To brag about rich kin seems to be
natural weakness, but as a matter of
fact that is the only advantage in hav-
ing them. The successful members of
family complain of their shiftless
connections good deal in the privacy
of family councils. but there is another
side to the story: they should hear
what the poor relations say about
them. According to poor kin, rich kin
are of two kinds: those who give you
occasional costly presents out of keep
ing with your other belongings and
too grand for ordiannry use, and those
who go to the other extreme and ex-
pect you to be grateful for cast off
clothes. The first kind send an i'm
ported scarf worth q hundred dollars
to poor cousin who would rather
have a pair of four dollar dancing
shoes, or a dress pattern, which to be
made up appropriately, would cost her
two months allowance. The other
kind sen da box, express collect. filled
with old black silk dresses, two pairs
of cheap cotton stockings and red
flannel petticoat.
