THE JWSTLER OF ROME, SUNDAY SEPTEMBER 16 1894
FOR WOMEN FOLKS
THE LAST ARRIVAL.
Thirty Summer Girls Were Waiting
for a Man, and Guess What
Happened?
The Summer was over, the sea
s<>n about ended, and thirteen
Summer girls sat on the hotel ver
anda lotkihg dcwu the road to
ward the railroad depot.
It had been a long, long season,
there had been thirteen Summer
girls at that mountain resort from
the opening of the season. Now
and then a young man had come
up to stay for a fortnight to help
his hay fever, been attacked by
those thirteen Summer girls en
masse and fled after tweuty-foui
hours. Now and then a married
man, realizing the loneliness of the
situation, had sought to heighten
things; but, alas, his wife was
there to nip his gocd intentions in
the bud.
The hotel bus had gone to the
depot in answer to a telegram. The
thirteen girls were watching for
its arrival. There was yet a faint
ray of hope. Some young man
might have secured a week’s vaca
tion at the last moment. Some old
bach might take in this resort to
end the season. Some widower
might be coming that way to let
the mountain breeze blow off the
edge of hi? grief.
“There comes the bus!” shout
ed thirteen voices in chorus as the
vehicle toiled slowly up the hill
side.
“I’ll bet he’s a young man!”
“If it is, we’ll draw lots for
him!”
“I h«pe it’s a widower with a
weed on a white plug hat !”
“The driver is waving his hand
—it must be a good-looking young
man! Girls, get ready to cheer
his arrival!”
Thirteen Summer girls gasped
for breath and trembled. Thir
teen pairs of blue, black and hazel
eyes watched the vehicle slowly ap
proach. Every second seemed ten.
On on, on came the bus, and at
length it halted at the platform
—the door opened and the last ar
rival of the season appeared.
Th' j re was a shudder, a long-drawn
groan, and then thirteen pairs of
hands went up and thirteen voices
wailed out in dismal chorus:
“Bang my bangs if it isn’t a gid
dy old grass widow!”
Across The Dinner Table.
“A great drawback to the ad
vancement of women is the lack of
pockets,” said the real esta’e man
oracularly, as he sat down the salt
sifter with a thump.
“You may laugh, and you maj’
call it a chestnut, but I tell you
the fact has born in on me lately
with renewed force.
When a woman has to give her
whole mind to taking care of her
pocketbook she cant be expected
to have any brains leftjfor anything
important. By Jove! if I had to
carry something valuable in my
hand for half a day while I was
running about sizing up lots and
brownstone fronts, I’d be a raving
lunatic before night.
“You women are keen enough to
get up and demand your right to
the ballot; why don’t you rise as
one man and demand your’right to
a pocket?’
“Well, you see rising as one man
would be utterly useless; indeed,
it would be the height of folly,”
responded the Vassar girl.
“A dressmaker never stands in
fear of men, and" as for one man—
why. she’d laugh him to scorn. No,
the only thing is to rise as twenty
thousand women, and you see that
isn’t easy. It’s a good deal easier
to wait until she gets ready to
give ue the pockets ’’
“Well, I—wel —’’
The real estate man’s sentence
ended in something like a mixture
of ga s P, sniff and grunt He
was evidently too full of salad
and indignation fcr utterance.
“It seems to me I can see why
women haven’t got the ballot;”
chimed iu the lawyer. “There’s a
screw loose somewhere, and they
are not ready for it.
•‘WLen they are independent
enough to insist on pockets and
carrv their money like men—”
“Well, you see, they can’t car
ry it like men—at least, not like
some men—because they—they
don't wear trousers,” put in the
white, with considerable diffidence
and hesitation.
“There are about fourteen other
pockets besides those particular
ones in a man’s wardrobe. I'm not
insisting on any special pocket.
“But I do say that the woman
who is compelled to wear her hand*
kerchief up her sleeve or go with
out one, and to carry her money
in her hand, or go without that,
simply because her dressmaker
thinks her gown looks better with
out pockets, isn’t ready for any
more rights than she’s got. She
can’t take and use those that al
ready belong to her. Now, if we
men wouldn’t let you have pock*
ets”
“That reminds me of a little
story,” broke in the lieutenant.
“You see, Mrs. Dedgers is one
of those women without pockets,
and who gives her whole mind to
carrying her pocketbook in her
hand.
“She was down at Atlanta City
and the sea didn’t do her the good
she had expected it would, mainly
owing to the care of that pocket
book.
“Her husband went down to
bring her home, and on his arrival
she heaved a sigh of relief, princi
. pally from the fact of knowing
that he would then assume the
duties of treasurer, whereupon she
opened her trunk, dropped in the
incubus of her existence, other
wise her alligator, silver-tipped
pocketbook, and slammed down
the trunk lid, locking it with a
; glad jubilant click.
“After the trunk was checked
and put in the baggage car, and it
wanted just about one minute of
train time, Mrs, Dedgers happened
casually to remember that her hus
. band had given her both his ticket
and her own, and they were safely
stored away in that purse in the
trunk.
“The conductor was interviewed,
but he, not being a professional
mind reader or clairvoyant, was
just stupid enough not to be able
to see into the trunk, and hard
and unsympathetic enough not to
take Mr. and Mrs. Dedgers’ word
for it.
“It was a trying moment.
Can’t you let me go in the baggie
car ami open the trunk 1 ?” he asked.
“Well, but you see you can’t get
in there except by crawling through
a little hole scarcely big enough to
let your body through.’
“Mr. Dedgers reflected, and Mrs
Dedgers implored him with tears
in her eyes not to risk his life for
the tickets.
“Then Mr. Dedgers gave his dear
partner a withering look, and re
marked that life didn’t hold
for him many charms after all, and
he might as well die one time as
another.
“Well, he concluded to do it,
and there was one moment when it
was a question whether he or the
role would come out ahead, and
lis coat hung by a single thread.
3ut he got in there, jammed his
fingers, sprained his wrist, and
lore his pants hauling those trunks
around. Still, he got the tickets,
and that was something.
“Mr. Dedgers’ views regarding
women’s pockets, I am sorry to
say, are now quite as radical and
extreme as those of the real estate
man.”
Heard and Overheard
Everywhere—That the modern
girl is an extraordinary cieature
in her supreme selfishness; she
thinks the world is made for girls,
and the Summer especially,
In the World—That the taste for
dressing in manish fashion comes
to a woman either very earlyjin
life, before she has fallen a vic
tim to frills and fripperies, or late
in life, when she affects to despise
them.
In a Boudoir—That maidens with
“soft moonlike eyes,” exist only m
novels, and mostly Japanese novels
at that,
Grace before Clothes.—That ‘‘l
wish you health and wealth and
weather to wear them.”
In the Theatrical World—That
Lillian Russeil is not a g' nu ; nel\
handsome woman—she is only a
i bromo.
On the Street. -That the I elle
mode are affecting two trills, one
of while lace with black spots, the
other ot brown lisse
In Vanity F ir—That Mis o'-
don Mills, is u»uai!y regarded as
the best dressed woman in society.
In the C> ding Worhl.—That the
Baroness de Seilliere. is a recent
c ’overt to the wheel; she wears
seal brown, with a little black bon
net perched jauntily on her silver
hair.
Overheard, —“Why doe? a woman
always say No - when she means
‘Yes'?lu order not to miss the lux
ury of changing her mind
In England.— T hat among the
odes iu honor of the new baby is
oue which should turn the author
into a laureate ;
OTootsicunn! toothless and tiny!
O baby, so royally bred!
Whose head is sopinkily ishiny,
Whose mouth as a rosebud is red.
