BAB’S BRIGHT BABBLE.
NEW YORK’S PARKS AND THEA
TRES ONCE MORE LIVELY.
PEOPLE COMING BACK TO TOWN—YOUNG
SOTHEBN’8 NEW SUCCESS—NEW YORK
WOMEN WHO ABE COPYING THE
PARISIAN DEMI-MONDE.
WORKING WOMEN.
New York, Sept. 26.—[Special Cor
respondence.]—I am just back to town
and I felt as if I would like to do as did
the ancient Romans—i. e., kneel down
and kiss the dust of the city. Newport
may have its glory, Narragansett may be
full of joy, Long Branch may be overflow
ing with shekels, Cape May may have
been honored by the presence of the Pres
idential party, the mountains may be full
of glory and bears, but first, last and for
ever, give me New York. I want a place
where people seem to have something to
do; I want a place where the men don’t
have to get up at five o’clock in the morn
ing and spend four hours a day on the train
to make the wherewithal to let their wives
flirt by the sea waves, and I want a place
where I can get all my papers, and books
without having to pay an enormous per
centage on them.
THE LITERATURE OF BANK NOTES.
The sea-side newsdealer is an obliging
person—he wants you to take all that he
possesses in the way of literary matter;
but when your bill comes in at the end of
the week you begin to think you’d better
put that money in a handsome frock from
Worth. He has seduced you into litera
ture that has covers so flamboyant that
you are ashamed to be seen holding
it. You have read papers from all over
the country to oblige him, and you do not
feel yourself an independent woman until
your own news-woman welcomes you
home and permits] you to have a choice
in the reading line.
As soon as you land you ask the par
ticular man who meets you, “What’s go
ing on at, the theatres?” and he says, be
ing a man, “Just wait until you see Eddie
Sothern.” You do wait until after din
ner, and then in yonr pink gown, reefer
and small bonnet you trot off to see the
“Maister of Woodbarrow.” All the
swells, as you know, go to the theatre
gowned in this way just now. They have
left the satins and silks for the market
women, who promenade Broadway in the
bright sunshine with gowns cu; low in the
neck and golden beads encircling their
throats. The smart girls, by the bye, are
drifting, not only to simplicity, but almost
to dowdiness as far as the street is con
cerned, and a man esteems it a greater
honor to walk with a woman who does
not attract the least attention than to be
with one who, by her gorgeous gowns, at
tracts the eyes and the sneers of all man
kind. It is not a bad idea this having the
very swell set approve of simplicity, but it
may teach the nation that virtue which it
needs so badly—thrift.
YOUNG SOTHERN’S NEW PLAY.
“The Maister of Woodbarrow” is a
play that brings your heart right into your
throat, and calls up before you the loving
and true ones who are far away, and the
tears come to your eyes when you see the
innocent prodigal return to the old home
where the woman folk are waiting to greet
liim and give him the best of welcomes.
My friend, the woman folk always do wel
come the prodigal, and I think, more than
inen realize the temptation that has been
his, and pitying his fall, are most earnest
in helping him to stand on his feet again.
Mr. Sothern shows in this charcter, this
good, honest, eager, ambitious, loving boy,
one of the finest pieces of work he has
ever done. The boy’s heart and brain
grow before you. In the first act, when
he tells his cousin of his great desire to
go out in the big strange world, you know
at once the type of boy who sees so much
in the unknown—just such a boy as yours
or mine, and it is just such boys as go
out when the siren sings; but alas! they do
not always learn the lesson, and they do
not always come home to the people that
wait. The Maister gets the fortune, goes
to London, and is fleeced and cheated, but
he does not seem to mistake twice; those
Devon lads are clever, you know, sweet as
their own cream, but shrewd, as every man
ought to be without being suspicious.
ED SOTHERN’S PERSONALITY.
Through the story which interests you,
all through the time when you smile at
the Maister’s mistakes and grieve,with
sorrow, you do have time to stop and re
cognize, between the acts, the artistic
knowledge of the man before you. Every
thing is easy with Mr. Sothern. Some of
this may be inherited, but I do believe
that the most of it comes from hard study
and a great determination to succeed. A
merry-hearted fellow, liked by men and
women, Edward Sothern has kept his
name beautiful and clean, and today with
out any doubt, he stands the foremost
among the younger men of the stage. I
know no one in London who is like him;
they have very good walking gentlemen,
men who are easy on the stage, men who
wear their clothes well, but all of them
who have reached anywhere near the top
of the ladder are much older men than
the Maister of Woodbarrow.
NEW YORKERS BACK IN TOWN.
If you think there is nobody in town be
cause the houses are closed up, just ride
out to the park about five o’clock and see
the people who are out. There is Mrs.
Burke-Roche, looking like an orchid in a
gown that is a combination of faint shades
with one of her pretty children-beside her,
and, as a thoughtless young woman said,
“with her photograph smile on.” There’s
some of the Vanderbilts as demure and
quiet as possible; there’s August Belmont,
-driving alone, with an air as if he had
seen so much of everything that he was a
bit tired of it; there’s lots of pretty girls
on their horses, with the smartest of riding
habits, and there’s a noble army of young
men driving tall carts and wearing collars
that nearly choke them, yet looking as if
the world was made flJt them, and as if
they were going to get all the pleasure
possible out of it. Then there are the
other people—the people that nobody ap
parently sees, but at whom everybody
stares in the blankest way possible.
WOMEN WHO ASSUME THEIR COLORS.
Two ladies are driving in Central Park
who have evidently been driving around
the lake in Paris, and who have learned
the ways of the Parisian demi-mondaine;
they are gowned in magpie fashion. One
wears an - all-black broadcloth frock that
fits her as if it were an armor. It has
cuffs, collar, and pointed gilet of heavy
white corded silk; her gloves are black,
and so are her shoes. The bonnet seems
a coronet of black jet, with a tiny white
bird just in front, and at her throat and
in her ears are black pearls.
The other one is in a white cloth frock
ENQUIRER - SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 1890.
exactly matching in design that of her
friend; it is trimmed with black silk and
black jet; her shoes and stockings are
white; the gloves are white stitched with
black, and her bonnet is a white tulle with
a black bird in front. She wears white
pearls, and where one woman carries a
black tulle parasol the other has a full
frou-frou one of white crepe. The effect
is something startling. Every man, wo
man and child in the park look at them,
and one or two highly bred fox-terriers
give sniffs of discontent at the bad taste
of such people who assume their colors.
WHEN ALL WOMEN DRESS ALIKE.
Another remarkable turnout has men
on the box in a pale gray livery, their
boots having pinkish gray tops; the wo
men in this are one in yellow tulle and
silk, and the other in pale rose-colored
crepe de chine. Pretty? Well, of course
it looked pretty, but everybody guessed
who the women were,and everybody knew
.that it was wretchedly bad form. There
is one English virtue that American wo
men are gradually learning—that is, that,
as far as beauty and appearance are con
cerned, it is wisest to reserve them for the
people who know you well, and not to
flaunt them on the highways and byways
for the benefit of Thomas, Richard, or
Henry, who think that all women, being
free and equal, are all alike. Of course,
these three gentlemen are likely to be mis
taken; but when all women dress alike,
they find it difficult to decide between
them.
DROPPING SUMMER ACQUAINTANCES.
The pleasing task of dropping summer
acquaintances now falls to most sociable
women. A book lent, a flower offered, a
new stitch in fancy-work shown has
caused the darling of your heart to be
come acquainted with a woman who, if
she had been met in the city and seen
with eyes not glazed by the summer sun,
would have been marked “undesirable.”
An acquaintance once made, especially
with a woman of this sort, is very difficult
to unmake. She had her object in seeking
you, and now she proposes you shall help
her during the winter. I sometimes get
so disgusted with women and with their
utter lack of sense, that I wonder why
the laws of the United States do not insist
on their being allowed just so much rope,
and the other end of it being tied to a
man to guide them.
HOW A WOMAN CUTS A “FRIEND.”
A tender-hearted little woman will per
mit herself to be dragged into an ac
quaintance which will cause her hours of
weeping; she bas not the moral courage to
deliberately cut the woman, and the wo
man, being an intrigante does not mean
to let her. At last, however, she does get
enough courage to strike the blow, and
the way she does it is very funny. The
chances are, she meets the undesirable
when she is with some man to whom she
has told her tale of woe, or else with a
woman who knows the world better than
she does, and either one of these will
give her courage. She looks at the “crea
ture” (for she has gotten to call her that)
and stares vacantly, as does a French doll;
then she turns to her protector and says,
“You see I could do it; but do you sup
pose she will write me a note about it?”
That she can leave the note unans .vered
never enters her small head, and the
“creature” likes nothing better than to
have a lot of letters frdm her victim, that
she may display them to her own circle
and show how intimate she is. One of
these women went into a well-known pho
tographer's here and announced that she
must have her picture taken at once, as
Mrs. Dash was worrying the life out of her
to get it. The chances are that Mrs. Dash
never asked her for it, but the men who
heard it all concluded that they were bo
som friends, and poor Mrs. Dash will suf
fer from the stigma of such an acquaint
ance. Nobody to blame but herself.
WOMEN AS TELEGRAPH OPERATORS.
I am a great admirer of women, but
there is one position in life in which I
think they would be cheerfully missed, and
that is as telegraph operators. A small
district messenger boy, who had a large
heart and who was less busy than I am,
told me that there were some good ones
among them, and this has given me a little
bit of courage as to their future; but it is
pretty hard to be treated as a woman is
by the young lady who manages the key,
whose white frock is immaculate, and
whose blue beads are things of beauty,
and who is so lofty that you flinch before
her. She has sent a telegram for me,
signed with the name of the person to
whom it was directed and for three days a
very busy man did not know who in the
world it came from. She has been out
when I wanted to send a telegram, which,
by the bye, I thought was against the
rules of the company, and in another
form and another frock she has taken a
dollar to let me know three hours before
the steamer arrives, when that very
steamer had been in for six hours, and it
was her business to know it. ’Tis true
the company returned me sixty cents of
the money, but I missed meeting a friend
and missed arranging some important
business; and yet there are people who
approve of of women as telegraph oper
ators! Deluded souls! It may sound a
little ill-natured in me to say this about
any woman who has to earn her own liv
ing.
hints for working women.
But I think there are some things a wo
man must remember when she goes out
into the work-a-day world.
She must leave her personal affairs,
Charlie’s letters and her fine frocks at
home.
She must remember that in not doing
her best, as far as her work is ccncerned,
she is not only cheating her employer and
the general public, but she is lowering her
own character.
She must have patience and be cheerful
—both, perhaps, are a little difficult at
some times, but a pleasant manner and a
willingness to wait a little will mean suc
cess in the future.
You know she really oughtn’t to be
working at all. The good Lord did not
build her with any intention of earning
her own living. It was distinctly stated
to Adam that he was to do all the work,
but I guess from Adam down there have
been men who have shirked what they
ought to do. When I think of that blue
beaded telegraph operator, I get into -e
sort of a white heat. If she were a man
I would have made a complaint against
her. But I don’t like to do it—because—
she’s a woman. And so is Bab.
THE WORLD’S COTTON SUPPLY.
New York, September 27.—The total
visible cotton supply for the world is
1,344,270 bales, of which 823,070 are
American, against 1,070,938 and 719,938
respectively last year. The receipts of
cotton this week at all interior towns are
110,977 bales; receipts from plantations
231,418. Crop in sight bales.
SOUTHERN SOCIETY IN NEW YORK.
SOME PLEASANT GOSSIP FBOM THE GBEAT
metropolis.
New York, September 26.—(Special. [
The silver wedding of Mr. and Mrs. Fred
erick C. Rogers, celebrated last week, was
an event which brought together many
Southern people. The pair were married
in New Orleans in 1865, and although
their home ha-s been in the North all these
years, they have not by any means lost
track of their Southern friends. In fact
Mrs. Rogers, who entertains on a hospi
table scale and very frequently, generally
has her rooms pretty full of the Southern
contingent and their visitors from “home.”
Miss Mallard, who has [recently returned
from abroad, Mrs. Jennie Carter, of New
Orleans, who now makes her home on
Staten Island, Mr. William Vaughn, of
Jackson, Miss., and General and Mrs.
Pryor, were among the warm congratula-
tors of the “Silver pair.” Mrs. Rogers,
attired in a gown of rich brocade trimmed
with feathers and lace, looked very young
and handsome, and the occasion might
without remark have passed for the
original ceremony rather than the celebra
tion of its anniversary. One present,
among the many that were received, all
rich and elegant, came from Mr. John
Van Horne, and Dr. Marvin Greene, man
ager of the Western Union Telegraph Co.,
whose daughters acted as Mrs. Rogers’
bridemaids twenty-five years ago. Natu
rally, toward the close of the evening, the
conversation took on a reminiscent tone,
but in every instance events of a cheerful
ending were revived, so true it is that in
all accountings, there is generally a bal
ance on the credit side of the ledger of
life. The appointment of General Roger
Atkinson Pryor offered him by Governor
Hill to succeed Judge Lawrence on the
bench of the Court of Common Pleas had
already been unofficially announced, and
Gen. Pryor on this evening spoke openly
about it in response to many questions.
He said he had concluded to accept it al
though he would not write his acceptance
until after Judge Larremore’s resignation
should take effect on October 1st. The
choice of Gov. Hill gives satisfaction
among very different political classes, not
a little assisted in society by the power
his wife has of attracting and keeping
friends, but perhaps the best reason of all
is the confidence in the equity of the man
which all the facts of his New York ca
reer inspire. Notwithstanding General
Pryor is a typical Southerner, one who
led Southern thought before 1860, or per
haps because of it, people have grown to
accept him, since the war, as still the
leader of Southern thought, in the sense
that he has urged his compatriots by word
and deed to accept the results of the war
and turn their energies from the futile
gathering up of spilt milk to the pursuits
of peace. It would be superfluous to re
peat the facts of his biography, which are
too well known and which in an article
on the lawyers of New York city we have
recently given. But they should be borne
in mind by the historians of the recon
struction period. He is a shining exam
ple of a determined builder, who created
a new career out of the ruins of an old
one. Gen. Pryor is now a little past 62
years old, but his long straight hair is still
black, and his energy—especially when it
is directed to the amelioration of the
“under dog”—seems to be as powerful as
ever. In society Gen. Pryor’s family
holds the somewhat difficult position of
preserving concord among many different
sets of paople. Mrs. Pryor’s sympathies
are far reaching, but she inclines to the
literarv set, while her daughter is a favor
ite in the ultra-fashionable class. Gen.
Pryor’s friends, on the other hand—we
mean his personal friends—come from
every walk. Consequently the salon of
this family presents quite an epitome of
life. Mrs. Pryor’s literary taste is unex
ceptional, and she is always willing to
give an aspiring author the benefit of it.
They say that Mrs. Van Renssaeler Cru-
ger, a new writer who is determined to
follow Mrs. Pryor’s example, and link to
gether literature and society, sat at that
lady’s feet very often during the past win
ter in the attitude a famous personage
of Holy writ adopted towards Gamaliel.

We met yesterday an enthusiastic party
of six gentlemen, including some South
erners, who had just returned from a trip
through the hunting and fishing districts
of Maine. Mr. H. H. Baker, of the
Times-Democrat, was one of the party
entertained by New York gentlemen who
conducted the excursion throughout in the
most lavish way. When the party broke
up and the Southerners were expressing
their sense of obligation, the Gothamites
responded that it was only quid pro quo,
so often on their trips to the South had
they been most hospitably entertained.
A new pilgrimage to the South started
on Saturday consisting of thirty-eight
people, including Colin Forbes and Allen
Rutherford, assistant surgeon U. S. A.,
also Gen. John C. Robinson. Their Mecca
is the battle-fields of Virginia, and they
will attend the dedication of a monument
to Col. Joseph A. Maesch at Fredericks-
burgh.
Makenzie Semple, assistant district at
torney under Fellows is to marry Miss
Aimee Coudert, youngest daughter of
the well-known lawyer Frederick R. Cou
dert. Mr. Semple is from Montgomery,
son of Henry Churchhill Semple, member
of the Democratic Committee from Ala
bama, and leader of the bar of that State
and he has proved himself in the trials of
the boodle board of aldermen to possess
a large share of his father’s acumen. Mr.
Semple took a leading part in the prepar
ation and conduct of most of these cases.
In appearance he is tall, slender, of light
complexion and with a particularly win
ning expression. He is known in society,
a leading member of the Southern Club
and well (liked by all who fall in with
him, whether lawyers or laity.
A party which seemed to thoroughly
enjoy Mr. Gillett’s new farce comedy—
“All the Comforts of Home,” on Tues
day night, was composed of Mr. Henry
Watterson, Judge Emory Speer and Miss
Speer of Georgia, Judge John E. Bacon
and Mrs. Bacon of Columbia, S. C., and
Mr. Allen W. Thurman. Both Mr. Wat
terson and Lieut. Gov. Jeffries of New
Orleans, who is at the New York Hotel,
have been entertained and reported
at length by the daily press on the sub
jects of the Force bill and Mr. Blaine’s
reciprocity scheme.

Among the closing festivities at New
port was the brilliant production of a
comedietta from the pen of Mrs. Burton
Harrison, called “The Mouse Trap,” in
which Miss Hetty Cary assumed the lead
ing role. Miss Carey is a graceful, intelli
gent girl and a talented amateur actress.
She is a niece of Mr. Newell Martin, wife
of Professor Martin of the John Hopkins
University, famed in her day both as a
beautiful woman and as having fitted the
familiar college air “Lawriger Horatius”
to the Song “Maryland my Maryland.”
Among the visitors and guests of the
Southern Society this week have been
Capt. Jas. M. Barry, of Norfolk, Edward
F. Butts, of Vicksburg, Bedell Parker, of
Columbus, Ga., Hamilton Yancey, of
Rome, Ga., Wm. Mehle and A. J. Rugsby
of New Orleans.
Mrs. Henry Clews, who has been spend
ing the summer very quietly at Saratoga,
was in the city for a few days last week,
and is now in her villa at Newport, where
she will remain until the middle of Octo
ber. Mrs. Clews was the beautiful Miss
Lucy Worthington of Kentucky, and has
not been seen in society since the death of
her young son which occurred last year.

times.
