Modesty which the erotic Gertrude hnn-
dles somewhat crudely Is a matter of opin
ion and meridian. An Umnha girl will ellen
pet her skirts wet on n. rainy day rather than
c.xbllnt her ankles. Tlio same girl , in Con
stantinople , will uncover her knees In order
to cover her face.
As a rule , men rarely notice and hardly

A story Is coiiiK around about a Yassar col-
Jck'c trlrl' and u witty irishman employed on
thoeollej-o rounds. H wa proposed sonic.
tune URO that a jirizo of a lur o box of bonbons
bens shnnld bo awarded for llio best stanza
of poctrv , of no more than four lines , which
mlL'lit bo written by any of the students.
One pretty clrl with golden hah- and liazol
eyes determined to win the prize. Having
Bupplleil herself with u pocketful ot chowinvr
Kiim , she proceeded to a secluded place on
the grounds , the day being line , nnd sat down
to put her Ideas on paper. She be aa as fol
lows :
I've hair of gold
And a hazel eye.
Hut bovond these two lines lier mind would
lot n'v'e ' her u single idea. Slio piurlcd her
brains for several minutes nnd was about to
plve up in despair , when she espied tlio
Lniiuhoiiie young Irishmaa named 1'iU , wbo
was nsiistant gardener , and , remembering
that t lie sons of the iCuiorali ] Isle nro noted
for their cleverness In language , she called
to him and explained her dilemma. "What
is It vou'vo written ! " asked Put. "Read it
over to mo slowly. " Sno reiul it ever to him.
Pat snatched his hcml and nondercd n mo
ment in thought , when ho exclaimed : "Io !

Stanza :

"I would never have been nn old maid , "
paid n lady of forty , "if 1 bad known ns much
twenty years ago'as 1 know now. When I
wns ut a'lnarriagoable time of life , I beard so
much about unhappy couples that 1 was
nf raid to become n wife. Hut ! Imvo loolted
around I'l later times and have changed my
mind on the subject , l ast year , I tools up a
list of twenty wives of my acquaintance ,
whom I had known before their wedlock , nnd
to wl-om I M'olte ' about their exderieneo in
life. 1 found that fifteen of the twenty were
"happily nun-led , that four of them got along
tolerably well with their husbands , and that
only one of them bewailed her matrimonial
lot' The fifteen happy wives are nmiablo
women , fonu of their children , and helpful
to their husbands. About the unhappy one
of them 1 can only t.ny that she is u grumbler
married to a growler , and would bo unhappy
anyhow , and as to the other four , the fault is
not all oa one side. 1 suspect tliattho twenty
married women I have spoken of are fair
specimens of wives in general , most of whom
Jlad by experience that it is marriage that
make.s life worth living. As I myself am tbo
soul of amiability , ! believe that I would have
made a happy marriage if I had not been

Have sung thee , weak and blind
Not the strong god , whoso passions bold
And lusty rack tbo mind.

Muv bear thy message well ;
Cupid may , haply , ruaeh tbo heart ,
And there love's lesson toll.
Yet tbou alone , in manly form ,
With limbs of gr.ico and strength ,
May rule tlio passion's rising storm
A"nd guido the heart at length.

To the early parly-goers it is u great boon ,
nnd to those who tire going to a lain ball it
lllls la that inconvenient moment or rather ,
three hour * between n family dinner and a
dunce at 11 o'clock. All New York parties
had grown so absurdly lute that those who
did not goto dinners hud nn awkwnrd inter
regnum. To the early birds the drums are
delightful , as the gay fashionable dresses in
all her bravery for tlio ball and mils In tbo

Tbo drum includes a very good supper , so

" \VlioV What ? UlilcliVVhort > ?
When the young dobutautj gets sight of a

Slio scarcely can peep thro' the leaves of
her fan ;
Her heart doth so flutter , her cheeks do so
glow
As she asks , all a-trombliag : "Who is the

Twenty doth bring her to years of discretion ,
No lomr'jr tbo bluslics , but changes hoi-

With thoughts of tlio pocket , the place , the

She ( jnestioiis the circle with : "What is the

At thirty each day the thought doth appal
her ,
That hour by bom- her roses go wan :
Her circle of lovers grows smaller and
smaller
She duns each deceiver with : "Which is
the man : "
Forty changes her tune , and , grown ro-
ninatic ,
Deems it chnrming to simper as much as
sliu can ;
Haunts wnturuig places , steams tbo Atlantic ,
For tbo query of life now is : "Where is

With swinging stridus I'd lounge the Iloor ,

Found holfico m my niuerschauui pipe.

When midnight hours nro dark nnd long ,

And listen to a tuneful song
My mood for slaughter almost ripe ,
