary her flowers is to have
them tied to a long staff which she

THE MILLRAcE AND THE CHILD
Rem.

o. children's right is happiness. wrapt
in a world of dream,
For greed man filings deathly pail
quelching that early CLEAN.
Huge HI wheels juga. broad belts re-
volye, fed by the furnace-fre,
And the tiny children work their
pace
Stop wheels and hear their moan
ing,
Huge belts go round no more
Hush listen to their CRYING.
So young and yet so sore.
Home cannot hush the childrens wall.
Too tired to eat!r they cry.
(Working from dawn till evening"
"Husha-b and let me lie!"
And the mothers breath comes quick
and faint her heart is well nigh
broken,
And all worn OUT with the mill-wheers
race,
she stiles the sobs that choke.
Save the life-blood of the children.
Save the weak and auttering
breath
Ills their little graves YOU deepen,
While you amass your wealth,
Is there no father heart around you,
that such things dare to be.
Is conscience scared by lust of gold
and deadly apathy?
Gods latherhood-the righteous Fa-
ther-that will surely wake:
He will avenge the cry of babes; their
cause win undertake.
Tins surely God is calling,
That We, the mothers wake;
For this new work be willing,
For the dear childrens sake!
Coud mothers dig thes little graves,
with hand upon the purse?
Would they allow this martyr'd life;
they-the fond mothernurse :.
Would their hand give the laws per-
nit, to outweigh all for gold?
Dear lives, for which they'd give their
own; sweet lambs they'd fain
enfold
Come, let US help you brothers!
Reverse this cruel i'll!
Join hands with you, o, fathers,
Child-life with blessings fill!

His Investments.

He was only IL years old, and
hadn't got beyond nouns of the first
declension in well-known private
school for boys uptown. So the teach
er was surprised naturally enough by
the excuse the youngster gave when
she asked him why he had failed in
his Latin on three consecutive days.
Miss Blank" he asked how can
you expect a boy to study when stocks
are going up and down this way and
that way?'
And he jerked his chalk-dusty hand
up and down to illustrate the fuctu-
ations OF the market
Further inquiry by the teacher dis
closed the fact that the 11-year old
had received $50 on his birthday, and
had given it all to chum of his, who
had quit school to be a brokers Office
boy, for investment-{New York

the lily, aud have reference to this
/ legend.
A German belief points to the Hartl
Mountains as the birthplace of the
white lily. A beautiful girl named
| Alice was carried off by a wicked
lord. Just as he reached his castle
the guardian spirit of the place
wrestled the girl frora his arms. On
the place touched by the feet OF this
innocent maid sprang the white lily.
This story is believed by the peasants
OF the Hartz Mountains. and every
year hundreds of them make a pill
grimage to the castle to behold the
dazzling beauty Of the flower that
flourishes there.
Another German legend runs this
way. and relates to the red lily:
Once the Garden OF Gethsemane was
full of flowers Of all kinds, and among
them none so lovely as the splendid
lily with her clustering bells proudly
upright. 1t was evening, and the Lord
came to wax in His garden. AS He
passed along, each flower bowed be.
fore Him, but when He came to the
lily her naughty head remained erect,
defiant in her conscious beauty. The
Lord paused and looked at her for a
second. She braved the mild eye OF
reproof then slowly bent her head
while bushes swept over her. Still
the Lords gaze rested on her; lower
sank her head. deeper burned her
crimson; then tear after tear welled
up in her lily cups. At this the Lord
passed on. When morning came all
the flowers lifted their heads-all but
the lily that once as white queen
among them. Her head remained
bowed in shame. To this day she
bushes over her sin of vanity and
the clear, crystal tears of repentance
still sway in the cups of the flower
that refused to bend before the Lord.
Another legend connected with the
lily is supposed to be a thousand
years old, and is as follows: Once
there lived in China two brothers.
The eldest inherited the larger share
of the family wealth. but seized the
best part also Of his brothers, leaving
him only a few acres Of rough, pebbiy
soil, upon which nothing would grow.
except at one end. where a marsh
bore rank rushes.
Poverty and hunger drove the
younger brother to despair, and he
threw himself on his rough soil and
bemoaned his fate Suddenly he
heard his name called, and upon
looking around saw beautiful fairy,
who babe him arise, and said: Thy
patience has been seen by the gods,
and and q reward is in store for

When there were no millionaires in

Some legends Of LiIie$

The lily is regarded as saint
among flowers, and the reason lilies
are so largely used in the decoration
of churches is not only because they
are the most perfect of floral types.
but because Of their symbolic mean
ing.
One beautiful old belief about the
lily relates that the candidates for
the Virgin Marys hand, after having
sought the Lords blessing, each left
his own staff in the temple in the
evening. The next morning the dry
rod of Joseph was found green and
blossomed with lily flowers.
Another pretty legend is hat Mary.
