The keeping ot Thanksgiving has
always been In the hands of the women
of thU country ever since the days when
Mr. Lincoln resurrected the custom and
leaned the proclamation setting a day
for the general offering of thanks us a
nation. Ot course , mon have done most
of thopreaching nnd all ot the proclaim
ing , but the real scrvico , the praying
and the cooking , liavo been done by the
women. In the dark ages when cook
ing schools were not and when n girl
was taught the art of cooking , It not the
Buicncv , in her mother's kitchen , and
was proud and happy It she could make
things "as good as mother's , " women
took irront nrido In the observance ot
Thunht-givlng day. Socks wcro knit
and warm clothing with a few dainties
Bent to the Boldlor hey , who could not
got homo to cat Iho good things lire-
pared there , nnd thanks wore sent up
that there was still n hey to solid things
to and to pray for. It the boy had bcon
slain in battle , though the homo was
dark and sad , the mother was thankful
that her darling died so bravo a death ,
and for his country , tool Then she
worked and prayed for some . other
womunV son , and still found cause for
thanksgiving.
If you are rich and fashionable you
will , 'of course , go to church next Thurs
day and drop tcrlai ) greenback or a
generous check on the plate to help
swell the sum collected on that day for
the poor , then go homo feeling if not
thankful , at least satisfied , that you
have done what you could. Even being
rich has Ha advantages and opportuni
ties. You will have turkey and ac
companiments and cat dinner with a
Bonso of enjoyment because you have
helped .some g' > od woman of your ac
qnaintaiiL'o got up a little feast for her
children ' n Uiiu jay. Perhaps you may
'lave g' i 'ul turkeys to those you
know a 'ord such luxuries those
bar i TI"J , . .nd us cshuritv is so fashion
able per * ips you have been to the dis
tribution of tlio dainties with your own
hands and feel sure that in your "dis
trict" there is no one who will go to bed
hungry. If you are permitted to do any
or all of these things , surely you will bo
able to "thank God for the older fashion"
of Christian charity.
# *
If you are poor or in the great middle
class as regards money and have but
little to spare , you will give the boy
next door , whoso mother is ill , a big
plate of doughnuts and toll him it is
because it is Thanksgiving , Ho will
know it is a holiday and will enjoy the
good things to eat , and it your family is
small and your dinner pretty good you
may even Invite in several children to
eat with you , and if they are of the class
who only get ' 'plenty to eat" ouco in
a while you will bo just as happy as if
you had $1,000 at your disposal. The
poorer people are the ' most generous
after all. They divi'do with their
friends and often give what they may
need themselves. But the spirit of
real charity is there and the
gifts are accepted with the feeling that
"some day I'll bo able to do iho same for
you , or for some other friend who is iu
the same needy condition aa I am today. "
Thus all over the city the day will bo
kept after a fashion , and though there
may , bo less praying of long , loud
prayorb than was the custom thirty
years ngo , the &orvico of good deeds will
jiot bo less , and it is alter all the deeds
that count. Thanksgiving day is simply
one more opportunity to do whatever
kindness is nearest at hand , and no
woman in Omaha will lot it pass because
Bho is not able to do some great thing.
It is not a day of great things. It is a
day for the doing of liitlo things with a
great love.

Ono of the friendliest and most dis
criminating of foreign critics remarks
that ' 'Americans have too many ac
quaintances and too few friends. "
It takes years together , at college , u
summer vacation or a sea voyage to put
people on a real cordial , confidential
footing , writes Ruth Trovclyan in the
Brooklyn Times.
Yet wo uro undoubtedly a social race.
Mon and women iu this country enjoy
each other's company quite as well as in
any part of the civilized world. Society
nourishes , why Is the intermingling of
kindred souls so rare ?
Social positions hero have no fixed
basis us in older countries. Families
are constantly in an unsettled state. To
work themselves up in the world absorbs
most of tholr energy. How can people
make friends when uncertain whether
they themselves belong to the frogs or
the tadpoles ?
Plays and novels old or now ones
which depicts the family who has risen
In wealth and bocial position turning
Hie cold shoulder to former friends , are
misleading ; they toll only ono side of the
story.
Does nny ono who reads this paper re
member Washington PlacoV It was a
block of comfortable three-story and
basement brick houses on Broadway ,
running between where the tsvo largo
savings banks now stand , Hero years
ngo lived a family of jolly , lively , gocd-
naturcd veoplo. Father , mother , sons
and daughters being equally friendly
and hcspitablo , their house \\us the re
sort of till the young people in the noigh-
borhord.
Suddenly , by a lucky stroke on Wall
street , the father acquired u fortune , an
enormous ono for these days. They
bought u handsome rcsldorco on Clin
ton avenue , with far-fanjed billiard room
nnd conservatories , kept well-appointed
carriages nnd hoi bos , arid began living
in style. The family wore as friendly
and us hospitable as ever , birt their old
friends , awed by the unuccubtomcd
splendor , gradually deserted them.
They no longer dropped in in an uncon
ventional way , but waited for a formal
invitation. Perhaps thuy felt that their
clothes woio not fine enough. The
family /airly longed for company , for ,
besides exchanging a few purfunctory
calls , they hud no intercourse with tholr
immediate neighbors. Never have I
scon a Icnelior set of pooplo. They
stood the Isolation about eighteen
months , then packed up disconsolately
* nd went to Europe for n grand tour.
t A diffurcnco of ta-itos between husband
and wife , though no sign cf domestic
discomfort , is fatal to uutsidu friend-
ulilpu.
Once I heard u young lady declare
that KIO ) demanded three essentials in n
litmband ; thu man Hho married must be
6 Baptist , a democrat anil a homeopath-
M. That faho is now the wife of an
allopathic physician , u republican nnd
Ik Unitarian , and ouo ot the happiest
women of my acquaintance. Is no reason
that she and hpr husband would choose
the fntno typo of friends.
I'ow women regard with favor the
biislnfii or political acquaintances tholr
husbands bring home to dinner.
People thoroughly happy In their
marriage relations do not need friends
ns much aa these less pleasantly
situated. Perhaps that is the reiwun
so many American families are content
with a largo circle of inoro acquaint
ances.

Two moro American girls are to marry
titles nud , what is moro deplorable , the
mon who bear thorn. Miss l-'lorence
Pullman , thocldcstdaughtorot the rail
road magnate , will marry Prince von
iBcnbcrg-Ulcratoln. and Miss Adoln
Grant will bo the wife of the carl of
KbPGX.
Neither of these lordly suitors has
very much money , both have moro debts
than dollars , and Mib4 Grant is not a
great hoirc&s , which gives n refreshing
tinge of originality to her engagement ,
tny * the Now York Advertiser. As for
the engagement of Miss Pullman to
Prince Isenbcrg , oven the emperor has
pleaded for it. Doubtless the imperial
patronage was pufllclout compensation to
tlio young woman , who dared to keep her
high born suitor in suspense for months ,
\\lthnfull knowledge at the time that
every heiress in Chicago was waiting to
spring upon him if she did not nee lit to
accept him , his nnmo and ills twenty-
eight roollebs castles.
Pullman is an interesting , clover ,
nccomplUhed girl and has rare good
bcnse. She has thought a good deal
about the position she is leaving , that
of u pelted only daughter in her father's
bountiful homo , n leader in her social
sot nnil an exceedingly happy and In
dependent young woman , and tlio life
who is about to enter as the wife a
princess , to bo sure of a penniless
prince1 , who , while of good connections
and a favorite ot court , could not give
her the same position in society in com-
] i.irison to that which she < couples horo.
But a title is always a power , and to no
a German princess is oven greater
dignity than being the wife of a lordly
English villain or baronet.
Mibs Pullman's dowry will bo 82.000-
000 , which will go a long way toward
putting in repair the many ancestral
halls of the impecunious aristocrat.

n Among the Gara nation , a people
dwelling on a range of hills between tlie
Brahmapootra and the Soorma valleys ,
the women are supremo. They woo the
men , they control the allairs of the
homo and the nation , property descends
through thorn , and in everything they
are dominant ; but note the sequel
they are the very ugliest women on the
face of tinearth. .
This fact Sir J. Crichton Browne de
duces to prove that tlio possession of
brain power in women means a corresponding
spending ugliness. "I fear , " ho says ,
' 'that what woman gains intellectually
by the higher education now in vogue ,
she will lose in beauty and grace , and
often in health , too. It looks to mo like
straining the faculties against nature.
Woman's personal charms are her
greatest power ; wo must not have
these destroyed ; and she greatly
excels man in perception , intuition nnd
the moral faculty. " But intuition is not
intelligence , and man himself has taught
us that it is a less reliable rule of con
duct than trained and logical intelli
gence. However "perceptive" a woman
may ber perception is practically useless
when entering the lists against mascu
line knowledge , and as for the moral
faculty , it is only allowed in the direc
tion of her own conduct. When its keen
light ih turned upon the action of the
other ox the moral faculty degenerates
into "a moral superstition" it has oven
been known to evolve into ' 'emotional '
prudery. "
About the ugliness of the Gara women
there can bo but one opinion , but it is
doub'fiil whether any great intellectu
ality has been discovered among them.
The theory advanced that brain power
is ineomputiblo with Dcauty in woman is
rcfutod by the women of Burmah , who
excel in beauty as they exeol in mental
force their helpless and shallow-minded
hubbunds.

Mink leads among the furs , perhaps
because it led in 1830 , or perhaps be
cause it blends so prettily with the
autumn tints. Ermine is also extremely
fashionable. A beautiful ermine capo
is displayed in ono of the largo windowb.
Another capo of velvet has an ermine
yoke. This ermine takes us back three
centuries , or oven farther , when it ap
peared on the royal purple robes ol
kings. The duke of Venice wore iiibt/
such a capo on the stage last week as
wo saw when wo looked into the Broad
way windows on our way from the
matinee. Little ermine boas make u
pretty variety among the mink anil seal.
The muffs are a great feature this
season , Some of them are perfect
monsters , being madoof long-haired fur.
Others are little bhaped affairs of lambs
wool , Astrakhan or velvet , and have
mink heads , bows of ribbon and oven
birds as ornaments.
*
Tlio moro sensible women content
themselves with simply smearing some
grease , cold cream or vaseline ever the
face and the neck , nays the Now York
Sun. Then this is wiped off with a soft
cloth HO that the skin no longer looics
shiny , but there is still enough grnaso
remaining to make the powder which is
now applied adhere ilrmly to thocskln.
Then the powder Is in its turn
urlbticullv wiped off till tlio face no
longer appears to have been powdered.
Still , though not obviously visible , there
is enough powder remaining to inuko a
bullow , yellow , bilious or brownish skin
look white and fresh , The slightest
conceivable touch ot red to the cheeks , a
little blue ever the courtc , followed by
ono or twosuggosllvo veins , and a moro
libouil allowance of black , sometimes
simple lampblack , to the eyebrows anil
eyelids ujmpleto the picture. But , above
all , this miibt bo done so slightly , so
lightly , and with such u delicacy of
touch and perception , that it must not
appear us if the skin had in any way
been painted or improved urtilioially.
It mny bo suggested hero that n lit
erary niun would bo a proper mute for a
lltorui'i woman ; but though like often
attracts like , wo roust nlso admit it just
us often attracts unlike , and than wo
have a theory that explains nothing bo-
cuiibo it oxpluins everything , writes
Mrs. Amelia E. Burr in an artielo dis
cussing the question , "Why Do Kot
Literary Women Marry" in the No-
vombur Ladles' Homo Journal. And , In
splto of n few brilliant exceptions , cx-
periunco docs not provo that there is
much sympathy between the fomulo und
the mulct fcholur. The lltorury woman
who knows anything , knows that ho is of
nil men the most.irritable and exacting.
Ordinary husbands , going about timoug
ordinary people , are entertaining and
reusunable , and bring the utmosphore
of actual life homo at evening with
thoiu. The literary husband spends the
day with himself , und with books writ *
ten by men who hold his opinions. Ho
hub no fresh , piquant news , und no gos
sip of the people they bath know. IIo
may be writing a political , or a tUoologi-
c.il uapor , or making n joke for a coralo
pprladical , but nil the same hn ia apt to

Sheffield , Bradford and Halifax , HutKlcrs-

most sparsely settled nnd well nigh the
most illicitly iwp-tlutcd districts in England.
Yorkshire covers n larger area than any of
the other thirty-nine counties in tlio coun
try , ttnd from thli fact is known as the
County of IH-Oiiil Acres. In population It
r.inka little behind Lancashire and but
slightly Higher than Middlesex , the three ,
caeh with over 2f > 00,00fl of puoplc , standing
fur uhrail of any of the other shires. By
reason of Its umvieldly sl/o U , Is divided Into
three ridings derived from the S.uou word
for n third part and ench ot these ridings ,
the North , the East anil the West , for all
purposes of local government at any rate ,
ranks as a county In Itself.
Of these the West riding is considerably
the largest and it nlso contains moro than
double the number of people Inhabiting
both the others together. The North
rlillng contains some exceedingly rich graz
ing , land and it few places ot historic in-
ercst. including the famous minster , or
cathedral at Yorir. The East rldini ; largely
onsists of low hills covering a district
jiiouu as the Welds , but. also includes the
mportant seaport of Hull.

In ibo West "riding is the center of tlio
voolen and woisted industries of the conn-
, ry , the Important otcel and cutlery manu
facturing of Stioiuold , not to mention im-
jortant industries in uottcnes , boot and shoo
Daking , silks , plushesglassware , iron , silver
il.ito and machinery of all kinds. It Includes
tlso one of the most important coal mining
districts iu tlio country with Batnsloyas
ts center ; while at the other end ot the rid-
ni , ' U sotno of the most picturesque , together
with some of the wildest. Inland scenery on
the Isluad. Of course there Is nothing to
compare with the rugged rocky coast scenery
of Cornwall in the fur soutuot of the west
coast of Scotland , where the wild waves of
; ho stormy Atlantic h'nvo broken the coast
ino into innumerable bays and headlands ,
cliffs and crevices , caverns and crags.
The ridincr covers but 2.7CO square miles-
Nebraska contains 7(3,01)1) ( ) ) and little Rhode
Island 1.8015 so that the mill hands and
miners from the dirty towns in the south
can roach the glorious' freedom of the hills
nnd vules in the nortli1whenever they can
spare a holiday. °
Thcso hills , mere mole hills they are in
comparison with the great mountains of the
.tockios , am in their own * class massive and
magnificent , 'ihoy arp Of limestone forma
tion and therefore have the customary flat
and generally coffin-shaped tops. Tlieir
ewer slopes are covered with heather and
eng grass and abound With grouse and rab
bits and other game. Ingleborough , Whern-
slilo and Pcnygant are the three highest.
They all lie in a muich and have been all
ascended in n day. This , however , is an un
usual and extremely dlfllcult undertaking.
1 hey are each of them little short of 3,000
feet and the valleys between them are at
the most 1,000 foot above sea level.
Au.iut the los. " "
One peculiarity of these hills is the "pots. "
These are great holes , many of thorn hun
dreds of feet deep and anywhere from five or
six to 100 feet wiao at the mouth. Most of
them have water running into Uicm , and of
course have all been formed by the action ot
cho young mountain streams ou the soluble
ituostono rooks. On the slopes of Ingle-
borough is ono of the most noted of these
[ iots. It is known as Gaping Gill Holo.
Looked at from above it appears to bo a
crack in the rock , its sides worn smooth and
hard D.V the running water. Around three
sides of it is a high amphitheater of grass ,
too steep to afford a safe foothold , at the
fourth side the little beck or brook which ,
save in very dry seasons , runs Into the pots
to emerge from obscurity again lower down
the hill side. This little crack In the rock is
some lifteen or twenty feet long , and not
moro than six across at the widest part.
Drop a pebble in. When you have almost
given up listening for U you hoar it strike
the water several hundred feet below , or it
maj catch on some projecting rocit and re
bound from side to side striking several
times before splashing into tlio water.
Clajilum Ciiveg.
The stream that runs In here runs out
through ono of the most curious limestone
caves in England. It does not contain any
largo chamber , but it is many hundred
yards in length and m it are found the most
singular looking stalactytesand other lime
stone curiosities. The entrance to these caves
Is reached thronah the groundspf Sir Thomas
Farrer , which are open to visitors who are
entrusted with u key upon signing a visitors
book in the village of Claptmm below.
Through these grounds is a most picturesque
driveway , about a mlle long overhung with
the richest foliage , with a pair of artificial
lakes at the foot of a deep decline to the
right. Through the trees can bo had
glimpses of Ingloborough , a typical example
oi the cofiln-ciowned hill , massive and with
a top a milo long , directly in front ; and
across the lakes the slopes of Norber and
Moughton , with the fatal Hobin Proctor's
scar , where the ill-fated shepherd lost his
life one dark i.lght and gave his name to the
dangerous crag over which hu foil , and
Penygant , mighty and silent In the distance ,
like u lion coucbant.
I'rcttU'St Villnco In Yorkshire.
Clapham village claims to bo the prettiest
In Yorkshiro. Its houses uro of limestone ,
their walls frequently three or four feut
thick with heavy oak doors unU each with
its own weu bit of garden , carefully tonued
and planted with sweet peas , ircrunlums ,
pnnsies , cowslips , primroses and daisies.
Through the center of the village splashes
the llttlo stream which hascomo down the
Mopes of Ingleborough , 16sl itself in Gaping
GUI Hole , hollowed out the caves and fed the
two hikes already referred to. At Its lower
end Is a poHtofiluo and telegraph station anil
an hotel , a comfortahlo country inn of the
kind to bo found in all the towns and villages
of rural England. A. mlle to u mile and n
half away is the railway station and there ,
at the Junction also of two cross highways ,
is another famous inn , known as the Flying
Ilor.sn Shoo.
A mile or moro to the other side of Clnp-
ham the footpat'i loads past the front of
Sir Thomas Farrer'a house la another
village , Austwick. Though smaller , this is
moro typical of the country villages of the
Yorksh'ito hill district than Clapham. The
field path and the highroad from Clapham
both enter near the church , a handsome ,
modern building standing at the conver
gence of Ihrco roads. In the triangle where
these roads meet. Is the vlllutro cross , In
this case little moro than u pillar of stone

lookhiR cottages with the princip.il village
store in the center. On all sides , for bonio
distance around , are scattered little dwell
ings , all of ilio same limestone , solidly and
substantially built , mostly two storied high ,
and nestling cosily Into the hillsides.
This little village , though over two and n
half miles from a railroad station , has u dally
mall service , the carrier tramoius from Clap-
hum ovcry morning about 8 o'clock and leav
ing again nt 5 p. in. Twice a weelc a neigh
boring farmer opens up u llttlo btitclier store
in the outskirts iiud the villagers l.iv in their
supplies of meat for the three or four days
to follow.
Once n 1 helving Vlnce ,
But those are Its days of decadence.
Austwick , llko many another village In the
surrounding country , was once a flourUhiiig
manufacturing village. Tlio advent of the
railway and tlio atoain-drlven looms , tending
to the centralization of all such work , killed
its industry , and it is loft to struggle along ,
1U people having apparently no occupation
save , perhaps , some little aheap tending era
a Dit of pardon in which vegetables are
giown for the market.
O'vora conalilnrablostrotch of country nt
this lower cud of the hill district are scat
tered sucn little quiet villages , some
smaller , some Jargcr. Four imlos from
Austwick , Iu a southeasterly direction , is
the market town of Settle. Hero ovcry
Tuesday the fanners fiomu great distance
iiround gather to sell their ogps and butter ,
their gcuse , ducks and chickens , or their
cabbages , cauliflowers , lettuces or other gar-
d.ou produce. Adjoining Settle is tlio equally
nncitmt town of Gltrgleswick , ehlelly famous
for itH excellent hois grammar school. Tlio
road down here front Austwick ana Cap-
ham is the old hlglnoad from Lancaster to
York , very noteworthy In the old coaching
days. A short dlstanco out of Glsplcswiok
It is banked on ono side by Gigi/leswiclv
Hear , a famous precipice up which Dick
Turpin , most noted of all highwaymen , is
declared to have ridden his Black Hess
when hard pressed by his nursucrs. Along
here , too , is u peculiar natural curiosity , an
ebbing and flowing well. A small stream
of water running down the hill sldo
Is collected In a little stone trough which at
Irrojular tiinoa la full or noaily empty.

Ten miles north of Bottle , around and
south of wlrtdi la a rich grazing country , is
a wild und weird district on the east slope
of Whernsldo , The main line of the Mid
land railway runs up hero to.ScotlanU.whlla
an older branch Una forks off at Settle pass
ing Ulapham on its wav to Lancaster ,
Morccambo and IJarrow-Iu-l-'uruess. Up hero
at the foot of Whcrnsldo Is a famous via-
duet , immediately after crossing which
the railway plunges into a long and deep
tunnel. Twenty or moro years ago , wlion
this pleoo of road was opened , it was looked
upon as a marvelous piece of railway en
gineering. Just by the viaduct U the sta
tion of Hibulehcad. Here are about half a
dozen cottages occupied by railway won , an
inn and a pump. Hut the reason for inaklnn
It a stopping place for the trains is that It Is
at the crossln ? of the road from Clapuam
and Austwick on the west to Hawes ,
some ton miles away , and a string of
towns in AVcnslcydalc on the cast.
A milo down the Hawes road is another flrst
class country inn. Standing out aiono in u
bleak neighborhood a milo from tho-ncaiest
building , it is now little patronl/od ; but In
times gone by It was an important stopping
place for passing coaches , As if to empha
size the loneliness of the place ravens may
occAslonally bo heard croaking overhead on
the lopcs \Vhornsido opposite.
Settle may bo reached in less than two
hours from Leeds anil Bradford , two towns
but nine mile * apart and containing , with
the inhabitants of numerous small villages
between them , not far short of a million of
people.

"JJocuuso , " comes tlio reply , "it is HO
dillliiiilt. You must speak to hor. "
Tlio missionary then culls the young
woman to him und says : "i think it la
time that you murry. "
"Hut , " she replies , "I do not wish to
murry. "
"That is " adds the
u pity , missionary ,
"as I have a husband for you. "
"Who ia ho ; " ' aaks tlio muidon.
The missionary numos the candidate
for her lovo.
"Unt ho is not worth anything , I will
not Imvo him. "
' Jlowovcr , " suggests the missionary ,
"ho is a good fellow and attends well to
his house. Ho throws u good harpoon ,
and ho loves you. "
The Greenland bounty listens ntton-
tivoly , but again declares that faho will
not accept the man us her husband.
"Very well , " yooson tlio missionary ,
' I do not wish to force you. i shall
easily find another wlfo for so good u
follow. "
The mlmlotmry then remains silent ,
as though ho looked upon the incident
as closed. Hut in u few minutes she
whispers : "Hut if you wish it "
"No , " answers the pastor , "only if
you wish it. I do not wish to ovorpor-
Btnulo you. "
Another sigh follows , und tlio pustor
expresses the ragrot that she cannot
accept the man.
"Pastor , " she then breaks out , "I four
ho is not worthy. "
"Hut did ho not kill two whale ? last
summer while the others killed uonof
Will you not take him now ? "
"Yes , yes ; I will , "
"God bless you both , " answers the
pastor , and joins the two ' marriage.
