Which Would You lie?
(Continued from rage Fourteen.)
a half Is all my food averages."
"And howT
"There"! a little lunch around the cor
ner," she explained. "Meat und potatoes
aro 15 cents, and that's all anybody want
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 does that breakfast con
sist of?"
"Coffee and toast. Sometimes we give
ourselves a treat and have pfrgs. When we
do that we save by bulling the eggs In the
coffee po that the gas bill won't rise."
This is close economy, but many a girl
on that Income does get her own break
fust, l'ltnty of her are fed on $3.50. Over
against that place the man's figures
$5.25. ller $ti for room and board stands
opposite his $7.
In case the bachelors live at a 'distance
from their work there will be 00 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. She washes out her own handker
chiefs, collars, dosens of small articles and
Sometimes large ones.
"It is easy as washing your face." she
ays.
Not to him. It Is one of those Infinite
feminine mysteries. lie can't wear fewer
than four collurs a week, and when the
laundry bill comes In he finds It foots up
75 cents. The girl's Is 35 cents.
There are a hundred little things that
she can do for herself where he stands
helpless. She nhampoos and manicures
herself, while he pays 15 or 20 cents every
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 hi 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 ft) or
75 cents a day. The girl on $13 will deny
herself lee 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
bills 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
make 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 huve 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
young woman, while he Is annoyed all the
time by the Inability to spend as he sees
other men around him spend.
As their salaries Increase the same rule
holds good. At $25 he owns a good dress
suit, which brings upon him still more em
barrassment in the wish to use it more. The
girl at $25 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 fh.wers and theater
ticket needs, and he Is with men who spend
more.
At $50 she is not obliged to live In a better
house. His dress has ceased to cost more,
fur once with a complete outfit he can do
without variety, but he has attempted the
social stunt In a small way by this time.
He Is joining a club expenses 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 bachelor-men
look happier than the bachelor-malda? Isn't
It the girl who Is fretful and restless and
fault finding?. Isn't It the man who spends
joyfully, as If the spending and the living
bronght 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 I'age Twelve.)
Great Uritaln, and they manufacture e'ec
trloal machinery from American patterns
with British labor.
The same Is done by our Diamond Match
company, which controls the match busi
ness of Great Uritaln, but Is known there
under the old firm name of Hryant & May,
and also by the American Tobacco trust,
hlch is working largely under the name
of Ogden, the chief British tobacconist of
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 schools
in Berlin and other cltieo. There Is
a school for masons, which 1 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, lie
has books and shop work, the whole going
on under the Instruction of the teacher.
Germany has similar Sunday schools for
tinners, tailors, saddlers and printers. It
has schools for cabinet maker?, barbers,
bookbinders and blacksmiths. There are
Sunday schools for horse shoers und even
for chimney sweeps.
The most important schools, however,
are thone which deal with work in the
great manufactories. These will improve
the foreign trade of Germany, and will
eventually give it tho uiott skilled work
men In the world.
This kind of education is going on all oxer
Europe. The Austrian have a large nuia
ber of such schools, and they are lucre islng
them yearly. They are under the ministry
of education, and among them are many
state industrial schools. The country i as
now six great branches of this sort of edu
cational Institutions, covering every In
dustry and the work of women us well na
that of men. There are schools for artistic
embroiderers, schools tor lacemakers and
schools for housekeepers. Thtre aro schools
for foreman covering every branch of me
chanics, so that a carpenter, a mason or an
engineer may learn how to take charge of a
shop and manage It. There are now some
thing like 3,000 men and boys attending
such schools, and more thun 11,0j0 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 many special Industries.
There is a state school for stone cutting at
Iaas, in Tyrol, devoted to the development
of tlie marble industry there. The course
covers five years, and gives education in
all kinds of stone carving atid stone cut
ting. The school receives a subsidy, and
its graduates are sure of good positions at
what Austria considers high w.ige?.
In the Teplits pottery dislnc; 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 thope 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. Thoae of
Antwerp teach dressmaking, flower making

and lace woik. In Biussela there are
school for milliners and corset makers,
and In Mons a school for embroiders.
There are schools also for the making of
lingerie, where the girls study four years,
beginning with fancy stitches and scollops
and graduating on night gowns and shirt
wai.'ts.
Belgium has housekeeping Schools, which
train fta girls into intelligent and econom
ical housekeepers. They are admitted at
12 years of age and study three years,
lutying a tuition fee of $.".. Ti per quarter.
In these schools the pupils do the market
ing, prepare the meals, k'ep Hip accounts
and wash the dishes and kitchen utensils.
They have a new menu every day, and on
one afternoon of each week a chance to
Ram how to wash and Iron.
Such schools are giving hoih Belgium and
France an excellent domestic service. Thev
are to b found also In Germany and other
countries of Kurope.

Jlust Get That
The surgeons stand about the couch
where lies the sick man.
"There Is considerable change In him."
says the roost eminent of the surgeons. "We
must operate on him immediately."
"But why need we operate?" asks the
youngest of the surgeons a mere tyro, who
cherishes the delusion that nature gets
along pretty well on her own hook, and
thinks ho can be happy If he only gets to
write a few prescriptions every day. The
other surgeons turn upon him with ream.
"Why?" they echo. "Why? Haven't you
learned yet that as long as there Is nny
change In a man we must go after it?"
Crushed, he hastens to obtain a chloro
form rone, with the Men of demonstrating
the fact that lie Is wilting, even if slow of
comprehension. Judge.
