6 ENQUIRER-SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA SUNDAY, DECEMBER 8. 1889 BAB’S BRIGHT BABBLE. WHAT A PRETTY NEW YORK WOMAN FINDS TO WRITE ABOUT. Why Some Fashionable Women Take Turkish Baths—Coats That Leave Their Marks -What Woman Envies in Man, Etc. New York, December 2.—[Special Cor respondence.j—The fashionable woman finds it a little d fficuit, at this time of the year, to keep clean, and it is by no means as inexpensive an operation as it is usu ally supposed. She walks out in her blue coat, with its heavy trimming of black fur, and comes home with a broad black band around her throat, that soap and water will not remove even if prayer ac companies it. The finer your skin the aaore difficult is this mark to get off, and it islusually"best done asithey_recommend at "the ^Turkish;, bath—by the use ofijj demon; just halve it and ;rub the raw part around your throat exactly as it it were si cake of soap. You are determined not io get rheumatism and so you wear black ••silk underwear. No matter how expen- ■pensive it is, no matter how many times it has oeeu washed, wnerever your stays or a belt band press against it you are marked. Not necessarily for life, but un til you set somebody to seruo you off with a small' brush. Half the women go to the Russian bath to get these marks off them, because the gentle vapor ana the hard rubbing will soon cause them to dis appear. Half the women in New York v/Juld ask if they dropped dead on the street that their clothes might not be taken ofi them, and the reason why can ■easily be understood. What a Woman S£r vies in Man. Haven’t you always envied a man the way he carries a roil of bills in his trou sers poc el? He never seems to lose them, «nd yet he thinks nothing more of hauling out the various match-boxes, coins, and pencils that abide therein than if the bills weighed a hundred pounds in stead of being light and airy trifles. How ever, you can carry your filthy lucre, (it is filthy,* isn’t?) in the same way if you want to, for the very smartest of silver clasps comes to hold these bills together and to weight them down so they will be quite safe in an ulster or cloak pocket. Where American Intelligence is Shown. I very seldom feel great anxiety * * * * * * 7 * * * II to get up and wave the Star Spangled Banner. When the numerous emotions were .joined to make ’‘me” patriotism was left out and I was given an ability to look ■coldiy and cynically at the faults of my ■country. I see its advantages, but its dis advantages also rise up prominently be fore me. The other night it dawned upon .me with sudden force that as a nation we were a very intelligent one. I was seeing dearies Windham play “The Candidate,” a play, the fun of which hinges on tne ■differences in English politic.-; about a year ago I saw the original, the “Depute de Bombignac” presented by Coquelin and his sou. In it the shadings of French politics formed the motive. Then a great, audience enjoyed the French piay, laughed heartily at the situations, and thoroughly understood it. This year an other audience roared with laughter as the differences between Radical and Con servative, between Bradiaugh and Bal four, between Home Rule and Landlord ism were discussed, ana not an allusion was lost or misunderstood. Put an Amer ican political play on the stage in either London or Paris, and the people won’t know what you are talking about. They have not the remotest idea—that is, the mass of them have not, as to who is Pres ident of the United, most of them vaguely belitving that it is either George Wash ington or General Grant. So you can easily understand why 7 1 bad a sudden at tack of patriotism, and wanted to hurrah for the American brain that is capable of understanding not only its osvn rather muddled political condition; but the mud •dies of Eugland and France, and the Kil kenny cat State of Ireland. What is a Womanly Woman? When the new American piay, “The dharity Eall,” was produced the other sight, a man said, “I like Georgia Cay van, she is such a womanly woman!” Now, it seems quite time that men should define what that word means, so, though unlike Japheth, I am not in search of a father, Still I am od knowledge bent, and these are the answers I got: “A womanly wo man is one who is considerate, sympa thetic, forgiviDg and genrl<; who can feel for ttose who suffer in mind or body; who knows how to make such a home that her htsbrnd End children are happy in ^ and love her as the tuling power.” Another was: -‘A Womanly woman is one who in physique is -shaped like a woman. She is not womaniy who is as flat as a shingle. She must be rounded in body and in mind. There must be no angles in her temper nor her figure. She must know the power of a loving word and of the soft answer that turneth away wrath. From a married man came this: “She mu3t be a woman who doesn’t contradict a man.” From a ;young artist,who has evidently given some study to madonnas and cherubs, was this: * £ She is the one who knows how to hold a baby in the easiest way for herself and tits most comfortable for it.” From a cynical old bachelor this: “She is not vaasculine. She gives love and invites it She knows how to forgive and doesn’t make a favor of this forgiveness. She is ftond of clothes, but doesn’t think her k*,lvation or happiness depend upon Cbsm. She is what your mother was and watt mice was—a gentlewoman.” Is she describee? Some Womanly Actresses. Still on inquiry bent, I asked, “Who is a womaniy woman?” Naturally, of course, women who are well known have to be se lected. Mrs. Kendall led by a large ma jority; in fact, she was unanimously 'elected as the most womanly. Then came Georgia Cayvau, Mary Moore, of the Wyndham Company, Maude Harrison, Madame Moojeska, Lilian Russell, Jane Hading, ar.d Mary Eastlake. The nays found on their list Eiien Terry, Ada Rehan, and Sarah Bernhardt- Evidently, the being womanly is a something that can oniv be understood or explained by a man. It is the little ieaven which makes the whole lump attractive to him, and •without which it were better to have been born a boy. Maids no Longer Luxuries. A maid used to be considered a luxu;y. iVow she is the torment of the fashionable woman’s life. If she is English her man iners are very good for a while—she does liter duty and is well behaved. But six r.nonths*in this enlightened country and faer quiet maimers becoxe insolent; she o&n’c dress you without refering to the ckicheses and countesses upon whom she laas waited before; she scorns your table raod reads your letters, and knows exactly Low much money you have in your pocket-book. If you should object to any •of her weaknesses and summons up cour- a.ge enough to discharge her, you had beStar have her trunks examined before sfce leaves, and you will be wise if you teil your husband all about her, for the chatoes are that, pretending to know something about you. she wiil attempt a itittle scheme of blackmail immediately after she has left. Where Maids are the Mistresses. If she is French, she stays just long enough to get acquainted with American Habits, and then the leaves you in a great Jaury either to marry the cook HDd open a email restaurant, or to go into the hair-dressing business. The Irish or Scotch maids are usually honest, usually impertinent, usually know very littte, but are as faith ful as dogs, so that because of their virtues, you forgive them the rest. There are women in New York who do not dare to discharge maids—who live in deadly teror of what they are going to do next; who have been foolish enough to let them find out something, it may be a very little something, that they do not want either mother or hnsband to know, and so the maid levies tribute, gets frocks that have only been worn once, has her wages paid to her in advance, and is worse than any skeleton at a feast, because she is with yon nearly all the time. Nst long ago at a very smart luncheon served by a gorgeous butler and three footmen, a woman said, “Oh dear, I think I shall go crazy if they put in a paragraph about me.” The‘ref erence was made'to a very personal caper, 'i fie hosteet looked silence at her guest, and after the servants had left the room, said, “My dear, why in the world did you say that before the servant; you evidently do not know the English ene my butler is perfectly capable of writing you a letter demanding a certain sum of money, or threatening just such a para- grayh as you dread. Tne English servant has no more idea of honor than a cannibal, and not as much, fora cannibal eats yon out and out and does not make life horri ble by spinning out the agony. A Profession Open to Women. When it is thought what an easy life a eood maid has, it seems strange that more women by learning hair dressing and by learning to be systematic, do not apply for such positions, one is seldem asked to eat with the rest of the household; she has much time to go out, and hor work is always easily done and not dirty. A good maid is far beyond rubies when it comes to a question of vaiue to her mistress, and rattier than stand all day iong behind a counter, get small wages and poor food to eat, and no time to call my own, except when I was so tired I could not enjoy it, I would study the art of dressing people, saving them steps, of doing their hair, of keeping their wardrobes in order, in short, of being a perfect treasure of a maid, and a perfect treasure of a maid can get fif'y dollars a month, a pleasant room, a great deal of time to herself, and a number of presents. The perfect maid like the perfect woman is hard to find. A Woman’s Point of Law. I should like to know what right,when a man dies, as did that man who was shot on the street the other day, the law has to go into hi3 pockets and hand a private letter to a reporter that it may oe pub lished in every newspaper. As a people, we are continually talking about our free dom, and yet there is no couutry in the world where the individual has so few rights. I am not an ardent believer in murder, but if the man talked about women he deserved to be shot. That, ho wever, gives nobody any right to take his private letters and publish them. The newspapers are continually moaning that we are not a nation of homes, that we are not home-makers, that we live too much before the public. How can it be helped, when such things as this are- allowed to be done? Suppose tomorrow you drop dead, and in your pocket is a letter that is perfectly innocent, but which, when read by strangers, might have a different construction put upon it. You are not here to explain it, and the woman who is nearest and dearest to you suffers because she thinks of what, that must mean. It is the most abominable custom imaginable, and if there are no homes, il there no home makers, it is oecause the public i3 gelling what it likes —the knowledge of affairs that does not concern it. One lesson to be learned from that letter is, to keep nothing which is written that may prove com promising. The man of the world never dots. The 3Iau of tils World. What is a man of the world? He is the man who, having gone through this world of men and women, has found out the best way of living and of treating his feilow men. He is a man of opinions, but he does not believe he can convert everybody else into believing his way, and so he does not bore people with long-winded argu ments. He is the man who is always well dress ed, but whoEe clothes you couidn’tjdescribe to save your life. He is the man who dosen’t carry his umbrella so that it will poke into your eyes or jab into your legs. He is the man who dosen’t muss women’s frocks and ruin their tempers by going out of the theatre Detween the acts when he is in tli6 centre of a row. He is the man who, if he cannot smoke good cigars and drink good whisky, out ot respect to his neighbor lets both alane. He is the man who is courteous to all women and familiar to Done. He is the man who doseu’t tell you what his dinner cost or how much he pays his bu ! ler. He is the comfortable man. May his number increase, and selecting husbands for your girl and mine, may each of us get a man of the world. Bab. Notes from Cliipley. CHIPLEY, Ga.,D c. 7.—[Special.]—Judge A. A. Alien and Mrs. J.

Almost every man considers house keeping a failure without some woman to keep things decent, and in order, and to look generally after the comfort and wel fare of the family. So sensible is he of his deficiency in housekeeping qualifica tions tfiat when death removes ner he is unbecomingly hasty to find somebody else just as much like her as possible. The State is simply the household enlarged; i but as to the housekeeping of the natiou, i the average man imagines he can run it | successfully unaided by women; that he j can attend to the governmental spring cleaning and refurnishing, can employ the | servants, and provide for the education i of the juveniles without advice or assist- j a,uce from the mothers and wives of the ; national household. The final dismember ment of every great government., what ever its constitution, tells now huge a fail ure he ha3 been as a national house keeper. The difference between the grown np anti-suffragist, aud the little boy with the tangled -kein who refused his sister’s prof fered assistance, is but a difference of age. She suggested, ever so amiably, that his failure lay in supposing the matter to re quire more of force than of nice hand ling; but her offer of assistance being practically an insinuation that John was not all-sufficient, he courteously informed her that if the skein could not be straight ened without her help he would rather leave it tangled. S> he bungled on, get ting it, verv much knottier than before,till finally he flew into a rage and whacked the thing into a thousand pieces. That fa just what the natioual house keepers finally cio with every national household. the offering of the non- partisan amend ment seems to have been generally rel ished by the press. The goddess of dis cord has ever sat, a delegate without cre dentials, in deliberative bodies. We do not think deliberaters of the other sex have so summarily banished her tfiat they can, with propriety, reproach female or ganizations with her presence. At any rate, it is not known that any deliberative body of women has ever required the service of a sergeant at-arms; nor have the debaters resorted to dueling for a settlement of their differs nces. I go for ail sharing the pr iviieges of the government who assist in bearing its bur dens, by no means excluding women.— Abraham Lincoln. FOGIES AND PROGRESSIONISTS. On November 1st a law went into effect in Missouri giving married women the power to contract. The University of Pennsylvania and the University of Kentucky have become co educational. North Dakota, South Dakota and Mon tana come into the Union on a plane at which Georgia, in her senior Statehood, should at least have the grace to blush. In the two first, women will have school suffrage; in Montana, all tax pay ing women will have full suffrage. Govs. Miller, of North Dakota, Mellette, of South Dakota, Ferry, of Washington, and Congressmen Pickier and Carter are all ardent suffragists. Cassius M. Clay is unconsciously ailing the Equal Rights cause in Kentucky by writing some very bitter arti cles against the suffragists of that State About forty years ago Mr. Clay would have only sneered at the movement, but it has long outgrown the weapons em ployed against it in its infancy. Its ene mies long ago found their best logic and rhetoric impotent against an antagonist having justice for a helmet; and now, casting these aside, in desperation they have grasped slander to deal it a death blow, as they think. Every reform has three stages to pass: it springs into beiDg, and is ridiculed; it gathers strength, and is reasoned with; it grows powerful, and is slandered. When a thing has become honorable enough to be slandered, let all its advocates rejoice; for the slanderer of a movement is tfie herald of its victory. H. Augusta Howard.. LEjtON ELIXIR.

J\ JOSEPH DEALER LET The laws of New York allow a man to bequ-.atu his children to whomsoever hs pleases, entirely ignoring the mother’s claim, and this without other reason than caprice. Perhaps there is still seine wo man duil enough to ask: “Why do women want to vote?” Women want to vote in order to send to legislature? men who will make just laws for women, so that if a woman fa married to the kind of man that regards her as property, she will not be at a practical choice between the life of a slave, or a separation from her chil dren. Paul is an acceptable authority to a certain sort of men, because his teachings in regard to the position and rights of wo men suit the selfishness and convenience of such men so much better than the Golden Rale. Thai is why they quote the Apostle of the Geutile3 in preference to the Son of God. “Soft now! Who comes here?” A remonstrant with the venerable ob jection about the “degrading surround ings” at the polls. The circus seldom has a slim attendance of women. They are escorted there by their fathers or brothers or future hus bands, and all push and elbow with untir ing .perseverance to see the clown, or the baby elephant, or the big monkey, as they are urged by their several tastes. Women might do for patriotism what they do for pleasure. However, no such jostling would be necessary at the poll- ; for from every preciuct in vvhicU women have voted the report has! come that “their presence materially helped to preserve order," and that any woman might, with perfect convenience, cast her ballot un attended. Women cannot possibly en counter at the polls a more degraded throng thau is congregated about a circus tent; yet some of those who regularly pat ronize the circus in company with ladies, affect to see much impropriety in a wo man’s going to the polls. Ail this is easily explained. When a woman goes to the circus she does not upset anything; when she goes to the polls she does upset a great many things; because, regardless of party, she looks only to the qualifications aud moral character of the candidate, aud casts her ballot in the interest of good government and social purity. Hence, some of those who would be most shocked to see her “in the low crowd” at the polls, will cheerfully escort her through the’ same low crowd at the circus. The stir created in the W. C. T.
