PRESS REPORTER. . L] . “A Woman" and “a Lady.” By Ella Wheeler Wilcox. What is the distinction, asks a correspondent, between ‘‘a woman' and “a lady?” “It seems that every | lady is a woman, but not every wom- | an a lady.” Webster tells us that the term “la- dy" is derived from two words, meaning bread, and helper. His def- initions are therefore: 1. “Bread helper.” “A mistress of the house.” 2. “A woman of social distinction. I England a woman whose husband is not lower than a knight in rank, or whose fatber was not lower than an Earl.” 3. “A woman of gentle and refined manners. 4. “A wife or spouse.” In America, the land of freedom and “equality,” the word “lady” is much misused. Applicant Asked, “Are You the Wom- an aa Advertised for Washlady?” We all know the true story of the mistress of the house who was met by the inquiry, “Are you the woman as advertised for a washlady?” “Wash lady” and sales lady” are terms now in general use by the un- instructed. The impression seems to prevail among the ignorant and ambitious that showy garments and a disdain nw z Pay U To ¢ Us MmN \young daughter was not fond of aer Lumber Co.

It has its special application the same as duchess, or countess. Lady Blank may be ignorant and ugly and untidy and impossible as & woman—jyet she is Lady Blank by legal right, if her father's or hus- band's rank so makes it possible. ! A Lady Is a Woman of Gentle and Refined Manners, i In America we have no titles; and the cultured and intelligent mind understands that the word “lady | here is only applicable to one to whom Webstar has given the third definition: i “A WOMAN OF GENTLE AND REFINED MANNERS.” | She may be a laundress, a house- maid, a salesgirl or an object of charity—but if she is possessed of gentle manners and a refined deport- ment it is absolutely proper to speax of her as “a perfect lady!" | It she is loud-voiced, vulgar in speech or in dress, obtrusively ignor- ant, or rude, she is NOT a lady, no matter if she is born and reared in wealth, and if she sparkles with jew- ' els. . i She is a woman who has misused | her opportunities of becoming a lady. A woman whose wealth has made | bér name a familiar one in two con- | tinents recently entered a fashion- able shop in New York in an unmis- ! 'ukable state of intoxication and dis- ! gusted the proprietor and salesmen |by her rude and boisterous manners. She is not—in America—a lady. she would of necessity be ome fn England, if her father had been an iearl, or her husband a knight. It savors of the ridiculous to ap- {tile counters. “Chorus ladies,” | “wash ladies,” and *“shop ladies” ishould understand that the word is offensive and absurd when thrust upon the listener. It is not necessary for the “lady” to label herself. She is easily dis- covered. And if she is not there the flimsy label only makes her ridicu- lous. “Saleswoman” Mcans a Worthy | Worker; *“Saleslady” Means Nothing. The word WOMAN with a pre- (fix is much stronzer than tae same {prefix with “lady attached. | | A splendid woman, 2 noble wom- |an, a lovely woman, has tenfold the | {strength of a “splendid lady, a noble | ledy, or a lovely lady.” The term| “a fine woman” is full of dignified | meaning, while a “fine lady” sug- gests the gaudy butterfly. A “sales woman' means one of the world's worthy workers, while a “galeslady” means nothing at all. NOTICE.
