THE NEW WOMAN.

The dark-eyed Miss Brown smiled "
,Hlc wickcdly as she gathered her
slmy skirt up in her hand and tripped
mn the stairs with the most approved
Delsartean grace. She felt sure that
Mr.. Won Ehren was watching her pro-
r,ess with admiration, and she sus-
oected that each click of her high
beeled slippers upon the stairs brought
throb to his youthful German heart.
That was why the dark-eyed Miss
Brown smiled.
When she had hung up the filmy
frock and kicked off the high-heeled
,jppers and was attired in dressing
gown ane knitted, shapeless footgear
,be was still smiling. She brushed
her hair and looked ut herself critical
y.
II am certainly better looking than
| Ivas," she murmurod approximately.
"And know how to make tho most
Of nv charms better than l did. This
pink thing is very becoming. He
must be Younger than L. It's almost
mean of me to let myself fascinate
him. Those Germans are so romantic.
They are not flippant, cold-blooded
shings like our men," Here Miss
Browns eyes looked sombre, and she
yared for a second Mt photograph
on her table. Then her face bright
ened ngain, and she went ON in her
reHections.
IF it were purely personal mat
ar," she decided, 81 simply would
not do it. But it is not personal.
Those foreigners are really in state
Of painful ignorance about the Amer
lean woman. / dare not say they
think girl who has been to college
cannot be fascinating. For me to
prove that we can be all things to
men will be really patriotic act-a
indication of tho New Woman, a
triumph over the faxen-haired, Ma
donna-faced, eternally knitting ideal.
Still, of course, it mustn't be allowed
'oget too serious; l don't want him
'aooting himself or me"
With this charitable conclusion,
Miss Brown climbed into the big four
posted bed, which filled the larger
part OF her room in the quaint old
homestead, where she was spending
me summer, and fell at once into the
felreshing sleep which comes especial
Y'o those whose minds are free from
guile.
IN pursuance of her patriotic plan,
e'ss Brown permitted the young Ger
Nah' with the handsome, boyish face
@d the courtly air, TO be her con-
''ant attendant everywhere. Ho
'semed to like the position. His eyes
'0aght her the instant he entered the
uning-room. If she started out for
'iamoie, he always sprang to her
''ue' and with his foreign air of defer
'uce and humility, begged permission
70 accompany her. Everyone about
"eplace noticed and smiled at the
'0ung mans apparent infatuation.
MISS Brown played her part oxceed-
ugly we'll. She was clever young
'oman and she never allowed her
youth to become too personal or too
'eatimental. She told him about her
'olege life and he seemed to never
'sary Of her tales. She discussed
"crything with him from the classics
"ciambakes and from poetry to poll
I's' She was one of the few young
.omen who could do this in a way
'u"' would inspire the respect of a
4an who knew much on these sub
'sc's, bnt who was unaccustomed to
'Omen who knew anything outside the
purely feminine realm.

fire. She did not fear it herself, but,
as she puts it, q conscience not quite
outgrown kept her from getting real
enjoyment out of other peoples
agonies. And the courtly, slow speak
ing young man had really seemed to
her until last evening to be approach
ing the stage of agony.
81 cannot understand your Brown
ing," he said in his deep voice, with
the marked German accent which all
the summer boarders found SO delight
full. "What is it which he means by
such things as this: Where he stands,
the Arch Fear in visible form, yet
the strong man must go?'"
"Oh, you've been reading Pros
pice, have you?" said Mr.. Won Ehren's
guide. "He means death, of course. !"
81 understand better the rest. The
rest is very beautiful" said he, and
he began to quote it. But Miss Brown
didn't want to hear "Oh, thou soul of
my SOUL" even with the quotation
marks, SO she stopped him.
"Well, if 1 may not be permitted
to speak of that, said the gentleman,
obligingly, may ask your permis-
sion to read the little poem 1 find
here: 'One Way to Live?' You
might kindly elucidate that"
Miss Brown didn't care to hear the
poem.
"Ah!" said Mr.. Won Ehren. sIt is
not so we love. When we have missed
the heaven we do not say ''those who
win heaven, blest are they. We love
otherwise.
"You are still Werthers over there,
l imagine, said Miss Brown lightly,
rising as she spoke.
"Pardon me-" said the young man,
rising also, eff I ask you what may
seem to you most impertinent ques-
ton. You have told me and shown
me so much about America and Amer
ican ways, will you not tell me how it
is that American women love?"
"Herr Won Ehren must ask a more
experienced American woman than l
that question" answered Miss Brown,
with certain dignity. She was an
noyed. If the man was going to make
an idiot of himself it would be dis
gusting.
'It is not, pursued he, Gas our
women do. I am convinced of that.
You arc all different. YOU"
cit is subject on which one can
not generalize," broke in Miss Brown,
quite curtly, "and on which we most
certainly do not wish to particularize.
1 think there's a fog coming in.
"The fraulein wishes the subject
changed" hazarded the German, smil-
ing at Miss Brown in peculiarly irri-
tating way. "But before we leave it
may I not ask her congratulations
that know about the German ways of
loving?"
Miss Brown for the moment was al
most staggered; but before the Ger
man had chance to observe that she
had recovered herself sufficiently to
say;
"Ah, it is as / suspected. Indeed,
do congratulate you. And Is she a
haxen- haired madchen?"
MI. Won Ehren kindly gave brief
description of the young woman who
was waiting for him to finish his tra-
vels, and Miss Brown struggled des-
perately to think what had been the
secret of his devotion to herself.
She never knew until the next win
ter, when there came marked copy
of German magazine to her, con-
tanning very delightful article on
"The New Woman in America, by
Professor Seigmund Won Ehren.

Better Than Dumb Bells.

Dyspeptics may be interested in the
experiment of man living on Erie
street. Being confined to his Office
most of the day, and having little ex-
ercise of any kind, his system got
badly out of order. For some two
months past he has been spending
a half hour every evening in lying on
his back on the floor and tossing his
lusty two-year- son back and forth.
He says this exercise beats dumb bells
and that it is only after an occasional
immoderate meal that he is reminded
he has stomach. Chicago Trib1ne.

Pawtucket tribune. (Pawtucket, R.I.) 1890-189?, 1895-03-20

Every effort has been made officially 60
disguise the real state of affairs. The Ha-
waiian minister's name has been scrupu-
lousy included In all state functions In
which the diplomatic corps play part,
and on at least one occasion he has been
rendered the honor Of special dinner by
Secretary Gresham. but 1t Is known that
there have been stormy interviews be.
tween them.
Thurston Has Nothing To Say.
Minister Thurston positively declined to
discuss the report. He said the report was
Of such character that ho would main
tain absolute silence. He did not want
this takon as an intimation OF affirmation
or denial. He was asked specifically IL he
had been recalled, and declined to an
swer. He WAS also specifically asked as to
the closing OF the state deY Yartment against
him, and made the same response.
1t Is recalled now that Mr.. Thurston has
not been seen at the state department In
person recently. While 1t Is doubtful IL
Secretary Gresham has gone SO far as to
demand tho recall of the minister, it Is be-
lieved to be probable that he has at least
allowed some hint to reach the Hawaiian
government, through Minister Willis, to
the effect that the relations between the
state department and Minister Thurston
were not entirely cordial, though there is
good ground for the belief that the Ha-
waiian government has not acted as yet
upon the hint.
Every effort to secure confirmation of
the story failed. Members of the cabinet,
diplomats and public men who should be
in n position to know IL action of such i'm
portance had been taken, either dlsavowed
all knowledge upon the subject or de.
clined to discuss 1t at all.

1t Is Claimed by His Lawyer to Have
Been Irregular.
District Attorney Fellows of New York an
nounced yesterday afternoon that Recorder
Con- had signed an order releasing LANCER
man from the house of detention. Assist
ant District Attorney Unger took the order
to the house of detention. where Langerman
was confined.
A peculiar point has been raised by Col
HARE. counsel for Langerman, who was re-
Gently convicted of assaulting Barbara Aub
who afterward confessed the falsity of her
charge. 1t is claimed by the lawyer that the
commitment papers were made out by Re-
corder Golf himself. in court, at the time of
the sensational discharge. The order reads
that 1.-The district attorney states to the
court that Walter L. S. Langerman is ma
terial witness in the case against Barbara
Aub" This is the regular printed form.
Col. Haire claims that Col. Fellows stated
nothing of the kind, and that the commit
ment therefore was irregular
So as to avoid any technically on the
question that Langerman may still be in the
custody of the supreme court on the pro-
ceedings instituted before Justice Andrews,
Langerman was at once taken there.
Assistant District Attorney Unger stated
that .Langerman had been discharged on the
written request of Col. Fellows, which re-
quest had been Endorsed by Recorder Golf.
He wanted it understood, however, that Dis
trict Attorney Fellows did not wish to avoid
the grave question raised by Col. Hare On
the contrary, he was ready at any time 10
defend his position in the matter.
1t Is the general opinion of many of the
lawyers and officials in and around the GRIM
inal court building that the Aub girl will
never be prosecuted. Just how this will be
brought about nobody seems to know
Others say that if she Is placed on trial she
will not be convicted.
