The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-02-09

For instance. woman was known to go
through a whole season in wretchedness
and misery every time she wore certain
bonnet, because the tilt of the feather
or pose Of a flower did not suit her. She
never grew weary of letting her family
and friends know the abject state of mind
she was in, nor what a guy she thought
she had been made by 1t. She lacked the
courage TO let her milliner know her tor
ment, and was wanting in sufficient self
confidence to seize a scissors, clip the
few threads of bondage, and move those
trimmings a few inches to this side or
that with her own fingers Had she been
forced in some way to so bold a step. heI
happiness in finding out she had dispelled
bugbear would have been an incentive
to skirmishes in other dress Businesses.
Something dreadful happened at one of
this weeks Madison avenue 8 o'clock's
says Clara Belle in a New York letter to
the Cincinnati Enquirer. The hostess at
the last moment decided that she wouldn't
have chairs enough, for evidently her say
ing, as she had, that Fuzzlewoggh would
play had attracted lot of folks So she
told the elevator boy to telephone some
where for campstools. There are plenty
OF places, you know, in the city where
and that genius of an elevator boy Sc
lected an undertaker's. He couldn't hear
through the telephone very well, and just
They wanted to know II there was any
thing else wanted, said they had an ex-
tremely pretty child's hearse and asked
thought they meant the man who was
going to play, and he hollered back that
he thought 1t was a man, but maybe Il
was child. He didn't want them to send
a. chair that wouldn't fit, though, so he
thought that he had better make sure
and he said to send along for both. They
asked If he wanted feathers, and he said
he didn't know, but to send whatever
went with 1t, and to send it all along
quick. 1t was about an hour after, and
all her guests were pouring in, when the
elevator boy appeared with his chair on
end. Said he in a loud whisper, The
hearses is came, nla'am, and the gents
dreSsed!'
One Of the best weapons in a woman's
once, says the New Orleans Times Demo
GRAFT, among three poets as to the most
powerful weapon a woman's hand could
WELD. The first said "a frown," and prov
ed his idea by stanza illustrating how
any and everything would yield before the
dread of .woman's continued frown. The
poet, tried to prove his ground by MUS Illus
trating the power of the tear drop, but
the third poet said "a smile,' and in
single line proved that he was right. Moth
ing can Withstand a smile, If It's beauty
be given full play. Clouds and gloom of
the outer world will appear as nothing
when the household is illuminated by the
brightness of which the smile is the token.
Inward gloom may be put to rout by
smile, and altogether 1t is of all charms
thS greatest One or the acknowledged
bellies of Pittsburg, a young girl whose de-
but last winter was the signal for one of
the most brilliant lists of entertainments
Pfttsburg has ever seen, cannot boast of
as much beauty as many of her less pop
ular sisters among the social buds" But
the secret of her charm lies in her smile.
Her eyes are clear and bright, her lips
full and red and her face is Constantly fr-
radiafed by the sunniest smile imaginable,
She has made herself a path of love wher-
ever she has appeared, and 1t may all be
attributed to that smile. If the girl who
wants TO be popular and the other girl
who has the nobler motive of giving hap
piness TO other hearts by her mere pres
ence will cultivate the gift of smile, the
world will be better place for all to live
in.
