THE WAYS OF woMANKIND.
felt that 1t was my time to speak, so
said IN my most parliamentary tone
Gentlemen, aren't you clever enough
TO see that woman Is swinging around
in circlef She deplored the fact that
she was only asked to be loyable, TO be
good mannered, and 10 allow herself TO
be taken care of. She Is now having
taste of the other side of it all. She is
trying to be business-like, and she loses
her temper; she is trying to be imper-
sonai, and she breaks down and cries;
she is trying to be hybrid, and she is
making fool Of herself; but the circle |
will swing around, the proper state OF |
affairs will be reached, and she will |
come back, If not repentant, at least |
a better woman. To me, there is moth |
ing so fine as gentlewoman, but they |
are the result of the same good breed. |
ing that is necessary to make thorough
bred horses, and il you will take the
trouble to look at it, you will find that
the women who are clamoring 70 be
called women with capital w are the
first of their kind; they are strong in
muscle and in brain, in another gener-
alton having had the edges rubbed off by
THE PUMIcE STONE OF SOCIETY,
the result will be all that you can desire,
I for not one of these women ever wants
| her daughter TO be what she is. The most
| finished actress | know doesn't want her
daughter to go on the stage; the best
| public speaker l have ever heard pre-
ferred that her daughter should marry
young and have happy home life; the
women with the capital W are the cause;
the result will be type of summer girl
who, if she is not just the one you have
been talking of, will yet have femi-
nine charm of her own and will realize
that this is her best weapon in the battle
Of life."
| The music had stopped; most every
body had gone TO the supper room; the
Artist had disappeared; the Captain and
|, with that respect which we have for
our physical selves, did not propose to
eat iced cream, salads and drink badly
iced' champagne at that hour in the
morning, so we were left alone. 1t was
very quiet, but the silence was broken
by woman's voice. 1t was not a
pleasant voice; it had in its shrillness
the tang of envy, hatred, malice and
uncharitableness. 1t said: "Well,
don't think its fair, when there are not
very many men here, for girl to come
from off yacht and have half the men
around her. while nearly all the rest are
hanging around that southern girl. My
daughters are just as good to look at,
but they mayen't be as brazen. Some
body said that girl from the yacht had
, on Worth gown; probably she bought
1t second. hand; and as for that southern
: girl-well, we all know that her mother
makes her clothes; and the men that
are not hanging around them are hang
l. ing around that married woman from
!. Boston. Oh, of course, men like to
, hang around married woman; they
4 can be freer with her, and then she tells
! that her husband said he wanted her te
4 enjoy herself while she was here, and
!. try and think she was a young CIR
again, so that when he came he coult
r court her all over. l hate that kind o
d talk--siily, sentimental rot What
/. like"-and then the voice ceased as thu
' speaker moved away.
a The Captain said:
q "BoRN IN GARRETT, IN A KITonEi
d BRED"
e And laughed. Then / added: 'Isn'
L it queer that the beautiful summer time
], which brings out all the lovely flowers
= should also bring to the surface all tn
3. horrible weeds"
II And he answered: mo, il isn't 8
o dreadful, because good botanist quickl
!, discovers which is good and healthy an
q beautiful to have and which is rank an
n poisonous and undesirable"
g Down 10 the supper room at one tabl
5, we saw our girl, the summer girl, an
!, the young matron from Boston, tn
70 three bellies of the ball, eating iced creai
IT together with the fervor of youth, an
es drinking toasts, with no regard as
OF whether the champagne was warm {
to cold. No fear Of dyspepsia came inl
their lives. About them were the
nj various admirers, and altogether the
er were having about as good time I
only three handsome, healthy womc
30 can have. The Artist eyed the Southei
ne Girl as If he meant to use her face +,
m his next Madonna. Two or three merl
er men were talking gailY with the pref
ne matron, while the Oynic was fastenil
We rose on the shoulder Of our Handson
en- Girl, as if he thought nobody knew til
concealed in the leaves of that rose W
to his own heart. There was lit
TO tumult outside, as if some of the ca
i'm riages were moving, and just behir
ID, me as / entered the room, heard TIL
tie awful voice say; "He's come when 81
tn didn't expect him. Now we will 8
e. what will happen" And we did see.
The Captain moved away to let a bi
et brown, handsome fellow pass him, al
in second we saw the pretty matr,
} fly the length OF the dining-room, thrc
Ter both arms around his neck, kiss hi

to most lovely voice and most lovi
lie tone, ooh, Jim, how good 1t was of y
an to comep And then she dragged b
nix up to the table, and introduced all
Inv them to him, and he thanked the m
as for being nice to her, and in no Til

SO think the Captain and both felt II
