The bliss of thee!

,J* ,he New York Evening Sun. was
lt.oduced at a social gathering uptown
‘ era Rights ago. The game was foi
nc young and women present to de
s< r.rK‘ their ideal husband or wife, the
cst description to be selected by a board
o Judges composed of two men and two
women, and the winner to receive a prize,
n this case the prize answer to the ques
ion of “What is your ideal of a wife?**
was given by a young man—“far too
>oun.g to commit matrimony”—whose
< ontribution read: “She must be several
>ears younger than her husband, and
must have a love of dress, with just
enough common sense to keep that love
within bounds of her husband's income,
bhe need not be beautiful, but with the
love of dress she will be neat, and with
the common sense mentioned she will
be able to manage herself, and therefore
to manage a house. She should be Jeal
ous ot her husband, because jealousy
never goes without love; and as for edu
cation. that makes no difference so long
as she can speak good English. The
above-described woman, with a slight sea
soning of temper and good manners, is
my ideal of a wife.”
There arc many more little points, says
the World, that the woman of to-day—we
won t call her the fin de siecle woman
any more—looks to than did her mother.
The pose of the head Is carefully studied,
whether a girl looks better with her chin
thrown In or out is seriously discussed
and a decision arrived at before she
starts out on her social career.
It is Interesting in the extreme to see
how different two women, dressed pre
cisely alike, do look when they are to
gether.
The Inevitable cloth costume, jacket,
and plain shirt, looks utterly unliKe with
the different way women hold themselves.
Shoulders thrown back, head up in the
aJr, and an alert expression gives a dash
ing, smart look to th* plainest gown,
while head a little to one side, shoulders
drooping, and a languid manner changes
the same woman altogether.
It seems now to be the thing for the
young married woman to assume the
former pose, while the latter is accorded
to the unmarried girl.
Hut these fashions are not irrevocable,
and, presto! change, and we will not
know which is which.
An engagement should be announced
first by the family of the bride-elect,
writes Mrs. Burton Harrison in the March
Ladies’ Home Journal. This is done either
verbally and informally to friends, or by
note to those whom it is desired shall re
ceive early information. The man may
at the same time write to those of his
friends whom he desires to have share in
his happiness and whom the girl’s family
could not so well reach. Churlish, indeed,
would be the spirit to withhold Interest In
anew engagement, and the telling of It by
the principals almost always inspires a
kindly feeling for them in those told. Lov
ers have, perhaps, the best-founded claim
to thinking themselves -of first interest to
a community of any cla**B of people, and
are quite entitled to assume all the honors
and privileges of the Situation.
And yet the up-to-date girl is “awfully”
Interesting, says a writer in the New York
Mail and Express. 1 sat and listened to
two of them chattering in a cable car
one day this week, and felt bereaved when
they got out. We traveled together per
haps about twenty-five or thirty blocks, at
cable car speed wh n n it hasn’t lost its
grip, and during that rapid transit it was
borne In upon me w ith the force of an abid
ing conviction that the girl of to-day can
handle more subjects simultaneously than
a Japanese juggler can handle glass balls
with like dazzling results. Said the one
who was sitting by me to the one who
was swaying over us like a wind-blown
flower: “German -opera is coming back.”
“Yes, I know, at Easter. I am going to
save up all my money during Lent.”
“Save! Then you’ve got to get out of
town. You just, can't save. Never saw
money, go as fast as it does this winter.”
By the time we reached the next corner
it was “mite boxes for the poor; " the next
“Miss Gould’s engagement;’* the next,
somebody was holding receptions this win
ter on Wednesdays and Thursdays, tw*o
days right together. “So funny.” The
next, we had gotten to rebellious Susan—
“awfully jolly.” And while we were mak
ing two blocks I had the benefit of a de
scription of the wind-blown flower’s recep
tion dress that “everybody had fallen in
love with.” Before they got out a dona
tion bad been asltod for any promised, an
engagement for the theater arranged for
and a friend’s church wedding in Brook
lyn described. And the dear things looked
so pretty and happy that their departure
was like drawing down shades in the car.
“The three fads of the year,” summed
up a bright young woman in a cable car
|.he other day, “are Napoleon, Trilby and
violets.” She was not far wrong, says
the New York Times, particularly as to
the latter, for lovely woman lately, in the
street, the shop, the theater, the drive,
at teas, balls and the opera, wears noth
ing in the way of flowers save violets.
In deference to their extraordinary popu
larity, it is even permissible to wear arti
ficial ones, in places where the natural
are usually seen, and many women pin
a mock bunch to a jacket lapel and leave
-there indefinitely. The imitation blooms
are very successful, and, for occasions,
are quite effective.
A hint for the writing table is from
Paris. Tinted paper is fashionable thi.s
year, especially the grayer shades of blue,
heliotrope and delicate pink. The crest Is
stamped in white picked out with gold, or
the monogram in gold on a white medal
lion. The wax used for sealing the envel
ope should be of the same color as the
paper, but a shade lighter or darker;
dead-white wax Is often preferred for
blue paper. A box of stationery is always
of one color only. A fashionable French
woman chooses a tint for the season and
uses no other, the wax matching it.
“During dangerous weather of this
sort,” said the old doctor to the Washing
ton Evening News,” the most careful per
sons are apt to catch a cold in their
chests that will extend swiftly to the
lungs if not attended to. It usually makes
its presence known by a constricted sen
sation just under the breast-bone, where
the flesh is the thinnest. When a person
experiences this feeling ho can rest as
sured that he can procure almost instant
relief by drinking a cup of water as j
hot as h** can bear to take in the mouth
and to swallow. There is no better medi
cine in the world to arreat the progress
of a cold than hot water, and, besides its
effect upon the stomach and the system
generally, it is beneficial in the highest

degree. And in sore throat the remedy
wdl be found almost a specific.
Speaking of Miss Anna Gould’s forth
coming marriage, says the Mail and Ex
press. it is said that her fiance's brother.
Count Jean de Castellane. has presented
her with a corsage decoration composed
of diamonds and emeralds to the value of
$14,(00. The emeralds in this dazzling * rea
tion are pronounced the rivals of those
possessed by the Empress of Austria.
Miss Gould's marvelous wedding pres
ents and her marriage to a foreign noble
man are already beginning to exercise
the space writers and—the American citi
zen, on© of whom rises to ask w ith fren
zied eagerness: “Are we not all nobles
in these glorious I’nited State*? Can you
conceive of a givater being than an
American citizen?” In protest against
this expert, I answer: “Without the
slightest difficulty, my dear sir. especially
if one chances on him in an elevated car
and enjoys the exalted privilege of look
ing down upon him from the attitude ;>f
the seat less, as he cowers behind his
spread new.spaj*er.”
The average young man, says the
Hartford Times, when he tees tWo ladies
kiss one another, is apt to remark:
"What a waste of good material!” and if
the ladies are young and pretty he be
moans ail the more the less of the good

The only consolation '.o the masculine
tator of the purely feminine kissing
process is the knowledge that they are
not dealing in the genuine article, but on
ly In a sham and insipid imitation, got up
merely for appearance sake, and not in
dulged in from any virtue In the mere
act of kissing. He knows \ery well that
“a kiss without a moustache is like an
esg without halt”; at least, he was told it
often enough before his own moustache
hud made its appearance. The ecstatic
thrill of the lovers’ kiss, which lifts the
happy pair fer the nonce into a state of
blissful forgetfulness of mundane mat
ters, is a lilting subject for the pen of lof
ty poetic inspiration, but what poet ever
bothered his brains to write a single
line on a pair of women pecking at each
other’s face#, amiably or otherwise?
That man was at once a philosopher and
a man of science who gave out that he
had discovered that the electric, tingling
sensation produced by a real kiss should
be felt through the whole frame for at
least half on hour. He was, no doubt,
a German, for only a German could be
so keenly athirst for knowledge as to
venture to subject this divinest of sensa
tions to physiological analysis in his lab
oratory—to measure its magnetic pulsa
tions, and calmly to count the accelera
ted heart-beats of kisser and kissee; but,
though he probably looked out at the
world from behind beetling brows and a
pair of blue “specs,” he evidently knew
a thing or two.
It is not Imaginable, on any possible
view of the subject, that there is the
slightest pleasurable result experienced by
ladies when they kiss each other, much
less one demonstrable by the most delicate
scientific methods of investigation. An
ordinarily hearty hand-shake would lick
it all to tits In this respect.
Learned men in the Middle Ages, who
spent much time in discussion of triviali
ties and in hair splitting, enumerated a
host of different kinds of kisses, though
they, after all, wound up the whole matter
by admitting that there is only one true
kiss—the kiss of love; and they put tbe kiss
between women very far down the list, as
a thing of no account or value, being thus
in accord with the conclusions of all sen
sible people who have studied the ques
tion.
Still, we have to do with facts, and
women, for all that may be said against
the practice, *?o kiss each other, and In
the pursuit of knowledge on the subject, 1
asked my wife whether she found any
pleasure ih kissing any member of her
own sex.
“Pooh! ’ was all the reply she deigned
to give, though presently, after apparent
ly cogitating and arriving at the con
clusion that this ejaculation, expressive
enough in its way, could not help me very
much, she made some remarks which
were altogether too flattering to myself—
and. by implication to the male sex—to
be here set down at large. T’ltimately 1
managed, by pressing the question, to
elicit something definite on the subject,
the gist of which was that, when women
kiss each other, they do so merely as a
matter of form, meaning by it for the
most part, no more than n mere hand
shake. and often less, for there may be
warmth in that, but nature denied
the possibility of warmth existing in a kiss
between members of the same s**x. Some-
but very seldom, women kiss be
cause they like each other.
I think, says a waiter in the Washing
ton Star, if women only understood what
a foe to good looks, perfect health and
contentment they harbor when they enter
tain the demon of unrest they would
have a care how they invite so unwel
come a guest to visit them. I say “In

in its train such a string of ills. They
seem to think that to be intense is to
be impressive, hence more attractive. In
reality it renders them and in
sincere. They thirst for distinction, rep

teurs and entertainers, celebrity as so

breeds interest, and interest importance.

“Yes, madam.” said the neat, pretty, re

I should be very glad to take the situa

The young matron, says the New York

“Is this a % treasure which I see before
me?” thought the mother of th© email
child; and the nursery at the moment
seemed full of pleasantness and peace.
“But I ought to tell you, madam,”
w'ent on the soft voice, “that I am a

“I don't wish to interfere with the re

lady.
“Yes, madam, but—lf your little girl were

“I’m sorry,” said the matron, “but of
oourse I couldn’t put my child in your
charge If you couldn’t meet emergencies
of illness.”
And so, mutually regretful, matron and
maid parted, the former entertaining the
conviction that a little medicine in an
anxious case of croup was safer than a
great deal of “willing.”

the New York Tribune, are not the only

big ball. Even matrons of assured posi
tion feel unpleasant doubts about their
ohan< es of supper—chances for which they
are utterly dependent upon masculine fa
vor or chivalry. Many men, through an
exaggerated fear of being what they call
"stuck,” pretend not to see even old
friends, who obviously need the conven
tional aegis of their protection; and not
infrequently these good dames go hungry
rather than compromise their sense of
dignity by making their wants known, or
by walking boldly unattended, with one
or two others In like plight, Into the sup
per room.
It seems perfectly absurd that a boy of
30 may bring relief and solace in such a.
predicament to a woman of 50, or that
the distinctions of sox should be so unfair
In a ball room, in this age of progress
and enlightenment. Of course the women
have only themselves to blame in this
matter. A little concerted action by the
loaders of society would bring freedom
and relief from such ridiculous unwritten
sallc laws; and It remains a commentary
on the selfishness of those who know that
they can command attention, and who
make no effort to effect a reform which is
so much needed, that they allow a humili
ating condition to exist.
Georgina, Countess of Dudley, enjoys the
well-deserved reputation of being not only
one of the most beautiful matrons in ]>on
don society, but also one of th© kindest
and most warm-hearted of the great ladles
of Mayfair. She is ;t devoted mother and
deserves a great amount of credit for the
manner in which she has brought up her
children and for the devoted care and loy
alty which she manifested to her eccentric
husband. 1 "ntil h’s death her existence
was little better than a martrydom, which
she bore with the most exemplary pa
tience and fortitude. The late carl was
many years her senior and th© reverse
of handsome, in addition to which he in
many matters was entirely insane, having
Inherited h!s madness from his father. All
this would have caused many a mother
to hesitate before even permitting her
daughter to wed such a man, but Lady
Dudley’s mother. Lady Louisa Monchieff©,
dazzled by the earl's Income of $3,000,000 ;>
year, forced her lovely daughter to bind
herself to him.
The contrast between the beautiful wo
man and the almost repulsive-looking
husband, who was her constant compan
ion, was so startling that it drew forth
the hackneyed exclamation of “Beauty
and the Beast,” wherever they went.
Had Lord Dudley been less wealthy he
would inevitably have been confined in a
madhouse, but even during the closing
years of his life Lady Dudley never per
mitted him to be considered Insane, al
though he seldom experienced lucid mo
ments. Lady Dudley was the second wife
of the late earl, and has seven children,
six sons and one daughter- Her eldest
boy, the present earl, is a tdll, strapping
young man of six feet two, and a stranger
looking at the still beautiful and youth

and sister rather than mother and son.

"Some years ago.” said the drummer in
the smoking car. "J had a young friend
in one of the interior counties who was
a hustler in poll tics. He found the field
