Something Wrong With the Female
Ascetics-Engiisn Taste.
New York S.sr.
Somebody asked me the other day who
were the happiest women, and I've been
thinking il GU. ever since. The con-
clusion have come to Is that she is the
happiest woman who is not too handsome.
don't mesn thst she shall be disagree
able looking, and she must have certain
charm Of manner, but by her lack OF
beauty she can keep the loveliest Of
women friends and no jealousy
arises, while she Is always q
pleasant comparison. The woman who
is not great beauty does not need
to anticipate growing old with that hor.
ror that must come to her who knows
that 1t means the loss Of her greatest St
traction. I have always made thanks
giving every night that Providence xr-
ranged that should be born south Of
Mason Dixon's line, bat now add to
my thanks the fact thst nature did not
make me beautiful. One can only feel this
way after one has become-how old?
The WON an without beauty is going to
try to be something else, for in the heart
of every woman figure without Roman
lines and q c,lliope voice, there Is de-
sire to be considered the incest IN the
world by somebody. And il the woman
is worth penny she prefers that some
body to be man.
E I wouldn't trust woman who told me
she didn't care for mems society. There
is something wrong with her. She's
absolutely ABNORMAL, and certain to come
to wrong end. Even beating will not
take from q right minded woman her in
born liking for mankind in general and
man In special. There has never been
one Of these women who cared only for
the society Of women who wasn't fretful,
tiresome, unhealthy in mind and body,
and altogether 5 burden to the earth.
Women should like women, Of course;
but they Should like men better. It's
horrid slang to say they're built that way,
but it's the only thing which absolutely
expresses it.
You should have been ut Del's last Sun
day night and seen an Englishwomsn in
full evening dress. Even the walters
locked scared. Every man, woman and
spook in that room was staring at her,
and yet there she sat, perfectly uncon-
cerned and evidently believing that she
was the only properly dressed woman in
the place. Downright bsd dressing snd
. stupidity that Is appalling meet with
the average Englishwomsn. They have
vanity thst is sublime and lack of wit
that Is insunersble. They only know
how to dress well on one occasion, and
that Is dinner. This woman would have
been all right in private house, but who
in the world ever told her that 1t was
to fx11Y fn MI
Engllshmen are the only
men In the world who do know now to
dress, but there the knowledge stops.
Don't you remember how Lady Du6erin
used to wear her old tulle ball dresses to
church, And are You surprised that
Worth prefers to sell his gowns to Amer
lean womenf Englishmen think that
women ought not to dress too wall-they
think 1t Is improper. 1t is curious how
all the Englishman's pride IL in his trap
and the gloss, shspe and speed Of hi,
horses, while thu Frenchman Is o thou
sand times better satisfied II he is told
that madame is the best dressed and best
looking woman st the Champs Elysees.
One takes pride and pleasure In the
dumb snimal while the other nlds
most charming human being who can
amuse him and distract him from all his
worries while she charms and satisfies his
eyes.
am going to have dog-he'e lady's
bulldog. He Will undoubtedly inherit
the fine qualities Of his mother, who is
most charming person, possessing ne end

the grace Of O Princess Mstternich; size

Lsngtry, and she's as well bred and
as courteous as even Chesterfield would
desire. This is the mother OF the coming
