VULGAR ENGLISH WOMEN.
"sAs" ON THE BIG LONDON SCANDAL
The Ladies' Mixed Up In It-strong Words
From a wide-Awake WOman-The
Summer Girl and FreckIes-
Some Interesting Facts.


do you think of the GOrdon-Cumming
affair? What do you think of the women
who are mixed up in it? Don't they strike
you as a pretty low lot? And doesn't the
bad blood Of the so-called aristocracy come
out most beautifully in this scandalous
affair? And don't you thin. his royal
highness, Albert Edward, prince OF Wales
has convinced the world of his ability as
a blockhead? For my own part, l don't
care whether the man is guilty or not, my
sympathies are with him. Suppose l
said to you, "Come and stay a week
at my country house; we are going TO
have very jolly party" and you said:
Thank you; it will give me great
pleasure" You came, and we concluded to
play cards; the first night everything
went off all right: the second night l had
a funny little feeling about the way you
were acting and made up my mind that
there would be no more cards played
there. You were my guest, and no mat
ter what you did in other places, Icouldnt
hermit you 10 dishOnOr yourself and me
in my house. Another thing-it may
have been a mistake. The hostess who
let's a mistake happen q second time
causes it to become a blunder, and you
all know that a blunder is worse than a
crime. But, no, the hostess tattled
and cackled and forgot her duty
as a hostess az well as the decent he-
havior that should characterize q woman.
Now the wretched man Is brought
into court. Who sits beside the chief JUS
tice, or whatever be Is? His pretty wife.
The court is filed with society women.

had happened here. Suppose that troop
OF fashionable women went to see the
modification and suffering OF a man who
had either cheated and was suffering be-
cause OF his crime or who was innocent
and was suffering ten times more In that
case. Do Won know what would have
happened if an all-sufiicient Engllshman
had seen this here? lie would have gone
home and no would have tod the people all
about it, and dilated for hours on the vul-
earity Of the American woman. For sheer,
downright vulgaritv there is no type of the
American woman that can compare TO
her equal in the English woman, high or
low, rich or poor, and l. who say this
love with all my heart some English
women: think them charming and count
them my dearest friends, but just now
am generating. An English woman will
think more of a sovereign than an Ameri-
can woman viii OF twenty and II some
lady of doubtful reputation, with an over
Whelming title, chose to sit and witness 4
criminal case, it does seem queer that she
can get all the fashionable set 10 follow at
her heels. There ought To be a thanks
giving in England that the princess OF
Wales, the most courteous OF gentle
women, showed her disapprobatiUn by
STAYING away.
The law Of hospitality is stringent al
ways, and if the man under my roof, and
who paTtakes OF my hospitality Is a horse
thief, il is my duty not 10 permit b be-
ing lynched on the ground. After he has
gone away the people who are willing to
accuse HIM can do 1t. They have got 10
do it openly, and not when he is under
my protection. And that protastln
means great deal when il comes 7rSn
the hostess for, as in the East, the thief
who seeks the protection of the harem
cannot be touched even by the king him
self, so in civilized lands the man who is
suspected should at least be free from
blame given by the hostess. Ii woman
can protect, a woman can usually make
mischief-in fact, she il about as &C
complished in this art as any cOmhina-
ton that could be formed by a monkey
and cat developed into a woman. And
that woman will be found 10 be a mis-
chief-maker in this case that has become
so famous cannot be doubted. "To look
for the woman" should be the business
OF Sir Gordon Cummings lawyers and to
accuse her, no matter what should be her
station in lie, is his right.
Will you please tell me why girls OBJ

usually an evidence OF q healthy constitu-
ton and girl with a few freckles over her
nose and under her eyes is a much more
delightful object than one who is pale and
white and looks as if she didn't know
anything about the sunshine of life or
any other kind OF sunshine. A few
freckles like a snub nose have n certain
piquancv and yet on an average one out
OF every ten girls all over the United
States asks: What will remove freckles?"
III she don't trouble herself and will accept
my prescription the freckles wont trouble
the girl. IL during the summer days she
doesn't clog up her skin with powder and
make it burn with some sort of a wash, il
she will permit herself TO per-
spire naturally and not be dabbling
of the perspiration every half hour or SO,
then she can be pretty certain that the
freckles are not even skin deep and Will
disappear long before the autumn DAYS
come. Nothing Is so good for freckles, in
more senses than one, than selecting a
nice sunny spot, with trees back OF you.

your head, and either an agreeable book TO
read or a pleasant man to talk TO. Your
skin slightly SINNERS; it gets warm
enough to whiten, and you will. be sur

plexion will be. II you must do some
thingsput a preparation of two parts
lemon Juice and one part Jamaica rum on
your face al night. 1t might strike a man
as a novel way OF taking or making a gin
sling, but it really is very good for the
complexion, the rum making the skin
lively and the lemon juice making 1t white
and firm.
With the summer has commenced not
only the annual TRADE against freckles
but the sweet and sentimental inquiry as
TO "What is lover" Love is very much
the creature of impulse. One cynic OF
about thirty, who has seen all of life and
exhausted il, announces that there is no
such thing. Another aged philosopher
who had seen about twenty-three sum
mers, thought that love was of little use
unless "a woman had been everywhere
and seen everything, and could make il
interesting for a fellow" For my own
part, / don't think the woman who had
been anywhere and seen everything would
