THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: \%M\N S THANKSGIVING DAY Heaven's Oharity to the Rich Should Prompt Real Thanks Exprersed in Deeds. SUGGESTIONS HOW TO REACH THE POOR Heiressos Nibbling at the Title Trap— Do tiralns in Woman Dostroy Her YTovellness?—1tesant’s Idens of Woman's Place in Life. The koeping of Thanksgiving has always been in the hands of the women of this country ever sinco the days when Mr. Lineoln resurrected the cusiom and issucd the proclamation setting a day for the gencral offering of thanks as a nation. Of course, men have done most of the preaching and all of the proclaim- ing, but the real service, the praying and the cooking, have been done by the women. Inthe dark when cook- ing schools were not and when a was taught the art of cooking, if not the geience, in her mother's kitchen, and was proud and happy if she could make things “as good as mother's,” women took great pride in the nee of Thanksgiving day. Socks were knit and warm clothing with a s dainties gent to the soldier boy, who could not got home to eat the good things pre- pared there, and thanks were sent up that there was still a boy to send things to and to pray for. If the boy had been slain in battle, though the homo was dark and sad, the mother was thankful that her darling died so brave a death, and for his country, tool Then she worked d ed for some . other weman's son, and still found cause for thankegiving. ' ages observ It you arc rich and fashionable you will, of course, go to church next Thu day and drop a crisv greenback or a generous check on the plato to help swell the sum collected on that day for the poor, then go home feeling if not thankful, at lecast satistied, that you have done what you could. Even being rich has its advan s and opportuni- ties You will have tur and ac- companiments and eat dinn, with a sense of enjoyment because you have helped some good woman of your ae quaintance get una livtle feast for her childre iy, Perhaps you may Yave ¢ e ~al turkeys to those you know o ‘ord such luxuries these har . res, .nd as charity is so fashion- abic peit ps you have scen to the di tribution of the dainties with your own hands and fecl sure that in your ‘‘dis- trict” theve is no one who will go to bed hungry. [f you are permitted to do any or all of theso things, surely you will be able to “‘thank God for the older fashion™ of Christian charity. %% 1f you ave poor or in the great middle class as regards money and have but little to spare, you will give the boy next door, whose mother isill, a big late of doughnuts and tell him iv is ecause it is Thanksgiving. He will know it is a holiday and will enjoy the good things to eat, and if your family is small and your dinner pretty good you may even invite in several children to eat with you, and if they ave of the class who only get *‘plenty to cat” once in a while you will bo justas happy as if you had $1,000 at your disposal. The poorer people are the most generous after all. They divide with their friends and often give what they may need thomselves, But tho spirit of veal charity is there and the gifts ave accopted with the feeling that *'some day I'll be able to do 1he same for you, or for some other friend who 1y in the same needy condition as I am today.” Thus all over the city the day will be kept after a fashion, and though there may be less praying of long, loud prayers than the custom thirty years ago, the ser of goed deeds not be less, and it is alter all the deeds that count. Thanksgiving day is simply one more opportunity to do whatever kindness is nearcst at hand, and no woman in Omaha will let it paes because she is not able to do some great thing. It is not a day of great thing Iv is a day for the doing of liitle things with a great love. »*x One of the friendliest and most dis- criminating of foreign critics remarks that “Amevicans have too many ac- quaintances and too few friends.” It takes years together atcollege, n summer vacation or a sea voyage to put eople on a real corvdial, confidential ooting, writes Ruth Trevelyan in the Brooklyn Times. Yet we are undoubtedly a social race. Men and women in this country enjoy each other's company quite as well as in any part of the civilized world. Society flourishes, why is the intermingling of kindred souls so rare? Social positions here have no fixed basis as in older countries. Families are constautly in an unsettled state. To work themselves up in the world absorbs most of their energy. How can people make friends when “uncertain whether they themselves belong to the frogs or the tadpoles? Plays and novels—old or new ones— whicli depicts the family who has riscn in wealth and sccial position turning the cold shoulder to former friends, are misleading; they tell only one side of the story. Does nn{v one who reads this paper re- member Washington Place? [t was a block of comfortable three-story and basement briek houses on Broadway, running between where the two large savings banks now stand, Hore years ago lived a family of jolly, lively, Focd- natured people. Father, mother, sons and dunghters being equally friendly and Lespitable, their house was the re- sort of all the young people in the neigh- borhocd. Suddenly, by a lucky stroke on Wall street, the father acquired u fortune, an enormous ono for those days. They bought a handsome vesiderco on Clin- ton avenue, with far-famed billiard room and conservatories, kept well-appointed carriages and horses, and began living in style. The family were as friendly and as hospitable as ever, but their old friends, awed by the unaccustomed splendor, gradually deserted them. They no longer dropped in in an uncon- ventional way, but waited for a formal invitation. Perhaps they felt that their clothes were not fine " enough. The family fairly longed for company, for, besides exchanging a few perfunctory calls, they had no intercourso with their immediate neighbors. Never have 1 seen a lcnelier set of people. They stood tho isolation about eighteen months, then packed up disconsolately and went to Europe for a grand tour. & A difference of tastes between husband and wife, though no sign cf domestic discomfory, is latal to outside friend- d:‘eu i heard a young lady declare that she demanded three essentials in a busband; the wan she married must be h tist, 8 democrat and & homeopath- 'hat she is now the wife of an allopathic physician, a republican and women of my acquaintance, is no reason that she and her husband wounld choose the same type of friends. Few women regard with favor the business or political acquaintances their husbands bring home to dinner. People thoronghly happy in their marringe relations do not need friends as much a8 those less pleasantiy sitnated. Perbaps that is the reason s0 many American families are content with a large eircle of mere acquaint- ances. e Two more American girlsare to marry titles and, what is more deplorable, the men who bear them. Miss Florence Pullman, the eldestdanghter of the rail- rond magnate, will marey Prince von Isenberg-Blerstein, and ~ Miss Adele Grant will be the wife of the ea I Neither of these lordly suitors has very mich money, both have more debis than dollars, and Miss Grant is not a great heiress, which gives a refreshing tinge of oviginality to her engagement, says the New York Advertiser.

Fhis fact Sir J. Crichton Browne de- < to prove that the possession of in women means a corre sponding ugliness. *‘I fear,” he says, “that what woman gains intellectually by the higher education now in vogue, she will lose in beauty and grace, and often in healtl, too. It looks to me like straining the faculties against nature. Woman's personal charms ave her greatest power; we must not have these destroyed; and she greatly excels man in perception, intuition and the moral faculty.” But intuition is not inteliigence, and man himself has taught us that it is a less reliable rule of con- duct than trained and logical intelii- gence. However “perceptive” a woman may be, perception is practically useless whon entering the lists against maseu- line knowledge, and as for the mo faculty, it is only allowed in the dir tion of her own conduct. When its keen light is turned other sex the moral f; into *'a moral super: been known to evolve prudery.” About the ugliness of the Gara women there can be but one opinion, but it is doub:ful whether any great intellectu- ality has been discovered among them.

Still, though not ohviously visible, there is enough powder remaining to make sallow, yellow, biliovs or brownish skin look white and fresh, The slightest neeivable touch of red to the cheeks, a little blue over the course, followed by one or two suggeslive veins, and 4 moro liberal allowance of black, sometimes #implo lampblacl, to the eyebrows and eyelids ¢omplete the picture. But, above all, this wust be done so slightly, so lightly, and with such a delicacy of touch 'and _poereeption, that it must not rag if the skin had in any way been painted or improved avtifieially. * ¥ It inay be suggesied here that a lit- ¢ wan would ve a proper mate for a literary woman; but though like often attracts like, we must also admit it just as often attracts uolike, and then we have a theory that explaing nothing be- cause it explains everything, writes Mprs.

VARIED FEATURES OF THE WEST RIDING One Part of Yorkahire Whore the Dirt and Smoke of Busy, Grilny Cities Border on Richest Wosdland Sceaery and Parest Moantsin Ale It has been sald that the West Riding of Yorkshire contaius samples of al vavieties of English scen In the north are tne wildest moor: heather covered hilis stronked with sparkling rivulets and dotted with lonesome and anciont farm buildings, where wieat cannot grow and tho more rdy outs 18 only cultivated in sheltered corners; and in the south are the smoky and busy manufacturing centors of Leeds and Mold, Bradford and Hahfax, Hudders- field aud Keighley. It includes at once the most spursely settled and well nigh the most thickly popilated districts in England. Yovkshire covers a larger area than any of tho other thirty-nine counties in the coun- try, and from this fact is known asthe County of Broad Acres. In population it ranks littlo behind Lancashire and but slightly nigher than Middlesex, the three, cach with over 2.500,000 of people, standing far ahead of any of the othor shires. By reason of its unwieldly siza it is divided into threo ridings —derived from the Saxon word for a third part—and each of theso ridings, the North, the East and the West, for all purposes of local government atany rate, ranks as a county in itself. OFf these the West mding 1s considerably the largest and 1t also contains double the number of people both tho others togother, The viding contains some excecdingly ing. land anda few places ot his terest, Including the famous minst hedral ab Yori, The Bast riding consists of low hills covering dis kuown as the Wolds, but also includes the important seaport of Hull. ‘Where Mills and Mines Abound, In the West riding the center of woolen and worsted industries of the coun- , the important steel and cutlery manu- fucturing of Shefeld, not to mention im- portant ind s 10 potteries, bootund shoo making, sil ushies, glassware, iron, silver plate and machinery of all kinds. Tt includes also one of the most 1mportant coul mining districts in the country with Barnsley as its cent while at the other end of the rid- ing is somo of the most picturesque, together with some of the wiidest, inland scenery tha islaad. Of course there is nothing compare with the rugged rocky coastscenery of Cornwall in the far south or of the weshk coast of Scotland, where the wild waves of il tormy Atlantic have broken the coast line into innumerable bays and headlands, cliffs and crevices, caverns and crags. The riding covers but square miles— Nebraska coutains 70,000 and little Rhode Island 1,806—so that the mill hands and miners from the dirty towns in the south cau reach the glorious’ freedom of the hills and vales in the north’ whenever they can spare a holiday Thesa hills, mero mole hiils they are in comparison with the great mountains of the Rockies, are in their own’ class massive and magnificent. ‘I'hey arg of limestone forma- tion and therefore have the customary flat and generally cofin-shaped tops.

One peculiarity of these hills is the “pots.” These aregreat holes, many of them hun- dreds of feet deep and anywhere frof five o six to 100 fect wiae at the mouth. Most of them have water running into them, and of course have all been formed by the action of the young mountain_streams on the soluble liméstone rocks. On the slopes of Ingle- borough is onc of the most noted of these pots. 1t is known as Gaping Gill Hole. Looked at from above it appears to be a crack in the rock, its sides worn smooth and hard by the running water. Around three sides of it is a high amphitbeater of grass, oo steep to afford a_safe foothold, at the fourth side the little beck or brook which, suve in very dry seasons, runs into the nots to cmerge from obscurity again lower down tho hill side. This little crick in the rock is some fifteen or twenty feet long, and not moro than six across at the widest part. Drop’a pebblo in. When you have almost given up listening for it you hear it strike the water several hundred feet below, or it way catch on some projecting rock and re- bound from side to side siriking several tunes vre splashing into the water, Clapham Caves, The stream that runs in here runs out through one of the most curious limestone caves 1n England. It does not contain any large chamber, but it is many hundred vards in length'and i1t are found the most singular looking stalactytes and other lime- stoue curiosities. Theentrance to these caves is reached through the grounds of Sir Thomas IParrer, which are open to visitors who are entrusted with a key upoa sizning a visitors book in the village of Clapham below. Through these grounds is a most picturesque ari uy, about a mile long cverhung with the richest foliage, with a pair of artificial lakes at the foot of a deep decline to the right. Through the trees can be had glimpses of Ingleborough, a typical example of the cofin-crowned hill, massivé and with A top a milo long, directly in_front; and across the lakes the slopes of Norber and Moughton, with the fatal Robin Proctor's scar, where the ill-fated shepherd lost his life one dark night and gave his name to the dangerous crag over which he fell, and Penygant, mizhty and silent in the distance, like a lion couchant. Prettiest Village in Yorkshire, Clapham village claims to be the prettiest in Yorkshire. Its houses are of limestone, their walls frequently three or four fest thick with heavy oak doors and each with its own w bit of garden, carefully tenaed and planted with sweet peas, weraniums, pansies, cowslips, primroses and duisies. hrough the center of the village splashes the little stream which has come down the slopes of [ngleborough, lost itself in Gaping Gill Hole, hollowed out the caves and fed tho two lakes already erred to. At its lower end is a postofiice and telegraph station and an hotel, a comfortable country inn of the kind 1o boe found 1o il the towns and villages of rural England. A mile to g mile and a hulf away 1s the railway station and there, at the junction also of two cross highways, is another us iun, known as the Flying Hors 106 A mile or more to the other side of Clap- ham—the footpath leads past the frout of Sir Thomas Farver's house—is another village, Austwis Though smaller, this is more typical of the eonntry villages of the Yorkshire bitl district than Clapham.

Once n Thriving Place, But these are its days of decadence. Austwick, like many another village in the surrounding country, was once a flourishing manufacturing village. The advent of the railway and the steam-driven looms, tending to the centralization of ail such work, killed its industry, and it is left to struggle along, its people having apparently no occupation save, perhups, some little sheep tending or a bit of garden in which vegetubles are grown for the market. OYer a considerable stretch of country at this lower end of the hill district ave scat- tered sucn little quiet villages, some smaller, some larger.

Ten miles north of Settle, around and south of wifch is a rich grazing country, is a wild and weird district on the east slope of Whernside. The main line of the Mid- land railway runs up here to Scotland,while | an older branch line forks off at Settle pass- ing Clapham on its way to Lancaster, | Morecambe aud Barrow-in-Furness. Up hero at the foot of Whernside is a famious via- | duet, immediately after crossing which | the railway plunges into a long and deep | tunnel. Twenty or more years ago, when | this piece of road was opened, it was looked upon as a marvelous piece of railwuy en- gineering. Just by the visduct is the sta- tion of Ribblehcad.” Here are about half a dozen cottages occupied by railway men, an inn and a pump.
