If a man is presentable his lack of money is not a serious embarrassment to ‘him socially. All he needs is an evening suit, which may be made to last-several years, and enough loose cash to pay occasionally for flowers and theatre tickets. He is welcomed by the"women who are the arbiters in social matters, and if he hasn’t a cent he is all the more romantic. The man that hasn’t a cent is numerous in society. ’ But for the poor girl the social road is no such primrose path, In the first place society, which opens its doors wide to decent, though impecunious young men,slams them in the face of poor young women. Rich mothers, who rule society, iwish naturally to marry. off their daughters as well as possi— ble and with as little trouble as need be, and it is their policy to shut out competition. If clever, good-looking poor girls were to land a few of the good catches every season they ' would mar the plans of many rich mammas. Of course there are poor girls in society, but most of them were there before the rich matrons had a vote. But, even if she were welcome in smart society, it would do a poor girl little good to enter unless her beauty or talent were extraordinary. She could not hold her own with richer girls in the matter of clothes and entertaining. Much of a girl’s social success depends on clothes, and she must have plenty of them if she would be in the running. A clever dressmaker can give an ordinary, plain girl, a good deal that nature omitted to give her; figure, grace, distinction, elegance. When a vision of feminine loveliness swims into his ken the wise man wonders how much of the vision is clothes and how much girl. The poor girl competes under a terrible ~“handicap for rich girls, who, in calico wrappers, would be-n0 more pretty or fascinating than she, may seem like beings of another and superior order when they appear iu their smart clothes and sit beside the girl in a home-made suit. There is nothing more deceptible than women’s clothes. A dressmaker can give a girl shoulders, bust, waist, height, curves or any other bodily perfection, and it belipaves a man to be wary. But the dressmakers that can do these things come high, and they are beyond a poor girl’s purse. In the matter of entertaining a poor girl alsocarries weight in the social handicap. A girl who goes about in society must return the hospitality she receives, must have a home to do it in and money to doit with. Entertaining costs a great deal, as they that do it now. Poor girls are very foolish when they try to be social somebodies. Everyone becomes aware -that they are living beyond their means, and their efforts to cloak their poverty are pitiful. A poor girl can live a quiet, wholesome, pleasant life, with the friends she really loves about her, and can have her home life quite as finely toned as that in any palace, if she will. She has no good cause for envying rich girls their balls and opera cloaks. Happiness is pretty evenly distributed, and the poor get their full share of it. * seemed aaea4444 4 THE ARMY CANTEEN. HE army canteen question will undoubtedly be brought up during this session of Congress, for the present law abolishing the canteen was of course to pre— vent the sale of liquor at government posts, but according to the reports of officers, the result has been exactly ually increased.

Why the Audience Laughed. At a public entertainment recently a conjurer. had an experience which was highly comical, though quite disastrous from a professional point of view. Having produced an egg from a previously empty bag, he announced that he would follow up this trick by bringing from the bag the hen that laid the his confederate to carry. out. He proceeded to draw the bird from the bag, but what was his surprise on finding that the alleged hen was an old rooster, which strutted about the stage with ruffied feathers and offended dignity and set up as vigorous a crowing as if it had just awakened ffom its nocturnal slumbers. The whole audience shrieked with laughter, and the unfortunate conjurer made a bolt for the dressing room. : The Tumbleweed. The tumbleweed is a curious plant, stem, making a large flat head, close to the ground. In the fall, after being touched by the frost or dried by the weather, the stem breaks off, the head becomes the sport of the wind and is driven off across the prairie, scattering seeds as it goes and finally bringing up against some obstruction which arrests its progress. These weeds have been seen piled ten feet ‘high against a fence, driven there by the wind. . Jadk Tar as a Critic. At an auction art sale the other day a marine view was about to be knocked down at a handsome figure when a bluff sailor, who had happened to wander in, exclaimed earnestly: “My stars, if there ain’t a vessel drifting on to the rocks with a strong breeze blowing offshore!” The artist took his work home to rearrange the wind. oe. oe Cheap Rates East.
