THE MODERN EVE.

rope.
A New York World correspondent,
writing from Monaco, noted gambling
place on the Mediterranean, says:
Among the curiosity-seekers are many
women, escorted about on the arms of
friends, and apparently looking on for a
time with sentiments of disgust. But lit
orally it is here, and with these women,
''only the first step that COSTS" for the next
night look again, and these same women
will be found at the same table, installed,
perhaps, between a servant discharged from
one of the hotels and a miserable fellow
Wrangling about his bets. -s.-....
Everybody, in sooth, seems in time to fall
stricken with mad frenzy for play-the old
as well as the young-and fools appear no
more liable to it than those reputed for sa-
gacity. We have seen succnmb finally to it
even men who, tranquil and confident Of
their own selfcommand, were full of COM
passion for the madness of others.
About II o'clock bell is heard, and a
crowd rush unanimously toward the militia
~ station. But for some time later the
place is still thronged with people, includ-
ing those poor unfortunates who, having
lost their all, are unable to get away, and
have no other lodging places but the gard
ens-professional gamblers, pawnbrokers,
faded files de jOie,and those other nameless
creatures that grow in the shade of gam
bling house like toad stools on muck heap.
These, however, gradually stink away into
their sew eral dens and lurking places, the
music is hushed, and all the lights are eX-
tinguished except Of the fire flies among
the feathery leaves of the palm trees.
All this is repeated night after night.
The scene is ever the same, with unchang-
ing decorations; the catastrophe never
varies; materially only the mad actors are
shifted.
Those who knew the Corniche in former
years, when all these little towns had their
peculiar, indescribable grace and charm, a.
though, indeed, Monaco was the gem of all,
would now miss that delightful individu-
ality, for the railway and central licensed
gambling casino here at Monaco have made
them suburbs of this place.
OF course, the bank, like all other gAmb-
ling banks, as rule wins, though now and
then the tickle goddess allows the light OF
her countenance TO fall upon some of the
outside gamblers, and then there is much
excitement, and not unfrequently a regular
scene. The other day four American
shsrpers succeeded in getting a very heavy
turn on the bank. The croupiers accused
the lucky parties Of having begun the game
with counterfeit notes, and on that ground
refused to pay them the last stakes, amount
ing to upwards of 100000; whereupon the
Yankees drew their reYolvers and took for
chile possession of the money. As there is
no police in Monaco, they were not molested
any further, and consequently went on their
way rejoicing.

bis disputatious crankness into violent and
Iunsolcited opposition to our humors than
be has to assault US bodily. We have our
opinion, and he win not let US have It In
peace. u We must have fis} and swallow It
upon compulsion, without a particle OF
courtesy to take the bitterness out Of the

ties. Long ago there was chance OF his
being shot by gentleman who did not
care TO be described as lar or dolt, in
ferentially or otherwise; but now man in
sn argument may almost say anything,
and be receives encouragement from the
immunity he enjoys for impertinence.
What renders it so difficult to
put up with the srgufying man
is the circumstance that he never
contends for Truth, but for triumph.
This is plain enough from the
dishonest and uncandid way In which he
goes to work. He viii grant nothing; never
confesses to the most palpable hit, though
you have bent your foil against his pad half
a dozen times in a. many minutes; and he
never knows when to stop, He is not sat-
isfed with an imaginary victory. When
ever he thinks you are down because you
are silent, he gives you sort of verbal
kick to rouse you for another combat. 10y
ola was simpleton to him in casuistry. He |
has the trick of escape possessed by that |
fish who can hide from his enemies by ex-
Hding preparation which renders the water |
dark and obscure. Without having spe-
cific acquaintance with topic which 1t may
be In your line or your bent to under |
stand, he is still ready to contradict
doctor in medicine or a composer in coun-
terpart. He bristles with paradoxes and hs
is an srtful imposter in the method in
which he conducts his business. He starts
with knowing little or nothing of the sub
iect on which he desirest to argufy. But, as
the Attorney General said OF the claimant,
be picks your brains as you go along. Be
sides If he can only confound you with
your own words and statements, his citation
is all the greater. "Stop now, sir 1 have
you there, sir just now you said that
now you say that; the two things cannot
be true" This, you will perceive, he may
effect, though in total ignorance of the
theme on which he has driven you into an
engagement. On the whole, the argufying
man, it is obvious enough, is a parsonage
to be avoided. Fly him, if you can at all
with convenience.

AN OBFUsTIUArING ORDER,

A Cleveland woman not long ago mod
estly requested her husband to go to the
dressmaker and tell her that she (the wife)
had changed her mind, and would have the
watered silk instead ofthe poplin, and "that
if she thinks it would look better with ten
biased fiounces without putting, and box
plated below the equator, which should be
gathered in hemstitched gudgeons up anu
down the seams, with gusset stitch be-
tween, she can make it up in that way, in
stead Of futing the bobinette insertion and
piecing out with point applique as l sul-
gested yesterday"

THE YANKEE.
How He Figures In Books and on
the Stage.

NltC
From Fraser's Magazine (English).
One explanation of our ignorance of the
social characteristics of the Americans may
be found IN the fact that our impressions Of
them are partly derived from the books of
travellers who, in hurried journeys through
the States, have simply noted such superb
cial traits of the people as came under their
observation in hotels, railroads and steam
boats; but also, in still greater degree, con-
ceive, from those British works of fiction in
which natives of the United States have been
introduced, the individuals therein de-
lineated being very generally accepted
by The majority OF readers as fair types OF
the American figures in either an odious
or a ridiculous aspect. To say nothing OF
those portions of "Martin Chuzzlewit" the
scene of which is laid in the United States,
may mention Richard Avernal in Bulwer's
"My Novel," the Colonel in Levers "One
of Them" Fullalove in Charles Reade's
every Hard Cash." the Younger Fenton in
Yates rBlack Sheep" and the American
in "Mugby Junction" In every instance,
whether represented as man of good social
position and presumably fair education, or
not, he is made to express himself in
dialect happily combil ing all the pecu-
liarities of speech of each section OF the
country from Maine 10 Texas, and such as
it may be safely affirmed was never yet
heard from the lips Of any one human be-
ing. 1t is the same on the stage. In "Our
American Cousin" Lord Dundreary is ac-
cepted for what it is, an exceedingly clever
representation Of an individual idlosyerasy.
Asa Trenchard, on the other hand, is re-
ceived by the audience as a fair type not
only of class but of a PEOPLE. Yet MIR.
Blackstone, excellent as he is in his own
line, so from giving a fair likeness of the
Yankee, does not even presenta caricature
ofhim; that is, il caricature be understood
in its proper sense, ., g., the
humorous or ridiculous exaggeration
Of features or habits OF the
individual or species. Asa Trenchard on
the Haymarket stage is simply vulgar
cocSney, with habit of speaking through
his nose, and it appears strangely inconsis-
tent that delics.e-Ininded, refined woman
like Mary Meredith should tolerate the ad-
dresses of such man. When the play in
question was originally produced in New
York, Jefferson, of Rip Van Wrinkle fame,
was the Asa Trenchard, and in his hands
the character became fair, unszaggerated
type of the native of New England, cool,
clear-headed, brave, warm-hearted, but ig-
norant of the conventionalities of society.
Here it would have been cGUdire to the
mass of play-goers, their preconceived
idea Of the character being SO totally differ
ent.

A WOMAN'S VEIL.


1t was fun many a season since,
When was summering at Cape May;
They had foolish fashion then
Mayhap they have the same to- day
That every lady in the dance,
Ii pleased with any, should not fail
Unto tbs partner she preferred,
To give her veil.
And there was one mind me of,
Whose name-well, never mind her name;
Helen or Alice, Blanche or Maud,
To you who read will be the same.
But that old fashion Of the wells,
HAPPY recalls the past, and stirs
Memories that cluster round the night,
She gave me hers.
She flushed, poor child, in giving It,
And 1. too, felt my brow grow warm.
As laughingly, with fingers deft,
She knOtted il about my arm;
And though the color on her cheek
Was like the light in morning skies,
l thought ! saw a holier dawn
Within her eyes.
The dance was over, and we strolled
Out from the ball rooms glittering press,
To meet the breeze that many armed
Clasped each one in cool cares;
And sauntering on we reached the sea
The far waltz music's cadence sweet,
Mixed with the sound of waves that died
ABOUT our 1eeL
We talked OF what now forget,
But carelessly, or seeming so;
Next day was to leave but then
In town we'd meet again, you know.
All, weil-a-day! the gods dispose,
And ruined hopes are worse than vain.
She laughed gOod-hy-I never saw
her face again.
Time changes us not for the best,
Though grief sometimes defeats his art,
And keeps q little patch spring green
In the white winter of the heart.
And mine, though colder grown with years.
Feels that il is not frozen quite,
As memory goes wandering back
To that June night
And sometimes on the summer ewes,
Within my chamber all alone,
j watch the moon rise DER the roofs
And think j hear the ocean tone;
And through the smoke Of my cigar
See loves and joys have not met,
That, As they vanish in the haze,
Leave my cheeks wet.
Life's a sad puzzle, and our hearts
Grow faint in searching for the clue;
She went before at twenty-five.
And live on at fifty-two--
And wait the end; for well know
That | shall meet her without fail,
On some spring morning-and till then
I keen thp veil

Twining the sweet rose-vine.

The rose leaves fiuttering DER head.

And if that one you refuse
The sweetest, brightest, best of all

"Come gather your rose yourseltl" said she
Turning her blushing face from me.

And clasping her hand in mine,
Gathered my rose all close to me
Under the fragrant vine.

THE origin of the popular saying: "Those
who live in glass houses shouldn't throw
stones" is interesting. At the union of
England and Scotland, Gin 1907, we beliege),
great numbers of Scotchmen focked to
London. Buckingham hated the Scotch
bitterly, and encouraged marsuders to
break the windows of houses occupied by
them. Some of the sufferers retaliated by
breaking the windows of the dukes house,
which had 60 many that it was called the
"Glass house." The duke complained to
the king, and the monarch replied sab,
