. A Society Luncheon.

Some one had worked hard over the or
dering of this lunch--to secure the maxi
mum of explosive effect. They called it
a 'topsy -turvy'' luncheon. 1t began with
ice cream. nodded in fancy shapes and
then buried in white of egg and baked
brown. Then there was a turtle soup
thick and green and greasy: and then
horror of horrors-a great steaming plum
pudding. 1t was served in a strange phe-
nomenon of platter. with six long silver
legs: and the waiter set it in front of
Robbie Wallngs and lifted the cover with
a sweeping gesture-and then removed 1t
and served it himself. Montague had
about made I'D his mind that this was the
end and began to fill I'D on bread and
butter when there appeared cold aspara-
gus served in individual silver holders re-
sembling andirons. Then-appetite now
sufficiently whetted-there came quail. in
piping hot little casseroles: and then half
grape fruit set in a block Of Ice and
filed with wine: and then little SQUAD
ducklings bursting fat. and an artichoke.
and then cafe parfait: and then-as II
to crown the audacity-huge thick slices
of roast beef! Montague had given up
long ago-he could keep no track of the
deluge of food which poured forth And
between all the courses there were wines
of precious brands. tumbled helter-skelter
sherry and port. champagne and claret
and liuueuf.

required living wage. they are not TO be
condemned and passed over without fur
ther consideration. The character of the
work is not SO disagreeable as in the
former group of industries, and the quail
ity of labor is decidedly superior. 1t may
be that with the Improvement in manu-
facture of woolens and silks We shall
produce a quality of goods which will
offer the opportunity to the larger num-
Der of employees of advancement to a living
wage. 1t seems as though these indus
tries might be affected indirectly by i'm
dustriaf education. either by elevating tie
industry as whole or by stimulating the
individual to find the way into the more
desirable occupation.
The third group seems TO be the best
nope of the woman wage Garner. In this.
the most important industry may be
grouped under the one classification of the
manufacture of clothing from cloth OF
other prepared materials.
In the manufacture of shoes the occu-
patlons of women are distinctly that OF
stitching and finishing. 1t is apparent
from a personal investigation of five large
firms that from one-fonth to one-half or
more of the employees receive $40 and up
wards, that from one-fourtl to one-third
receive less than IS. while one-fifth to
one-third of the wages are over Sl2. and
one-twelfth TO One-ifth range from ST.,
to $50. Judging from the women az tualy
employed. il is evident that this occupa-
ton affords opportunities for a fair pro-
portion of its employees 40 advance to II
good living wage. The operative has tho
outlook of advancement into other ma
chine trades which are more lucrative and
stimulating, such glove making. straw

Other trades having similar occupations
are in the manufacture Of fur. leather,
novelties and gloves. In the former. the
most skilled operatives on special ma
chimes are required. and have usually
gained their experience I'm the other stitch
ing trades. They receive Sl4 TO SIS a
week. The glove-na6ing trade is one
which is emanding much more attention
because of the constant and crying need

A large and robust Irishwoman appear

cute case in which her husband was
charged with having beaten her. The de-
PENDANT, a small, stoop-shouldered man,
had the appearance of having been run
through a thrashing machine, and seemed
scarcely able to stand. The judge sur
veyed the two with an amused light in his
eyes.
You say this man beat you?' he asked
the woman.
He did not" the prosecuting witness
said with emphasis, folding her powerful
arms. He knocked me down.

Eulogy of Hood.
Among the bills introduced this week
was one prepared by Senator Lee re-
quiring the publication in the annual re-
port of the controller of the names of
those who are paid for services under the
legislative expenses act. Senator Lee
tried to have this publication directed in
the legislative expenses act, but several
senator's who favored publicity feared
that the object was sufficiently foreign
to the object of the bill to make it an I'M
constitutional procedure. If these sena-
tors do not change their minds the bill
will pass the senate. 1t is an echo of
the charges of extravaganza which for
mer Gov. Warfield made against the last
legislature. Another echo of the charges
and the counter charges against the gov
ernor by President Seth was resolution
introduced in the house by republican
county providing for an investigation of
the charges, but the house, under the
leadership of ex-Speaker Benson, the
floor leader. promptly tabled the resolu-
ton.
Senator German took a hand in the
economizing program this week and led
successful fight to kill the house bill
providing for extra copies of Maryland
reports for judges. Advocates of the bill
desired that judges have copy Of the
reports at their homes in order that they
might work at nightS
The senate this week heard several eu-
lcgies of distinguished Marylanders who
died within the past two years. Those
concerning John Miffin Hood, the man
who converted Baltimore city's interests
in the Western Maryland railroad from
an investment formerly regarded as lost
into an asset that was sold for several
million dollars and was of great service
in aiding Baltimore to recover from the
effects OF the fire of 1904. were delivered
during discussion of a bill ratifying an
appropriation of $4,000 for a memorial
to Hood. After the Western Maryland
was sold Gen. Hood became the president
of the street railways system of Balti-
more. and added to his popularity by
bringing about improvements in that
system.

Statesmen Wage-Earners.

From the Boston Traveller.
Aside from the lawyers. doctors. clergy
men and others who are classed as pro-
fessional men. merchants and manufac-
turers. the insurance agents, treasurers
and Others who work for a stated yearly
salary or on commission. there are fifty
members of the legislature which meets
on Beacon Hill this week who come di-
rectly from the bench in shop and mill
and who work at trade for days pay.
This is an excellent showing, and we
venture the prediction that in intelligence.
honesty and industry these wage-earning
legislators will be found the peers of any
sent by the people of the state TO make
our laws.

Fear Of Age.
From the Geutlevoman.

FROM Inc GehtIeWofnan.
Why do SO many women regard age with
such alright? Viewed from the vantage
ground of youth. 1t seems to them that
the end of youth means the end of love.
land to manv women the end of love is
even more appalling than the end OF life.
They forget that the love which depends
only on youth and beauty is as likely to
take to itself wings in the hsyday of life
as later. Nothing is potent enough to
hold an emotion as evanescent and un-
stable as thistledown-

Millinery Work Best.

The great industry Of clothing machine
operating presents one OF our most diff
cult problems. Il is open to attack from
all sides, and yet it now employs the
largest humber Of women in the best
group of industries and the proportion
continually increases. 1t stands represent
! tative of the movement from home to fac
tory. because il is today conducted larg -
ly in factories. although formerly il was
distinctly home industry. Opposition to

the Factory, and on the other To dread
of sweated industry.
