a bit of fool Of herself However, the
circle will swing around, and she will
come back repentant and better wo-
man. To me there Is nothing so fine as
a gentlewoman, but she Is the result Of
the same good breeding-that is neces-
sary to make thoroughbred horses, and
if you take the trouble to look at it
you will find that tire women who are
clamoring to be called Women with
capital w, are the first of their kind.
They are strong in muscle and in brain,
and in another generation they will
have the edges rubbed off by the pun
ice stone of society, for not one Of
these women wants her daughter to be
what she is.
The most finished actress know
doesn't want her daughter to go on the
stage. The best public speaker l have
ever heard preferred that her daughter
should marry young and have a happy
home. The Women with a capital W
are the cause. The right kind of wo-
men are the effect, because she OF the
capital w is quite clever enough to see
her own mistakes and to bang and
FURNISH them out of her daughter. The
woman with a daughter shows her
greatest ambition by bringing out in
that daughter the desire of her heart.
She wishes her to dress quietly, speak
quietly, look well, gain the love of a
good man and have the joy of being the
mother of a dear little child. AS the
years go by the Woman with a capital
w finds the daughters home a resting
place. She doesn't know just why, be-
cause the children are making a noise
with their toys, while the little mis-
tress of the manse sings as she sweeps
and dusts and does not give thought
to the last new book on some erotic
and disagreeable topic, but there is a
rest in that home not to be found in

this quickness SO exactly suits the size,

or runs, but she never manages to keep
the singularly even, measured step that
never suggests hurry and yet is al
ways in time with that nice fellow with
whom she may have an engagement to
golf, to walk or merely to saunter. She
belittles little women, she makes the
women who walk badly seem common,
ordinary mortals, and she causes-snap-

awkward-indeed, no, for back of the

to enter. Do you think that women
and cards are incompatible? Do they
think that women and roulette do not
combine? Or do they think that wo-
men and men are best apart at the
gaming table? A pretty face might
cause man to make false move, or
an extremely beautiful face might in
duce a man to drop his cards and sit
in corner with her, where they could
talk en- tete-atete.
Well, perhaps it is best that women
are not allowed in the gambling house,
for they are gamblers from their birth.
Each will throw her heart upon some
thing as trifling as card and grieve
when it is lost. She will back a color
for a superstition and is able to laugh
while there is a funny lump in her
throat at the loss of the money that
maybe meant so much to her. No, it
is a good thing that lovely women and
the roulette table are not introduced to
each other. for the contest as to which
should rule would be great.

FAIR WOMEN
q ''' '<I PORTO RICO.
(Copyright. 1881


Beautiful and fascinating! That is
what travellers say Of Porto Rico's wo-
men. Like all women of Spanish
blood. they are dark, graceful and Ian
guild of manner; they have great, sleepy
eyes, which they know how to use with
telling effect, and soft voices that are
capable of a thousand modulations;
they are made for poetry and romance;
they have no aspirations for broader
sphere or an emancipated womanhood;
they are creatures of feeling, not of
thought-mere happy, healthy animals,
who are content to bask In the sum
shine and happiness of the day or sto-
ically TO endure its sorrows, with no
thought or hope for the morrow.
The Porto Rico people are of three
lasses-Spaniards, or descendants of
the early Spanish settlers, who were,
it is said, not of the highest type, as
Porto Rico was originally one of the
penal colonies of Spain: the second
class, mulattoes, the descendants of
negroes and Spaniards; the third. the
negroes Their. selves. Slaveholding was
in existence in Porto Rico until 1873.
None of the original Indian race now
exists

Long Branch more than any of the
other places is woman ridden. A great
many OF the men are away all day, and
the little village and the various drives
belong to the women and children. 1t
makes me wonder If people notice that
woman is swinging in a circle Years
ago she deplored the fact that she was
only asked to be lovable, to be good
hammered and to allow herself to be
taken care of. She is now having a
taste of the other side of it. She is
trying to be business-like, and she loses

sonal, and she breaks down and cries.
