pleasantly reported for
SUNDAY’S CALL. 7
A garden path lined with roses;
Trips a maid among the posies,
plucks fragrant rose of blood-red hue
And whispers low: “0 blossom, do
Take to my lore a message true—
A message that I charge to you—
One pure above all mortal things.
Dear, go to him with fleeting wings
And say to him: 'Your sweetheart’s true
To you alway. She loves but you,
And your image is on her heart,
While she murmurs, *1 will not part
With it ever? ’’ And whispers low, >
‘Now, lovely rose, I bid you go
And in his heart, just breathe a song
Os love and hope; a tender song
So pure, ao sweet, that sad despair
Shall vanish into empty air—
And Love may see the rainbow true
Reflected in fair skies of blue.’ ”
Long years have passed. The rose is dead,
But its fragrance has never fled.
Though crimson petals faded lie,
And the maiden, with tear-dimmed eye,
Hanes on the once bright flower, ‘
Plucked in gladness from lover’s bower
So long ago. Poor, faded rose; > •
The maid guessed not how swiftly flows
The love from hearts that seem so true.
Ah, tom of loye, the message you
Were charged to'give, within your heart
Must ever lie, and you must part
With it never. The murmured sigh,
The words of tendernes must die.
For he was false, false to his love—
False to his vows to God above.
And she? Ah, she is-true for aye—
For a woman loves not today
And then forgets! Her love must live
Tomorrow, too, although it give
But bitterness, despair and pain,
And youth’s sweet love comes not again.

The "new woman” is dead. Like
- everything else feminine, she was but
• fad, a caprice, a whim. Extremists
in the movement presented such a
grusome, ludicrous picture that wo
men, the wide world over,have shrunk
back, not quite to the fragile, willowy
period of our grandmothers, nor yet 1
to the clinging ivy period, but still :
into an essentially womanly creature, 1
Man is to be left the possessor of bis 1
own domain. Bis clothes, his sports, 1
his pleasures, bis relaxations, are to be
his and his alone. This fact is shown :
in every detail of woman’s life. Cy
clists no longer wear bloomers or
"knickers” under their tweed or linen
skirts, but daibty white lingerie ap
pears when the wind disturbs the
serenity of the outer garment. Stiff
collars and linen stocks are discarded
for tfip softest mulls and lawns; stiff
manish hats are thrown away, and
replaced by feather trimmed inven
tions of the milliners. So much for
the costume. In sport, golf is con
sidered violent exercise by this most
modern of all modern creatures, and
ton miles is a long spin on a wheel.
In London, during the past season—
and of course the fads and caprices of
London’s Vanity Fair are but the
forerunners of those of the Metropoli
tan—the fainting spells of Angelina
and the smelling salts of Evelina were
very much de rigneur. As milady
passed from booth to booth, she re**
qtiired an enormous amount of stimu
lent, net, be it understood, the stimu
lants taken by strong men, not wine
or spirits, but phosphates, bromides,
cordials or liqueurs. Tea and coffee
in their_ordinary forms were rarely
seen, but creme de case and creme de
the*—whichever matched the hostess’
gown, for no up-to date hostess would
serve a liqueur that did not match her
gown—were most restorative. On
every London buffet all the "ates” and
"ides” known to chemists occupied a
prominent place, so that milady could
choose her favorite stimulant. In
every drawingroom, mingling with
the perfume of fragrant blossoms, was
the pungent odor of lavender and
violet salts. The change to this state
of affairs has been somewhat abrupt,
and it la a bit hard for the robust
maidens of the past year or so to suds
denly assume the drooping graces of
fifty years ago, but on the faces of the
framed and painted Angelinas and
Evelinas on the walls there is a more
than ever self satisfied smile, as if
w these belles of long ago were saying:
“I told you so! I knew that you would
have to return to us, to our weaknesses
perhaps, but also to our grace and
loveliness ”

A Fine Attraction- -
Tbe Birmingham Age-Herald bar
tbe following complimentary notice
about Al G. Field’s minstrels which
will be at tbe Olympic next Tuesday
night:
"Tbe best minstrel show ever given
in Birmingham,” was the unanimous
verdict of tbe audience which witness
ed Al Field’s minstrels last night. Not
only was it a “standing room only”
audience, but it was also one of tbe
most refined that has ever been seen
in the opera house. And there was
not a thing in the entire performance
that could offend the most sensative
ear.
Tbe part of the show was the entire
ly new specialties introduced Tbe
little minitrel sketch, “In Cuba,” with
Al Field in tbe leading roll, wassome><
thing real new ahd up to date. It dealt
of tbe adventures of tbe negro cook is
a company of rough riders while before
Santiago.
An electrical pantomime entitled,
“Gone to the Moon,” was another of
the novelties introduced. «. • *
Al Field’s jokes were absolutely of tbe
latest manufacture, for almost every
one of them were on the Spanish war;
they had to be new. Doc Quigley’s
Eccentric dancing was highly applaud
ed Everhardt, tbe juggler, Gruett,
Beers & Gruett, in their acrobatic
specialty entitled a "Strange Sweet
heart,” Arthur Rigby in bis confiden
tial talk with tbe audience, Lelliott,
Busch and Lelliott, in their musical
family act, and Faust acrobatic family
were all far above tbe average minstrel
attractions, and all of them were
roundly applauded. Tbe music of the
whole performance, both vocal and in
strumental, was better than ever.

How a Fever Report Spread*
"ph, Sarah, do you know Alice it
collecting souvenirs of tbe war,despite
wbat she said?”
“What! Why, she declared that she
would never get the souvenir fever. I
must tell tbe girls about it. Poor
thing! She has started late, though,
and can t catch us. Good-bye.”
Sarah passes on and sees hor friend
Maud sitting on her veranda, says tbe
Memphis Commercial Appeal.
“Ob, Maud, Alice baa tbe fever; got
it bed, despite wbat she said. Caught
it from some returned soldier, I sup
pose. Alice Blank, I mean.”
“Ob, yes, I understand. Poor thing!
So late io tbe se aeon, too.
Maud’s brother asks nothing about
tbe matter and rushes off to bis club
to spread tbe terrible uews that Alice
Blank has tbe yellow fever; that she
caught it frum a returned soldier, and
is in a bad way. He heard his sister
talking about it. And there is another
panic and hundreds of cases are locat
ed all about town until some sane
fellow with drink' money upholds tbe
board of health and steadies the boys’
nerves.
