The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1891-08-02

NUMBER OF UDen were NtL wise women.
they let their wisdom be subsequent to
that of their husbands ana fathers,
and if they had been living to-day they
wouldn't go and stay in tents II houses could
be gotten, as they can. Another thing liv-
ing in tents brings people too close together.
Your neighbor may be very charming, but
TOO much OF your neighbor IS ike too much
Of good thing. Living in tents makes
women extremely confidential, and they are
apt to discuss family affairs that otherwise
they would never dream of talking about if
a brick wall was between them and their
neighbor.
THE WOMEN NEEDED 1T.
Now about the culture / see man is
going to preach a sermon on Fools He
should have no trouble whatever in select
ing specimens from his audience. The
paper which they issue has all the freshness
Of the Artzond Kicker. without its inteli-
gence; IL speaks Of a young woman "who
sings, and who seems very tall
whom she takes high c." Another one
is described as having the Laughing
face of a child, yet possessed of the
feeling and strength Of woman" Another
famous n lecturer says women have made
me- Well, that sort of thing is a matter
of taste; but when it comes to facts,
hardly think that would go. The physical
culture class, il is announced, has been dis
continued. That Is the one class, in looking
at the figure Of the women, that would
seem of some use. 1t is probable that they
felt it might end in making them better
looking, and the type OF woman who seeks
culture in tents would draw the line at
being anything like beauty.
WOMAN IN HER NATURAL FIGURE
Here the man interrupted me and said:
"Will you please tell me why the women
are all either so fat that they look like
cows, or go fiat that the suggest a stretching
boardp with pleasure" | answered, ''in
the language of friend of my sex, they
have thrown aside that demon, the corset,
and you now have the pleasure Of looking
upon the natural figure of woman. You
now see her at her ioosest, and you know
what she looks like when she is out of the
embrace of the demon.n He muttered
something that sounded like she would have
10 get back to the embrace of the demon il
she ever hoped to get any man TO embrace
her. Upon which, | gave regular cult
ured sniff, and said that her soul was above
men.
CHRISTIANITY FROM a woMAN's VIEW.
Then be asked me with little more so
lemnity in mis- tone, Don't they claim that
this thing is religiousW and 1 said, YES
they do, and do you wonder that men laugh
at religionl Do you wonder that it is made

| happens to be at one of these places, a girl
of IS has the consummats impudencs to
come up aud ask If you are a Christian:
| does she know If she Is one} She knows
she believes, or thinks she does in the tenets
If Christianity. How has g been tried!
| How dare she question the right of any
body to believe what they wants
And how dare she, by her sbso-

rather than drawn too She thinks she
knows what being Christian is. She hasn't
half the knowledge of it thai dog has who
has been with you through sorrow and sick
ness and suffering; she hasn't half the
knowledge of it that many an ignorant
woman who never heard Of culture, who
doesn't know what 1t MEANS but who keeps
the use clean, who has a good supper for
her man when he comes home, and who tries
t. keep him home and out of temptation, by
making the house pleasant for him, and the
children polite to him. Between culture and
suffrage we are in a fair way to have the
home made place just TO sleep and eat i'll
the mother just breeding animal and the
wife woman who, for some polite reason
Of her own. chooses to marry yor.
RELIGION IN EVERYDAY LIFE.
II saw something religious the other day.
l sa " man kiss a delicate looking woman
| good-by, kiss two sickly-looking children
and tell them not to forget papa; | saw him
stay on the train until it was started, and
then be jumped off and called to me, who
could see him when bis wife could not
Won't you please toll the lady got off all
rightF And | went over TO tell her, and
heard what it all meant. Tho delicate
woman and the two little babies were
going west to see mother it was a
| long journey and an expensive ore,
ana tue husband had saved the money
and surprised her with it; and sac
who left home bride, was going back &c
make them thoroughly understand what 8
| good husband she had, and to exhibit, with
all mothers pride, the two babies who be-
| logged TO her. She cried q little bit. be-
cause she knew John would be so lonely,
and while one Of the babies played with the
| silver bells on my ohatelain, thought tC
myself, that man hasn't got baud on his
arm telling it. that man wouldn't go to Glen
Echo and question the Christianity of q
| Wis tor, but that man is Christian. lie is
| going
TO MAKE TWO WOMEN HAPPY
and no is going to stay at home and work
all summer long to do this. You see 1T is
just the difference between denying ones
self something for somebody else, and walk
ing around in perky sort of way, over
| flowing with culture aud egotism that
makes the difference betn cen the Christian
and the other. 1t is the cid story Of know
ing them by their works"
| And then stopped talking, and looked
at the river and at the great, tall, majestic
trees frluging it on each side, and it seemed
to me that the folly of places like Glen Echo
was never so apparent as when compared
with the stately majesty of tho works oil
God himself, and the silence that is prayer.
lt is DIT of sermon. Well, yes, but
nate frauds, just as l do all the skim milk
of life.
THE SKIM MILK OF LIFE.
| A good many things are SKINNED and
skinned until the milk IS very blue They
can advertise it as fresh country milk, but
when you taste IL you are glad that the I'M
| truth of that advertisement does not rest
| upon the soul OF the editor of the paper; it
belongs in the business department.
1t Is mighty, mighty thin milk that ID
| served at Glen Echo as culture.
It's mighty, mighty thin milk that is
served at such places as religion.
It's mighty, mighty thin milk that is pa
reded at such places as politeness.
It's mighty, mighty thin milk that S
served at such places as neighborly kind
| ness.
IT'S mighty, mighty thin milk that you
behold there as comfort II isn't milk for
babies, for grown-up people, for dogs, or
for ghosts.
Do you know what thew do with skim
milk in the countryl They use it to fatten
the pigs, and, as an onlooker, must say
be fit for that and nothing else. At least
