How much does a man love a
woman?" The question, asked in more
than one popular novel of the day and
mooted by several correspondents, is
OF those to which there can be no
definite answer. AS well assign fixed
velocity TO the wind, which "bloweth
were 1T liSteth;" the wind which dies
to dead calm one day and RACES as a
hurricane the next.
There are men and men, and what
is still more important in the problem,
there are also women and women. To
one man love may be merely an cpl
sode, flower plucked by the wayside
and worn until faded, then cast aside
readily for another quite as pretty in
his eyes. To another man, on the con-
trary, it may be as the breath of life,
bound with all his heartstrings," his
cherished vine and fig tree under which
he builds his homeland the loss of
which leaves him desolate. One can
measure feeling and emotion only by
their visible effects.
There have been men, not a few,
who, craving love, have counted all
else worthless without it, and finding
the one precious drop lacking in the
cup of life have cast the goblet from
them and gone shrieking out into the
dark unknown, curSing fate and de-
flying the future, in mad despair at it's
absence. Fortunately for the race, men
and women alike, such lovers are the
exception. There are many more men
who love as well, but more sanely, who,
denied their hearts desire, are hence
forth bankrupt in love, yet who live
their lives as BELTS men and do their
duty to the world and their maker as
well, perhaps better than they might
have done if the venture upon which
they risked all their hopes of happi-
ness had been successful.
According to gospel no man hath
the right to live solely unto himself.
Who art thou. o man." asks quaint
old writer. that thou shouldst expect
happiness? Learn instead to do the
work which God giveth thee, not be-
wailing it's hardness, and so shalt thou
find blessedness, which is better"
There be some who must toll in the
dark while. others labor in the full light
of the sun, and coal and corn are alike
essential to the welfare Of mankind.

GOSSIP FROM GOTHAM.

Just how the Nelson's are taking
the engagement of Jules Blanco Neil
son and Miss Daisy Wall is not known.
Mrs. Frederic Nelson is ambitious. To
a woman who captured a Vanderbilt
for one daughter and A. T. Kemp, also
millionaire, for another the alliance
with the Wall family is disappointing.
But Jules always disappointed his
worldly mother and sisters. He was a
tall and good-natured lad, who dis
dained cut-and- dried social affairs. He
hated Newport, and whenever he ap-
peared there he was on tenterhooks
until the day of his departure. Nelson
did not cultivate the fashionable folk
and much preferred quiet Lenox,
where Miss Wall passed last summer.
Miss Wall is not known in the fash
ionable sets at all. She is a fine look
ing girl and is popular, but the friends
of the Nelson's are amazed at Jules
choice. They had picked out for him a
great heiress.
An engagement that has caused re-
joicing in the family of the man is that

DIssEcTs AMERICAN WOMEN.
English Writer Pronounces Them of a
Dangerous Abnormal Type.

dangerous Abnormal Type,
LONDON, Nov. American won;-
an Is declared to be a dangerous abb
normal type, in an article by H. B. M.
watson, published today by the Nine
teenth Century. From the writer's
point of View American femininity is
little better than whited sepulchre
The character of the American
woman of today" he says, "is a prod
uct partly of racial modification and
partly of the social conditions of a
commercial age. We have many op-
portun1ties of studying the American
woman, for she has undertaken to an
mex as much of Europe as practicable
and has succeeded very fairly 1t is
considered by the taste of the day
quite creditable that some pork pack
ers' dollars from Chicago could buy
coronet in Mayfair. The American
woman is claimed by her admirers as
being Independent, but she is more
than that, she is anarchical The state
has been built upon certain sociological
facts as foundation. The American
woman is destroying these and with
them, therefore, the structure of the
state as it exists now. Evidences that
American woman are deliberately
turning their backs on natural laws
have accumulated in recent years.
1t would seem that while the Amer
lean man unnaturally devotes all his
days to money making, the American
woman, as unnaturally, devotes her
days to pleasure. Whereas the savage
woman acted as a beast of burden to
her lord, the American man works like
beast of burden besides his triumph
ing lady. Unless American civilization
alters it would seem to be doomed"

Next year, if we all live that long,
we may participate In the city's cele-
bration of it's fiftieth anniversary.
Something must be done to fifty OBJ
serve such great occasion, and the
committee having the matter in charge
is very anxious to receive suggestions
for a celebration. In order to facili-
tate the affair they have sent out let
tiers to some citizens asking advice
about what shall be done to fifty COM
memorate the occasion. Up to date
the committee declares it has received
but few replies.
If that isn't just exactly like St
Paul! Not only does it not seem to
have any ideas, but not even public
spirit enough to give five minutes to
thought of the affair, five minutes to
writing a letter
The very best thing that could be
done would be for the citizens to sug-
gest the building of library to COM
memorate the anniversary of the city's
beginnings. A great big public sub
Scription would probably bring in
enough at such a time to build some
kind of a library. We should be glad
to have one as large as Saltwater has,
or Mankato or Winona.
AS it is our library is upstairs over
a grocery store! And when you read
there in summer the smell of the onions
and potatoes makes long sojourn i'm
possible. This in city of nearly
100000 inhabitants, with a larger pro-
portion of we'll do people than many
other cities of it's size.
We ought to build something to COM
memorate our fiftieth anniversary;
something that will help us to live up
to the tower on the workhouse and
the Jail There's art, if you pleased
We have S1Jph f1OnU notions in this
city. The real fitness of things should
send the prisoners to the library to
smell the onions, and turn our ele-
CANT Jail into public library. There
is not the slightest danger that the Jail
will ever be unoccupied: it is even said
that prisoners sigh when released. All
the comforts of home are in the Jail.
In the library there are few books,
most courteous assistants and-a gro
Gerry smell! Oh yes, there is also the
man who talks in his sleep in the read
ing room.
Another thing st. Paul wants is an
auditorium for lack of it Sembrich
and Patti (also for lack of a little en-
terprise) are going only to Minneapo-
lis, where the citizens never sleep.
A woman's clubhouse where lectures
thing we need
Above and beyond all we need some
large doses of public spirit, some get
up-andgo to things
By another year it is doubtful wheth-
er we can get any musical attractions
here at all. Tonight Damrosch and
Blspham appear at the Peoples church;
either man would fill a house anywhere
else. Ii st. Paul does not turn out to-
night to hear those two noted must
clans st. Paul might as we'll go out of

summer it will probably consist of a

Answers to Correspondents


You should wear your hair in the
way that is most becoming. 1t is a
fad of the moment for girls to wear
their hair low on the neck when on the
street and in the day time, and some
women even wear it that way with
evening dress. But you will not be
entirely out of it, if you wear your
hair high. 1t is good style either way.
You can lose ten pounds by dieting and
by exercising; cut out breakfast, eat
a light luncheon, a light dinner, no
sweets, very little water with your
meals, and no potatoes or other starchy
foods. Walk all you can, and have
some gymnastic exercises. Let me
hear how you come on and whether you
lose flesh. 1t would be quite impossi-
BILE to tell you the name of the last
book of Cyrus Townsend Brady, as he
seems to put out new one every day.
One of his latest achievements is to
condense that old novel, "Ten Thou
sand a Year." and edit it. Write again.

instant of agonizing joy. On the 9TH
er hand, the homely candle, though it
be OF wax, serves only to attract a few
stray insects, content to buzz around 1T
at safe distance from the flame and
to light the bloodthirsty mosquito to
his prey. There are some chemicals
which will set fire to ice and there
are women whom the veriest clod in
the shape of man will adore, and il
need be, die for. And, by the irony
of fate, these few women are in most
cases apparently destitute of heart
and care not at all for the lives they
wreck and the misery which they occa-
sion. There are also women with
hearts warm enough to love all hui
manity, the sort whom nature created
for wives and mothers, who never
make any mans pulses throb beat
the faster and whose heart history is
summed up in the brief couplet:
-Four, words comprise it: 1 was never
loved,
The palm of grief, thou wilt allow. is
mine"
Moreover, when a woman has won
the love of man, however devoted
he may appear, it is usually neces-
sary for her to take some pains to hold
fast to his love if she wishes to keep
IT, IHere are EXCEPTIONS, Dut most
mems love is a fire which easily dies
for lack of fuel. Shapespeare asserts
that
Men were deceivers ever,

Indeed. it seems sometimes as
though the love of man were like a
toy rubber balloon; let go of the string
and it is off in a jiffy, while, for yet
another point of resemblance, there are
loves which must not be kept in a too
warm atmosphere lest they shrivel to
nothingness in the hands of the holder.
In this strenuous era no man of af-
fairs can afford to make love the chief,
much less the sole, business of his life.
He must hold it as a thing apart,
something for himself alone, and al
though he may covet the earth only
that he may give it to some woman,
he must forget the woman for the
time, while he struggles with other
men for the prize which he intends to
lay at her feet. And the more of

he will be to do this, turning back to
love, always, when labor is done.

Tier. MISS w Hltller Is d great DGilG,
| and is in the heart of the fashionable
set. Young Iselin is fine fellow, and
one of the best liked Of the younger
club men. He has devoted himself to
society, which proves he is true son
of Mrs. Adrian Iselin Jr. Mrs. Iselin
always has been fond of the social
game. Miss Whittier is not an heiress,
but her father, Brig. Gen. Charles A.
Whittier, has prestige, and few girls
hold better place in society than the
future Mrs. Iselin. Miss Whittier's
friends are the Mills and Burden girls.
Her sister is the Princess Belosselsky
of Russia.
The "smartest" women, married or
single, are wearing their hair low on
the neck. Some of the extremists have
it sprawled over the shoulders in the
loosest possible knot. The examples
of Miss Elsie Whelen, Mrs. E. Moore
Robinson and Mrs. Alfred Gwynne
Vanderbilt may be cited. With even
ing gowns these women are returning
to the old-fashioned WATERFALL of a
half century ago. Soon we may see
women in public with their hair
"a Hanging down their backs" Last
summer, when Miss Schenck and Miss
Roche wore their hair in plants "just
for the fun of the thing" nobody took
them seriously but in the wake of
these pigtailS has come the low Golf
fure. The hairdressers are promoting
this fashion with enthusiasm, as few
women have the art of arranging their
own low knots. Many persons think
a woman looks younger with her hair
on her neck. What more need be said ?
The low couture is strictly British,
and the Countess of Mimic, when she
visited Newport last summer, had an
astonishing way of dressing her hair.
All the London women of fashion are
wearing their hair low. Some have it
parted also. This is called the Lady
CurZon style. The wife of the viceroy
never has changed her simple manner
of dressing the hair. Miss Muriel
Wilson, the London beauty, has her
front hair frizzled and curled and the
back hair low on the neck. But if a
woman's face shows the ravages of
age this low coiffure is dangerous.
She is likely to look silly. The woman
with long face and prominent nose
must avoid this new style, and when
the hair has traces Of silver the low
knot will not look we'll.
At the Columbia football game on
last Saturday a girl in the grand stand
attracted attention by her beauty. She
was Philadelphia girl. and her brown
hair, black eyes and high color formed
a fine combination. She was dressed
in original and excellent taste. Her
frock was a brown CLOTH and the skirt
was accordion plated. The jacket had
bolero effect and rich red velvet
girdle added a bright touch to the cos
tune. This shade of red was shown
at the throat and on her dainty toque.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, April 3.--Therc was an
other heavy selling movement in the stock
market this morning which apparently
over-reached the market judging from
the scramble by the shorts to cover
during the last hour when the supply
of stocks had become scarce This led to
a lively rally and a general recovery of
prices TO above last nights level
The closing was easy and below
the top level on the rally. The appre-
cable relaxation of the tension in the
money market and the confidence that
the factors at work would bring still
further relief next week were the domi-
nant influences in the rally The morn
ing selling was primarily due to the bad
influence of a violent break in Southern
Pacific to 55 Ia, which aroused fears for
the position of the pool. The apparently
endless stream of liquidation in Penn
sylvania was also turned in the market,
carrying the price to a new low
level on the movement at 1876 The Fri
day requirements in the money market
kept up the call money rate early in the
day and there were appearances to war
rant the assumption that the banks were
assuming an admonitory attitude towards
the speculative pools in a way which
might account for some of the selling.
The extreme tension reached in the
personal antipathics growing out
of the Southern Pacific quarrel gives
color to the supposition that the weap-
ons employed extend to the influencing
of the supply of financial resources en-
ployed by the pool in the stock market
