Kooentrlo Mrw. Hlncit. New York World : Mrs. W. P. Hlack , the wife of the Chicago lawyer who is trying to save the condemned anarchists , is a remarkable woman. She has been prominent in a social and even political way in Chicago for many years. No woman i.s bettor known there. She is a llttlo under the medium height , rather in clined to be stout , and wears her hair in short , wavy ringlets. She wears glasses , behind which her eyes beam with benevo lence and consiimate good nature. She dresses in total disregard of the prevail ing ideas of the modistes. She has a cheery , ringing laugh , No woman knows the condemned men so well as she , ainlthoy have no greater friend and advocate , not excepting the captain him self. It Is said that she is writing a his tory of the men of the efforts for the amelioration of the condition of the working classes , of their trial and con viction , and of their wives , sweethearts and babies. Upon this point Mr ; . ItlacK is reticent. She has bail considerable literary experience , however , and is de cidedly eccentric. During the whole of the trial .she sat immediately behind her husband , making notes and offering suggestions , to which the eloquent advocates paid listening def erence. Captain Hlack never appeared in court or .visited the Cook county jail without his wife. She is as well known a figure in the Chicago criminal court building and upon the streets as George Francis Train is in Madison square. Shu is a sprightly and intelligent talker and enthusiastic about any lawsuits in which IMT husband may be concerned. It is as- scried in Chicago that Captain Black was never seen upon the street nor at any consultation or public gathering unac companied by bis wife. A World reporter found Mrs. Black at the Hotel Dam. She said : "In the eighteen years that Captain lilaok and 1 have boon married I have been bis daily and hourly companion in business and in social events. During thai period I have only been separated from him three nights , and that was when I was visiting liis brother , ( Jcncral lilaok , of the Pension bureau. Ho has never made a speech , plci'.dcd a cause or tried a case but 1 have been witb him. " "Newspaper paragraphs have credited von with being a dog-fancier. How is that ? " "Bless you , yes , of course 1 am ; but now I have only .seven dogs all the law allows me. Wo live , thirteen miles from Chicago , at Park Hidgc. There are a front many very po'or women there , and bred twenty-four St. Bernard dogs nnd trained then ; to work a treadmill attachment which' 1 invented to apply to Rowing machines. 1 induced these poor women to buy sowing Miacliines , then I loaned them tiio dogs and treadmills for motive power. At last for I kept on breeding them 1 had forty-eight Alpine dogs , such as no American ever pos sessed. An insurance company offered mo $1,000 for my pet St. Bernard , 'Topa/ . ' but 1 do not need the money , nnd refused to sell him. The kennels for these forty-eight dogs cost the cap tain $1,000 , but ho was just as fond of the animals as I was. "Well. State's Attorney Orinncll and Police Inspector Bonfiold wore angry with mi ! on account ot my friendliness to the condemned men , and they induced the village trustees of Park Hidgo to pass a law by winch no one person could own over seven dogs. The penalty was n line of 200 and six months' imprison ment. * The captain .says the law is un constitutional , but before we could test this some time must elapse , and in thu meantime either the dogs must be killed or I must sutler the ponajty. " 1 was a great friend of Teresa Stnrlala , the girl who shot her lover , Charley Stiles , a few years ago. The whole world was down on her and took her in hand. After she served her term in the penitentiary I put her on the right road. She is witn wealthy relatives hero in New York and has eighteen pupils. W e correspond rcgnlarly.and t am going to .see her. Well , because 1 took her up there was a grout fuss made in Chicago and all kinds of things were said. Now , ttui whole tbing has been rehashed by the ollleials because I am working in the in terests of the condenincihncn. Torea i.s now about twenty-live , delicate and lovely as a piece of statuary. 1 sat with her through her trial. She was not naturally bad , as the result of her reformation mation shows. Because of my kindness to her , the Owl club , of Chicago , vowed vengeance , and actually sent to my home the notorious Cora Munn , Pink"orton's datcctlve , and asked if , as 1 was in the adopting linn and had adopted Teresa , I didn't want to adopt Cora. " Hluli Girls on Dakota Tribune : "Ob , yes. 1 was a cowboy for your years , " said Mr. A. B. Thomas , son of Paymaster Thomas of the Detroit , ( irand Haven tte Milwaukee railroad - road , "I went out there to look around , 1 was just eighteen and had a great fancy for western frontier life. When I reached northwcstoi n Kansas , between the Solo mon and Republican rivers , I happened lo get on the trail of a herd of stock , and was Invited to join the herders. I did so and for three or four days was the sorest Youngster that ever straddled a horse. You ECU , they just live in the saddle , , iud 1 was a tenderfoot , or a pork and bean. ' pilgrim , as they called eastern bovs. Bui 1 soon learned to handle a revolver like the rest of them. Everybody carries i\ \ revolver. Ono needs it to defend hinisell from the wild stock and also to defoni ! the stock from wolves. Any wolves' ' Well. 1 should say so- both the big graj wolf and the coyotes , which arc prairh wolvos. small but sneaky. "It isn't always the pleasantest thin ; to take n hand in with a wolf. The lirs time , 1 own 'up , I was a little scared. I happened this way I was wlh ( a Cleveland land girl by the way , the nerviest girl 1 over saw. Shu had been spending sonu tittle , time at thvranch arid Had learnct to nso a revolver. ' Wo wore on the ' pralriu when wo saw two. , big gray ; rtandlnjr in the 'trail. Quick as chau iglitnlngsho drew her rovolvor..from hot bell and fired. The Ball struck Mr. Wolf In tlte headkilling him Instantly. She waa not the least bit frightened , but looked at it in the coolest way. and said In the most matter-of-fact voice possible , 'Well , that was a irood shot , wasn't ItV Wo got off our horses , skinned the animal , and took the hide homo for a trophy. She has it now , I presume. What became of the otherv Oh , 1 killed him , but 1 emptied several barrels and riddled the skin so it was good for nothing. "I also saw this lady in a roundup. What's tlh-.P Well , It's when all the herders or cowboys got together and work up to a common center , fencing in all the wild animals running Ioo c within a certain radius. After they are all In perhaps ! JO or10 grays , 78 or 100 coyotes then the fun commences , ruling to the center , firing and killing the animals. The round tips bring In all the boys from all sections around , somewhere from ! ! 00 to 100 , and von may believe there is some lively lir- ing. Well , as 1 said , this young lady and a friend of hers joined in one of these roundups. They worn the only ladies in the run , and were in charge of the boys of our ranch. No nrt > ro respect could be .shown to them if they had been qucctu. Every cowboy felt they were especially in his care , and they were watched and yet allowed to shoot to their heart's con tent , and they did shoot in great shape. One came out witli seven gray wolf scalps and six coyotes , and the ether four gray anil ten coyotes and a polecat. There i.s a bounty on wolf scalps Wo for coyotes and ? fie or $1 for grays so the girls ilid pretty well. "Who were the girls ? Well , I wouldn't like to give their names. They aru daughters of wealthy Cleveland gentle- iiient , prominent merchants , and they might object. You .see people of the north know little of the cowboys ofKan sas. They think they are a lot of low lived fellow * , always ready to shoot and scalp somebody , whereas they are a con- tlenianly class of boys. Many of them are just from college. They study them selves ill. and go west to recuperate for health. They get it , too , for they live in the saddle , become expert shots , and unter with a xeat into all outdoor pursuits that one here cannot understand. I hone to go back this fall , .see the boys and go over the old stamping ground. 1 only came back , as the boys say , to take a slice of high life. " She Pronounced thn lictler. The director of a large girls' school in French Canada , which is patronized by many Anieiicau families , tells a story of a pert New Kngland girl with whom the instructors had any amount of diffi culty , quite naturally , in getting her to sound the letter r. When a letter has been unnronounced for generations , it comes hard to the young. This Now ' Ki'glaml girl had been' labored with so long a time over the sound of the r in French words that she came to regard the instruction in thi.s particular as a great bore , and when the director him self took her in hand one day , and said : "Now , see here , Mies , I want you to pronounce the r for me , " she put on a look of unutterable weariness. "Now , please pronounce for mo an Knglish wont , " he persisted , "that begins with an r , and be sure that vou sound thu let ter. " "H-r-r-i-r-rats ! ' exclaimed the girl with a snap in her eyes. lOvploits of a Western Girl. Overland Sketches : A pleasing story of a boautitul and accomplished young lady at St. Vincent.Minn. , is told by a special dispatch , and it comes to us HKO u cool fountain in a prohibition state. It seems that the lady's name is Miss Lillian Blake , daughter of H. D. Blake , and that , in the words of the dispatch , "after helping her father stack litli loads of wheat yesterday" she wont over into ( icroux's swamp alone in the afternoon to snatch a half hour of rest and recrea tion. She took her father' * shotgun with her , and. as the special had it , ' 'killed six largo and desperate swamp bears. " The bears didn't want to light , but dum 'em , they had to. The first one tried to crawl into a hollow log and dodge the issue , but the airy , fairy Lil lian grabbed liim by the hind leg and just about the same as pulled the limb oil' the critter. Then he changed liis mind backed out and bowed his head to the shock , It was a red day for b'ar. Especially in ( icroux's swamp. On that awful day , throughout the length and breadth ot Colonel Oerou.x's cool and popular swamp , nothing could be hoard but the deep , agonising groans of dead and dying bears. And they do say. sort of privately and some as if they didn't expect us to be lieve it , that on the way home , while dragging the carcasses of the whole Cicroux's swamp bear family , this timid and modest little Minnesota girl ran down two gray wolves and chased a party of six tramps along the railroad track for three miles. Still some Minnesota seta editors will sit around and write about the decadence of "Our Girls and Young Women. " But if these editors will just stop long enough to put their cars to thu ground they will discover that the rest of the country isn't saying a word about tne decadence of the Minnesota liar. Not a whisper. Krcontriis Middin Morcnii. Miss Middio Morgan , the live stock re porter of the New 1'ork Times and Herald , is a familiar tigiiro in Printing House square , where her height , her thinness , and the apparent eccentricity of her dress never fail to attract atten tion. The > c who know her apart from her business speaK of her as brilliant , charming and feminine to a degree , and in nor vocation the most difficult in many particulars for a woman to under take she exacts admiration as well as respect. Miss Morcan has been building a house on Staten island for the last live years , and it is still unfinished. Nothing could be more eccentric than this brick .structure. Tlmro arc iron bars first story windows , and the largest room in the house is given over to a plunge bath. If the place i.s ever finished Miss Morgan expects to live there witli her sister Jane , who is an artist. \Vlio Hot. New York llurald : One of the most bewitching ot the Herald's reporters started out yesterday to interview the "girls" on racing , race tracks , race horses and their theories Ithereon. llo found that ono of the best known of the fair track frequenters said she was not a backer of horses , but always pliMikcd down her chips on fiarrispn and McLanghlin. Shu made something in the year , but not much. "f choose a gray horse , and if I can't get that a bay , " said a youthful niaulon , with a glory of rich auburn hair. The next was a pretty hltlo light opera chorister , who saves up her money and goes to the track to spend it. "I sine ) ) on a . tale crumb of bread , " she remarked , "and then I dream , and [ generally dream winners. " "And if you don't dream a winner , How then * " "Oh , then I ju.st get my race card ami shut mv eyes and take a pin and run throuiili the card , and then i back the horse nearest where the pin runs through , Hut tliat'b not so lucky as dreaming. " Yet another set there are of belting women. These are of the well-known class who take tips from touts and liaiifj on the skirts of newspaper men ami jpckoy.s tor information. Some of those are women who would scorn to demean thein , elves to ally ono outside of tin track , but when within that magic cir cle will grovel and cringe to obtain "u tip. " Take all thesis classes of women am ! come to the practical point. " . Do they win If Not a cent , . Of course' they make n Hltlo once In a while , but In the main they lose steadily right along. "And yet , " said one of the linest sport- IIIB men in this city n few days ago , "although they go away dead broke , the next day they return ngaln with plenty of money to keep up the game. " How much do they hot * Almost any thing $1 ( when they combine ) to ? 1)0. ( ) Sometimes they embark on a mutual , but rarely. \ \ omen prefer the book maker. They like to know the odds , and conlder taking them the easiest way of playing. 1 ho real betting woman turns up her nose at her sister who bets a pair of gloves , although a twelve-button clause may have been inserted in the bet. When women lir.st took regularly to attending the race tracks the most ex citing scenes would result. They w ro wont to rise in their seats , and , in shrill and piercing tones , summon their fancy horse on to win. But they have become acclimatl/.ed now , and many of them watch the race coolly and carutully from beginning to end , noting each change in the position of the horses. The Austrian Girl. "The Australian girl , " says a traveler , "i.s tall and slender. She lacks some what in complexion , but generally she is pretty. The Victorian girl is decidedly good looking. The Now Zealand girl has a far better completion than the Austral ian girl , and is fresher nnd more healthy , nrhaps : , because the climate is milder. Shu resembles tbo Knglisn girl much more than docs the Australian , and her development keeps pace with the former. But Tasmania is said to bo the homo ot beauty , and it certainly seems to have more than its .share of fair maidens. It js not at all uncommon for the Molbourn- inn to ran across the little island for the purpose of onioyiii" a well-earned holi day and 'picking up a wife. " How Women Should Keiiit. Philadelphia Press A woman who wishes to bo cultivated will _ always have a systematic course of reading on hand , which she will follow in its different bear ings , and she will ho careful not to waste her time with second-rate or in ferior books. She will also have many interests and an open mind , and any knowledge she can gather will be a sim- ilated and stored tor future use. Cul tured women "aro more than usually prone to take pleasure in the beauty and order ot their houses , and to lo\c llowors and animals , and everything which the typical Hve should bring about her to 'dress and keep' the garden of home. " In conversation her influence is always elevating , and as it rarely occurs to her to discuss her neighbors her mind being tilled with moro interesting topics -she is far removed from all the wretched scan' dal that little minds delight in. She will ppsscs , too , the power of being an interested and intelligent listener. To cease when she ha < * no more to saj' is one thing tlio cultivated woman will have learnt , and a true tstimato of her powers will keep her from expressing an opinion on subjects with which sue is inadequately ac quainted. She will bo free , too , from that dogmatic narrow-mindedness which is the inheritance of tlio ignorant , and will have acquired the blessed wisdom of holding her judgment in suspension on subjects on which our finite minds can never know the whole. By the wide range of her ideas she will be delivered from prejudice and intolerance , and will respect , the opinions of others , however much they may differ from her own. Then , again , culture brings a woman "into touch" with a far larger number of her fellow beinirs , and therefore greatly increases her power of usefulness ; for , though an uncultured woman may do valuable work in the world , yet she can have little inlluonce over those in her own position , except in so far as he in trinsic goodness inlluenccs. Tlio Woman Wooed a floru. Whenever a woman begins to woo she becomes a bore. Slic is out of her place , and therefore a sort of annoyance to those who are in place. Her intended victim is not the only one she bores , be cause she must toll all her friend * what she is doing and exhibit her lamb on every possible occasion. To mv mind a woman exhibiting a young man whom she is wooing , with some prospect of success , is a far more painful sight to beheld - hold than the exhibition of the lirst baby. Her manner , as she leads him around in society. s'iys in language plainer than words : "This is my poodle ; I caught him all myself ; isn't ho nice ? and wouldn't you like to have oneV" Pretty Irish Girls. N. Y World : The Irish girls , as a class have line , straight , willowy ligures , regular features and intensely fair com plexions. These fair , delicate complex ions however , break early , so that the old ladies of Ireland are quite as ugly and plain as those of England. 1 was a splendid looking crowd. They appeared very much like English people in their quiet ways and manner of tact enjoyment of the jumping of the horses , but they spoke much uettcr Engjlsh than their Knglish cousins , and where any brogue was heard it was so slight as lo add piquancy to the manner of speaking. Girls Who Correspond. What follows , from Harper's Ba/.ar , is for the beuelit of girls who are predis posed to gush- A habit with our thoughtless young ladies who do a great many things quietly which they would not like to have known of at home a habit deserving of the strongest condemnation is that of pro miscuous correspondence with gentle men , whether the gentleman bo married or single. The young ladies who Mud pleasure in this iiabit use their pens on any pretext that turns up , and some times on no pretext at all. Wo are not really sure that this does iwt como lo < s under the head of an undesirable habit than a MII ; for there is an indelicacy about it which quito amounts to inimo < iesty , of which no girl who respects hoi'solf or who desires the respect of others will b guilty. These young letter writers , however , generally get a lit reward for their thoughtlessness or their culpability. II their correspondent i.s a man of system atic habits their letters are docketed and ticketed , and his clerks have as much ol a laugh over them as they wishand ; if lit is not a systematic man then those letter.- are at the mercy of any ana every one who chooses to waste titnu in mailing them. If their correspondent is a mar ried man then his possession of their letters < tors , oven of the most trivial Kind , place : the writers tit a disadvantage. Sooner 01 later thu letters fall into the hands of his wife , who reads the folly or the wicked ness with clear eyes and holds the wntci not only in her contempt but in liei power. No young girl can bo sure thai her correspondent is not merely amusing himself with her , and it is often the casi that her letters are unwelcome and t nuisance , and he docs not check them , and does reply to them , not from inter estin her , but merely manly chivalry. When the writer has recovered fron her tolly or forgotten about her Idlones : there Is the letter , readi to rise , like at awful betraying ghost , after she horse ] has undergone a chance , that will maki her face burn , branded with shame should the letter over chance to confron her , or perhaps oven the memory of it Her motive may have been .ill innocen at the time , but it is left forever undoi doubt ; and , in fact , except in the boldes business affair thcce can bo no oxcu = o and therefore no innocence , in the matte' of a young girl's ' writing letters to an : man not her personal relative or guar dian ; for about most of ( hcso letter there is an unmaldonlinc ? * alnuis to indfcency , nd In the un.il her corres pondenl hiinsolf novijr thinks other than light of her on account of them. Why Women Go On Tim StnRC. . Lippincott's MagaV.Ino : People say , "How can a well brought tip woman so far forget herself as to go on the .stage ? " I do not propo e here to defend the slage though it him been as good a friend to me but I will endeavor to prove by a logical .sequence of events , that for " a"woman who ha $ to earn her own living , and has any talent for It , It Is the only profession that oilers anything like ade quate remuneration. No other profession is so well paid. Kven in the lowest ranks of stage work the pav is stillicietit to live on comforta bly and allow a margin for dress and saving. A chorus .singer will earn ? ir > a week , where a governess will earn barely * 1 and a shop girl ! ? ( ! or $8. In Knglnnd n man would rather itic than go to a storo. It Is not genteel. She cannot be a telegraph clerk , for the same reason. The only genteel things she can do is to teach or be a companion , nnd a woman who has no taste for either of these delctablo occupations turns to the stage as to a mother , and finds there the ready employment she can get no where else. On the stage she lias the hop-of get ting on and making a fortune , and above all she linils herself among people who are willing to receive her with open arms if she is pleasant. Here are no restrict ions of purse or caste. All are her broth ers and .sister ? , and il lies with her and her alone whethtir her new family shall respect and lookup to her , or pass her down sadly to those poor silly ones who have missed the nobility of their aim and sacriliced all for a short life of toolish merriment. No wonder .hat poor girls of the better classes go on the stage , when they see how much is to be done there , and then regard dispassionately the few other modes of earning a livelihood. Mrs. Woodworth anil Her Miracles. Decatnr ( III. ) Correspondence Chicago Tribune. Mrs. Maria \Voodvvorth , the "trance evangelist" who performs miracles anil has created such a sensa tion in Indiana and southern Illinois , has been in this city since Monday last , and closes her six days' work here with a re cord of about thirty-live rr.iraeles per formed and about one hundred .souls saved. In the midst of such excitement as we have here the st'iricb of Mrs. Woodvyorth's work are apt to grow by repetition , people unconsciously exag gerating the reports of her wondrous cures , so that there is some little dilli- culty in getting the ovact facts. Mrs. \ \ oodworth makes the blind to see , the deaf lo hear , the lame to walk , the dis eased to bo made whole , and the sciatic and rheumatic to jump for joy and glorify the Lord. She has cured cancer , heart disease , brain trouble , cnilepsy , consumption , catarrh , eiHieura , ingrowing toenails , spinal dis ease , neuralgia , paralysis , boijs , and a host of other diseases that llcsh is heir to. Hut ono cannot believe all that is told of her. 1'or instance , there is a little boy hero who lost s6me of his toes by a freight train , and it was reported that Mrs. Woodworth had touched the stumps and new toes rprontcd out. Mrs. Woodworth was asked about this ca o to-day and frankly acknowledged that it wasn't true. She said it was the invention of a local reporter who is jios.sessod of Satan. The sensation she ha's created and is creating is without parallel. She has been in the evansreh/ing business for the last six years.but until n comparative recent date most of her work was done in the viemity of her native homo in Ohio. Then she -traveil over into southern Indiana , and now she is in Illinois. She numbers her miracles by the hun dred and her conversions by the thou sand. She clnims. in brief , to have been especially called by Jesus Christ to go out and heal the sick and preach the gospel as did the apostles of old She has frequent visions , or trances , during which siio talks with the Saviour and taste * of the joys of heaven ; .she is also sometimes given glimpses ot-the horrors of hell in order to spur hor'on to harder work 'in saving souls therefrom. She claims to be endowed with apostlic lire , or inspiration , the same as that given the apostles on the day of I'entecost , when the Holy Spirit descended on them and they spoke with divers tonirues. There is little doubt that Mrs. Wood- worth is the coming evangelist. Mr. Moody is getting .somewhat passe as an evangelist if one may use such a term at least , he neeiis rest. Sam" .lones has had his day ; he needs rest also. So do the people he has preached to. Harrison.tho boy preacher , is now getting along to ward .sixty , and it is all right to give him a rest. Mrs. Woodworth has the elo quence of Sam Jones without his coarse- noj-s ; she has the carnestncs of Harrison with something more added ; moreover she is able to oerform miracles , which is moro than the others could do. Sam Jones claimed to have performed a mira cle when ho lilted the Casino rink chock full of people every night , and thee who know Mr. Jones best are readiest to ac knowledge his claim. Hut that isn't the sort of miracles Mrs. Woodworth per forms. Her.s are orthodox miracles of the bible pattern. So far as the meagre records in the ease go it would seen ) that she has already performed more miracles than all the apostles combined.

She tells the catch of the season , for whom all tlio girls tire angling , that she thinks no existence on earth so desirable , as the life of a bachelor. Shi ! .says the most prolitloss of all journeys is the ono which loads ti ( rentleman into the .state of matrimony ; and while a woman is only sure of ten or liftoen years of social imptilarity , an agreeable 'man i.s always fascinating. She dilates on the charms of the ladies ho admires , and loaves him piqued with her willingness to .see him remain single or cantured by another. He determines to interest her , and ends by loving her as she knew lie would. \Voman is considered the more trusting of the SO.NOS , yet 1 believe man is far mori ) liable to be deceived by a few sweet words. It is not from any excess of vanity on his part , but the natural result of liis education. Man is taught to think of woman as a husband-hunter. From the cradle to the altar ( or the grave ) ho .supposes her ono ambition is lo marry. ConM' < | iiontlv , she need only smile , greet him cordially , Hatter adroitly , and he be lieves she has serious intentions. On the ether hand , women are taucrht to distrust men , and to place no faith in their .sweet speeches. While there is not a woman living who does not enjoy a delicately expressed compliment from the other sov ( if there is , 1 do not want to see her ) , 1 have known very few girls who wens quick to believe' man in earnest until ho declared himself so. Only this past summer I acted as chap- eronc pro tern , tor a lovely girl who was thrown much in the. society of a thor oughbred male llirt. She was only twenty , and full of sentiment. Ho was handsome and fascinating. There were all the accessories of sumnuir moonlight , the ocean beach , swingintr hammocks , and leafy walks and drives , and tint dreamy strains of "La ( Jttana" and the cosy pia//.a nooks. She repeated to mo witn all the relish of youth for well-pro- pared "tally , " his stvcct and pretty speeches. Hut she did not lese her heart or her head. She thoroughly enjoyed the experience , however. I saw another young lady who did not enjoy herself ono ovoninc , hho came upon the veranda with a joung gentleman escort. They promo- natcd a few moments , and then ho said "Shall we sit down , and huvo von a choice of location ? ' She said it made no diflbrenoo , but I saw hur eyes wander toward two unoccupied chairs placed at some little distance from the detached groups of pia/.za-loungurs Hut what do you suppose that dull fellow did ? He brought those chairs up under the bla/e of the electric lights , close to a circle of chatting young people , and she sat down among them looking utterly dNgusted. him was young , pretty and romantic. It was a noon-washcd : midsummer even ing. She would have liked him to Mig- get the secluded corner to object to be overruled , until she was obliged to say , "liimlly , we must join our friends , " and she would ha > 'e liked him to consent very reluctantly. No woman exist' , however sensible , however , spiritual , however , intellcotual , who does not in her .suen-t soul nnjov tne defer'ntial and delicately proffered at tention of an agreeable gentleman. It she does not , "him is neither man nor woman. .Sliti is neltliei beast not human , ' JShu's a uhoiil.1' W -lister dolines Ilirtation as "pliuing at courtship. ' ' There is a coni > c-librcd being hidden in the mask of beauty who is sometimes denominated a llirt. Sno "plays at courtship. " always with a moneyed lover , meruly to obtain linan- cial favors and expensive gifts. After which she quarrels with the gift-giver and seeks now liclds. jslm prefers free dom and independence of action to mar riage and until she is thirty her life Is a succession of intrigues. After that it be comes a .supreme etl'ort to made a good marriage and to become the associate of rc.spcetablo pconle. She not ( infrequently dovelopcs a taste for HIP arts , and dabbles in litera ture or music or painting , conscious that the doors of genius are not so strongly l.arred against a woman without creden tials as the doors of society propor. Hut this unfortunate specimen of the llirt vulgaris is moro properly called an "adventuress. " IHi : MU.K H.IliT who "plays at courtship" is a more relincd and dangerous creature. Ho leaves it to his less -skiltul brother to pay the .samo compliments to each pretty girl ho mci t.s. I le knows the fair sex too well for that. If all his lady loves meet and compare iioU-s they will find that he.has never been gmltv of repeating himself. Hois original and inventive , and suits his compliment to its recipient. To the young and .sympathetic girl ho talks much about "a wasted life , " and says ho "ahould liuvo been a dillcrcnt man had her sweet sympathy come into his lite earlier , but there has Jiover liPiuro been any ono lo stir his bo-it impulses hint now His too laid. " To the religious young Jady wlioycnruJ to reform the world , lie hint ? darkly of a sinful past wlilc.li utauiU hko a nm'iiMng spirit between him and a pnradisu which has jn t dawned upon him. To the heiress he talks vaguely of bar- rlcrs which fate builds between a man's pride and his hope * of happiness. Ho plays upon the emotions of women as upon stringed instruments , and thu tender strains he draws forth to annisu and entertain him. The minor chordi arc music to his oar. , too , but when they become discordant ho drops the Instru ment , for ho docs not like to bo annoyed. Ills standard for women is hluhet litii forever letnpting her to conic dow to thu plains of folly , niul despising her for her weakness if .she yield * .

Ho is like the old heathen godswho required the fresh saerillce of a human life each day to keep them in good humor The married woman llirt is usually the result ol a husband' * thought , less neglect or indiH'erence. A woman craves admiration or * appreciation as naturally as a llower craves the sunlight. It'tho llower does not receive the light through the onen window it will strain toward a crevice in the wall , even it it warps itself out of shape in the effort. If the light comes freely and geiieiously through the window il does not lean to ward the crevice , unless it springs from a deformed root. TIII : MOST m'.i.K.iiiTt i , n.turn.ins- of all is a Ilirtation between husband and . wife. 1 MIW a dear old couple ot M.xty summers coquetting with each other not long ago. He gave her such tender glances , wrapped her shawl about her , hold her hand , and MII led upon her a.s gallantly as if she were a pri/.e yet to bo won. It was really a beautiful sight. I know another charming man a younger one who is < nt full of pictty compliments and quick appreciation and cavalier attentions to his much-admired wile , that she finds the praises of other men like "water after wine. " U hen the professional male Iliit sighs and tells her , "All ids life ho has cherished a dream of an ideal woman only at last to find her jn the possession of another , " she laughs in his face it sounds so spurious coin- pal cd to the ring of true love she finds in her husband's tender expressions. While Ilirtation does not deserve to bn called the spice of life , it is certainly onu of life s spicy condiments. It should bo indulged in sparingly , like all condi ments , 'fhe man or woman who has reached middle life without having par ticipated in a Ilirtation has no doubt missed an interesting experience. Hut I should not advise any tardy effort toward achievement in that line , as in thi.s mat ter the old adage of better late than never does not apply. EI.I.A \ \ mr.u.n : U'n.cov.
