A GOTHAM W0MAN'S GOSSIP


Fancyl Once upon a time-and a mere
bagatelle of 200 years ago.--we were the
only sex to carry umbrellas! 1t was con-
sidered trifiing bit of feminine foolish
ness, and probably in those days the now
common rain and sun guard was welded
with the same grace and skill as modern
maids WELD the bespangled fan. In
China and Japan the umbrella, which Is
ever gay and ornamental, serves as
very potent weapon of coquetry. Alas
we of the glorious west are all material
lists!
There can be little doubt, says "Notes
and Queries" that when umbrellas first
came into use in England they were car
ried only by women. OF this we have the
evidence of Guy Miege in his French
dictionary, 1858, who has the sentences
"Umbrellos are only in use amongst
women" THE New World OF Words"
revised, ETC., by ]. X. PhilobibI, 1920, has
the remark: "Such as are here commonly
us'd by women to- shelter them from
rain" Both Umbrella and umbrella are
given.
Gay has the following. aIlusion:
Good housewives all the winters rage de-
sptse,
Safe tho the wet on climbing patterns
Let Persian DANES tn umbrellas ribs dis
To guard their beauties from the sunny
Or sweating slaves support the shady lad,
When eastern monarchs show thelr state

Some of the latest millinery shows a
marked tendency to grow in height
Many of the crowns are raised and the
trimmings heaped to an absurd height
On Paris hats and bonnets many of the
gay flowers are yelled with tulle, some
of the red roses enyeloped in red tulle
then recovered with white illusion. Width
at the back of the hat does not diminish,
and on many Paris bonnets, capotes and
round hats are long wide tulle or BPus-
sells net scarfs or ribbon strings. Strings,
IL not exaggerated, are almost universal
ly becoming. Those of narraw velvet are
particularly so, but strings yard in
length and or inches wide do not ap-
peal to us at present. The wide tuile
scarfs, however, either in black or white,
have q very becoming and dressy effect,
particularly to women of mature years,
whose cheeks and threats have lost the
roundness and freshness of youth. But
ON Leghorn and other wide brimmed hats
these airy scarfs fall gracefully from the
back of the hat, and will be worn by both
girls in their teens and youthful matrons.

To the Editor of the Isl. CrOir Avis.'

Dear Sir!
AS you have already SO appropriately
raped 'FMusidorus'' on his nose, / thought
it rather cruel to attempt to bruise it further,
but after running over the article again, |
became very indignant at a certain part of
"Musndorus' letter.
1t must be understood that no reasonable
being can have objections to reforms of any
sort, proposed or suggested for the improve
mont of the young. But in this, [ am in
clined to think, though it might be unchari-
table, that it is only a spirit of criticism and
fault finding which overrules 'Musidorus" so
much as to make him so mischievous. Here
he wraps himself in a great moral and intel
lectual cloak III order to publicly abuse
Cruzian young men. He shamefullv abuses
them when he calls them-semi-inebriated
young men, "habitual drunkardS."
Of all the ether insults and abSurdities in
his letter, this is the most shameful and over
bearing. Tell Us, "Musidorus,' Is it your
nature to insult, and care nothing about how,
and why you do so? You seem to be no
lover Of the people of st. Croix, when
you search out their faults; and make them
public to foreign readers.
What q bare-faced ingratituds! Eating
bread from the people, and abusing them
They don't seem to lack energy when they,
from their scanty means pay fees 10 such as
Boys High School" "Mr. Briscos's School"
and to many others. l think you ought to be
somewhat more careful, and not muddy your
water so much, whoever you may be, Il sup
pose you are now SO fat, that you begin to
kick "Jeshurum waxsd fat and kicked"
says the Scripture.
If You were known to the public as we
would like to know you, how many ugly
looks would be thrown at you. Your blind
zeal and ambition might, one evil day, bring
you to ruin, if you do not put a screw upon
your brake.
You grumbIe about Il good school fer
girls. We agree that girls ought also to have
equal chances IN education as boys rave
Why Their do you not suggest, how this pro-
vision can be made +? | know a good mixed
school, where some girls could be brought
up TO meet your demand, if the master Of
that school was paid sufficiently to meet the
expenses of keeping up such a refined class.
l mean the "Esperanza." If such won't suit.
then let it be now, as was of old, What you
cannot cure, you must endure y
You say, we can appreciate nothing but
what is ridiculous or vulgar.
Is that true II don't think it," How.
ever, say The many ridiculous things OF MS
as you may, paint ever SO ugly as You can,
others think better of us. The world was
not made in one day.
My friend let me advise you. AS you live
among the people, eating the bread Of the
land, create friends; reap no enemies by such
a right down abuse of the inhabitants of
Basin; you may suffer by it at the end. The
people of St. Croix are quiet but jealous Of
their honour and name.
| mean to answer nothing that Musidorus
may reply.
| beg to thank the Editor for the space
allowed ME and remain,

To the Editor Of the st. CrOiH Avis.
Dear Sir,
Your correspondent ''Musidorus" in
last Saturdays paper pretends TO represent a
large portion of the community, and seems to
imagine himself the only recognized authori-
ty to deal with, and the one solely capable of
properly, faithfully, wisely and successfully
handling any subject, matter or question that
may concern the public interest. He thinks
himself beyond doubt the only newspaper
correspondent whose subject commands at
%tention, and probably believes that no other
writer should touch upon a question which he
does not or has not considered profitable. Be
this as it may he ought to be reminded that
one should hrst make sure of the profitable
results of his eOn ideas, schemes Or suggestions
, 1896-06-10

before he takes upon himself to condemn as
proftless according to bis immaculate con-
ception those of others. To say the least.
such proceeding is indecent and improper
and may be even considered a breach of
journalistic etiquette. The question on which
| am writing, is one of general interest to
the community. and whether my pen be not
sufficiently able or my head wise enough to
deal with it, it is rather early in the oontro-
versy for sentence to be passed by one indivi-
dual however much he pretends to represent
the public view, and who at the same time is
only s0orrying his mind with questions not
generally interesting even though it may be
from the purest Of motiVes.
Musidorus' remarks contained in the second
paragraph Of his letter are in the fullest
sense wholesome, and / believe MIR. Editor,
that were the writer known, the public
would also be bound to say, Oh yes that is
indeed just the person that may be held up
as a mark for example and precept, not for
our children alone, but for a community
generally.
And again in his third paragraph there is
also good encouragement to do the right
thing always. | believe that the primary
principle of man should be, to do his duty in
whatever sphere Of life he may be called to
and to do that duty faithfully, therefore L
presume that Musidorus who so clearly ad-
monlshss on this point must be a person to
bear comparison with any, a model, some
thing supremely excellent, and one who un-
der any condition Of circumstances can hold
his own under any government or people,
and also possessed Nth ample ability to fill
satisfactorily any position whatever. There
IS more than a mere tinge of sarcasm in the
language Of Musidorus here, but | also "desire
to Leave something unsaid for another CORE
spondent," and will merely quote these lines
which also embody good advice:
Don't haste to point out anolher's fault,
Your own may be but hidden.
And he should be the last to boast
Who has had The most forgiven.
! assure you Mr.. Editor that I for my part
gratefully accept all the friendly admonitions
Of Musidorus. / do not even consider it pre-
sumptuOus in him to attempt to advise me
about the means or expediency for improve
ment Of my friends and myself, l look upon it
all as being 50 SINGERS, and done with the
best reasons and for the purest Of ~aeotiues.
The wonder to me is that Musidorus shonld
write under a nom de plane at all; really l
think that the person so capable of admins
tering just reproof and of SO gratuitously
Offering sound advice should come on the stage
in his real name and receive the commentator
he SO richly deserves.
remain, Mr.. Editor,
Yours faithfully,
