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 .i.iii. i.m. 11,1 \ f I [ibility, fabrics, wearing M \ y I F* qualities, at and detoil of.

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.

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.

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 agination so vivid that people can’t help wondering once in a while what is going to become of It. The little girl can and does tell tho most marvelous tales, and when she Is reproved she is entirely com placent and cannot see that her effective Inventions nre anything more than Jokes. Ono of these she told to an Interested neighbor at whose house she called fre quently. “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 bor went In haste to seo her sick friend she found her In every respedt as well as ever . “Why did you tell kind Mrs. Blank such a story about me?” asked mamma serious ly of her lettle girl at the first opportun ity. “Well, mamma," said the little girl, with 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.” i Ume. Sarah Grand, nays the New York Times, has been interviewed in England concerning the rational dress eye ing and ehe says there is no other suitable cos tume. She first learned to ride in Paris, and. going to the school there, dressed in what in England was considered an ap propriate costume, found that the eve.ing teacher objected He was not willing to teach any one to ride with the chances of accident aggravated by skirts. H s pupils wished to learn, and as he was Arm, the only thing to do was to dress as he desired. Once wearing tfoe costume no other could be thought of. and row Mm*. Grand goes to the continent for cycling because he raiional dress obtains ther "No one ' she says "should dream f cycling any more than riding horseba without the proper dress." The Fren h women, she suvs. wear their rationale or walking, and on the moors wearing a 10.. g tunic or short skirt which they discard at the first opportunity. Some of the ra tional suits which have been worn in Eng land Mme. Grand describes as ideal and says the wear era make a really elegant appearance. An unnaturally small waist, with the Increased size above and below it, has a ridiculous appearance, one! it is necessary to preserve the natural figure. "I don’t say that extremely stout women look well in rationals.’’ continues Mme. Grand, "but I never find that extremely stout people ’.ook particularly well iti any style of dress.” Mme. Grand advocates the rational dress for business women and for walking on muddy, windy days in the city. "1 suppose,” she adds, "that if one of the Princesses rode the wheel in ra tionals every one would follow and the objection would scon fade away.” A Memphis woman, says a Memphis pa per, whose Christian name is Jane and whose little daughter Is named after her. engaged a housekeeper who is **lbo named Jane. Thinking that three Janes in one house hold might cause confusion, the lady said to the newcomer, who was a tall, angular woman, with a rigid air and an uncompro mising cast of countenance: "I think, Jane, it will be better for mo to call you by your last name, if you have no ob jection. ’ "No’m; I Wave no objection," said the housekeeper, standing stiffly erect, valise 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.

Singular Cane Found Uy a Cennnn 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.
