you would be on his side. He finishes
up by admiring your frocS, and after that
you are more than ordinarily strong
minded woman if you don't go over to his
side, at least while you are visiting in his
neighborhood. The politician is interesting
but you always wonder after you have
met him if in the beginning they were not
created men, women and politicians. Not
that he is not human, oh, dear, no! But q
vote with him counts more than all the
emotions put together, and in his heart he
wonders how men live who don't to lch the
button, and let the voters do the rest.
THE LovELIEsT SUMMER GIRL.
There, now, have told her what know
about politicians, and she asks me, where
did you see the prettiest girl during the
summerg And tell her the truth: an
Washington, at a minstrel show. She sat
just in front of me with two men-one her
brother, the other her sweetheart, | am
sure; she had a skin like satin; great, clear
gray eyes, with black lsshes and brows,
and the most superb black hair
have ever seen in my life; 1t was simply
braided and wound round aud round
her head until it was an absolute crown of
glory, ard didn't wonder when she took
her hat off. l. was delightful to look at
her; she laughed a5 everything funny, and
her laugh had that curious silver ring that
is so attractive. Her sweetheart looked at
her-he was great, big, fine-looking chap
as much as to say, You are the
dearest thing in the world Aad it
was only the persuasion Of my mater
nal parent heart that kept me from telling
her how pretty she was There ars lot Of
pretty girls in Washington-they are not
particularly well dressed aud thew don't
seem to know how to make the most of
their good looks, but they always remind
me of those roses that live out OF doors dur.
ing the winter and bloom in the s1ring and
summer; that, while they haven't so many
petals and are not so large, are yet thaus-
and times sweeter than the cultivated rose,
which, gaining i'll size, has lost its chief
CHARM
o, CAN'T THE WOMEN GOSSIP
Well, what dispIeased me the most she
wants 10 know then. The gossps at the
summer hotels. | see some woman had an
other one arrested, or something of that
sort, for talking against her, and though
don't know who the people are, | DON'T
doubt that 1t was deserved. la the old
days the scandal. monger used to have to sit
in the stocks, and it is a pity they don't re-
vive the custom. Women say the most
horrible things about women without
6!nching, aud the summer sun, which
makes all the weeds spring up seems
them. 1t is none of your business. and it's
none of mine, where woman gets her
clothes, but that is a favorite question by
the dissemlnator of news at the summer
hotel. It's none of your business and it's
none of mine, as to tine relations between
people, so long as they behave themselves
properly in a public place. My friend, we
kneel beside sinners in church, We are going
to meet them in a great many other
ola - -
| our own account on the book of
| life is as straight as that OF some of the 80
called. sinners. The scaildalmonger elects
| herself saint. / never hear a woman
| talking about other women, announcing
that she knows that they arc fast women
| that she knows that they are bad women
| or that she knows that they are drunkards
| that don't feel like asking her if she hasn't
| gone among just such a set to have gainec
| all this Information. Good womea dom
know; it Is only women who have gone
through the mill VINO can carefully pick
out the chat from the wheat.
Then my friend asks me
WELL, WHAT ABOUT THE MEN?n
And am forced 70 tell tho truth. which
| is that the men don't bother themselves
about gossip generally, and that whom they
do they are not apt to be men; they have
either become SO elderly that they count in
as women, or else they are so young they
are counted sexless But | don't want tC
think about the disagreesble things now
| that have come hOme want to remem-
Der the agreeable ones, the pleasant people
have met, the kind words that have been
said, the dogs with whom | became
acquainted. even the organ grinder who
made music for me. and gave me he kind
OF bow that only an Italian organ grinder
or stage brigend can manage. It's much
better, after all to just put down in youl
DOCK the pleasant things. 1t is much better
to blot ont even the memories Of the people
you didn't like, but try and remember. and
| remember ell the lesson that the summer
time has taught you. You have learned
that speech may be silver, but silence il
gold. Silence as to the disagreeables
| silence about your own and other peoples
| affairs.
HOW ABOUT oURNGHTs
Have you or any right to look curiously
or even speak about eyes that look as IL they
had been shedding tears.
Have you or | a right to wonder in speech
why two people who are married seem K
try 60 ignore each other?
Haze you or | right TO find fault witt
somebody because she doesn't choose to give
us her whole historys
Have you or | "A right to take for granted
that something is wrong simply because We
haven't had explained TO us the something
which is right.
No, we haven't. Socially we have but
one right in this world, and that is to mind
our own business, and don't mean that il
its nasty, hard sense, in the sense of never
doing kind thing because we are so wrapt
up in ourselves. | mean 1t in the sense OF
attending to our own affairs and not dis
cussiug or interfering with those of ouI
neigbbors. The right way to mind your
and to do unto others as you would be done
by. Isn't that true? BAB.
