WHAT GIRLS WOULD B0 WITH MONEY Mow Actresses Are Guyed Upon the Stage ~Woman Versus Lady—Fable of an eal Pair—iits of Gossip and Fashion Hints, Garden party costumesand outing ont- fits at the present moment elaim the at- tention of vanity fair, while the choux, Dtherwlso known as the rosette, leads the fashion for the nonce. The belt which finishes the fashionable round bodice is brought together under a chonx. Thé lace bertha is caught up with it. Bleave trimmings are finished with i _and festoons are held in place by it. Nor is this all. It has broken out as a ski gacniture for evening gowns, It is vari- ously applied and is in a great variety of sizes, The smaller ones are, however, newer and more fashionable than those of larger dimensions. These small roscttes that are used for timming a no larger than a silver dollar, Bspecially fitting and effective are theso little * whirls of velvet, satin or silk when used to fasten the festoon of a laco flounce. They are by no means confined to gowns but are used on all sorts of millinery. They are particularly the vogue for fast- ening up the brims of the little hats that are given a three cornered effect by the up-banding of the brim in this eccentric fashion. They also form the note of color on the I)fwck bonnets that are worn with the black costumes that are just now 80 much the mode. When they are ueed as the sole trimming of a dress gkirt they are arranged at the top of the hem, either singly or in clusters, or in some design at iu:vrvnl.-« on the skirt. "y Says Polly Pry in the New York Re- corder: T asked an actress whom I know whether there was as much *guying” upon the stage as people supposed. “Why, my dear Polly,” she replied with fervor, “if I undertook to tell you how much there is you simply wouldn't believe me. “It is awful. The only performances that are free from it are the first few nights, when the actors and actresses are too nervous and too busy ‘fishing for their lines’ to take any liberties “But I dread it when the play settles down for a run. “For then the actors—it is seldom the actresses—start in. “If T have a solemn or intense scene, where I have to face the footlights, and the leading man or juvenile man faces me with his back to "the audience, it is his delight, six times out of ten, to look ved, to twist his mouth like a minstrel, to make irrelevant remarks that only T ean hear, and to try in overy way to ‘break me up.’ “And why he does it? Heaven only knows. Itsimply spoils the scene, an we hoth stand the chance of being fined.” 1 was astounded to hear this and said so. “Yes,” she continued, “‘and T you'd print what I say, too. YT try to be conscientious, and such things affect me. “Why, I recall one night in New- Or- leans, when I was leading woman with a well known traveling company, that I almost fainted, “There was a scene in which my lover was supposed to press 4 ring into my hand, and I was to hold it tightly clasped until just before the curtain, when [ produced it and it proved a mur- der or something of that sor “Well, on this particular night, when the actor laid the ring in my hand and closed my-fingers on it, he gave me with it a large, live beetle! “Just imagine my state of mind, to feel that thing crawling avound in my fist. “How T got through with my im- portant scene [ don't know, but I did it, and then had hysteries when the cur- tain dropped.” wish e An interesting discussion is going on in the columns of some newspapers over the use of the words “lady” and “woman,” says the Chicago Herald. There is no real difference to the pecasions upon which each word'is to be _used, but the Boston Journal notes a frank acknowledgment upon the part of some that they do not use the word “woman” where their good sense tells them that thoy should for fear that it might give offense to the person to whom it was divected *as not sufliciently po- lite.” There are certainly no words so abused as. ‘“‘woman,” ‘“lady” and “female.” Among certain people the use of the sccond of these terms is like the wearing of fine clothes or jewelry. Originally belonging to a su- erior class, they insist onappropriating t to themselves as proof that they are the equals of any other social body. Now, while all that may be true enough, and while class distinctions have no place in this country, this use of the word has led to some strange and amusing confusions, The humorous who depicted the servant s addressing her mistress, “Mam, the laundry lady is a-wanting to speak w the woman of the house,” did not have to depend upon his im- agination for his facts, As absurd things as that may be heard in any one of the large dvy goods stores in townany day and almost any newspaper will yielil a rich specimen or two. Bishop Warren, referring to this same point, says that he glanced at the wall ‘opposite him at the moment and saw a diploma from the 8, Female acudemy,” and then turned to a bookcase and read as the title of one of the volumes there, “Ie- male Holiness.” In the report of a southern Woman's Christian Temper- ance union convention appears the fact that “‘Mrs. Blank was chairlady,” Now the proper word in all this is “woman.” That is always and ever right. Than it there is no nobler or strol word in the English language, “Man” is a genoral word as well as a particular one, and as such includes both sexes, 50 that the term “‘chairman’ signities no subservience of one sex to the domination of the other. If called upon to address a stranger, a woman, then the proper word is “madam"” and not “lady, this way” and ‘“lady, that wuf‘" as 0 many ushers appear to think to be the unly solution to the problem of address, “Female” is never to be used s a synonym of “woman.” Itisa tern common to one-half of the animal crea- tion, and to apply it to & woman as the substantive of designi tioa is an insult. #Lady" is applicable ) wvery well bred and educated woman, but ?l is some- thing that is reserved rather for so2iul usage, and has not the sturdy strength and nobility of “woman,” . Py Here is a story of love and courtship, told by Walter Besant in the London Queen. There was a young lover who was & compound—very rare—of high rank and great .bllit{u, with sweet- ness, 1“\.1 modesty and shyness. Most noble lords know their own value, and behave aecordingly. This noble lord, hqwoyorhwu wodest. He thought him- very far—below the worth oung lady whom he loved that was afraid to speak. Some women do not understand this modesty. Believe me, ladies, 'tis a sure and certain sign of & noble eharacter, because only a lofty soul can conceive tho existence of ¢ goddess; we measure others, you see, by ourselves, It is also a sure slgn of love. because such a man can only love a_ woman whom he ly respects. courage this mod- my above all, do not laugh at it. young man, there- fore, was afraid to speak, and the delay, ch is at first, I am told, pleasing and i an to grow monotonous.

Here are a couple of stories of the ways of English servant girls that put the achievements of the American maid quite into the shude: A lady who was supposed to ba in the country appeared unexpectedly at her town house one afternoon. There were sounds of r withinand she hurried to the drav ot to find her cook ar- rayed in her white satin wedding dress, dancing to the admiration of a choice as- sembly of butlers and maids. Up near Oxford, during the absence of her professional employer and his wife, the cook turned several dishonest pen- nies by ing afternoon tea on the grounds. As ghe used the family brand of tea, the old Dresden china and the crested silver, her venture was a great succesa until a friend of the family hap- pened by. Fashion Notes.

DESIRE OF SOME - TO ATTRACT MEN “IBab” Cites Varions Practices In Bringing Up Children—Practical Examples of Table Etiquette, Dress and the Kuowledge of Money. W Yonk, June 12.—[Correspondence of Tite Bee. ]It has happenad to me lately to have been among quite a number of women And I have thought of the great value of the pleasant woman, She is tho one who 18 never i a row. $he does not walk around with a chip on her shoulder, inviting who- over may come near her to knock it oft; but no matter what sie may think, she has a smile and a pleasant greeting for every one. And it isn't because she is a fool, though I have heard her called that; it is because she thinks it much casier to ride through life on v street than to have to awkwardly trot through Crooked lane. She is usually the recipient of the woes of all other women; but her knowledge of life has taught her that while she sympathizes with all to take take sides with none. Tne young woman who delights in sayving that she has a tem- per of her own, shows a certain scorn for her; and that other young woman who is continually looking for enemies and not friends, considers her an idiot; but after they have boti expressed these opinions, they end up by saying, “But sho is always very pleasant.” Men like her, for men are wise enough to like the comfortabie side of life, and she is s0 cownfortable. She doesn’t carry stories and she is always willing to do the nicedittle thing. When I die I would rather have it on my tombstone, ‘“She Was a Pleasant Woman” than “She Wasa Genius.” Not that [ think there is the slightest danger of the last being put there. Women Who Try to Attract Men. Seeing women, there is another type that 1 have been interested in; that is the man- woman. Idon't mean the tailor-made girl. Tmean the woman whose sole object in life is to dress so as to attract the men; is to de- vote herself to them and to get as many around her ns posiible, She has o vague idea that the bees seek the hone, But don't you know there are alway three bees wno are going to find the sweetest of all the honey and they know that isu't what the mob runs after. She dresses to please men and she poses to please men, and she confounds the flying visit of the bee and his silly buzzing with what would be abso- lute devotion. She would loso her best friend for the sake of getting the attention of u man, and the consequence is that wo- men don’t like her; and in time, curiously enough, men don't. For men are invariably ruled by women. And when each individual man hears of the mean things that she has done to some woman who is close to him, he less knowing bees fly after that honey L any may have for the asking. | Nobody wants honey that is public prop- erty. The only honey worth having is that which it requi n effort to get, and which belongs exclusively to one—thatis, if ono is a gentlemun bee. Another type of woman that onc sces at fairs is that peculiar and diplomatic one does no work and takes all the glory. appears on tho scene with a great deal of le, sets all her assistants to work, then off to hav gossip with s and when the work 18 all fin e igain, compliments the real workes and takes a good attitude in which to ceive the approbution of the general public. Being o bit lazy mysclt, I must confess 1 rather adm her diplomacy; but, then, T don’t Jike her seltishness. How to Briag Up Chlldren. Women and children seem naturally to go together, and just here I wanu to say that 1 have been reading a book that had a lot of stuff in it about the way children take the downward path and who shows it to them. Judging from the precocious specimens here in New York, 1 think o great many of them do not need any leading. but. of course, fathers and mothers are to blame for this. Sooncr thun see a child of mine chi around, selling chances at a big fair, being brazen and impudent, 1would weh—I thinic 1 would prefer to chloroform her. Fond mammas are having their offspring taught to do the skirt_dances, and to exccute high for the benefit of their friends, and the result is about as bad-behaved a lot of young ones as you could wish to seeany place. One secs girls of 10 years climbing upon men’s laps, volunteering to kiss them ing their dance, starting in my mind re to do a dance on thom with o paddle. Idon’t think Ishould approve of a spanking machino, but a good old fashioned spanking is a_medicine that is quite as de- sirable for children as castor oil. - Both tend to cool the blood and malke life seem more practical. Funnily all this dance nonsense seems to be limited to the girls. Now, this is very bad. Tlike an intelligent child: I like a child who is interested in the world and what is going on, but I hate with a fifteenth century, Borgia hatred what is known as the smart child, Ican fully sympateize with the old gentleman who said he didn’t call it smartness—he called it d——d impudence. Of course, everybody's own littie geoso are swans, but stillI do wish mothers would think just a little bit about what this bring- ing forward of ayoung girlchild means. Our women are intelligent enough and yet they prauk up o baby of 10 in_a silk frock and a dinmond ring, and have it make an ex- hibition of itself, and then ery when it is 17 because it is 80 free in its mauner.

A little girl who is very close to my heart nas her dinner at 1 o'clock with the family, vhen they take luncheon. Some time ago it s decided that as she was 6 years old it was_time she learned, when ‘the butler handed her a dish, to help herself. She was warned beforehand that, while she could always have a second helping, she must not put too much on her plate, and that if she did, and left it, she would have to eat it at her half-past 5 o'clock tea. Of course many tears were shed; being very fond of chicken wings, she would put three on her plate and then only be able to eat one and & half. Not a word was spoken, but the butler, after removing her plate, calmly lifted off it to another the uneaten chicked, the vegetables or what- ever she had taken, and instead of being able to have the delightful marmalade or the sweet preserves with her tea she sat up in her nursery and had the remains of her dinner with I heard a woman call this eruel; that woman was & fool.
