ChancenOr's Warning on Extravaganza.
So alarming is the luxurious tendency
that a year or two ago the imperial
chancellor in the reichstag felt il nee
essary to issue a solemn warning to the
nation against the sins of extravaganza.
Prince Won BueIOw charged the people
with having abandoned the discipline
Of denial" and he warned them that that
glorious national character which had
made possible the great German sue
ceSSeS of the nineteenth century was
built on the foundation of self denial
and that il now was in great danger of
being undermined and destroyed by in
diligence 1t was in this speech-in
the debate on the bill to raise SIPS, 00O,-
900 additional taxes each year to sat
isfy the German appetite for battleshipS
that the chancellor said that every
body in Germany must retrench A So
cialist member, calling attention TO the
inOrdinate love of display which has
characterized the rule of the present
emperor, asked the chancellor: Every
bOdy?" But the chancellor was in earn
est and he instantly answered: Yes. I
except nobody" The result was. not
that the kaiser was forced to retrench.
but that the reichstag did refuse to
grant him an additional $4,000, 900 a
year which he had asked the better TO
maintain his fifty four royal palaces
his ocean going yacht, his elaborate
special trains, and his great collection
of high power automobiles. The kali
sers preaching for once was acted
upon.
Champagne Replaces Beer.
But of course the chancellor's solemn
warning. as well as those of the kaiser
and the leading contemporary philoso-
pliers, accomplished nothing. Indeed
It was said that the retrenchment
speech was followed by the greatest
orgies ever known in the history of the
rev gay capital of Germany. Luxuri-
Gus hotels and restaurants have taken
the places of the simple cafes of a
generation ago. The diners have for
saken their native beer and sandwiches
for long French dinners and expensive
French champagnes- This extravaganza
among the wealthier and weII-to-do
classes is reflected among the working
people in a fashion which German pub
icists consider imminently dangerous.
In fact. the Germans now stand next
to the Americans as prodigal spend-
thrills. The growth of luxurious habits
in Germany since the foundation Of the
empire has been just about the same as
that in the United States in the same
length of time The Broadway life in
New York in 1871 did not even family
foreshadow the gaiety of the Grea1
White Way OF 1910. There are Amerf-
cans who preach against American ex-
travagance. and sometimes even a great
political leader OF an eminent Journalist
VIII deplore the extrava gance OF a Joy
riding generation in the United States.
But as yet Americans have not taken
the matter as seriously as have the
GermanS, probably for two reasons
first, that America is so much richer.
and second, that Americans think of
public questions as purely political is

Then she went TO the palmist. and she
felt happy when she heard that her hus-
band was not TO see the next year. He
had been in poor health for some time
for of late he had diSSipated consider
ably and had begun to drink heavily.
When fall came she was watching for 4
sign of the approaching end, and he did
grow worse for several weeks, but when
December came with crisp cold air, he
picked up and seemed better than he
had been for a long time.
The month dragged along and on the
last day of the year her husband went

health and she sat alone in the house.

felt. it would be impossible for her TO
live another year with him Good men

turned intoxicated and his lungs worked
so that it seemed almost impossible for
him to breathe. She helped him to bed
and when lie ordered her to give him
more whisky she let him have it with
out a word. Then she put a mustard
plaster on his chest and sat at his side
until he fell asleep.
The old year rad only Is minutes
more to live and she stood at his bed
with face fun of despair. The palmist
had said her husband was TO die before
the year was gone and now it seemed
impossible that this was going to hap
pen.
Unless-and she shuddered and grew
cold at the idea-pernaps he had meant
she was to be the tool, and then she
must be quick. 1t is fate. she mumbled.
She looked at the clock. 1t was almost

ened her lips.
She raised a corner of the plaster
near his heart. went over to her work
basket and took out a long needle and
with her thimble she drove 1t into his

cry of pain and few minutes afterward
she wiped off a single drop of blood and
pressed down the plaster.

O-- -- Deeply In Love

KNOW a man who has set his heart
on winning a girl who declares
that she likes him, but will
never be in love with him. He fell
in love with her before he went to
college, and he has now graduated
and is in business. During the last
five years he has never wavered in
his devotion
At times. six months would pass
without his seeing her, and mutual
friends of his and the girl would say:

Then H would reappear as quiet

He will win, 1 fancy. through sheer
perseverance and making himself
necessary to her.
He makes me so angry" she said,
one day with a vexed laugh. He IS
always on hand when I want any
thing I'll have to marry him, in spite
of myself"
He'll Win by Determination.
He never changes, never shows jeal-
ousy of any of the many men attentive
to her. but 1 know he must have times
of depression, for sometimes his lady
love is a naughty girl and leads him
fine dance.
If grim determination can win. then
L think he will set her. She does not
realize low much she depends on him
and, if he were 20 lock a another
girl. she would no the most astonished
girl in the world.
Once I advised him to try that but

But if that Is so. are we then re-

"That is a very difficult question" ~
he said, but TO me it appears that we
are all puppets in the hands of some
superior being. perhaps the spirits he
add dreaminyly.
Then if we do anything wrong, we
really cannot help it," she said, and
looked anxiously into the palmist's deep
dark eyes.
1T really looks that way, but per-
haps there is some explanation. I can
not believe we have come into the world
to do wrong. Perhaps the signs of a
future crime would not be found-lf. yes,
it must be Soft the heart were pure,

How can you believe in your science
and say this? The lines that foretell

with cold unpleasant laugh. Fore

TO you, though am afraid you have
not told ME everything you read in my
hand"
Let me look at it once more" he
said and sac held out her little white
hand.
Are you quite sure my husband will
die this year?"
Yes, quite sure" he said slowly, 'at
the very end Of the year, but If you
nurse Linn very carefully the line may
disappear and he will live. I have seen
dangers averted and lines disappear"
Even in case of death?"
Yes. but not when death has seemed
so near. No, this time it will happen
and wish you had not come TO me-"
he said and dropped her hand with an
expression Of horror.

UNDER BOND TO
SUPPORT HIS OWN CHILD,

Frank Smith, of 507 Springfield ave
nue., who claims to be a former con-
stable. was. held i'll $500 bonds for the
maintenance of his 7-year-old child,
which, it was testified to in the First
Precinct Police Court today, he refused
to support.
Mrs. Louise Kellmar, of 74S Hunter
don street, his mother-in-law, was the
complainant. She stated that Smith
last December was ordered by the
court to pay $3.50 a week for the sup
port of his child. This he did for a
while, when he and his wife took up
residence at Bernardsville. The couple
returned to the city about a month
ago, and since then, according to Mrs.
Kellnar, Smith has not paid for the
child's board. Smith in his own behalf
averred that he did not know where
the child was, but was willing to sup
port it. Judge Hahn then ordered him
to produce a bondsman and increased
the order to SO a week.
