 A cry of protest and a word of praise l hOated into the sanctum the other day | from two attractive wOm,N each un- l known to the other and from quite diff | terent parts of the Union. The protest was from young widow-a woman who | is used to admiration, tlattery and atten- | ton wherever she goes. There's no place | in Mobile for widows, was her plaint, and In that respect your city Is unique. l Everywhere else we are made much Of, l spoiled, fattered by men and envied by women. but here We are nothing There | is no place for uS-and we have to stand aside as philosophically as We can while | young girls scarce grown, walk off with | the attention that elsewhere would be | ours. Your young girls have the best of | times, and young married people have plenty of fun among themselves, but the | wid0W-simply isn't in It,
 The other word came from visitor | from portion of Alabama that shall be | namcIess-a girl so pretty and attractive | herself that she could well afford to | render admiration and praise to other l women.
 Your Mobile girls are wonderful" she | said, '"rhey have the best time of any | girls in any city l ever visited, and in | themselves they are every one a delight ful and interesting study. It wouldn't be i quite nice to say that every Mobile girl Is q born hirt, but 1 do say that appar- entity there is something in your soft, | sleepy air that develops the CoGuetry | latent in every woman. to a remarkable l degree and makes your girls dangerous, | irresistible, fascinating to men at home | and abroad. Nor did l ever sce,' she con | tinucd, ''dnV other girls manage men in | quite the same way that yOurs do. We spoil our men at home and small thanks we get for It. They take it merely as their | lordiy right Mobile girls. on the other | hand, treat their admirers just any old | way, with subtle mixture of hattery and indifference that holds them like a charm and appeals to them just the right way 1 am going home to try it, though the re- suit will probably be that will soon have a vista of long lonely evenings stretching ahead of me
