SURPRISING FIGURES
ON COST OF LIVING
Fashionable Women Among
Those Most Affected.

Paris, April S-A writer in a French
woman's journal makes an interesting
comparison between the cost of living for
a fashionable woman to-day and thirty
years ago.
AN income of $4,000 was counted as
wealthy thirty years ago." says the
writer. 1.-The woman who dressed in the
height of fashion paid anything between
$50 and $50 for a smart frock. while a
hat which cost as much as $50 was al
most an unheard-of extravaganza.
THE most elegant hats were seldom
priced above S., and as for a morning
frock trimmed with lace and ribbon, 1t
might be had for SIS. The highest price
given for a cloakswas about $50, and If
a woman treated her friend at confec-
toners shop she would spend g cents on
chocolates and cakes for both.
"A drive in the park costs so cents an
hour, and a carriage could be hired for
the whole day at less than S..
But to-day" continues the writer. "a
simple walking costume is priced from
800 to $40. An inexpensive visiting
frock will cost anything above $50, while

GOES TO PRISON
TOSAVE MOTHER
Son, Cruelty Wronged, Ac.
cepts Blame in Silence.

London, April s.-A touching story Of a
son who was cruelty wronged by his
mother, but who maintained silence and
went to prison rather than clear himself
and have his mother condemned, was
told by a missioner at a meeting of the
Sheffield Police Court Mission. 1t reads
more like melodrama than a tragedy of
real life.
Three years ago a Sheffield boy was
sent to gaol for stealing an overcoat. The
mother, bursting into tears, told the
court that her son was a bad lad, that
he had all but broken her heart, and as
he descended from the dock she babe
him never darken her doors again
He obeyed the injunction and upon
leaving goal he went into the service of
kind farmer, and a year later. having
earned an excellent character, he went
to Canada.
Last December the mother died in the
workhouse hospital, and redeeming a
promise the missioner wrote and told
the lad. Subsequently it developed that
it was the mother herself who stole the
coat, and forced her son to pawn il. To
screen herself she threw the blame on
him, and he had accepted the stigma
until death enabled him to remove it.
