Park, that beautiful new race course to
which all kinds and conditions of turtles
are now focking in great multitudes. The
Coaching Club asked for and secured the
allotment of reserve, in which the gaudy
vehicles and gay passengers might have
room sacred to themselves. Now, it might
reasonably be supposed that seclusion was
desired. All, not sol The space fenced cf
for the Coaching Club is not deemed salts
factory to the ladies, and the objection
which they make is that they are too far
from the grand stand to be seen by the null
titude. They are out for display, and a
change of location is to be made to enable
them to get it.
SHE COACHES ASPIRING WOMEN.
Society is aware of q very elegant lady
living in apartments, whose vocation it is to
coach people Tor society. She is of an old
New York family, has all the ancient scan
dals at her tongues end, can give fine points
on the marriages and lntermarriages OF
everybody worth knowing about, can tell
just who Mrs B. and Mr.. Z. are, who the
proud Mrs G. was before her marriage, how
ply all the small gossip that will make the
newcomer appear to the manor born. She
also has an excellent stock of stories at hand,
Just the thing for luncheons or dinners; will
get YOU up in the latest book, tell. you the
origin of authors and contributions of the
day, and the thousand and one things that
STUPID or underbred people are glad to
know.
She makes money and charges S5 an hour
for her information. having all the pupils
she can attend to. One woman who applied
for entrance to the society school was a
rather rough sort of a creature, and during
several lessons she was treated entirely for
upardonable gaucheries of manner. Finally
the discussion of families was taken up, and
the pupil inquired about certain woman
who had become famous for her snowy en-
tertainments, but who was not regarded. by
the pretentious mob as very desirable ac-
Qualntance.
"Oh, she is an impossible" said the
instructor. "Her father made his money
stufing sausages.' .. p. &C.,.
.s. ONLY A WASTE OF TIME
Goodness, then I'm wasting my time" I"
exclaimed the pupil. my husband owns
sausage factory"
The teacher of social customs nearly
tainted at this, and agreed with her pupil
that it would not be wise, under the cir
cumstances, to continue the lessons.
"If you can prevail upon your husband"
Madam" she said, 'to abandon sausages
and take up something clean, you might
then come back to me. But can assure
you that the wife of q sausage maker will
never be permitted to step over the thres-
hold of desirable New York house so long
as dogs are regarded with so much affection
by our most refined families"
So the lady has given up the etiquette
lessons, according to this story, which really
isn't too absurd to be true in our imitation
aristocracy.
Everybody was pushing and clawing
everybody else in the endeavor to get into
the trains on the return from the Morris
Park race track. 1t was turbulent place
for a woman to find herself in, and when
noticed one of the most fashionable and
prettiest of society girls, in company with
the youth whose bride she will soon become,
being jostled and hauled about in the
roughest and most irreverent manner, /
with her in her discomfort, and
wondered why the young man, with his ex-
treme notions of living in higher world of
form than is occupied by common people,
should have exposed his fancee to such
dIsagreeable experience.
PEEvIsH AND PETTY.
The young lady took it all with such bad
grace, however. that I soon lost my SYM
pathy for her. With an indescribable ex-
preston of disdain and anger on her face,
shee peevishly scolded her escort for having
got her into such a place, and said such
things as would be sure to disgust him with
her if he has any spirit whatever. Her
principal complaint was that some of their
friends, who had gone home in carriages,
might see her and despise her. As the train
fattled across country toward Harlem this
young women got lesson that ought to do
her some good, though, as 1t was in progress,
she seemed displeased and disguised by its
beauty.
The cars were packed to their utmost limit,
and therefore when someone groaned and the
crowd became conscious that someone was
fainting in the middle of one of the cars
there was considerable CONSERVATION. 1t
was a young man, and his limp figure was
being supported by q handsome, lustrous-
eyed girl of not more than 49, who was evil

but the spirit of the noblest of women |
sprang up in the girl at that moment, and |
the crowd had chance to see what wife of |
the right sort can do at crisis. The girl |
did not speak word, but began a struggle |
toward the door. carrying her burden with |
net. AhC AAAtuIO vi lulscIy, lOV6 ana |
bravery in her conduct was one of the pref |
tiest things have ever seen.
AN INSULT AND SILENT REBUKE.
Tears fell from her eyes, and yet the |
muscles OF her face were set firmly, and as |
she bored path through the compact throng |
she kept her cheek as close as possible to her |
whispering words of encourage |
ment The crowd did not help her, in fact |
it could not do SO. except by pressing back |
as possible to let her reach the platform.
Finally she reached the air, and everybody
was saying how plucky she was, and the |
young man had shown signs of recovering
under the influence OF the fresh breeze. Ali |
this time the society beauty was moaning
over the additional discomfort that the eI-
element had>put her to, and when her hus-
band elect proposed offering his brandy flask |
to the sufferer, she stopped him, saying:
"Csn't you see, he is drunk already"
The words were heard by the wife of the |
fainting man, and she turned her flushed
face to the fashionable girl, her brilliant
eyes burning with anger. She did not |
speak, however, only placing her face still |
closer to her husbands. She was certainly |
