A DESPERATE REMEDY.

TT is hard work to get a girl started
to singing. but after she begins
something desperate must be done
to induce her to stop.
There was company at the nome of
I.ysander John Appleton.
The company requested Daysey May
me to sing. She didn't know anything
new. she said.
Sing the old" said the company.
She had a cold Then they urged her
to sing anyway, assuring her they were
not critical, and would never notice her
slight hoarseness.
She would like to accommodate them.
she said, but really she couldn't sing a
note tonight. She was not in the mood.
The company knew what was expect
ed of company in good society and per-
sisted. And Daysey Wayne. in her shy,
billboard fashion continued to refuse.
The company, feeling at the end of
an hour that even Chesterfield would
urge no more, became a little less in
sistent
Daysey Mayme saw the sign of wan
ing interest and met it by going to the
piano.
First, she sang something in some
foreign language. The company said
French. Italian and colored nanny,
and failed to come to a unanimous de-
cision
In the next song she gargled with
her notes in a way that made the COM
pany look for the bottle and the spoon.
Then she sang Home, Sweet Home, -
and the company wept in observance Of
the time honored custom that every
one should keep when hearing this
song-those who haven't homes because
they haven't them. and those who have
homes because their homes don't suit
them.
Then she sang a lullaby which
wouldn't put any but deaf baby to
sleep. Then the company lost count
The company sighed, the company

hEOPLE talk so much about the high
cost of living, about immodest and
impossible fashions, that we women
frequently forget that we are living now in
the very best time that ever was, and are
enjoying more freedom than our sex has
ever been allowed to indulge in before
The days Of chivalry, with their tourna-
ments of love, their courts Of honor and
their queens of beauty, had a very seamy
side, and women in most ways were little
better than slaves.
Before the French revolution the aristo.
cratic woman of wealth may have
queened it over her surroundings, but vast
numbers OF her poor sisters toiled in I'M
speakabe misery and degradation.
1t was only after the beginning of the
nineteenth century and we'll along toward
the middle of it that women were permit
ted to have some sort of an eudcation and
it is only of late-that is, in the last twenty
years-that some of the idiotic barriers of
fashion which have impeded the progress
of the sex have at last been ridiculed into
the limbo of bygone horrors,
Look at the beauty i'll the picture Your
mother dressed this way. for this pretty
girl is arrayed in the popular fashion of
the late seventies.
She trailed dress which contained from
twenty to torty-two yards of material
through the dust. for the unhygienic train
was necessary to her status and no grown
up lady went without one.
