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

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. She was
good hearted woman, ad thinking the
wanderer might appreciates dainty he
bad added a dish of ice cream to the

a minute or two he was ready for it and
she stood by to note his enjoyment.
"I beg your pardon, mum," lie said as

kiud enough to give me a fork to eat
this cream with?" aud the good woman

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

Royal (lamiaa Dinners.
A characteristic of all dinners given to
the court and military oflloials by the em
peror and empress of Germany is that
there is always provided a dish of sweet
meats, which holds as well picture of
the royal pair and their children, each
bonbon having a likeness painted npo i
it And when the bouts retire there is
something approaching a scrambleamong
the dignified officers and functionaries
for one of theae tnttch valued souvenirs
to take home to equally eager wives and
daughters. New York Times.
