IT IS ENTIRELY PROPER.
Propriety holds that it will be correct for girl to offer her hand and heart to loving swains.
If the closing year has not been what it should have been to some Richmond maiden who imagines she would rather be married than single, said maiden can take heart because after today only five days intervene between 15H7 and leap year. It has naturally been four years since the last leap year, and during these four long, weary year. the hands of many maidens have been held exruse us tied by the bonds of convention. It is never proper in the ordinary year for a girl to take hor courj'KO in one hand and her lover in the other and make a genuine proposal of marriage to him. But in leap years it is the proper thing to do. If Richmond girls lose out during the coming year, it will be their own fault, no one else- will be to blame. In leap year Kirls can give dances, can arrange parlies and all nuch functious. and oh. joy, they can invite their young men friends and can take matters on their own shoulders just as much as they care to. There is no reason why next year should not be one of supreme happiness for every Richmond girl. It is rumored that some of the local women who have been neglected by Cupid in the past will now become press agents of their own and will go after a little business in the gentle art of love making.

Discovering Writers. The rejection of a manuscript often left a pang, but the acceptable manuscript, especially from an unknown band, brought a glow of joy which richly compensated me for all I suffered from the others. To feel the touch never felt before, to be the first to find the planet unimagined in the Illimitable heaven of art, to be in at the dawn of a new talent, with the light that seems to mantle the written page, who would not be an editor for fcuch a privilege? I do not know how tt Is with other editors who are also authors, but I can truly say for myself that nothing of my own which I thought fresh and true ever gave me more pleasure than that I got from the like qualities In the work of some young writer revealing his power.

MISS OLLIE EATON,
Ctading Woman With the Van Dyke, &. Eaton Company.
The Simple System by Which Foreign Bullion or Coin Arriving by Ship In New York Is Turned Into American Money The Loss by Abrasion. j Buying $10,000,000 worth of gold from the Bank of England, says the cashier of the subtrcasury in New York, is no more complex a transaction than buying a piece of real estate. Whatever difference there is in the two is in favor of the gold purchase. In it you are pretty sure to get the value of your money. Much of the gold bought by the large banking houses of New York and other American cities is purchabed from the Bank of England or the Bank of France. Its purchase is arranged for by the English or French agents of the bank that wishes to secure the gold. The price that will have to be paid depends largely upon the demand. In panic times, when every dollar of gold that can be secured is being eagerly sought by bankers here, the price is as high as 5 and 6 per cent. The shipment of the gold is accompanied by comparatively few extra precautions. An extra detective or two from Scotland Yard, perhaps, and as many other private detectives employed by the Bank of England furnish all the protection needed. All gold imported into this country comes in one of two forms. It is either in gold bars or in coin. If in coin it 1m usually American money that has been eent abroad in some previous year, for a comparatively small amount of foreign gold coin is brought here. Whether In bar or coin, however, it is all shipped iu small steel cases. The bars are of an exact length, so as to permit them being packed tightly in the cases, while the coins are in bags, irrespective of denomination, that hold just COO ounces. The arrival of a gold laden ship at her pier In the North river is no different, so far as precautions for the gold Itself are concerned, from that of any other vessel. There are always government officials, city police and private detectives to meet each ship, and the arrival of a boat with $10,000,000 ia gold aboard will result in no more than one or two extra men being present to ride on the wagons carrying the gold away from the pier. The steel boxes, with their precious contents, as they are carted down from the ship to the wharfs might from their appearance contain only ordinary merchandise. If any unusual precautions be taken, however, it is during the brief moments that the boxes with their millions are lying on the pier waiting to be lifted into the wagons and carted away. Then they are watched by a good many pairs of eyes, and not a stranger la allowed to approach acywhere near them. The final act of the purchase of gold differs in times of panic and at ordinary times. In times of panic, when the necessity for geld Is so great that every moment is precious, its real value in relieving a situation comes only when it is piled high on the counters of the banks and trust companies awaiting the demands of the creditors of those institutions. The gold that arrives in bars goes direct to the assay office. Before any attempt is made to analyze it and ascertain its real value the purchaser receives a certified check from the assayer for OS per cent of the value supposed to be contained In the bars. The check can he converted into cash immediately, and the delay of two or three days necessary to make a complete assay of the shipment is avoided. Whatever additional sum is due the purchaser after the aesayer's report la made he receives In a day or two. Much the same process so far as expediency is concerned Is gone through with the gold coins. They, instead of going to the assay office, go direct to the subtreasury. Each bag is weighed unopened and if found to tip the scales at 500 ounces $9,300 in cash is immediately advanced. That process saves many hours, for each bag has to be opened, the coins assorted into their several denominations, counted and weighed for loss from abrasions. After that is done the money is returned to bags containing $5,000 each, and the balance due the purchaser, whatever it may be. is forwarded to him. The only other class of gold shipment that has to be handled is that of foreign gold coins. They are not even counted, but are placed immediately in a crucible, melted and then sent to the assay office, where they are treated as were the gold bara. The extra time necessary to secure actual American money for the gold coins of foreign nations is the chief reason for the small
amount of gold imported in that form. As between shipping gold In coin or bars there is little difference. It Is said that the motion of the ships causes a loss of about $200 in every shipment of $1,000,000. It is a fact however, that the coins do lose considerably more in weight than the bars.

Vaudeville at the Phillips. Friday afternoon has been allotted exclusively to the ladies at the New Phillips by Miss Ray, mind reader, and no man will be allowed to attend at that time. This is for the purpose of allowing the ladies to ask such questions as they may see fit. Friday night, in addition to the regular bill, Floyd Wood and Isabell Bass will appear in a Spanish dancing and singing act and being local people their friends will be anxious to see them. There is much interest as to who will get the dinner set that is to be awarded Saturday night. Plenty of opportunity ia still afforded for all those who have not yet seen this week's bill to do so and it Is predicted that none will be disappointed.

DECORATIONS PLENTIFUL
Port of Spain, Dec. 26 The holiday spirit pervaded the American fleet Wednesday but it was more like the celebration of the Fourth of July than that of the Christinas the men had known in colder climes. Decorations there were in plenty and wreaths of holly and evergreens twinging, that had been brought along to keep alive the remembrances of the day. And there were special dinners in the messrooms for the officers and turkey and other good things for the men. Yesterday not less than 6,000 or 7,000 of the bluejackets were allowed on shore, and they entered into the spirit of merry making with the townspeople whose geniality and hospitality have known no bounds. This beautiful
Spanish town is at present looking its
best, and Christmas with its warm sunshine, was greatly enlivened by the thousands of uniformed visitors who
at one time of the day or another pa
raded the principal thoroughfares.
As predicted, the Christmas business at the Gennett was very liberal and the patrons of the house were well pleased with the combined offering of repertoire and specialties as put on by the Van Dyke and Eaton Company. The remaining performances will be as follows: Thursday night "A Human Slave." Friday Matinee, "Sapho"; night, "Little Christian.'; Saturday Matinee, "Dora Thome." Night, "Men of Jim town." All told, the engagement of the Van Dyke-Katon company promises to prove fuly as successful as that of any stock company appearing at the Gennett in recent weeks.

Charms and S?!!s That Are Used by Mocrisri Women. Mrs. Mansel-rieyne!l writes of th curious charms used by the women of Morocco: "Moori?li women resort much to charms to gain lovers or to keep their affections when gained. There i one charm which is seldom kuown to fail. It consists of shredding a small piece of nn undergarment which fie man has worn and, after certain incantations have been said over it, of rolling the particles into the shapo of a small ball. 'I bis is embedded in a larje ball of clay and, after beins slightly damped. It is kept in a pot over the embers of live charcoal. "I have been assured that as soon as the beat penetrates the clay the man, whoever he may be. will lay aside whatever work he is doing at th time and fly to the arms of the woman who Invokes the charm. As long as the ball is kept warm so long will the heat of love burn in tho heart of tba lover for that woman. "Another ppell much resorted to Is cast by cutting off the tips of a donkey's ears, cooking them and mixing them in the man's food. lie then becomes as foolish as a donkey, with love for the charmer who has provided bis uusavory repast."
