12 ENQUIRER-SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 21, 1890. BAB’S BRIGHT BABBLE. A CLEVER WOMAN’S PEN PICTURE OF BRIGHTES T NE W YORK LIFE. WHAT IB TDK FASHIONABLE DOG?—A “SECOND HAND” LADT — DESTI NIES TOLD IN WOMEN’S NAMES. MEN AS SCANDAL-MONGEBS. CHRISTMAS GIFT8. New Yoke December 18.—[Special.]— Ot all the funny questions that have ever <oouie to me the funniest is this, “What is d;he fashionable dog?” Now, my dear un- mnknown friend, you might just as well talk of there being a fashion in babies as in dogs. Everybody who possesses a dog thinks it the very acme of style, and the average dog, nine times out of ten, is so •desperately stuck on himself that he thinks fee is the one dog in the universe worth possessing. He regards himself as the sole and only dog who has chic, and whether his tail be long or short, he wags it whenever he sees a looking-glass, in ap probation of the reflection therein. 1 have aiever had any doubt as to the stylish dog. Tj me he has always been a fox terrier who with all his faults 1 am forced to love always and ever. woman's MOST STYLISH DOG. A fox terrier has a way that can only be described as “jumpy;” if he is inclined to be affectionate, instead of walking up to you delicately and asking the favor of a kiss, injdog language, h» makes a spring from the door to the chair on which you happen to be sitting,lands on a delicate part of your anatomy, nine times out of ten and then proceeds to cover your face with rather moist kisses. If you are in bed, and especially if you are a victim to an ol J- fashioned stomach ache, and he is permit ted to enter, he would die if he didn't sit just where the pains were and look at you all the time as much as to say, “I never eat silly things that make me sick. I never sit up too late at night, or get op too early in the morning. I never work iny brain so that my head aches. Oh, no, I'm not such a fool as yon are!” These are a few of the capabilities of a fox ter rier. He is beauteous to look upon, but requires as much careful grooming as a man about town. Consequently I think he must be the most stylish dog. THE STORY OF A DOG. I know a lovely story about a dog, and I must relieve iny mind by telling it. He lived in Loudon aud liis name was Char ley, and he was the most all-around ador able setter you ever saw. He was in the habit of toddling around with bis master every place; now his master was rather a guy old bird, and Charley was well known at the race tracks, the club houses, and the uuinerons places where his master's hansom was seen driving up. One day ■Charley and his master went to the races. When they got to the gate there was a great crowd and the master entered think ing Charley was following him, for the hansom had been sent home, as the gen tleman was going back to towu with friends. Charley waited outside the gate for along, long time; the races were over, the people went home, and nobody was left but a few bobbies and three or four hansoms. adog’s way of “getting there.” They tried to make up to Charley, but he refused; he walked along and looked at every hansom, selected the best, jumped In, seated himself and refused to get out. All the persuasion in the world had no ef fect on him. At last the driver, out of cu riosity, took hold of him by the collar and looked at it. On it was liis master’s same and club address. Being a clever chap he jumped up on the box, drove to town >to the club and stopped. Charlev made one leap from the hansom to the club steps, wdere he was let in by the door keeper, who knew him well. The hansom man was promptly paid his fare, and Charley, once more at home, was greeted joyfully by his mas ter, who had just missed him, anl cheered enthusiastically by the club for doing what any well-bred man would do under the circumstances. Today Charley is a resident of New York. That blissful dog, who rejoices, by the by, in the most lovely white shirt front you ever saw, came to pay me and my Chum a visit, and I can assure you that if he had expressed the slightest desire to eat either of us he might Lave done it. As it was he had tea to drink, cakes to eat, and three rapturously pretty women (I am not including myself in this party) to adore him. This is a true story. a “second-hand” lady. Dil you ever send for a second-hand lady to come to you? I don’t mean that she was a second hand lady exactly, but a lady who dealt in second-hand clothes. Well, she sent me a card, and underneath her name, strongly suggestive of Judea, was written and underlined ‘ ‘From Paris.” And that fetched me. I sent for her. She arrived before I was sip, and while stie was waiting I grew so •economical I only took one lump of sugar in my coffee. Then when she came in at,nd saw the huge pile of clothes, most of them things that I ought to be wearing, awaiting her, and the proud air on my face, she looked at me and said, rather •coutemptuously, that she didn’t think raiuch of them. I never saw anybody who bad such a snifty way in my life. A Fe lix coat she tossed by with scorn, an eve ning gown that was as good as uew she looked at with indifference, while other ■belongings she lumped with an air of de cision. Theu she said that she would give ** .50 for the whole lot and I TOLD HEB TO GO HOME. She said a great many ladies, real ladies, were willing to sell as many clothes as that for the price of a pair of gloves, and I told her 1 didn’t need a pair of gloves. Then I risked my reputation as a real lady and, standing up in the majesty of an un curled bang, a crimson Japanese dressing gown, a pair of white Turkish slippers, and a heart on my neck marked “To a good giri,” 1 told that old woman to go. and if she didn’t go I would get a District Messenger boy to put her out. She went and I sat down and cried; and I said to myself, “Bab, you are the most consum mate idiot in the world. What do you want doing with second-hand people? Do as yon have always done, give your things away to first-hand people, and have the pleasure of hearing somebody saying thank you for them. The only thing 1 can say in extenuation of you, Bab, is that it is your first, and please gracious, it will be your only experience with ladies who buy duds.” DESTINIES TOLD IN WOMEN'S NAMES. Some women were talking the other nigVit about the influence of names, and they claimed that when yon named a child, especially a girl child, you simply made it for life; that a blonde baby chris tened “Julia” would turn dark and grow tall and dignified-looking and couldn’t help it. That Florence was as certain to be blonde and to have an inclination to play dreamy music as Charlotte was to be an energetic housekeeper; that Fanny couldn’t help being frivolous and flirty, and that Katharine, with all her pretty diminutives, always made people fall in love with her, especially men people; that Mand and Cora would go to the “demni- tion bowwows” without any volition on their part, and that Ida and Blanche were pretty certain to get there in time. That Mabel was apt to be a little frigid, and Margaret had a weakness for being blonde both in appearance and temper. That Emily had a good strong will of her own and was apt to have gray eyes, and that Evelyn, well, there seemed to be a general feeling that Evelyn was inclined to be a bit of a liar. Everybody’s mother seemed to be named Mary, and every woman at some time or another seemed to have a friend, who was very loyal, named either Frances, Edith or Helen. That Gladys was a pretty name for a girl as long as she was just a girl, but that it lacked dignity when she became a woman. That Louise had thin lips, was apt to be very decided in her views, and that Josephine was wheedling. All the diminutives of Mary were approved of and Dorothy was given a high place of honor as being aris tocratic. Something was said about Bar bara, and one woman, without much sense said she thought it was like a knife that cut, but another one, with a gryat deal of sense said that a knife was as apt to defend you as cut you This is what three women said about women's names. MEN AS SCANDAL MONGERS. Who does the most gossiping in this world, men or women? Well, there, I haven’t used the right word. Gossip, pure and simple, is harmless, and really means chatting about gowns and belongings, people and things in a kindly, if a frivolous w'ay. But who talks the most scandal? Men, my dear, men. It’s my private opinion that if any wicked scandal were followed up to the place from which it emanated, any wicked, malicious rumor, it would be found that a man was at the bottom of it. A man who was disliked by the woman against whom he talked. Women say nasty, tantalizing, abominable little things just as small dogs snap at you and think they are doing no end of harm, but men—well, men don’t hesitate to tell great big tarididdles that are like the bites of bull-dogs, go in deep and leave j a scar. A WOMAN’S MOTTO FOR MEN. Most of us hear unpleasant things of ourselves;our friends are courteous enough al ways to let us know of the unkind word and most of us, being what the world calls supersensitive, shed bitter tears, tears that hurt the heart as weil as the eyes,over the yelping of mongrel dogs, and then we get up aud realize that it would be a gfeat deal wiser if we could be great enough to scorn these things. But you see we can’t, we are women, and the un kind word hurts much more many times than does the unkind deed. Iu that wise book, the Talmud, there is o le sentence that I wish men would hive written, framed and hung on their walls, if is this: “Man, beware of making a woman shed tears; for every tear she sheds; God counts up against you.” THE SEASON TO BE RICH. But, there, what’s the use of thinking of these unpleasant things? They do exist, but so do toads and bats aud no end of ug’y things; while the shops are full of beautiful vanities, while the Christmas feeling is in the air, while the sun is shin ing, and there are lots of pretty women on the street, there is no earthly use in bothering about cads, who call themselves men, aud women who are only women as far as their sex is concerned and who are toads at heart. This is the only time of year when I envy the Rothschilds. Just fancy being able to buy all the Christmas gifts you want! Just fancy being able to give every human being that you know or don’t know, that you like or don’t like, something for Christmos day! For my own part I would be willing to be bank rupt for the rest of the year. However, there are a lot of things that you and I can give whether there is gold in the purse to buy them or not. Father’s ffsy. [To Wilson Barrett.) My father was no pessimist; he loved the things of earth— Its cheerfulness and sunshine, its music and its mirth: He never sighed or moped around whenever things went wrong— I warrant me he’d mocked at fate with some de fiant song. But, being he warnt much on tune, whenever times were blue, He’d whistle softly to himself this only tune he knew: Now mother, when she learned that tune which father whistled so. Would say: “There’s something wrong today with Ephraim, I know; He never tries to make believe he's happy that ere way But that I'm certain as can be some trouble is t« pay!” And so, betimes, quite natural like, to us observant youth There seemed suggestion in that tune of deep pa thetic truth. When Brother William joined the war a lot of ua went down To see the gallant soldier boys right gayly out of town; A-cornin’ home, poor mother cried as if her heart would break— And all us children, too—for hers, and not for William s sake! But father, trudgin’ on ahead, his hands behind him so, Kept whistlin' to himself, so sort •* solemn like ami low. And when my eldest sister Sue was married and went west. Seemed like it took the tuck right out of mother and the rest; She was the sunlight in our home—why, father used to say It wouldn't seem like home at all if Sue should go away! Yet when she went, a-leavin’ us all sorrow and ail tears. Poor father whistled lonesome like, and went to feed the steers. When crops were bad, and other ills befell our homely lot. He'd set around and try to act as if he minded not; And when came death and bore away the one he worshiped so. How vainly did his lips belie the heart benumbed with woe! You see the telltale whistle told a mood he’d not admit— ’ He’d always quit his whistlin’ when he thought we noticed it! I’d like to see that stooping form and hoary head again— To see the honest, hearty smile that cheered his fellow men; Oh, could I kiss the kindly lips that spake no creature wrong. And share the rapture of that heart, that over flowed with song: Oh, could I hear the little tune he whistled long ago, When he did battle with the griefs he would nol have us know. London, Oct. 28, 1800. —Eugene Field. CHRISTMAS GIFTS WITHOUT MONEY. There are some things that money will not buy. • One of tnern is a Christmas greeting with a kiss of love to make it sweeter. One of them is a deal of affection and consideration. One of them is a memory of somebody afar off—a memory said either in a prayer or thought out when the Christmas chimes are ringing. One of them is a new belief in humanity —the belief that the world is, after all, not as black as it is painted, and that love and hope may go hand in hand and joy will be the result. One of them is a putting down of all the hard, unkind thoughts—a blotting out of the disagreables, and an intention to see only the beautiful things. One of them, and this is the best of all, is to resolve when you sing your Christ mas hymn to be good and kind and loving to all the little babies in the world—to all the little people, and then in that great future you will find that as “ye have done it unto the least of these ye have it unto Me.” Bab.

Let Christinas Stand for Pleasure. Christmas is the preacher who empha sizes the fact that the religion which it jelebrates is adapted to human nature. Horace is called the laureate of the worldly, of the epicurean, of the pagan who would eat and drink in view of to morrow. The gay adage dum vivimus is cited with a shudder as the gospel of pleasure. Christmas was hunted in the Puritan parliament as a kind of god of pleasure who was only a masked devil. It was confounded by Governor Brad ford with the Belly god. But why, said Charles Wesley, as he sweetly sang— why give all the good tunes to Satan: ! The sweet singer might haye enlarged his view and his question. Why give Satan any of the good things? Why, above all, let him have Christmas, as Andromeda was abandoned to the drag on of the sea? Let Christmas stand for pleasure and for the reasou that it is es pecially the Christian day. Then Chris tianity drops her weeds and smiles.— Harper’s. An Impostor Who Made Money. One of the men who made a fortune out of the Cardiff giant humbug nearly twenty years ago died in New York re cently. His name was George Hull. He was formerly a tobacconist in Bing hamton, and was the author of the fraud, which he engaged an Italian stonecutter of Chicago to carry out. A large gypsum slab was obtained in Iowa and cut into the form of a gigantic man. The stone was artificially colored, to give the appearance of great age, and then buried in the vicinity of Cardiff, where it was accidentally (of coursej discovered and exhumed, and exhibited about the country as a prehistoric figure. The imposition was so clever that many scientific men were deceived by it.— Chicago Herald.
