A Long Island FisheryyOman.

Montauk Point, Long Island. has a fish
erwoman. She is the wife of William
Champlin, a bayman who every Spring
goes out for the cod in Napeague harbor.
This season the run of cod has been good,
and every boat in the vicinity has been
taking heavy hauls. Therefore when
Champlin's partner was taken sick last
week he couldn't get another bayman TO
take his place. They were all out for
themselves. 1t takes two men to handle
cod satisfactorily, and Champlni was in
despair.
been" he said to his wife, land I'm left
without a man to help me in the boat
take me-, said his wife. There
aren't many baymen on this shore that
know more about the boat"
Maybe that's So admitted Champlin,
''but you couldn't stand the work and the
weather
The woman stretched out a brawny pair
of arms.
There's muscle enough in those" she
said, land l guess L can stand as much
weather as the next"
Accordingly she was fitted out in the
sick mans fishing clothes, and went with
her husband. Their tally for the first
days trip was the fine haul of us fish.
Champlin now boasts that she's the best
mascot on Long Island. The trainmen on
tho railroad have not yet become quite
reconciled to having a woman clad in d
fishermans outfit help them load the fish
boxes on the cars while a year-old baby
oversees the performance with a becoming
gravity of demeanor from the platform
Mrs Champlin is a young Englishwoman
She is tall and strong.

Cocktails Misnnmcd.

The latest fad in New York is to drink
tea at the Waldorf-Astoria, and every
afternoon between 4 and 6 o'clock the
tea parlors of that hotel are crowded
with women, who make it a rendezvous
TO meet their friends at a place of rest
and refreshment after their shopping.
The average attendance is about 500,
but on Wednesdays and Saturdays you
will find from 1.500 to $500 women
drinking tea, eating ices and sweetmeats
and taking cocktails, which are made
weak and served in dainty lit
tie japanese cups, as thin as egg
sheels. and about as large as an, after
dinner coffee cup. Of course, no woman
of refinement will call for cocktail
at hotel or anywhere else, for that
matter, but that's what they get when
they ask for Astoria punch" There is
always a band of music, an orchestra or
a mandolin club playing, and generally
a program of vocal and instrumental
solos through the two hours, and the
very best class of music is furnished.
81 don't go visiting any more said
one of the fashionable women of upper
New York Il come down to these teas
two or three times a week, and meet
everybody that / want to see. 1t saves
a lot of trouble and time. You can see
a dozen of your friends here in the same
time ii would take you to drive to and
from the residence of any one of Them

NEW KINDS OF GIRLS.
Heroines of Old Novels Not ActuaIi-
ties in Modern Life.

Charlotte Yonge found the average
of girls forty years ago with shallow
knowledge and ignorant OF everything
solid and important; they were taught
certain accomplishments with a smatter-
ing Of anything you please; women were
not considered capable" of serious
study; men did not consider IL necessary
TO attempt serious conversation with
them. The middle class looked forward
to no more than to become a housewife
and matron. The wealthy girl who had
nothing to do and had learned nothing
was a doll to be dressed. Do you want
to realize the position of women in the
first half of this century? You have only
to read Vanity Fair, >" "Pendennis," or
David Copperfield.' Laura, in Pen
dennis" is meek, quiet. Submissive; so
