Costly Living in Gotham.
Every day in New York there i*
some fresh aggravation to matrimony
cropping up in places affected by bach'
elors. It costa ten cents more to b«
rubbed with alcohol than it did six
weeks ago. Manicuring is one doliai
instead of 75 cents. For years ths
standard charge of the Turkish bath,
chiropodist and barber shop has been
50 cents. It is now 75 cents all over
the city. Cocktails in bath cafes were
formerly two for a quarter. Tney are
now 15 cents straight. Same way
with cigars. Drug stores are charging
men more for toilet articles. The
tailor who used to press a suit for 50
cents now asks 75 cents, and 35 cents
instead of a quarter for pressing
trousers. Charges for laundry work
have gone up 20 per cent. In small
expenditures alone it costs the man
who has to look out for himself six
dollars a week more to live now than
it did six months ago.—Pittsburg Dis
patch.
The Freezerator.
Aunt Jane is an old Virginia prod
uct of half a century ago, with all
the manners and mannerisms of the
aristocracy of that period, but her vo
cabulary is, to say the least, somewhat
original.
“Where did you put the butter?” asked
Jane's mistress, as the former was clear
ing off the supper table.
“Done put hit in de freezerator, miss
us," was the answer.—Baltimore Sun.
Better Manners, Anyway.
“While it Is true,” said the mission
ary, "that my dusky parishioners still'
refuse to abandon cannibalism, I may
at least claim credit for having so re
fined and uplifted them that they now
ut altogether with knives and fork*."
