world is getting worse and worse in this
respect every day. Women are willing to
live lives that are lies, and men are will
ing to cease to be men simply for the sake
OF appearances, and, after all, the very
world that they think believes in them
laughs at them.
sO-CALLED SOCIETY RECEPTIONS.
You and your sister go to Madam
Frauds reception where you meet every
body, so called, and where there is a bowl
of weak punch, that as the afternoon
wears on is watered, and where there is
dish of small cakes that nobody touches
because they know they are kept from
one Tuesday to another. Madam Frauds
receptions are written up in the paper
next cay, and there are announcements of
the people who were there, and Madam
Fraud thinks that the world believes she
is a great parsonage, and she does not
realize that she is laughed at
and that all sorts Of diff
her age calls for no respect because she
behaves like fool, and that people only
go because it is convenient place to meet
other people, She is idiot enough to sup
pose that her visitors imagine. because
she has the parlor floor in the boarding
house, that it is her home, and she is the
subject of never-ending laughter to the
people in the house TO whom she believes,
she represents society with a capital S.
And the world swings along, and the
Frauds are innumerable, but nobody is
fooled.
And once in while somebody is brave
enough to say: Il will go among the peo-
Pile like and do as l like; will give TO
them what / can afford, l will dress as
can afford, my bills will be paid and can
face the world at large and know that
am not stealing reputation that does not
b9long to me, nor am | spending all my
time fishing for gudgeons to furnish me
with food and wearing apparel" Why
don't mothers raise their daughters bet
teri That is where the trouble is.
SHAM TRAINING oP YOUNG GIRLS.
The daughter of man who makes q
good living is married TO young clerk
and is given a trousseau suited to mill
ionaire's daughter. That is the begin ming
of the nonsense Instead of furnishing
her with clothes suited to her position il
| lie, and then giving her some bed liner
and some silver, that she may help II
have a home, she is presented with what
is the first inducement to pose as fraud
! Then she goes to boarding house. From
that time on her lifeois one con tinua
effort to appear what she is not. If bl
some chance she becomes a mother, hel
little child is put off to school, that she
| mry not be troubled with it; that it may
not apparently add to her age, and, mos
| important of ALL because it is cheap
| er. Her husband is an old man before hC
| is young one. in his efforts to cater Il
her desires. He is of early in the morn
ing before she is up, and when she APP
pears, probably not until luncheon time
her whole conversation consists in dis
cussing foolish book, or talking about
herfavOrite.ac actors, and actresses with wo
men who are on a par with her intellec
tually and every other way. The after
4 noon is spent in chasing after bargains, oil
/ seeingshow other women who have more
! money than she has, are dressed while
/ the evenings are occupied in going to the
theater, or so the one or two house:
/ where she has been invited TO the so
/ called receptions. The poor husband /:
dragged along, unless, indeed, she has al
ready commenced 10 grow ashamed Of
him. and in that case she takes with hel
some young man who occupies room OF
! the top floor Of the house, who dresses
I well, who talks glibly, and who earns his
/ living, nobody knows how.
