They are the women who get in one
corner of the verands and discuss the ques-
lions of the day-such questions ranging
from how to paint on china to the tarln
bill. Nothing is too frivolous and nothing
too deep for them to attack. After two

more will ioin them, and after a while, to
the CONSERVATION of the typical summer
girl she finds a few men are drifting in
that direction TO hear what the women are
saying. Just here. this morning, there have
been three questions discussed.
ARGUMENTS ON LOVE AND MAN.
The frs was, "Iu love, who are the most
faithful, men or womenm And the argu-
ment, which grew very hot, was carried on
between a young woman who wasn't mar
ried, but vino wouldn't give a straw to go
with girls, a matron and a widow. Said
the unmarried one: 81 must first announce
that don't believe in such thing as love.
Affection. yes Pleasant comrsdeship yes
But when 1t comes to question Of faith
fulness, think the things are about even-if
the woman sees somebody else she likes bet
ter, she is not going to stop to consider
whether even intellectually she should be
faithful, and the man certainly will not

and the one who goes the soonest is the one
who has gotten the most pleasure out of it. 1"
A round of applause met this sentiment.
and then the matron had her say. She an
nounced: ~ am on the side OF the women.
Once we love. we love forever, and we stick
to a man through thick and thin; we bear
with his faults, we exaggerate his virtues,
we nurse him when he is i'll, we are con-
siderate of him when he is well, we want
him always by our sides, we turn to him in
our SORROWS and our joys, and And"
continued the widow, I'VE let him pay our
dressmaker's bills. For my part, |
think that causes half the trouble in life.
Not dressmakers' bills-I don't mean
that-but the women who are eternallv
faithful. dent mean by this that | wait
any Of you to be unfaithful, but this
sticking by man through thick and thin
makes him weary, and Re would be much
better satisfied if he were occasionally al
lowed a little more rope. However, don't
believe that women are very faithful. |
don't think they are made that way They
are utterly lacking in sentiment, and the
cleverest Of them can only assume it.
Whereas O man will choke up, and his ewes
will be full of tears, and when you ask him
what is the matter he may say he would
rather not tsll you, but eventually he will
let you know that he thought it was 50
sweet in you to put on the frock be liked,
to pin q flower in his buttonhole, or
TO have had some especial dish that pleased
him for dinner Now you only put on the
frock because it was becoming, without a
thought of him; you pinned the rose to his
buttonhole because you had it in your hand
and didn't know what else to do with it:
and you had that special dish ordered be-
cause you liked it yourself. Men are faith
full to memories, even, and woman, lovely
woman, who has every virtue in the die
tionary given to her. is as unfaithful as a
catln
Somebody said, "Oh, Catherine, how can
you say sucn thingl Didn't you love
your husbandn
And Catherine, with truthfulness that
was charming, becau it was unusual,
answered: "Yes, | suppose / did, but |
really have forgotten what it was like, and
don't thiOk ever put myself out particu-
larly to please him." Somebody said this
wasn't a suitable question to discuss before
young girls, SO 1t stopped just there.
THE FAIR SEX ON POLITICS
And the next one taken up was: "What
do you think of the political situatiour'
Every woman had an opinion on this, but
as every blessed one OF them were demo-
Gratis, there could only be discussion about
what candidates to have. A sweet blonde
thing, dressed in a French cotton. for
which she had paid Worth $3.50, and whose
blue eyes were as innocent as a baby's. was

am ashamed Of my party. They got in
and they had chance to stay in, but thew
were such miserable politicians aud con-
summate idiots, that they got out again.

put up, aud it will serve them lust right If
the republicans literally own the country.
For my own part think there is only one
thoroughly good politician among them.
and that is Arthur P. German of Maryland

be elected, but because he comes from a
state where they breed gentlemen. and

won't be elected, but he is on nv ticket
and my four votes go for him, or else thew
don't go for anybody"
A young woman, who looked neutral in
coloring and who was embroidering baby's

At this all the men listeners roared with
