anu. AN FEAST q ANlNfE woman q 40 Nlt
there is nothing so fine as gcntlewoman,
but they are the result Of the same good
breeding that is necessary TO make
thorough bred horses and il you viii take
tile trouble 10 look at IL, you will find that
the women with a capital " are the first
OF their kind they are strong in muscle
and in brain, in another generation having
had the edges rubbed of by
THE PUSuCE STONE or SOCIETY,
the result will be all that you can desire,
for not one of these women ever wants
her daughter TO be what she is. The
most finished actress l know doesn't
want her daughter to go on the stage
the best public speaker l have ever heard
preferred that her daughter should
marry young and have a happy home
life; the women with the capital w are
the cause; the result will be a type Of
summer girl who, il she is not just like
the one you have been talking Of, will
/ yet have feminine charm Of her own,
and will realize that this is her best
weapon in the battle Of life.n
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 morn
] ,
quiet, but the silence was broken by a
| woman's voice, 1t was not a pleasant
| voice il had in its shrillness the tang of
envy, hatred, malice and uncharitable-
ness 1t said "Well, don't think it's
| fair, when there are not very many men
/ here, for a girl TO come from off a yacht
and have half the men around her
while nearly all the rest are hang
! ing around that southern girl. My
daughters are just as good to look
at, but they maYn't be as brazen.
Somebody said that girl from the yacht
had on Worth gown; probably she
bought it secondhand: 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
hanging around that married woman
from Boston Oh, of course men like TO
hang around married woman; they can
be freer with her, and then she tells that
her husband said he wanted her to enjoy
herself while she was here, and try and
think she was a young girl again, so that
when he came he could court her all over
I hate that kind Of talk-silly sentiment
tai rot What / li6e"-and then the
voice ceased as the speaker moved away
The Captain said:
"BoRN IN GARRETT, IN A KITCHEN BRED. 4"
And laughed Then l added: isn't
it queer that the beautiful summer time,
which brings out all the lovely flowers,
should also bring to the surface all the
horrible weeds"
And he answered; "No, it isn't so
dreadful, because a good bOtanist quickly
discovers which is good and healthy and
beautiful to have and which is rank and
poisonous and undesirable"
Down in the supper room at one table
we saw our girl the summer girl, and the
young matron from Boston, the three
bellies of the ball, eating iced cream to-
gether with the fervor of youth, and
drinking toasts, with no regard as to
whether the champagne was warm or
cold. No fear Of dyspepsia came into
their lives. About them were their va
rious admirers and altogether they we're
having about as good time as only three
handsome, healthy women can have. The
artist eyed the Southern Girl as il he
meant TO use her face for his next Ma
donna. Two of three merry men were
talking gayly with the pretty matron,
while the Cynic was fastening a rose on
the shoulder of our Handsome Girl, as if
he thought no one knew that concealed in
the leaves Of that rose was his own heart
There was a little tumut outside as if
some of the carriages were moving, and
just behind me as | entered the room,
heard that awful Voice say: 'He's come
when she didn't expect him. Now we
will see what viii happen" And we did
see.
The captain moved away to let a big,
brown, handsome fellow pass him, and in
second we saw the pretty matron fly
the length of the dining room, throw
both arms around his neck, kiss him
right before everybody and say in most
lovely and most loving tone, "Oh, Jim,
how good it was of you to comet" And
then she dragged him up to the table and
introduced all of them to him, and he
thanked the men for being nice to her,
and in no time they were plying him with
champagne, and making that fuss over
him which is always delightful to the
soul of a man. / think the captain and l
both felt that one old cat was disap-
poin ted.
JOLLY TOAST DRINKERS.
Then we went up, found we knew them,
or rather, knew him, because his mother
was related to the Captains mother, who
belonged to the Winthrops, and alto
gether, as the young wife said, we were
quite a family party; then we drank
toasts; that is, after the Captain had
seen we could get ice enough to cool the
wine. We drank to the Southern Girl
may the only line that divides her from
the North be heart line, and that is a
boundary which woman can always
cross
We drank "To the Handsome Girl-may
she live forever, and always be young to
prove to mankind that there is something
in this world worth living for"
We drank ITO the Love-Letter and its
Captain-may both crafts sail always
over smooth seas, and find in whatever
harbor they go the welcome they de-
serve"
We drank ''To the Boston Husband
May his number increase, and may he al
ways appear when he is most wanted -
and then he got up and proposed the pref
tiest toast of all: ITO the loving wife in
whom the heart of her husband doth
safely trust, and then we all said good
night.
And, as the Captain walked up the
veranda with me, he asked: (Which does
a woman appreciate more, the love of one
man or the admiration of many2"
And / SAID: "Woman with capital w
wants the applause of the mob; a gentle
woman wants the love of few"
Then he asked again: "Why does the
disagreeable Voice always make itself
heard2n
And I answered: why was there a
serpent in the garden of Edenl"
And early that morning when the moon
was bowling goodnight to the rising sun,
/ heard two or three banjoes and some
men singing and l realized they were Just
under our windows; they first sang:
