The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1892-04-24


Some years ago failure of this sort
came under the writer's observation. Ia
was in small town in New York state and
the help" was young woman whose OPP
portunlties to earn her own living in other
ways fell through one after the other
Finally, with commendable courage, on
learning that a city lady who spent six
months Of the year in the village needed a
nurse for her little boy she offered herself
In that capacity. The experiment was
undertaken with much hesitation by tha
employer she had house full of city serv-
ants in other capacities, and 1t was impos-
slble TO draw line in favor of the new
nurse except in the one kindness OF allow
ing her TO eat alone with the child i'll the
nursery.
Things went on without much grating for
few weeks, when one day some villagers
called and innocent of any desire to offer
complications, asked to see the boy. His
nurse brought aim in, and the embarrasS-
ment of the situation was well got through
with by the tactful mother and mistress
until, the child growing restless, she forgot
herself and asked the girl ito take Master
Edward upstairs
The nurse gave up her place that night,
confessing that the Master Edward before
these people she had known all her life was
the final straw to an accumulation of diff
cult experiences and more than she could
stand.
More successful and as an interview in a
London Journal suggests is what will doubt
less grow out of the present movement, Is
that of the introduction of Mattresses on
special occasions. joboing, dinner and sup-
per parties and the like, where a company
of lady helps will take charge of the affair
from start to finish.
Now is the time, says the New York Re-
corder, when the out-of-town woman takes
advantage of her good luck in having re-
latives who lives In the city and sends in
samples to match.
vi am just worn out" declared the other
day woman whose looks justified her as
sertion. my friends down in Pennsylvania
are doing their spring dressmrking, and they
send TO me for everything. | get samples Of
goods that have been out of the market for
two years. with the request, to match the
shade aud quality exactly, / am asked TO
send patterns, to buy such and such goods
that have been advertised and from the ideas
country people have of prices you would
think all any one has to do is to walk into
shop and call for what she wants and have
it given to her for almost nothing. l can
stand good deal. but l rebelled when | re-
ceived a letter the other day,
inclosing a bit of gimp to be
matched. My friend had bought it year
before last in a dry goods shop in Sixth av-
euue, between Fourteenth and Twenty
third streets. She could not remem Der the
name Of the firm, nor the number of the
shop, but one thing she was sure Oft was
on the west side of Sixth avenue. So she
was sure would be able to fiud it,"
There was a surprised and very indignant
young woman in Fourteenth street, near
Union square, day or two ago, says the
New York Times. The sky was cloudy,
and the young woman carried a costly and
nioely-rolled umbrella. Wholly intent upon
some particular mission, she hurried along
with the umbrella almost trailing at her
side. She failed to observe the close prox-
unity of vicious street gamin until she
felt sudden wrench on the umbrella and
looked down to find that the stick had been
broken in the middle and the grinning per-
petrator of the mischief was dancing
with delight "a few feet away. The
boy had practiced on the young
woman a trick that has become a COM
mon nuisance in the shopping district.
With a quick and dextrous motion he
caught the umbrella with his right leg and
foot, and, bending the leg backward,
snapped the stick in second. The owner
of the umbrella looked for policeman, but
by the time she had found one the boy had
disappeared. She related the incident,
however, and showed the bluecoat her
broken umbrella. He consoled her in this
fashion: ''Yes. lady, 1 know about that
trick. Them boys is terrors. They break a
dozen umbrellas just like that every day.
And they do it out Of pure cusseduess, lady,
for fact
Mrs Sarah I. Rorer, the cooking lecturer,
says the New York Times, has brushed
against the world long enough not to be
surprised at strange things in business, but
d letter she got the other day made her con-
TESS to astonishment She had planned to
bring over her Philadelphia class of cooking
teachers to visit the food show. Intending
to remain in the city two days with the
class. she wrote to various makers Of food
staples, expressing q wish that she might
visit their factories with her class. From
one of them came the answer: "If you will
call at our office We will be glad to furnish,
as an escort to your party for a visit to our
factory, our president, who has never yet
visited tn The factory had been running
three years, and it was started and equipped
with more than $500 900 Of the presidents
personal fortune.
The husband Of Mrs. Rorer is a mild-man-
nered gentleman, who Is contented TO sink
his personality, mind his own affairs, and
let his wife travel about and gather fame
He broke over the traces with
q vengeance the other day, when he burst
into her presence with his arms filled high
with d fresh delivery from the laundry.
''This thing must stop right here" was his
angry greeting. "Why, what is the trouble,
dearF7 asked his spouse. "Troublel Trouble
enough!n he retorted, his voice shaking. II
have stood by quietly and let you have your
own way with the public. That is all right.
| make no objection now. But when my
shirts come back from the laundry marked

II somebody, says Clara Belle in the New
York Press, would write book on How
to Get Rid of a Sweetheart" he would not
only make pot Of money, but would help
along that type OF young man (and old too,
sometimes) which is forever and always
getting tangled up in engagements to marry.
The old saying that you must summer and
winter with a man before you can get
acquainted with him, applies also to our
sex. The girl of to-day Is anxious. very
anxious. to get married, and she often
forces the fighting, so to speak, in court
ship, and an engagement is entered into be-
tween two human beings utterly unfit for
zach other.
