HER CARRIAGE LUXURY
X Doesnt IiUMt Lone lint It Filla Her
With Exqnlaltc Joy
Of course said tho New York
young woman wh6 earns her own liv
ing though a natural boru lady I
cant afford to rldo in carriages and
ordinarily I get around in tho street
cars but there Is a moment or two In
my life when I rise superior to com
mon things and take to wings
I have some friends who are able
to live at the Waldorf and I go there
to see them once or twice n month But
do I go in the cars Never I conio
down from home in the cars but at
Thirty third street and Broadway I get
out and interview a cabby at the stand
there I always pick out the nicest
looking turnout and I offer the driver
CO cents to drive me to the Waldorf
He looks at me as if I were daffy but
I tell him I know what I am about
and if he wants to earn 50 cents in
about two minutes he has the oppor
tunity
He smiles and tells me to get in
and I order him to drive up to tho
Thirty -third street entrance with a
whirl and a dash There are always
two or three flunkies there and it does
make me feel too good for anything
just to swing into the curb and have
the crowd of them simply fall over
themselves to wait on me and bow
me In
It Is all over in a very few seconds
but such exquisite pleasure as I get
out of it couldnt in the nature of
mortal things be of long continuance
The human system couldnt stand it

How Wine Judges Keep Sober
If you have ever gone into a wine
merchants ollice and sampled different
vintages says the Philadelphia Ledger
you will have observed that the dealer
never swallows the wine he puts into
his mouth but holds It there for a time
while he lightly breathes through his
nose Ilis palate tells him whether the
wine is rough or smooth but his sense
of smell detects its aroma and is large
ly depended on to determine its quality
Of course it is tho brain to which the
smell is communicated that is really
instrumental In fixing values and as
the effect on the brain is only mo
mentary a great deal of wine may be
sampled in this way without ill ef
fects but when the wine is permitted
to pass into the stomach the fumes
which arise from it continue to assail
the brain as long as the liquor remains
there in its orignal state and if taken
In large quantities results in muddling
the brain
The Lesion of Honor
The red ribbon which superseded the
titular distinction of pre Napoleonic

Napoleon after Austerlitz founded

been admitted to the order have been
superintendents of these establish

not as an actress but as president of
one of these institutions An excep

Power of Genis on Bad Eyes
The ruby was considered good for
derangement of the liver as well as
for bad eyes The sapphire and emer

are blinded by looking at the latter
