stores had been purchased. Then the
fun began.
Some OF the toy parasols were made
of cloth that was highly colored and as

Useful Rich Men.

That men Of wealth in increasing num-
bers are deserting the ranks Of the
idle rich and devoting their time, tai
ents, and a part of their money to use
full public service is one of the encourag-
ing fruits of democracy in this country.
wealthy men do not bear their just pro-
portion of the public burdens, and pos
sibly many of them do not. Possibly
many OF them lack a sense Of RESPONSE
bility. During the last quarter of a CEN
tury, however, there have been in Amer
lean public life, or in semi-public life,
a great number Of men who feel that
riches, as well as noblesse, obige. 1t
would be a superfuous task to enumer-
ate them-the men in whom a social
conscience has been developed and who
find the performance of public duties
more attractive than polo or golf.-Bos-
