was that made Saturday by Mrs. A. c.

That mine was this visage smiling
Tell me, where has that high look gone,

And the radiance all unshaded,
Yours was a beautiful soul, / ween,
How has its calm faith faded?
Can 1t be true that 80 long ago

Tell me, did | those fancies know
That make up a child's pure story?
Dear little girl, with the ideals high,
Facing life's struggle bTavely,

That your eyes search mine so gravely?

the Engagement of a debutante was to be
announced. there was quite a flutter of
excitement. and 1t was discovered that
the debutante spoken of was not the only
one who was receiving considerable at
tention from an out-of-town man. And
then something more was discovered, there
were two out-of-town men. one from Iowa
and the other an army officer from Kan

churches which observe Lent, they belong
to the same social set with people who do

It is notorious that Lent is little observed.

Excepting the social affairs given in
honor Of the winter brides and a few
visiting girls, there seems little in pros
pect for the rest of the month, excepting
informal affairs. Some of the debutantes
are out of the city and the younger set is
turning to informal affairs. Skating par
ties and other outdoor sports are also
gaining in popularity. Theater parties
have been especially popular during the

The WEALTH OF FRANCE

NJ. Leroy-Beaulieu estimates the pre-
sent wealth of the French people at $40.
O0O, 900, O00 or more than fl, 100 for
evey man, woman and child He be
lieves the estimate to be Il low one, be
cause the succession taxes OH which il
rests are largely paid on undervalua
tions. He says that because of natural
thrift France adds yearly about Il bill
lion dollars to its fortune.
The census bureau estimate of the
wealth of the American people in 1901
was $107, 600, 100000, being $l,31O pei
capita. Between 1890 and 1900 the
people of the United States added
twenty-three billions to their joint for
tunes. That was over two billions a
year. If they had been as thrifty as
the French they would have added
much more. But they are given to en-
travagance and pure wastefulness
Their losses through fire alone would
bankrupt less prosperous nation.
Half of the wealth of the American
people consists of land, improved and
unimproved. The area of France is only
100000 square miles and that of the
United States three million square miles
So it is largely because of it's greater
number of acres that the United States
leads France in aggregate wealth. But
when it comes to matter of fluid,
loanable wealth France occupies posi-.
tiOn in which IL is beyond the reach nf
/ IMMEDIATE American rivalry.
The annual savings of the French
people cannot oil be invested at home.
There is Il large surplus which must
seek employment abroad. Thanks to
these SURPRISES, France has become ''the
worlds banker" NJ. Leroy Beauiieu
says France has an annual income of
1850, 100000 from foreign holdings,
principally government stocks. There
is some reason to believe that the income
drawn by Great Britain from it's foreign
Investments is decreasing, while the
sum of French holdings has about doub-
led in fifteen years. France has an enor-
nous public debt, and taxation is severe
but its financial status is enviable. To
1T the bankers of other countries turn
for aid when hard pressed. The United
States may call itself weather. than
France, but the monetary panics and
desperate struggles to get currency
which are witnessed here too often are
