SELF-RELIANCE A WOMAN'S
BEST AID TO ACHIEVEMENT
Weak -willed Ones Are in Perpetual Distress, and Are the First to
Fail When the Emergency Is Encountered.

~ ELF-RELIANCE is an admirable weapon with which to open an easy
arises but it loses nothing in the keeping; it might be said, o. the
contrary. to grow stronger, says Betty Bradeen. A woman who has father

ton of onlooker and exercise Ter stock of sef-rehanc oil the manage
Of her domestic staff, the small tradesmen and the dressmaker and mill
liner. She will have her hands full att that.
The selfrenant wage-earner is the n who finds work without assist
ance and keeps it without difficulty. She does lot poster her friends and C
quaintances with opportunities to use their influence in furthering her inter-
eTs but accepts it when voluntarily offered. Even then she determines to
deserve their interest in her welfare by doing her best to please her employers
There are thousands of such workers in the ranks and business changes
mean n o worse to them than a change o. employers. They carry a quiet
air Of confidence in their ability that convnces men who are accustomed to
reading human nature
The weak-wied women are in perpetual distress. They are the first to
go when a business firm feels the nee of cutting down expenses-they are
hired only Us a last resort by a dsp crate employer, who knows that he will
have to DO their thinking for them, ant cannot depend upo them the least
little bit if here is nobody % keep tn EN- u to the working pitch.
We all know them, in every line of business. 1 found n of the class

The woman had more than the average supply of patience, but, after vast

NOT A TYPICAL SOCIETY WOMAN.

Howard Gould, who married an ctess, has a tale of zoe to tell of his
marital experiences that is rected in his answer to the wifes bill N a suit
fol separation. Gould allowed his wife $4,000 a nor for her expenses,
and. if his statements are to be believed. she has lived a life of the grossest
dissipation and committed all the sins on the social decalogue. Three cock
tails before breakfast With brandy highbans, etc, at intervals, and other
liquors to fill in. are alleged to De the least of her sins, for adultery is spe
officially charged. There have been sens auonal scandals in social high hei in
New York of late and anotheri is just developing in the Vanderbilt family, but
it nus not De inferred thai h woman in this case is a fart type of the
New York society woman. The life of the stage is not conducive to domes-
tic life as many a ma n woman have learned by bitter experience and
society does not readily accept wives who are taken from the stage Nor does
a woman who becomes intoxicated with drink have a socta1. standing. The
public reads much of these scandals, but hears little of the vast amount of
good unostentauously don by hundreds ofs society women fol- charity and
philanthropy, and sees little of the virtues of their domestic lives.

is practically nothing Last night in the thirteenth week of the sssion, five
bills were introduced in the House, all based m the results of the invesdga-

bills to be passed by both houses. If there is any object in defeating them
they will not be passed. The Hahn committee performed a good work and
showed up evils in the State government that Ia partly been reformed The
State msane Hospital at Trenton is now properly managed, the State gets in

TRADE DOLLARS.

To the Editor OF the Evening Star:
Please inform me what a trade dollar
is and where one can change it.
READER.
1.-THE trade dollar was brought into
existence through the demand on the
Pacific coast for a coin to be used in
commercial relations, particularly with
China and Japan. Previous to its coin
age the old silver dollar of S71A grains
was the only one known, The new dol
lar contained 420 grains, and eventually
was circulated all over the Union, but
was retired after the Forty-fourth Con-
gress enacted that it was not a legal
tender. You might be able to dispose
of your specimens to a dealer in coins
The trade dollar of 1879, 1880, 1881, 1882
and 1888 is catalogued as worth from
s1.05 to Sis, according to condition.
