Co you kn.)w tlmt Ihere Is a class of peoptawhoiuffertnd of whom the world never hnt.nl I mean those whom we are pt to cnll the genteel poor. The are mlwuyi with os. Id my life I have lit j tenet! to a great many queer ttorlea about them, amt they are really to be pitied. They are, muiiy of them, single women of uncertain age, who are obliged to live on iiifiniteMmal incomee and with an amount of style. They can't bring their ideas down to the level of their for tunes. They have always been used to, certain things, and they must have or at leant appear to have them. They can live only in a particular part of town, no natter if the rent consumes tiie biggest part of their funds, and they must do other things in just proportion. How do they do it? Why, with an amount of in genuity that would be valuable in a bet ter cause. They "manage." That ie the word. The genteel poor "manage" to get along and get along by "managing." Take a case that I happen to know about. They were a pair of sister who tented apartment. I am not afraid to assert that they lived n samples. They went 'rota one grocer to anothet and collected, little by little, .'almost all the things they needed for their meager menage. Sample cans of soup furnished their table at many a inliMny meal. Their cracker jar was a wonderful mixture of different brands. They did so like a va riety, they said. Their bonbon dish was replenished in a way that seemed little .short of stealing. They would make pe--riodical calls at various confectioners nd at each take a bit of candy from the piles that were exposed to view. Hidden in a bag. or in a muff if it was winter, the aggregate of this booty when taken home formed quite a dishful and helped tout at their afternoon receptions, which, in accordance with their ideas of hospi tality and the traditions of their family, :they always gave during the season. I used to wonder how they felt when they knelt on Sundays before that gor geous shrine which they affected and gave the response to that solemn admo nition, "Thou shalt not steal," bnt I 'fancy they thought it was perfectly le gitimate. .They always dressed in black, and 1 iai sure I don't know how they "man aged" their wardrobes. I suppose the bargain counters helped them out, and I fancy their gowns were sometimes made by a very swell dressmaker whom years . ago they employed as a seamstress and 'introduced to their wealthy friends. By this the woman was enabled to get a footing, and no doubt gratitude prompt id her to give them tome help in the re construction of their wardrobes. But this was long ago. I wonder if the younger sister, who now occupies a position as the wife of a wealthy man, is aware that I know all about the gown he woie when she met the man who emancipated her from the thraldom of petty economy. I doubt it, but I do, and 1 am going to tell yon. The two women had been invited to a dinner given by a swell friend. The elder cuuld not go on account of ill health, but tlie younger must. Then came the question of what to wear. Ev erything had been exhausted, and there was. mo moneyt for a costume. At last, in despair, the younger woman opened a trunk filled with clothing from the rec torytheir childhood's home. She had itt Within its depths there was the black Silk robe that her father had worn. It was heavy and of beauti ful texture. Its ample folds would make a short skirt and part of a waist. While in a quandary as to what would fill out the deficiency she saw beneath the velvet pall that had covered her fa ther's coffin. It had been the last loving tribute of a sick parishioner. Here were the train and another part of the waist. Did no thought of its association with the dead man or remembrance of the sol emn service return toher, you ask? Not .a bit of it. Beneath-St, crumpled np In many . creases, was the crape that had draped ithe altar. Behold what a cos tume was evolved! A,kng train of vel vet over a skirt of heavy black silk trim med with folds of crape, whose somber blackness served to make still whiter the neck displayed beneath the docollote cor isage. She waselegant inSeed, and at the dinner she played her cards so well that he captured anextremely eligible bach elor, and her straggles were over. But think of itl I know you'll say, "Oh, the pity of it!" Von have often heard thesaying: "God help the rich. The poor can beg." I say the Lord's poor will be taken care of, but pity, oh, pity, -the genteel jioorl Boston Herald. A Real well. The tramp had called at a house where there had been a party the night before nd had been given awry good weal at the kitchen table, with the lady of the bouse superintending the least.

Mrs. Tigg. a very charming and viva cious wlilov, i-alled recently on a legal friend of hrr.-t to consult him on a matter of Interest to her. "You know, sir," she said to him, "that when the late Mr. Pigg died he left me all his fortune, much to my satisfaction, of conrse, but he handicapped me with the name of Pigg, which I most aay I don't like." "Well," ventured the attorney, "I pre sume a handsome woman isn't especially complimented by being left a Plgg." "I should aay not," she laughed. "Now, what I came to see you about was whether or not 1 must apply to the legis lature to get it changed." "Um er." he hesitated as If wreotling with a great legal problem, "um er yes, but an easier way is to apply to a parson, and I'll pay all the expenses my elf." It was sudden, but a widow is never caught napping, and she appointed that evening for another consultation. De troit Free Press. Royal (lamiaa Dinners.
