Sunday morning globe., 1901-10-27

meeting for the GLOBE My friend said
"Why. you'll never meet Maggie tonight,
and If she made am appointment with you,
She will certainly not keep it,
But protested, 'shc was SO anxious TO
have me come, aud even asked me to bring
another friend who is visiting me from the
far South"
"Il does no, matter" she responded
you cannot depend ON these spiritualists.
Tel YOU what when yuu have had as much
10 do with them az / hav, you will iud out
that they are so high strung and nervous,
and live In such a constant strain Of excite
ment, mentally and physically that you
caunot depend upon them to do what they
agree to do, because they cannot always re-
member what they have said, and may not
always be iu the same frame of mind or
under the same influences. Besides, /
happen to know that Maggie Gaule is to be
present at a wedding tonight at the very
house where she Is "a guest You know she
cannot be in two places at once, now can
she1'
"Well, " said l. ~ is not positively proven
TO me that she cannot be in two places at
the same time. Is she not a spiritualist2"
Nov, don't jest, Rosalie,' said my
friend, and she again assured me that
would be unable to meet the other party to
the appointment for the following night
In the meantime a request for several
copies Of the GLOBE had come to me, as
they were wanted by some members Of the
local delegation Of this convention ON ac-
count Of certain articles in which they were
interested at the time, and it was desired TO
distribute some of the papers as supporting
this view 90, armed with about a dozen
copies. / went up to the meeting TO be as
sured by the obliRng usher that Miss Gaule
had not yet arrived Such would seem to
be the understanding of my friend Of the
night before that she would never arrive
this evening; so as time was precious, ye
scribe wcnded her way elsewhere aud for
got the incident Next morning what was
my surprise to read in the daily papers a
very interesting account of the meeting at
the Masonic Hall of the night before, at
which Miss Margaret Gaule of this city
gave some interesting tests Well. Surely
one cannot depend on these spiritualists
] mused and began TO believe that In her
earnestness TO impress me with this fact my
Chicago friend had all unconsciously de-
scribed her own failing In this respect
Miss Gaule, duly apologize for the non
appearance of the write-up suggested And
] cannot yet understand the animus of the
earnest injunction to desist from an attempts
to see her on the night Of the wedding men
toned,
Now, I protest In the headlines of my
modest contribution to the GLOBE Of last
week the able editor thinking no doubt, to
please me, announced the fact that all read
ers might find bright spicy and piQuaut
essays by this interesting Blue Stocking"
Meaning, Of course, ye scribe. In this same
article mention is made Of the fact that the
writer was a "rabid rebel gal, and how
could this agree with being a Blue Stock
ing?" What is It to be a Blue Stocking,
anyhow? ! confess never did know. But
have always supposed it meant to be very,
very learned, and ever 50 tall and hand
some, and ever and ever so dignihed, and
again, to have all blue blood in your veins
to the extinction Of any life giving, warm,
red blood. For is il not a generally ac-
cepted fact that very tall and very beautiful
and very learned people have very little real
heart interest in those about them and think
only of the impression they are making on
the world' Idonotmean to get philosophi-
cal, nor enter into any discussion Of alb
stract thoughts or things, but 1 would like
to know what a real Blue Stocking girl is
like or expected to be like OH Nj
Editor please read copy, and please edit
mine especially, for it sadly needs it, often
times, I admit
