NUTT.T.U. A DEESS EEHEABSAE GOOD STORY OF A YOUNG MISS WHO YEARNED FOR SOCIETY. 1 ; Her Premature Kntranoe Into the Charm •« Circle and Ito Rmulto-An Amiable Feminine Couiln and a Perfectly Horri . fl«d Mamma. • A good story is told concerning one of last winter’s debutantes, and since the heroine tells it on herself there is no impropriety in making it public. The winter before last Miss M. was still in the schoofroom, and though she possessed social aspirations they were not gratified by her mother. A cousin from Philadelphia came to spend the month of January with the family, and, being an heiress and accustomed to going about a great deal, her wardrobe was a thing of wonderful fascination to little Miss M. Singularly enough, the figures of the two girls were of ap exact size, and the younger found con stant delight in arraying herself in the frippery belonging to her good natured cousin. Many an hour was devoted to flouncing about the third story with long skirts and hair tacked up under the latest bonnet importation, and there was much secret practice with lorgnette and fan. 1J Mrs. M. and the rich cousin were plunged to the eyebrows in social gaye ties, to the enyy of the young daughter of the house. One day Mrs. M. was indisposed, and the rich cousin was con fronted With the necessity of attending iy herself a musicale, three teas and making the cabinet calls. When she be moaned the fact of going alone, her youthful kinswoman was seized with an inspiration. ‘*oll, well,” said she, •‘lend me some of your clothes and let me go;with you. Mother will never, know anything about it ” Being as amiable as rich, the visitor consented, promising herself a treat in beholding her young cousin’s entrance into society. Only a short time was nec essary for the changes of costume, and when the heiress appeared at Mrs. Blank’s musicale every one turned to look twice nt the stunning little figure. It Was a vision of bright eyes behind a tantalizing veil, rebellious yellow curls carelessly knotted and feathers, laces, velyets and silks irresistibly Frenchy. If she was the sensation of the musi cale, she was the universal rage at the teas. Every One wanted to meet her. Young men fell over themselves and others to obtain for her an ice or a mar ron. " And all the time the little society fledgling was quaking and fearing and blushing and suffering agonies behind the veil. It was embarrassing to ac knowledge that she was not going to this and that social function, had not seen the latest theatrical success, did not even know the visiting nobleman all the girls were raving over. Deeper and deeper she became involved, and the number of fibs necessary to invent paralyzed her conscience. And the little Miss M. breathed a sigh of relief when, arrayed in her own angle length gown, she was safely in stalled in her own home. Presumably her trials were ended. But not so; there were consequences to be faced. The next morning Mrs. M. appeared at the breakfast table, and in the bunch of mail there were several small envel opes addressed to Miss M. Also there were others with the inscription “Mr. and Mrs. M. and Miss M.” Mrs. M. passed these over with only an elevation of the eyebrows, but her daughter thought it wise to leave the room. Open ing her private letters, Mrs. M. read a note from a friend apologizing for a so cial error and inviting Miss M. to assist at her at home that afternoon. A second note contained an apology for not hav ing invited Miss M. to a debutante luncheon ou the previous day. Mrs. M. was completely mystified, but an early visitor soon opened her eyes. This visitor called hurriedly to say how surprised she was that Mra M. was introducing a daughter, and compliments were profuse upon the beauty and success of that daughter. “She was quite the sweetest thing yes terday at the musicale. Every one fell in love with her. I want her to fill an unexpected vacancy in _my young peo ple’s dinner tonight. ” Mra. M. gasped out: “There must be aomp uustake. I have no daughter in society. ” “Why, your niece introduced her to me, ” interrupted the astonished visitor. But by this time Mrs. M. was ring ing the bell furiously a«.d both niece and daughter were hurriedly summon ed. Explanations followed, and ulti mately forgiveness, but it was some time before Mrs. M. .managed to con vince society that she was not launching a beautiful daughter that season. Last Winter, when this same charm ing guT cdio.e out formally and correct ly, and in her own instead of borrowed finery, there must have been several so ciety men saying to themselves: “By jGve, where have I seen somebody like Miss M.? Must have been some one I met last season. ” —Washington Star. The Latter Pw Jerusalem- When I landed at Yafa, I first began to open my eyes in regard to the Holy Thia is a seaport town, and it is dirty and filthy add is overrun with beggars who have their “mit” out on every corner. In the middle of winter, when a light snow Was falling, the Arabs, wearing cheap cotton clothing, would, stand around and shiver. Every body shivered for that matter, for I Mer er saw a stove or fireplace in the town. Excuse me from going to. Jerusalem again for pleasure. I was disgusted with the place on account of its filthy streets and foul, noisome odors.—“ Story of & Returned Traveler. ” Where the Surprise Comes In. , A pretty good gjtete can be made as to what a sensible man will do, but no body ever knows what a fool will da— Atchison Globe WHITE HOUSE BLACK LIST. Nmms of Vulnrited Versons Who Crowd I Into Beeeptiom Procured. The White House has a blaek list. It is an interesting souvenir of this year's re- | ceptioDs. It goes to prove that there are persons who own fine clothes and who are I not so thin skinned as to remain away | from places to which they are not invited. The invitations given this year to the White House receptions were prepared with unusual carp. Lists of the invited were kept, and cards were issued to Individuals byname. The heretofore indefinite and indiscriminate “and ladies’’ waa not em ployed. That there might be no misun derstandings the secretary to the preai dent, Mr. Porter, and the gentleman asao oiated with him in the management of de tails let it be known through the'newspa pers that steps would be taken to detect any who came without invitations. But the method to be employed was not ex plained. . The trap was set, and it did Its duty. At one reception 918 persons who had not been invited camo to the White House and participated. At another affair the num ber of uninvited present was 150. The manner in which the intruders were de tected is interesting. As usual, each guest on advancing to the entrance of the receiving room waa told by ah official to “give your name to the officers, who will present you.” The name of eaob guest was called outfTwico, first by tho officer In troducing to the president and again by the officer who made the presentation to Mrs. McKinley. The announcing was done with distinctness. But this year an attache of the White House stood In a se cluded nook and took <pwn* every name that was called out. Comparison withjhe roster of the invited was made subsequent ly, and in this way the names of the unin vited were singled out, and tho black list was.created. r - Tbiajwas not.all. Doorkeepers from the senate and house were present to add their knowledge of faces to that of the White House ushers. Alphabetical lists of tbe In vited were in the possession of theofflolals. When there was a doubt about any one, the. lists were consulted. «Some of the un invited were asked for their addresses. Subsequently letters were addressed to sev- < eral of those who had come without invi tations asking explanations of the breach. Most of the letters were ignored. Several replied, laying tho blame ou congressmen from whom they claimed to have received verbal invitations. Half a dozen depart ment people were caught, and their cases were referred to superior officials.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Varieties of Grasshoppers. One of tbe very interesting gifts receiv ed recently by the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia is modestly re corded as “45 species and 108 specimens of grasshoppers of eastern Pennsylvania and New Jersey, collected by the Feldman Col lecting social.” This collection embraces about one-third the species within the boundaries named. There is probably nothing new to the Academy of Natural Sciences in this lot, but it is valuable nev ertheless, for it teaches the uninitiated at a glance, among other things, that there Is much moire embraced in the genus grasshopper than he before imagined. He will discover, for instance, that conspicu ous among the tribe Is the universally de tested cockroach, the terror of all careful bpusekeepers. If the person be a New Yorker, he will quickly identify among the cockroaches a little brown bug, which be has perhaps hitherto only known as the Croton bug, an insect which suddenly made Its appearance In wpst numbers a few years ago in the Crotop Water furnish ed for drinking and domestic purposes. Among the grasshoppers also are the crickets and katydids, and hero again one learns with surprise tjiat tho beautiful green, long winged creatures which are generally credited with accusing each oth er in the dusk of the evening of having done something or other are nut guilty. The culprit is in the collection, however, and it Is also green, but not of that deli cate shade which is possessed by tbe one so long accused. It is, moreover, a sullen looking creature, with rounded head and brownish legs, just the sort of an insect that one would imagine would taka de light in indulging in recriminations.— Philadelphia Ledger. Sugar a Mtucle Maker. The German sugar manufacturers at one of their recent meetings have gone very thoroughly into the important role played by sugar on our physical organisms. Wo hate on several previous occasions gall ed attention to the advantages of sugar for muscular development and cited prac tical experiments reletting to tbe same. Some professors now go further and de clare that sugar is the only source of strength of man; other substances, such as fate, albumen, etc., are transfonqed in to sugar before their assimilation is possi ble. Efforts are being made to have the war minister look info the subject and give special sugar allowances to the sol ulers. That there be no expense for the government in glvipg’the subject a trial it is proposed that the German sugar manufacturers furnish gratuitously suffi cient sugar for the 2,000 men who are to be kept under observation. Examples are given of Russian factories where men employed are more willing to work when a certain dpily sugar allow ance is granted. This is combined with a sort of fruit pulp and may be kept so? a period of years without undergoing the slightest change. It vary Considerably promotes digestion and muscular strength. One need only recall a book written in the early part of this century, in whlpb it waa agreed that life could be considerably pro longed by eating sugar in determined quantities; forthose in excellent health it helps to digest those dishes in which the rich too frequently indulge; for those who suffer from stomach pains sugar when eaten after a meal will generally prove a valuable specific.—Sugar Beet. An 11l Timed Text. A young woman who lives on Capitol hill and has a name which exactly ex presses her nature spent a part -ot last summer in Atlantic City. There is in Atlantic City an Episcopal church whose doers are never closed. Tbe pastor is ex ceedingly deyout and ultra high church, and be reads prayers'* every day. The Washington young woman went into the church one morning. The rector had just begun to read tho service, and she was the only listener. The rector finished the prayers, And it then became evident that he meant to do bis full duty by his con gregation. He was going to preach a ser mon to the Washington young woman. ‘‘Dearly beloved, ’ * he began, gazing ear nestly into space, “I purpose speaking to you this morning from the text”— and to tho dismay of Bls solitary IStener he con tinued, “from the text, ‘Depart from me, tor I am a sinful man.’ ’’—Chicago Inter Ocean. swsisss-y— »>■*—' —-rrar- Tira— ■■ ■■ ' I STOLE A SIO,OOO OPINION, f Who ter .a ** . Some years ago tho widow of a fa mous Union general*was intimate with the wife and daughters of a justice of the supreme court and was as familiar with their home as with her own, which was in the immediate neighbor hood. She was also intimate with the family of a prominent and popular lob byist, who was supposed to represent Jay Gould, O. P. Huntington and other men of large interests whenever any thing concerned them in congress. All the parties are now dead, except tbe lady in the case, whom I will call Mrs. Smith. She was a handsome, ambitious and frivolous woman, whose husband committed suicide by drowning himself in his batfitab. She lived a gay life afterward, but managed to keep many of her old friends. Knowing her love of money and the fact that her Income did not keep paoe with her expenses, the lobbyist told her that he would give her SIO,OOO if she could get him a copy of tho opinion which the justice was expected to deliver in the supreme court on the following Monday, involv ing tho constitutionality of the Thur man Pacific railroad law. He told her that he knew the opinion was in manu script and believed that the judge had it locked up in the desk in his library. Sunday morning, as soon as she saw the justice and his family start for church, she went across the street, around Thomas circle, rang the bell and told the servant that she wanted to look at a book in the justice’s library. As she Was accustomed to go about the house almost daily they thought noth ing of it, and she was allowed to re main undisturbed in the same room with the decision for nearly two hours. It is supposed that she had a set of false keys, for the justice said that the opin ion, was locked up in his desk and could not have been reached otherwise. But at foiy rate the lobbyist is known to have obtained the opinion in advance, and -the woman was shortly after able to pay off some pressing obligations. An investigation disclosed the facts I have stated, and it seemed to be the only possible way the opinion could have been obtained. Os course the incident terminated relations between the two families, and when the story got out about town Mrs. Smith found it more comfortable to rent her Washington resi dence and remove to New York.—Chi cago Record. a HANDKERCHIEFS WE USE. BSB,SOO,OOb Single Ones Consumed In ths Trade Yearly In This Country. “ Very few people outside the trade, ” ■aid a leading wholesale dealer in hand kerchiefs in New York to a reporter re cently, “are aware that the consump tion of handkerchiefs throughout the United States amounts to about 75,000 dozen daily. This means 27,875,000 dozen yearly, or single handkerchiefs. To satisfy this enormoutf demand there are always kept in stock in this city at least 850,000,000 hand kerchiefs. It would be extremely diffi cult to say what such a supply of goods is worth in tho aggregate, as handker chiefs soli at. wholesale at anywhere from 80 cents to S4O per dozen, accord ing to quality and finish. But the fig ures which I have givea&you are not exaggerated, and they throw a strong light on the gigantio dimensions of an important branch of the dry goods busi ness. “A comparatively small number of handkerchiefs are manufactured in this connfay, and those that are made here are mostly of the cotton and inferior silk variety. The finest silk goods are imported principally from Japan, which country sends us annually between 17,- 000,000 and 18,600,000 ’Japanese pon gees.* The best cam brio article comes from France and Belgium, and linen handkerchiefs come from the north of Ireland and also from St. Gall, Switzer land. Japanese silk handkerchiefs are worth from $3 to S4O per dozen, while the imported cambrics from Brussels sell for from $5 to $7 a dozen, and the cotton product manufactured in Penn sylvania and New Jersey may be had for 80 cents per dozen. “The capital invested in this busi ness is immense. It may possibly amount to $100,000,000, but owing to the fact that the trade is distributed nothing like accurate figures can be given. There are six or seven firms in the dry goods district which deal exclu sively in handkerchiefs. But only two of these houses handle the domestic ar ticle extensively. Most of the large American factories are located outside of the city, but New York, as in sever al other branches of the dry goods busi ness, is the great distributing center for the trade.
