THE ELASTIC INCOME. HAT is your income? Oh, it all dependa. It de-| pends not so much npon the actual normal state of your business or bank account as upon the cir- cumstances under which you make your off-hand, New York Monday, 8 " By Rolf PielKe August 1 4, Copmnight, 1011, by The Pres Publlating Oo, (The New York World), No. 18—Sardon’e “FROU FROU.” ILBERTH BRIGARD was « fluff-bratned girl whose gayety and irresponsible ways had won for her the nickname of Frou Frou. ! She was the daughter of a jolly old reprobate who encouraged ter J flightiness. Her elder sister, Louise, as wise es Frou Frou was silly, acted as balance-wheel for the Brigard family. To one aide of the Brigard estate lived the Count Valreas, « butterfly , was in love with Frou Frou. But approximate estimate. In eome respects the in- come resembles happiness—it is what imagination makes it. It grows or diminishes, according to the momentary etate of mind. It may be truly likened to Saint Paul's definition of faith—“the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not scen.” An English contemporary has taken the trouble to illustrate in| & specific and practical way how this elasticity of ineome works, as applied to the affairs of the average well-intentioned but impression- istic man of the world Here is a person whose credit is perfectly good, and with whom yea would not hesitate to transact business on a basis of mutual confi- deneo. Yet, according to his own intimations, his income is all the v fram $50,000 per annum down to nothing. Between these two ex-| tremes of poverty and affluence it fluctuates most surprisingly, ac- cording to the company our mercurial friend happens to be in, It is when he is talking with a high financier about investment | or promotion that his unseen capital reaches its top notch. The | time it dwindles down to zero is, of course, when the income tax is, payable. For the purpose of impressing an impoverished relative | ar social rival, the respectable figure of $25,000 suffices. If the friends he met abroad or coming over on the steamer chance to accept | his effusive invitation to look him up at his suburban cottage, he is| ther compelled for the sake of consistency with snrroundings to | keep within a modest $10,000 income, and says in a careless way, “It’s just a little bungalow, you know—had it built as an experiment, on a design of my own.” Of course when the rich old uncle or plutocratie father-in-law | pays a visit, there is nothing to be gained by giving him the im- pression that you have money to burn, so the fact is not concealed | that there is difficulty in keeping the pot a-boiling on a meagre $2,500 &@ year. As for the friend in need, or rather the needy friend, who touches for a loan—why, the only thing to do is to make a clean breast of it and anewer, “Sorry, my dear fellow, but I’m in a hole myeelf. What can I do on a beggarly $750 per?” Now, putting the matter at its best, this sort of rainbow gold is an uneatisfactory medium for the settlement, of liabilities, or as a reserve to fall back upon in times of panic. At the same time it is an asset of confidence and cheer, and undoubtedly it plays a more important role than most people are aware of in modern finance, ee “BLACK HAND.” OME Italian contemporaries have com- i plained, perhaps not entirely without reason, that — every sort of outrage and misdemeanor that the police can’t find out about is summarily charged to the “Black Hand.” But here is a Chicago case of our LEWIS Lo CLARKE Copyriaht, 1911, by The Prem Pubilehing Co, (The New York World). HOW TO START A FORTUNE at Ooprright, 1911. by The Press Publishing Co, (The New York World), “Every Man’s Duty as a Citizen Is to Save,” Says LEWIS L. CLARKE, President of the American Exchange National Bank—“ Insurance Is a Prime Factor in the Saving Process,” He Thinks. “(A man’s environment ie primarily responsible for his ability to amass wealth, ‘* He whois fortunate enough to properly oare for those nearest to him has more than fortune itself. ‘ The man who lives only to make cold cash lets cash make him cold, hard and cynical, “The man of big means who reaches down to his army of employees and gives him the &rip that he needs is founding fortunes of strength not only for himself but humanity. “The young man of to-day who suceeeds is not always watching the clock, but willing to help the next fellow at his desk.’” “LN OTHER WORDS, THE BIG MEN | unfortunate, and I do not know of any; happy.

Don't forget. where the culprit, nabbed in the act of demand- ing money from an aged lady of wealth who had been threatened in an anonymous letter, proves to be an American negro. The real or imaginary “Mano Nera” had nothing at all to do with the matter, apparently. And yet, if the instrument of the crime was a blackmailing let- ter, written by a negro, what ¢ can you call it than a Black Hand outrage? The associations of the term are unfortunate, that’s all. Our fellow citizens of forcign extraction should never have taught us that word, annem THE CHAUFFEUR’S BRIDE.

To marry rich, and mise a scandal—that game is no more worth the candle. What does mere social prestige go for, compared with the love of an honest chauffeur? JOU ask me what suggestion I might have for starting a fortune,” said Mr. Clarke, Exchange National Bank, “and 1 would answer that it Is an ex- tremely diMfeult matter tn view of the the accumulation epirit of money gat- ting.” Mr. Clarke 4# perhaps one of the ness.
