MAU. LUXURIES WI8HED FOR BY

Curious, Isn’t it, what queer ideas soma
amen have of luxury I Probably most tucn
ippose that all women think uUke on the

man answered: “The possession of something
I don't own.’’ A silence had fallen on the
group when the question was asked, but tide
answer was received with applause. And
then they entered into detaiL They were all
clever, refined women, bat none of town
owned distended purses. They generally Wore
pretty gowns, stylish hats and neat gloves
and boots, but as a whole they did not swathe
themselves in lace, nor did any of them own
torses; there were net more than adoeest
diamonds among them all, and they were
none of them idlers, nor did they wish to be.
One of them, noted for tor extreme neat¬
ness Of dress, said that tor Idea of tqxnry
meant dean linen twice a day and a Russian
bath once a week. She declined to say bow
often rite Indulged id dean linen; but no
member of the group bad ever seen her when
her ruches at neck and wrists were not Im¬
maculate, nor when there was the tiniest
speck on her snowy petticoat. As to toe

that she wanted a maid to take care of it;

her hair required time and strength, and
