What Men Like in Women.

There is certain something, which,
for want of a better name, is called
womanliness, and it is that which
makes women attractive to men. A
great many virtues go to make up this
one great possession and they are what
men like in women.
Men like, in the first place,
amiability in women.
They like a pleasant appearance.
They like the doing of little things
that are pleasant to them.
They like the courtesy Of the fire.

They like an ability TO talk veil "a "a
a knowledge of the virtue of silence.
They like motherliness big enough
to understand the wants of the older,
as we'll as the younger boys.
They like a disposition to speak
good, rather than evil of every human
being.

willing ear for the tale of sorrow or
gladness.
They like knowledge of how to dress
well which, by-the-bye, does"'t mean
conspicuously. Men are I1ost at

draperies and quiet colors; not by
snowy colors or designs.
They like intelligence, but they pre-
fer that the heart be stronger than the
brain.
They like companion-a woman
who has sufficient knowledge of the
world and its ways to talk well with
them, who is interested in their lives
and their plans and in their hopes;
who knows how TO give cheering

Fashion Notes.

Long wells grow longer ana fuller.
Velvet is the favo"ite finish for light
wool gowns.
Toques are so small they fit the head
almost like II jockey cap.
Plaid percales, sateens, and challies
appear among other tartan stuffs.
The sailor hat and the polo cap are
as popular this spring as last, or more
so.
The high front trimming on capotes
is preferred and it is the most becom-
ing.
Bonnets are almost covered with
wreaths and sprays of flowers this sea-
son.
The mohairs and alpacas will have
another run OF popular favor this sum-
mer
Flower bows, flower bonnets, and
flower necklaces are worn by brides
maids.
The variety in shoulder capes equals
or exceeds that in jackets and long
wraps.
The low coiffures grows in fashion,
able and popular favor. Tie top knots
are coming down.
The small bonnet remains the fash
ionable favorite with matrons as we'll
as with young ladies.
The high-crowned hat has not dis
appeared completely from the ward
robe effects of the summer girl.
Deep, round, plated white Pierrot
collars are very fashionable for little
girls, and also for young ladies.
RULED shoulder capes with velvet
yokes rival in popular favor those en-
broidered yokes and colors and accord
eon-plaited founces.
The outing cloths and tennis fannels
come in lovely clustered and shaded
stripes, the colors being more subdued
and refined this season.
Wristbands, collars, and cuffs OF
silver, gold, or steel or copper passe-
menterie are the only decorations seen
on some very chic cloth gowns.
Some Of the new long gloves have a
gold Corr: run through the eyelets cut
in the top. Each end of the cord is
decorated with a golden tassel or little
bell.
In every fashionable audience, con-
gregation, or company there is seen a
larger quantity of blue than any other
one color. So blue is coming up in

WAVERLAND.
A Tale OF Our Coming Landlords.
BY SARAH MABIE BRIGHAM.
Copyrighted, 1886.
CHAPTER S.-CoNTINUED.

"Ha, ha, you haven't cut your eye teeth
yet" laughed Lord Sanders. "Why, every
clause enacted by the Illinois Legislature
has been in favor of the landlords. You
cannot find tenant in Ireland that is
bound under such strict laws as my ten
ants in Illinois are"
"Then God pity them" said
''It seems TO me-" said Colonel Haynes
"that about the time Ireland is .ree from
English landlords America will be pretty
well burdened with them. The thought is
repulsive. We love to call our land, 1.-The
land of the free and the home of the
brave" Our forefathers fought and suf
fered hundred years ago to make it 0
nation of homes. But not one drop OF
precious blood was ever given to make it 0
trading ground for English capitalists OF

"Well, don't get excited" said LORD
Sanders, going to the Colonel and placing
his hand upon his shoulder in the most
familiar manner. Owe pay for the lands
we get, and we have u right to buy where
ever we choose. And, then, we have a right
to use our own property as we wish. Nc

FRAUD.

Evidence is accommodating which shows that the election returns have been doc tored to an enormous extent at the ex pense of the Socialist Labor party, The reports of our captains in the Four teenth Assembly District gave an aggre- gate of 32G Socialist votes in that dis trict, whereas the returns as published give only 215 votes Likewise, upon similar testimony our organization of the Seventeenth Assembly District claims 320 votes instead of l07. In the Eleventh Assembly District the fraud is self, evident, one vote only being credited to Delabar.

What is "SoCaIsm with indivduals;' What is Socialism by the State:" Where did Dcpew ever sec either? What is that liberty with which Socialism is incompatible? What are the institutions that Socialism cannot sur vive? Is the New York Central an insti. tuition that could survive Socialism?

THAT SCHOOL ISSUE.

In a letter dated Oct, 21, and addressed for political effect to a soCaiIed Teach CTS Mutual Benefit Association, Mayor Grant had the audacity to make the following statement: Il have done everything in my power to secure pro per school accommodation for the Chil- dreu of this city, At the same time his "triend9' were sending out to voters their inIorsement of him, on the ground that he had reduced the tax rate. re paved many streets built new wharves and increased the public school ac- commodations'
 This is the same Mayor Grant who, ten months ago, upon bemg asked by the reporter of tine l'olkS.cjtpng what he intended to do to remedy the lack of school accommodations acknowledged his utter ignorance of the fact that twenty thousand children had been denied admission in the public schools of this city, yet refused to take coSni- zance of the said fact when it was off cially brought to his notice by the School Conference, but voted away the school funds for the purchase of certain piece of real estate which belonged to a poiiti- cal crony of his.

A GRAND SIGHT.

The campaign had many humorous as well as suggestive features Great among these was the exhibition upon the stage at the Cooper Union last Sa- turday evening, when Dr, McGIynn supplemented one of his usual orations against Tammany with an urgent call upon his hearers to vote the Fusion ticket. One of the Doctors most impas- stoned passages, in which he suhstau- taIIy declared that uo good man could, would or should vote for any but the fusion candidates, was boisterously ap. pauded by several candidates of another party the so.called Commonwealth - who had seats on the platform; Mir. Au- gustus A. I.evty, the Commonwealth candidate for Coroner, SherlH or County Clerk, being among the most demon stratlve in manlfesting appreciation,
 Another humorous incident occurred then and there when the Doctor de- clared in very expressive language that the principal work done by the existing political factions in the city, next to stealing, was to debauch workingmcn with offices. John McMackin and John Realm, both of whom are standing and crying illustrations of the truth of the Doctors remarks, also had seats on the platform; and the gusto with which, from their conspicuous places. they ap- plauded what to any one else might have sounded as direct denmciation of themselves, was rich to behold.
 Altogether, the platform at Cooper Union presented on that evening tab lcaux fit for ntck> and hmchcS

the most effective form of open air meetings. In that district our candidate for Mayor boiled l,05s votes, whereas in the Twenty-third, which is contiguous, larger in population and composed of identical clements, hut where no open air meeting was held, owing to the lack of English-epeaking agitators, he pOled only 3G0 votes, A glance at the returns shows, in fact, that the vote cast fur the Socialist candidates WAS everywhere in proportion to the work done; and we may from this imagine-as we intimated in previous issues-what the result might have been If some system could l have been devised, through which the l Socialist Lahor party of the whole coun- l try had concentrated it's financial and intellectual powers, its funds and it's speak CTS, upon the city of New York during this campaign. We should have had here, for a fortnight, every Socialist agitator from Boston and other places, where the Socialists had no ticket in ne field.
 Our comrades in the neighboring city of Brooklyn deserve to be congratulated upon the result achieved there by them with means far more insignificant still ! than those at our command in New York. Hastily and badly organized in two or three wards only, they cast l,5OO straight Socialist votes, thus largely surpassing their highest previous record
 We have no news, as yet, from other points in this State, such as Rochester, Buffalo, Albany, Troy, Ionkcrs, etc., where our comrades have unQuestiOn- ably dcne the best they could, under their respective circumstances, to swell the vote for Francis Gt rau.
 r. $. Reports just received at this office, too late for publication in this issue indicate that the Socialist vote throughout the State for Francis Gerau has probably reached the figure of 7,50o.
 Staten Island, where the Socialist Labor party has no Section and no organization of any sort, cast l0S votes for Francis Gcrau.

NOVEMBER X, 1890.
THE ELECTION,


 As we 20 tO press the returns are still confuse and unreIiable, and no correct figure can be given of the vote boiled by the Socialist Labor party in this city. The most systematic tabuIatiOn that has been made thus far is published by the New York HfI1M and gives DeIabar, our candidate for Mayor, 4,23O votes. But even this is incomplete and we have evidence that the Socialist vote in several districts is greatly understated. For instance, the Heruld gives Delabar 023 in the 22d Assembly District, whereas our own returns show that his vote was 1,0sG in that district The Sth, the 10th, and other districts where our organiza- show similar errors to our dctriment. The SuH gives seven of our candidates for Congress 1 ,219 votes. This account, which is also less than the actual vote cast for them, leaves out two Congress sIOnal Districts where we had no off Cially registered candidates, but where d number of votes were cast for Della bar
 Again, from various reports, also in complete, the vote for Francis Gerau, the head of the Socialist tlcket-appears thus far to have been 4,G00, without including several election districts that have not yrt been heard from,
 To sum up, then, We feel justified in stating that the official returns when complete, will probably show a straight Socialist vote, in New York city, of very nearly 5,W~ and possibly more, This iy about double the highest vote previously polIed by the Socialist Labor party of this city, which was 2,645 in 1SSS
 of course, considerable allowance must be made for the fine work of those Iarty agents, who are known in law as election inspectors, IL is a noto- rious fact that bribery was never greater than it has just been under the new sys- tenn, and that the corruption fund of the old parties was as large and ae we'll hus- banded at this election as at any previous one. The direct purchase of voters was more difficult. but for this very reason the efforts of the purchasers were di- verted from the many whosevotes can be counted in or out, to the few wh, have it in their power To count any way they please; and it was unquesuonably found that the latter method was d "po. litical improvement. We are assured that in number of election districts where our lack of organization prevent ed Us from having watchers, votes cast for Socialist candidates were counted for others or not at all.
 All things considered We may there fore be well pleased with the result of this election in New York city.

While the people were voting-that is were giving the plutocracy new lease of power-the plutocrats were travelling in search of profitable ventures, Few of the latter were registered and fewer still voted.
