THE ART OF PLEASING,
What Young Girl Should and
Should Not Do


In an old number of a very popular jour
nal for ''ladies, read not long since an
article called The Art of Pleasing Men"
! wish that every mother in the land would
read that article carefully, and then ask
herself ''Is this the sort of teaching for
my girl-cnildren?''
The writer tells first how girl Who is
so fortunate as to have young men callers
may make herself agreeable to them.
Then she takes up the case of a girl who
is so unattractive that young men never
call on her and tells the unattractive one
how she may attract men. The directions
are as follows
At some party or church social she is to
look around and find. if she can, Young
man who, like herself, is unattractivc to
the opposite sex. If she knows him she
is not to wait for him to come to her but
she is to 20 to him and make herself IT'S
attractive as possible. If she does not
know him she is counselled to ask for an
introd uction.
The unattractive young man, we are as
sured. will be enthusiastic in praise of he
unattractive young lady who is trying I o
be attractive. and ''other men, "led1n t'y
his praises" will come and seek for IN
Productions" and the happy consumma-
ton of this little trickery will be that
s'some day the man she is waiting for " i'll
come" and with him, we are positively
assured, "will come the greatest joy and
happiness that earth can give to n wom-
an"
Mothers search the back numbers ofthat
journal till you find this article; read it
carefully, and think you will agree with
me that its title should have been, How
Woman May Make Man-trap Of Her
self" And if any mother in America can
say that following such advice will re-
suit in the highesttype ofwomanhood, then
| God pity her daughters!-Womanki

SHE Is 4 MEXICAN BELLE.
An Unmatched Beauty and Mistress
of the Art of CaDtiyatinn

The Mexican 'be.leZa' Is = born cOquette
and mistress of the art Of captivation. Her
eyes OF limpid night are dernurely pensive,
alnostUo sadness, and thelon CLASHES which
partially curtain them droop languidly and
apparently without purpose. But all this
is only to vel the sly glances constantly
sweeping here and there for fresh con-
quests The eyes OF Latin beauty are sim
ply magnificent III their changing express
sions; they perfectly mirror every shade
of sentiment in the southern soul. The face,
too, dangerously demurc, unless lighted up
by q radiantly captivating smile, can hard
ly be matched for beauty the wide world
around, when egarded in allits harmony of
cleaning teeth, countenance, ,delcately tint
ed and dimpled; raven hair falling in waves
upon the marge OF The high, white forehead,
and the film of the lace wrought SeviliaDa,
careleSsly tossed with true Castillan grace
upon the head. a corner of the lace heal
wrap lightly kisses forehead and cheek and
makes fit crowning 10 the gracefuily-lined
form, shawled in the silken folds Of sweep
ing fringe of the costly tapalo, brought
over from Spain as family heirloom many
years ago. There is no costume more be-
fitting the occasion than these Anddlusian
shawls and lace head draperies, re-en-
forced by the Spanish fan, innocent in it
self, but whole battery Of cXpreSsiveness

SEARCHING FOR HER RELATIVES.
The Police Are Unable to Find
Miss Simmons Friends.

The police OF the Fourth precinct are
trying to locate the relatives or friends of
Miss Juliana Simmons, a maiden lady, well
advanced in years, who was found dead in
her bed yesterday morning. at No. 81 3 ID
street southwest, where she lived in a
single room.
Miss Simmons was recuse and mys-
terry to her landlady. She came to the
house less than one month ago and rented
the room in which she lived. She came
from Baltimore, and received at intervals
a remittance of money from some unknown
point by express.
After viewing the remains and deciding
that death was due to heart trouble,
Coroner Hammett ordered the body turned
over to Undertaken Lee until the family
of the dead woman can be heard from.

The ARIOH'S BAL MASQUE
A Gay ThrOng Enjoyed the Singing
Soeiety's Hospitality
Much Originality Shown in the Dis
gGises and Several Valuable
Prizes Were Awarded.

The Aron Singing Society has long
since gained a reputation for doing moth
ing by sections. That i 5 the reason the
grand masquerade ban given a Odd Fellows
Han, on seventh street northwest, be
tween j. and Z streets, was success
The managing committee had made every
arrangement tor the nIaSG ueraderS to have
q iood time. They had it.
The members 3ni friends of the society
gathered TO the number of fully 500 The
Old folks and the children Were there.
Along with the rest came the beaux and
their swcethearts When tie Two lalt er
classes had arrived il is needless 10 say
they We're in the ma .ority.
1t required no Imagination to place the
scene in the Fatherland. Those who did
not masquerade put on the best they hal,
even if it was not the conventional black
or the ballroom gown, and sailed forth
TO enjoy themselves. When the orchestra
was not playing or the masqueraders max
ing noise, everybody was singing German
songs. An adjoining room echoed with the
clink of glasses, where the amber brew
was on tap and the savory odor of viands
1IOdted through Tie open door.
The costumes were happily original and
the groups were excellent. AT the close of
the march the prizes were awarded. The
awarding committee was composed of Mr..
Eltricb, Of the Washington Review; Dr.
strack, of the Washington Journal, and
Mir. Carl Bachschmid.
To Mrs Carl Gundlach was awarded the
first ladys prize, a silk umbrella She was
charmingly gotten up as Little Egypt, >
and, from the applause, the judges de-
ciSiOn was popular one. MIR. Solomon
Goldschimdt, arrayed as an energetic
member Of the Metropolitan police force,
captured the gentleman's first prize. This
was also an umbrella. Mr.. CaTl Gundlach
received money prize for the best
character uasque He was mounted on
donkey Of ingenious conception.
Two group prizes were also awarded.
Tie first was given 10 Free Cuba, OF which
hr W. II Monroe was the leader. The
second group was a contingent from
"Hogan'S Alley Mr.. George Ruhl being
the yellow kidt and star figure.
The dance that followed Lasted until the
small hours OF the morning.

MIR. CAGES PLAN.
1t Doesn't Correspond With That
of Another Distinguished Banker.

To the Editor of The Times:
Mr.. Lyman Gage, president of national
bank III Chicago, and the choice OF Mr..
Mckinley FOR Secretary of the Treasury,
has sannouncedhis plan for monetary reform.
He would retire greenbacks and silver
notes, disuse and sell the silver. Then
supply gold notes to the banks as the
only paper currency.
These notes would be loaned to the banks
at one-lialf Of one per cent, the security
given TO be such as provided in the Balt-
more plan, submitted three years ago by
the national bank convention held in that
city Mr.. Gage admits that the country
wild cat emission OF paper, but dignifies
ii as a scientific method.
Consider the advice OF another banker
of greater prestige and experience than
Mr. Gage, and given under very similar
conditions. John Earle Williams, OF the
New York National Metropolitan Bank,
stood at the head Of his professionin in 1873.
He was president of the National Bankers
Association when he died, soon after that
date. Senator Sherman then head OF the
Finance Committee, sought his advice after
the panic OF 1873, and asked him what
was the matter and what the remedy?
Mr.. Williams replied in letter to MIR.
Sherman and asserted, first, that the cause
of the panic was an insufficient supply of
money second, as theremedy, that Congress
assume the inherent sovereign prerogative
of a government for, Of and by the people
by furnishing all the people with q uniform
national currency; third, to carry into
effect this principle substitute United States
notes for bank notes, take away as soon
as practicable and forever all cir
culation from the banks, withdraw ma
tional bank notes and in lieu thereof
issue United States notes. To facilitate
this process, require that at least 25 per
cent of the circulation Of each bank be
surrendered annually. A commission care
fully selected would be able to reach a
satisfactory result and to approximate
the percentage OF increase of currency to
meet the growth OF population and business.
Mr.. Williams discussed these propo-
sitions at length and the various objections,
and closed by asking Mr.. Sherman to get a
bill through Congress TO carry out these
views and TO provide that the law take ef-
feet before July 4, l S76, that we may eel
citrate together our political and financial
indepen dence!' Certainly John Earle
Williams is an authority quite equal TO
Mr.. Lyman d. Gage. History

be further increased by the proceeds Of
the lecture by DR.. Rogers, to be given
tonight at the Church Of Our Father.
Further distribution of meals will also
be made by the Associated Charities, the
Central Union Mission and the feutenants
of police, in accordance with the arrange
ment with Col. Staples Of the National
Hotel.
The plan put in practice yesterday at
the Central Union Mission was that every
case be investigated by the agents of the
mission without reference to the Asso-
ciated Charities.
Although, as was shown in The Times
yesterday, great deal OF charitable work
was done last week, the recurrence If the
cold and the rain will, doubtless cause a
great many to ask again for the help of
all the agencies.

FORMING A BowLERs, LEAGUE.
The National Bowling Congress to Re
Held in Cincinnati.

Chicago, Feb 1.-H. E. Correll and j. NJ.
Kehlor, of the Chicago Bowling Club. have
been appointed delegates to the annual ses-
sion of the National Bowling Congress, to
be held in Cincinnati February 3. The Chi
cago club has instructed its delegates TO
work for the proposed national league. The
plan for national intercity bowling leagIe
has long been talked OF, and present indca-
tions point to the early formation of such
an organization, patterned somewhat after
the National Baseball League.
The following cities will send delegates
to the congress: New York, Brooklyn, Gin
cinnati, Chicago, Buffalo, Cleveland. Kan
sas City and Wheeling, W. Va. The scheme
generally talked of as the most feasible
is that of each city bowling on home alleys,
the scores to be transmitted by telegraph
as the game progresses.
This would save the expense of travel
ing and make the scores higher and more
uniform, inasuuch as every team would do
all it's rolling on its own alleys.

DISTRICT BOWLING LEAGUE.
Individual and Team Standing at
End of Third Series.


Not since the organization of the ma ior
bowling league OF the District of Column
bia has there been so much interest in
the standing of the several teams COM
posing it, nor have the teams at this stage
of tile game been so closely punched be-
fore.
About three-fifths OF the full series of
games lave been played, and although
the Saengerbund has at present a very
comfortable lead for the championship
with margin of or per cent, it is still
anybody's race, so well matched are the
teams.
The Saengerbund now stands with .577
in percentage, and its nearest competitor
is the Washington Athletic Club, with
800 per cent.
For some unaccountable reason the Car
| roll Institute team OF players, the twice
winners Of the District championship have
failed so far this season 10 keep up their
winning form, and their in and out"
| playing has surprised their admirers and
kept them at the bottom Of the list at
| the same time.
At the end of December's series, B.
| Locraft, Of the CAROLS, led the league,
| with $50 LA as his average, and now
| he is fourth, with / 80 1-3. Only tenn
! porarily Tony Rice topped the list, and
then fell back, and is third, giving way to
Schlessinger, Of w. A c., whose average
is 50 $40, who is now second to Bruegger,
| OF the Saengerbunds, who leads with d
staying margin on an average of 100 5-13.
The Saengerbund leads in every line
| OF totals, except in total OF strikes, in
which the CAROLS have the call with 2S2
| to their credit
The following table shows the individual
| averages and totals Of all players in the
