UnWorldly Girls.

Mrs. August Belmont has formed
among the shop girls of New York a
society called the Spugs-a Society
for the Prevention Of Useless Giving,
which, it Is hoped, will put a stop to
much foolish and harmful Christmas
extravaganza.
Praising this really admirable 60
ciety, Mrs. Belmont said the other
day:
Girls are too generous, too un-
worldly. They need such a society as
this. In their fine, unworldly way
they are all too much like a girl who
sells notions in q big Broadway shop.
This girl was engaged. Her chum
said to her one day:
