In peaking of young ladles I mean unmar
ked tadles , for the young married womtn of
Omaha , with'1 but two or three exceptions ,
are .old the moment they pronounce thu mar
riage" vow. ' Just' ns soon as a young couple
become engaged they are virtually out of
nocicty. Everyone knows all about Jt , and
they are treated with the same curiosity
that one finds In the small country towns. ,
A utrangsr'ln Omaha with a modern jeut
coot would attract no more attention than
nn avowed lover , and surely n stranger
with n modem coat comes In the way of a
curiosity. So married women nre old women
and wo will speak , of them at another time.
The Omaha belles are Just UH prptty as the
belles of other cities. The southern beauty , ,
so iftcn spoken and written about , Is not
more perfect than the beauty found right
here In Omaha , and I must admit that no.
one appreciates It more than the gallnnts
who enjoy It.
The young man In Omaha wlio lm a
hotnely girl must be unattractive Indeed.
But let him be as attractive as he may he
will never have more than one girl at a
time. . This Is one of Omaha's provincial
isms. .
The Omaha girl Is pretty ; she Is g/acc- ;
fill , she Is vivacious ; never cold , and only
formal when It Is proper. Moro often we
will find her dreadfully Improper , hut de
lightfully Innocent. She is not well. Shcj
has no more Idean about chess- than a grl )
from Grand Island would have. She wears ,
big sleeves juade out of some soft cloth so"
that they Will lay down nice and smooth ;
and not attract any attention. ,
If there Is'cno thing that frightens pn
Omaha girl more than another It U con-
Fplcuousness. Would she" wear whale hones
In her sleeves ? No , Somebody might re
mark It , and that would mortify her dread
fully. This modesty Is carried almost tq
the verge of ridiculousness. I have beeri
Introduced to young ladles , daughter * of
rich merchants and bankers , who dress ,
when upon the street. In clothes little bet
ter than shabby. Many a. time I hayo
avoided meeting them so as to save myself
the mortification of rpcdgnlzlng them. *
t She has not the * faintest Idea of approprN
atoncsB. She will wear an Eaton Jacket ,
* hlrt waist and russet shoes .on Sunday ;
nnd possibly she may wear them to church.
Now nhy Is this ? Is It becotis ? that she
does not know that while In town negligee
cannot bo worn on Sunday , or because she
has no other wearing apparel ? Let us
hope that It Is the latter reason that prompts
her to to grossly Insult propriety In dress.
I have seen young ladles in church with
duckings , both in shoes and dress , while
other young ladles , going for n drive , will
don some modest gown so as not to bo con
spicuous.
As for hats , It appearsto me\ \ , that the
Bailer Is worn any place , from a requiem
mass to a lawn tennis tournament. There
Is no place so sacred that It will not be
Invaded by the "sailor" of nn Omaha girl.
' How she walks' Just like a chicken. The
Almighty gav her legs and ppwer to move
them. This .tho docs , and nothing more.
The Idea "of walking In any particular style
never entered tier head. Sho- has heard
that It Is 'proper-to swing one's shoulders.
This some' of the" Omaha girls do to1 such 'an
extc9i'iUmtjit-really makes mo quite giddy ,
nnd .J fedl tempted to rush up and catch
thejtl Uefore-theyMoso their balance.
Tlerf\j \ but one young lady In Omaha
who knows1'liow to walk. You have un
doubtedly seen her on the streets as well
as I. , She also carries lorgnettes , and , In
my opinion , Is the only young lady In
Omaha wlth'blue blood.
It Is perfectly evident to me that the
yourijt ladles' In this town have been Imper
fectly' Instructed In their dancing. If this
were n'qt so they would never walk so
abominably. Many stoop over , and others
walk as though they wcro leitvlng their feet
behind them. '
NoWf dear glrla , whatever stooping you
do , do It from your waist and keep your
feet In front of you. .Swinging Is proper ,
but swing your whole body and step high ,
that Is , pick your feet on the pavement
and let them down again with decision , just
as It you knew they wcro there.
From tlmo to time the style In walking
changes , but these changes nre never radical
and are very 'easily acquired after one once
learns how to walk. There Is still another
etylo In walking and It never changes , that
Is , It has not changed since our grandmotherb
were girls. This Is the ball room walk , or
the walk that Is used In the house. You
have no Idea how out of place i really swell
street stride looks In the parlor.
This ball room walk Is the essence of
gracefulness and was not Invented to save
time or cover ground. Any one , naturally
graceful , with study aand practice can learn
this walk. The shoulders are held a la mlll-
talre , and the legs are used springy as pos-
Bible with only enough swing to the arms
to glvo the figure composure.
I once knew a young lady who learned to
walk this way without assistance , but then
she could walk no other way and was dread
fully bad form on the street.
Now , I would advise the girls who wish to
acquire these necessary accomplishments to
first obtain an able master and then to prac
tice continually.
In New York many of the young ladles be
long to classes where walking Is taught as an
art. .
Her flirtations , oh , they are terrible ! . At
least that's what she thinks. She actually
glanced out of the sldo of her eye once , but
then It was at an actor , and she has never
forgiven herself for being so naughty. It
Is lucky for her that she never tried It again ,
for the busybody Is now shadowing her.
The only women In Omaha who have any
freedom are the widows , and they do have a
Jolly time. Girls , don't you wish you wore
widows ? Then you could let your sparkling
eyes twinkle to- their heart's content. Then
you would not freeze our young blood with
those cruelly cold glances , but accidentally
drop your dainty handkerchief , so that we
might with proper gallantry return It to you. I
do no ( wish my gentle readers to think
that I approve of flirting. On the contrary.
I consider xne actions commonly called 'flirt-
Ing as the height of Impropriety , for It may
lead one Into the most undesirable complica
tions. Yet a glance , a smile can do no
harm , and romance Is the splco of life.
Her love affairs era numerous. 'They
usually cover a long period of time before
the Intended actually appears. This Is the
reason that so many or our maiden acquain
tances don't look so young as they did.
An Omaha girl might love more times
than she has fingers and toes , and yet she
will love sincerely each time. Her passion
I > as pure as herself , and If her lover be
either rich or poor her love remains the
tame.
In less provincial places than Omaha
women have grown practical , and now look
upon motiey as the first consideration. They
do not marry for money , yet they do not
permit themselves to love any one without
money. This Is the only safeguard society
has to protect Itself from the Inroads of the
rabble. The young ladles should consider
' Uils. icrlousJy , If It does not spoil a young
lady to. consider anything seriously.
v Although the society In Omaha at present
Is In tliq happy condition where It would
be Impossible to spoil It , yet the young ladles
must remember that this state of things
cannot always exist , and the poxver to better
It lies In thrlr hanJi. I mean that the
young- ladles of means should not throw
themselves n\vny upon these clerks and ready
made dudei , uven though they might bo
manly fellows. What society wants Is blood ,
not the grots unconvcntlonalltlcs of a packIng -
Ing house clerk or strong-minded bank col
lector.
Ladles , love and marry gentlemen , not
those parodies who wear their hair parted on
the side and go to the opera In a sack suit.
Ilemember Omaha U gradually shaking
otf the me h of the wild anil woolly , and If
Wood la uot here , why , then , Import it. I
do not approve International marriage * ,
yet manof them have proved nappy. Bet
your cap for a young man who represents
some cultured family In any of our eastern
cltlci ! , where they arc plentiful. Of course ,
you must pot expect to get a rich gentle
man , a such an one would not likely marry
a western girl , for a western alliance would
hardly be advantageous to a gentleman al
ready pctateszcd of money.
An Omaha girl's love Is like an extra cJI-
tlon of The lice , every one sect It. She li
so ( elf-conscious that her friends rush up
to her and tny. "Oh , Jennie , what alls you ;
are you In love ? " and then , of course , Jenny
pleads guilty Of the charge and tells how
Jack proposed , etc. , etc. Then when Jack
chows his face again we may pity him , for
every girl Tie metis will know all about It ,
and will -say , " 'Oh , Jack , how Is she ? "
"Who ? " asks Jack. "Oh , you know who ! "
will be the response.
This1 reminds me of my country cousins
who live In Maine , where they still RO
n-courtln' ' Childishness
- and sparkln' . Such
Is beyond till.excuse , and I have heard much
of It whllo In Omaha. Any woman who has
this Inqulsltlveness can never be a social
success , and I would advise her not to leave
Omaha , for jmch apparent Ill-breeding would
not bo tolerated elsewhere * .
Her breeding has In the moral scute been
exemplary. , , .Mamiri.V ccclriB lo-lmvc Intended
her for a cannibal missionary or toucher of
the bible class , but not as a society woman.
Whatever llttlo coquettish wiles she learns
must be through experience , for mamma
never drp.imt of such n thing , and the prin
ciples of sumII society arc unknown to her.
She Is told that she will probably some day
marry n man , but the prospect decs li&t
frighten her-a particle ?
Shu never Cloves' a man for money , or be
cause he has a better social position than
she can command , for mamma said she
mustn't. Mamma says that such marriages
ore unhappy , , and papa says that If Jennie
will make tome man as good a wife us
mamma has been , , thcn he will die happy.
Such were the ideas of our grandparents.
Why should we cling to them at this fcitc
date ? One would think that a woman mar
ried for no other reason than to raise chil
dren.
dren.My
My dear girls , pet these Ideas out of your
head. We do not Tiavo marriages these
days. Wo merely enter Into an alliance ,
and the propagation of the race Is * left to
the classes. CIU3M DE MYNT.
As the time , approaches to leave the city
for sea shore , and mountains many women
are filled wltll envy when they see a favor
ite of fortune who Is blessed with natural
ringlets. She can go through n drizzling
rnln , a sea turn , a dense fog , or a sea bath
and come out looking particularly charming
with the little damp clustering curls about
her face , while the unfortunates present a
decidedly bedraggled and forlorn appearance
with straightand straggling locks. But
th'ere seems to be n remedy for this misfor
tune , nnd tliJH remedy has attained a great
degree of perfection wlth'ln the last few
years , says the New Y.ork Sun. Though
one's hair cannot be made to retain the de
sired kinks' , natural curls can be
bought ' and - substituted. The only
drawback Is that they are a
very expensive luxury. Naturally wavy
hair being rare and difficult to procure , the
price of It Is high. The manufacturers of
coiffures often pay as high as' $250 a pound.
If the hair Is white It costs from | 450 to
$ lbOO a pound.The old-fashioned wig Is no
more , new false pieces taking Its place.
T.hexe false pieces are exceedingly light ,
being made of a tmall piece of tulle. The
hair Is sewed Into the tulle , which Is In
visible when on the head. Polnte d'Alen-
cpn Is a lace manufactured for this pur
pose. It is made especially strong , so that
it will often last two years ur more without
a break.
The false pieces come In small fluffy
bung ) that cannot be told from one's own
hair. 'Then there Is a coiffure that Is
made for seashore wear or when one Is trav
eling and waving the hair has to be dis
pensed with. One's own hair may be
pushed smoothly back as the "front piece"
covers nearly the whole head. The back pleca
Is simply a bunch of curls on n long hair
pin , which 1 * used to form a knot. , This
may bo arranged yery quickly , as braids
and twists arc done away , with. '
Pretty coiffures are also- made for those
who are losing their hair or are already
slightly bald about the temples. Then
sometlmed the hair has Been burned and
hurt by using hot Irons so that It can no
longer be curled and some kind of a false
piece Is desired that the hair may be al
lowed to rest and grow.
One of the newest styles and a great fa
vorite has the hair drawn back from the cen
ter of the forehead and short curls on
either side.
When the baldness becomes more pro
nounced there arc pieces arranged to wave
at the sides of the head , going In with the
back hair , and complete wigs , made so per
fect that It takes a keen ob crver to be
positive that they are .wigs , may be had
when the head has become almost entirely
bald.
Hero Is a rather pretty story which U
vouched for by , a London journal , showing-
how a small baby once got his mother Into
serious difficulties and then made amemU
by getting her out of them again. It seem ,
that a poor scamstreis with a child In her
arms was tried for the theft of three gold
coins. She said In defense : "I went to
my employer's house on business. I car *
rled my child In my arms , aj It Is now ,
I was not paying attention to It. There
were several gold coins on the mantel
piece , and , unknown to me. It stretched
out Its llttlo hand and swied three pieces ,
which I did not observe until I gat home.
I at once put on my bonnet and was going
back to my employer to return them when
I was arrested. This Is the solemn truth ,
as I hope for heaven' * mercy. "
The court could not believe thla story *
They upbraided the motncr for her Im
pudence In endeavoring to palm oft such a
falsehood for ' the truth. Hut she so per
tinaciously 'asserted her Innocence that a
novel experiment was made In her favor.
One of the officials proposed to renew Ihe
scene described by Ihe mother. The gold
coins were place on the clerk's table. The
mother was requested to resume the posi
tion In which she stood at her employer's
house. There was then a breathless pause
In court. The baby soon discovered the
bright coins , eyed them for a moment ,
smiled and then clutched them In Its fingers
with a miser's eagerness. The mother
was at once acquitted.
Messrs. Allen and Sachtleben , the two
young American students who made a tour
around the world on bicycles , tell many In
teresting stories of their experiences In Asia.
In the first of a series of articles written
for the Century , which appears In the May
number , they' give the following account of
the dishes that were set before them In Tur
key :
As all cooking and rating had stopped at
the sound of the morning cannon , we found
great difficulty In gathering together even
In a cold breakfast of ckmek , yaourt and
raisins. Ekmek Is a cooked train-Hour
paste , which has the thinness , consistency
and almost the taste of blotting paper. This
Is the Turkish peasant's staff of life. He
carries It with him everywhere ; so did we.
As It was ma.de | n huge circular sheets , we
would often punch a hole In the middle
and slip It over our.arms. This we found
the handiest -and most serviceable mode of
transportation , being handy to eat with It
without removing our hands from the
handle-bars , and also-answering the purpose
of satis In case of a favoring wind.
Yaourt , another almost universal food , Is
milk curdled with rennet. This , an- well
as all foods that are not liquid , they scoop
up with a roll of ekmek ,
part of the scoop being taken with
every mouthful. Halslns here , as well as
In many other parts of the country , are very
cheap. We paid two plasters ( about 9
cents ) for an oclie ( two and a half pounds ) ,
but wo coon inarto the discovery that a
Turkish echo contained a great many
"stones" which , of course , was purely ac
cidental. Eggs , also , we found exceedingly
cheap. On one occasion twenty-five were
let before us , In response to our call for eggs
to the value of one plaster V4 cents.
In Asiatic Turkey we had some extraordi
nary dtshf * served to us. Including daintily
prepared leeches. Hut the worst mixture ,
perhaps , wa * the "llalram soup , " which
contains over a dozen Ingredients , Includ
ing peas , prunes , walnuts , cherries , date * .
White and black beans , apricots , cracked
wheat , raisins , etc. all mixed In cold water ,
llalram Is the period of feasting after the
Ramadan fast.
In one particular , at least , Philadelphia
society occupies an almost unique position
In this country. Thla peculiarity la II *
absolute disregard for money. The man
with a long rent roll IB no more favortd
than the clerk who U dependent on hie
( mall salary In a downtown office ; the girl
who has to make her own ball dresses re
ceives Just aa much attention as her feoclal
sinter who buyn hers In Paris , and It IB a
fact that the man who marries a rich girl
In the Quaker City Is usually regarded with
severe suspicion. Philadelphia society Is
formed on a basis of Philadelphia birth , sayi
a writer In Harper's Magazine , and It has
not very much regard for anything else.
A man who boasts of n grandfather born In
the Quaker City , according to the notions of
this old society , Is considerably more of a
pen on than another man who can trace his
family back ten generations In any other
state. A young Philadelphia matron to my
knowledge had to choose as a gucsl for
dinner between a commonplace girl with a
long Philadelphia pedigree and a very bright
and amusing girl who had n perfectly secure
position In New York. Without a moment's
hesitation the hostess chose the common
place Phtladclphlan , and she did It wjth Ihe
full knowledge that by so doing she would
give the greater satisfaction lo her guests ,
who all happened td be from her own city ,
f simply state this to show that Phlla-
drlphlans above nil else love their own , and
to bo born and bred In their city Is the
highest honor which they recognize. So far
an the usual social functions arc concerned ,
those of Philadelphia 'do 'not differ very
materially from those of other cities , except'
In the fact that the debutantes form the
axle about which the social circle revolves.1
From two to three years Is the usually
allotted time In which a girl plays an active
part In Philadelphia society. Then she
generally has a very expensive wedding , and
retires to an Inexpensive married1
existence on Locust street. Alrriont every
city has Its Brides' How , and In this respect
Philadelphia Is no exception. The only dif
ference Is that the houses on Locust street
are probably smaller than any other brides'
he-uses In the world , iiiul show an architect
ural variety In their fronts which makes
the castles of Chljaeo'a North Side drlvo ap
pear absolutely plain.
A light wrap Is considered a necessary
addition to a summer outfit , says the fashion
editor of the New York Sun , and whether It
Is needed or not It Is the fashion to have
capes , coats and Jackets of various kinds.
Capes arc , ns they have been for some time ,
the most desirable garment extant , for , no
matter what proportion the sleeve assumes ,
the cape adjusts Itself to the required size.
Light transparent black materials , such as
silk muslin , chiffon and net. are used for
some of the more gauzy affairs , which are
well named "cool mantles , " for the element
of warmth Is entirely lacking. However ,
they afford all the thickness that Is needed ,
and fulfill their mission by looking pretty
and giving a finishing touch to the street
toilet. The most fashionable ones are very
short , and often built In two or three"stories ;
for Instance , a moire foundation will have
a second cape of finely platted chiffon
spangled at the edge , while the third'capo
will bo of jetted net or old guipure lace , with
full ruche of ostrich feathers or quilted
tulle around the neck.
A very dainty and summery cape is made
of finely plaited black chiffon over a second
capo of the same material In glowing cerise ;
yellow or white. The black capo Is caught
up with satin bows on the shoulder. A
yoke of spangles or net , around which the
flounces of chiffon are shirred , makes It very
pretty. One of the season's shapes has long
stole ends In front , but It Is not a favorite
style , as ends are said to add age to the
figure , which , It true , Us fate Is settled
beyond help.
The old fogies may frown and look
askance If they will , but meanwhile the
cycle girl continues to roll along just the
same. And the longer she rides her two-
wheeled Pegasus the better acquainted , she
becomes with his back , says the Brooklyn
Times. Hec favorite Is averse to skirts , and
If his rider does not finally discard them
It will not be because Pegasus has not" mrfde
plenty of objections to such obstructions.
Narrow skirts are out of the question , as
they do not permit sufficient freedom of mor
tlon. Wide skirts are nearly as bad , for
the wind generated by the rapid motion
blows the folds tight about the body and Im
pedes progress as much as those which are
made narrow. If the , , .only reason for re
taining the objbctlonabls'rpettlcoat Is that
they are more modest , this will not defemj
them sufficiently , for they do not conceal the
figure"so successfully as the looae trousers
called bloomers. j
At a meeting- a dress reform club re
cently It was decided that the nearest api
preach to man's attire was the most con
venient , as well as the most graceful cos
tume. Women have overcome their scruples
sufficiently to wear the modern bathing .suit.
They will doubtless do the same In the case
of bicycle costumes. The French women
have already assumed them as a matter of
course.
The blouse and short skirt Is of dark gray
waterproof goods. The band around the" bottom
tom of the skirt , the belt , the lower sleeves
and the V plastron are all of black. Straps
of the gray are stitched down on the
shoulders and sleeves. A small black hat
with a quill completes the costume.
It Is a common opinion that our girls
have grown to be mere butterfly lassies , a *
changeful as the colors of the chameleon.
But Is It all their fault , suppojlng the state
ment to be true ? How can a girl brought
up to have what she likes , when she likes
It , no matter what the cost , ever learn to
think In regard to the use and abuse of
money ? asks the Philadelphia Times. I
know of one father who never allows his
daughter to have more than ? 1 or $2 In
money , but she can charge to any amount
consequently she does charge In a reckless
manner and never considers cost when Items
are to go on the bill. But she will worry
and fret over cash expenditures till her
pretty head Is nearly distraught.
Women should have more liberty finan
cially. To receive money doled out In pitiful
amounts by a husband or father Is simply
maddening. If a woman were allowed a cer
tain amount she would soon grow accustomed
to It. and would make every dollar count
Nothing so broadens and expands character
as trust. The best deeds have often been ac
complished by Inferior people who have risen
to the occasion by aid of the trust placed
upon them. If the girls realized the moral re
sponsibility of money and were allowed to
use It more as they chose , they would soon
grow to enjoy spending money to the best
advantage , feeling a sort of partnership In
the funds which It Is to their Interest ) to
dispose of well' . Lock up the coffers ; never
let the women know the Incomes they are to
draw from ; tell them they couldn't under
stand business even If It were explained to
them , and of course the result Is a "butter
fly girl. "
A suggestion from a very high quarter
has lately been the means of creating an
Invention by which the whole traveling
world will doubtless benefit. It occurred to
her royal highness. Princess Christian , when
ordering one of Messrs. Drew's "enroute"
tea baskets that the conveniences of the
basket would be Immensely Increased If the
tea , coffee or any other liquid could , be kept
hot , Instead of the traveler being compelled ,
as heretofore , to expend time In boiling the
kettle , making the tea < ate. The expression
of this desire on the part of her royal high
ness has led the firm at Piccadilly circus
to devise an admirable apparatus wherein
two vessels ( say of csffee and milk ) can be
Inserted containing the hot beverages , and
can be left there for the space of even six
hours without the contents suffering any
appreciable chill. In the basket made for
the princess the bottles are of an extra
thick kind of nickel silver , and are placed
In a case of nonhait-canductlng material ,
and the cups and saucers with < whlch the
basket Is furnished are made of the finest
white Stourbrldgo china. For the use of
the general public similar baskets are being
rapidly manufactured large enough to con
tain luncheon ( Including , for Instance , a
tureen of soup or a dUh of hot stew ) for a
party of several persons.
