TTTHENEVER most of us think of
f/I/ practical philanthropy, we push a '
- menial button labeled "Pastime
peculiar to the odiously rich." Therein
lies a fallacy thai robs us of much of the
joy of living; expressed in this instance, in
the joy of giving. It is true that ihe very .-,
rich can afford to give largely. It is as
true that we can give not largely, per
haps, but we can give in accordance with
our incomes.
* The trouble with the people who con
stitute the class to which most of us be-
long neither disgracefully rich nor disconcertingly poor, is , that :we give in the
abstract. At Christmas time, and again* at Thanksgiving we heatfen, to the ap
peal of the Salvation Army. At various limes during the year We respond to
the need of the heathen. A famine in India, a flood in China, or a lesser catas
trophe nearer at hand, wrings a dollar, or ten, from : usS^ySy;S7 ; y r SyS. ; t-
Strange folk that we are. we go no further. We can read "A Christmas
Carol" and be divinely touched by the story of Scrooge" softening, yd we
fail to grasp, the lesson that Dickens tried to teqeh. The fact thai "Tiny Tim"
is hut a types, and that, if sins of omission are counted, We f to : -he reckoned
as but other.Scrooges, escapes our dhs^afanyy^yyySy;Xy^S;y-'-A-y.,:
*. ■ The point of all this? I can answer best, perhaps, by telling of * such
things as / have observed.;* I fcnoiy of a dimly salaried minister who devotes
10 per cent of his income to A helping nqedy families he himself searches out. I
know, of '* an old couple who would have long since been separated, the one in
the pbbrhbuse, the, other in a home for ihe aged indigent, were it not for the
charity of a girl who, from the money she herself earns, pays their rent. {
I know of a crippled child who has a fairy godmother, whom you would
describe as just a colorless little stenographer lady. I \now of ;an Sold' blind
woman who prays daily — hgurly, I might : almost sayfor a "vera bonna lass"
who comes to her; chats with her, and occasionally brings her the luxury she
craves, tea, in quarter pound packages. ' ->V. .-,**•* »
It may be that you do not * know of such, cases. Then you have never
looked. It may be that you think it would be nice of you, s but dull. You are
Wrong. Scrooge gave not because he believed it his duty, but because of a
strange, sweet warmth that thawed his heart,* and! because of /a "strange; new y
pleasure with which he.thrilled in ihe act of giving. f ■ ' > ■
Far fetched it may sound to you. But try it. ' '. y' * j
"Paradise," the beautiful San Jose
home of the Misses Morrison, was the
scene of a brilliant gathering last Sat
urday, when a luncheon was Riven In
honor of the officials of the Panama-""
Pacific International exposition 7 and
their wives.
The house was made fragrant with
a wealth of roses 'which % filled every
room with their beauty. The. dining
room was especially attractive. Kil
larney and American Beauty roses
mingling in an effective color scheme.
A large rustic basket, filled to over
flowing * with _ Maryland> and Cecil
Breuner roses, was placed in the center
of the board, and from it a column of :
flowers and fernery rose to the ceiling.
Gold baskets filled with roses were set
at intervals along the table, and the

with pink 'shaded crystal candelabra
which shed a soft light over the scene..'

advice, but that's foolishness- Instead
of Independence. She may wear*a'hat
two seasons behind the fashion, ■ but
after :dozens of her sex have stuck tip
their noses her she is feeling cheap
instead ;of independent. She may say,
and really feel that she 'doesn't care
for tho attentions of any young, man,
but at the same time the thought of
being? an ( old:maid. brings f shivers. ' \
X Miss 7 Irene Tabor was7'.i independent.*
At least she thought.she was, and-that
;is the same thing. - '.' ,
1 SI JO had* been known to make -a

I she independent- 1 -or only ; as mad as a
j wet hen? • •',.".' ' y,
*f; r When her 7 • hand -7* and heart were

-Miss "Irene had money Jof-her own.
A girl acquaintance of hers made I $300
by speculating in ' Wall street. , Humph!
She would show that girl that $300 was
simply'baby speculation. She lost $800
! so* quick that/: her head 7 whirled, and
I for -five.-, minutes she didn't know
I whether she was independent or not.
j*7 Miss Irene had an aunt living 150
miles away, and she took a notion :to
I visit 'her. TTwHer-j parent? objected to her

them: through a letter to: the mother. 7
j '''■ Miss Irene was smiled 7at:by 7an old
: widower with crape ii on his ' hat. She
j was winked at by a drummer for a glue
house. ■ She was accosted?by a vaude
ville actor, who said she would make a
great hit on the stage/ She lost a 7 $2
bill, had > a toothache, 7 got j stung fby 7 a
wasp, and a -jealous, woman passenger
asked her if she didn't work In a candy

The independent girl had* decided on
j, a stay of two 'rweeks.7* Mr. Dart ;in ? his
! firsts letter asked her :please; to; cut off
j three or four days, as he was very, very

I While being prolonged things happened.
j .,, She ell j out of a cherry 1 tree 7 with a

[ She tumbled into the creek. Three sons

And start she did. S To go at the hour
she did she had to; take a train on an
