Pt8ClttfSttt89St9tSIS : SUNDAY SERMON : S 3 JJ A Scholarly Dlsooun By JJ t Rv. W. J. THorapson. csbaaasssassscsasi Brooklyn, N. Y. Sunday Simpson M. E. Church celebrated Its sixty-first an niversary. The subject of Pastor W. J. Thompson's morning sermon was 'Faith and Love In the Warp, Pastors and Members In the Woof." The text was from I. Thessulonians 1:3. Mr. Thompson said: The warp consists of the threads running lengthwise through the entire fabric. The woof conslss of the thrends crosswise, and prompted by the weaver's fancy, may Tory with each shot of the shuttle. The warp of Simpson Church Is that which through these sixty-one years lias remained unchanged and is un changeable. The woof, 'comprising pastors and members, by Inexorable necessity and purposeful design changes and evermore must change. Faith Is a prominent thread in the warp. Conscious of our spiritual growth we reach out after- tied If liapplly we may find and be aided by IIliu. God Is not found out by search ing. The futility of the quest adds .welcome to Jesus who reveals the sought-for God as the Father. We hold forth Jesus the authoritative re vealer of Ood and our relation to Mm as the light of the world. Absorbed In Ills talks and walks, we are caught up In Ills life, and by that life conformed to his likeness. Thus Jesus saves men by His life. Also by His death. The obstructions to the tunnel-boring under Manhattan and the rivers, overcome by the engi neers .sacriHce, measure their devotion to their Ideal rapid transit. Christ's sacrifice of His life revealed Ills complete love for Ills ideal, the salvation of man, and mukes that sal vation complete. We preach Christ and 1 1 i in crucified as the all-sufficient saviour of men who receive Him. Philosophers reason men into disciple chip. Without violence to reason, and Invoking it only so far as it Is u part of conscience, we command men every where to repent and believe. Kepent by ceasing to do evil; believe by the trustful appropriation of the Christ life aud death. Our forerunners In this are John the Baptist, Peter and flaming evangels on to Wblttleld and Moody. Our justification )s the wit ness of sins forgiven, and lives bring ing forth the fruits of righteousness. Fear is In the warp. It I ours by generous hereditary legacy, and com passes things, beasts, men and devils. When fear is uppermost It dwarfs. Neither moral nor religions giants are the product of feuv. What pygmies woriimenr, fear of disaster, mukes. Intimidation from eclipses and comets ailutwA bhmva tr hn lititj.kluua Thn f.ttn of beasts, which vanishes before the prowess of the hunter.- Fear of physi cal man departing with war. Fear to speak one's convictions and advocating measures he disbelieves, thus count ing for less than nothing, and deserv ing expatriation from a democracy these are all unwholesome fears. The sooner banished the better. Moral fear. Wordsworth calls duty the "Stern Daughter of the Voice of (iod." She is a task mistress over lis. vOur superior therefore we fear. Her commands, like a chrysallls, metamor phoses into the pleasures of duty. Fear of the law drives tho criminal to out ward legal acts. The best citizens are moved without fear. William Lloyd Garrison, the great moral champion, the centennial of whose birth this day iSj when dragged through the streets ui Boston by a mob, said 'ills soul was devoid of fear." Fear Is the beginning and not the end of morality. Godly fear. Petro lilns argued feur made the gods. Some religions have their devils. We have ours who goeth about as a devouring lion. The Old and New Testaments have 518 references to fear. It may be needful for the beginnings nnd'sulutary with' certain tempera ments, but fear is only the beginning of wisdom. The almlghtiness of .Tehovah makes us tremble. But He draws near to us in the flesh as we become one with Him. His power is for us. Fear from the least to the King of Terrors is abolished. All power is for our good and we can no longer fear. Fear gives place to love and sinks to tue nether side of the warp In reinembrance-.of the judgments of the lawgiver. The terrors of the law are replaced by the grace of the gospel. Feur Is the be ginning of wisdom, its end is love. In our necessitated helplessness In In fancy and youth we depended upon our fathers. That dependence met, brought forth as tho foremost flllal feeling, love. Ail men have this tu telage, and to them Jesus reveals 56d as the Father who excels the most de voted father in giving good things. The devotee of many gods may be sober until he Is Intoxicated at the feast of Dlonyslus and be righteous throughout all. To the sunie devotee wisdom Is a virtue If he Is a states man anil couruge if lie is a soldier. There are different virtues for different times and different people. Jesus ve vealed Dlety as one God and Father. therefore virtue is one and love is the fulfilling of all virtue. To offend iu one point of love Is to be guilty of all, because righteousness is a unit. The acknowledged master iu my craft addresses my ambition with, "You can be an artisan equal to me and 1 will aid yon." He has my heart's best love. The absolutely perfect God addresses my loftiest ambition with, "Be ye perfect as I am perfect and My proffered grace, all-sufficient. Is yours for the asking." It follows my heart's supreme lovo wells up to God. The most prominent thread In the warp Is, "Love God with all jour heart, mind, soul and strength." God the Father of all then geog raphy, national boundaries, Is a mutter of the head and not of the heart and merchandise a commodity in tiling and not In men. Accordingly, in the beginning of this era it was predes tined William Lloyd Garrison should toll the death knell of slavery. Bud dhistic love is individualistic and does no mighty deeds; Christian love is so clal and does. It Inculcates love to tho neighbor and unites to the true relig ion the loftiest morals nud Inspires the mightiest deeds of man for man. Thomas Hoboes set the English thinking world agog with, "Self-love is the only love; we tolerate, but can. not love ii'uiiueiv' inis cyme woum view the Samaritan's succor of the wounded man not to mitigate his suf ferings, but himself to exhilarate In power possessed. Ada in Smith has shown with his pen what so many have with their lives that sympathy Is an Integral part of , our nature. Sympathy, to feel with another. Is a prerequisite of love. Tho tragic stimu lates It. Accordingly, In the Christian religion the death of Jesus is most prominent. His betrayal, triple denial by IVter, stripped of His robe, mocked scourged, carrying the cross, bound to ir iiuiluil' llln ..,. .... " f ! "M lo kUllllllU f ' Hi JlLkilMI uurmi-iue wiiole Is detailed with minutiae. Add to this the ii-niem-bruuee of a young. man rudlaui with hopes that are stifled; tho long for Messiah, Son of God, founder of religion, whos life was all for human weal, crucified In the populous capital of His nation a a malefactor, and the tragedy of Calvary becomes pathetic In the extreme. If the Oberammergan play is so heartrending, the loved dis ciples of Jesus must have had an ex perience In pathos rarely felt by mor tal. It is a wonder some of them did not die from sheer pity. To-day we observe Passion Week and the forty days of Lent. Art. lit erature and sermons picture the pa thetic profile of Jesus and melt our hearts. The courageous man of Cal vary is less viewed, and wisely go. We need to bn Infused with the pas sion of Jesus to give us the heart to feel. The melted heart first. Darwin ruled sympathy out of order In this world of struggle. A recent reputable sociologist shows how sym pathy evidenced In mutual aid has made possible the life of the animate world and the progress of man. In the highest form of life the offspring Is fewest and weakest. Pity absent, and such would perish. God pitying perishing man brought redemption. Jesus magnified sympathy. It melts the heart to love. There is false sym pathy. A sect, the Juinlsts. so pity ven omous Insects as not to kill them. The Doukhobor absurdly pity the pulling engine. Sentimentalists so pity the perpetrators of horrible murder as to foil justice; parents their disobedient child as to spare the rod and spoil. False philanthropists feed the lazy and pauperize those who ought not to oat lieeause they do not work. We must sympathize aright. The woman who cares for the or phan; the nurse who ceases not her vigils In the epidemic; the neighbor who grants a loan to n deserving man lu a hard place; the friend with his fitly spoken word to lighten the weighted heart and gladden the record ing nngel these are all illustrations of sympathizing aright. The highest form is tho poor sympathizing with the rich In their loneliness, and the rich with the poor In their needs. AVhen the highest and lowest feel us one, sym pathy lias its perfect work. The heart thus sympathetic will go down In pity, out in love to enemies and up in love to God, and throughout envieth not. Thus tills most blessed faculty of the heart Is pure. We preach "Love one another with a pure heart, fervently." Ixxe, the most prominent thread warp, Is more than "mere morality." Knowl edge of the good does not overcome the inertia to its doii)g. -The Impera tives of duty must be divinely spoken and warmed. It's not the act. but the motive that gives quality. The love of God to us in Chr,lst Jesus drawing us into fellowship with the Infinite heart Imparts the highest quullty to our deeds. Hate is another thread in the warp., We have earned advanced university degrees In this accomplishment. In stance civil wars and religious inquisi tions. There Is an Orientalism in Thuglsm, whose votaries worship the sword as the Greek his Icon. Killing Is worship wherein they do the will of their goddess. Asceticism could have a patent office all its own for in struments of flagellation devised to scourge monks Into hatred of this beautiful world. Count the number of those yon hate. We naturally love friends and hate enemies. From Christ we learn to hate aright. The Pharisee's law was: "Be holy, as the Lord your God in holy." Jesus sat at meat in a Pharisee's house. There were good Pharisees. There were others whom the Master branded as "generation of vipers, straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel; with out whlted sepulchres, and full of deud men's bones within." Not tho Pharisees, but their sins, Jesus bated. The cross shows God's immeasurable hatred of sin. Paul delivered the most drastic philippics against flu, the de stroyer of soul. ' To describe sin as the glory of the Imperfect Is worse than criminal. We ought to hate sin with all passion. Work is a prominent thread In the warp. Love, hate, fear are emotional. John, Wesley, in his experience of saving faith, says the heart was fltrungely warmed. The Sermon on the Mount Is n message to the heort. The feelings have reared the great faiths. "Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh." Tonurseour feel ings for themselves Is irreligious. They must issue in acts. Hunger leads us to cat, not for the titillatlon of the palate, but to restore lost tissue and jouiplete the body. The blessiug of hungering and thirsting after right eousness is in leading to the activity that fills us with the fullness of God. True character Is within. But "no man llveth to himself." "Let your light shine" Is the command to op led If. v that character. To be seen, it must be in good works, and those best seen are to men's bodily needs. Klee oiosynary provisions must always characterize Christians. Why tin St ml led tha Bible. The Rev. Itusscll Blgelow Pope, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, who recently died in his sixtieth year, ac tonipllshod that which seems almost to be beyond belief. Ho read tho Bible through lfiO times, thirty -eight times In one year, and once lu one day. He made liiG own concordance, and could give almost any chapter and verse lu any part of the Bible at call. For forty yeurs ho read the Greek Testament through carefully once n quarter. His reason for this close and accurate searching of the Scriptures is given by Dr. Pope In the Christian Advocate, as follows: "Once upon a time I called at a drug store oud asked for a certain medicine. Tho clerk went to the back of the store and laid his hand on the unmarked vial. 'How do you know that this is the medicine I inquired for? He replied, 'I know my store, and then I made up my mind that I would know the entire Word like that.' Russian Riddles.

Where fowls are confined in rattler close quarters during the summer it is a good plan to arrange so that the poultry yard can be cleaned or ehse divided In two cr more sections so that one can be renovated while the other la being used. It the yard is of the ordinary garden soil It should be spaded under to the depth of the spade after first cleaning out the worst of the ail li. Then sow this space to onts or rye and allow It to grow for two weeks; then turn the poultry Into this yard and treat the other yard in the somo manner. A Kalian For Mwlne The argument that swine can be fed more cheaply on corn than on any thing else Is fallacious If one counts for any value the increased gain In a given period under the other ratlou. True, If corn Is low In price and other rations excessively high, then the corn Is the cheaper food provided the carcass brings a fairly high price. It has been demonstrated repeatedly that in most localities the Ideal balanced ration for swine during the winter Is one-half middlings and one-half coruineal, vary ing the ration by an occasional feed of corn on tho ear .without, of course, the middlings. A still cheaper ration, giving quite ns good results, consists of one-third soy bean meal and two-thirds cornme.il, provided the former can bo bought at a fair price. It has been proved be yond question thnt an entire corn ra tion lays tho animal open to various diseases, and that, beyond' a certain point, the exclusive corn ration adds practically nothing to the weight of the animal, so that nothing Is gained in feeding more than is necessary to sus tain life. Try one of the balanced ra tions suggested, and you will find It profitable, as others have. Indianapo lis News. By ns Soil Protector. While rye is not considered all that is desirable as a cover crop It certainly is far better than to allow the soil to remain uncovered nil winter. We have found great benefits in sowing rye after harvesting the last potato crop, and especially on the fields that are sandy. We take pains, however, to fertilize the soil before sowing the rye, realiz ing that It has little nianurial value, but, on the other hand, riiust take some plant food from the soil or its support. The main value of the rye is in the fact that the soil is kept open by hav ing this growth on it, hence obtains and holds a certain quantity of mois ture which will be needed tho follow ing summer by the growing crops. What will be done with the crop i:i the spring must be decided by condi tions. It may be desirable to feed it to stock, but if this is not necessary and the soil on which it grew Is lack ing in humus It would be most desira ble to plow it under in the spring to benefit the next crop in the rotation, no matter what It may be. In any event, have some sort of cover crop for the soil and conserve the foods in It rather thau let them bo destroyed to a greater or less extent by the ele ments. Indianapolis News. Shoeing Young Hor. Trouble conies In this work when there is improper handling the- first time the colt Is shod, so that before the colt Is taken to the blacksmith for the first time he should bo prepared for shoeing by handling his legs in Ruch a careful manner that ho Is not to be harmed. The rule invariably is to take the colt to tho blacksmith first. This is a poor plan. We have found the following method to be au excellent one In preparing the most vicious colts for shoeing: Tie a long strap around the colt's neck, passing it along the near side and between the hind legs, bringing It to fit close to tha body; then pass it un der the strap which is around the neck; then tighten up the strap gradually, holding the colt by the bridle. Tho colt will probably pull n little, but speak to him kindly. When he has be come accustomed to the strap, lower it to a point just above the hock and gradually pull up tho strap until you have lifted the leg, at the Fame time pull back or to the side on tho bridle to keep him from stepping ahead; then take the leg In your hand. The same thing can be done with the other leg, and after tho process bus been gone through several times you will bo Bur prised, to find how easy It Is to lift any of tho colt's legs. American Cul tivator. Acctiorle of Dalrj. Not all dairymen can have the Bub cock test, but none of them is too poor to buy scales and weigh the milk. Yes, this Is the old subject, but it certainly needs repeating until every farmer in tho country who keeps cows and dis poses of the milk In any form, has learned to tell the robber cows from the profitable ones. If many of us are improperly feeding the cows, more of us are feeding with reasonable cor rectness, nnd then losing the profit be. cause wo are feeding cows that do not give profitable results. An accural-' scale, an account book with each cow accurately kert and one will know, by comparison, lu six mouths, which of his animals belong to the butcher. Then there is a little machine known as a feed grinder, which It will pay to have iu the stable and to use for grinding feed for all the stock. One can be had for from $23 to which will grind the feed for ft large number of animals and be good exercise for the horses. A live mau with a little capital can buy one of these grinders and make its cost by grinding for neigh bors at a small toll. A Gentian dairy mau worked this plan and obtained, as toll, nearly enough grain to feed his own herd of seven cows. It may be possible In a progressive neighborhood to Lny one of these machines in com bination. Work tho two plans sug gested, and with the proper feed, tho proper care of the cows and Uuj proper condition of the stables, one will have a much better idea bow they stand lu the spring than ever before, Iudluu apolls News. Fitrinar's Toat. Harper Weekly suggests thnt lu these days of agricultural prosperity w should not forget the flu old arM J farmer's toast not uncommonly found on English drinking vessels in for.ner tlir.es. It goes as follows: "Let the wealthy and great' Roll lu splendor and state. I envy them not, I declare it. I eat my own lamb, My chickens and ham, I shear my own fleece and I wear It. I have lawns, I have bowers, I have fruits, I have flowers. The Inrk Is my morning alariner; So my jolly boys now Here's God speed the plow, Long life nnd success to the farmer." The young man on the farm who Is tempted to go to the town or city, giving up a substantial certainty for doubtful prospects, would do well to consider the truth expressed in these lines. The farmer's life Is the most Independent, and is beset with less temptations than any other. It Is the nearest to nature and the farthet away from the degenerating artificial ities of the modern world. It Is because of this artificiality and Its false standards that the ten-dollar-a-week clerk, who may be tired any day and not bo able to pay his laundry bill, Is led to consider himself superior of the strong, sun-browned harvester who gathers his own crops on his own land. There are higher prizes than those that are won by the successful farmer, but those higher prizes are too often secured In part through a moral com promise and a sacrifice of self-respect which the farmer Is never called upon' to make. For Htrnlnlnl Milk, A South Dakota ninn has patented an attachment for milk cans which Is designed for straining the milk ns it flows into the palls. This attachment consists of a funnel-shaped device which can be Inserted Into or removed from the pails at pleasure. The milk can be practically inclosed by a cover, an opening being made in tho centre for the insertion of the attachment, the latter being held in place by a collar that fits snugly in the neck. The body of the attachment Is shaped like a funnel, which extends down ward Into the pail and Is closed by n bottom, the central portion being shaped like a hollow cone, intended KEEPS DUST CUT OP THE MILK. to serve as a settling chamber In the sides of the funnel ore openings cov ered by screens or strainers, while an other screen extends across the top of the funnel. In use the milk received in the fun nel will pass through the upper funnel screen into the Interior of the strainer and then into the settling chamber. The heavier particles of foreign matter will gravitate Into and remain In tho settling chamber, while the lighter par ticles will be caught by the strainers as the milk falls out of the funnel into the pall. This attachment can also be used us a ventilating cover for a milk can by inverting It aud placing It on the can, the screen openings permitting free passage of air. Philadelphia Rec ord. Or pel In Chtcke'.is. That dreadful disease, the gapes, de stroys many, many chicks every year. It Is not really a disease, for the chick is not what we might call sick, but it gradually becomes weakened and ex hausted from tho frequent yawning or gaping, until Its vitality is gone and soon it Is no more. . Gapes are caused by small parasites lodging In the trachea, or windpipe, of the chick. Most of these worms are fork shaped, although straight ones are sometimes found. They hatch in dump ground or wuter and are found by the chicks and swallowed. Perhaps ti Mrd may swallow only one worm, i a short time it multiplies and lines we may find a dozen worms throat nt one time. ;n a flock Is Infested, there are .ul ways of getting rid of the pests, ....I Is, if they are given attention as soon as the disease Is discovered. As soon as possible separate the sick from the well ones and apply a remedy; If one fulls, try another. If attended to as soon ns the gaping Is noticed, a small bit of camphor gum, or three or four drops of turpentine mixed In a pint of soft food will gen erally effect a cure. Another, Is to dip a feather in the prepared camphor or turpentine, run it down the chick's throut, give a sharp turu to remove, and quite often the worm will cling to the feather. . Tho fumes of burning carbolic ald Is another very good remedy. Fasten a screen about the middle of a barrel or box. Tut the chicks on the screen, then put a few drops of the acid o:i a red-hot shovel and set In the lower half of tho box or barrel; as the smoke arises and fills the upper half where the chicks are, watch them very care fully, as it is liable to suffocate them If kept In too long. Sul;ihur may be used In the same way with good suc cess. Instead of doctoring, let us strive to prevent this disease; quite often it Is through our own carelessness thut this trouble comes. Gapes are seldom found where the fowls have good food and pure water, and where cleanliness about the house and runs is strictly observed. M. D. II., la the Iudlaua Farmer.

ETiVORTH LHGDE LESSONS 8UNDAV, JANUARY FOURTEENTH A Love-Controlled Life. John 4. 16-21. The highest ideal of the Christian life Is attainment through service. 'To every man hiH work.' For service there must be power. God's work will not do Itself. Wishing will not do It. Praying will not do It, though prayer will, for real prayer has the power promised to It. The power must be adequate. He who would meet the need of the world has a large task. Tho world's forces are Insufficient and unfit Legisla tion is a cure-all, with a record of widespread failure behind it. Com petition is not even the life of trade any longer. .Emulation Is merely a rather less objectlonablo form of strife. Selfishness brings somo things j to pass, but it does not help men. All ii'itra hth too ie-eoie, loo ninn, nnd they cannot be geared on to the task of serving tho world and satisfying men's need. There is no way to ad-. JiiRt them to that sort of work. It Is In tho new commandment of Christ that the world's greatest force is found: "Love one another, as I have loved you." That Is tho test of the Christian. ''Lovest thou me?" Then prove it. , Love is the stuff of which the Chris tian llfo Is made. There are gifts, great and blessed. -The parable of the tulents has abundant application to Christians. Seek eagerly the best gifts. But tho graces are higher than the talents, and the supreme grace Is love. Love Is of God. It is God's normal attitude toward man. The first pur pose of God in creation, and his later purpose In redemption, both grow out of his love. It is the great, cen tral, all-mastering motive of God. Whatever cannot stand the love-test Is not divine. All the darker things we relate to God's person and activity must be related to love in some way, or they do not belong to God. Retri bution, Judgment, the divine displeas ure, are all to be understood In tho light of tho love of God. They are tremendously real, Just because they have this vital relationship to love. There Is no wrath like ''the wrath of the Lamb,' which is lovo trying to express itself, and being restrained by sin. The things which are unlovely are not of God. Take the opposltes of the virtues ascribed to love by Paul In his great love-hymn, und name them one by one. Thoy are all of the devil. Unklndiiess, Impatience, arrogance, rudeness, discord, ambition, suspicion, deception all have on them the mark of evil. The new life in Christ is a life of righteousness. There Is no di vorcing of love from holiness. But there Is no need for It. Love is the fulfilling of the law. We see crimes and vice and misdemeanors, but they are not tho essence of sin. They are but symptoms. The real sin Is back of thein, In the heart where nt love Is. Who loves needs no law, for he Is under a higher law. Knowledge is a shifting qunntlty. We measure social progress by the repeal of old laws. We measure intellectual pro gress by tho discarding of old knowledge. We measure spiritual progress by the discovery of new channels for love. Love Is never old fashioned, never antiquated, never shamed by the advance of the world's civilization. JANUARY FOURTEENTH. What Christ Taught About Money and Its Uses. Matt. 2:11; Mark 10:17-31. As a cup of cold water, so our gold given to "one of these little ones," is still given to Jesus. We would all be eager for eternal life If we could have it on our own terms and lu our own way. Put Mark 10:23, 24, together: "How hard Is It for those that have riches not to trust In riches!" How can men pray la the same breath, "Lead us not Into tempta tion," and "O God, make us rich"? (Mark 10:20.) Make your consecration coin-sccra-tion! as some one has said, "a purso-an-all consecration." Many a poor man is a miser in his spirit. It's the spirit that possesses one, aud not the possessions. Always weigh out your money on the scales of eternity. No one can safely take a dollar In hia hand till he is ready to lay it In the hand of Christ. Money should be only a tool; some people make it tho building, and live there. "Riches have wings and fly away." If thoy are well spent, they fly to heaven and await you there. No safe is an object of beauty. If God does not give you much money, probably he has better uses for you. We toll and moll and' scrape and make ourselves anxious about the dust and dross of tho earth; and all the while God is holding forth to us In vain the crown of immortality and the golden keys of the treasures of heaven. F. W. Farrar. The Juniors are the future of Christian Endeavor. Without a Jun ior society, the work in your church has no assured continuance. No Junior society can be carried on without great self-denial on the part of somebody; but no work pays bet ter. The older Endoavorers should light en in every way the labors of the Junior superintendent, gladly form ing a strong Junior committee to as sist her. If no superintendent can be found, this Junior committee can superin tend the Juniors lu partnership. Many pastors have become Junior superintendents, and have found this the most fruitful work of their ministry. Once a year the Juniors that are ready for it should gradunte into the older society, where they should at once be put to work.

One of the former Is covered with moss green velvet with a broad galoii, worked with sky-blue chenille on a giuce foundation of the two colors. An Indent Is cut in the right side of the brim on each of which the galon is curved round shell-forms. Between this opening In the brim and the crown nestles a bird tho plumage of which is dark, with little touches of white. It Is entirely of a fanciful order aud the tall Is of white gouru. Another toque with n full beret crown Is built up of a deep mordore brown velvet and trimmed with wings of a copper hue set outside tho brim at the back and on the left side. Both these toques are raised at the buck on a narrow bandeau concealed by bows of ribbon. Less Importance is given to the c.ichepelguo than In tho lute summer models, und I am Inclined to think that the fashion of piling up the hair very high on the top of the bend will help to bring about a further change in tu!s respect. Millinery Trade Review. Wealth Handful lo :lrl. "Much money too much money," said a New Yorker who bus known tho towu for fifty years, "is more harmful to our young women than It Is to our young men, though the Lord k iows, It is bane enough to our young men. It is a different sort of harm, though, to the girls it unscxes them. The effect is not quite so 1ml In the lesser titles because they have less money, and the atmosphere is clearer. But In New York anil the New Y'ork girls well, when I think of the con trast between some of the girls I know here and their grandmothers I used to know It mukes me sick at heart for the generations wl.o are to be mothered by these girls, if, Indeed, they ever be come mothers. "I am speaking row of the really rich girls who have all the money to spend that they want. For example, I know one girl of twenty-five who looks as it she were forty, nnd she has $J5,000 a year income. Not a great deal as incomes go In New York, per haps, but a good deal for one girl to peud on. herself. - This glii goes the pace of a man, except that she is of good moral character, as w ni:dcr stnnd that In a woman. She lias L?r horses and her dogs and her yarn? not n very large one, but large e loi'gh and she has the manners of a man. and very nearly the masculine voice. "Does she gamble? Of course, t don't think I kuow a rich young wom an who won't wager something or oilier. The beginners, nnd the very sensitive, won't bet mcney, but thry'll bet what costs money. This girl w unusually, huiidsome when she was sixteen, but she shows only traces cf It now. "I know another wllh $12,000 yesr allowance from her mother who spends it all on her own pleasure, and she linn become as course as n washerwoman and talks like a teamster. I know anj quantity of girls who swear profanely. I heard a rich society woman, oh! enough to know better, curse at her coachman one night in front of the Metropolitan Opera House. If the couchmun had used the language that lady did, he would have been arrested for disorderly conduct. I don't soy thnt the money made that woiunn vul gar and profane, but I know that her mother would have cut her tongue out before she would have laid it to sucu language. "And the stories they tell. Good Lord, I've sut at a supper table In one of the finest houses In Fifth avenue with millions of money nrotind me anil heard young men and young women tell stories and howl with delight over them thnt would redden the cheeks of a Carrara marble statue. I don't say the money did It, but I do say thnt I know many young women who don't have money Iu excess, and they are uot that kind. "The girl who has money must hav something to do, and as the ordinary domestic occupations are dosed to hpr she must go to social divertlsemrnts 9 keep her mind nnd body engaged. The trend of society is to excess of some sort no matter what is done it tnnst be done to the limit nnd naturally tho girls fall into the customs of the peop of whom they form a part. If they like horses they are not satisfied wltli n pair to drive and possibly one to ride, aud have a man to look after them, but they want to own a drove aud get in among them themselves, and talk horse and smell horse and act horse. With dogs It Is the same, anil a dog-girl will talk about the breeding of the animals und their disorders nnd. their points lu a way fit only for pro fessional fanciers and vcterlnnrles. If they take up athletics the same policy is pursued, and the girls are not satis fied unless they out-man the men iu all the courses of physical exercise ami training. "Money gives onr young women mannish independence that ordinary girls do not have, and they have no do mestic counterbalance. The rrrjlt f thnt many of our rich girls as a rale are not the best material for wives and mothers, and, as they cannot bo husbands and fathers, they occupy it middle ground, which Is unnatural ami undesirable. If I had daughters wltli money to excess I should not renr them iu the New Y'ork atmosphere, nor should they have unlimited me'nns. even if I hud to put the money iu tbs hands of trustees and allow them on'.y a reasonable portion of their income. There Is nothing better in this world than a good woman good in mind and heart and body, and when she bns the means to spread her goodness among; those who are not so fortunate as she, then she becomes the supreme earthty good she is good, and the money is good. But when she becomes deworn unized by her money, then tho woman Is bad, and the money is bad, and w have in New York more dewomanur.cil young women than anywhere on earth, not excepting London. There they are worse than ours, but there are lot so ninny of them. Dewomanizutico, asr I express It, does not mean immoralityj but there are qualities In a womnnt which make her much less attractive ns a real woman than a lack of virtue, and ii woman may be vicious although she be virtuous. "I don't say that our rich New York: young women are vicious, but 1 do. say that the poet did not have one of these I have been talking about la mind when he wrote: A T.uily with s Lamp shall s's-m! lu the great hiiitory of the land, A noble type of good, Heroic woman hood.
