The meeting held at the opera
house last afternoon to discuss the
question of fancy dress versus mas

ladies, two or three gentlemen being
present to assist their fair friends in
coming to decision. The proceed
ings were not exactly parliamentary
perhaps, yet no doubt they were
more satisf ictory to the fair artici
pants than had they been conducted
according to rule. Everybody had
the floor at once and it is safe to say
that everybody expressed her pecu-
liar views upon the subject. Some
were in favor of having merely a.
fancy dress ball, while others want
sbai masqne." No vote was taken, we
understand, but it was finally deter
mined by somebody-or perhaps
everybody-that everyone should
have his or her own sweet way, and
go maskedor not, as they choose. In
other words il is to he fancy dress

ed out n protest about the eNtravagance of
the age 1t was the idea of its beauty
might have been alluring which called
forth her protest.
The true husband spoiler says a writer
in the New Orleans Picayuue, is the spin
ster who marries late in life She may
have refused any number OF good chances
in her carly days, but when age ereeps on,
ano she sees lonely life staring her in
the face, and thinks her opportunities are
all gone BY, she Is surprised and-shall
one say so ungallant a thiug?-weu, then
pleased a I having her charms still recog-
nized The man who Is looking for the
kind of wife WHO will have what be likes
to eat. who will keep his slippers warm by
the fire, and let him smoke in the parlor,
should not overlook the unmarried ladies
of what, is automatically called, an un-
certain age.
It's funny, isn't it, how the world plays
at cross purposes. Now. there's the man
who is fussy about his eating, and always
wants to dress the salad at the table him
self why can't he have enough sense TO
marry a domestic kind of girl who likes
to cook. Think what an idyic life they
could have together inventing new flats,
and surrounded by an aroma of connubial
bliss and good cookifg. But he never
marries her on the contrary, he goes
out of his way to wed a Despectacled wo-
man, who let's the bread burn while she
reads Emerson's essays. and who believes
in plain living and high thinking. You
have observed the fatal surety with which
the man devoted to the Y. NJ. c. A., and
who leads the prayer meeting, marries lit
tie Miss Frivolity? And his step brother,
who leads the german, is sure to marry
some little brown wren of a woman, who
would never stir away from her own nest
if she could help it. How often have we
seen her meekly following him around to
balls and parties and the opera bored to
death, and miserable because she feared
the cat was left in the kitchen, or the
baby uncovered, but trying her best to
keep up with her gay husband. Poor
souls, how easily it might have all been
avoided if they had only kept in their
own class. Most of this trouble has come
about by people believing in that absurd
old theory about the attraction of oppo-
sites. That's the greatest nonsense in the
world. What we want is sympathy, not
contradicuon-some one who rides the
same hobbies as we do and who will canter
along at our sides. When we finally learn
to marry people who have the same reli-
gion and politics and like the same kind Of
cooking as we do ourselves. The divorce
courts will make an assignment for lack
of business.

IL II. F." writing in Harpers Bazaar,
says: Some years ago when colleges for
women were new in this country, and
when the world of fashion was apt to look
askance at any but old conventional ways
of educating its daughters, an ambitious
young friend of mine, belonging to a fam
lily with no means but with many social
traditions, went to one Of these institu-
tions, determined on the higher education
for herself.
She was almost the only representative
of ner particular station in life, and for
long time she was viewed with a suspicion
she failed to understand When at last
some trouble befell her, n professor, who
meant TO be kind, explained the situation
in these words: You know when you

The Rector's Daughter
Tripping softly down the aisle,
With a brave religious air
And a sinful little smile,
Comes the rector 5 daughter.
Kneels she in the family pew,
Bends her pretty head in prayer,
As her father tells her to,
And her mother taught her
Eyes and hair as black as night,
Cheeks and lips like roses.
Little teeth, all pearly white,
Has the reetor's daughter;
Form as frail as cyclamen,
Tiniest of noses
Who shall blame the many men
That have vainly sought her?
Sings she with hundred charms
Holy hymns and olden,
Just as though an angels arms,
Heaven sent had caught her,
~ Yet these ways of sanctity
One small soul embolden-
For to-day She winked at me,
Did the rectors daughter.

but they need never seem coarse or neg
lected. Just at present gloves are being
sold to meet the special needs of a pracu-
cal housekeeper-big loose, red rubber
gauntlets that are for slipping on when
tender fingers must go in hot water. There
are white rubber ones, too, for use when
kneading dough; big chamois-skin ones
for busting and sweeping, and special ones
to wear on days when the family silver
must be polished or the brass andirons
touched up.
