NEW YORK, June 18.-The time of the
year has now come when the average
woman is unsettled. She is deciding where
she will go for the summer. She reads
guide books galore; she answers advertise
ments by the hundreds, and she is willing to
take eserybody's advice as to where she Is
to q bids during tho long summer days. She
is uncertain as to whether it is the mount
ain or sea air that she wants-she has a pos
tive contempt for big hotel, and yet
nothing will induce her to ONTO board
ing house.
my LADY" IN THE COUNTRY.
The children must be where they can
have a play ground, the Oldest daughter
must be where there is some gayety, not to
| mention young men, and the head of the
family herself feels that she wants to get
away from the bondage Of servants and be
| able TO eat her dinner as If she were free
woman. She travels for hours on a hot day
over dusty railroad, only to discover that
| advertisements do not always picture things
exactly as they are, and that the country
home SO beautifully described doesn't COM
pare for GOODNESS with her own home in the
| city. Then she goes csvorting round try
ing to find resting place that has
mountains at the back Of it, seas
| In front of it, fresh butter and vegetables,
milk from a cow and not from @ tin can,
and chickens that we're not witnesses to the
| Aston will. IL 10 unnecessary to say that
this place is never found, but every blessed
one Of us women look for it every summer,
sheds bitter tears over the unreliability Of
printed descrip ions. and eventually goes 10
| the best place she can get and tries to be
happy. If there is anybody in the world
| who knows a lone and lorn place where
thsy know how TO make corn bread, fry
chickens well, make good cup of coffee,
! and where the permission Is accorded one to
dress as one pieases, it would give me great
pleasure to know of 1t. | don't say there
are no such places; only say we never
seem to find them.
A MILLIoEAIRE's MEANNEss.
| Apropos Of chickens that is chickens that
have looked long upon this wicked world,
who have been here long enough 70 have
| been on hand when that selfish gentleman
| % William Aston, who made his will, how
| the cocks must crow with delight to think
| that the man who could be contemplate
enough to insult his own daughter and his
| own brother has gone the way OF all flesh.
| In tolerably extensive acquaintance In
! New York, / have never heard anybody tell
of any kind act done by William Aston ;
! and if the good things we do live after US,
| lust as certainly Will the record OF mean
ness and sel6shness remain. Not long be-
fore he went abroad / saw this rich man
come into fashionable restaurant, and
heard cab driver say: There goes one OF
the richest men in New York, and one of
the meanest; wouldn't be In his place TO
save my soul"
THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MEN.
| Just to show tho difference between men,
and how people feel about men. | doubt if
among the Thousands Ia this great city out
side OF his own immediate family anybody
cared whether William Aston was dead or
not But the day Cornelius Vanderbilt's
son died, everybody, from the brakeman on
| the train to the fashionable woman said :
81 am so sorry for the Cornelius Vander-
| derbilts they are such nice people," This
| proved that even the great mass can distin-
| guish between the rich man who is good,
kind respectable citizen, and the one who
never had a thought for anybody but him
self, and whose great desire was to hold on
| to the Aston money as death held on to him.
| Now, | don't know Mr.. Vanderbilt, but
| do know something from his employees about
his work. And when you are dead, whether
you are rich or poor it Is what you have
done that's going 30 speak for you.
