that in our own houses. and it would have
been much nicer to have gone there masked
and played with any one who happened to
drop in.
MISS BABY-FACE At THE THEATER.
My husband! My husband takes great
pride in me. l am the result Of his educa-
tlOn. He feels perfectly certain of me, be-
cause he knows | have deal Of pride. My
dear, where would my pride be il | really
ana absolutely fell in love with somebody
Not that / think that | ever shall, for
don't sesm to have time for an emotion. |
went the other night to see that wonder .ul
play written by that clever chap Oscar
Wilde. Lady Windermere's Fan" and IL
was immensely interesting to hear yOurg
woman near me asserting that 10 such So
oiety existed in any place. lt lie as good
apicture OF fashionable life in New York
as IL is in London; it is the fin de steele re-
production Of the "School OF Scandal"
Somebody said. some olevTr critic tHaJ the
epigrams. as compared to Sheridan's were,
like rhiDestones as 70 diamonds; but in So
ciety to-day so
MANY PEOPLE WEAR RHINEsToNEs,
the play hits 30 many of us beautifully. l
looked at the man sitting next to me, a
grandfather, fop, a rOue, aud "a most In
rerestiDg man, as the actor said, MEN
grow old, but they never grow good" And
he applauded It violently. looked at MRS
on Color, when somebody else said Tho
love of married woman is the most truth
full, the most exquisite, the most intense,
but married men never know anything OF
it" And che laughed with her
escort, and said that, That really
there were some naughty things In the
play" And | smiled at my husband, as it
was said: "a cynic knows the price of
everything and the value Of nothing" There
was one little line that appealed to me; it
was: 1--WE ore in the gutter; but we can
look up at the stars And l could not but
wonder how many of us ever trouble our
selves about the stars, and how many Of us
were satisfied with the gutter. It is worth
going TO see that play; 1t ought to teach
every woman that she doesn't want to live
that life, aud it ought to teach MS who are
in 1t to despise it. But we don't. We are
Ia the world; we don't know TO get out, and
| am tempted TO think we don't want to get
out
SUICIDE PREFERRED TO OLD AGE.
What hideous old women we will maksl
have made up my mind that at the frat
sign OF my good looks going from me |
shall take dose OF choral. ACCIDENTALLY,
of course. y on think | would DO afraid
Not BIT of i'll No hereafter can be worse
than the present. AS women Of to-day are
living interrogation points, always seeking
for something new, have rather an inter
est in what the future will be like. Bias

without religion, and what | had has been
knocked out of me by what / have seen.
Does IL payl No, it doesn't l would give
anything in this world; / would
give all that possess to be the wife OF
man in the middle class of society, whose
greatest happiness was TO have her hus-
bands love, to educate honorably and
purely the children she bore him, and not
to have social aspirations of any kind. OF
course, am firmly fixed myself, but there
is always the desire TO do or be something
original, unless, indeed, one 10 content to
follow the leader Of the black sheep. A
thousand times no, it doesn't pay to live the
fashionable life Of the New York Of to-
day"
This was a long answer to my question,
but when a woman starts TO tell the truth
truth. AS we parted, thought, what does
payl
MAKE THE BEST OF EVERYTHING.
It pays TO keep our ideals, and to believe
honest.
Il pays to be loving and kind. because
kindness and consideration are wonderful
GOALS of fire to heap on the heads of our enc
mics.
IL pays to be contented, for when do we
know about the unhappineGs Of the other
people9
1t pays to be cheerful in bad weather and
In good weather, for a cheerful heart
makes good weather even when there is no
sunshine.
1t pays 20 be made happy by little things
for the accumulation Of them make ny the
sum and substance of life.
Ii pays not to be envious, for the velvet
gown may cover a woman who would
gladly exchange places with you.
IL pays TO make the best of every thing !;
at least, / think IL does Sometimes | get
nasty, and compare a gorgeous mansion
with a fiat; servants in livery with a neat
maid; fresh strawberries in January with
those that were done up last summer and
then stop quite still. and remember that ii
| were in palace | couldn't call out to the
puppy from my bad Co come from the
Kitchen and have a bit OF toast; that tue
servants in livery mIghtn't have as intense
an interest in all my affairs, or migbtn't
trouble themselves about the honesty of the
butcher boy, and the hot houss strawberries
would not have been arranged for me by
somebody who was catering specially TO my
taste. O, IL pays 60 make the best Of every
thiDgl It does. | never make an emphatic
announcement unless 1t is from experience,
and this one comes from the personal ex-
perlence OF Bah.
