“BAB” ON MARRIAGE.
Jl NEW YORK BACHELOR GETS A
LITTLE LECTURE.
Ann “BAB” REPEATS IT FOB THE BEN
EFIT OF OTHEB BACHELORS—A MAN’S
IDEA OF A WIFE AND A WO
MAN’S ANSWER—MABBIAGE
IS NOT ON THE DECLINE.
New Yobk, October 2.—[Special Cor
respondence.]—On the stage, in the news
papers, by the novelists, and among the
people who discuss things today, the mar
riage question is again to the fore. Why
men don’t marry and why women don’t
mairy is talked over and talked over until
it would seem as if the subject were worn
threadbare, but is always taken up again
at the next meeting.
a bachelor’s marriage dbeam.
I beard a man say the other night, a
man who had been educated in the most
conservative manner, and who had seen
muck of life, “What I want is a
companion who will be affectionate. I do
not look for an ideal love, I do not ex
pect to find an angel, but I would like to
meet a companion and a comrade; one
who when I wanted to be silent.didn’t care
to talk; one who, when I wanted to dis
cuss a book, a picture or a bit of news,
would be interested in it; one who would
<be on one side of the fireside when I was
on the other and would make for me a
home. And yet I am not willing to bind
myself to any woman. I will not, even
with a weddingiring, be tied.” Sweet sel
fishness this wasl
bar’s liltle marriage sermon.
£ told him this, and felt myself a de
fender of the cause of matrimony:
“Tou will never get what you wish ex
cept in a wife. The wife makes the
fconse, makes the home feeling, and is
fWfllSientiy loving■ and unselfish to give in
4o the whims and va" ar ies of a man. The
other woman may interest you, may be
amusing, you may admiF e her beauty, you
may be proud of her wi^i but she never
can make the place for yd ur soul to rest in
—that must be encircled by a golden band.
As for ties—no ties are so st ron g as th<3§e
'that bind a man to his sins and £33e so
^difficult to break.
HOW WOMEN REGARD MARRIAGE.
“As to marriage, women are getting to
look at it in a much more sensible way
than do men. And a woman just as care
fully thinks out what sort of a compan
ion she is going to have as she does what
•sort of a home she. intends to make for
for him. It goes without saying that she
loves him. For women are more essen
tially sensitive of flesh than men, and sel
dom marry where they dislike. January
and June do occasionally wed, but usually
-June has gone a-maying with young love,
had her heart hurt, and is willing to ac-
cept a more or less chilling affection from
January and to be satisfied. Every wo
man can marry, even those with wooden
iegs, tor if she can’t marry a man who
will be a companion to her, she can marry
■a man she can take care of; and on my
honor, there are women in this world in
whom the maternal is so strongly developed
that the greatest happiness of their mar
ried life is taking care of the man who
ought to bs looking after them. But it is
justa question of taste,aud if you prefer to
care for Charlie and to study out bow his
life shall be easy, and I prefer to care for
Jack, and believe it is his duty to study
out how mine shall be made most com
fortable that is entirely your businss and
mine.
MARRIAGE IS NOT DECLINING.
“‘Just as many people get married now
as ever did, and it is something that will
never, never go out of fashion. Fast
men may rave against it, crack-brained
novelists may write against it, and morbid
souls may moan over it, but ever since
the first marriage in the garden of Eden
we have had more or less of an inclination
to go and do likewise. Some marry and
repent, and some repent because they
•don’t marry; but as for anybody except
ing a wife making a home for man—why,
it is utter nonsense!” It is needless to
say that after this tirade even the selfiish
brute in the ' shape of a man who had
given his opinion in the beginning, wilted
—wilted perceptibly, and my heart throbs
with a proud beat as I think it possible
that I have made a convert. Between you
and me, I am hoping that some nice rosy
faced girl who has just gotten back from
the seaside will assist in the conversion,
and make him a more sensible man and a
tmsband.
MOULDED TO THE FORM DIVINE.
We are all flitting around in summer
frocks with warm jackets over them, and
admiring the latest evolution of the Amer
ican girl. She is glove-like in her get up.
Her gown is most mysterious to be
hold, and the wonderment among the club
men is how she gets in it. I could tell
hut I won’t. But I may mention that
neither a shoe-horn nor glove-buttoner are
•used in the process. The skirt (cloth of
course) fits her figure exactly, a tiny gore
just in front making it quite smooth there,
while the curves about her hips are fitted
over as exactly as are the gloves on her
' hand. In the back are a couple of double
box-pleats that givfe the necessary fullness
but they never interfere with the smooth
ness of the froilt, and are only there to
permit Mademoiselle to take the long
swinging step that just now she is affect
ing.
THE AMERICAN GIRL’S FIGURE.
Her bodice is rather a long basque, un
trimmed, and not showing a crease or a
wrinkle, yet she can bend easily, and in
deed in all her movements suggests an un
dulation such as the waves make. Only
an American girl could dress this way, for
she is the only woman in the world who
has the figure to do it. Seldom over me
dium size, she is usually extremely well
shaped about the hips, achieves the line
of beauty in her back, and if her bust is
small she goes to a tailor who knows the
value of curled hair and cotton, and she
does not present the disgusting appearance
■of French women, who, even when they
are quite young, grow enormously large
about the bust. As her feet are small they
show from beneath the plain skirt, shod
to perfection, and when I see her, the ex
ponent of good form, I feel like rushing
up, shaking hands with her, telling her
bow much I admire her, how abominably
vain I am at heart of the American girl,
aud then rushing away waving the “Stars
and the Bars” and the “Stars and the
Stripes.”
COLUMBIA’S FAIR DAUGHTERS.
The American girl is going to be the
woman of the century about whom every
body talks. She is what Rudyard Kipling
•calls “knowledgable;” that is to, say, she
is willing to know and she doesn’t need to
be told anything twice. The high-pitched
voice her cousins from over the sea used
to object to has become subdued; the wear
ing of jewelry on the -street has been
given the go-by, and the curious inquisi
tiveness, really a form of childishness and
a desire to know, has become absolutely
nil, and she sits placidly and permits her
self to be informed. She doesn’t eat any
more sweets than any other woman, and
she is a hundred times more interesting to
a man than either a French or an English
woman. When she gets married she loves
her husband and her babies, and yon sel
dom see in her household the violent
quarrels that are countenanced in English
ones. She is worth a great deal more to
the country than either the Declaration of
Independence or the Chicago Fair, and if
her own country don’t appreciate her,some
other will, and she will be taken off in the
night and disappear as mysteriously as do
most other blessings. So be considerate
and carefol of her, American men, be
cause she is worth it, and you know you
are great ones for looking out for the value
of things.
THE SOUBRETTE OFF THE STAGE.
The soubrette is missing from the
streets. She has gone to join the company
on the road, and I miss her beautiful au
dacity and her happy little face. She
didn’t seem to know much, but she util
ized the knowledge she had in a particular
ly fascinating way. Nine times out of ten
she had on a blue or black cashmere skirt
that had been mended and patched and
seen a great deal of service. Then she
wore a loose blouse and drew her belt in
about her waist so tight that her measure
ment was just exactly eighteen inches.Her
sailor hat was tilted over her faee and her
short hair showed fluffy all about it. But
it was at her waist and her feet that one
must look to see her charm. No matter
how shabby her frock, her shoes were as
bright and her stockings as black as pos
sible. She rather fancied standing some
place near the corner talking to the heavy
villain of the play, and sometimes quite
unconsciously one hand would go on her
hip, and one foot would come out from
under her skirt, as if she was ju^J going
to do a little bit of. ,£ fiance. She was
.aughing always—laughed as she was
drinking soda.% a ter, because it was so
cool, an<j ^helaughed when she was eating
chowder, because it was so hot. She
didn’t seem to have a care in the world,
but, dear soul, we didn’t know what her
cares were. She was just a girl who
danced and sang in a sort of variety play;
and yet somehow when I pass the corner,
and she isn’t there, and I remember the
heavy villian, I do hope he isn’t playing
his part off the stage as well as on it, and
I just make one of those strong wishes
that in the sight of God are prayers, that
next summer’s sunshine may look down
on the little soubrette as merry as ever
and on the heavy villain with the clearest
sort of conscience.
WHAT SHE WISHED FOB AND GOT.
Do you ever wish? Do you remember
that Swedenborg said, “Man beware of
that which thou wishest with insensity,
for it will surely come unto you?” Well,
the other day I was taken to a wishing
well, and thinking this over, I got very
much frightened and concluded not to
Wish anything very much for myself, but
to do a lot of wishing for other people.
So 1 wished that I might have a new
pair of shoe-strings. I got them.
I wished that I might have some new
silk stockings. I got them.
I wished that I might have a birthday
cake. I got it.
I wished that women were more loving,
children more polite and men less selfish.
I don’t know whether that’s come trufe or
not yet.
I wished that somebody would write
some good books, books that were inter
esting, books that were bright, without a
nasty idea for the plot. I got a few of
these, princlipally Kipling’s and Jerome’s.
I wished that the girls might get all the
pretty clothes they wanted and their fath
ers be willing to pay the bill. The re
turns from this wish have not come in
yet.
I wished that women never had to do a
bit of work except that which comes in
their character as the head of the house
hold. Evidently I didn’t wish this with
enough intensity, for it wasn’t answered.
I wished that men weren’t so snappish
when they were questioned about the rea
son why they didn’t come after you in
time to go to the theatre. This wish
seemed to go to the very bottom of the
well, and will probably be found when
truth is discovered.
Then I grew selfish, and wished that I
might like everybody, and everbody
might like me, and that I could have ail
the books and pictures and babies in the
world. Out' of regard for the people
with whom I live, nothing has been heard
of this wish. Curious, isn’t it? Bab.

AN INTERESTING AND GOSSIPPY LETTER
FROM THE METROPOLIS.
New York, October 2.—[Special.]—
Capt. Hugh R. Garden, who has just re
turned from an extended trip through
South Carolina and Virginia, says that
familiar as he has been for many years
with these regions, his late observation
amazed him. Capital is flowing in rapidly
from the North and from England. Money
is plenty and everybody appears to have
a share. Young men who, two or three
years ago, were idling about with no
apparent aim in life, have been trans
formed into brisk, alert business men, who
are laying ont and selling town lots or
forming themselves into associations to
invite Northern capitalists to inspect
Southern lands rich in coal and ore. The
signs of prosperity and progress are incon
ceivable to any one who has not recently
visited the South and talked with the
people. The town of Buena Vista, on the
Valley road, near Lexington, Va., which
eighteen months ago was a farm, now has
3,000 inhabitants. Clifton Forge was a
hillside a year ago, but the Chesapeak and
Ohio railroad has transformed it into a
flourishing town. Basic City, in the
Shenandoah Valley, a meadow three
months ago, is now a thriving village with
two large manufactories in operation and
others coming in. The Connelsville Coking
Company, which has just sold its immense
plant to Andrew Carnegie for $5,000,000,
will move to Southwest Virginia. Gover
nor Fitzhugh Lee has turned a stream of
capital representing a million and a half
dollars from the rolling mills of Ohio into
the town of Glasgon, Va. An old lady of
Norfolk has just sold a strip of land hav
ing a water front for $90,000, which three
years ago Capt. Garden says she would
almost have given away for the taxes due
upon it. This wonderful prosperity whose
benefits will extend throughout the entire
South, is no ephemeral mirage or wind-in- ■
flated boom, but has aRsas naturally upon
the surest afld £tf6hgest foundation—that
of-TJOal !nd iron. The English heart has
always inclined toward Virginia whenever
the English eye was turned toward Ameri
ca as a field for investment. The incubus
of the State debt has been the sole deter
rent, and this Capt. Garden says will most
positively be settled within the next six
months.
Mr. J. S. Jeans, Secretary of the British
Iron and Steel Association is stopping, by
invitation of Col. J. C. Calhoun, who is
now in London, at his house, where he is
entertained by Mr. Calhoun’s brother.
Nearly a thousand stranger capitalists, en
gineers and scientists, men interested in
ship building, iron works, steel works, etc.,
are in New York today. They are from
England, France, Germany, and this coun
try, many of them being inventers of re
nown, coming famous in the world of let
ters, while nearly all represent immense
capital and landed estates. The presence
at one time of such a large number of dis
tinguished men could not fail to make an
impression even on great New York.
There are nearly 100 ladies accompanying
the foreign delegations, particularly in the
tase of the English. These are women of
cplendid physique and fresh complex-
sons. On their first day in America they
visited the stores on Broadway and Fifth
avenue, and were doubly conspicuous for
innocently promenading that forbidden
ground of Broadway between Twenty-third
and Thirty-third streets, upon which a na
tive New York woman rarely sets foot.
The entire delegation leaves here on Sat
urday for Philadelphia, Pittsburg and
Chicago, and will then make a tour of the
South, stopping at Roanoke, Chattanooga
and Birmingham.

Mr. Frank Gordon, son of Governor
Gordon, of Georgia, has' contributed his
share toward the entertainment of the for
eign visitors. On Monday he took
small party of them on a yachting trip
through the upper and lower bay. Among
his guests were Secretary Jeans, of the
British Iron and Steel Association, and
Joseph Moore, who accompanies the dele
gation as special correspondent of the
London Times.
Monday afternoou might almost have
been called the Southerners’ day in New
York’s Central Park, so many people from
the South were driving in the mall or
strolling in the paths. Ex-Governor
James D. Porter, of Tennessee; the Rev.
Dr. J. L. M. Curry, of Richmond; Gen.
W. J. Behan, of New Orleans, and J. G. E.
Pitkin, of the same city, were seen there
among others. The Hon. Mr. Pitkin is
the United States minister to the Argen
tine Republic. He is in America on a
short leave of absence, and left for Wash
ington yesterday. Mr. and Mrs. James B.
Stratton, of Natchez, Miss.; Mr. and Mrs.
Charles G. Elliott, of Norfolk, and Mrs.
Huger, of Mobile, were in the returning
stream of carriages at sunset. It has been
a long time since Central Park has looked
so beautiful at the end of September as it
does this year. The frequent rains have
kept the grass and trees fresh and green
almost with the vivid green of early sum
mer. Southerners visiting New York
should avoid the month of Sep
tember. From the first to the mid
dle we have some of the fiercest
heat of summer and from then on comes
the equinoctial rains, which are violent
and long continued and tiaturally conceal
Whatever natural charm the city’s sur
roundings possess. Of these come subur
ban places to the north of the metropolis,
neglected during the innings of Coney Is
land are now having their turn. One such
place is White Plains, where the West
chester county fair is now in progress. It
is attracting crowds of visitors who see a
strange exhibition, composed partly, of
what from time immemorial has consti
tuted a “County Fair” and partly of ur
ban innovation. Westchester county is
too near New York to escape sophistication
and the country people are the first ones to
scorn big pumpkins and marvelous
patched quilts. The city visitors, on the
other hand, enjoy looking at them, and
the trains daily carry great loads to White
Plains. The day we were there we saw
Mayor Glenn, of Atlanta, S. S. Broadus,
of Florence, Ala., and J. T. Witherspoon,
of New Orleans.
Mr. Hill Preston and wife arrived by
the Servia on Monday. Their season
abroad, and particularly in London,- has
been delightful. They have been received
with great hospitality by new friends, and
at various houses they encountered many
old friends, like themselves, enjoying the
life of “Our Old Home.” At the dock
Mr. and Mrs. Preston were met by Mr. W.
R. Stauffer, of New Orleans, who escorted
them to the New York Hotel. At the
latter house preparations are making for a
german to be given next week.” The
favors are predicted to be something quite
novel, and a good deal of interest is taken
in this “first” of the season. Mrs. J. M.
Parker, Mrs. A. Britton, both of New Or
leans, will preside at the favor-table, while
among other Southern girls who will
dance will be Miss Rosine Britton, of New
Orleans, and Miss Mamie Parker, of
Charleston, and Miss Mannie Brigham, of
Savannah.
