THE SOCIAL CLIMBER
A Fresh Analysis of an Ancient and
 Well Known Genus
Q New York Times.

From the New York Times.
 A clever woman described certain so- cial climber as one of those frightened members of society" The characterza- ton was so delciously apt that it Is worth passing on
 There are such lot of frightened ones in the social world-men and women who are so afraid of their prestige that they only trust themselves to be polite to those whom they think important
 These are the women who Haunt their exclusiveness. They like their names in the paper closely nanlSing social leaders. and permit no obligations, business or family. 10 swell their visiting list with 'the social negligent.
 If policy demands a courtesy to some one beyond the pale, how apologetic they arei Hostesses have been guilty in their own homes of explaining the presence of a guest. One such snob said deprecat- ingly to a woman whose favor she courted: "I had 10 ask Mrs. Blank; her husband is in a business with my hus- band"
 And the leader replied; Think you are lucky to get her. She could not come to me tomorrow, to my great regret"
 The frightened ones. if they consent to talk to those who do not bask in the sun light of their social favor. do so with wandering eyes, ready to shy at the first approach of one of their set.
 They think they arc being very exclu- sive when they are often laughed at as i'll bred For the woman of assured so- eial position does not fear to be gracious to everyone
 And the airs of the frightened ones, likewise the boastingi They fortlfy them

SECOND MESSAGE SENT ID CONGRESS Relates to Enonomy and
 Efficiency TO s A VIE S11,O00,O00 Recommends Consolidation of Reve- nue Cutter and Lighthouse Serv-
 ices-Wants Many Changes
 in Government Service
TO s AV E S11,OOO,OOO

Washington. April 4.-President Taft | today sent to Congress his second mes | sage of the present year on economy and efficiency in the government service. He recommended the passage ot Legislation designed to save more than $11, ,000,o0 an- nually to the people of the United States Probably his two most striking proposal; were that the local government offices in the treasury, postoffice, justice. interior and commerce and labor departments he placed in the classified service and that the revenue cutter service be consolidated with the lighthouse service in the de- partment of commerce and labor.
 By the first change the President said Congress could effect a saving of al least s1o,OO0,0e0 annually and although in this message he gave no figures for the consolidation of the two services of the sea. in a previous message on the same subject early in the year, he predicted economies that would total about Sl,0eO.- eco yearly.
 The President concluded his message with an appeal to Congress to appro- priate the $200,000 necessary to support the economy efficiency commission foi another year with s5OO00 additional foi the publication of the commissions find ings.
 President Taft's principal recommenda- tions for economies were as follows: Placing of pension agents in classified service: estimated saving s62,C00 annually.
 Abolition of office of receiver of district land offices and transfer of duties 10 .f..A-- al. mated saving S200,O00 annually.
 Transfer of political appointees'' in ln- ternational revenue and customs services to classified service; estimate of saving not given.
 Consolidation of lighthouse and life saving services into bureau of lighthouses estimated saving $1e0O00.
 Transfer of vessels and equipment of revenue cutter service from treasury to commerce and labor department and it's abolition as a separate service, estimated in message on economy. January r, that saving would be about Sl,0o0,000 year.
 Consolidation of auditing offices of the government under one auditory, estimated saving $20O, 900 annually.
 Discontinuance of mileage allowances for government travel and a per diem allowance for officers and employees In place of "subsistence' which includes lodging for those travelling; no estimates of saving given
 Improved method of handling corre- spondence; estimate of saving not given, but predicted that labor can be reduced 50 per cent.
 Generalization of the distribution of gov ernment documents; estimated saving s243pOo year.
 Dfscontinuance of publication of the of. ficial register; estimated saving s45.oot annually.
 Directly and indirectly,''- reads the message, the changes proposed will re- suit in the saving of many millions of dollars of public funds

selves in the social position by conde- scension, When they desire to be any thing but coldly indifferent they patron- ize graclously in the crumb throwing styles of a Dives. And like that rich one of old, the despised Lazarus is often the better man.
 The odd part is that not always are the frightened ones climbers Theoret- caly they should be. but there are wo- men who by birth or breeding should be sure of themselves and their position who dislike exceedingly to associate with any but the select few. They are too well bred not to be polite when forced into contact with outsiders" but they are restless
 Oh, the foolishness of such fright and the narrowness, The woman of cosmo- poltan training delights In the "outsid- CT" She may not want to become inti- mate with a wide circle of acquaintances. but she enjoys the casual meeting with all sets and all ages, dreading nothing more than the narrowness that comes with travelling in any narrow orbit.
