The Worries Of a Wealthy Woman

by her daughter. but she also strengthens her
own position. a woman who has duke for
son-in-law is very important parsonage, and
one whom no one afford to treat with any
thing but the greatest respect and considera-
ton.
In this matter of marrying off her daughters,
the struggle for supremacy is just severe and
unrelenting as it is in anything else. If Mrs.
Van FUNK secures five million for her daughter,
she must retaate by securing ten for hers If
Mrs. StuyvesantChew marries her daughter to
duke, she must marry hers to a prince. She
just has to go one better, or her enemies would
say she couldn't afford a son-inaw of such high
rank And everybody knows that the higher
their rank, the more expensive they
The woman with money has pretty hard life
to lead, and to lead it with success she must
not only possess the endurance of the day labor
er, but also the brains and the diplomatic pow
ers of the statesman She must be the go
both night and day, for if she should offend
anybody by failing to attend a reception or
ball, she would be made to feel her mistake later.
She would be omitted from a later list of invita-
tions, or she would find that some old story,
which she had thought too deeply buried for res
direction, was quietly and mysteriously going
the rounds of her set
The woman with money must have nerves of
iron, and if she has feelings capable of being
hurt, she must hide the unfortunate fact as care
! fully as she She must allow herself the
luxury of an emotion as rarely she can for
self-control is one of the prime requisites of sue
cess
The woman who has no money is blessed if
she only knew it. She can lead any mode of
| life that happens to strike her fancy, and she
can have anybody for a friend that she happens
to like. Moreover, when she falls in love, she
can marry with ugly doubt of her lover; and
when her daughters grow up and fall in love,
she can let them follow the dictates of their
hearts with clear conscience
The great difference between Eer and the wo-
man with money is that while the latter is
bound hand and foot, she is a perfectly free wo-
man. People may say that you can't get along
without money, and they may be right, but it
is equally true that too much money is curse.

having been proven to be the fittest, would be
the ones to survive
If Mrs. Stuyvesant- Chew gives a dinner run
ming into the hundreds, or even into thousands
OF dollars she must do it too. If Mrs Van Ken
ssaeer has Countess to visit her, she must
retaliate by securing Duchess. If Mrs DE
Puyster buys original Rembrandt she must
endeavor to get one too, people will say she
couldn't afford it.
1t is a constant struggle for supremacy, and
nobody is allowed a minutes rest between
rounds. They are obliged to keep at it until
they fall, completely overcome by exhaustion
Suppose that the woman with money is young
and unmarried; in that case her position is
much harder, because society expects her to
choose a husband. 1t is almost impossible for
her to- follow the dictates of her own heart, for
how she be sure that her suitor is not for
tune hunter? Wealth is not a common posses
sion, and so it would happen that the vast ma
jority of her admirers would either be out and
out poor, or would certainly have less money
than she. She will be courted and feted and
admired for years, while she is making her
choice; young men will swarm around her, and
she will never be able to tell whether she her
self is really attractive, or whether her money
is the charm that draws and holds them. She
will be unable to trust the most apparently sin
cere exterior, and if she does fall in love she
will be afraid to take the man for fear of break
ing her heart. So after years of indecsion she
finally compromises by marrying a man who
possesses exactly much money she does,
calculating down to the last penny. 1t is prob
ably loveless marriage, made solely for the
purpose of combining two large fortunes.
When her daughters are grown up, her trou-
bles begin again, only increased this time a
hundredfold. She is more afraid of the fortune
hunter for them than she ever was for herself.
Impecunious young men are avoided as if they
had the plague, and young men with money are
courted and feted in way which, in another
class of society, would be stigmatized as the
limit of bad taste.
AN IMPORTED HUSBAND.
If she can afford it, she buys her daughter a
foreign nobeman. In this way she kills two
birds with one stone, for she not only does well

Stubbs loneed to comfort her and it so hap
pened that he thought of the valentine.
It must be beauty. He did not go in for
chat with Larry off hours, now Instead, ne
hustled over to State street and studied the val
entnes in the windows. Beautiful pink SATIN
fans with silver Cupids weaving chains OF rose
buds around laughing girls There was one that
looked like her. Yellow puffs of fully hair and
big brown eyes
He went in bravely and priced it. 1t was
three fftyl lie whistled and went out AT last
he found one that suited. 1t cost whole quar-
ter and had lace paper and violets on the front
page and a place inside to write something-it
must be poetry, Stubbs knew, and he couldn't
write worth a cent
But he made UP the poetry for her. just the
same and thought he would get Larry to write
il for him. But no, his hands weren't clean and
he'd guy him. There was no one except Ills
Nobs
Stubbs stopped him as he was passing at noon
time on st. Valentines day.
Say kin you chase pen all right! ne asked
''ValentineY asked His Nobs, laughing as ne
saw the vioiets and lace paper but he took his
fountain pen out and wrote at Stubbs' dictaton;
This Sweet Valentine
Is from me to you,
And you can bet your life,
III stay true blue.
I think you're peach
And daisy, too,
And this is to say
That l love you.
"Is that all right?' he asked anxiously.
ITS great" said His Nobs. who's the
lady?"
stubbs hesitated He didn't want to make
him Jealous But pride in his hearts love over
came all scrupes.
TITS the one with the yellow pufs and the
SMILE" he returned. "She works the tiptapper
up in your place"
His Nobs seemed hardly to hear him. He still
held the valentine and was writing on It,
Its little more poetry" he told Stubbs as
he handed it back. ''She's sure to like it."
That night when Yellow Pufs bought her
evening paper, Stubbs handed her the copy with
the precious message of love carefully concealed
within.
1t was not until his lady fair reached home
that she found it. 1t was that funny little news
bow, of course, and-her only valentine.
When she opened It and read the verses, she
held her breath and read with fast-beating
heart through tears that nearly blinded her.
Stubbs' poetry first, and then, beneath 1t, in the
hand she knew well,
Forgive me, sweetheart,
The fault is mine;
Life is so short
Be my Valentine.
"GEOFFREY."
Next morning when Yellow Puffs came, she
smiled in the old, sweet way.
''Thank you" she said to stubbs;. and all the
world was sunshine to him.
When the IL o'clock whistles blew they came
out together again and there was great cluster
~ v;oiets living close to Yellow Puffs chin and
His Nobs said, as he dropped dollar in Stubbs
palm: -,
''The poetry was all right. Thanks, old man" "
And Stubbs wondered how the wires had got
twisted.

WHAT IS COURAGE?

The food is required by the stomach; the inner
man having been satisfied, the owner grows more
valiant
Curiosties of courage may be found in other
directions; women have shown splendid bravery,
and yet have been frightened almost to death
by blackbeetle. 1t is often told of Lord Rob
erts that he is afraid of cats.
These facts suggest that courage can be taught
We grow up afraid of certain things because we
have either been frightened by them in childhood,
or have never been taught TO face the uneanny
with determination.
The too-frequent threat to call in the bogy man
is distinctly injurious. Shutting a nervous child

Courage comes in when can estimate coolly
the chances of going through an ordeal, recognlzr
ing that success is not undeniably sure, and then
boldly undertaking the task.
That is the kind of quality which we want to
incucate. Is it possible to inst courage, to
teach it thoroughly as, for instance, the manip-
uation of the typewriter?
1t may seem queer thing to say but keen
students of human nature assert that bravery
depends upon apparently trivial circumstances.
A man, says one authority, is likely to be more
brave after dinner than before it, and that diff
ference is not due to his having mbibed what
is called Dutch eOurage"-in other words, drink.

band is not in society, and as Geraldine has no
family connections" it would never do for her
to be seen with Geraldine in public. Now, if
she were just the ordinary, everyday woman,
she could have anybody for a friend that she
happened to take a fancy to-
If Geraldine had daughter, the woman with
money would like very much to do something
for the daughter, but, unfortunately, she is tied
hand and foot. She may know any number of
young men who considered 'catches," but
if she introduces them to the girl, she must
thereby announce her indorsement of the girls
mother, If she wants to put the girl in the way
of earning a comfortable livelihood she must
do it in an undetermined way to speak, for
a wealthy woman can be charitable only to the
very poor, and that only in impersonal way.
She would like to do great deal for the
Smiths, but to quote her own words she cannot
afford it. 1t would probably cost her her So
cial position if she did.
GUARDING THE FAMILY SKELETON.
If she has any skeleton in her family closet
she is kept very busy trying to keep the closet
well under lock and key for she has lots of en-
emies who are ever the alert for anything of
the sort, ready to ruin her in society at a mo-
ment's notice. A woman with inst ordinary
share of this worlds goods does not have so
many enemies, and so if the skeleton in her
closet comes to light it will only be at the cost
of small scandal and nine days wonder, and
with the exception of few wounds she will go
about her accustomed duties and OF
life just as she did before.
Everything that the rich woman does is
watched and commented on People know eX
acty when she gets up and what she has for
breakfast, well as what she does all day, in
cuding the hour at which she retires for the
night The life she leads is not a natural one
but one that is trimmed and dressed up for 9th
er peoples inspection.
She is compelled to watch her neghbors just
as closely as they watch her. 1t is case of the
survival of the fittest, and if she to rela'

@0EW persons ever wonder where clothes
pins come from; few ever heard of
Bryant's Point, Me-, and yet man
iENNfS8I there has been quietly turning trees
into clothespins for years and supply
ing the world with them amassing in the process
as comfortable fortune many man makes in
a more pretentious business in some money cen
tres His name is Lewis Mann, and he began
with capital of $4O0, with which he purchased
an old disused mill and began the manufacture
of cothespins. Today he is the largest indvid-
ual maker of this very necessary article In the
world.
How large the clothespn industry really is may
be gathered from the fact that no less than L.
25O,O00 five gross boxes manufactured every
year in the United States alone Much of the
best machinery now used by Mann is the result
of his own inventive genius and that OF his son
Edwin Nlanns machines turn out 3OOOO,OOO
pail handles, while of hgh-grade clothespins
they produce more thon $4,000 fvegross boxes, or
36,000000 year
In the winter great piles of birch logs are
accumulated about the mills to feed the great
saws which snip them into two and one-half foot
lengths as easily as though they so many
matches. These lengths are rapidly split by an
other saw into thin slabs, which are in turn con
verted into long thin, square strips by gang
Deft hands toss these'strips on revolving drum ,
which bears them against still other saws and
turn them out in the form Of oblong blocks.
Falling onto a moving belt, the blocks are whirl-
ed away to a number OF lathes. II the blocks
are to become pail handles they bored and
turned in most ingenious fashion at high rate
of speed; il they destined for clothespins the
boring is of course, dispensed with and they are
simply turned into the desired shape.
From the lathes a belt conveys the clothes
pins to "slotter.' which rapidly cuts the slot
the pins emerge with two symmetrical legs and
are swiftly borne by still third belt to the up
per floor, where they and the pail handles ar,
dried in vast heaps at high Temperature in this
dry ROOM bleached with sulphur and finally pol
ished with wax in a huge revolving drum. Theme,
they descend again to the packers, and all thu
pins that are not rejected are packed in boxe
labeled A or b, according to quality
The rate Of production is amazing yet few arr

A distinetion must be drawn between con-

spending it, than have so little that
they would be kept awake devising the means
of making the little cover great deal of ground.
But if they were given their wish at any time,
they would pray most devoutly that it be taken
away again,
A humorist has said that a rich woman misses
a great deal in life because she never enjoy
the pleasure of buying something for a dollar
down and a dollar a week As a matter
of fact she has so many duties and obligations
that she misses a great deal more. Many of
these duties, it is true, are chimerical and self
imposed, but nevertheless they cause her
great deal of trouble.
If she has money, she naturally wants to get
into society, Now, it is just difficult for a
nouveau richie to break into society as it is for
an alien gentleman to enter the Sultan's harem,
and not half as easy as it is for burglar to
break into a bank. The latter has his tools al
ready prepared, whereas the nouveau richie has
nothing but her money, having neglected to pro-
vide other means much more to the point than
her money.
PENALTY OF WEALTH.
The woman in moderate circumstances knows
nothing of the snubbings the heartburnings and
the pangs of envy and hatred that fall to the
lot of the woman with money. She reads about
her in the Sunday papers with just as much in
terest as she does about the strike in Russia
and then puts both aside for the bargain adver-
tisements which last contain much more inter,
est for her personally.
But suppose the woman with money finally
does succeed in getting into society. Do you
imagine for one moment that her troubles end
there? Not at all, Like the man who gets
married her troubles are just beginning
In the first place she is kept very busy try
ing to maintain the foothod she has gained
She may be personally very much attracted by
