struggling for foothold 10 the world OF

in itself lie fatal to the self effacement
which il 30 strong an element OF good

change in the habits and traditions Of

upon society.
WHAT SOCIETY WOMAN" MEANS.
By society woman" l do not mean
the type that fret presents itself, the
brilliant compound Of style. daring and
Paris gowns. whose life begins and ends
with entertaining and being entertained.
who puts the fashion OF q hand. shake,
the porcelain and the cut glass Of the
dinner table, and the cost Of an equip
age above the simple grsces and 6ne
breeding which betray the choice life OF
generations, or the Unborn taste and no
bility that ask nothing from inheritance.
l mean something that compares with it

mschine-msde imitation, az the rich
and mellow tones Of the cathedral win.
dow, which the light OF centuries has
tempered and softened. compare with
the crude and gsrnished coloring OF its
modern copy. There are society women
upon whom the mantle OF the old -time
lady has fallen, through nature or hertz
age. whose social gifts are the sum of
many gifte. the crown Of many womanly
virtues. One finds them everywhere,
women who cherish the fine amenities,
who are gracious, intelligent, tactful,
kind and active in all good worke, who
understand the art Of elegant living. as
we'll as the Intrinsic value Of things, and
like to open their hospitable homes tor
the pleasure OF their homes. 1t is such
as these who represent the finest flower
OF our womanhood and help to preserve
the traditions of gentle manners, which
are in the way OF being trampled out in
the mad march Of something We call
progress. 1t is for these to ostracize
vulgsrity, to put the delicate barriers
which have been permitted to be let
down between the pleasant comradeship
OF men and women, and the loud note Of
familiarity to temper the sordid spirit
Of commercialism with the refinement
of that higher class Of intellect which
sees things not only a. they are, but as
they ought to be.

BAD MANNERS AS EXHIBITED BY THE

Mre. Amelia Gere Mason discourses
in the August Century Of THE Deca-
deuce of Manners" Some Of her keen
est shafts are levelled at the girl Of the

1t seems triHe unjust to the clever
and well.bred American girl to dwell

scion Of equality does admit interiors

does not even know the alphabet, shows
neither respect for white hairs nor con-
sideration for favors which she claims
az right, and calls all this swell" or

ence.
The same spirit runs through the en-
tire sociel gamut. There is nothing
more contagious than bad manners; it

Fine City-County Combine.

While the republicans of the Second
ward thought they had gotten Deputy
Circuit Clerk Boney Johnson off the
track for the aldermanic nomination
in that ward. it is now stated he has
finally determined to strive to re-
tain mis- scat in the city council.
On top of this comes the an
nouncement that Deputy Sheriff f.
a. Andrews will make another effort
to secure a certificate in the Third
ward, he having entered the race for
the republican nomination, and it Is
not impossible that Deputy County
Clerk Johnny Rinck NAV be brought
out in the Fourth ward as repu blican
aldermanic candidate. If few more
of the deputy county office holders
distributed over the city could be in
duced to come out for aldermen and
their election made possible, it would
come pretty near to combining the
city and county governments.
