BUSINESS, NOT CURIOSITY
New Workers who Watched the
GOuId-DrexeI Guests Wanted
Fashion Hints.

Before the rest of the country makes
the usual comments on the behavior of
the women who crowded the sidewalks
and street near st. Bartholomew's church
and defed rain and the police in an ap-
parently frantic desire to see something Of
the big Gould-Drexel wedding, which took
place there, 1t would be we'll to take good
many things into consideration, and especi-
ally to get little exact information as to
who these women were and what they
wanted.
1t will be assumed, of course, by hinter-
land critics, that such a display of bad
taste, impudence and vulgarity could take
place only in this city, and that it was
characteristic If not Of New York women
at least of large and rather typical or
Representatives fraction Of them. AS a mat
ter of fact, neither assumption is certainly
or even probably true. Like manifestations
have again and again been reported from
London, Paris and other European capt
tails, and even in our own smaller cities
any well-advertised wedding excites the in
terest and attracts the intrusive attention
OF more people than are invited to be pres
ent at it's celebration.
The chances are, moreover, that only a
HllHOlllN VI lHS NOHleu VINO Nlude the
mad rushes around every carriage that
drove up were there for the qualification
of morbid curiosity excited by the widely
| heralded wealth of the bride and bride
groom. That brought a few, no doubt, but
those who are wise in such affairs insist
| that most of the rioters came in order
to gain knowledge of every practical utility
in their business-knowledge that would en-.
able them to make for their ambitious
customers gowns more or less like those
worn by the wives and daughters of big
fortunes. In other words, it was the desire
for money rather than the worship OF Il
that moved the greater part OF the out
door assemblage and they took advantage
OF an unusual opportunity only with tn,
earnestness and disregard for appearances
that are characteristic Of commercialisu
in all it phases.
This is, to be sure, an explanation O.
what happened rather than an excuse TO
II, but 1t does in a way and to a degre,
free New York as a whole and the womei
of New York in particular from most O
the accusations that will lie brough
against them, After all charity has beer
exercised. however the scenes around tn
church will remain an unseemly and hu
milating page in local history. People VIII
so where they are not wanted, and wher
they have only a vague and general righ
to be, cannot complain II they get roundl

Young viscount of Maidstone, who mar
ries Miss Margaretta DreXel I'm London on
June 8 will I'm the course of time inherit
one Of the most picturesque old baronial
homes In England and with the aid OF the
Drexel millions he will restore 1t TO its
ancient spIendor. Kirby Hall, the name
of the ancient pile, was at the beginning
of the last century and for a long time
afterward one OF the most perfect speci-
mems Of the Eizabethan style Of building.
1t lies on the slope of shallow valley
on the outskirts OF the ancient forest OF
Rockingham. Some eighty years ago or
so the earl of Cinchilset of the day, COM
ing to the end Of his tether, stripped the
lead, I'm which there was much silver, from
the roof Of Kirby Hall and sold It to
contractor. The story goes that the con-
tractor went bankrupt and that Lord Gin
chilset never got his money. Kirby Han
for many years stood roofess to the sky
and was a sort of stone quarry for new
farm houses and cottages in tho neighbor-
hood. Then It was partly rooted in and an
attempt made TO check decay. A shepherd
and his family lived IN the old drawing
room. The rest OF the mansion Is at
present uninhabitable.

BEAUTY SECRET GIVEN AWAY

AS the nature Of the meeting had been
advertised for the last week, the lecture
room in the public library building was
crowded long before DR.. Zeisler appeared,
bearing his secret with him. The majority
OF the audience was made up Of women.
But the men were no less eager for the
how to" information.
When DIR. Zeisler advanced to the speak
er's platform there was an anxious smut
fling forward Of chairs, and the audience
leaned forward with a spontaneous move
ment Or. Zeisler prolonged the suspense

by casually seating himself in comfort
able chair, carefully arranging the electric
light and giving two minutes to deep
thought before speaking.
There was no interruption to his lecture
from start to finish. Rereft of its technical
rhIaseoIogy and boiled to fit a ready
listeners impatience, the advice of Dr.
Zeisler was as follows:
BE healthy Sleep well, eat good
breakfast, have proper ventilation in your
office, lunch carefully, exercise a bit, dine
judiciously and again sleep we'll Repeat

Which simple prescription will cure dan

ENGLISH AND AMERICAN GIRLS
Marked Contrasts in Education,
Training, Sentiment and
Environment.

There cannot be AZ greater contrast than
that between a young girl in England and
q young girl in America. The former Is
afraid of herself, afraid Of her men. and
of life. She turns to the past for guidance
while watching the future with timd hope,
her mind being gentle unless her conserva-
tism is attacked. She is at once more
practical, within the narrow limits in
which she lives. and more affectionate
She is not at all idealistic, but she Is ex-
tremeiy sentimental 1t is a curious mix
ture, for with all her submissveness and
sentlmentality she is harder than the
American girl. The latter is afraid neither
of herself, of her men, nor of life; and in
conversation, IL you talk in good faith,
you will find that she is not afraid of her
subject. She Is apt for every kind of
idealism, and is not at all sentimental.
She is not so affectionate as an English
girl but she is much quicker to admire
and appreciate. The English girl Is a little
prone to discomfort. Indeed. it may be
said that in her life she goes from dscon-
tent to discomfort while preserving an
affectonate attachment for her home and
relations. The American girl is a song
bird that will not be Gagged. She keeps
her destiny in her own hands and goes
from victory to victory, or at least from
contest to- contest; and, be 1t noted, never
along the path of self-ndulgence She
has n Spartan mind, a soldiers mind and
| will consent to nothing that is not uplift-
ing. She is the finer type, the other is
