Mildred plays and doesn't care.
Arthur bucks the centre, thus
Spreading CONSERVATION;
For each yard he gains the crowd
! Yields its Appreciation;
Arthur's thoughts are centered there,
Arthur plays and doesn't care.
Mother grandly stands in line,
Graciously receiving
All, can she be forty-nine?
1t is past believing
| See the jewels on her there,
Mother CLEANS and doesn't care.
Father in his office lies
White and cold; beside him
Lies the letter telling why
Credit was denied him
Shrunken, wrinkled, beaten, there
Father lies and doesn't care.

Now that Mrs. Roosevelt has shown
that she dislikes indiscriminate hand
shaking, perhaps there will be less of
1t in that society which stands for the
highest culture Handshaking has
been overdone; it sometimes approach
es the sentimental Mrs. Roosevelt
showed her distaste for it at the OIL
cial reception in Albany where she
stood with smiling face and greeted
with a few pleasant words those VINO
passed her In her hands she held a
| large bouquet. Those who are most
ready with the hand are often narrow
of heart. An occasional handshake
may be deeply significant, but 1t
should be only occasional.

| In it's report of a lecture by Madam
Sarah Grand, the Brooklyn Standard
Union says
Notwithstanding that Madame Grand
hit sharply at many of mans we'll
| known and less Well-known faults and
failings, she offset them throughout by
corresponding reference to those OF
women, so that the most sensitive man
could not have regarded her as UNJUST
mr. Martial In fact, the lecture was in
terspersed with remarks to women on
their shortcomings. Notwithstanding.
the lecturer kept control of the subject,
which she had evidently studied most
thoroughly in a manner which showed
| a most intelligent as well as compre-
| hensive grasp. The broad character of
the lecture was it's especially pleasing
| feature. Anyone who expected mere
| TRADE against man was disappointed.
The lecture pointed a valuable lesson
| needed DIV men anu (WHICH VI NSNANS
who incline to antagonistic attitudes
on general questions, namely, that
faults and virtues are pretty evenly
divided between the two sexes. This
widely known authoress has been OFTEN
credited with being man-hater, out
her lecture yesterday certainly should
tend to remove any such impression.
| Her remarks about her father in the
beginning of her talk formed graceful
| tribute to him and to man generally, as
she said she had begun life with a
strong nretudice in favor of man which
had never been removed. Madame
Grand described mans different moods
with a skill which made her portray
ais easily recognized. Man is often
Judged or misjudged from some mood
which is in exact contradiction to one
which may succeed. Woman's duty to
man in the various relations which he
holds to her, in business and social life
and his corresponding duty to women
| in the same relationships, were ex-
pressed frankly and fairly, and If any
man in the audience felt that Madame
Grand had done him any injustice in
her earlier remarks, he must have felt
that it was atoned for in her later
ones, under the heading 1.-The best of
him" The advice to love, learn and
teach" with which the lecturer con-
cluded was given equally to woman as
to man.
Madame Grand is tall and fine-look-
| ing, and was handsomely robed in a
black gown trimmed richly with lace.
