Sew York, Oct. 3.—How many of the
women on the stage look pretty off it? And
when I sav pretty, I do not mean what they
call picturesque; I don’t mean a careless
ness th it is supposed to lie jaunty; but Ido
mean the result of a well-fitting frock, a hat
In unison with it, gloves that harmonize,
ant pocket handkerchiefs sizeable enough
to hold all the tears shed by the women who
are ignorant of the nrt of dress,
actresses off the stage.
There are women oa the stage who look
most charming, who off it look most dia
bolical. Ada ltehan, who is usually well
gowned when she is delighting the clientele
at Daly’s, is one of the dowdiest looking
women off the stags I have ever seen in my
life. Her clothes look as it they had boon
put on her with inns, and not those that are
called safety pins. Mrs. Jatnei Brown-Pot
ter is another woman who looks untidy off
the stage, and so is Ellen Terry. Ellon
Terry’s clothes may be made by Liberty,
and of his most rare materials, but the
great actress ht-r.-elf looks dowdy, and seems
to have a rather limited idea of the great
value of soap.
SARAH BERNHARDT LOOKS
a? if she put on her clothes in a burry, but
her own personality is so strong that the
clothes immediately adapt themselves to
her, and she looks just as sho ought. The
long cloaks that she fancies, the thick,
heavy boas, the big hat, bent to form a
brim over those curious eyes seem exactly
what one would expect from Mine. Sarah.
Of the stage Mis. Kendal is trig as po9siblo
ia a blue serge gown and a good-sized
round but, that she insists shall he
suited to her age, for sho objects
to combining mint sauce with mutton. .Miss
Cameron, who is going to marry Mr. Mans
field, is decidedly dowdy-looking, and does
DOtsuggest that she has any acquaintance
h mover with the clasps of the corset Marie
Burroughs is a well-dressed woman on the
street; so is Georgia Cay van. Sadie Mar
tino: looks as though her gown was made
in Paris, und sho has that pretty little
Parisian air of being afraid of being quite
alone on the ordinary everyday brick.
LILLIAN RUSSELL DRESSES WELL
and quietly; her most beautiful gowns
being kept for her afternoons at homo,
when she looks os pretty as the proverbial
picture in what is really a veritable house
dress. Johnstone-Bennett is probably the
bast dressed of all the actresses. Her clothes
l/'fir the stamp of a London tailor, and I
would as soon think of seeing a crinkle in
her cnat as I would a bit of nasty rouge ou
her clear, clean face. That is one of her
charms, you know. There are

MRS. KENDAL’S MAGNETIC PERSONNEL.
Next, and in another way, Is Madge Ken
dal. Mrs. Kendal make3 you believe that
m this world there is an immense lot of
goodness. She has some of it. Shs is full
ot happiness; she is overflowing with love,
and you are going to have some of it. She
moves her hand, and without ever saying a
word, without even looking at it, that hand
tells it all. Never in mv life knew I a
woman who could tell so much with such
beautiful hands, or who c uid love so much
with such quiet eyes. No matter what she
plays, her audiences are herown. She rules
them. What is it? There have been actresses
before. It is the same old story, and we
have no other word for it, and we will
never find a better one.
ACTRESSES .WHO HOLD YOU.
Now, just take an American actress. Do
you remember in ‘-The Charity Ball,” when
Georgia Cav van lifted up the sister who had
erred and gave her words of courage and
belief; told her how one woman should be
lieve in another, how one woman could for
give another, it was a time in her life when
Misi Cayvan was great. It was a time in
her life when she held not the women—oh,
dear, no, it was too fine for that—but the
men, in the nudienoo, and that was tho time
that the much-talked-of personal mag
netism made itself felt. Agnes Booth
is a good actress, a marvel
ously good actress. Did you ever read
a good book, a book of perfect English, a
book with a perfect plot, where the people
never did or said ill-bred things, where even
the villain conducted himself as a gentle
manly villain should? How did you like
the book when you had finished? Didn’t
you wish there had been a little mistake
somewhere? Didn’t you wish lhere had
been a little of human nature? Somebody
had stumbled. Somebody had lost their
book of etiquette and Ollendorff Now,
that’s the way Agnes Booth always
affects mo O, she is all
right, she aes her work beautifully,
she doesn’t dre.-s well, though her clothes,
cost a great deal. But that girl Johnstone-
Bennett beiide her, see which one will hold
you? The girl of 2d gives you a very strong
sense of being, very much liked, mid mak
ing her audience conscious uf tho fact that
they are, too, and only the woman who c an
do that is the woman who can lay claim to
the much-discussed badly named personal
magnetism.
ACTRESSES WHO CONTROL BY BEAUTY.
There are woAen cn the stage who oou
troi an audience by absolute physical beau
ty; who gladden it by the way they walk,
by the way they sit, and hy the way they
manage their arms. Lillie Langtry can
certainly do this as no other woman can,
and she does it because it is as natural to
her as it is to the flower she is named after
to grow gracefully. She could no more help
playing the part of a gentlewoman than
she cpuld help breathing, and sho could no
more help being lovely than one of those
great, deep, dark, sweet-smelling Russian
violets can help making a whole room
obarming. That I call physical magnetism.
Lillian Russell has it, Lettie Lind has it,
and so, curiously enough, has Aimle
O’Keefe, who would not be called a beauti
ful woman, and yet who impresses you as
one. Marie Tempest has it—has it, not
after the fashion qf Langtry, but after the
fashion of ft little Dresden shephe;dess who
has tumbled off the mantel shelf; who hasn’t
broken, and who has concluded to live for a
little while and to lead a regiment and sing,
“Steady, Boys, Steady,” and I tell you it is
a pretty' hard thing for the boys to keep
steady when she sings It.
HANDSOME MEN ARE UNITS.
Handsome men are blots on the face of
the universe. Men have no right to be
handsome. It is the right of a woman, and
of a woman only, and when a man is steal
ing good looks from somebody he ought to
be branded as a thief, wear a striped suit,
be put in a penitentiary. He wants to look
like a man, and not like a doll-baby. I
never saw a handsome man yet who hadn’t
the desire to make a bonnet, and when a
man comes to making bonnets it is time ho
had a little ha les of his own made for him,
where he could have “a real good, a real
nice time, like all the rest of the other girls.”
Consequently, I say nothing about the men
who attract physically.
WOMEN WITH PHYSICAL ATTRACTIONS.
The greatest and the rarest attraction of
all is the mental one. Many women possess
this, who also have the charm of physical
attraction. Sarah Bernhardt, has it, Lisa
Weber had it, Hachel had it, Fanny Daven
port has it. Mrs. Bernard-Beere has it,
and I think Mrs. Leslie Carter has it. It
may belong to the woman who
ful, to the one who is ugly,to the one who is
fascinating, and sometimes it belongs to the
women who has no other charms, but it is
stronger than all the rest put together.
Now, work out all my attractions and see
WHAT YOU LIKE THE BEST.
I hope it is not the baby attraction that
comei ou in a short blue skirt, laid in ac
cordion plaits, with a bat on tied down
with blue strings, palo blue silk stockings,
pale blue satin slippers, w th extremely high
heels, a: and bir gs in a regular music hall
voice, the kind you hear on the other side
of tho river in London:
George, George, tell me if you love me,
George, do you love me still?
Unless you kiss me twice in the very same
place, ,
I will go myself to kill, I will,
and so on. This type is not well known iu
this country. When it is, it w ill take. It
will take with the young man who wears a
spotted waistcoat, whose trousers speak a
little too loudly, and coat—well, it’s a sort
of coat that if he were putting on his riding
habit, he would swear Boole made it, and
he would go straight to his Satanic majesty,
because Psole never saw that coat, aid he
would have been horrified if he had been
introduced to it.
WHEN WOMAN MEETS WOMAN.
By-the-bv, isn’t this matter of introduc
ing people verv nonse: sicul? 1 meet Mis.
T m at a recaption, and Mrs. Dick rushes
up and savs: “Ob, Mrs. Harry, I must in
troduce you to Mrs. Dick, I am sure you
will like each other,” and Mrs. Dick looks
at me. and I look at her, and we each won
der who our dressmakers are, and then wo
conclude that the woman cannot really go
in the set, and that woman concludes that
we ready cannot go in the set, and we each
put up our lorgnettes, and say something
about the weather being very disagreeable,
and, “really, I must go to Nice as soon as
possible,” and 1 go and ask a man if he
would mind calling that woman a cad, with
a largo and before it, and she g es and asks
.Mrs. Tom ” whatevor she Introduced her to
that beast for.” That is one style of intro
duction.

A TASTS OF GAMBLING.
How a New York Man Experienced
a Sale Sensation.
New York, Oct. 3. —The other day.
when Deacon White failed apd Wall street
was in an uprovr, a New York man tilted
back his chair and said to another man:
“Did you ever know that I was once
taken with the speculative fever ?”.
“No, I didn’t,” said his friend.
“Well, I once had it bad. I studied the
situation, scrutinized cause and effect in the
progress of affairs in the street, and I came
to the conclusion that I had a natural fac
ulty for successful speculation. Mind you,
I had never bought a share of anything in
my life. But I figured it out that there was
a philosophy iu these things, and that the
man who has ihe gift for mastering this
philosophy', regardless of any mere facility
in detail, is the man who wins. All this 1
reasoned out. Yet I am a eantious tnan, and
I bethought me that perhaps it would be
best 10 feel mv way, to experiment a' first
before actually placing myself in a position
to lose anything more than a little titno.”
“How e >uld you do that?”
“I’ll tell you. I mentally went into l.he
market. 1 surveyed the field at close qua -
ters aud bought as my judgment dictated.”
“Do you mean?”
"No. I don’t mean that I actually span t
any money. I simply imagined tho pur
chase, you understand It wont no further
than my books, for I opened an account in
these imaginary purchases. Then I held or
sold as my judgment dictated. 1 risked some
pretty heavy "longs’ and tackled "shorts’
with a boluness which my confidence ntid
my actual financial safety helped me to
use. I held ou or sold in pursuance to the
philosophy of speculation as I had reasoned
it ont. It was exciting, I can tell you. even
if I had no dollars planked down on the
gamble. 1 kept this up for a year. At the
end of that time I sat down to iny accounts
to figure out where I would be if, instea i of
imaginary speculations, I had actually
been risking my money in real traffic on
’Change.”
“And. of cours’, you found that you
oould have made big stakes if you had
onlv”
“I found nothing of tho kind. I found
that I would have been hopelessly ruined
three times over. You may bo sure that I
congratulated myself on my caution, if I
could not be as flattering to my speculative
sagacity. I was a wiser, without having to
Do a much sadder, man. Taero is a philoso
phy in this incident, aud I think it would
boa mighty good thing if some men who
plunge into Wall street without having in
ary way tested their capacity for the pe
culiar kind of warfare carried on there
Could be induced to try'a li.tle speculation
on paper. Believe mo, it is a superstition
that imaginary speculations always succeed.
It is not all luck; it is science; and being
science, skill will determine thu result every
time. 1 didn’t have the genuine skill ad l
didn’t succeed. I think 1 have taken the
moral duly to heart.”
DO YOU TREAT ?
It may be well confessed that the anti
treating movement, so far as New Y'ork is
concerned, is a complete fuiiure.
The movement started out with a certain
lusty aggressiveness. Nobody was to treat
anybody to anything. Primarily ntibody
was to treat anybody to anything" to drink:
for, Baid the author of the propaganda with
a wisdom no cue theoretically ques ions, to
treat to drinks is to presume on a similar
privilege and obligation in all the treated,
and tiie result will be that a man who
wishes, or at least needs but one, drink will
take six or eight, according to the number
in the treated group. It is possible that
some people may have tried to introduce the
now every-m in-far-himself principle iu
drinking. But the actual instances
bnvo never been satisfactorily located A
strain of ambition to be thought well of,
not to mention a strain of natural coward
ice, in every mao, has made it a practical
impossibility to enforce the non-treating
code. The reform had to begin outsido the
regions of conviviality. A good many tried
the reform way of paying car fare. “Dutch
treat” was always the phrase for this
method. Some people, with what author
ity I never discovered, called it tbo “Phila
delphia plan.” Men occasionally went out
to dinner, and, instead of paving ou the al
ternating treat plan, paid each for his own
meal. This practice undoubtedly prevails
to a certain extent now. And “advanced”
people still struggle against conventional
ideal of politeness and goiurosity.
But among the great average the plan
fails. Mon and women, especially women,
struggle ridiculously in the horse car before
the pitying contemplation of the conductor,
who is skeptical en >ugh to believe that one
person in every pair is secretly willing to let
the other pay, but makes a show of getting
at the conductor first.
Kvervbody who thinks is willing to agree
that treating of any kind, when it does not
shield hogs or tempt hypocrisy, is a down
right nuisa ce. But, all the same, niee
people ont of ten never even question the
ancioat method -hogs, hypocrisy aud all.
As for New York, iu particular, it has
entered on tho great annual orgy of treat
ing. For five weeks tho wholesale treating
of the politic nns will liberate rivers of beer
and lakes of whisky. This is the saloo i
kvepers’—and particularly the bartenders’ —
harvest. One of the taxes of candidature
is an exorbitant price for drinks. No
despotism is more complete than that ex
erted by the saloonkeepers during the elec
tion seasoe. The most burdened candidate
is often staggered by the lump sum oharged
for a “round” in some miserable groggery,
but he dare uot utter a complaint. It is oue
of the amenities of running for office under
our lugvnioui political system.
WHAT WK ARB COMING TO.
A New Yorker—4 parson, iu fact—tells
mu a story which has, he thiuk, not been
in print.
This !• the story:
A venerable ladv from rural parts came
to New York to see the eight-, bbe wae a
sagarli u* anil Inquiring p:rs>.il, an i while
site was thoroughly steeped to the conserve
item of e quiet country community, she had
. made up her min i toat when she > ame bo
the city bei {wrseuei prejudices on the morel
or awthetic side should not prevent her from
opening her eyes and seeing what was go
ing on in the world, as the world is Illus
trated by New York.
The old lady said to her niece, whom she
was to visit during her metropolitan so
journ: “Jennie, I want you to let me see
all the things I never see up in Briggs Junc
tion. I wanter kinder look around and
see how people live and what they do down
here, you know, and I want you to take
me to places and get me around, so that I
can kinder size ud things when I get back.’^
Jennie assumed the responsibility implied
by this rnquest. After trotting tho old
lady about the city during the day she took
her on the first evening to heur a talk by
Eob Ingersoll.
The old lady heard Ingersoii’s theological
nualysis without flinching. Other people
warmed up u- and applauded, and others drew
into their shell a-scowling. But the visitor
from Briggs Junction did not commit her
self. She simply "‘said nothing and sawed
wood.”
Jennie was a little surprised not to hear a
comment of some deprecatory kind. But
nothing was said, the old lady retiring for
the night in a stato of obvious mental
activity.
On the next evening Niece Jennie took
her aunt to heir a dress reform lecture by
Jenne s Miller. It would he difficult to
sey which seemed tho more radical to tho
rural conservative. Ingersi ii’.i attack on
ecclesinsticism or Mrs. Miller’s ripping up
of old dress ideas. But auntie said never a
word during or after the lecture.
That night Jennie saw the old lady safely
bestowed in her bed. She had kissed her
good night and was turning to leave the
room in something of that luminous silence
which had prevailed on the previous even
ing, when the venerable occupant of the
bed, heaving a deep and troubled sigh,
gasped:
“Ah! Jennie, what is this world a-coming
to? No hell and no shimmies!’’
THE BATHERS’ LAST DIP.
The remarkable number of warm days
during .September nowhere produced a
more curious result than in the prolonged
activity at Coney Island.
Coney Island had been consid
ering itself ill-treated by the weather.
July and August were ontlr.ly too
cool for trade. Very warm days were tho
exception, and everybody at. Coney Island
who is interested iu crowds—and who is
not down there? —became positively
morose by the time Sept. 1 arrived.
But September, instead of the few spas
modic hot days early in tho month which
New Yorkers lea-n to look Ir, has kept up
a peculiarly summery temperature. None
uf the weather experts, public or private,
has any record of such a September. It is
beyond all orthodox precedent. Up to
within n few days of the end of the month
tho sultryne'>s continued. These conditions
ereafly discomforted people who had hur
ried home from the mountains, but they
have delighted Coney Island. The Coney
Island people, who were, as you might say,
s finding with the closing shutters in their
hands, paused in astonishment, put away
the shuliers. brushed up things again, and
have actually been doing so much more
business during September than anybody
had any right to expect that they are quite
mollified in their retrospective glance at the
actual summer season.
Crowds have coptir.oed to besiege the
New York boats Icee.'Oom has boon tast
ing seus mable, even ou the breezy Jiier.
The outdoor concerts have retained a pict
uresque popularity. People who are so cu
riously constructed as to be able to onjoy
life at a VVesl End hotel, are hanging on
with a willingness that is caayning toe pro
prietors. Tho dime museum freaks who
expected to be chased back to New York on
Sept. 2J, have been grin ing in freakish
delight at the unexplored prolongation of
their seashore t * ,uro. The merry-go
rounds have been humming u cheerful tune,
aid t e man who has been shunting in a
steam whistle fal etto f rtlio elevated rail
way has risen at least three tones on his
upper register under the influence of tho
unexpected rush.
Down on ihe sand it has been delightfully
warm at a reason when it generally begins
to got Inhospitably chilly. The bathers are
talcing their 1 ist dip. They are taking it
as if in realization that it is an unexpected
pleasure.
Rookaway and Long Branch, too, have
been enjoying this advent of the unex
pected. ihe amount of September bathing
has every where broken tho record. Beoplo
who fish a good dealiu September, aud who
generally oxpoct to do some of it in qn ovor
coa', have Leen adding a s.vim to the con
ventional excitement.
Yes. September has been an unexpected
month. Thousands of the nabobs who got
caught in town have been swearing at it
viciously. But many thousands more have
had a good deal of out-of-door satisfaction
out of its unexpectedness.
FASHIONS IN FACES.
One of tho things that pooplo do who
have plenty of time on their hands is stroll
up Broadway and study the photographs
exhibited in tho show windows.
Alt manner of windows now display por
traits of statesmen and soldiers and actress-s
an i virtuosi, and ladles who bavo married
decayed European counts, and every grads
of professional beauty. Music stores run
rather to musical celebrities, but take the
cold edge off the severe professionalism of
snch a display by scattering about a f w
types of people who are nothing in particu
lar . but who have been talked about a good
deal.
There is a certain fashion in faces. Just
now tho fashion seems to be for a senti
mental “Early English” type. Our Ameri
can stage women are affecting this Btyle and
sometimes with a very fetching success. It
is hard to tell the English from the Ameri
can beauties, so clearly does fashion conven
tionalize both varieties. Julia Marlowe
makes a bit in her effort to look lfka a Wal
ter Scott heroine. Corinne is of a style to
have pleased Byron. Marie Wninwright
has a face to fit some romance of the Eliza
bethan period. Lillian Bussell is modern
iu her beauty and manages to still bare
the most popular face of the group. Marie
Tempest, again, is of the romantic order
