Women Here Waste Thousands ot

The American tendency to excess is
exenlplif1ed i'm the deadly business
rush of the men money makers, as In
the extravagant dress Of the women
money spenders. Men In middle life,
comfortably rich, drop dead of heart
disease in the headlong pursuit of
more and more money. Women who
can afford to buy more than they
need, buy to the limit. and, worse still,
wear all they buy
IT is not uncommon this season to
see one hundred dollars worth Of os-
trich plumes on one hat-six or eight
gigantic feathers such as a Maoria
chief might sport with savage taste
and savage reason. Even in church,
where, il any place, a. woman might
be expected to dress quietly. elaborate
reception gowns are worn, too bril-
liant too trimmed, too ornate in every
way. -"-
Clever, sensible Anne Rittenhouse, !"

menting on this foible Of the, Ameri-

men persist in regarding church at

many write asking me TO design CO.'S

the impossibility OF the combina lion.

ignorant was failure. The natural
love of learning which has always
characterized the race asserted it's
power even in the darkest days of Eng
lish persecution. and when Catholic
emancipation was won schools and
scholars filled the land anew. Educa-
tion is universal now in Ireland. The
Irish peasant knows how to read and
write; his sons and his daughters f1ll
the schools of the Island Of Saints. IN.
w. H." if he visits the ships that carry
the Irish emigrants from Europe to our
shores will find that the Irish boys
and girls write a better hand, know
how TO keep accounts and read better
than the pampered pupils of our own
ignorance in Ireland now. The people
are poor owing to English misrule. but
they are alive alert, educated and COM
petent. Our merchants know this; our
business men appreciate the fact and
hence good Irish lad or a good Irish
girl Is preferred by the American pub
; lie to any other. Mark the emigrants
as they land near the Battery, and you
will find among the cleanest and
brightest and the best educated are the
Irish. Is IN. w. H." gone blind?
Nor is it true that the priests rule
them in politics. The 1rishman does
his own political thinking, II is true
that he and his priest usually agree
in politics In Ireland; but this is not
because the priest plays the "boss." )"
but because both love their fatherland
and their faith, fight for them. strive
for them and are loyal to them In spite
of English scoff, sneer, calumny or at
tempted intimidation.
| This is why M w. H." who writes
as an infldel and, like all infidels. Is
pretentious and supercilious, lies about
the Irish. The late Charles A. Dana. 4
great editor, an honest man and a
friend of the Irish, would not tolerate
