SARATOGA, August 20 1875


This is certainly the women's paradise Women,
women everywhere Turn which way you please, and
you will meet gauIy female appartions in pnk and
white and blue ungauzy, but rather aeavy in
black But women you Will everywhere in shoals
They are all wonderfully happy Take the average
American woman-p particularly thewoman OF fashion,
and she will be as contented here as she would be
where else what is 1t that captvates the fair
so In the first place, think 1t Is the delicious in
doence Of the place At seaside resort they must
plunge the waves; In the mountains they must
climb; here tney sit all day the piazza, show
their clothes, and do what sorry confess
the American of fashion loves do better than
anything else-aothing. And she do it in more
lively manner, and surrounded by bigger crowd Of
people, than she could anywhere else In New York
many walk tho streets TO the women They
ought TO to Saratoga II it is pleasure To be
surrounded by them this certainly heaven itself


SCARCITY or MgS.


The fact Is that though there is abundance OF women,
there is rather ascarcy OF men, hrofthose whoar
have brought here by their wives, mothers
usters II duty this SUMNER" said young
me, with q sigh, who here TO chaperon his
nsters snG as his brothers had each served summer
IN the capacity 1t was now his turn The indo-
cnce Of Saratoga life such that people too Lazy
dance even and often dozen couples
will dance ~ the nightly ball


A AGAINST COSMETICS


II is very ungallant statement but truth compels
make It, there is lamentable absence Of pretty
here Beauty is very anywhere but
although Saratoga has many dressy" it has few pretty
women The principal is, think thai they want
10 be very pretty and hence that many do every
hing they can to spoil their natural good
ofY
paint This habit has reached which makes it
public question: and deserves the attention of
leading journals like the HERALD Midde-agcd women
and those who pGssee addicted the same
folly all the world over, but here the young grls-who
ought to be innocent, blooming buds OF womanhood-
ruin their compilations, their eyebrows and their lips
by these abominable articles. There is many girl
here who would look fresh, pretty and vholesome-and
Ihese qualities constitute e.fourths of beauty-if
she only would leave alone and she goes work
by every possible destroy it and to eeen
completely change her figure abortve specimen OF
womanhood, appalling to look at II this crying
look for its sweet domestic natural for mothers
70 be revered, for wives TO be lovedS


UEwAoLEsoME MODE LIVING


mother reason say 1t boldly, why the women here
deficient in beauty that they lack blood They
eat too much ice cream and they drink too little lager
Lager can tho shudder passing that delicate
frame and that pale thin face she hears that 'vul-
gar word Yes, repeat H. lager, lager, ale caret
would do much good than all these gullons OF
iced water that I'LL the stomach and induce dyspepsia
h these little cakes and the pastries and the three
dishes OF ice cream per day My lovely queen you NAV
think rude for saying these things but say them
because want TO make you look beautiful, and you do
want To look SO, don't you Because infuse
roses into your cheeks and impart plumpness and
ample flowing outlines 70 your present much too
ethereal hgure. Walk Don't be always sitting on the
Congress Hall piazza and talking sweet nothings and
reading fashionable trash, but so out take lopg walk
will give color to your cheeks and strengthen those
delicate legs; It will do you good and you will have no
need OF cosmetics. Try It!


LAGER


The hotel propretors OF Saratoga capital set OF
public spirited, enterprsins gentlemen, and yet they
somewhat TO blame for this sad condition Of things
lhere is mine genial host, for instance, Mr. Fathorn
who provides everything under the for his guests
except fresh lager And yet II has only be
known that lager and not champagne is the accepted
drink at the Emperor Williams and at rcceu
lions TO become Immediately fashionable here king
dom for "Zwe lager"


A PRETTY smaHE TO BE INITIATED


As am IN = fault finding, carping mood may as
well say that there are no babies here The married
women-even those who spend the entire season here
DO not bring their babies along and hence scarcely
EVER hear their musical cries Well they would probably
disturb their mothers when they listening TO the
galantres OF their young admirers reading fashion
able novels in the drawing room The other
morning ! saw the PROTEST scene that have
thus far enjoyed in Saratoga young woman,
she looked scarcely nineteen twenty came
the Congress Hall piazza, and rushing forward
ward nurse VINO was dancing baby boy cried, with
indescribable rapture, There's my boyl" And she
Took the baby laid her lap where she could kiss
without leaning TOO much over and kept huggng and
kissing for about half hour Till she 50 tired
Du that she had to send him to her young brothers
and sisters, who then danced regular dance round
the dear little boy.


PRIVATE sPARRISG.


There was q private sparrng exhibition in Of the
Bathrooms the other morning Billy Edwards and Ar
thur Chambers in regular sparring costume, fought
three rounds in the presence of several hundred ladies'
