THE PET OF THE TIMES. A BEING THAT IS REGARDED WITH ENVY BY SOCIETY GIRLS. How the Young Man of Society Con trives to Look Pretty and Portly— The Dude Eclipsed—Will This Sort of Thing Lead to Riot Among the Girls. New York, Aug, HO.—The society lady is in most respects a work of art, hut the darling of all self-made curiosities is the average young man of society. His hair is more thoroughly bleached, his cheeks have a more artistic finish, his eyes and lips are a masterpiece of genre work executed with a bolder touch than the society belle has ever been able to compass. He wears corsets, plumpers, patent insteps, and all the uppli auees ever lists 1 to embellish nature or resist decay. Ho is, in short, regarded with envy and awe by nil the fashionable girls. It was my privilege recently to pass a night with one of these fellows, and I trust that my discoveries will interest the reader as much as they startled me. I had wondered at the hardihood of my young friend in going about on the coldest nights in a dress suit llitting through the draughty corridors of the Metropolitan Opera House without shivering or catching cold, but supposed that he hud accustomed himself to tho ex jinsure like the belles with tiieir bare arms and necks. I found, however, that he in cased himself iua tight-fitting suit of fine white flannel, or otherwise his delicate frame would have shaken like an aspen leaf in the sudden changes of temperature from tho auditorium to the corridors, not to say tho run across the street to imbibe. His hardi hood, worthy of an amphibian, was all make-believe. ft, ' Ti n~~ HOW IT IS DONE. On his disrobing I found his expanding chest and contracting waist and stalwart bearing was achieved by the use of a com bination brace, belt and chest protector. The chest protector, held in its place between the shoulders by the brace, keeping him el ect like a guardsman, was also connected below with a wide belt of several thick nesses of flannel, which wrapped several times around the body and confined by strings did not show in the contour while contracting his waist, which, measured with his chest, gave him the proportions of a gladiator. The high instep of which he was so proud was produced by several thick nesses of the leather in that part of the close fitting, peu-liko patent leathers, which were also provided witli false stiles and not the slippers they appeared to be. These revelations considerably surprised me, but a still greater surprise was in store in the morning, when I noticed that the rosy tints of health disappeared from his cheek mo mentarily as he performed his ablutions; for it immediately reappeared on the appli cation of a rouge puff, which he took from a toilet box I supposed contained tooth pow der. 1 was pleased to find that his teeth were not false; also that he did not wear a wig. Inquiring how he managed to keep his hair always the identical length so that there was never any indication that he ever went to the barber’s for cutting, he explained that every dav when he was shaved the burbot always clipped the growing hairs here and there as they apjieared. He found two lit tle hairs over his ear that had been neglect ed or overlooked by his barber that morn ing, and the discovery perceptibly worried him. He kept his clothes from creasing by carefully folding them on disrobing, ex plaining that the creases came in garments that way, and not \>hen distended on the body, excepting tho blistering of the trousers at the knee. I don’t believe there ever was a man, excepting possibly some old hayseed farmer, country editor or par son or granger politician, who has not open ly and inwardly cussed at the tendency of his trousers to blister or bag at the knees, and this part of the mysteries to lie eluci dated by my discovery interested me more than all the rest, I had intended to ask 1113' friend how it was ho always contrived that his t rousers retained the crease down the cen tre of newness, and was about conjecturing he sent them over night to a tailor to bo re pressed or used himself one of thoso patent appliances. Ho solved the problem agitat ing my mind by his actions. I noticed that before retiring he carefully folded his trousers tailor fashion in a way to produce the crease, and then carefully placed them between the mattresses of his bed. I sup posed ut tlie time he was doing this to stow away safely his money and jewels, but in tiie morning I found that the precaution had been token in order to press his trousers and restore the crease down the leg that al ways threw the appearance of newness. He achieved the smooth, jierfect fit of his im iflaculato shirt front by turning under an inch or so of the lower part of the bosom. His tall, dude collar was so stiff witli thick ness of the material and starch that it was a “choker” almost in reality, and must have held his slender neck a- in a vise. This rigid cellar could never have been adjusted to the ordinary button, and n patent one, ojiening and shutting, as it were, had to be used. His tie, which was an achievement of art and not dexterous manipulation, was held in its place by little patent clasps or clamps. Ho told me that he subjeted his finger nulls to a manicure once a week, and sometimes oftener, for shining. Laced and bound tin this fellow could undergo uny amount of unrefreshing fatigue, dancing and attudinizing in a badly ventilated und overcrowded parlor. “ jJ THE GENERAL EFFECT. And all the girls seemed is > enjoy his in nocent and ejaculatory prattle, hut whether it whs because lie was the lieii' of u sturdy old millionaire or because he was such a nice follow, J have not been aide to makeuD nry mind. He attributes the fact. I sliould nod, to the eifoct of his scarfs and neckties; volunteering the opinion that while ladies always dress to please one another, not be hoving that men nave any taste in regard to feminine dressing, they always judge a man hy his neckwear. Happy is he in Dls own conceit—and inherited dollars John u’Ajimk. LATE SUMMER AMUSEMENTS. Interesting Points Relating to Several Matters of Interest. New York, Aug. 30.—Whether it be in accordance with that natural law which governs the revolution of fashions in then orbits, bringing each into favor at fairly regular intervals, or whether it be that the new out-of-door life of women demands a progressive increase in the number of out of-door games, certain it is that the bow and arrow are feeling the impulse of a decided boom. Tennis has held its own through the summer, a few ladies’ cricket clubs have struggl'd into existence, croquet, after voars of neglect, has taken heart of grace, but nrchory,unless the signs of the times are very deceptive, will lie well up in the race for favor in the bracing days of the fall. Areh ®iy clubs are beginning to form at the sum mer resorts. Half a dozen have held their initial meetings within a few- weeks past, in the summer villages sprinkled through the Catskills. Tho stay-at-home folks sot up targets on cool afternoons in the parks, ami when the city begins to fill up again in Septomtor the racquet and the bow will join issue with each other. There is n groat deal to be said for archery as a game for men or women either. To plant an arrow in tho gold requires more skill than goes to make a champion tennis player, and yet the actual outlay of strength culled for is not so great but that the sexes compete with each other on prac tically equal terms. The archery enthusi ast has much to say of the developing in fluence of bow and arrow practice on the system and the steady increase in tho muscular power of the back and arms. That it trains the eve needs hardly to be said. Girls like target practice ns a matter of course, because of the chances of picturesque costuming which it offers. Tenuis clubs mat- dress as they like,but archers, above all things, must be redolent of the woods and wear the hunter’s green. A newly organ ized club of ton or a dozen 18-}-ear'-olds has adopted as its uniform a white serge short gown, with blouse waist, fnll skirt, green sash and quiver and green ribbons in the white hat. A second club, with an eye to the practical as well as pretty, has " been shooting for two or three weeks past in sil ver gray gowns with round sleeveless jack ets of green. A dainty individual costume, just finished by a city modiste, is of white mull, with sprays of green leaves embroid ered on tho wide hem, and green ribbon bows catching up the drapery here and there. Bettor adapted to service is a fawn colored cloth gown, with green shoulder knot and sash. The club device is embroid ered somewhere about the costume, and the club pin, if it has adopted one, fastens the sash. Men seldom wear a full club suit, but content themselves with plain dark coats bearing the club insignia and shooting hats. Two good rules for every archer to adopt are these: Get a good bow, no matter if it costs more at tho outset, and do not waste your strength trying to handle one that is toe heavy. I have seen a delicate girl plant six arrows in the gold in succession, using a bow of seventy pounds carrying force. But the standard for a man is only fifty-four l>ounds and a woman who is not an expert with the instrument, and who has not used herself to shooting every day, will do better to begin with about thirty pounds force and advance from that only as she finds that her skill and strength warrant. A necessary preliminary, with out which no woman ought to venture to call herself an archer,is to learn to string her own bow, holding it with the left hand with the bottom end against the inside of the left foot and bending it gradually till the string will slip into the notch. The niceties of target practice can be learned only by ex perience, but the rood to knowledge is a pleasant one and the archer travels it with out urging. CITY CHILDREN are apt to lie undersized. Thev strike me as microscopic frequently. Ask a country man, used to lads and lasses brought up on on the farm, the age of tho next boy he passes on the pavements, and, three chances in four, measuring the height and shoulder girth with his eye, he will put it two or three years lower than it is. The 14-years old doesn’t look above 11 years old to him, nor the 15-years-old as if he had entered his* teens. I got hold of some figures the other day which show that these things need not be as they are. Dr. Anderson, who is well known in connection with the physical Education As sociation, has compared the height and weight of 350 girls, pupils of a Brooklyn school whore regular gymnasium exercise is insist ed upon, with similar figures for 10,000 Bos ton school girls taken at random. The re sults are as follows: Height at 10 years. 11 12 13 14 15 With exercise.so.s7 58.28 50.82 00.86 81.50 62.80 Without 51.34 38.42 52.88 58.16 59.04 01.10 Weight. With exercise.fl2.2l 87.12 02.10 101.56 115.40 122.70 Without 62.35 68.84 78 U 88.U3 08,43 106.00 The figures show an average, in height at least, of two years difference, which is at tributable to no cause but education of the bod}- as well as of the mind. The near ap proach of the opening of the school year ought to make parents careful to have ati eye to muscles as well as text books. This is especially necessary in the case of girls, for the average boy will to some extent look out for himself in such matters. The possibility of u working women’s co operative hotel, conducted on common sense business principles and giving to self-depen dent women what such an institution might to give them—a chance of comfortable and hygienic living at low cost, but without loss of self-respect—is again under discussion. If Stewart's magnificent blunder should bo retrieved anil the plan which his executors bungled should l>e bettered, and put iuto exe cution by a woman, the wheels of time will have revolved to some effect. Women al ready owe a great deal to Mrs. Candace Wheeler. The scores of exchanges for wom en’s work throughout the country, have sprung up on the heels of the original estab lishment founded by her in New York. The Decorative Art Society and tho Society of Associated Artists have at once trained women to earn a livelihood and won respect for the nrt textiles of this country. The establishment of a successful co-operative hotel is the latest plan which Mrs. Wheeler has taken into consideration, and the chances arc that, bringing into it the same executive ability she lias shown in other schemes for the help of women, she will not fail. MIBB CHARLOTTE MORRILL, who has been spoken of in various quarters as a possible successor to Miss Freeman, as President of Wellesley, is Secretary of the Adclphi Academy, of Brooklyn, a prepara tory school of high standing. Miss Morrill is u fine-looking woman, witli a clear, healthy complexion, bright eyes and dark hair. Kho has a quick smile, is a brilliant talker, and is the personification of common sense and gi iod will. She is, 1 believe, a graduate of Mount Holyoke Seminary and has been actively engaged in educational work for years. A braid way of looking at things and a wholesome atmosphere she could not help carrying with her wherever she went. Miss Freeman, however, ought to succeed herself. Wellesley can’t spare her, married or single. There is a movement quietly on foot, though it will gain no great strength until afterthe r'turn of the summer people from the country, to urge the appointment of a larger number of women on the New York Boardof Education. Thegenerai apprecia tion of the work of Mi's Agnew and Miss Dodge hus led the sanguine to hope that a board unis-third of whose members shall lie of the sex feminine, is not a thing of the far distant future. The efforts of tho Ladies’ Committee brightened up the session of the American Association for the Advancement, of Hcience, wonderfully Mrs. Martha J. Lamb, the historian. Miss Winnifred Edgertoii, the re cipient of honors at Columbia, Mr*. E. G. Britton, thebotauist, Mm. Holden, of Michi gan I,'nl versity ,and other women were prom inent figures iu the session*, and tin- pa Srs presented by women were fully up to e mark of interest and value. THE MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY, AUGUST 21, 1887, THE REAL OLD-TIME CHATELAINE was a pretty thing, and did not deserve to be caricatured by the jingling armament which the summer girl calls l>y its name this season. With every step she takes bon bon box clatters against vinaigrette, purse clashes upon tablets, the dangling fan swings this way and that, and a hardware dealer’s collection of chains, by which the various articles of personal property are suspended clanks till the listener fancies a half dozen eonvidts have broken loose. The chatelaine of a century ago has a belt orna ment of antique silver, whose simple hand finish, rough and quaint as it is, never fails to please the eye. From this hang the small old-fashioned scissors, the fat little pin cush ion and tlie housewife's keys, articles which it did require fatiguing brain effort to find an excuse for carrying. The old-time chate laine belonged to the house and not to the promenade. In these yachting days tho tailors are busy with orders for sea cloaks, as they are called. These garments, of which every trial of speed between the giant sloops has brought out a bevy, are made of soft, loosely woven woolens. They have loose froute held by a girdle with a silver clasp, while the linek is adjusted in long plaits. A big sea hood is ready to lie drawn over the hair if a fogdrifts in. The usual color isa gray blue lined with dark blue silk. The cloak is a voluminous one and covers its wearer from head to heel. E. P. H. GREEK LETTER SOCIETIES. The Ones Which Find Favor in Colleges for Girls. New York, Aug. 30. —When theaspiring freshman has passed his entrance examina tion the first university honor that he craves is an election to one of the college fraterni ties. If he is a Bostonian, his father, his brother or his cousin before him belonged to Psi U.; if he is a Providence man his chums are reckoned in with Zeta Psi; if he is a New Yorker he affiliates naturally with Beta Theta l’i, Delta Kapjwt Epsilon, Chi Phi or Chi Psi. In some of the younger Western institutions tho Greek letter society, bring ing its monitors as it does into relations with the oldest and richest colleges in the country, must seem at times more powerful almost than Alma Mater herself; certainly by students and alumni it is often better be loved. There are thirty-three such frater nities at present existing among the men of the American colleges. The chapter houses are not infrequently among the finest buildings on the campus. Each society, as a rule, has its badge, which is conspicuously worn, its publications, its songs, its ban quets and its conventions. That a similar state of affairs is growing up in the women’s colleges, that girls’ Grrek letter fraternities not only exist, but are multiplying, is a fact not so generally known. From an a priori point of view there is no reason why the fraternity idea should not commend itself to girl students and many reason* why it naturally would. For one thing the men’s societies in a coeducational college exclude the women students. The locked door of the fraternity rooms is a per petual challenge to retaliation. That talk of initiation ordeals, hints of passwords, mottoes, grips ami recognition signs should be as it were in the air around them, tokens of mysteries always to-tantnlize them, never to to revealed, would rouse emulation in a more passive creature than the average college girl. It was, as a matter of course, in the colleges which admit men and women I *)t,h thal the women’s Greek letter societies originated, and it is in them thut the sister hoods have chiefly flourished. Repeated efforts have been made to establish a chapter of this order or that at Vassar, but no fledgling has ever proved strong enough to withstand tho faculty’s frown. Wellesley has bad secret societies at one time and another, but they have never proved permanent institutions. The new women’s college at Bryn Mawr has a local society which may or may not gather strength with age. Cornell, Syracuse University, Boston University, St. Lawrence in the northern part of this state, Ann Arbor, Kansas University, Northwestern University and the host of Western co educational schools are the homes of the women's Greek letter societies. No one of those organizations is old enough—the senior society reckons barely seventeen years—to count any large number of prominent alumnae, but several have a creditable list of women who are known and more who are doing good work, though they may not be before the public. Tlie rmmtor of sororities at present organized with princi ples and methods akin to the Greek letter fraternities is seven. About fifty active chapters are known, and a conservative estimate of the membership would put it between 2,000 and 3,000. The oldest society is Kapi>a Alpha Theta, star teil at As bury’ University, now De Pauw University, Grceneastle, Inil., Jnn. 27, 1870. Tho largest society is Kappa Kappa Gamma, which has nineteen chapters and whoso membership is something above a thousand. The richest society is probably Alpha Phi, whose Alpha Chapter at Syracuse University has erected this year a beautiful chapter house, the only building of the sort, so far as the writer is aware, thus far owned by any of the ladies’ societies. Among tho regular members of the sororities Kappa Alpha Theta has upon its books President Alice Freeman, just re signed from Wellesley College, who was initiated into Eta t during her student life at, Ann Arbor: Miss Kat bnriue. Coman, Professor of History at the same school, and other wmuen holding high positions at De Pauw l"iivarsity and lowa Wesleyan. Mrs. Mary A. Livermore and Mrs. Juiia Ward Howe have accepted honor ary membership in Kappa Kappa Gamma, and the former at, leant wears sometimes the badge of the order, a unique and pretty jeweled key. ilrs. Rutherford B. Hayes also belongs to the Kappas. Miss Frances E. Willard, well known in temperance circles, belongs to Alpha Phi. The women’s societies by name, furnished me by Mr. William Raymond Baird, whose took upon college fraternities, anew edition of which is now in preparation, is the main authority on the subject, are us follows: .Sigma Kappa was organized at Colby University in 1874. It has hut one chapter. Alpha Beta Tau has two chapters, one at tho Mississippi State University, tlie other at the Oxford, Miss,, Female Institute. Alpha Phi, though it has but three chap ters, isoneof tlie strongest of the fraternities, being very securely entrenched at Syracuse University, where it was founded in 1872. It lias some weathy women among its alumnae who have tho interests of Chapter Alpha, now numbering perhaps 150 mem tors, at heart. Beta chapter is at the Northwestern University, Evanston, 111., and Eta Chapter has been placed at Boston University. The badge is a jeweled mono gram and the colors silver-giay and Bor deaux. Delta Gam iua has ten active and two inactive chapters, all in the West and South. It is a rapidly growing fraternity and holds biennial conventions. The badge is a golden anchor and the organ of the society is a quarterly magazine called the Delta Gamma Anehora. A chapter was maintained at St. Lawrence University. Canton, N. Y., until recently. Gamma l’hi Beta lias three chapters. It was founded ut Syracuse University in 1874 and Bishop Haven gave it its motto. Its other chapters are at Ann Arbor and Northwestern Uni versity. Its budge in a gold monogram and its colors light and dark blown. Kappa Alpha Theta and Kupjia Kappa Gamma, founded in the same year and already referred to as the oldest and largest, respectively, of the women’s fraternities, liave long toon rivals. Tile plunting of Eta Chapter oy the senior society at Ann Arlsir, the lu st feminine amociadon to get a foot hold iu that University, was considered u great acquisition. The society now lips eleven chapters, lota at Cornell, Xi at Wesleyan and Lambda at the University of Vermont giving it a strong Eastern wing. The most Western chapter is at Lawrence, Kan. The fraternity publishes a magazine and a song took. Kappa Kappa Gamma is lie most fully organized of Hie women’,. Greek letter societies. Founded ut Mpnmuuth College, 111.. October 13, 187 U. the anniversary of that day is generally celebrated by the chapters'. It is now represented in the East at Boston University, St. Lawrence University, Syracuse University, Cornell and Wooster 'Universities, these five chap ter* constituting Alpha Province. Beta Province includes six chapters, placed ut Indiana University. De Pauw, Butler Uni versity, Hillsdale College and Wisconsin University. Gamma Province lias eight chapters, at Illinois Wesleyan, Northwest ern, Minnesota, lowa, Kansas, Nebraska and Missouri Universities and Simpson College. Tho governing power is vested in a Grand Council, with a representative from each province, which manages the fraternity in the interim between tlie biennial conventions. Tim last geueral convention was held at Akron, Ohio, and tho next is to be at Min nesota University. Province conventions are also held. The fraternity publishes The Keg, a quarterly magazine, averaging 146 pages, which is edited by the Boston chapter, and was the first journal published by a women’s fraternity. The Kappa girls have also published a small song i>ook and have a larger one, after the fashion of the “Carolina Collogensia,” in preparation. Light and dark blue are the society colors. Kappa girls are very loyal to their society and believe in its future. Alumnae chap ters are forming and will apply at the next convention for charters. One of the largest of the college societies managed by women is not a Greek letter society. TheC. I. Sorosis, with headquarters at Kansas University has twenty five chapters in the West and publishes a jour nal called The Arrow. The growth of the girls’ societies has been very rapid during the past two years, and inasmuch as the secrecy of any Grrek letter society, whether managed by men or women, consists mainly in the two facts that it refuses to divulge the meaning of the crooked characters borne on its seal, and holds very innocent meetings with looked doors, no domestic or other revolution is to to appreheuded from their prosperity. Eliza Putnam Heaton. MISS LILLIAN SMITH. How the Beautiful Wild Weat Rifle Shot Got Married. Tho London Topical Times says: All visitors to the “Wild West” aro acquainted with this remarkable young lady. She and Miss Annie Oakley carry the palm between them (us “shootists.” Miss Smith is of me dium height, as plump as a partridge, and as good-natured as she is brisk in her merry prattle. “Now, Miss Smith,” I remarked, “when I say the word ‘GoI’ will you just start off and tell me ns much about yourself as you would care to let the public know?” “Certainly;the public can know all about me that it wants.’’ “Very well. Are you ready? Go!” “Well, I guess you know I’m married?” “I guess I do, aiid that Jim Kid is tho hap py possessor of a charming and talented lit tle wife.” “Get along! Shall I tell you how I got married?” “Yes, I should like to know all about it.” “Well, in the first place, my parents were very much averse to my receiving any atten tion from the opposite sex; they said I was very much too young. I didn't think so. You see, since my birth I had always asso ciated with my elders; I never had any children playmates, so I suppose I may con sider myself prematurely old. Well, now. I’ll just take you into my confidence. My mother was determined I should not marry any one, and my father seemed to have taken a decided aversion to ‘my Jim.’ Thoy tried everything to prevent my seeing him, and I used to worry myself to death about it. This was at V.rustina, Staten Island, New York, last August. But I soon hit upon a plan. I suddenly developed a mania for ice creams, which were sold in camp, right below the line of tents, and I used to to al ways down there eating them. Jim’s tent was down at that end, and when my father and mothre thought I was filling up and making myself ill with creams I used to drop them like a shot when they were not looking and pop into Jim’6 tent and have a quiet flirtation. Jim had a toy scout al ways on the watch, and when mother or father was coming down the walk he would give a whistle, and I would dive into the ice cream shanty again. This sort of thing went on until Sept. 37, when we mode up our minds something had to to done. All the camp knew that I was dead in love with Jim, ana he with mo. My parents wouldn't listen to anything Jim bad to say, so we had to decide for ourselves. Well, on this night 1 got a lady friend to come and stay with mo, and it was arranged that the mar riage should take place the next morning. Buck Taylor had his tent moved in the op posite direction to mine,and constituted him self muster of tho ceremonies. You will see what he had his tent moved for. Well, the next morning, the 28th—I shall never for get it—as we were going to breakfast, my father caught me talking to Jim, which nearly sent, him mod; ho got into a terrible rage and forbid me ever speaking to Jim again. This was very funny, you will ad mit, considering we were just on the point of getting married. As to Jim, my father said he would shoot him with a shotgun if ho ever caught us together again. Only fancy; and this hardly an hour before he was going to take me for totter or worse.? Tilings were getting very uncomfortable, when Buck Taylor strolled up and asked me to come and look at the nice way in which he hail fixed up his tent. Father lot me go, anil when we got there we found Jim and all the cowboys assembled, with the Justice in the middle of them, and he married us straightaway. Just think, it was all over in n minute! We don’t waste much time on the other side do wo? “I went hack to my parents and never said a word. Jim made himself scarce. I meant to let them find it out for themselves, and so they did, for the papers got hold of it, and the first thing I saw my father .reading tho next day was‘A Marriage ill Camp.’ There was a scene, you tot. My mother said she would kill herself if it were true, and my father promptly whisked me 200 inilesaway from New York and put me in solitary con finement, where I remained for weeks. Eventually I got permission to go out one day to buy some ribbons, and 1 ut once took the opportunity of jumping on the cars. After about fifty miles or the Journey was done, a policeman came looking into (ill the ears. My parents lmd telegraphed to stop me. Fortunately a gentleman, who subse quently turned out to to a friend of Jim's— and, strange to soy, knew mo, but I didn’t know him—got hold of the policeman and told him he would point out Lillian Smith; and when he came to me lie told the police man that I was not a bit like her, *0 he never oven asked iny name. I was glad when I got to New York, I can tell you, I wont st raight awuy and joined my husband. This was Nov. 22, 1838, and I was married Kept. 23. Quite a lung time back, wasn’t it? When we left for England a reconciliation was effected with my parents, and we are all very happy now. You know there is an old saying. ‘Marry in haste, rejmiit at leisure.’ Old sayings are not always true, and I have proved this one to to so, for 1 would not part with my Jim for any thing.” “Quite a romantic story.” “Yes; is it not? But, say I’m so glad I came to England; I wouldn't have missed it for anything. lam awfully in love with the English people, who are so kind and nice?” Mother's Hmlles are the Sunlight of Home.
