On THE WING, April 2.-If you want to
have a good time in life, If you want to see
the world as IL goes round and round, SEEM
ing big to the stars and little to the sun,
start out, as 1 did the other day, to be on the
wing, which, to be profane and to explain
exactly what it means. is having money
enough to pay your fare to where you think
you would like to go, and not knowing
just where that place is situated. Speeding
along, like those dear little birds that, way
up in the north are rather starved-looking
beings, are delicious reed birds in Delaware.
and the plumpest and latest of rice birds

the wing. There Is a good moral for life
1t means getting the bess of everything as
you go along; it means eating with joy aud
rapture a half-raw chop in the railroad
station, and finding the same exquisite bliss
in a canvas-back duck In a first-class
restaurant.
WHEN ON THE ROAD.
Now, to start out this way on the wing,
first of all, you want to be happy. Get the
good wishes of your sweetheArt-you know
there is a lot OF sense in this going away for
little while aud letting him think he can
get fond OF another girl. and bless his heart,
he would not, because he is a thousand times
more faithful than any mink OF woman.
You must have a gown that you are sure is
a new style, wherever you are going. You
must have your toilet belongings with you,
so that you won't sigh for shoe polish in the
woods, or yearn for good French powder
in the thriving town of 322 inhabitants
the last two being twins who had just en-
tered this world. You want things that
will make you comfortable and yet go in a
steamer trunk. You start away and you
look at the page of novel; then you fad
that two women just in front of you are a
thousand times more interesting than the
novel. They are occupied in discussing the
latest scandal.
SCANDAL ON THE WHEELS.
Said one sour-faced, cross woman whose
frock fitted her as If melted iron had boon
poured over her, and whose back would not
unbend il the entire Westminster catechism
should be changed:
For my part, my sympathIes are entirely
Win buS uldu. ne InhTTloO d pretty woman,
and he was a very sedate, respectable per-
son. He wanted TO take care of her, and
she would not let him. She preferred to go
away from home, and he preferred she
should stay there; consequently he was
obliged to remain and look after the chill
dren and servants"
The other woman, the kind that I call a
really-righty one, whose blood in her veins
was rich and warm, aud whose eyes were
w N lnnEad M eha mid
love and hate with equal facility, said:
well, my sympathies are with. the
woman. She was young; she was hand
some. She was the daughter Of one of the
richest men IN New York. Her husband
was sedate and tiresome, and instead of
going out with her and letting her find him
her most ardent admirer, he permitted her
to go to the balls and the opera and the
theater with other men, while he retired at
II o'clock Why, my dear soul, that is the
way 20 make women bad. Any woman
under thirty whose husband does not tell
her that she is the most charming creature
in the world will certainly find some other
man to do it, and the woods are full of the
other men. 1t is pitiful. yes But it is
simply the result II money-grab-
bling arstocraCy. II our men were
content TO stop all business when they
had made a reasonable fortune, and 10
allow themselves to become acquainted
with their wives and children that very
offensive commandment which is never
spoken OF in polite society, and which is so
often broken there, would be forgotten and
men and women would live honest, happy
loving lives, and, as IN some Of the south
err states, there would be no necessity for
divorce laws
Generally, even my friends think say
too much for the men, but that is the sort
of situation where think that If the wo-
man is a fool, and worse-that ia, a wicked
fool-soms man has made her so, most
probably her husband.
Ny dear friend, when that woman ended,
it was only the fact that the grip had left
me with a sore throat that kept me from
getting up and giving the widest sort of
rebel yell in her honor.
SHE HEARS MAN TALK.
After this | heard a man talking about
the same thing.
Said he: you will think this funny in
me, Tommy"
Tommy looked at him and said: what
do you mean"
AMI the chap, whom they called Gus,
and who wore a cbrysanthemum In his
button-hoie that looked like Paderew skis
hair, and Il head that you would have
thought was filed with straw instead of
brains, said:
Il mean this beastly. dirty scandal. You
know it comes from mothers no being
mothers. A girl gets married and some
thing or somebody thinks enough of her 10
put in her care a little child-now, don't
you boys laugh-aud that woman saws to
her husband, If let my baby drink of the
milk that God Intended it should have 1t
will keep me from visiting and entertain
ing; so get another woman to be Il mother
to it, And the fellow, who does not know
very much. who is just u bit Of fool like
you and me, SAYS, why, certainly And
30 that little bundle of cambria gets the
milk of human kindness from some Swede
or German, or Irish woman, who, God
bless her, may make a good foster mother,
but nobody is going TO be mother 10 that
baby except the one who bore It, and no
woman is going to hold the mans heart like
the woman who suffered to bear his child
and who feeds it with the love that is its by
right. We get so idotically Engllsh over
here. Why don't we initiate the daughters
Of the Queen Of Englandl
''rHEY WERE REAL MOTHERS"
And why don't we initiate the daughter
Of the Prince Of Walesl She is a real
mother. | tell you it is that that is maxim z
things bad aud making women 20 wrong
and men wretched IL is because women are
not mo- hers, and become poor wives, and
who can say what they are later on?"
They all sat looking at Gus while be said
this, and, when he got through, the strap
pingest fellow of the lot, who wore a collar
that nearly cut his ears. and who carried a
stick that would have given joy to a variety
