The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1899-04-30

When a young man asks the hand of a
daughter in marriage, her father demands
10 KNOW what he can do towards support
ing the girl In the luxury to which she
mas oeene accustomed. The young man
might well retort by asking what can
she do towards making me as comfort
able a home as my mother always has.
II Is not necessary that a girls dover
should be money. She may bring its equiv
alent in good sense, and good judgment
ana knowledge of domestic affairs that
are better than any fortune We all know
that in the business world no firms are
more sure TO succeed or more to be dread
ed as rivals as those composed of two
young people with q little capital and an
unlimited amount Of energy and determin-
alton and hope and cheerfulness.
But after all the question comes back
to the original proposition-that it all de-
pends upon the girl. Not all society girls
are wasteful and eXtravagant and ineffi-
cient, and not all poor girls are models
OF economy and thrift, and there you are
with your choice between them. There is
one golden maxim for your guidance.
When you choose a wife, choose one with
sense-not necessarily literary talent or
artistic knowingness, but good, hard COM
common sense, and all other good qualities
VIII be added unto it.
An English paper, says a London letter,
has been telling in brief sentences how
certain well-known women talk II saws
that in the conversation of the Duchess
OF Marlborough there is something origi-
nal and uncommon. Mrs. H NJ. Stanley
is hueht speaker. Neither the Princess
of Wales nor the Duchess of Fife is
great talker. Princess Beatrice is very 81
lent. Ellen Terry is addicted to enthusi-
asm over all that appeals to her warm
heart. Lady NaylorLeland emphasizes
her words with a graceful gesture Mrs.
Beerbohm Tree has many interests, chief
ly personal. Mrs. Cragie is distinctly self
conscious, while Lady Randolph Churchill
takes foremost rank among contemporary
mistresses of conversation"
Nine. Sarah Bernhardt thinks of visiting
India next year. For this purpose a yacht
is being fitted up for her, which prom
ises TO be an artistic triumph. 1t is said
that M. Pierre Lott is to be its captain
so much are the American cousins ap-
preciated over here, in their social capac-
ity" says the last number of The Lady's
Pictorial, that a society of American
women in London will assuredly be sue
cessful. 1t is formed by Americans who
are resident among us, and it's formation
makes for brightness hospitality and that
sympathy between themselves which is
are living away from home The member
ship must be American, but it is to be
among the pleasures of the society to- offer
| occasional Inequalities to English friends
A monthly luncheon at the Hotel Cecil
is to be one of the features of the society
at which there will be women of every ma
tionality. Mrs. Hugh Reid Griffin is pres
ident and with the well-known powers of
the sisters from across the Atlantic as
| charming hostesses, they can confidently
| look forward to good times among them
selves, and their invitations are sure 10
be eagerly coveted by women of other ma
tons The scheme also includes bringing
together women who are engaged in liter
airy, artistic, scientific and philanthropic
pursuits, with view to giving opportuni-
ties of helping each other and combining
to assist in good Objects
Sun bonnets of every description are
seen in the shops and exchanges. and
there is no doubt that they are to be the
rage. The average outdoor girl, saws the
New York Herald must possess at least
half dozen of these creations. In the
country they are Indispensable. Some
times she fashions them herself, but this
is no small task, and requires time and
taste and skill
Nothing could be more becoming and
picturesque than some of the lovely com
binations of muslin, lace and ribbon which
are already shown. They are in plain col
ors, or Powered in bright or male colors
10 suit every taste. Some are soft and
dropping, and others are made on stiffened
forms. They have strings, or they have
not, but the strings, if there. are unlikely
ever to be tied. 1t would seem to indicate
that the summer girl intends to nav some
regard TO her complexion. and not go hat
less in the sun. as she did last season.
I'd hate to pay that woman's dentist
| bills" said a business man to n Chicago
Inter-Ocean reporter, on a South Side T,
train the other day. Across the aisle from
the men was woman who showed enough
gold every time she opened her mouth 10
make man want to leave home and try
his fortune in the KIondike. Two of her
upper teeth had been replaced by pieces
of FURNISHED metal. and one of ner lower
teeth also had twenty-two-carat sheen
about it. Her companion had only one
gold tooth, but she kept it doing the work
of three by a constant smile
That's another case of the old adage
All that glitters is not gold,' said the
| business mans friend. One of the latest
dental novelties makes gold teeth possible
to any one al small cost and without
even sacrificing a healthy incisor to make
room for the metal For a quarter you can
get a shell that can be stuck over any
front tooth, and with an excuse to smile
you can present irregular gold mine to the
astonished public. Actresses first affected
the gold tooth and then the Yankee man
got an idea. In a short time there was an
epidemic Of gold teeth The novelty man
came out with his plated shells and sold
them like hot cakes, No one but the
dentist has. any kick against the imitation
gold tooth, and as a dazzler il is hard to
| beat That woman's teeth may be the real
stuff, but I believed she can slip them off
when she wants, 10 and get them plated
when they are furnished.
As 81 years have elapsed since Gothe's
