The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1894-10-14

It takes many types Of humanity and
the friction of various opinions to make
world, and this was emphasized recently
in my mind, in listening to the opinions
of Mrs. Mallon, better known as Bah
whose easy original style is so much ad-
mired, and whose Sunday letters in the
Morning News are read with interest and
regularity by her admirers in Savannah.
One intellectual little woman thinks Babs
letter as good as a sermon, and when she
is prevented from attending church Babs
letter is taken as a substitute Another
society favorite, a reading and thinking
young man, quotes from Bah as enthusl-
astically as he does from the classics 4
do love to read every word she writes"
he says, "she is broad and liberal-minded
and a clever reader of human nature"
He looked at her photograph and re-
marked: What a TREASURED" And yet
there are few who are not educated up
to Bab's broad and free expression. If
her reader who condemns her would re-
ceive her matter in the spirit she gives it,
they could not fail to admire her The
woman who can think and write broadly
must possess a refined nature; one that
can step over the muddy spots on to the
clean stepping stones of life. And such
a woman is Mrs Mallon. 1t was recently
my good fortune TO meet her in her own
sanctum, in her suite of rooms in one of
the New York fats, on Fourth avenue.
That is her castle. in which she reigns in

ern warmth, both in her personality and
in the home-like comfort of her artistic
rooms. She is slight, graceful, and pos
Gesses pair of soft brown eyes worthy

visitors from the southland and has re-
tanned love for her ex-home in the blue
grass country. Prominent among the fur
niture of her room stood an open plano,
bespeaking her musical taste; a divan,
on which were heaped the magazines, pc
riodicals and a few books of the day.
On the walls were a heterogeneous col
lection of photographs of her
friends among them some of the
celebrities of the day. She has been

did not first begin writing because she
felt she could write, but, like some of the
rest of us, because she needed the money,
and went on the fashion department Of a

ing writer's. She is fond of flowers, and
caresses them as if they were animate
beings. She is appreciative, gentle I'M

could scarcely realize that she is the
woman who can seattle men and women
who fall below her standard; but l could
better understand how she oftener writes
words of encouragement, as friend to
friends; as one who has thought and felt
and puts into words that which she
thinks will be Of help to others. Dear lit
lie woman! ! am glad l have felt the
clasp OF your hand and heard the sound OF
your voice and looked into your lovely
brown eyes!
Fair faces cannot fail to appear to ad-
vantage with a proper appropriation OF
some Of the prevailing fashions. The
stockholders Of soft chiffon, in the new
shades, of eglantine cerise or bluet, with
q stock buckle of cut steel or Rhine
stones. are sufficient to enhance the beau
" of the wearer.
The Venetian applique in heavy creamy
lace is too much used on street gowns, sc
authorities say Arabasque is another faJ
and gloves in the popular shades, are dan
gerous rivals of the prevailing style OF
white kids, with heavy black lines on tht
back. The pearl trimming over pink eff
fects is another new style, and this waite
pearl trimming is also used with good eff
