Rensselaer Republican, Volume 17, Number 3, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 25 September 1884 — A Feminine Paradise. [ARTICLE]

A Feminine Paradise.

In tlie next world there will probably be two paradises—one for women, the other for men —because their respective iileaa of paradise are too far apart to admit of one heaven being mutually satisfactory. For example, Kong Branch is a female paradise, but the abject misery of the few men who find then’ way here is too plainly written upon their countenances to admit of any doubt. The hatred which men have for a fashionable watering-place is something phenomenal; and when they are beguiled into Doming by their female contingent,, they absolutely refuse to be amused and carefully refrain from enjoying themselves where the women can see Jihem. They chiefly haunt the hotel offices, and are apparently devoting themselves to the elucidation of the Presidential problem by a profound study of the newspapers. If there ever was a loud cry for Brown’s young men, it is at the gay watering places this year. Girls in piles —heaps of them—pretty, entertaining, with charming clothes, and with a lot of old women of both sexes to show them off to. It is enough to bring tears\ to the eyes of a statue. A drive along Ocean avenue here would make anybody believe the last census, which gave nearly a million more men than women to this country, is a gigantic swindle. There are at least a million more women than men at Long Branch alone—and every man here is bald-headed. That may be verified by actual count. —Letter in New York Express-Mail.
