The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1898-08-14

/ tnat When ! entered q closed car at the
I ferry this morning it was filled with men,
/ all fresh from the suburbs, Vet | know il
/ was not the OdOr OF woods and fields that
/ greeted me; it was a sweet, delicate, man
! ufactured perfume, and thought l would
ask you about it, so as to tell Dick"
| Men seldom buy perfume; they let
( their wives and EWeethearts furnish it,"
1 sagely remarked the more experienced Wo-
man.
The woman looked wise without smil-
/ ing, and said:
I when the one man in a hundred buys
/ perfume he gets Bouq glamour As a
! rule. men scOrn its use, as being some
| thing feminine, but if people will believe
/ the barber put it there they will MOI
mind. Dear old Marechal Mel that my
/ grandfather used IS being revived among
men aud women, think.
Mary Stuart has been knocked out of
( the market by many limitations. It is sell
! dom carried in stock now, and ranks with
/ Jockey Club and White Rose Peau d
/ itspagne is out now since the war No
one would think Of using that. Women
/ all run 10 viOlets. though once in a while
a striking brunette will be found who
uses carnation pnks. / would like to
know what that delightful perfume was,
| just the same"
You are sure. dear that il was not the
odor of new-mown hay, or-or-cider"
hesitated the married woman?
"Oh, no." said the girl decidedly. Guess
I'll ask Dick" And the mystery of the
perfume was stll unsolyed.
Man can always have his own way with
woman If he only knows how. Woman,
says a writer in the New York Sun, is as
easily managed a wax doll bur il must
be done by a somewhat circuitous method
She rarely gets at anything directly, and
she cannot be successfully dealt with by
the direct method. Nine times out of ten,
when there is trouble in a home ii is laid
to some one woman or all of the women
of the household, and yet ninety-nine
times out of hundred the man in the
family Is to blame. At least, that is what
two Brooklyn men say, and they ought 10
! know, for Brooklyn is a great place for
family and home study, or studies of the
family in the home, as you choose to put
il.
The said men are lawyers-clever law
/ erS-aud they know a thing or two about
man and woman nature web worth know
/ ing. They were telling a girl how easy
a is for man to manage woman the other
evening, and the girl toyed with the big
diamond on the third finger of her Left
hand rather nervously as she listened
The talk all started in this way:
II heard the most banging thing com
ing over on the Staten Island boat this
afternoon 1 ever heard remarked one
of the lawyers. "A young couple came
aboard and sat down directly in front of
me She was pretty girl and looked as
if she might have been married two or
three years. There was something pa
thedc in her expression, though, and l
found out what il was before the boat
landed. Her husband bosses her instead
of managing her He gets his own way
in everything by tyranny In preference 10
getting it by fatterng strategy, and the
very life and spirit of course, are being
. Nt1t Of
are out of every other woman who is
managed in such a bunging way"
why, l thought that the majority of
wives ruled their husbands" exclaimed
the girl In fact, every time I've been
abroad I've spent the best part of my
I time telling my English, French and Ger
man friends what fine husbands you
American men are, how indulgent you are
/ TO your wives and how you allow thens
! to have their own way in everything"
"Of course, American men make the
/ best husbands in the word" put in Mr..
! Lawyer No. 2, but man nature is man
nature the word over, and man in Amer
lea likes his own way in everything just
as well as man in Germany, Russia,
/ Greece or Egypt. The keynote of this
/ Whole business is that the American man
/ is shrewder in the management of wom-
en-, just as he is shreweder in everything
else than is the man of any other coun-
try on the face of the earth"
"Thafs The whole thing in a nutshell"
/ answered the other lawyer AS l was
saying this exceptional man on the ferry
/ boat bcssed his wife instead of managing
her. He buried his face in his paper and
did not speak to her the whole way over.
She made some pleasant remarks and he
gave a grunt for a reply, and when she
asked him question about a government
. vessel lying off shore he did not even
grunt, much less answer. Just before we
docked she said 10 him in a half timid,
wholly mellow voice.
Dearest, don't you think we might go
up town in an open car? It will be so
much cooler She looked all tired out by
the heat.
- No he answered deliberately and DIS
tincdy I have said we would go up town
on the elevated. l should think that would
settle it, madam
1T settled her I can tell YOU glared
at that man. and he giared at me, and the
poor little woman looked away off TO-
ward the sea helplessiy. l would have en-
joyed tossing him overheard but as it was
! pited her as a slave and him as not
master, but slave driver. That man, by
his own doing, is slave TO unhappiness."
Yes said the other man, land he
could have gone up town by the route he
preferredand his wife would have thought
thar that was the only way to ge TO their
destination"
"HoW?' asked the girl.
"Oh, by using a little decent diplomacy.
He should have said Dearie, by which
way do you prefer to go up town.? Shed
have been tickled and hattered over be-
Ing consulted that she would have spon-
/ taneously answered, oh, | want to go
whichever way you want TO go Women
always do that and this man could have
/ gone on the elevated railroad, as he wish
! ed, getting his own way, and his wife
would have been content, pleased even
/ happy into the bargain. 1t may only
/ take the trouble TO appear to give a wo-
\ man her way, he invariably gets his, and
both are happy, for 1t is woman's nature
| TO want to please those who are her own.
| Man should seek to manage woman, not
/ TO master her. When a woman is man
/ aged she blossoms out iikt a great south
/ ern rose and sheds sweetness and beauty
on all around her; when she is mastered,
/ she loses all of her youth, her vivacity
her interest in life. Her spirit Is broken.
