tribute to Locomotive.


There has been no single instru-
mentality Of civilization since the
world began comparable with the loco
motive. To promote the extension and
efficiency Of this means of civilization
should be the earnest work of every
nation. To hinder and embarrasS it is
a responsibility which only the igno-
rant and unthinlking, the demagogue
and the fanatical socialist can careless
ly assume. It is the greatest friend Of
the farmer. 1t did not prevent the sale
of his oats and hay, as he feared. 1t
brought to his door the great markets
of the world, and made it possible for
him to enjoy the luxuries of the rich.
It takes away to the great seaboard
markets or across the oceans his cattle,
his apples, his wheat-in a word, every
thing that he can raise that men in any
part of the world want-and brings to
him in return everything that he can
desire. 1t opens lands sealed to the
civilized world for centuries It is
piercing China from Canton to the
Yangtse and from Hankow to Picking
It has hitched China, through Man
churia, to the star of European destiny
1t mobilizes armies, it intersperses
commerce. 1t is accomplishing the
promises of the word of God concern
ing the common brotherhood of the
races of mankind.-Chancellor Day, in
Leslies's.

they made a Decline for the shoe coun-
ter, only to find that the shoes. which
were to be sacrificed at 10 cents a
pair, were children's sizes. The offer,
however, was too tempting, and in
three hours every shoe-400 in all
had been sold.
Just as a score of late corners were
leaving the store in disappointment,
one of the clerks fished out a large box
apparently filled with perfectly good
children's shoes. The women gathered
around hoping to drive good bar

The Tourist i'm Japan.

All Japanese inns. of course. charge
a great deal more to the globe-trotttng
European tourist who does not speak
the language, since he or she is not
content to travel strictly a Ia Japonaise,
and worries the entire household with
a variety of strange demands-extra
quilts to sleep on because they find
the floor hard;) an Impoverished pill
low; special food (the ordinary guest
takes what is given him and at the
hour that his host pleases and is
thankfully knives. forks. and spoons
(because he has neglected to practice
eating his food with chopsticks;) a
bath with fresh water in it (because
he will not follow the custom of enter
ing the bath as soon as he arrives:
thus getting the opportunity of first
bath and the water while it is fresh;)
and a half dozen other requirements.
He reserves his chadai also until he
leaves, and often the host mfsunder-
stands this action, and, fearing he will
get no recompense for his extra trou-
Bile, augments the bill accordingly.
These visitors not unusually treat the
mattresses like so many novel play
things. especially travellers Of the
sterner sex. who sometimes fail hope
lessly to distinguish between pro-
fessional geishas and ordinary maid
servants.-Vera Collum, in Wide World

The Expensive Debutante.

The Expensive Debutante.
New York has a tradition that all
debutantes must be brought out in No
vember and December. There must be
no left-overs for January, which is the
month of the ball and the dinner dance.
In London or Paris there are some
times six or seven dances in one even
ing during the season. People pass
from one to another showing them
selves for a few minutes here, having
supper there. and perhaps appearing at
another place before going home.
In Paris I believe the dances given
for debutantes are called balls blancs,
and at them there are many chaperons,
for a French girl as rule is seldom
left alone with a man. However, today
I hear that the rules are less rigid than
they were in the last generation.
The bal blanc is not as tiresome, per-
haps, as the eception-invariably held
in New York in the afternoon-but the
last named entertainment is at least a
meeting place for old friends: AS
rule there are too many invited, the
rooms are apt to be close and the re-
freshments are sometimes on too lib
era1 a scale.
Champagne is a wine to be taken
moderately at dinner, at supper or at
wedding receptions, otherwise 1t is not
the best form to serve it before candles
are lighted, when punch, orangeade
and mineral waters are quite sufficient.
The luncheon for debutantes is a new
autumnal leaves In a Vallambrosa-
Each city has its assembly or its series
Of dances. and years ago girls who
came out only in this way, that is
without any special entertainment be-
given for them, were said to have made
their debuts by subscription. It was
cruel way of putting it, but at any
rate every girl is now determined 70
have a separate entertainment, whether
it is a simple tea, a large crash recep-
ton with the usual dinner and theater
to the receiving party, or dance.
1t is naturally quite an expensive un-
dertaking, because there are SO many
items to be considered, especially in
small households when a force of extra
people must be called in to provide an
awning, music, flowers, refreshments, a
man to call carriages and footman or
special servants. And when in add
ton to this party to the play is given,
with dinner before, supper and dancing
afterward, extra motor and other ex-
penses, 1t is difficult to bring out
young girl we'll, that is to say in the
best New York fashion, without spend
ing a few thousand dollars. And this
does not include the gowns.-Vogue.
