rail road from Barlow station to City island, within
the limits of the city of New York, is therefore of
much interest to railroadmen. This line is only a
three mile feeder to the Harlem river branch Of
the New Haven road but its promoters hope that 1t
may prove an entering wedge to larger things.

car, which is kept from upsettng by overhead

Although not extensively adopted for passenger
transportation the monora is largely used for trav

fact an ordinary galloway is practically flexible

their system has never had fair show, but traction

sources and there is the swift race to see who can
say first:
How can she afford to dress that way?"
Clothes will wear out and the time comes when our
class young realizes although perhaps it is
uneonsciousy, that she is making gamble of life
She has had proposals. and there are men of wealth
who ready marry her. but she has been waiting
for the right She can't leave the life that has
become part of her. and she have clothes keep
on until she makes up her mind She takes chance.
"Gwendoyn, that is handsome suit" she will say
to one of her friends. Il wish you would introduce
to your tailor"
Gwendoyn's father is of the men the social
lists talk about and who has contracted glass arm
cutting coupons. So when the young woman with
that kind of introduction goes tailor she gets
what she wants and there is nothing said about the
time of the payment And the tailor being a real
artist, delights in making suit for the woman with
the fine figure particularly Gwendolyn and some
of his other wealthy customers have shapes that
be best described "dumpy"
LONG LIST TO "Do"
Of course there is no money to pay the bill, and in
the of time it is charged in with Gwendolyn's
and the other wealthy customers accounts. Other
friends introduce her to the furrer the mlner, and
she gets new outfit There are many places in
New York, it will be years before the list ex
hausted
The end has to come some time, and the happy end
ing is to have her marry the brother of Gwendoyn
some other young with plenty Of money, pay the
bills and live happily She will eventually become
of the who will sit and ask that question about
other struggling young woman, and never think
that if she would she could give the answer.

gamblers who play all they have the stake, turn
the cards with fate and risk their future on the throw
of the dice. Many of them win, for the social pan
handler of today may be the society leader of to-
morrow and may be asking other the
very question asked about her short time before.
There are different classes of these social pan
handlers, running from class A. the members of which
are welcomed in fashionable homes and who have to
decide what invitations they will accept through the
scale to the woman who lives in hall bedroom, takes
her luncheon at the food demonstrations in the de-
parent stores, writes her letters in the hotels and
prays that she will be invited to dinner.

there characteristics which every of every
class have Beauty is desirable and is youth,

THE SOCIAL PANHANDLER
There is reason for the question. Every big city
has hundreds of women-good women-who dress
well, live well and who not tell themselves how
they do it. They have reduced exact science "the
frivolous work of polished idieness" They are well
eomed-and that does not toierated-in many
homes and they have real friends. They go to the
