Newspaper Page Text6 WOMAN’S WORLD. BOMB CURIOUS THINGS OF INTER EST TO THE GENTLER BEX. Borne of the Latest Things in Fashions. A Few Short Stories 6howlns Pe culiarities of Girls-Gowns That Attract Attention— Stoclclnss That Are Cheap and Good—Other Matters Worthy of Notice A wide-eyed bit of a creature, says Dorothy Sharp in the Philadelphia Press, who looked about 16, was dining at fash ionable restaurant. She had a chaperon all right enough, but the man with them really felt that the girl's obild-like look ren dered a chaperon unnecessary. “Do yon like champagne!"’ he suggested, half in joke. “No,"she said, hesitating and shy,“l don’t like champagne.’’ Then she bright ened up and added in her bell-like treble, ‘But I think the wsy it makes you fael is perfectly elegant." The chaperon became so faint that she had to be sprinkled with cold water and fanned. One of four girls said: *‘l wish I vrere 'rich,” and a chorus came at once: "So do L” Then said one: “What would you do •with money P The first one wanted lots of clothes, a horse and carriage and to go to the theater all she liked. A second wanted plenty of books, tickets to all tbe lecture courses and a typewriter. The third wanted • box at the opera, and anew piano, all the jewelry she pleased, to live at a fine hotel and anything less than that was hetag poor. The fourth sighed and said: “O, I just want to pay my dsbts and buy one new drasi.” After all, to be rich means something dif ferent to each person. They tell an Interesting story, says tbe New York Sun, of one of tbe famous Lon <lon beauties. Wheo she came up from her country houos to be presented to society by a oousin already a leader in Vanity Fair, her hostess realized the faot that tbs girl’s fresh, robust beauty needed olevsr manage ment to make the required impression on tbe critics. Mho tried on the fresh pink and white ball dress she bad bought, but the hostess shook her bead, thinking but not saying, “She will out be looked at twice.” Then she went to her own room aud re turned with an old tulle ball dress of her own. It was black and unrelieved by a hint of oolor. About the plain skirt was a rouleau of tulle trimmed with jet chains. The "Bodice was made with a flashing jet cuirass, and jet chains draped tbe sleeve on the shoulders. With some demur tbe country beauty was persuaded to go to bsr first ball In the balf-worn gown, in which she looked like a queen, and after that night she could wear wbat she liked, for she was universally -conceded the belle of tbe season, and made a brilliant social success. “I had a wretched oold last week,” said a pretty girl the other day to a New York Tribune representative. “I was as hoarse as a raven and ooughed continually. As I had a lot ef engagements ou hand in tbe wav of dinners, etc., that it was imperative to nil, I was in despair. Every evening my voice would go completely. Our family physician gave me some medicine which did not do a bit of good, and I was about to give tip everything and take tbe train for Lake wood when old Aunt Tabitha, who had come in from tbe country, suggested some thing. ’Wbon I was a girl,’sne said,'and had a bad cold 1 took rook candy and rum and then went aud danced, and it always cured me.’ “Now this sort of advioe just suited me, as you may imagine, although mother thought it a most doubtful experiment. However, I sent for a couple of ounces of rook oandy, poured over It two ounoot of rum, aod took a dessertspoonful every now aud again until It was all gone. Then I denned my ball dress and danoed hard for several hours, aud la the morning I was completely cured. This is an actual fact aud any one who likes herolo measures can try my cure.” Such a hue and cry as is raised about the extravagance of tbe women of our day, and yet at tbe court of St. James’, In a dress of velvet embroidered with gold, which is said to have oost $1,500, Marie de Medicts had a gown sown with 32,000 pearls and 3,000 diamonds, and her example wax fol lowed by lesser personages, who oheerfully expended more than their incomes on gowns so laden with precious stones that their wearers oould scarcely move about in them. Mme. de Montespan, the beauty who reigned at the court of Louis XIV., wore At one great oiurt festival, “a gown of gold on gold, and over that gold friese stitched with a certain gold whioh makes the most •divine stuff that bas ever been Imagined,” according to the panegyrics written by the pen of Mme. de Bevigue. The spring woolens, says the New York Times, are unusually handsome, far exceed ing in beauty those of last autumn. Per haps, however, it soarcely is just to compare them with winter fabrics, sinoe the spring work permits so much wider range in both •color and texture, but, plaoing them beside tbe woolens of a year ago, if anybody oan remember that far back, the improvement is very notioeable. The large proportion of crepons, with their soft surface and lovely coloring, is sufficient causa for the admiration excited. These crepons furnish tbe element of nov elty that bas been lacking for several sea sons. Even the Bedford cords, though brought out iu beautiful variety, have been obliged to accept second plaoe in the In terest aroused. In addition to the orepoua there Is suoh an endless assortment of charming wools that it will be Impossible to notice them In any definite order. It rather will be Inter esting to wonder through the gorgeous show, stopping where fancy dictates. There is little that is not worth seeing. Some of tbe henrletta an J cashmere robes are par ticularly elaborate and showy. Recently at the theater, says Dorothy Sharp in the Philadelphia tress, to my great satisfaction ray seat fell next to that of a charming girl who I knew very well. At the end of tbe first act she introduced her escort to me. He was of most ordinarv ap pearance. His fingers aod shirt-front dis played more diamonds than good taste. In the short conversation I had with him I couldn’t fail to note that he was a well dressed boor. At tbe end of the seoond act ♦he girl sent the man out to get a box of bonbons. “I suppose you are surprised to meet me at the theater with such an uncultivated and boorish escort.” she remarked. In all frankness I was forced to admit that I was surprised. “Well,” said she, “papa and mamma both object to my accepting attention from this man. To be honest with you, although he tries hard to be a gentleman, it will taua him many a year to rub off the ‘rough fin ish,’ which seems to be as hard as enamel. But, my dear, there is so much to be seen— concerts, benefits, theaters, operas and shows of all kinds. Papa’s income is not large, while this man stands ready to tako ine everywhere. In faot. he considers it an honor to be allowed to buy tiokets and take me. “What am Ito do! Refuse and stay at home* Why, it would be asking too inueu of human flesh. indeed it would, so I go everywhere, I see everything, I have the best seat in the house—for I will net sit iu a box with him. But I draw the line at eat ing with him! I made papa toll him that he must never invite me to supper. It cuts him hard for be would give SIOO joyfully for a few oysters and a salad if 1 would go into a swell restaurant aud eat them with him. ’’Faugh! I couldn’t do It; I would rather eat with a waiter than with a man who shows so plainly that ha isn’t wbat he pre tends to be. But sb-b, there be comes back, and I’ll wager anything that be has an ex pensive box of candies for you, too. Yes, there they are. Don’t make a scene. Do Uke them lor toy sake. I’ll do as mush for yon some day. Thanks. Don’t thick too bard of me. it Isn't my fault—it's the fault of the age in which we live.” Now girls, you who would be beautiful, ■ays thj New York Press, beware cf tem per. discontent and sulks. The reiteration of an expression makes a line in your face, soots lines beautify and others disfigure. Long before wrinkles oomt there are, especially about the lipa. corvee that mark the rise of tiny muscles developed by use. They are called into play bv expressions. There you have It in a nutshell. In course of time. wrinkles coins about these curves, and tbe wrinxles stay when the ourves are sunken. These wrinkles give tbe beauty or the unsightliness to age, just as the ourves long ago gave meaning to youth. Keep the muscles of your face relaxed. Don’t let expressions harden. Keep your counten ance sensitive to emotion. Thus the muscles are used evenly, and the visage keeps its roundness. Cultivate the interested, gentle look ebont your eyes and lips—the look that marks childboid. So you wiil fight crows’ feet, and that first unsightly mark of age, tbe drawing of the corner of tbe lips. The mouth must be kept sensitive aud softly held, if you hope to keep your youth in your face. A girl of 16 may easily not be pretty, but she has it in her own bends to make herself lovely by 25. She osn have a p;r feet complexion by then. Exercise should give her a well-developed figure. Sweet thoughts, cheery good temper, gentleness and intelligence should by this time have modeled the face in gentle curves. Tbe eyes are soft, tbe lips tremulous, and—what more than all that is needed to make beauty? Tbe coarse cotton hose of Elizabeth’s day, very imperfect in fit, cost about sl2, and can now be bought for 12 cents. In nothing, as a writer in a trade paper last week points out, has modern invention and taste wrought a greater change than in the man ufacture of hosiery. Perfection of color ing, of text ire and of fit and tbe cheapness of prioe ha re come hand ia band. Every woman may now enjoy tbe luxury of per fect stockings, and ihe revelation of them on tbs stage and at tbe seashore in summer no longer shocks the experienced spectator, however modest. Just use a little sense, says Clare Belle, adopting a fashion. It is worse than fool ish to aocept one with apparently tbe ouly result of biding some good point A girl with shell pink ears, for lusianoe, does not want to favor the mode of towseling the hair loosely from tbe temples. Anyway, only adapt it first and don’t cover the pretty ears, no matter how loose the hair may be. A woman with a finely shaped head (one of the most valuable of all good points I is fool ish to wear her hair in the bird’s nest fashion on top of her cranium. Adapt, not adopt. If your shoulders are well set, don’t pile yourself down with capes, rutiles and oollarettee. If your complexion is perfect, don’t go Into thick veils. If you have a tailor-made figure, don’t do tbe Delsarte fad. If you have an unconstrained, wide waisted Juno form, don’t, O, don’t go into tailor-made gowns. The latest and daintiest ot whims, says the New York Sun, is a supplement to fancy stationery in the form of a little pad of the finest and softest of Japanese tissue paper, exactly tbe size of a half ebeet of not* paper. The paper ia white, and has stamped in one corner a single flower in the natural oolor, sometimes shaded or outlined In gold. Occasionally the sentiment of the flower Is placed under it In the tiniest of gold lettering, or If the young lady be clever, she paints the flower and writes a suitable eentlment across the sheet in gold ink. After writing a letter she tears off one of the tissue sheets and rolls it into tbe .least possible compass and drops upon itenough perfume to dam pen it thoroughly, using, of course, the per fume of the flower stamped on the paper. After unrolling it anl allowing the alcohol to evaporate eutfloieutly to avoid any soil, she folds her letter and slips the scented sheet between the fold. When some admir ing friend receives the letter there is likely to flutter out, as he opens it, something very much resembling a butterfly, and breathing oharmtng suggestion! in its dainty perfume. If one thing ia more fetching than another ia a woman, says Clara Belle in the New York Press, it is a caressing way. Of course some girls are torn with it. but those who are not oan cultivate it • There are many different kinds. Some girls do it mostly with their shoulders, aud if your shoulders are handsome it is a good idea. Some girls have a knack of tucking their cheek down on their shoulders and rubbing the shoulder* against it Girls with pretty bands should cultivate some of the devices of caress with them, a dainty, pretty trick of smoothing the hand over the thing you like, or just touching it with a taper pink forefinger. Of oourse never do this if your forefinger lin’t taper and pink. You see, if you estab lish suoh a mannerism as a little “way” of your own, you can without fear of misap prehension touch a big fellow’s hand, or sleeve, and It is only “that little way of yours." All such advantages are of value- The triok of kissing Inanimate things is quite worn out, unless for a very young girl. If you cau do it naturally it is pretty to lay your cheek for an initaut against the letter you have lust read, or the photograph you have looked at, but it has to be done in just tbe right way or it lsu’t a success. A few years ago, when elevators were not quite so oommon as now, an elderly woman from the rural districts rode up aud down and up again in one at one of the city hotels. "Where shall I let you out?” Anally asked tbs attendant, on the second uown trip. “As near as possible to the Forty-second street station,” placidly replied bis passen ger. Several prominent English and American lawyers in Paris have recently been inter viewed on the subject of international mar riages. Henry Cachurd, representing Coudert Bros, of New York, said: "The general opinion that Buch marriages are merely esobangee of money for social posi tion is a mistake. Although unions do sometimes originate in selAsh motives, they are mostly due to affection.” A legal ad viser of the United States oonsu'.ate said: “In the majority of cases the fortunes of American women are in trust. Women are to a certain degree attracted by the glitter of a coronet.” One of the legal ad visers of the United States legation said: "I think that if the American girl, whose no tions of matrimony have been formed at home, expeots a French husband to act up to her ideals, she is likely to be disap pointed. But if she understands foreign views of marriage and accepts a husband, knowing these opinions, she is generally happy in her married life. Most American women, before contracting unions with for eigners, have traveled in Europe and got divested of the national prejudices.” That lovely old lace so much in vogue with our mothers and grandmothers, say half a century ago. and called Spanish blonde, is coming into greatfavor this year. It always looks to me like frosted feathers, so softly doee it fall and so graceful are its patterns. An exquisite diuner gown trimmed with, this lace is of a very pale blue satin with a shimmer of white all over it. while there are tiny rose colored dots scattered over it alternating with narrow stripes of white moire silk, on which appears a trellis work of tiny pink roses and small gray green leaven. The skirt is on fourreau and quite plain, while the bodice is of the cut known as “half high,” and it is elaborately trimmed with cascades and Bounces of verv deep Spanish blonde laoe. Avery broad sash of soft pale gray green silk is worn twisted around the waist, the long ends fall ing to the ground on the left side. ■ One of the novel little whims of dainty women is a charm of doll gold or silver made in the shape of an acorn or fieur da lit and worn upou the bangle or chatelaine.

The Old-Time Lecture Seasons—Tal mage's First Appearance. ( Copyright, 1898, by the United Press.) Nxw York, Feb. 27.—There need be no antagonism between tbe stage and tbe plat form. There are theaters and theaters, es there are platforms aod platforms. In olden days, when the land was In bent, strug gling with passionate Insistence on either side concerning slavery, its perpetuity, its extension ou one hand aud its extinction on tbe other, nearly all the lecture platforms were oocupied by men, now and then by women, of pronounced beliefs and opinions, which they urged with such solidity, with such fiery zeal, with suoh power of denun ciation. and with such manifest personal Interest as to warrant their appellation as agitators. Recall tbe names of the past and the re cent past at that. Beecher, with his mag nificent Inspirations along tbe line of man liness in every phase of living; Gough, the very apostle of temperauce; Wendell Phils 11ds, whose silver tongue dropped eloquence never yet surpassed, and always in the interest of tbe best; Theodore Parker, William Lloyd Garrison, all these names, you see trend toward a common point, namely: the enfranchisement of that par ticular part of God's creation then iu the chains of the darkness, of tbe blackness, of human slavery. Then came the war period, when there wa3 no such exciting text, and for a period lecturing dropped out. after that camea galaxy of scientific lectures, illustrious among whom stood the lamented Proctor, and tbeq, intertwined with Beeoher and Gough and Proctor and the readers such as Dickens, came anew element, Riley, Bill Nye, Cable, aud, bursting into marvelous and almost instantaneous offlorescence, a host of clergymen, among the lass of which conspicuous stands my dear old friead De- Witt Talmage. TALMAOE’S FIRST APPEARANCE. And how the wheels turn round! 1 remember when Talmage first went to Brooklyn twenty years ago, how the aes thetic laughed at him, how they sneered at him, how they repeated the same old game of depreciation that rather conspicuouily failed when tried on his great colaborer, Beecher, Well, Talmage was uncouth, he was pronounced, he did make use of odd ex pressions, his gestures were awkward, bis mouth is large, he did glare and roil his eyes, and bis voice was Uke the rasping of a saw, but for all that he had the flames of genius burning in his bosom. Don’t tell me that the man who for twenty consecutive years holds together the largest Protestant congregation in the country twice every Sunday, and as often otherwise during the week as he sees fit to call them together, in such a town as Brooklyn, wheie on the roll of its illustrious preachers stand the names of Beecher, Bethune. Constantine, Pise, Storrs, Chad wick and Hodges, has nothing in him. Flimsy structures fall with their own weight; babies shrink from strong men; dudes disappear In the stench of thsir own cigarettes, but the public factors whioh last for generations must be substantial, firm, effective aud universally recognized. SUOH IS DE WITT TALMAQB TO-DAY. His methods are peculiar. Ha writes his sermons and commits them to memory. This affords him a double advantage. Dispensing with notes and manuscripts of any kiud, he presents himself to his vast audience in his entirety. From the top of his bead to tbe sole of nls foot he addresses his audience, the people. His eye catches yours, his enthusiasm enoountora yours, his maguetism is responsively met. The man who reads his sermons or his addresses deprives his arguments, his imagery, his utteranoea of ona-half their beauty. 'Talmage thus has the advantage over the reader of an apparently extempo raneous utterance. On the other hand he has the advantage over the literal extempo raneous speaker of delivering a something whioh has been oarefully written, carefully edited and then committed to memory. BEECHER’S BRIEF NOTES. For many years, when a reporter on the New York Times, I was assigned to report Beecher’s sermons, and the files will show every Monday morning from one to four columns of the great preacher’s matter fur nished by my pencil. I used to take Mr. Beecher’s notes. They were ordinarily the merest skeletons, beads, subheads. Now and then there would be pages of written matter, the writing being large, and easily read at a distance. I don’t recall In all tbe ttme an Individual sermon that was fully written, and I notioed that he rarely got beyond the subdivisions of the seoond general bead. Now you can readily see that sermons preached from a partial outworking of an Idea must necessarilv be to a oertaln extent incomplete. This is obvious. To make the sermon symmetrical, ac cording to the great preacher’s Idea, he should hare used all the Ideas that occurred to him when planning. It was as though an architect, haring planned a superb edi tloe, should spend all the money at his dis posal and occupy all the ground allowed by the poroh and foundations, as it were, of the edifice. So Mr. Beecher in his extemporaneous argu ing would find ideas crowding ideas aud illustrations to such an extent tbst the time at his disposal would not permit an entire rounding out of his preconoeption. You get my point, of course. I am not criticising Mr. Beecher’s sermons, nor his mode. It would be an impertinence to do so. I simply draw the contrast betweon literal extemporaneous effort and apparent extemporaneous effort. Joseph Howard, Jr. He Rued His Bargain. An excited young mnn dislocated the bell knob beside the door of a dog fancier's store on Ninth street the other evening by a vig orous jerk, sometime after the proprietor had retired for the night, and performed a lively reel on the pavement to keop his bio >d In circulation while he was awaiting admit tance, says the Pniladelphia Times. •‘Hello 1” he said when a window above was raised and a night-capped bead ap peared. “Are you the man who ruus this dog store?” A gruff reply in the affirmative came from the second story, “Well, then, hustle round and get ready to corns out to my house in the country. I’m the fellow who bought tbat $6 bargain bull-dog from you this morning, aud I’m not satisfied with the deal at all,” “How’s thatf” demanded the dealer in embryo sausages, leaning farther out of the window si as to get a good look at the other. “Don’t lie suit you!” “No, he don’t,” the young man said promptly, “aud I’ll be willing to part with him without any consideration at all. You remember I paid for him and ordered him to be sent out to my house by oue of your men, don’t you!” “That’s right." “Well, that feeble-minded assistant of yours found my family out, and he tied the bloodthirsty brute to the front door 1 n t— and—say—" "Well.” “He’s there yet, that’s all, and my wife has been spending the evening with the neifhbors. I don’t like to disturb him my self, although I’d like to get in the house so ns to assist my mother in-law off the roof of the porch. If you’ll come out aud get the dog I’ll be very—- ’ A noise wbioh sounded suspioiously like a ohuokle came from above and interrupted the speaker as the window was shut down. Theu the young man proceeded with the intricate step* of the reel while he awaited the appearance of the dog dealer, occa. stonaliy varying the performance by audinle expression of sentiments regarding marked-down bulldogs that could only be represented here in long blank Unas, LOVE BETWEEN WOMEN. INFATUATIONS OF SCHOOL GIdLS, OP THE ALICE MITCHELL TYPE. Known In Every Great Woman’s Col lega—Attachments Common Among School Girls Removed From Home Influences—Their Effect on Suscepti ble Natures—Youth Not Alone Given to Them. Prom the Chicago Herald. The infatuation of one girl tar another, resulting In the terrible tragedy at Mem phis, for which Alioe Mitchell is now await ing trial, is not so uncommon as one might suppose. . It would be safe to eay that there is not a woman’s college orj seminary in tbe land in which such infatuation Is not rife, and, though not accompanied by such awful re sults as in tne case of Miss Mitchell and Miss Ward, yet heartaches and heartbreaks from this cause are of everyday occurrence. It Is a subject upon whioh every college girl is reticent, unless among her own fra ternity, but it is also a subject with which every girl is fully acquainted, and in almost every case the know* it by experience. There really is such a thing as woman’s love for woman, and it is developed in all tbe ardor of the “divine passion” in those communities where girl* lire exclusively among themselves. A girl is sent away to school at the time when she is most suscep tible to the sway of her affections. She is separated from the tender, sheltering home love: she is isolated from the healthful com panionship of her brothers and their friends. Her first condition at school is one of help less and miserable homesickness. Her heart yearns for tbe home caresses. In this yearn ing condition someone comes and, in the careless bon-homme of school life, puts an arm around her or kindly presses her band, and presto, the deed la donel AFFINITIES BETWEEN SCHOOLGIRLS. Or even in such morbid homesiokness not so much as this is needed. A pretty dress, a pretty face, a clever recitation may be the lodestone that first draws tbe love that must have some outlet. After this stage tbe operations are muoh alike. This clever girl in the pretty gown, or with the dis tinguished air, etc., must be wooed and won. Flowers aud candy, call* and drives, notes and poetry flow like water to the lucky girl who has found suoh an admirer. |]lf the recipient of all these attentions be a new girl herself, she will probably quiokly surrender the fort, and there will be tbe common talk and gossip of tbe “new affin ities.” Of these new affinities one will do all tne room work, write all the exarclees, make all tbe sacrifices, and both will be perfectly, adorably happy. Lessons will suffer, appetites tail, all other Interests lapse, and the ends for which tbe girls come to college be defeated. They pull through their course somehow, but they wonder afterward how they managed to do it. If tbe otiject of these ardent attention* be not a Dew girl she will either hold her ad mirer to her as loDg as she can, for selfish reasons, or, if she be a girl of prinoiple, will show that she is already “attached,” and does not care to form anew alllanoe. But, Ot the jealousies and heartburnings, the plots and Intrigues, the cutting of the old friendship for tbe new, the flirtings and de ceptions, tbe playing with affections, tbe real tragedies that ocour in these affairs of the heart I THE GRIEFS AT PARTING, These attachments seem to be in the air. The teachers and gray-haired professors have them, and in the latter oase are the sport of the school. But the real strain comes when the partings must take place. Vacations are hideous affairs, and the dally letter does not in the least atone for the separation. The yearly commencement, with it* flowers and gavety, covers an un told amount of woe and grief—a grief that cannot be accounted for alone by the break ing of the ordinary school ties, but which results from the tearing apart of hearts that have “lived, moved ana had their being” in each other. After such an absorbing passion the lone liness and wretchedness that follow separa tion are almost unbearable. The quieter lore of home fails to satisfy the heart which has lived at boiling temperature for four years. Society, home ditties, young men, have no attractions for such a one. Some times these “two hearts that beat as oue” succeed in finding some position as teachers which enables them to still be together. Then the old life goes on in the sweetness of united love. It Is all satisfiying; nothing is missed from out their lives. There is a tenderness, a delicacy, a refinement of in tense love, that no other relation of life oan give or supply. It Is strange phase of a girl’s life, and is in truth, a never ending mystery to herself. But struggle against it as she may, it is nevertheless a very real phase, about which volumes might be written if the girls would only confess, And in her heart of hearth the girl of such a love often questions: “Is it wise?” ’’ls it right!” “Is it best?” But who can fight against Cupid when he comes in this form! Such a realm of love chains one unconsciously, as though she were in the land of the lotus eaters, where she could not get away if she would, and would not If she could. This oue faot remains, that mo3t girls, who have gone deepest into these affinities, when they ouco recover what they euppose is meant for their normal condition aud set tle down to married life, resolve that theirs daughters shall be educated at a coeduca tional school. This may be the factor, after all, that shall mow down the woman’s col lege and put all looming on a coeducational base. THE PRODUCTS OF NATURE CANNOT BE IMITATED. The remarkable merit of the Carlsbad Bprudel Salt, which is produced by the City of Carlsbad, by the evaporation of the Carlsbad Sprudel Water, has been known to the civilized world for more than five centuries. It has achieved its r.napproaelied reputation and retains it wholly on its merits. It is a natural remedy which is always effective in all disorders of the stomach, liver and kid neys; for habitual constipation, gouty and rheumatic affections, it is without equal. It has been largely imitated.
