that the boy Of the gang type has
better eyesight. has more speed and
can estimate time better than the
young college boy. On the other hand
he has found that the college boy has
better hearing. is more accurate. has
better memory and sense Of touch.
DR.. Block selected the street boys

are some of his conclusions:

Thirty-two percent OF the street

as they squat under a tree at the noon
hour to take bite of lunch, some
who are mothers to be nursed during
the rest hour.
Some of these city jobs are looked
upon as sinecures. Many a woman in
Europe enyies her sister who drives a
taxicab In Paris or tends a streetcar
switch In Munich or works in the
parks of Dresden. And even these
women sometimes smile as if they felt
themselves favorites of fortune.
Carlsbad is a very good place to
include on the itinerary of the wife or
mother or sister who thinks her lot a
hard one. Particularly if. in addition
to her other hardships, she thinks she
has not as much money to spend as she
ought to have.
The stout DANES who gather at the
watering places In the hope of losing
some of their flesh look very much like
ready money so far as their clothes
and jewels go. But let our American
woman watch closely their method OF
having a good time. They go to the
spring for their water, to which they
are entitled by payment of the kurtax.

ing gossip and engaging in decorous
flirtations. The promenade fills up the
time that must elapse between drink
ing and eating. Then it Is the proper
thing to go to one of the garden or
terrace cafes for coffee and roll.
Now watch the stout, dressy danes and
you will see more than one OF them
order her coffee and then draw forth
from a big handbag her own roll. This
she has brought from her home. where
she doubtless made them with her fat,
beieweled hand. OF course she can
bring only a limited supply from home.
and when they are gone she must buy;
but this she will probably do where
she can buy them cheapest by the
dozen and carry them with her to the
fashionable garden or terrace. Such
little economies as this are so common
as never to cause the lifting of an eye
brow by a foreigner, but can any. one
imagine an American woman doing
such thing?
While lunching on the terrace of any
of the large restaurants one is
likely to see a cart driven up
of potatoes. The heavy cart is
more than likely drawn by two milch
COWS. BY common consent nothing of
the female sex is admitted to be the
weaker, and when the cart is stopped
an old woman chambers slowly down
from the seat and begins carrying the
sacks of potatoes into the restaurant
storeroom, while her stalwart son stays
on the cart to keep the cows from
running away.
A similar sight is seen at the various
springs after the regular drinking
hours when the water is being bottled
for shipment. A man or two stands
near the spring, operating simple
little bottling machine, while women
load the bottles into huge boxes which
they carry to the wagons. The boxes
filled with bottles are SO heavy that

While the grain is ripening the
woman has more time to devote to the
cattle. to milking and cheese making
or hauling the milk through the streets
of the nearest village to sell from door
to door.
After this cheerful and pleasant re-
spite comes the harvest, when she goes

This is not an occasional sight In
Belgium, in Germany, in Bohemia, IN
Italy, in Switzerland the woman with
the hoe or the plow or the harrow is
as common as the man whom poet and

she hires herself out for few cents

food and clothing by doing what is

Swiss or Austrian farm houses that
look so quaint and artistic in the post

she might at first thought. But she will
change her mind when she learns that
the horses and cows and chickens usu-
ally have most of the ground floor,
and the hay and winter food supplies
all of the top floor, and that the people
have layer or two in between, with
no heating arrangements to speak of
and no water except what is carried in
from a well or a nearby stream, and
candles for lights most likely.
Perhaps the most sordid lives are
those of the Swiss country women, Ii
one may judge by their faces. A smile
on the face of a Swiss farmers wife
is as rare as flower on the Alpine
meadows in January. And no wonder.

should hear how he talked to me over

But Blinks. my dear. is man of in

planned Ruffins. "Of all men. 1 want
him to be on hand" And it was after
long argument that Mrs. Ruffins at
last gave her consent, which she did
with the final shot: We'll, I'll have to
let him know. just the same, that he is
specially favored"
Blinks' demeanor at the garden party
was one of perfect possession. as
though the occasion held nothing at all
unfamiliar to him. His utter lack of
subservience nettled Mrs. Ruffins so
that she could scarcely restrain her
anger. But at last her opportunity
came when she found herself face TO
face with the grocer, who, with the To-
cal judge. was talking of conditions in
New York city. where Ruffins' extern
sive manufacturing business was To-
Gated.

city," remarked the grocer.
But, Mr.. Blinks," sweetly punctu-
ated Mrs. Ruffins, ''in New York shop
keepers don't go in the best society,"
Blinks looked at her and nodded a
smiling acquiescence- They don't
