18 Pa— ILL WOMEN WEAR BEARDS? Time Coming When Girls Without the En- vied Down Will Not Be “In It." AND DUDINES WILL SPORT MUSTACHIOS It May Take Fifty Years, but the Growth of " ring Steadily—The New ader of Sorosis - Feminine Fashions and Fancles. The term “A bearded woman” Is to sensi- tive ears shockingly suggestive of a person altogether mascaline and repulsive. But It 18 us to longer disguise the fact that tully one-half of the feminine gender al- ready show very perceptible evidence that in time, say fifty years hence, they bid fair their masculine admirers in the cultivation and preservation of the bewltch- ing mustache, burnsides and stately beard, ‘The bearded lady” no longer proves a drawing card for the traveling circus. Why? Because In the last ten years she has ceased to be a novelty. We meet her frequently upon the public thoroughfare, sit beside her at the theater or in the house of worship, or, per chance, several may adorn our own family circle. What mean those numerous advertise- ments, such as “Depilatory paste,” “Prepara- tions warranted to remove superfluous hair,” ““Har on the upper 1ip, which so many ladies find disfiguring, forever eradicated by the use of the clectric needle?” Are they not proof positive that the poor helpless creatures of a supposedly cruel dispensation of Dame Nature are going to fight the fssuc n now they are battling bravely against a fate, which however unwelcome, will, as sure as the sun shines in the heavens above, sooner or later overtake them But to the last bitter hour they will resist the encroachment of this, to them, growing horror, calling to their aid all the extermi- nating remedies which science can suggest or art produce; but in time nothing will avail, and by the middle of the twentieth century they will gracefully eapitulate, suc- cumbing to the inevitable. In place of try ing to eradicate hair on the face, they will be’ seeking for cold cream and other well known promoters for the growth of pretty and luxuriant whiskers, and a girl without the envied down will not be “in it In that age to come just picture two pretty girls, cute Miss Kittie, with her blonde mus- tache waxed to an exquisite point of perfec- tlon, outrivaied only in charming attraction by graceful Maud,” who employs only the most expert of barbers to curl the jet black bangs beneath which gleam and sparkle teeth of dazzling white. And what a blessing in disguise it is going to be to unfortunate girls with big mouths, crooked teeth or homely chins! Why, many a woman who has been married twenty years has no idea what an ugly beast her husband is, because nothing could induce him to shave off his beard, which, like charity, “covers a multitude of sins.” But at last the monopoly on so many advantages long usurped by the sterner sex 1s going to be relegated to a back scat, for who knows, my ambitious sisters of ballot reform and the Bloomer proclivities, that pants and the female franchise may not be introduced (o support the coming mustache. 1 know tha: many ladies are going to be shocked by this revelation, and my bearded lady friends are going to deny it individ- ually and collectively. But facts talk. I am told by a gentleman who has traveled ex- tensively that In Paris bearded women are numerous, and that among the women of Spaln, one out of every ten sports a respect- ablo mustache. Everyone knows who has seen the Infanta Eulalia that in that respect she sets a fair example for her country- woman. In Constantinople the proportion ot mustached women is greater than in Spain. A Boston physician Is authority for the as- sertion that fully 4 per cent of the ladles of that city are “aflicted”” with a perceptible growth of hair upon the upper lip. I noticed some very remarkable hairy growths upon female faces in southern Cali- fornia, a number of misses of 14 or 15 years being quite heavily bearded. One handsome woman of about 30, gowned In oxquisite taste, had evidently outgrown the shrinking from public attention usually exhibited in similar cases, and seemed very proud, as she caressed with slender -white fingers, quite after the manner of a “real dude,” her fine, well-kept silky mustache that drooped grace- fully over the delicately curved Ip: Some men of science go so far into the aim uncertain future as to assert that the human race will eventually be covered with hair. What a relief that would be to those la- dies who anticipate the event of clothing themselves in the hides of animals with the furry side out. Ugh! Could anything be more hideous than the sreat, ugly, out-of- proportion fashionable fur garment of the day made from the skins of bloodthirsty Siberian wolves, the snarling Russian dog, mudgroveling beaver or innocent seal—the latter almost exterminated to gratify the rapacious demands of the fair sex to be attired in soft brown hair, But when that blessed time arrives, if ever it does, when all the daughters of earth and sons of men shall be provided with a natural dress, like the monkey and the orang outang, what' a glorious emancipation it will be from the tyranny of dressmakers and tallors. Then, indeed, will our great-great-great- great-grandchildren find abundant leisure for Intellectual pursuits. G. H, It Is not long since Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett, in “The One I Knew the Best of AlL” told the world about her youthful literary efforts. Most of the world, doubt- less, wishod it could read one of thoso de- liclously ridiculous tales she described, where every heroine boasted hair five feet long and & complexion of roses and cream, where her clothes were minutely described and her fainting fits duly recorded. Although that pleasuro is denied the community, it may have the one of reading a tale probably not very unlike Mrs, Burnett's infant efforts, in “My Book,” by Cella Bosworth. This book was written by the little girl at the tender age of 8 years. It is not a realistic production in any sense of the word. Such a thing as a plain woman she scorns. Her femiuine characters are all transcend- ently lovely and her masculine ones models of manly gra The story tells tho career of the heroine, beginning with her early youth. In almost every chapter this fortu- nate young woman changes her frock and appears In something a little more rayish- Ingly beautiful than the last. At an age when most children wear pinafores, pale blue mulle, thin black stuff with yellow roses meandering over it, white lawns and sashes galore form the outfit of the heroine. She 18 poor and lowly for two or three chapters, and then suddenly acquires fortune and title. Just how (his is brought about is veiled in myste Among the pleasant things that happen to this fortunate being, who at 18 is “one of tho most beautiful women in Eng- land,” Is a sorles of meetings with Queen Vietorla. The two ladles converse together quite aNably and exchange touching confi- del of all sorts. Of course the heroine marries the man of her heart, and all the other young ladies do likewlse. Porhaps the most striking feature of the tale is the sudden restoration of one Jakey, a _country lad, to the fortune and title of which he has heen deprived. He and his two sisters have Been stolen from thelr luxurious home, not in a group, but one by one at a very early age. The unscrupulous woman who'steals them brings them each In turn to a certain simple-minded country woman, whose simplicity is so extreme that the thief is able to persuade her that the children are her own. Of course they are eventually restored to riches and power, All this makes very funuy reading for the novel reador who has been brought up on the works of older writers, but at the same time 1t reprosents an unusual degree of Imagination and perseverance in, an elght- year-old child. Plot, language and every- thing are vouched for' by Cella's rolatives to bave becn her own. And as sho Is a healthy young person, with a fondness for dolls and jack-stones, it Is not likely that her precocity will develop into a dangerous disease. Mrs. Burnett has intimated that her early tales were on as remarkable lines s “My Book,” although she was saved from the fats of having them published.

He is popular with his | fellows, and through one of them he moets and marries a pretty, freely brought-up girl. Then he takes her home. She may not meet with unkindness from her husband’s family, for the Orientals have many amiable and attractive qualities, and they are not cruel. But if tho husband has not cut himself adrift from the religion and ties of his childhood his wife must eonform, to a cortaln extent, to the ordinary life of the native woman. And, Inasmuch as she will only do this so far as ler love and duty to her husband oblige her, she will cortainly fail to satisfy her new relatives, and will be looked on with coldness and suspicion by them. Everybody in Milan is trying to learn mere about a ducl fought on January 20 by the Baroness del Fuoco and her maid. The baroness 1s supposed to be the most beautiful woman in Milan, says the New York Adver- i She i3 a soubrette, and enjoys the popularity which her face and occupation de- mand. She is an expert fencer, as one of her most celebrated acts is to appear in tights and disarm with her sword a man of twico her stature. Some months ago a rich Austrian facturer went to Milan to pass the winter. He fell fn love with the baroness and be came her Inccepted admir He spent fabulous sums of money upon her and monopolized her attentions off the stage. Early in January the baroness engaged a new maid of a rather mysterious past. The mald was younger than her mistrass and hardly less beautiful. She let the Austrian in whenever he called upon the baroness, nd in two weeks he showed signs of trans- ferring his affections and income. The sig multiplied after ho discovered that the maid was the stage-struck danghter of a Turin nobleman, The girl had run away trom home, but had been as yet unable to get place nearer the stage than the barones dressing room. The baroness did not hesitata w learned that the Austrian’s affections wero wavering. She challenged her mald to fight with swords, leaving her the usual privilege of rasing the choice of weapons to pistols The mald had practiced with the baron foils, and therefore accepted the challenge in its original form. She temporized with her mistress, however, 50 as to secure time for practice with a fencing master In Milan. Eventually the duel was fought in the carl evening on the outskirts of the city. The detalls of the meeting are still lacking. At 6 o'clock the next morning the chief surgeon of the Life Saving society was callod to the Baroness' flat. He found her in be with a blg piece of plaster over a cut in h cheek. On the sofa opposite the bed lay her maid with a deep cut on her shoulder. Honor had been satisfied. The women had been reconciled and had passed the night in weeping. They had decided to call in tho Austrian and let him choose between them. However, when the surgeon went to the Aus- trian’s lodging, he learned that the gentle- man had heard of the affair and had left town to escape thc scandal. manu- The Philadelphia Times recommends the following solution of the problem of handling a daughte First—You can't do It.

Fifth—It there is any man you want her to marry, kick him out of your house, order the servants never to admit him, distribute man- traps and spring guns and bulldogs all around your grounds, lock her up in her room and vow if she marties him you won't leave her a penny.

The custom of using a family or surname as a first or Christian name is one of the newer fashions in naming the new baby, and one which is to be greatly commended, writes Mrs. Hamilton Mott in a valuable article in the March Ladies' Home Journal. The value of such a use should be especlally considered by parents in their selection of a name for the baby. Immediate family rec- ognition is one of the first results of such a name. When the family names are famous their selection is even more appropriate, as they carry on to further generations the names which have made the world greater. When they are reminders simply of the good, it mot of the great men of an older day, they ennable their possessor with past honor and present resolve. Almost any boy will have a stronger incentive for living a manly and noble life if he feels that tho name which he wears was borne by ono whom all men loved to honor. And any girl will surely be more womanly and con- scientious 1f she fecls that her name is a synonym for honor and nobility. Here is a custom of France which it would be well for our American young girls to re- flect upon—and to encourage, says the Phila- delphia Times. It is to recelve presents of flowers only, even from a flance. If the en- gagement should be broken—as engage- ments sometimes are, you know—there can be no horrible entanglement about the re- turn of gifts. Flowers are perishable, They die with the day, but while they last they are capable of affording exquisite pleas- ure and gratification. In France the lover, as a rule, endeavors to send his flance each day a bisket or boguet of white flowers. And as the supply 15 bound to meet the de- mand, there are florists who make a business of engagement flowers. There Is, one dis- covers, a special ctiquette about the way In which' the white satin ribbon is tied on them—true lover's knot, of course—and we learn that the present prevailing mode 1s a basket of white flowers tled with white rib bon and veiled in white tulle. ¥ and pretty and dainty, no doubt, but to Americans _rather suggestive of a baby funeral. We wlill take our flowers o it you please—and never mind the ribbons or the tulle, The “gentlemanly glrl” s shaking off the French fripperies by which she has been more or less submerged for tho last year or 80, and now proposes to come very much to the fore this spring. The fact js that there i3 too much real comfort and convenience about the semi-masculine costume to allow of its being wholly discarded, says the No York Tribune, and Milady has wisely d. cided not to abandon it, but simply to rele gate It to its proper place, where it becomes the most appropriate and at the same time the most becoming costume a woman can wear. To look really well in a mannish taflor mado gown a woman should be con- sistent. Lace, earrings and elaborately crimped hair are manifestly out of place, and a neat collar, tie, laced boots and dog- skin gloves are do rigueur. A bonnet would be an anomaly, a soft felt hat In winter or a saflor hat in summer being the only head- gear permissible with such a costume.

Meantime New York women may live in the cheerful expectation of having different Paulas shock them next year in a great many dif- forent ways. Miss Kate H. Pier of Milwaukee, Wis., was recently admitted to practice before the United States supreme court. In 1886 Miss Pier and her mother entered the law de- partment of the University of Wisconsin, and by hard work both were able to gradu- ate the following year. Miss Pler's efforts were instrumental in carrying through the legislature the bill which made it possible for her mother to be appointed court com- missioner. Her father, Colonel C. K. Pler, and her two younger sisters are attorneys. Two more first prizes of $40 each have been taken by Harvard Annex students in the Old South IHistorical course.

Tetlow, daughter of the headmaster of the Girl's Latin school of Boston; another on ‘“Coronado and the Early Spanish Explorations in New Mexico,” by Miss Carrie H. Harper, sophomore, of Charlestown. The second prizes were taken by young men. Miss Sophie C. Hart was an earlier Annex winner of an Old South prize. Some kind man suggests a new definition of the term “old maid.” He thinks 1t should bo applicd only to those who have never had an opportunity to change their condition. For the women who “would not when they could,” or whose course of love did not run smoothly, he thinks the respectful title of “‘maiden ladies” would be about right.

In lieu of a bettde authority, the writer ventures to offer kome criticisms on Dr. Duryea's definition and to glve what he considers a more accurate one The reverend gentleman's statement s wrong and wholly fails to express the mean- Ing of anarchist. He divides anarchists fnto constructive and destructive. With equal propriety a like division might be made of democrats, republicans, phohibition- Ists or Christians. It explains nothing. Under constructive anarchist he gives faulty definition of socialist; and under de- structive anarchist a somewhat better defi- nition of nihilist The words soclalist and nihilist are diametrically opposite in meaning, and both are distinct from anarchist; but in popular usage the threo are often confounded. The nihilist is always destructive; the soclalist 15 always construc the anarchist may be either or Many per they belong. anarchists, are ous malcontents, v of nihilists, the c and the sense of anarchists, think th long to any or all classes. But such mis. takes are not confined to socialists, nihilists and anarchists, and do not change the mean ing of the words. Thousands of America autocrats, aristocrats and plutocrats calt themselves democrats; but this does not change the meaning of the word democrat Anarch, anarchism, anarchist, amarchy come from the Greek word anarchia, which in turn is made from arche, with the nega. tive prefix “an” (equivalent to our “‘un’" 1 (1).

A man's opinion, not his acts, decide his title to the name’ anarchist. The methods he advocates and employs to accomplish his aims do not make him more or less an an- archist. He may be content to await quictly the growth of public opinion; he may favor and practice agitation through speaking and writing; he may believe in‘forcible overthrow of existing institutions. The test of the theoreti anarchist is a belief that all human goWernment is an assumption of authority for which there is no basis of right, and that it is destructive of the peace and happiness of mankind. Theoretical ana s are persons justly entitled 10 anarchist; but most people In love with the superstition called government, so sure that God did not finish his work, and that the human mon- sities blasphemously called laws are in- ensable supplements and supports to the code, that they think anarchy neces- sarily implies confusion and strife. Hence the word anarchist is made to include a sccond class who may properly be styled criminal anarchists—a class with whom theoretical anarchists deem it no honor to e counted. A man's acts are the grounds which en- title him to be a member of this class of anarchists; his opinions are of no conse- quence. A criminal anarchist Is one who boldly, openly and flagrantly sets at deflance the existing laws. It fs immaterlal whether the law is good or bad. Law Is law; and whoever persistently sets at deflance a law promulgated by the supreme power of a state or municipality is a criminal anarchist. The saloonkeeper in a prohibition state, and the lawyer who defends him; the banker or money loaner who takes usury; the r road manager who Ignore the Interstate commerce law; the mob which lynches a murderer; Grover Cleveland and John G Carlisle when they refuse to buy 4,500,000 ounces of silver per month; the managers of the great trusts, and Attorney General Olney when he fails to prosecute them as commanded by the law he W hold; gamblers and prostitutes when traffic 13 prohibited, and the officers whose duty it is to suppress them (if they fail to do it)—all these are criminal anarchists. A prevalent error nowadays is to apply the word anarchist indiscriminately, as a term of reproach, to any one who is con- sidered bad. This is a radical wrong against which the gamblers and prostitutes should protest, for it gets them into bad company. The test is legal, not moral. The man who upholds vicious laws with all his might may be a viilain, but he s not an anarchist. The man who steals in strict conformity with a law framed for his special use may be a consummate scoundrel, but he is not an an- archist. He who boldly defies and resists a bad law is a criminal anarchist, though he may be noble, patriotic and brave.

They want anarchy or nothing They have no patience with palliative meas- ures or partial progress. They hate social- ism, for they wantinothing that may ease conditions and make people contented.” They especially hate nationalism (that is com- plete natfonal co-operation), the form of soclalism most prevalent in America.
