N o e o S -y October 18, 1903, Which Would You Be? (Continued from Page Fourteen.) a half is all my food averages.” “And how?”" ‘““There’'s a little lunch around the cor- ner,” she explained. ‘‘Meat and potatoes are 15 cents, and that's all anybody wants for dinner. For lunch I take a sandwich or a cereal, sometimes tea or coffee, and that is only 10 or 15 cents. We girls get our own breakfast.” “And what sist of 7" “Coffee and toast. Sometimes we give oursclves a treat and have eggs. When we do that we save by boiling the eggs in the coffee so that the gas bill won't rise.” This is close economy, but many a girl on that income does get her own break- does that breakfast con- fast. Plenty of her are fed on $3.50. Over against that place the man's figures— $5 Her $6 for room and board stands opposite his $7. In case the bachelors live at a-distance from their work there will be 60 cents a week invested in carfare. Distances be- ing equal the man will be more likely to save this amount, or part of it, than the woman, for walking is easier for him in bad weather. In laundry, however, she has the ad- vantage. SBhe washes out her own handker- chiefs, collars, dozens of small articles and sometimes large ones. "It is easy as washing your face,” she says. Not to him. It is one of those Infinite feminine mysteries. He can’'t wear fewer than four collars a week, and when the laundry bill comes in he finds it foots up 7 cents. The girl's is 35 cents. There are a hundred little things that she can do for herself where he stands helpless, She shampoos and manicures herself, while he pays 15 or 20 cents evc ry few weeks to have his hair cut. She mends and cleans and presses her own clothes; he pays sometimes $1.50 in a month to have his kept in order. On the little self indulgences she will save money where he won't. He probably smokes; if not a constant smoker one package of 35-cent tobacco will keep his pipe busy for a week. He wants his own drinks and he wants to buy the other fel- low’'s occasionally; he may get through on two “beers” a day, or he may pay for several cocktails, which makes the price of drowning sorrow leap from 10 to 6) or 75 cents a day. The girl on $15 will deny herself ice cream sodas and the other things she likes; if she has a practical soul she will count on somebody else paying for them. On the occasional holiday trips or to the theater his expenses are double and hers are none at all. Allowing each 75 cents a week for the countless small sundries, such as postage stamps and telephones, the man's weekly expenses foot up to $12 and the girl's to $8, in round numbers. On what is left they must dress and pay the occasional large bi that arise—dentist's bills, Christmas gifts, journeys, The girl has $4 more than he to dress on and, if she is a genius with the needle, she can look well on less than he. She can malke her shirtwaists and collars and hats. Perhaps the goods for a pretty silk waist or a fluffy gown comes among her Christ- mas presents and she puts in several even- ings making herself ready for a splurge. Nobody ever gives him a dress suit. He must refuse all invitations where full dress is de rigeur, if he means to save closely, He must restrict himself to dinner coat functions, where he can wear the dinner coat, provided he has it, with the trousers of his ordinary black suit. Allow them each $100 a year for dress and she will have a far greater variety. If she would only remove her heart from the feather boa that it is set upon, she could have all the square meals she needs. If she does this she is far better off on her $15 than is he. She dresses better, she lives in a better room, she can accept many pleasant Invitations without being op- pressed by obligation; sometimes she has a bank book. She is a very contented yvoung woman, while he is annoyed all the time by the inability to spend as he sees other men around him spend. As thelr salaries increase the same rule holds good. At $25 he owns a good dress guit, which brings upon him still more em- barrassment in the wish to use it more. The girl at 325 is boarding in a better house, where more dress is required, but she still uses her own needle, and as she is alone and boarding, nobody expects her to play hostess except for an occasional matinee or informal tea He is confronted with cab and candy and cut flowers and theater ticket needs, and he is with men who spend more At $50 she is not obliged to lve in a better house. His dress has ceased to cost more, for oice with a complete outfit he ecan do without variety, but he has attempted the social stunt in a small way by this time. He is joining a club- €Xpenses mount fabu- lously and the income is small. “Put,” says a student of human nature, “if you cross the great gulf to those who have their thousands to dispose of in the course of each year, don't the bac helor-men look happier than the bachelor maids? Isu't it the girl who is fretful and restless and fault finding?. Isn't it the man who spends THE TLLUSTRATED BEE. Joyfully, as if the spending and the living brought a pleasure? Isn't it true that woman, a cheerful heroine in poverty, flinches miserably when it comes to bearing up under prosperity?” Carpenter’s Letter (Continued from Page Twelve.) Great Britain, and they manufacture e'ec- trical machinery from American patterns with British labor. The same is done by our Diamond Match company, which controls the match bu ness of Great Britain, but is known there under the old firm name of Bryant & May, and also by the American Tobacco trust, which is working largely under the name of Ogden, the chief British tobacconist ef the past. One of the queer features of this educa- tion is the school held on Sunday to give mechanics practical instruction in their trades. There are a score of such schoo's in Berlin and other cities. There is a school for masons, which is held every Sunday from 9 a. m. to 1 p. m. The students, many of them mechanics who work during the week, are taught all about construction work, making arches and all sorts of stone work. The course is in terms of half years, and it is so made that a man may spend five terms, covering 100 Sun- days, in learning all about his trade. le has books and shop work, the whole going on under the instruction of the teachers. Germany has similar Sunday schools for tinners, tailors, saddlers and printers. It has schools for cabinet makers, barbers, bookbinders and blacksmiths, There are Sunday schools for horse shoers and even for chimney sweeps, The most important are those which deal great manufactories. These will improve the foreign trade of Germany, and will eventually give it the moet skilled work- men in the world, This kind of education is going on all over Europe. The Austrians have a large nui ber of such schools, and they are increising them yearly. They are under the minisiry of education, and among them are many state industrial schools, The country ras now six great branches of this sort of edu- cational institutions, covering every in- dustry and the work of women as well as that of men. There are schools for artistic embroiderers, schools for lacemakers and schools for housekeepers. There are schools for foreman covering every branch of me- chanies, so that a carpenter, a mason or an engineer may learn how to take charge of a ghop and manage it. There are now s>me- thing like 3,000 men and boys attending such schools, and more than 11,00 in an- other branch of the industrial schools. There is a vast number in the trade schools, so that the people are being every- where educated to better work. The Austrian state schools are especially fine, covering mary special industrics. There is a state school for stone cutting at Laas, in Tyrol, devoted to the development of the marble industry there. The course covers five years, and gives education in all kinds of stone carving and stone cut- ting. The scheol receives a subsidy, and its graduates are sure of good positions at what Austria considers high wages. In the Teplitz poltery districi there is a state school which teaches that business, and there are other state schools for the same industry elsewhere. Austria has state schools for glassmaking, for locksmiths, and also for teaching, goldsmithing and the grinding of precious stones. In con- nection with many of the schools are Sun- day schools like those of Germany, and also trade courses for females. Belgium and France both have girls' trade schools. There are such schools in nearly every Belgian city. Those of Antwerp teach dressmaking, flower making Justsay B324.6 to the Hello Girl schools, however, with work in the : i t % and lace work. In Biussels there are school for milliners and corset makers, and in Mons a school for embroiders There are echools also for the making of lingerie, where the girls study four vears beginning with fancy stitches and scollops and graduating on night gowns and shirt walats, Belgium has housekeeping schools, train its girls into intelligent ical housekeepers They are 12 yvears of age and study three paying a tuition fee of $.25 per quarter In these schools the pupils do the market ing, prepare the meals, keep the accounts and wash the dishes and kitchen utensils They have a new menu every day one afternoon of each week a karn how to wash and iron Such schools are giving both B France an excellent domestic are to be found also in Germany countries of Kuraope FRANK G which and econom admitted at yvears, and on chance to Iginvm and service, They and other CARPENTER.

The other surgeons turn upon him with gcorn “Why?"' they echo. “Why?
