It w Jolt tbs time of the you wlren
people yawo politely—that ia If there la
moi a thing aa yawning politely—aud
wonder what they will do next. Tbe
aaaeou haan't quit* started; there ia bo
oar lately about what i* aud wbal la
not to be the special vogue, uod ao the
faanlonahle matron, for tbe maid
count* for vary little, aoolally, in Hew
York, stares at tba tip of her aatin
■Upper, yawn* again and again, and
wishes that something would bippsn.
I happened to drop Into tbe Woman's
Exchange tho other day and I saw a
little sign which strode me aa unique,
and tbe woman who wrote it ought, if
there is auy Justice to tb* world, to do
a flourishing busluess. It mad this

1 will read, play on tbe piano, sing or
entertain Invalids, or those people who
feel a hut* blue and would like to be
sheered up at a reasonable price per
boar." Now, that is what I onll clever.
And the woman who can deltberatsly
make a business of cheering up people,
and especially when she lie* to etre bar
Uviag by this 11gbt-Ueartedueae, must
be mighty brave—qaite aa brave at a
soldier facing the enemy. Suppose die
happens to bn wondering where she
will get the mosey to pay her rent,
urban she Is called uo to oheer np Mrs
Crank, who wants to be sung to and
mad to, and amoaad with stories that
are not Just straight aad not Just
crooked, but a little amusiag. And
the sheerer up has to look pleasant and
bo pleasant and make Mrs. Creak frel
pleasant, or the conviction will be
forced upon her that aha ba*u<t earned
tier money properly. It take* aU sort
of people to make up s world, and Mrs.

Among the uota there is, Brat of all.
Modems Millionaire, who ke rtoh but

■he ie rattier overdone, she gauges
everything from the standpoint of bee
bank book, nod the only reason she
respects the kingdom of haavcu la be
caase it is to be paved with gold. A
beautiful woman Isas uolhlog tol*r

and a mao may be as brave as Bayard,
Gordon and Robert B. Lee put to

him unless each act of bravery ta re
cognised by a million of shekels. When
abe oodles to die, 1 wonder whet she
will think? It la a suhfect that doesn't
trouble her now beeanae ebe teela that
money will gat her a special train of
carriages to follow her, e marvelous
casket to botd ber, end yards of silk to
enshroud ber. She forgets that those
dreadful worms have no respect for
persons, nor for flee woods, nor rtoh
gowns Aud sbe forgets, too, that sbe
won’t be asked "How much are you

that I wouldn't change places with

and her diamonds wan of so great
worth that they startled tbs whole
world.
One of tbs little listers of tlie rich
for whom Madame Millionaire has a
sort of liking Is little Mrs. Good-Form.
She never makes e mistake— socially.
She knows the latest handshake, the
