housekeeper and she's stunning wife.
must be applied to her. She talks so well
and so much that half the men in New York
look like fools because she won't allow them
10 prove they are anything else. She is not
afraid TO discuss anything; she gets in the
way Of talking things that are not quite
nice entirely as 4 matter OF course. She
will not hesitate to tell you about some man
who's awfully mashed on 4 married wo-
man, and she will laugh heartily at 4
Southern girls look of wonder at the ex-
istence of such things. She's 4 good
mother, IN way. She dresses her children
sensibly, and sees that the drainage in the
house is correct; she don't believe in cud-
ding them if they happen TO hurt them
selves, for that happens to strike her as
nonsense.
WHAT NEW YORK GIRLS LACK
She hasn't enough gentleness. There are
few oId-fashioned words that will never
apply to her her; one of them has been
much yulgarized; ii is ''high-toned;'' think
it over and you will see exactly what it
means. Now, she's not that; she's too
low in her tone, and there will never come
to her that perfect elegance of manner,
carriage and richness vol heart that was
meant years ago when this word was used.
I like her, but 1 couldn't, il I had some
great sorrow, lay bare my heart and expect
a great sympathy from her. If wept bit
terly because of my grief, the Boston girl
would analyZe my tears Tor me, and think
that what had come to ME was not 4 real
grief, but only the natural succession of
events. The Western girl would put her arm
around me and say, "AIy dear girl, you
will only make your nose red, and your
mourning dress has come home and looks
perfectly lovely" But the Southern girl
would lean her face close to mine, hold my
hand, look at me with eyes full of sym
pathy, say nothing, and yet make me feel
happier. Oh, dearI Oh, deari What a lot
I've said about girls, but If you don't like
it, blame what Marie Jansen said and the
sight of Henry Watterson's daughter for it.
TRACTS FOR PUBLIC MEN.
Did you ever write q tract2 There seems
to be no end to the making of them, and as
to the givers of them-well, you can i'm
agine what state Of enthusiasm they reach
when tell you my entire French library
was, during my absence, filled with tracts
by an impertinent old trump. I sent them
down to the kitchen range, as l considered
that the proper place for them. Still, if
tracts were really personal, there might be
much good in them. Just try writing out
few to your friends, and see how they
work.
