WOMAN’S
WORLD.
“There is no such thing as love.”
That is what Judge Morris Eichmann
declared at the last meeting of the Wo
man's Social Club in Imperial Hall, West
Hoboken.
He was scheduled for a speech. Ho
began It with this bare, bald statement.
There were cries of "Shame!” from the
members and "Horrid man!" Some want
ed to put him out.
Judge Eichmann, who Is a widower,
and prominent in legal and social circles,
was formerly one of the most popular
men in that section. He Is now almost
tabooed by the fair sex.
"I had no Intention of raising such a
row by my seepch,” he explained to a
New York World reporter. "It was Im
promptu. Dr. Eudin Spicker of New
York was to have delivered an elaborate
address on ‘Woman's Position Nowa
days.' He didn't put In an appearance.
So I was called on. It seems that I said
too much. I was not aware that my views
were on: of the ordinary. I didn’t imagine
that pe pie nowadays did really believe
In love. I know some make a bluff at it,
but I thought I was stating a simple
truth that would not, be questioned. I
was on the side of the women. I was, In
fact, their advocate and defender.
“The only two instincts of primal man
were self-presevatton and the propaga
tion of the species. Marriage was, first
of all. a legitimate way of perpetuating
the race. Then love existed . between
man and wife, and there was no at
tempt made to interfere with the divine
law of nature. Now marriage is a civil
contract— nothing more. The family idea
has disappeared. And with that went all
that was best in love. What remains is
not fit to bear the name.
"I never marry a couple without wish
ing that I could strike out the clause
'and obey.' It is unjust to women. Why
should they be called upon to malts any
such absurd promise?
“In saying that there is no such thing
as love I don't mean to imply thqt we
haven't strong likings and vivid fancies.
A man meets a woman. He notices that
she is pretty or he finds that her tastes
fit his own. Perhaps it is the color of
her eyes that haunts him; perhaps a soft,
•vmpathetic thrill in her voice. He meets
her again and again. There is something
about her that appeals to him. He finds
that he likes her better than the other
women he knows. .But he has met other
women, in the past whom, he liked just
as well, and he will meet other women
in the future for whom he will entertain
the same feeling. He calls his feeling
'love,' and rushes into matrimony.
"The conditions of modern life have
brought into being anew state of affairs.
When the Instinct of race propagation
•was crucified love was crucified, but not
mother love. The maternal desire is no
longer', an active force in nature; but
where children have come love for them
has triumphed, even over modern bar-
barlsm. This is because women are by
nature more sympathetic than mm. A
woman is now independent because she
can be self-supporting-. Many a married
woman is not only self-supporting, but is
also the family support.
“It has been brought up against women
as a reproach that they will throw over
n poor suitor when a rich one appears.
For this they should be praised. It shows
that they are practical.
"Matrimony is an eye-opener. Many
young folks fancy they are in love when
they get married. I don’t pretend to deny
that. But I do Insist that they soon find
out their mistake. I hold the trashy
novel largely responsible for all the de
lusions about love. It bolsters up a fool
ish error. Women are the greatest suf
ferers. They, I regret to say, are [he
Insatiable readers of this trash.
“One phase of affairs since woman has
achieved her independence, is that jeal
ousy has become more of a female pre
rogative than formerly.
“In olden times it was the man who
was devoured by the green-eyed monster.
Now women, standing on a plane of
equality with men. demand from them the
utmost loyalty. They are in a position to
exact it.
"Perhaps love is not extinct, but mere
ly sleeping. Perchance some day It will
come again to dwell with mortals.
“Until that time—long live equality of
the sexes and common sense!”
Love Forgets Not.—
“Darling,” he said, “I never meant
To hurt you,” and his eyes wet.
“I would not, hurt you for the world:
Am I to blame if 1 forget?”
“Forgive my selfish tears!” she cried,
“Forgive! I knew that it was not
Because you meant to hurt me, sweet—
I knew it was that you forgot!’
But all the same, deep in her heart
Rankled this thought, and rankles yet—
•'When love Is at its best one laves
So much that he cannot forget.”
—Helen Hunt Jackson, in Washington
Mirror.
Entertaining house parties has become
almost as much a feature of the country
life of well-to-do people in America as
it is in England. Americans are natural
ly the most hospitable creatures in the
world: they love to share the good gif’?
which Providence has bestowed upon
them in the way of luxurious iving with
their friends. It is only our inadequate
domestic service, which entails such a
great amount of exertion and worry on
the part of a hostess, that preventsc the
visiting season from becoming a regular
division of the fashionable year, Just as
U is among the English aristocracy. It
Is a question, however, even outside the
servant handicap, which it must be ac
knowledged is a harassing one, whether
the American woman is really a good
hostess. One type feels too great a re
sponsibility about her guests’ enjoyment;
she worries overmuch; her efforts to en
tertain are too obvious, and she mak.-s
her visitors uncomfortable by causing
them to realize that she is exerting her
self too much for her own enjoyment.
The other type that certainly does not
err on the side of unselfishness may be
and Is a. charming companion, but is apt
through thouah'l 1 ssness and inexperience
to neglect the comfort of her guests and

overlook their dispositions and tas;es,
which should be considered and suited.
It may safely be said that out of fifty
women who fill up their houses with vis
itors during the summer not five under
stand how to entertain them properly. A
really good hostess should, as a wel.-
known author expresses it, be like a gen
eral in action—her plan of campaign
should be not only well conceived, but ef
fectually carried out; her eves must be
everywhere; her attention must never
flag; she must have an untiring instinct
that will tell her when things ore dragging
or becoming inharmonious, and she musi
in coming to the rescue have the tact to
know how to restore animation and inter
est. In fact, it may be said to be a safe
rule to lay down that while a hostess
must appear to enjoy herself she must net
really do so; that is he must not go
with the people who m onger.ia! to her;
she must single out those who do not in
terest her, and remember that her party
cannot be sakl to be a success unless ail
who belong to It enjoy themselves.
It Is only at the splendid mansions on
large estates that entertaining becomes
a veritable art. It is comparatively easy
at the big villas at the various summer e
sorts, where outside amusements are pro
vided for, and where it is becoming more
and more the fashion to entertain guests
by leaving them alone to entertain them
selves. At Newport, for instance, it be
hooves a visitor who arrives at an up-to
date establishment to understand the man
ners and customs of the place, otherwise
he \vill either feel neglected or become
o heavy weight on the hands of a good
natured hostess. At Newport a guest is
at liberty to make ail his own engage
ments, irrespective of his host or hostess,
unless they should particularly desire his
presence at some function of their own.
He pays his owr dues at the clubs and
engages his own livery service if he needs
a trap for any particular occasion, while
his entertainers, on the other hand, are
equally free to loave him to his own de
vices if they have social requirements of
their own. At other times, of course, the
entertainers and entertained go around to
gether and make themselves agreeable to
each other, but a guest at a smart house
in Newport is really as free and independ
ent as if he were stopping at a hotel.
“I only wish someone had put me up
to all of these latest wrinkles,” exclaimed
a young woman %vhen the topic of social
ethics was under discussion. "I made my
first visit at Newport last year, and until
I began to understand the ways of the
place was miserable. On the night I ar
rived T dined entirely alone. Mr. and Mrs.
C had an engagement in one direction
and the daughter of the house in another,
while her brother, after telling me he was
sure I wanted to get rid of him, departed
for his club. I sat alone In the large din
ing room with four flunkies to wait upon
me. I could have cried for sheer home
sickness.
“The next day was even worse. Mabe:
C , the daughter, had a luncheon en
gagement, and her mother, who doubt
less wanted to go about her own pleasures,
asked me kindly if I had any friend that I
would like to go and see. After I began
to understand it was the custom, and no
neglect was intended, I plucked up cour
age and ended by enjoying myself im
mensely. but my advice to debutantes i
not to go to Newport without knowing its
traditions."
T. J. Carmody, chairman'of the School
Committee of Holyoke, Mass., has acci
dental developed into a first-class matri
monial agent, says a special to the World.
He played what he supposed to be an in
nocent joke on Henry W. Kirmyer, prin
cipal of "The Flats” Grammar School,
and as a result it is pretty well known
that Holyoke wants only married men
for the heads of its schools.
This is the way Carmody tells the story;
“When the School Committee was mak
ing its regular four of the schools I was
particularly pleased with Principal Kir
myer's school. I couldn't find anything to
criticise, so X had to conjure up something
that the principal might be duly im
pressed with the committee’s importance;
so, turning to Mr. Kirmyer, I said;
“ 'We are very well satisfied with your
work. The school is well kept up and
the discipline good, but there is one thing
we do not like, and the committee of whlc>h
I am the chairman, has decided that
hereafter we will have only married men
for principals. You are not married, are
you, Mr. Kirmyer?’
“ ‘No,’ he answered.
“ 'Or engaged?’
“ 'No,' he blushingly faltered.
” 'Well, we will give you until next Mon
day to get engaged.’
“The following Monday he came to me
and said it was all right; that he was
engaged and would he married soon.”
"The School Committee meets to-night,
and would ydu believe it. Principal Kirmy
er came to' see me this morning and said
he hoped I would not think he had broken
his word, but that he would surely be
married by the first of next September.
Wouldn't we give him a little more time?”
” I had all I could do to keep a sober
face, but managed to reply: “Well, it
makes a difference, you know, whether
the woman is a Holyoke girl or not.
We like our school principals to marry
Holyoke women.’
‘‘Almost in despair he, said: No, she’s
not a Holyoke giri. but sho's just as
good. She came from my home, and she's
the sweetest little woman in the world.'
“I put on all the dignity I could muster
and said rather severely: 'We will con
sider your cJase to-night, Mr. Kirmyer.
Good day..’
“And that's all there is to the story
that no demand our school principals
to he married men. Say, but wasn’t it a
-’ood joke?” said Mr. Carmody, holding
is sides with laughter. “Anyway, I
,iter myself that I have hastened mat
i- a litile. That young lady owes me a
. ger debt than she'll ever be able to
pay."
I Love You Dear.—
A scent of violets in the air,
And singing birds.
A beauty new-born, fresh and fair,
Too deep for words;
A little maid with floral crown
On hair of gold.
And blushing cheeks where lies the kiss
Of lover bold,
Whose boyish lips a story tell
Into her ear,
As, bending low, he whispers soft,
' I love you, dear.”
The breath of roses in the air,
And lilacs sweet,
A sunny sky of azure blue
The morn doth greet;
A maiden crowned with womanhood,
And robed in white.
P,etore the nltar proudly stands,
And answers clear
The one who whispers soft and low,
"I love you, dcar. ft

An old Virginia gentleman arose in a
car the other day, says Leslie’s Weekly,
and with a great flourish of his slouch
hat, offered his seat to a beautiful and
handsomely-dressed woman.
"Take my seat, madam,” he politely
requested. The lady demurred. "Take
my seat. I beg of you, madam.” he In
sisted. "I could not allow a lady to stand,
unless,” he added under his breach, "she
was one of rhose women’s rights people."
The lady bristled visibly. "I,” she said
in a freezing tone, "I am a ‘woman’s
rights person.’ ”
"Take my seat. Just the same, madam.”
said the gallant old gentleman, smilingly;
"you are too good-looking to be suspect
ed of it if you hadn’t confessed.”
Would that some occult perception
might be given us so that we could recog
nize an opportunity when it comes to us
in the guise of some simple everyday oc
currence. For instance, says the New
York Tribune, we might be taking a walk,
and hesitate whether to take a
trolley or an omnibus home—
without any apparent motive we
might decide on the trolley, accidentally
meet someone, and that chance meeting
might be the pivot on which some ad
vantageous circumstance might hinge.
Now, if we had taken the omnibus, all
that would have been missed.
"An odd thing happened to-day,” re
marked a business man to his wife re
cently. "I wanted to get hold of Mr. Mi
das to make some representations to him
in regard to a certain property in which
he is interested. I did not want to go to
see him, as men of his position are gener
ally on the defensive when attacked di
rect, and I was cudgelling my brains in
the elevated how to bring about a pre
sumably chance meeting, when I looked
up and saw him in the same car with me.
I walked over, took the empty seat near
him, and after a little ordinary conver
sation, dexterously led the subject up to
tie transactions I wanted to bring about,
and before we reached City Hall had ob
tained his consent to do what I wanted.
Now, if I had stopped to give you that
money you asked me for this morning
when I was leaving the house, I would
have missed that train, and might have
lost thereby thousands of dollars.”
Whether marriages are made in heaven,
as some assert, or are altogether of the
earth, earthly, no one can say, but that
they often depend on the merest chance
is undeniable. A meeting that might just
as well have not happened, accidental
propinquity that has been brought about
by the merest hap-hazard, mutual attrac
tion that is developed by some incidental
happening, all are the factors that gener
ally change a destiny, and yet we can
never tell what is important and what is
not! A well known author asserts that
if we could only understand the laws of
crises we might be better able to regu
late our actions —that from time to time
our lives culminate to a crisis, and that
nothing done at that, time is important.
Then the crisis bursts and we begin
again, rapidly or slowly as the case may
be, to culminate to another crisis. These
critical periods, according to the writer,
occur with nations and with individuals,
but, alas, he does not give us the key to
reveal the mystery of such chances, and
wo have no choice but to remain in ig
norance of our opportunities.
“Several years ago,” said a New Orleans
lawyer, chatting about queer experiences
In his profession, “a women died in New
Orleans,” says the Times-Democrat, “who
to itiv certain knowledge had made at least
twenty-five different wills. Of course, there
are people in the world who have a mania
for will-making, just as there are manias
in other directions, but there was a dis
tinct method .in this woman’s madness.
She made her numerous wills for the de
liberate purpose of exciting cupidity and
then profiting by It. and if the true story
of the curious complications growing out
of that policy' could be written it would
form an astonishing chronicle of greed and
duplicity.
“To begin with, she had a couple of
pieces of improved property worth per
har.ps $6,000, and a lot of personal belong
ings, which were mere junk and rubbish,
but which she valued at a fabulous figure.
Between the two she was reputed to be
worth from $50,000 to $60,000, and there was
much jealousy as to prospective succession
among a lot of distant relatives.
“The old woman’s plan was to take up
her quarters with some particular set of
her kin and make a will in their favor.
Needless to say, she would be treated w.th
every* consideration, but she was very
irascible, and Invariably into a quar
rel in the course of a few months, and
moved somewhere else, where the same
programme was repeated. She spent years
in migrations of that sort, going the
rounds of her relatives several times and
camping temporarily with numerous per
sonal friends. When she finally died it
was found that her la%t authentic will left
the coveted property to a niece who had
shown her scarcely any attention at all,
anil the wall of rage and disappointment
that rose was something simply terrific.

“When I was a girl,” said grandmamma,
to a New York Tribune representative,
“my sisters and I borrowed fiom each
other as a matter of course. There were
four of us, and as we had not much money
to dress on, we continually helped or were
helped, as the case might be, to meet un
expected contingencies. If one of us went
away for a visit, for example, the rest of
us always expected, as a matter of course,
to contribute anything from our respective
wardrobes that might be needed, and It
never occurred to us that there was any
particular virtue in so doing. Whether
there is less affection nowadays, or
whether It is the mereinary spirit of the
age, I do not know, but the generous and
ever ready assistance that we were al
ways delighted to give, ar.d expected in
our turn to receive, seems to be obsolete
in the families with whom I am brought
in contact now.
“Barter or sale is now the order of the
day among sisters and friends. 'What will
you exchange for that?' 'How much will
you give for this?' I hear my granddaugh
ters continually ask’ng each other. Yes
terday I was invited to an auction sale
which was held at the house of one of
their friends. As an up-to-date perform
ance It was certainly amusing. The auc
tioneer was a tail,fine looking giri, with a
flow of language that could not be sur
passed by any professional vender, and the
clever way she disposed of a lot of trash
was worthy of a better cause. The mer
chandise consisted of dresses, hats and
chiffons that their owners had no further
use for, and the buyers were ail girls in
the some ret of society. Of course there
was no end of fun, end as an entertain
ment it was a great success, but it did
seem to me a very odd performance on the
part of the young ladies.
“The way my granddaughters have of
hiring out their clothes to each other also
strikes me as most extraordinary, and th
percentage these iittie Shylocks exact Is
enormous. ‘I will pay you five cents if
you will let me wear your black stockings
with yellow dots over to golf this morn
ing,' I heard one of iny youngest grand
daughters say to her eistcr yesterday, but
ten cents was finally the price exacted for
a morning's wear. It is ail done good
naturedly, I must admit, and with a goo!
deal of merriment, and I suppose our oil
ways were rather slipshod, but neverthe
less I do not like this modern worldly wis
dom at all.”
Miss Edith Marion Moore of London,
who recently died, executed what was
probably the queerest will ever admitted
to probate in a British court. She had
been long afflicted with paralysis, which
brought on aphasia, a condition in which
she could not express herself by words
and could not give instructions on her
own initiative. On separate cards were
written the names of all her relatives and
these cards were made into'one pack. On
another lot of cards were placed descrip
l ons of each separate piece of property
she possessed. Then the cards were dealt
out to her one at a time from each pack.
When the name of her brother, Arthur
John Moore, was turned up the other pack
was turned over until the card contain
ing the name of her property in Bally
cohy, Ireland, came to the top and she in
dicated by signs that it was her desire
he should have this estate. After all of
of her property had been disposed of In
this way came the selection of an execu
tor. The pack containing the names of
her relatives was gone over again and
she selected the one hearing the name of
her brother Arthur. Apparently she want
ed another executor to be appointed and
the cards were gone over again, but none
of the names seemed to hit her. She tried
to write on a paper the name of the per
sin she wanted, but what she wrote could
not be read, so finally she agreed that
that her brother should be the sole execu
tor. The will was drawn up and read
carffully to her and she affixed her mark
to It.
Two relatives, however, thought that
the will was not duly executed, that It
was not drawn and prepared according
to her instructions and that she did not
approve of Its contents, so they contested
it. The Judge decided that the mode of
arriving at Miss Moore's wishes ' was
novel, well (mentioned, most ingenious
and on the whole satisfactory, and he de
cided that the will should stand, though
he put the costs of the action on the
estate.
She is a very nice little girl, says the
New York Time, and yet she has an im

Ono of these she told to an Interested

“How is your mamma, dear?'’ asked
the neighbor one morning when the lit
tle girl made her appearance.
“She is very sick,” answered the little
girl, earnestly. "Nelly (her sister) and
I were up with her all night. We called
the doctor." But when the kind neigh

a toss of her curls, “Mrs. Blank asks me
every single morning how you are, and 1
get tired of telling her that you are very
well," ,
When she sent in on order of groceries
to a neighbor from Mr. Jones' store, the
neighbor was—well, surprised.
“Why did you do it?" she asked.
"Well." replied the little girl, "It was
such a good Joke on Jones.”

in hand. "Call me ‘Darling,’ ma'am, if
you prefer. That’s my name.”
In the play contemplated as the summer
entertainment given by Irving and Terry
In London, Miss Terry again has to make
stage love to a young man whom she has
watched grow from babyhood to manhood
and distinction.
This time the favored is Fred Terry, who
is the vogue in. England, and he will play
the lover to his distinguished aunt, who
although 52 years old, is sprlghtller, brigh
ter handsomer and more vivacious
than any comedienne in the world fit for
the Olivias and Rosalinds and Portias of
Classic comedy.
"Isn’t it absurd to have Laurence Irving
=ighing and making eyes at me In "The
Amber Heart?’ ” asked Miss Terry, after
a performance of that delicate fantasy.
"Where he rushes at me and pleads fer
vidly for an embrace or a warm glance
from me, I always feel like saying, 'Here
von are, my child; go away and play.’
Why, I have coddled and petted and
taught Laurence since he was a baby.
Seems to me I am always bringing up
new generations of boys who want to be
actors and make love to me.’

Enu (iterator.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.
New York, June 12.—A census ehumera
tor has found a man in Newark, N. J.,
living happily with two wives and two
sets of children. The chief clerk In the
county prosecutor's office said to-day thaj
the case had been brought to the atten
tion of the cx>unty prosecutor, but what
action that official proposed to take in the
matter the clr?rk refused to say.
Owing to the strictness of the census
laws the name of the man has not been
made public, but it is known to the local
authorities. In answer to questions of the
enumerator, the man said he was born
in Germany, and married there twenty
years ago. lie became tired of married
life, and leaving his w ife and four children
behind, he came to this country about ten
years ago. He met a German girl on the
vessel in which he crossed and fell In love
with her, eventually married her, and set
tling in Newark. Two years ago che man’s
first wife came to this country and found
her husband living with wife No. 2. There
was no trouble, the man said, and wife
No. 1 took up h**r residence with her hus
band and wife No. 2. The husband sent
to Germany for the children by his first
wife. lie has had three children by his
second wife. The man told the enumerator
that he got along amicably with the two
wives by dividing his pay between them
every Saturday night. The case has been
reported to the Washington authorities.
