T is the lives of the great men around us, according to the poet, which should give as pointers on how to make our own lives count, a0 that perchance upon departure we may “leave behind us footprints on the sands of time.” The o reers of our contemporaries, per- haps, loom often too large for us to study to advantage at close range, unless we have aome help in their interpretation, preferably from the great men themselves. For this reason unusual interest attaches to Mr. Otto Kahn’a con- ception of life’s responsibilities as expressed in an appreciation of his late friend and business associate, Edward H. Harriman, and o comprehensive estimate of Mr. J. Pierpont Morgan as viewed in per- spective by Edison. In Mr. Edison’s view, life is practically a business deal, and all the men and women merely machines that contribute to working out the ends of civilization and the general ideal. This is what he calls the impersonal attitude. What he admires in Mr. Morgan and other great business heads of America is this impersonal attitude of their formal relations with the world. That is to say, in their handling of affairs there is a breadth and bigness that petty spites or personal friendships cannot influcnce. “The power of Morgan,” he thinks, “is due to his being as de- teched as Fate.” Mr. Kahn’s idea seems to differ radically from this, although in actual practice the results achieved by the two men of finance and art patronage are not dissimilar. Every man who by eminent success in commerce or finance raises himself beyond his peers, Mr. Kahn takes it, is in the nature of things more or less of an “irritant.” It behooves him, therefore, to make his privileged position as little jarring as possible upon others who have not made the lucky strike. “He should beware of that in- sidious tendency of wealth to chill and isolate.” ' One of the things he can do in the pursuit of this conciliatory policy, continues the patron who bought the $500,000 Frans Hals end lent it to the Metropolitan Museum for public exhibition, is to go in for the promotion of culture and art. “The opportunity is boundless, and the need for men who will put some of their wealth, of their time and ability in the service of this cause is very great. Maccenases are needed for the dramatic stage, the musical stage, the concert stage” (here is a nice distine- tion!) “for conservatories and art academies, for the encouragement and support of American painters, in fact for all those things which in Europe have been done and are being done by princes, govern- ments and communities.” Septem Cos Cob Nature Notes think the cost af living many folks a: thing for ther the industrious JOING to the depot Friday morning our commuters were surprised to hear some saying to others, Why!

The man who would acccumulate a for- tune had better mix his own brain with his money rather than trust it to others. Money means more to an individual in late years than it does in youth. Women are more persistent savers than men. The risks of the get-rich-quick method should only be taken absolutely on so-called surplus moneys.

When I scrambled over the ravine, bruteeds muddy and dripping, there, not six feet away, I beheld an apparition whied seemed to be clad tn ‘aincoat and carried two umbrellas. tt seemed to be an apparition at first, but {t was not—it was the girl in blue! . ‘Well, you poor man!" she exclaimed, sympathetically; “you must have he@ @ fine time. Here, take this,” and with that she opened her spare umbrolla and handed {t to mi “thts te the hardest rain we've had for years," said she. “The streets Gowns town are flooded. Where are you stopning?” I told her at the W— Hotel. “Well, you can't get down there this evening. The car tracks are under ‘and no care are running. You will have to stay at our house over night: Papa will give you some dry clothes." we were not long in reaching her home In answer to our knock the door w. Ickly opened and there I stooc face te face with—could I believe my evea? Yea, with my old friend, Mr. Jordan, from Texas! And this young lady, who was taking off her dripping raincoat—why, to be sure, this was little Mildred, whom I used to pet when she was scarcely five years old, though that was over twelve years ago, which accounted for my not Years before I had spent several months with Mr. Jor At that time he had charge of « rural school and I was The next morning nothing teas would satisfy my generous host than for me to transfer myself, bag and baggage, from the hotel to his house.

It was at the dinner tablo that the storm broke without the slightest warning. Mr. Jordan, addressing Mildred, remarked: ete just learned something more about Salvador—something that cam be proved.” Mildred retorted by admonishing her papa that he must not belleve all Be heard. Mr. Jordan rejoined with @ rebuke, in which Mildred was Itkened to the kite in the that would fly without « string, and followed that with a few pointed statements of fact directed against the object of her attachment. The exchange of repartee wan quickly terminated by Mildred flying from the table to indulge the violence of her feelings in « burst of tears, but not before she Re@ bog inetd assured her fond parent that he would never choose her husband for he Mr. Jordan had gone back to the office, his wife had constderately retired for a siesta, the servant was off for the afternoon, so Mildred and I were left strietly to ourselves. “I want you to tell me somethin: know everything, from the very man he {s—all about him, In fact.” A girl does not need much encouragement to tell about the man she lovesy and I quickly had Mildred’s version of the whole affair. Salvador was as fine and manly a fellow and as true a lover as might be found anywhere in Mexico, He was employed agent of @ local express company: he was now away ae Colma on business, but would return in a few days. Coming at last to the specific objection, the unfavorable reports ciroulated about Salvador himself, Mildred indignantly refused to give them the slightest | credence without better evidence than had yet been offered, assuring me that her | character, too, had been slandered by others in the effort to prejudice Salvador against her, and that he had loyally defended her against her accusers, I summed up the situation as follows: Concerning Salvador h'mself, although | 1 now knew almost as much as Mildred did, I felt that I knew too lttle to past | gudgment. I commended her for her loy spirit in defending his character and pleased, but cautioned her nevertheles: inst the folly of marrying any man upon too short an acquaintance, and without knowing something of his imme- diate ancestry. With my departure from chat romantic spot my tale is nearly done. After my return to the Statew I could not resist writing @ Uttle note to Mildred, im which I sald: “I have no wish to direct either argument or persuasion, censure or ridicule against your present infatuation, but if at any time you decide that It might be prudent, after all, not to unite yourself with a Mexican I want you to remember that there is an American heart in which you are securely enshrined, and that I dy to declare myself yours devotedly, entirely, unchangeably and for ever whenever you can tell me that you love me and not Salvador," But never a word since then have I had from Mildred; and I do not know ¢o= Gay whatever came of the love between Salvador and the Girl tn Blue.

This 1s probably due to the strong vogue of the slashed skirt. The black and white combinations continue to be popular and the pure white shoes are still great favorites, For evening wear the metal cloths are prominent. The gold, silver and saves: colored cloths are all equally popu- lar, while there is a strong preference for those shot with color or with black, as this somewhat subdues the effect. French women are now wearing pale fiesh-colored stockings with the black patent leather sandal slippers having four or fiv: sandal straps that are now so fashionable for dressy wear.
