she leaves her homo to 60 to the

kerchief that she dries her tears whom
she leaves her fathers house, and
while she stands at the altar. After
the marriage Is over and the bride
has gone with her husband TO their
own new home, she folds up the kerr
chief and places II unwashed In her
linen closet, where 1t remains untouch-
ed. The tear kerchief has only per-
formed half Of its mission. Children
are born, grow up, marry, and move

The morning call., 1892-09-10

The doctors call inconsistencies nostalgia
and prescribe for it. But my disease is the
result OF what every traveller ought to
know-a steamer friendship
LET me explain. Five years ago / came
here by sea from New York City with about
$500 or $1,000 in my purse.
"Of course, l made friends on board.
Before we reached the Hatteras, three
days out, had got into the good graees Of
two CT three gentlemen, who kindly taught
me TO play poker. ana generously allowed me
to pay for the drinks.
"Then | obtained the easiest kind Of an
introduction to young lady. who protested
great interest in the first glimpse of the
Southern Cross as we passed down through
the Bahamas amid balmy breeZes and tran
quill nights following sunsets that l love TO
think of now.
II met too, a California mi-millionaire,
who professed the greatest interest In me,
and who paid for wine about once in twenty
times when il was passed around.
"a lady OF doubtful age talked Neopla-
tonism and transcendental philosophy to me
and asked if / knew Boston.
Really l felt quite a warm friendship
springing up in my heart for all these peo-
pie. and, as usually happens, l believe, the
friendship became tropical with the climate
On the way up Oh this side L submitted with
the best grace 10 the whims and caprces of
the young lady, who insisted on landing at
every port, and of course had to foot the
bills.
Everything was perfectly respectable.
'Nhen we reached this city | had
pocket full of addresses Of my steamer
friends.
at is true that their acquaintance had cost
me about $500 up TO date, and that had
been compelled to plead poverty to save
further demands.
81 suppose had $1,000 still on hand when
| went around to pay respects to my steamer
friends.
Perhaps they did not know it, or might
have been differently treated.
THE cold shoulder is mild term. / got
the cold. cruel shake Mind you, had not
been a fool, pure, unadulterated fool for
l had travelled bit before. But when /
went over to Australia / eonsoled myself
with the reflection that among all my
steamer friends left not one TO regret.
Since then i have travelled largely over
Southern seas. and it is always the same.
There Is nothing so ephemeral as a
steamer friendship.
Even in the Storage, and / came that
way for a change-it is the same. | am not
