THREE ORDERS OF SOCIETY in NAPLES


There are three distinct classes in Neapoli-
castes--the nobility and aristocracy. the gal
antuominiS or middle classes and the "laz-
zaroni" or the submerged multitude"
The first class 1t is unnecessary to de-
scribe. the other classes live side by side,
and are yet distinct and hostile. They differ
in religious and political convictions. In NOR
ais. In social customs. In food and clothing
The galantuomini include the shopkeepers.
the small manufacturers. tradesr,en. book
keepers persons engaged In clerical occupa-
tons. and practically all who are compelled
to earn their living but who are not engaged
in manual labor
Iiey are generally liberal and often radical
in politics. Tie men express an open In.
difference and often contempt for ste church.
but require leir wives and daughters to OBJ
serve all the conventional religious duties.
and they themselves never fail to reach for a
crucifix or call for priest whenever they
imagine their own lives to be in danger.
They are fond of dress and display and 10,
dulge their taste as far as their means will
permit. but their wives and daughters are
kept in seclusion and are never allowed to
leave the house without dsiennas to protect
them.
The lazzaroni regard with contempt as
well as aversion the families OF the galan

struggle to keep up appearances. The laz-
zaroni are strongly attached to the nobility

by death. but also as a compliment to the
country and the government whose accredited

Good Time Just NolU
to Replenish That
Depleted Wardrobe

~ HE first clothes event of the New
Year is not change OF fashion
but the crucial moment for the
purchase OF clothes at economies.
Unfortunately for the merchants
many women plan for the replenish
ing OF their wardrohes at this season
when prices are diminished.
Especially American women are
thus clothes-wise. Such women are
not only financiers, but are geniuses,
therefore they deserve not only the
admiration of others less knowing
but their husbands. writes Marion
Morris in the Chicago Inter Ocean.
However. woman must be convers-
ant with values to be able to reap a
harvest of economies. The woman
who does not. and also the one who
has no foresight about styles-may be
favorably compared with the man who
buys gold brick"
This year the knowing woman can
easily save more money than ever be-
fore. Why?
Prices Must BE Cut.
For several weeks the newspapers
have published many bargain sales or
women's clothes-this signifies that
the market is crowded and that the
pressure was too great TO hold out I'M
til now. During December, women
gave little thought to any shopping
except for Christmas, so the market
was but little relieved Now comes
the onslaught And IT will be the
most drastic cut Of prices in years.
To explain the reason must turn the
calendar back more than six months.
Last May and the beginning of June
were quite cool and women did not
buy summer clothes until the weather
changed. As result. many stores
held back their orders and that pre-
vented the makers from starting on
their autumn models. Finally when
they did start. labor troubles occurred
throughout the country and every
thing stopped until the early autumn.
Unfortunately. the warm weather
lasted until later than usual. When
the manufacturers started on their
winter work they hurried to make up
for lost time, thinking that the women
who usually bought early would buy
later. However. their calculations
we're overestimated and now the mar
ket is flooded with some of the pref
test attire fashion has created in
many seasons. So now there are
dozens of advantageous opportunities
heretofore unknown even to the
clothes-wise woman
Because woman can always afford
to have several tailored suits-espe-
cially when she is able to get the ex-
ira one or two at greatly reduced

honorary palbearers But there was one other
courtesy which international etiquette pre-
scribes shall be offered under such sad circum-
stances In accordance with the usage OF
friendly nations the PRECEDENT Of the United
States cabed to the president of Chile offer
ing the use of a United States warship to con-
vey on his last journey home the body OF the
deceased diplomatist. The offer was accepted
and the Delaware has been assigned to act as
funeral barge on this voyage OF thousands OF
miles to Valparaiso and return. In accordance,
however, with the wishes OF the Cruz family
the battleship did not start on her journey i'm
mediately after the funeral. but the trip was
deferred until this month"; the fiag-draped

vault in a cemetery at Washington.
The United States government has been
called upon twice before within a comparative
ly few years. to convey hbms the bodies of emf
nent Pan-American statesmen who have died
In this country. Some years ago the body OF
an ambassador Of Mexico was thus conveyed

Brazil at our seat of government. On neither

Velvet is being so much worn this
season that hint on how to renovate
1t may not come amiss.

AS the steam begins to rise, get some
one to brush up the pile briskly with
stiff brush. Then spread out fiat to
dry, and afterward brush lightly again.
