THRIFT.
A SOCIETY QUEEN WHO
GATED.
From Yontli’s Uompaalun:
Two of the prettiest girls in a town
where pretty girls are i>y nonleans rare
have recentiv passed the point beyond
which they cannot with propriety ho
spoken of as “girls.” .Both of them
once possessed unusual beauty; both
were considered, though in widely dif
ferent ways, attractive. They ivere
spoken of as “belles” in the circle in
w they moved.
One of them, who.with a little touch
ing up of the cheeks and eyebrows, ami
the assistance of a skillful dressmaker,
is yet handsome, still considers herself
a “belle,” and makes her desire for ad
miration and social supremacy uncom
fortably evident. She is unmerciful in
her criticism of the younger girls who
are just ente-ing her set; she likes to
snub and disconcert them; she speaks
of them as “chits” and schoolgirls
She has no feminine friends, and, as
her old admirers marry or desert her,
she finds her native place growing more
and more (lull, and finally gets out of it
as often as possible".
Every summer with many huge
trunks tilled with gorgeous clothes, she
goes to a large hotel at some gay resort
and spends the season in “showing off.”
Some people laugh at her, but there are
some who admire, and she will be able,
doubtless, to play at beingbelle a few
years longer.
The other belle belongs to a family
r eh in children, beauty, health and
good-t-mner. Her dresses have uev. r
been costly nor {specially elegant, but
no one ever stopped to think what she
had on. She is still pretty, without
touching up, but the first fresh bloom
of her beauty bns departed, ami people
begin to lament thet she doesn’t marry.
Not that, they make Ill-natured re
marks on tne subject, but they say she
is not the kind of person who ought to
be an “old maid.”
She is so capable, so domestic, so
ssvet-lcmperod, so fitted to be a wife
and mother, that she ought certainly to
t«- the mistress of a home.
It is rumored, moreover, that she lias
had a great many offers; ami it is known
though not tlirong'i her telling of them,
that she ha.'had several. To he sure,
in talking over her suitors the gossips
agree that they were good enough
young men. but none of them good
enough for her. It seems to be on gen
eral principles only that she had mar
ried.
Meanwhile, before any one realizes
what she is doing, or that she moans
to do it, still less to think that It is
time for her to do it, it is found that
tins belle has abdicated! There is no
formal announcement of the faet, but
it is so.
.Him goes seldom to parties. She ceasos
to act in theatricals or pose injtableaux;
she manages instead for those who do.
At church fairs, she is found no longer
as flower girl, or peasant waitress, or
gypsy fortune teller in coins and gay
scarfs; instead, she smiles at you
across the apron table, or shares the
distracting labors of the slipper ''com
mittee. or is plaeed in charge of the
children’s march.
As sweet, serene, and gay as. ever,
she shares the enjoyment of every fes
tal occasion, and adds to its charm,
but people come to her now with com
pliments, not for herself, hut for her
sister next in age, just budding into
wamanly beauty; or for the little
brother, who played the page so well;
or the younger sister, who was so
quaint and graceful in the minuet. She
flushes with pride and pleasure, as such
tilings are said to her.
She is yet more plqased when a gra
cions word is spoken concerning the
the older sister, the shy and awkward
one, not blessed with the family beau
ty ; and takes pains herself to mention
" lieu the rest arc praised, how sweet
tempered that one is, and how helpful
at home. What she herself is at home,
only the tired housewife whose burden
she lifts,|and the little flnclc to whom
she is a second mother, will ever know.
One cannot be a belle for a whole
life. The time comes when, if a girl
would not be pushed down, she must
step down—unless, indeed, she will
step up instead. That is always possl
hie to do; and she who does it loses
nothing and gains much Even her
beauty often does not vanish, but mere
ly changes in kind.
People may not say so often, ‘ How
pretty she looks!” but they will be
more than ever likely to say, “How
lovely she is!*’
The present Emperor of Germany is
known to be hostile to the excessive
betting which is practiced in the army.
When, as Prince William, he was Colo

some officers of his regiment that they

It is stated that every other person in
Massachusetts has some money laid up
in the saving banks or other banking
institutions; and that more was thus
laid up last year than has been laid lip
for the previous fifteen years. Doubt
less, if all tlife money spent on fellies
ant sins and trifles were deposited in a
savings bank, it would bo a wonderful
help in the time of sickness and stagna
tion in business, and would lesseu the
burden of life, to the niathcr and chil
dren who may be widowed and or

But there is a wiser laying up’, u Lay
not up your treasure on earth where
moth and rust corrupt and where
thieves break through and steal, but
lay up your treasure in Heaven where
neither moth nor rust doth corrupt’, and
where thieves do not break through nor
steal: For where yopr treasure is
there will your heart be also.”
