LL. -J Tvntn IvnulTriifiii. I mil
not nKi'Inlly Interested In
kissing, though Iivus cur
ious to lrnrn tlio writer's
position n this common
Koclnl custom. Most Indy
w liters, unit In fact nil
writers pretend to dopre-
cnti w lint tlny cull "pi omlsciious kissing ,
but Mh-s KiiuIViuiiii (I Infer from them tide
that tliw author In n "Miss") took, I wns pleas
ed to observe, n new view. Kho doesn't see
nny particular linrni In nn oocnslonnl kiss,
and it In evident that she linn small respect
for the man who lmsn'tthonervo to oeeuslon
nlly put tlio right kind of a kiss in the right
place.
V
Example of the artistic osculations of
Thackeray, Dickens, Mrs. Alexander, et til,
are given. Among otheisthofrllowlng story
Is told: "Hov. Brown, mi English divine or
puritanic Ideas, author of u lllhllcil concor
dance, courted his wife seven years beforo he
asked If ho might kiss her. Must as you
please,' she unswered, demurely. 'Lvtusllrst
ask a blessing,' he wild, lifter which he kissed
her. 'Whyl It's good,' ho exclaimed. 'Let lis
return thanks'. Thoy were married in n few
weeks."
A young Indy Is quoted as summing up tlio
qualities of u suitor an follows: "He was
good-looking, hu uus educated, ho wn de
voted, he sent mo ilowors -I nlwnys thought
I'd love a mull who sent mo flowers but (In
a tone of disdain) ho hadn't seuso enough to
kiss mo when he had a chance I"
Poor fullowl He would undoubtedly have
got the girl if hu had had a Jlttlo nerve. It's
a good idea to to gather in' w hat comes your
way. Allttloklss now and then Is relished
by the liost of men nnd women. Miss Knutr
maii in conclusioiioplnesthat"theklssl9tobe
highly commended " t
I met u plucky young Indy the other day in
he person of Miss Elizabeth O. Morrell of
11114 Kuriiam stieut, Omaha. The ,iW
Home Journal not long since offered a freo
scholarship at Vassal to the young lady so
curing the largest number of subscriptions,
paid In ndvanccj beforo January 1. Miss
Morrell wants to go to Vnssnr and this sum
mer sho has cuuvassed Omahii, Lincoln and
many of tho smaller towns in the state, se
curing in all thus far nearly 000 names. Sho
Intends to win and is trying for a thousand.
From what can lie leurued sho is ahead of all
competitors. Miss Morrell is now teaching
school and soliciting after hours. Not many
girls would buy an education ut this price.
People are often curious to know how much
It costs to winter tho average, society young
man. A couple of Pleasant Hour members
were discussing this question a few days slnco
In my hearing and they ciinie to the conclus
ion that tho ex'wnsos incident to a winter's
paiticipatlou In the festivities of the Pleasant
Hours costs in tho ueighhoi hood of gl'JTi.OO.
Adding n reasonable amount for the club's
summer outings, uud making allow unco for
theatres, other entertainments, etc., It Is
pobablo that the young man who maintains
hisplaco In the (Lincoln) swim, spends for
social pleasure not much let than f.WO per
annum. If you daiico in the Four Hundred
you have to pay the tiddler. Of course u
good many fellows slip through on less than
this; but the high-dyers do not get otr much
below the flguro named.
Dunlop'a cable brought over an interesting
account of u duel between two Parisian lad
les tlio other day. It was not expressly
stated but I infer that tills latest eruption of
the gny republic's most picturesque ruling
passion among the feminine sex, is only n de
velopment of tho recent revival of the fusli
ion to make women as near like men as possi
ble. And what could moro closely ressmble
a duelling Frenchman than a du lllng French
woman) These two ladies lavished their af
fections on tho same man, which of course,
soon resulted in an exclmngo of unpleasant
ness, preeeedlng the warlike and manlike en
counter. Unfortunately tho gendarmes
spoiled the fun buforo either contestant was
killed. Considerable damage was done to
the bustles and back liair, however
Tho Liverpool l'oil lutoly contained the fol
lowing "personal": "Will tho lady wearing
spectacles who, on Thursday evening, drove
u dark pony and four-wheeled phaeton, with
groom behind, alone Halewood road, ami in
jured n valuable Buddie-horse by not taking
her sldo of tho road, kindly get u better pair
of glosses and take driving lessons beforo sho
ventures out uguinl"
Even drink cannot drown the manly qual
ities of n true gentleman. There may be a
dllfeieuce lietween Phillip drunk and Phillip
sober; but If Phillip Is u gentleman his gen
tlemanly hibtiuctH lire manifest even In
Intoxication. While standing on one too In a
state fair train yesterday, I observed u man,
hopelessly Inebriated, offer his seat to a poor
ly clad woman. The other half of the seat
was occupied by twin "dressed like ii gen
tlman." Ho was perfectly kober. The aisle
wnsfullof ladles standing; but he retained
his teat. As I watched tho frnnllc.efforts of
tho foi mer to keep on his feet I was reminded
of an Incident recorded in the newpuers
some yenrs ago, it was In a crowded horse
car. A woefully intoxicated Individual roso
fn
i1 '
to oiler his sent to a lady, when another man
who was sober, slipped into tho vacant place,
leaving the Indy standing. "Su-n-y you
fellow j on'' said tho boozy but chivalrous
unfortunate, as lie swayed toiiud fto hanging
to a stni p. "I I'm drunk, I know, but I-I'll
getovei It, 1 will; but you you'io a hog,
and yo , ,1 never get over it in In this world
no, sir, never."
V
For tho hcncllt of our young people who
tiro xrKttiiilly "going somow here," 1 call
attention to the pretty idea introduced by
Miss Suo ColxtzHi-, of Omaha, one evening
Inst week. The young lady wns to leave for
her school in the east In a few days, ami in
stead of giving tho conventional "farewell"
pai ty, sho invito 1 her friends to a "fotget
me-nol" party To bo sure cards were tho
chief amusement of the evening, but the "for-get-ine-not"
Idea was kept prominently lie
foi u the guests. Umall cards on which wore
painted a miniature likeness of the hostess,
surrounded with a garland of tho (towers
were presented to each member of the com
pany. Tho ladles of Ashvllle, North Carolina, met
this week and organized a society for mutual
protection against the encroachment of the
scrvnntgirl. It is the intention to push the
association in all parts of the state. Hut it
will do no good. Tho set viiut girl from her
iedestnl In tho kitchen, rules tho house, and
no association of employers can curtail her
"rights." Association or no association she
will continue to have live nights out a week,
to receive her "cousins" on tlio front steps and
entertain them from the household larder,
and boss things generally. There nro two
things human agency cannot control the
weather unit the servant girl.
Wo now expect an essay on life or denth
every time Robert U. Ingersoll or Senator
Ingnlls Is called upon to deliver n eulogy upon
ii departed friend or colleague. Tho wordy
congressman from Kausop, rendered tribute
to tho memory of tho late Henator Heck of
Kentucky, the other day, and us usual lie de
voted most of his oration to n discussion of
tho m story of life nnd denth. The Senator
Peck part of it wus dismissed in u few words.
In conclusion ho said: "There Is an intelli
gence so vast and enduring that the (laming
Interval between tho birth and denth of uni
verses is no more than the flash of lire-then
above the meadows of summer: u colossal
power by which tlieso stuendous orbs are
j launched in the abyss, like bubbles blown by
I a child in tho morning sun, and whoso senso
of Justice and reason cannot bo less potential
.than thoso immutable statutes that aio tho
I law of Wing to the creatures Ho Iiiih made,
I uud which compel them to declare that if the
only object of cieation is destruction, if lu-
lluity is the theatre of an uninterrupted ser
ies of Irreparable calamities, if the Html
cause of, life is denth, then tliim is an inex
plicable tragedy, and eternity an illogical and
indefensible catastrophe." This is n fair sam
ple of the eulogistic tirades of these two
worthy gentlemen. The meaning of the
jingling muss is very obscure. Senator
Heck, who was doubtless at that time inn
place of high understanding, was probably
the only h.tsoii who knew what the long
winded Knnsau was "driving ut."
Sir Lionel Suckvlllo West is uu English
man. Ho first rose from obscurity when us
British minister during Cluveluud s adminis
tration, ho paved tho wuy for his recall by
interfering with the political uffuin: of the
United States in tho notorious Murchlson
letter. Ho evidently prefers notoriety to ob
scurity ; for ho now emerges a second time
from a somewhat lengthy jteiiod of innocu
ous desuetude, in u fashion oven more pictur
esque than tho til st. You all remember that
Ueoige W.Childs, the milllonaiie owner of
the Philadelphia Ledger sometime ago pre
sented the town of Stintford-on-Avon with u
mugiiiflceut fountain uud clock tower as u
memorial of Shuktspcuro. Now it seems this
memoiial was pluccd on ti public market
place, the title to which has been vested in
the family of which Lord Sackvillo is u mem
ber for six hundred years. Suckvlllo is of
course, mad at all Americans, and he selected
Mr. Chllds as u tit person on whom to vent
his spleen. He has uotilled our generous coun
tryman that ho expects rent tor tho ground
occupied by the statue either from tho town
council ot Htiutfonl-on-Avon or Mr. Chllds
himself. Was ti.ero ever nn) thing more pro
'posleiousf I can see the led come to the
cherub cheeks of my old tow nsman as he re
ceives the news. Hu said to an interviewer:
"I am most surprised at the whole proceed
ings, especially in view of the tuct tlmt Lord
De Lit U'nrr, who is the head ot the family,
was one ot the most enthusiastic and active
supporteis of the matter. During the ceie
monies attending the formal presentation of
the gift he even propohed u toast to tho presi
dent or tho United Suites." If the facts are
us leported It may bo tlmt the crown ot glory
which has long been awaiting the meanest
man, will find a lest lug place on the brow of
the ex-Iirltish ministei.

dence ot Ids foi mer strength, some of his
woik eliciting genuine awl enthusiastic ap
plause. "A Colossal Liar" which was pie
sentisl Monday night was perhaps the U'st In
the Dillon rccrtory. This play so-called is
nothing but n string of lies, awl the audience
is not couqielleil to follow ltiboilously the
"thread" of the story. The comedian hasalu
this piece exceptional opKiituultii's for the
display of his art and he makes the most of
tlieni. He is not u Jelferson ; but ha has a
good deal i f real comedy In him, uud it came
out in "A Colossal Liar." Dillon's mellow
voice Is one of Ills chief charms. Ills support

of "Wanted tho Earth" awl "Htnto's Attor

"U. 8. MAIL" MONDAY.
Through u seclnl arrangement "U. S.
Mull'1 tho latest farce-comedy success will lie
presented nt Fuuke's Monday night. One of
the proprietors of this money-making play is
Hobtirt Brooks, a Washington ncwspii)crcor
lcspondrnt who is married to Mrs. President
Harrison's niece. The White Houso family,
tho stoiy goes, were much displeased at Mr
Ilrooks' "descent" Into the thent ileal business
'this displeasure was much intensified by the
fnct that ono of the characters in tlio piece,
John Moneymaker is n laughable tuke-oir on
Postmaster Ueuernl Wauamaker. It is said
that tho Ilrooks' wero forbidden to enter the
president's luuse; but this Is tnkcu cum yninii
Hiilii, for the two families have always liecn
on tho most Intimate terms. All Interesting
feature of the Incident is duo to the fact that
"liuby Hrooks," tlio little daughter of Mr.
nnd .Mrs. Ilrooks Is a great playmate of
"Huby McKee," the wonderful child whoso
doings have furnished Immeasurable material
for Washington gossip writers. "U. 8. Mall"
is put on by ti strong coupipy and Its pro
duction will be one of the features of the Lin
coin season.

welcome 1 by n large audience on this occas
ion. His ierfonnance wns one of the most
finished pieces of acting ever soju In this city
nnd nil who had tho pleasuio of being present
during tho play's ilrst presentation in this
city, spoke In terms of praise, not only of Mr.
Muntell und his piny, but his supporting com
pany ns well nnd tho rich dresses worn by tho
artists also caused much favorable comment.
"Monbars" Is nil ndmliublo play; its dialogue
is interesting; its stcry u true ono, its situ
tlons are easy awl nntuial nwl Its climaxes
moving nnd powerful. As a play It is well
worth seeing, nwl Mr. Mnntell will always
keep it in Ills reportory. The company play
