Of the Populist party which believe IN
railroad legislation, enforcement of law
and honest administration were against
Governor Leedy. but they had no organ
ization, no candidate, no acquaintance
with each other. The only time they
polled their full vote was when they
iolted the governors police policy and
they did that with whoop. If they had
known how strong they were, even the
office-holding gang could not have pre-
vented the nomination of new CANDIDATE

WOMAN'S WORLD

Some months ago, says the Philadelphia
Times, there was a very interesting aru-
Gle in the English Illustrated Magazine,
entitled "How Women Are Won," but l
have looked in vain for another on the
subject, which is It's natural corollary. l.
e.. How Men Are Won" And yet, con-
sidering the large majority in which wo-
men now find themselves in English So
ciety, it is far more important for them
TO know how to get husbands, and to keep
their love, than for men to be shown how
to gain wives. The problem to patertami-
las, What Shall 1 Do With My Boys?
is not nearly so hard of solution as the one
his wife has to solve, How shall l find
husbands for my daughters?' He can send
his sons abroad or to colonies to shift
for themselves to sink or swim by their
own exertions; but the time has not yet
come when she can send her daughters
after them on the same errand. No doubt
if she could do so a solution of the prob
lem would soon be found, for they prob
ably would speedily find husbands-of
sort-in oar colonies where men are far
more numerous than women. As matter
of fact, there is no derth of Englshmen
in the world, but only scarcity of those
who are eligible matrimonially in Eng
land and it is with the question of how
there are won and kept that we propose
to deal
Most people would say at once that
beauty is the magnet which attracts and
wins the prize, but a glance around should
make us pause, for many plain women
are wives, and many good-looking ones
remain old maids. What is the reason of
their want of success?
There is little doubt that beauty, com
bined with money and smartARss is we'll

of them. The reason must lie deeper;
there must be other qualities which may
more than make up to a woman for the
want of those brilliant ones which are 80
evident on the surface.
The majority of English women are not
blessed with an abundance of this world 3
goods, and, alas, many of them have only
a moderate share of good looks How do
these win lovers and husbands? What is it
that makes a man long for the society If
one woman, 10 whom he feels he never can
express all that he wants to say while
upon another, who may be far superior in
physical gifts, he only looks as a beau
uful statue? One babbes to him of her
amusements, her friends, or her nets
while the other draws from him his secret
aspirations, his pet theories, his true ideas
on his faVorire subjects, and even his ox-
periences in his "affaires du occur" One
treats him TO a sample of the froth of life,
whilst the other eympathizes with him in
the deepest depths which he had sounded
in the world, and unlocks the condolences
which are nearest to his heart without any
apparent effort.

life, crave its fun and round and whole

realizations far short of the ideal, for the
perfect article could only be found in a
more perfect world than this.

Goelet must easily be accorded the palm
for physical perfection and her fortune is
varfously estimated at between one and
three millions.
She is slender, dark-eyed, dark-haired
girl, just turning into the nineteenth year,
and has been very carefully educated in
France, Germany and England. Last year
she formally made her debut in London,
was presented at court and created SEN
sation all her own. Al every one of the big
balls she wore invariably the crispest tulle
frocks; white tulle, pale pink tulle, green
or yellow tule. No matter the color il was
ever tulle and but once did she deiSn 10

Mrs Ogden Goelet herself is still most
youthful looking and handsome woman

is scarcely matter of surprise that these
two American ladies are entitled to the
best the matrimonial market of all Europe
can afford.
Miss Astor, though not so fair to look
upon as Miss Goelet, has yet sweet
enough face and manner TO win her way
IN any society. She greatly resembles her
lovely and gracious mother in both mind
and person and as the hostess, in the
great mansion in Carleton House Terrace
and at stately Cleveden she bears herself
with becoming dignity. Miss Aston is not,

The following are some of the chunks
of wisdom on matrimony from the Atchi-
son Globe
A bride always starts in by giving her
husband half the clothes-closet, but with
in three weeks all his clothes will be
hanging on four nails.
When a woman says that she can't do
this or that because her husband will not
let her, how nice and old-fashoned il
sounds!
After a man gets married he can create
a positive sensation any time by appear
ing in new suit of clothes.
When a man is ashamed of the fact that
he Is about to get married he will make
a poor husband.
Most shirt waists at this season look as
faded as a woman who has been married
ten years.
Never remind people who have been
married longer than six weeks that they
married their ideals.
Unfortunately few married women be-
come so philosophical that they can laugh
until after they have grown SO old and
fat they shake.
Some complaint Is made of the men be-
cause they don't take their wives bou-
quets as they did In their counting days
Still every woman knows that If her hus-
band brought home a costly bouquet she
would tell him that il would have been a
great deal more sensible TO have bought
a new teapot or to have put the money
in the bank.
How long can a bridegroom be kept in
a good humor? An Atchison woman
boasts that her promptness with meals
and her cooking were such that she was
married seven months before her husband
had occasion to get out the word damn"
and brush it off.
