ROMERO AND THE MEXICAN MINISTER'S HOUSEHOLD — MINISTER ZELEDON'’S WIFE — A LADY FROM COSTA RICA—DR, GUZMAN'S WIFE A NATIVE OF MARYLAND, The reconvening of representatives of three Americas to consider questions of affairs relat- ing to commercial and other mutual interests Baturally suggests to the feminine world the query—What ladies accompany these gentle- men of renown? Several of the delegates are members of the diplomatic corps and have been residents for several years of the capital city, where their wives are already well known and highly ap- Feeciated in society. Of the other delegates but few of the representatives have ladies with them. MRS. ROMERO, the wife of the Mexican minister, having been &@ resident of Washington for over seven years, her face is well known amoug the frequenters of society. She is a little below mediam height, has a plump figure, good features, ale blue and brown hair. is affa- ¢ ble and pieasing in her manners. She was born and reared in F jel- phia—a Miss Loulie Olive, and was edacated at the convent of the Sacred Heart in Man- hattan. On leaving school and returning to her home in Philad phia she met and mar- ried Senor Don Romero, “Although,” she said to a STAR representa- ‘9S.

The Mexican women are lovely With their rich. dark complexions and Inxu- Fiaut Spanish type of beauty, with great melt- ing black eyes; such a contrast to our blonds.” Mrs. Komero, having no children, has abundant leisure to devote to society. of which she confesses to being “very fond.” quite eagerly superintending Fangements prepara gates and guests during the three Americas congress, The and dinner parties in abun¢ "shaudsome home on I street wiil be the coming season of many Hurtado. wife of Don Jose Marcelino Hurtado, minister plenipotentiary from Colombia, is with her husband at the Hotel Arno.

Perry, British consul general, resident in Venice for many years, and her mother, Geraldine de Courcy, sister of the present Lord Kingsale. Mrs. Hurtado was born in Italy and thus may be said to have been born into diplomatic fe. ‘The minister and Mrs: Hurtado have one child, a daughter, who is married to the Mar- an Bentivoglio and who now resides in ‘enice. her home. She spent last winter in Washington and was greatly admired for her beauty and vivacity and was exceedingly popular in society. Mrs, Hurtado herself has not been able to take a very activ for some time owing to injuri an accident, from which she is only now recov- ering. MRS, ZELEDON. For several months past Senor PedroPerez Ze- ledon, envoy extraordinary and minister pleni- Potentiary from Costa Rica, has resided at 1227 Mstreet, in a spa house. | Mi don isan agr whom one would searce- ly imagine to be the mother of eight chil- dren, as she is youthful looking, yet dignified and matronly in appear- ance.

She has been in America about 4 year and is charmed with Washington; but her children, especially the younger ones, are in delicate health, which is the cause of the min- ister’s taking the madame and six of the little ones to Costa Rica for a change. Mrs. edon is musical. devoted to poetry and proud of her children's rapid mastery of English, although she does not speak it herself, Her lovely little daughter, Pucifiea Perez, officiated gracetully as interpreter as Tne representative conversed with Mrs. remar! While Minister and M absent Master Marco and Emilio, who go to the Franklin school, will be with Delegate and Mrs. Aragon, who have apartments at 1012 13th street, MRS. ARAGOX. Among the ladies accompanying delegates to the congress is Mrs. Aragon, the wife of Hon. Manuel Aragon, from Costa Rica. Thi Mrs. Aragon’s first visit to America and she is en- joying it greatly. She is a lady of mediam height, very dark eyes nd hair, thoroughly Spanish in’ type and ap- pearance, She expressed erself delighted with the beautiful drives about Washington aud the brilliant park: every turn. With for the beaut is a charater: representative fond of music, painting BS. ARAGON. and poetry, Mrs. Aragon has devoted much time to music especially, and until the death of ‘her daughter, a lovely maiden of fifteen, frequently took part in musical gather- ings. She mourns deeply the loss of the dxughter whom she idolized. She will remain in Washington some time, wsibly the entire season, at least as long as can leave his affairs in Costa MRS. GUZMAN. Senor Don Horacio Guzman, minister from Nicaragua, the youngest member of the diplo- matic corps, has a charming and accom- plished wife. Mrs. Guzmén is an American by birth, Her grand- father, “Hon. Samuel Zthat name. He was a (member of the bar and a hfe-long resident of is Philudelphia, Her \ father, Rev. Chas, Ew- Sing. was an eminent theologian and a distin- guished scholar, He married Miss Charlotte MADAME Page, who wus born in Salem, Mass., but spent GCL MAN, the most of hor life in Virginia, within a few miles of Washington. The charm of her per- sonality and manner is still cherished, both in the place of her birth and by the older resi- dents of this city. Although Mrs, Guzmin was born in Baltimore while her parents were temporarily Fesiding there, her entire early life was spent in Philadelphia, except the time she was in Boston studying languages and music. The death of her mother occurred in her girlhcod and the responsibility of her father’s household devolved upon ber. While Senor Guzman was in this country at- tending the Jefferson college in Philadelphia tsa medical student Mise Ewing firet met him. Senor Guzman was graduated under the ver erable Dr. Gross. After two years’ acquaint- ance with Miss Ewing their sens along sol- doctor took his bride to Gra- nada, His father was « former president ot Nicaragua and is 4 well-known statesman, bat Dr. Guzman, always devoted to medical science, built up a large and extensive i science. Mrs, Guzman is a decided bionde, with light hair, brown eyes Bapplly betas the hase fae Bae iy eo has a beauti- ft well-rounded an on of manner, en ‘ which gives assurance much strength of ‘Sharscter, arms and a ‘Bhe iss good musician, sings well! Zpook nd, with all, is devoted to her home, studying | to make it attractive, and she succeeds admira- biy, for her husband prefers. home to club life. In speaking of the recent discussions going the rounds of the press, viz: “Is marriage a failure?” Mrs. Guzmin remarked that she felt almost tempted to write on the subject her- self. She expressed the opinion that if young ladies were taught that to secure a husban: was less difficult than it was to retain his love, hen lar admiration osbosd marriage there wo! fewer unhappy lives. Mrs, Guzman. expressed an enthusiastic admiration of Central America aud her life there after she became acclimated. The first year of her residence in Granada was a trying one and she was seriously ill, but since that time she has had uniformly good health. She has studied every phase of life and character there and has bad so many strange and varied experiences that it would not be surprising if she wrote a book, as her tastes, like her husband's, are literary, She is proud of her own native land and delighted to returu to it, and yet she dearly loves her adopted home. Dr. Guzman is a delegate to the international congress and one of the directors in the Nicaragua ship-canal project, and these interests, with his duties as minister, will keep bim constantly engaged. Their home, 1224 17th street. has been under- going some chauges preparatory to the social season and Mrs. Guzman, who is very fond of company, will entertain a good deal the coming season. She has no children, but birds and flowers are her pets. A parrot brought from Granada talks Spanish fluently, English as well, and sings and cries so exactly like e child that one is surprised to know it is only mimicry. She greatly enjoyed the sum- mer and has visited West Point, Marblehead, Bar Harbor and, finally Saratoga Springs. nes. nacnbenas Advance Agent for Miss Velms. From The Omaha World-Herald.

The Latest Feminine Fraud, From the New York World. ‘Two young wud pretty women entered a | Broadway car, each carrying in her arms a little parcel in the most tender and motherly fashion, So solicitous were they over their respective parcels that a lullaby seemed almost bursting from their lips. They were not nurse girls, so they must be mothers, although it was apparent they were young mothers, and very me ones wit! Half a dozen men jumped up to offer them seats. The giris giggled as they sat down—and no wonder, for the bundles they carried in such a motherly fashion had been deftly improvised, under a sudden inspiration, to regress babies. There was little of them € @ crook of the arm and a lace handker- chief to cover a supposititious babe, but enough to deceive poor, trustful man. Tho giggle was general, for the girls had obtained seats on a new and an plan, Pa Was Too Anxious,— “Maria, bas 8 AY AR TO SPE $20.000 A Young Bachelor of Fashion Who Thiuks it is Not Too Much. IF RE I8 GOING TO LIVE IN REAL PROPER STYLE, KEEP A MODEST EQUIPAGE WELL AND CUT A FIGURE SOCIALLY—HOW HE FIGURES OUT THE EXPENDITURES OF THE YEAR, “Twenty thousand dollars a year is not 8 Penny more than a young man of fashionin this generation needs to live upon comfortably,” said thatagreeable and elegant youth, T. Fal- coner, esq., at the club the other night. “But, Tommy,” replied one of the other men in the group, ‘‘we all notice that you manage to keep up appearances pretty well, and yet itis not supposed that you have more than half that income.” “You mean that I dress expensively, keep & man, live in rather decent bachelor quarters, have twoor three horses, and throw away a good deal of money on all sorts of foolishness.” “Tt has always seemed to me that you lived like a lord,” said another member of the party dryly, “But. of course, I have looked upon your butterfly existence with the jealous eye of one who has to grub for his bread and butter. PRIVATION ON $10,000 4 YEAR. “Demmit, Billings, you're forever chafting. I've not the slightest doubt that you make quite as large an income as I have, though you prefer to spend it in different and more mys- terious ways. However, though I may live like a lord, as you say, it's a grim fact that I have the utmost difficulty in scraping along, financially speaking. I don’t mind saying so frankly, since it’s a matter of public notoriety that I'm head over ears in debt, The mamma ofarather pretty girl to whom I have paid some very mild attentions of late was kind enough to inform a gossiping old relative of mine the other day that she would not regard me as a desirable parti for her daughter, inas- much as the father-in-law presumptive would doubtless be expected to settle my financial obligations incidentally to the matrimonial ar- rangement, Considering the fact that I had never fora moment thought of marrying the young woman, I may be excused for thinking this a little tough. “But, as I was going to re- mark, I should be perfectly satisfied if I possessed sufficient means to comfortably su port my present scale of living without consid- eration of pennies, without running into debt and without— “Without extravagance,” WHAT EXTRAVAGANCE REALLY Is. “Precisely. For extravagance. in the proper sense of the word, is simply expenditure be- yond one’s means. Not approving of extrava- gance myself, on the ground that it produces unhappiness and is therefore immoral, I wish that my means were greater, so that my ex- | penditure might fall within them, If I had the wealth of W. K. or Cornelius Vanderbilt—say as much as is piled up in the big silver vault under the Treasury—my prosent scale of living would be pinching economy, Asit is, on 210,000 # year, I must plead guiliy of extravagance because my expenditure exceeds that amount. Tean't live on it, somehow, and yet I am far from being a spendthrift, On thie contrary, I am compelled to look after my dollars pretty |sharply. You see, a man who has all his time on his hands is obliged to'find occupation in amusement, and it is surprising to observe how much it costs to amuse one’s self during sixteen hours ata stretch, No matter what the distraction is it costs mone That is one ad- vantage in hay business pursnit—you can’t very well spend mouey during business hours, Anyhow, the fact is that I have to economize severely, which is painful, and I have accumu | lated debts which dccasion me constant aunoy- ance. If I bad $20,000 a year L id live as T do now, without extrayagance, without debts and without having to give serious consider- ation to my expenses, Vor this reason I say that $20,000 is uot a penny more per annum than is essential to the comfort of a young man in my position, You must remember that I have no vices worth mentioning.” “You are certainly a model of virtue,Tommy,” said a fourth of the group. ; VIRTUE 1S SOMETIMES MERELY PRUDENCE. “I defy you to prove otherwise. I don’t pre- tend that I'm virtuous because I'm good, but for the reason that I haven't a natural vice in any shape. My notion of ha . not getting fuddled with wine. I do not enjoy the companiouship of women who are not la- dies and the peculiar development of the pas- sion avarice, culled gambling, is to me unpleaa- jaut. As for the last point—particularly as re- gards poker—I have noticed that two or three men in aclub invariably win all the money in the long-rtn through superior skill ut the game, while tae others simply contribute. I find no gratification myself in being a source of in- ia this way to gentlemen of my acquaint- +. Lhuatis the way this fellow Berry Wail, who earued a brief notoriety by dressing badly and in a manner to attract attention, got away with a good deal of hiscash. I met the man at one of the Philadelphia assembly balls about seven years ago, when be had just come into bis money, perhaps 100,000, which his father had earned by making ropes and shaving notes. He wore an extraordinary stud, made of a dia- mond and two big pearls, in the middle of his shirt, and almost the first remark he made to me was that he had lost 7500 the night before at poker—all the cash he had brought with him from New York—but he ‘supposed his check was good for any amount.’ He lost thousands of doliars at baccarat in a sort of sporting club in New York, wasted more thousands on turf betting and threw away an additional pile in Wall street; so his check isn’t good for a penny today. However, as 1 was saying, Lam not gifted with any inclination to pursue these forms of amusement. _ Fora man who indulges Pee for them no income whatever will suf- ice.” “Perhaps You will tell us whiat a thoroughly virtuous and pious youth may do with $20,000 @ year?” HOW TO SQUANDER JUDICIOUSLY. “I didn’t say I was pious, Billings; no one has ever accused me of that. As for the rea- sonable expenditure of $20,000 a year bya young bachelor in my position, it is easy enough, as you yourself must be aware. In the first place, suppose you put down—for I see you have your pencil and note book ready— 1,500 for rooms, I pay that much, and I know that you can’t get a really swell apartment in just the proper spot for less money. You want a living room, a dressing room, two bed rooms andathird for your man, and a bath room. We'll suppose that you already have $2,000 or $3,000 worth of furnishings and that you are at no expense in that way. You take your meals mostly at the club when you are not away or dining out, and your grub, together with pies little stag ere and other unavoidable club expenses, will cost you $1,500 more, Then you must have horses, two or three, a dogeart and acoupe. You don't keep an equipage your- self, and I dare say you don’t know what that sort of thing mounts up to. New harness and other equipments of all sorts have con- to tinuall: e bought, the horses go lame, and the coupe and dogeart have to be changed for later styles from one season to another. A horse is as expensive to keep as a man, or more so, and you must have agroom,too. Put down $5,000 for that item of stable, and it will not be excessive. Now, if you are going to dress properly. your tailor’s bill will not less than $1,500 for the year, You want your clothes made exceptionally well, and it will pay you to offer an extra price, which shall be an inducement to the sartori expert to do his level best for you, just as you would give a tip to a barber. I have a stand- ing agreement with my tailor—and I never go elsewhere, because I owe him about $3,000—to pay him 20 ee cent over and above his sched- ule price for everything he makes for me, And sol am always perfectly fitted, the best cutter in the establishment makes me his special care, andI am never bothered about the bill. It is, perhaps, a good thing to be in- debted to your tailor: it causes him to take a particular interest in you. As for bills in gen- eral, the way I manage—” “Bother the bills, Tommy. item in the estimate?” MORE BACHELOR EXPENSES, “The next item-is clothing of all other sorta, such as shoes and shirts and neckties and a thousand and one things, all of which will mount up to about $500 per annum, A like amount, maybe, will cover the wines and cigars that the fellows drink and smoke in your rooms, Of course you have to respoad in some way to the hospitalities offered you at various houses, and the easiest way to do it is by giving a few theater parties du the winter and inviting the girls with their rous.

Flowers Pocket Man.. money, Pious youth's total per annum........€16,200 “That leaves the pious youth a clear bulance of $3.300 unexpended,” suggested the im- promptu accountant. THE PROOF OF THE PUDDING “Not a penny too much for a margin, espe- pecially when you consider that the summer trip to the seashore or to Europe has not yet been appropriated for. Put in 500 for that and you have only $1,300 left for an emergency balance. Youcan readily see now that, as I contended, $20,000 is not excessive. But 1 ad- mit that it is plenty to enable a virtuous young bacheler to live in proper style, without debt or anxiety about making both ends meet, At the same time you will readily comprehend the difficulty lexperience in scratching along on half that sum. It is fortunate that my money is so tied up in trustees’ hands that my cred- itors and myself are equally unable to get at it, else I should before long be reduced to con- fuming the husks of impoverished prodigal- ity.” Written for Tae Evesrxo Stan: SOMETHING NEW FOR CHRISTMAS. Funny Little Quotations From the Poets For Table Service. A novelty in Christmas presents for the ap- proaching gladsome season is in the shape of a set of doylies with little scraps of quotations appropriate to eating and drinking worked on them in filo selle wash silk, They are quite inexpensive, and if one is willing to devote a little labor to them they make a very pleasing gift. Ifthe quotations are well chosen they are likely to afford amusementat the dinner table, and even topics for conversation which are not to be sneezed at. Of course the doy- lies come on with the dessert, beneath the finger bowls, and no one is cxpected to actually wipe hands upon them; but they will wash perfectly all the same. They are made out of very fine linen or India silk cut in squares of eight inches, aud either simply hemstitched with an inch hein or ravelled and hemstitched, so as to make a fringe all around; the simple hemstitch is the latest notion. The quotations should be very brief and must be worked— after being written in lead pencil in a clear round hand—with different colors in silk, each doyley having acolor for itself, The stitches used to form the letters should be ordinary outline stitches, made so fine that serutiny is required to distinguish them, The finding of appropriate quotations for the purpose is no easy matter, and so Tue Stax suggests a few good ones, Here are twelve, fora set of a dozen doylies: ood company, good wine, good welcome.” Round go the flasks of ruddy wine.” ed hour of our dinners,” kere is the man who can live without din- ntch beare in giaas or jug.” i & measure the tabie round.” ivilized man can not live without cooks,” Phere’s pippins and cheese to come. erbet cooling in a porous vase, ‘ocuil parties just begun to din Mewts of all sorts met the gaze, Tuou’st won thy supper.” Or a cunning dozen may be made from Alice in Wouderland,” as follow ed not on us!’ the oyster ¢ “The butter’s spread too thic “A loaf of bread is what we chiefly need.” “Soup of the evening, beautiful soup! “Pepper and vinegar are very good indeed.” “Who for such dainties would not stoop?” jome gave them plum cake, Le little fishes of the a “Game or any other dish, “Cut us another slice,” tle. if you please, “The goose, with the bones and the beak.” Now you have the notion.

Capt. Hughes of the steamship saw the fearful peril which a rescuing party must encounter, but his call for a volunteer was promptly answered by the mate and g crew of brave men, and prep- arations were made for the desperate trip, ‘To the astonishment of all, while the boat was be- ing lowered, the flag of distress on the schoo er's mast was hauled down, Perplexed ut this movement, the hardy rescuers hesitated, but it was finally decided that the boat should go. With great difficulty the schooner was reached, and on her deck were found twelve men utterly without hope except from outside aid. It was necessary to make two trips, and the bold sail- ors of the Lord Gough took’half the suffering men and toiled through the wild waters to their own ship, and returned as soon as possi- ble for the others, When all were safe on the steamer, Capt. Hughes asked the schooner's master, Capt. George W. Pendleton, why he had lowered the distress flag. The reply was, “We saw that you were preparing to make an attempt to save us, but we saw also, that it was asea in which it was very doubtful whether a boat would live. I said, then, to my men, ‘Shall we let those brave fellows risk their lives to save ours?’ and they answered, ‘No!’ Then I hauled down the flag.” ——_———cer-—______ The Common Sense of It. From the Princetown Exchange, The man who conducts bis business on the theory that it doesn’t pay and he can’t afford to advertise sets up his judgment in opposition to that of all the best business men in the world. With a few years’ experience in conducting a small business on a few thousand dollars of capital he assumes to know more than thou- sands of men whose hourly transactions aggre- gate more than his in a year and who have made their millions by pursuing a course that he says doesn’t pay. Why is it that the most successful merchants in every town, large and small, are the heaviest advertisers? If advertising doesn't pay who does the most business? If it doesn't pay to advertise why do the heaviest firms in the world spend millions in that way? Is it be- cause they want to donate those millions of dollars to the newspaper and magazine pub- lishers or because they don’t know as much about business as the — six-for-a-dollar “store keeper” in a coun! town who says money spent in advertising is thrown aon? or donated to the man to whom it is paid? Such aryciees simply ridiculous, and at requires more than the average patience to discuss the proposition of bother wdvercstne pays or not with that kind of aman. His com- placent self-conceit in assuming that he knows more than the whole business world is laugh- able and reminds us of the man who proved that the world doesn’t revolve by placin, pumpkin on a stump and watching it all night, ———eee——__ The Capital of Brazil.

When they discovered their mistake they were so that in- stead of naming the river after our Savior or one of the saints they simply christened it the river discovered in January, However, the city has a street called “Street of Good Jesus,” and others called St. John the Baptist, St. John the Evangelist, &c, ————+ee_____ Wonderful Progress.

WAYS OF THE YOUNG MAN OF FASHION—WMAT TE DOES WHEN HE IS RICH AND WHAT HE SOME- TIMES DOES WHEN HE IS POOR—CUSTOMERS WiO WANG UP DINNERS—TALK ABOUT WINES. Two young men in striking and elaborate togs sat down at atablein a cafe, and one of them who wore a silk hat and a cape coat said to the waiter in an off-hand way: “Bring us a quart of Mumm.” When the menial returned with the wine in ‘an ice pail the purchaser threw a $5 bill down and said carelessly: “Keep the change.” The steward of the hostelry, who was talk- ing on the other side of the room with a Stan writer, for whom he had brought some special delicacy, eyed this performance with an amused expression abont the corners of his mouth, and said in xn undertone: CHEAP SWELLS. “You might suppose from the indifference that youth exhibits as to money that it was of no consequence to him; and yet, curiously enough, I happen to know that he is a clerk in a bank on a small salary with no outside resources worth mentioning. It may be set down as a general truth that no man who really bas plenty of cash and who has always been accus- tomed to the use of wealth ever mukes a dis- play of it in that way, it is always the babita- ally impecunious customer who throws around bis coin, when he has any, to the servants and manifests a conspicuous contempt for vulgar change. Somehow the young man who can only occasionally enjoy the luxury of rattling | afew dollars in his ket cannot resist the temptation, whenbver he has an opportunity, to assume what he imagines to be the airs of riches, Of course he never realizes that he is giving his poverty dead away. men who come here to eat, drink and be merry, the ones who appear the most unassuming are those who really possess means, They feo the wait- ers, but not extravagantly, and, if they have large rolls of bills in their clothes—things. by the way, which few rich men carry around— they tuke care not to show them, And you may put it down as a fact that a customer does not necessarily earn the respect of an attendaut by giving big tips; on the contrary, a waiter only thinks a man a fool who gives too much, how- ever he may veil his contempt for such’ folly behind a mask of servility. A tip of 25 cents is often in much better taste thana dollar. The youthful dude who stalks into this cafe, orders two cigurs for himseif and a friend, pays for them with a dollar bill and waves the waiter away when he brings the change on a silver plate, is not impressing the establishment to such anextent as he imagines; he is much more likely to be taken for a young jackass who lives on his father.” THEY LIVE ON PAP, Young jackasses of that description are de ustomers, I suppose,” suggested the yspaper man, As a rule they don’t ave much money to spend and the ac- counts they hang up are frequently not easy to collect. The same may be said of the young clerks who try to keep up an appearance of fashion on altogether insufficient means. It is a matter of endless astonishment to me how some of these fe! with no incomes to speak of, go out in society, dress well and pretend to be swells with such a fair degree of success. To acertain extent the mystery is explained by the profit and loss accounts ‘of the iorists, the tailors and the hotel keepers. ‘The tailors suffer most, of course, but the florists are vic- tims toa great extent also, and we hotel men lose a good deal in tie course of a year. Un- like the tailor and the florists, this establish- ment never tries to force the payment of a bill either by employing the services of acollector or by suit. If an account is due, we send a bill on the first of each month regu- larly; but, supposing it is not paid at all, no fuss is made about it—we simply make up our minds that we are so much outof pocket and take care not to trust that party again. It is not good business policy, you see, for a house like this to dun people. It is better to lose a pretty penny in bad debts than to get a reputa- tion for dunning; there is nothing that gives worse offense, and the worst beat may have an acquaintance with a desirable set, Bills due from young men with fathers are often col- lectable by sending them to the paternal ad- dresses. ‘The fellows who beat us are the very ones who assume the most magnificent airs in bestowing their custom,” THEY HAVE TO TRUST, “But you must be somewhat wary about giv- ing credit.” “It is impossible to help giving it. What else can we do? Of course, we don't trust peo- ple we don't know, but any person known to us ut all, or whose friends are known to us, we can’t refuse, A man who has been in here » few times comes up to the desk and say: want to give a little dinner tonight for six; here is my card and address; you won't mind charging it and sending the bill around after- ward, Leuppose?’ In such a case the chances nuch in favor of its being all right, and we can’t afford to take the risk of saying no. So he gets the dinner without any trouble— maybe it costs $75 or #100—and we gamble on the result. Of accounts hung up we lose about 10 per cent; the rest are paid sooner or later. It is very apt to be later, for people think nothing of making us wait two or three years for our money. It is quite a usual thing for a customer scarcely known by sight to order an elaborate dinuer, and, when it has been eaten, say: ‘Just charge that to me.’ When that is done we nay ask for the address and charge it, as requeste We can't help ourselves; the dinner has been eaten, and we couldn't get our money's worth by wiping up the floor with the man, as is customary im the west, I under- stand. “{ REMEMBER HEARING A STORY not long ago—maybe it's a chestnut—about a fellow who walked into a Chicago restaurant, ate a costly meal, with wines, and when he was through went up to the cashier’s desk, laid down his check, picked up a toothpick’ and cooly informed the functionary in charge that he hadn’ta red cent. The cashier pulled out a huge revolver, and, pointing it at the customer, told him that he would give him a dose of that if he didn’t hand over the price that instant, ‘‘W-w-what's that thing you've got there?’ asked the beat, exhibiting great alarm. “It’s a pistol—See?’ said the cashier, still aiming the weapon. “aq yh, is that all! replied the customer, ina tone of intense relief. ‘Why, how you fright- ened me. I thought it was a stomach pump.” “I have known occasions myself when I should have taken pleasure in ministering to a dead-beat customer with an actual stomach ump, but, alas! it is against the rules of the jouse, Youhave no notion how many dis- agreeable things we hotel people have to put up with—how many snubs from snobbish guests and other exasperating annoyances we must endure without showing resentment and even witha smile. In this business one cannot afford to make enemies.” \@QCIETY BEATS. “I should suppose,” said Tae Star writer, “that these young men of fashion who beat the florists, tailors and hotel wey ey would become known after a while as habitual swindlers and be socially ostracised,” “Not a bit of it. Society doesn’t care whether @ young man pays his bills or not, so long as he is well-dressed and agreeable. I went to the theater one night last week with a friend of mine, who isa frshionable tailor, and among the young men in the boxes and orchestra stalls,who looked so sick and talked so merrily with the pretty women between the acts, he pointed out a dozen who owed him considera- ble sums of money which he never expects to et, having in fact put them down long ago as bad debts. As he rather quaintly expressed it, these youths are act living on ad- vances made by the tradesmen; they wear the tailor's clothes, eat the restau- rant keeper’s meals, give the pretty women the florist’s flowers, and never pay a cent for anything if they can help it. yy have no means, 80 there is no-use Prsidaen to squeeze them by legal process.’ Of they are not honest; but that does not seem to affect their social standing a .

Most of them were reduced to syrap by boil- ing down and had to be diluted with water be- fore they were drinkable. The most extra- | ordinary ingredients were introduced, such as salt resin, tar, turpentine, myrrh and many other curious things, all of which were supposed to be necessary to give the wine a proper flavor. When a rich man of Rome gave ; 4 dinner party the first course was oysters, olives and lettuce. Then came the “first cup” of wine and honey mixed. With the meat fol- lowed the ordinary wines, the richer ones | being reserved for dessert. The arrangement of the dinner, the succession of the cour and the manner in which the toasts were drunk have come down to the present day almost unaltered. The very toasts were drunk then ide é much as we drink them now. Some- times the wine was drunk hot; pounded oyster shells and marble dust were frequently used to give it an artificial flavor.” MODERN HARD DRINKERS, “Who are the hardest drinkers of modern times; “Tbe Russians, undoubtedly. the Germans. It,was in Germany that the celebrated ‘Bleachers’ club’ was organized, The club met every evening, and before each member was placed a large vessel filled to the brim with red wine. Of this he drank one- haif, replenishing the vessel with white wine, again drinking one-half, again replenishing with white winc,and so on until the liquid in the glass was without a vestige of color. ‘This oper- ation was called ‘bleaching’ and so fashionable uid it become that ‘Bleachers’ clubs’ sprang up allover the fatherlaud.
