been given, for Southern people are old
fashioned enough to like the gentle conIte-
sy of a toast, the host begged oil MISS
Triplett that she would propose some ones
health, but in her usual calm, immovabie
way she declined. A bit provoked at thie,
he turned to Miss Ould and made the
same request of her. Quickly she sprang
to her feet, held her wine glass IN ner
hand, and smiling as only that fascinating
woman could smile, che bowed to Der IL
val and said: "Grace, Beauty and Youth
make Triplett." 1t is scarcely necessary
to cay that to Hiss Ould belonged
the honOrs of The day.
THE DEAD AND TIE LIVING.
And now-well, now Matte Ould is
sleeping on the banks of the James River
with Der little baby in her arms, and her
grave has for it's cover the daisies she so
we'll loved. When they laid her down,
there was no hymn sung, bat instead four
verses were lifted up and the angels IN
heaven wondered at their sweetness as
they heard them sing her favoEite song,
''Under the Daisies" And the other
beauty? Well, she married rich man.
She is almost as handsome as ever, for
people have to have strong emotions to
lose their good looks, but, after all, ask
any belle of to-day aud she will tell you
that she would rather have died Matte
Guilds death if she could only have had her
life.
MARRIED VIRGINIA BELLE.
Then for several seasons Page Aylott
was belle. With her it was largely the
beauty of expression that charmed, and to
those who knew her well, the kindness OF
heart. To-day she is Mrs. William Royal
of Richmond, who looks so handsome in
the embroidered mulls she so much likes
and who is az much interested in what the
girls are doing and 90 eager to help them
have a good time as if sbe were still among
them. This is pretty phase, this mother
feeling. Somebody said there were nc
mothers in fiction, but evidently he forgot
the stories of Southern life, for even when
Thackeray came to write of THE Virgin
iansD he made the mother heart Of Nine
Esmond respond when her boys were II
trouble and always heat most lovingly fol
the one who suffered the most.
WHERE MEN ARE PLENTIFUL.
Men? Plenty of them. There is never
any scarcity of them down here. They
come season after season as bachelors, bene
diets and fathers. There are few ole
besux who might have lived when Georg'
the Fourth was king, and whose cachet Ii
usually given to the girl who wears the
crown of honor for the season. These ole
beaux like it here; they play at whist anc
count the honors; they compliment 8
mother or her daughter, and the daughter
on her resemblance to her mother. They
are not scoffed at as they would be if they
we're at Saratoga, and the garnet brocadec
velvet waistcOat receives as much admira
tson as if it were low cut one OF The
latest style.
HOW SOUTHERN GIRLS AVOID SCANDAL
Most of the girls ride and ride well, but
their habits are not as masculine looking
as those we see in the park, and they do moi
live up to the standard which requires
them to look like man from their waists
up. Instead, they have liking for great
soft felt hats caught up at one side with 6
fancy buckle or birds wing, and they
can put them on in a way that makes them
look like the Duchess of DevonshiTe her
self Gossip may exist, but scandal Il
! frowned. When there are the babies and
Marcy and that young Northerner and
what papa has written from Richmond
and what grandpapa has written from
Louisville, and the dreadful mistakes that
peoples cooks do make, and the inhospi
tality in not offering visitor glass G.
wine and bit of cake to talk about, how
can there be scandal? That's it, my friend
If you and and my neighbOr concern
ourselves only about our own affairs, scan
dial will become disease as seldom found
as leprosy, and the scandal-monger vii
need to be treated as the leper is-put of
on an island by herself
WHERE MEN CAN FIND GOOD WIVES.
Dol then think the girls at the ''Olt
White the most desirable Of ali? Yes
l do. Do think her without faults? No
l do not. But they are faults that are es
sentially womanly-faults that are wiped
out in time by her many viTtues-fault'
that when she is good wife and good
mother are forgotten, and she is certain u
be these. Her quick temper will be in
valuable in her rule over the kitchen and
also a little aubdued; it will serve to make
her train up her children in the way they
should 90. Her sentimentality lessons as
she grows older, bat there is always
enough of it to make her husband fee
that she values his love. So that after all
the men in search of wife had better come
here where the air is clear and where hi
will have the extreme pleasure Of seeking
the girl rather than letting her regard him
as her prey. And men want TO do the
hunting, don't they? BAB.
