THE THIKLKK.
'iOMEHODY hat lieen de
scribing th American
girl ngnln. Thlstlmo it It
n writer in tlic JaihiIoh
Model il Socktu Homo fol
low nrobably who has jut
. iont n couple of weeks
studying" tlili country.
llo says soino nlro things;
lmt thoy nro nlwnyit coup
led with a disagreeable
"If" or "but." For tho
most jmrt ho is, however,
fnr from complimentary.
Thu Aliieilcnn nlrl cannot
liu IllllIlHtl if sllO VOteH lit tit
'too mean for niiythlng."
When ho nsserts without reservation tlmt
"tho American gli 1 does not know tlio inclin
ing of tho woni 'clmiioroiio'" ho betrays nil
ignorance of Atnorlcnii soclnl customs that Is
v holly Inexcusable. Truo.sho In rot educated
tobcliovo tisnmher European sisters, tint
men nro mostly lioasts, and when alio llmls
herself nlono in the company of n gentleman
she la not taken with thocold chills nr hys
terics; but she knows tho roor relations of
tho sexes, and bIio has n very clearly ilellned
Idea of a chaperono and her duties.
V
"Outside of tho big tow in," ho continues,
"such a thing as class distinction scarcely .ex
ists Tho daughter of u Judgu lias been lo
school with tlio young man nt tho dry goods
storo, has Jested with him ovor tho counter
hud may niiiry him tomorrow If she pleuscs.
Honiuy bo n millionaire before ninny years
are over, and his wlfo may lead society In
New York." Nobody can take serious ob
jection to this. Kvcn if tlio "young maimt
tho dry'goodsstoio" does not become a mill
ionaire, tho chances nro that ho is fully as
well equipped with soclul and family qualLu
cnttous as tho "daughter of tho judge," and
therolsnogoodrenson why thoy should Jiot
mnrry.
V
1 mil at a loss ta uxpres my iilaiw of a man
wJio referring to tho American girl, can say
that: "tlwre is something liard and practical
about her ut tho Jlrst glanco." Hard and
practical! It must be ilint the writer failed
to sec thu genuine article. Most of us think
that the loveliest and sweetest thing on earth
is tho American girl, ami oven a visit to tho
mother country Jails to shake this conviction.
Then agaiu ho says: "Absence of exercise
combined with hot bread for breakfast mid
"candy ' nil day, lays tho foundation for dys
pepsin and tho 'wnshed out' appearance
which nearly every American woman pre
scuts beforo slui lias touched thli ty. Life n.
high prent.il re has set its murk ujion tho
American faco nud is gradually producing a
new typo which wus unknown until tlio pres
ent century." Unfortunately there is a good
deal of truth In this. While wo wont admit
tho "wnshed out" jrnrt of It, there is no uso
denying tho fact that tho American woman
Millers f i oiu n lack of out door exercise nnd
nil almost total disregard of tho, common
laws of hygiene. She hasn't time to think of
the resultant elTect of this or that, nud she
does many foolish things, In which respect,
perhaps, she does not dlircr greatly trom her
brothers.
"The American girl has no reverence'
another unkind remark. That you do not
often see In her face tho "reveienco and re
ligious ecstacy such us one may catch upon
the face of n Roman Catholic nun'' none will
dispute for American girls are not Roman
Catholic nuns. Hut she Is not partfcuhirily
Irreverent. If her religion does largely run
to sewing societies, and church suppers and
socials, she is none tho less devoted. The
string of young men which Hue the sidewalks
in front of our churches Sabbath evening Is a
convincing proof that she is not irreligious.
I thhjk all CouillKlt readers, eseciully
those who mo fighting their way in tho bat
tle of lifo in iwrtnershlp with the American
girl, will take exception to this last quota
tion: "She will never inako the tender, con
tiding, little wife that tho'agerage English
Edwin looks forward to, who will run for his
slippers, put up w ith his ill-humors and wor
ship him as a hero; but treat her di lion
ivmarade, as a man and a brother, mil you
will find tho Ynnkeo girls 'jolly companions,'
every one." Tlio Implication in tho nbove Is
worse than tho actual expression. Of coursn
wo know nil this is arrant nonsense. As
Frank Zehrung would say, "We deny tho
allegation and defy the nllegator,"
V
III lcoklug about for something In the line
of social novelties, I ran down a "sliamxo
party" tho other day. A young lady who
knew the tiresomeness of modern shampoo
ing and hair-dressing, conceived the idea of
having company at the disagreeable opera
tion. Cards were issued iK'aring.tho legend,
"10:80 to II :'M a. in. 8liaiiioolng." A pro
fessional nalr-dresser was provided, and ap
propriate refreshment weie served. There
is small prospect that this new "fad" will
become popular.
Iluth AtVnoro has tho following to Miy of
tho "girl who wooes" in tho Ladies Home
Journal: "I may as well ho frank at once
. and say I do not like tho maid who does tlio
wooing. She Is usurping the pi ivilegu of her
knight, and if I were ho I should turn and
tlee. "Hut," says Ethlllndu, "ho need en
couragement!" l'erhaps ho docs. Hut not
too much of it. When you want to give an
invalid something to increase his apietlto
you do not offer to eat It for him, instead
you offer a dainty bit, a little spice, or a lit
tle acid that ipjlekens tho taste and makes a
great hpuger come. Treat your sweetheart
in tho same way, Ict him bo conscious that
you lire pleased w Ithdils liking; hut do not for
a minute tuko away his prerogative and do
the wooing. No man has a true uivrtvlation
.u ..,..x.l ltlw.j Iin unklli lif u t)iMtl . (an tu
JR. a M
Jc'IvF)
always a delight to him. Your eye may re- I
tlocthls love, but tlwy need not nmiounro
yours Hist, thereby sending out an invitation.
My dear girl, usk almost any man you know
what his favorite (lower. is, and, after ho has
thought, ho will tell you either tlio violet or
tho rope. One grows surrounded and pro
tected by green leaves, and to get It ierfivt
that is with n stem you havo to reach down
ami pluck It carefully, but Inn determined
wny. Tho other Is guarded by horp thorns,
ami though It stands up In n most dignified
way, it resists, except by It encouraging
sweetness, the one bravo enough to take it
from tho parent tree. You can team a good
lesson In a llower garden, you see tho holly
hocks plant and know that they nro tho for
ward ls-antles of tho world of llowers, you
co the lilies with their liowed heads, and aro
convinced that beauty without faith is of lit
tle worth, you aro an aro of u dnluty ier
ftiine, and know that tho little lady, whoso
ipialltles surpass her charms tho mignonette
- Is near, you can see the mwltlvo ouo iti tlin
gaudy suutlowcr; you can see tho nggresslve
one in the teat let geranium, mid you can
think of them all and conclude this, tho ones
woi th having, sweet of perfume and restful
in color, aro not tho ones tlmt protrude them
selves on your vision, and say, as do some
(lowers and maidens, "Take us."
A taking novelty lately introduced in tho
vast is a "heart" dinner. At one of these
recently given to sixteen yDiitig iieoplo, the
tiiblo was heart sIiiihs! and covered with pink
silk, over which was laid lino white linen
with a heart shaped laco medallion in the cen
ter. Upon tho medallion wus n tlguro of
Cupid in white marble. On either side were
two large hearts of pink roses transllxed with
silver arrows which fastened them to the
table. UK)ii tho dinner cards of pink satin,
uucoiatcti witli nana painted Cupids, were
laid .favors of (llllgrco hearts and fine sliver
chains for tho girls mid beautiful moonstone
hearts, mounted In silver plus for the men.
Doubtless a good many )eople beside my
self have been amused at tho eagerness with
wliich Urother Calhoun of the Herald, and
llrother Jones of tho State. Journal, have
stumbled over each other in their attempts to
disprove! The Couuieh's statement that "art,
litenituro and mania aro much neglected" In
this city. The Couiueii did not say that
they were wholly neglected as Its content
porles seem to infer. Uf .course there are so
cieties and Institutions of various sorts for
artistic, hteiary and musical culture; but tho
fact remains, my literary frientb, Calhoun
raid Jones to the coutrary notwithstanding,
tluit among our oople theso things are
"much neglected." For instance, is It not
surprising that iuucltyof 00,000 oople, there
Is not a leally tlrst class orchestra And
I thcro is not tlmt general interest In art and
i literature which should characterize tlio In
habitants of an educational city like Lincoln.
I In Justice to Messrs. Calhoun and Jones, ho w-
over, It should be said tlmt the wldo ell dilu
tion of their respective Journals has done
much to advance tlio literary taste of our
Ieople. If they could oidy sing and paint,
tlio culture of the city could bo safely left in
their hand.
Elizabeth Btuurt I'lielps' article on decollete
dressing continue to engross public attention'
on botli sides of the Atlantic. Very few
critics have lovluwed favorably the so-called
tirade nud there Is an almost general condem
nation of the views of the "thin-skinned
propagandist." le is probable that u lack of
respect for the writer Is responsible for much
of the adverse comment, for there is certain
ly a growing feeling tlmt the decollete should
go up higher. Hut Elliubuth lias such a
wide leputatlon us a crank that hur infer
ences are seldom taken seriously. A writer on
tho other side, referring to Mrs. Wnid's ef
fusion, Niys: "Some pf us are so unfortun
ately constructed that we must first create
the vices wo want to destroy, and there is
nothing that does so much harm to society as
this blatant crusading by prurient purists
against evils that havescarcely the shadow of
uu existence outside of their own Imagina
tions. Mrs, Waul Is sorry that ladies who go
to thoutics do not avert their glances and
blush when the ballet comes on. Welt there
are some who do so, but they are tho sort of
women who and ask French conun
drums at the dinner tables, and read anony
mous French vice wtween tho covers of
fashion pi bits."
An uwkw ard compliment Is worse than no
compliment ut all. For fustauco when tho
Journal In recording the Ford-Hruckeu wed
ding u few days ago referred to thu groom as
a "well known and (lopulnr young barber of
uteady habits" It spoiled It all. The young
man who wrote the item might hive added
with cpiul appropriateness that the groom
hud never ridden in the huny up wagon.

MUSIC AND THK DIIAMA.
Manager Mcltoynolds gave the patrons o
the Funko n Mirlcd selection this week. Tim
iiiuuii ranged from fuieo comedy to high
tragedy and included legitimato drama.
JCach class had a fair representative and that
Lincoln peoplo appreciate good things wns
evidenced by tho large audiences and tho
merry Jingle of silver dollais In tho box olllco.
Jf "U.S. Mall" was a trills dlsnpolntliig, it
must bo rcmomliortsl that tho Held nt farce
comedy has been most effectually worked In
the Kist few j car, and that a novel comedy
is ouo of tho rarest of all rare things, Tho
satliuou Mr. Wanamnker'spostolllcowas too
broad to bo offoetlvi, hut nt timet the hr-pluy
wns very funny. Hamuel Heed's ioiii .Uiiiic)

Frank David ns Hi Hand wns an iiinpmllflcd

half ilnrcu playful U-autles, some of them
very clever danceis. On tho whole tho fair
ltil audlonco was well pleased with the per
formance, llolicrt Mantel! related Ills last
season's success In "Monburs" Wednesday
evening. "Monlmrs" Is ouo of tho prettiest
dramas on tho stage nud play goers surfeited
with low comedy found In It a pleasant lelief,
A good healthy tone provades the play and
the interest which centers In the striking
stcry of tho "woman who fell In love with her
husband" never lags The heroic pa its mo
thrilling without being Isilsterous, and there
Is n reilueiueut in tho pathetic character of
JUanr, ns portrnyisl by Chin lotto Hrehens
seldom found on tho stage. Miss Hehreiis has
a singular beauty uud gtace and is withal a
charming acinus. Thu company while In
some resiectH not as strong us last, year's
was uniformly good. Wo Iiojh) Mr. Mantell
will present "Tlio Corslcnu Hi others" on his
next visit to Lincoln . Of course Iveenu ill ew
well. He lias long liven popular In this city,
but the reception ho received Thursday 'and
Friday evenings wus unusually warm, for
Lincoln audiences, sonum lmt noted fir
tUiir reserve. Ho has seldom appealed to
better ndvantugo and ho fully merited the ap
probation accorded hint. "Louis XI" is a
comparatively new piny hero and those who
attended tho ojiening night were pel haps cry
agreeably disappointed In a piece with wh ich
they were not escclally familiar. His m.t
souutlon of thu bilious uud unscrupulous old
monarch, tottering on tlio edge of the grave,
but with u kliig-llko dread of Heath, Is to the
mind of ninny, one of his must successful
parts. It isaditllcult rolo. In the nervous
energy which a proor interpretation calls
for it may Ixi likened to Jauailschek's Miy Mw
rllfM or Hooth's SJiylueku. Kecne's presenta
tion Is scholarly and artistic, evincing a tiuo
appreciation of tho character of thepait. Ho
was ably Kuppottcd by (leorgo Icutockus
7nAt tie Xemoun, whoso buisU of eloquence
elicited frequent and hearty applause.
Mlirtr (Miss'L. Klmnnon) was rendered in a
s'uullar!y pleasing and vivacious manner,
and the other leading diameter weie us
usual In the hands of capable uctnrs. "Intls
XI" made u distinct iuipics.slou. Another year
it will draw u larger house. "Iticluird III"
was presented lost night. Tho play us gi en
by Keeno, Is so well known that comment is
superlloiiH. Mr. Keeuo's company tlio pres
ent season Is exceptionally talented. Tliecos
tinning and effects aro also excellent.
Funke's will be oeu two nights only next
week Thursday and Saturday.
rill.NCK A.N-1) I'AUI'KIl.
Tnursday evening, September 2.1th, "Tim
Princo nud I'auper" will bo presented nt
Funko's by Daniel Frohmun's original Now
York coinpnny, under tho jiersonnl dlrectljti
of Al. Uayinan. Tho dramatization of
Mark Twain's popular story as Inter
preted by EUle Leslie, tho celebrated
young nctress, and mi exceptionally
strong company, was one of the leading
events In the theatrical world east, ami tho
play filled one of New York's popular theatres
for months. "The Prince nnd I'auper" was
pronounced by tho Now York Herald "tho
sweetest, rarest and prletttest of all the plays
since 'Little Lord Fouutleroy1." Little Miss
Leslie is the most gifted young actress on the
stage, and her presentation of Iwtli Prince
Kdwatd nnd 7'oin Canty, thu pauer, is her
cleverest woik. Tlio New York Herald says
of Miss Leslie: "Elsie is a 'star' now. Dra
matists writo playB for her. Hho gets cur
tuincalls and has flowers tin own her. Hefore
long we shall bo expecting her to make her
own speeches. Bhe has been interviewed nud
and adulated till it is n marvel her little head
lias not been turned. Hut she has not lost her
nrtlessness, thank Henven. Her baby
shoulders had plenty to bear In 'Fuuntleroy'.
They are tw leu as heavily burdened in Mrs.
K clmi-ilson's piece. In 'The Prince and tho
Pauper' she plays both tlio title parts nud
plays them well, with a nice sensd cf the
difference between the luds, Nothing could
be cleverer than her lioylsh assumptions of
dignity In the tcenes with Miles lleiidou
King Henry himself wns never haughtier than
Elsio as she bids Miles 'wait on me, good fel
low', nud dubs him knight. Quttu as clever
in another way is her .mnuctance us Tom
Canty. Tom handles his sceptre like a toy
and Edwnrd weais his tags as If they were
tho purple." Thisplay will be seen in Lincoln
one night only.
CHINATOWN NEXT SATfllDAV.
Hoyt's new and popular furceconiedy
"Chinatown"' is booked for Funke's next Sat
urday, btrange to say there Is not n Chinas
man in the play, but It is none the less funny'
on that account. It has ranked with "A
Texas Steer" uid "The Midnight Hell" in pop
ular favor and Is one of the !x-st of this class
of attractions. Additional mention next
week.
