SHE WRITES OF THE CARDINAL VICE |H OF TO-DAY, PRETENSE.

The lonag Men and "Women, and Old Ones, too, who Try to Conceal the Fact That They Work for Their Living—How the Waters of ForgetfalneM Will Cover the Pretenders. iCopyrlght, 1895.]

It preached itself to me in tbis way She bad said to me, "Come and lunob with me on Wednesday," and I, think ing it meant a obop and a enp of tea and a bit of toast, gladly accepted the invitation. But when I got there, I found my lady in gorgeous negligee, there were seven other guests, and, in the little dining-room was a luncheon lit, as Mother Goose says, "to set before a king." Now, I happened to know that her husband was a olerk who got a very small salary, and that she had no fortune of her own consequently, this elaborate luncheon either represented debt or theft. Theft in this way, that just so much comfort would be taken from the hard-working husband, comfort that he bad a right to have, to gratify the pernicious vanity of a woman. I could scarcely take a mouthful, and all the time I thought this one thing—the cardinal vice of American women is—pretense.

THE DAUGHTER'S BIG WEDDING. I Mrs. Younghusband, whose people are kind and loving, who have a comfortable income, but many mouths to till, «o into debt that their daughter may have such a wedding as she desires. She appears in white satin, and is followed by a troop of bridesmaids "in dainty frocks. There is a large reception, a rioh supper, and the going away on a wedding trip, for which Younghusband himself has had to saye the money, and which common sense tells him would have been better invested in furnishing a home than in flyhig around the country and staying at expensive hotels. But Mrs. Youngbusband has no idea of sinking, as she calls it, into being a domestic woman. She proposes to wear that white satin frock and all of the expensive gowns that formed part tif her troOsaeau. She meets other women who are like herself. With muoh iyretense, they announce their deception days, and offal* Wfcfek tea, weaker punoh and staid cakes to the curious crowd who oome to gratify by their presence and laugh once they are well away. Every one of them knew that that much-mirrored bookcase was a folding bed, though nobody pretended to have this knowledge, and everybody knew, though tbis was ignored, that the oft referred to maid was simply a slavey from the boarding house kitohen, induced by the glitter of a dollar to act in the capacity desired for the one afternoon. I

Sometimes Mr. Younghusband GRINDS, AND GRINDS, AND GRINDS until be makes something of a fortune and, sometimes, if he happens not to be over-Btrong, he drops at his post and, sometimes he needs thedoliarsso badly, at least he thinks he needs them, that he steals them, and the days follow one another until there comes one awful day when he iB branded as a thief, and then all the worlc^ that knew Mrs. Younghusband sympathizes with her. Now, my friend, wouldn't it have been better if at the very beginning everything had been arranged different? Suppose Mrs. Younghusband had had a trosseau suited to her position in life, and that her wedding trip had been to the little nest her husband had made for her that her hospitality had been represented by good, honest food, and an honest, welcome. But, alas! the average woman is eaten up with a desire to appear more than she is, and hep: prayer, if she ever prays, is "give me more and more of this world's goods, and if I may not have them give me the knowledge to appear as if I do have them." V"* THE SO OAIXED SWELL. I" There is young 'Charii.e Starvation, who dresses well, more than well, fashionably whose dress clothes are immaoulate, who sends bouquets and bonbons to various young women, and who is invited out everywhere. Now, Charlie

Starvation is ashamed to tell the trutb, or to live it. He is a olerk in a shipping office, but the people be goes among believe that ho is one of the firm. If he lived a oomfortable life and wasn't defendant in that everlasting lawsuit of "Baok vs. Stomach," he would have a oomfortable place in which to live, rather than a poor room on the top floor of a cheap boarding bouse. And yet now, if it weren't for the dinners to whioh he goes, he would be hungry many times. He is another who fatls down before the god of pretense, and is only anxious to serve him well, and appear what he is not.

Sitting next to you happens to be Miss Blneblood. She is long past forty, and has

extremely bitter tongue Every

body is afraid of her. She knows whose mother first was a washerwoman and then married an inn-keeper. She knows whose grandfather was a peddler and whose father worked on a railroad. She fails to see any honesty in properly earning money, and doesn't hesitate to curl her lip and make biting speeches about that world which is rich in healthy red blood, and has not become diseased by oontinual intermarriage

WHT SHE HUBS HKRSKLF.

Miss Blneblood alts in herroom with her door locked for a good many hours every day, and the servants whisper that certainly all that fine linen work she

does cannot be for herself. She would insist that i£ was if she were asked aboiit it. Now the truth is, that her rioh friends pay her for this' work, and yet she is ashamed to tell that she earua, money. She thinks it would affect her position socially. The woman whose standing in aoolety is governed by her pretending to be what she is not, is as if she were on the ice bridge of pretense which very soon the bright sunshine of honesty will melt, and those who rely upon it will fall, to be oovered by the waters of forgetfulness and never be heard of again,

I tell you it is the sin, this wioked pretense, that is making our women dishonorable and our men thieves. Men who love women want to gratify their wishes, and too many have done it at the expense of loss of oharacter. It is pleasant to know that one's grandfather was honest, but if he were an honest peddler he is better woVth olaiming than if he were a gentleman by pretense.

Little Mis. Cheerful, who keeps house in a bit of a flat, talks about "My apart ment." She keeps one servant, and speaks of her as "the maid." When she is able to have two, the oook, whose knowledge of oooking extends to what is known as plain fare,

SHE CALLS "THE OHEF."

And so it goes on and on, and everybody seems to be trying to appear what they are not, and everybody thinks that everybody else is fooled and nobody is. As an evidence of the possibility of pretense and the way it may be put down, I happened to know of a flat myself with a history. It was inhabited at one time by a excessively charming literary wo man, who had the good fortune to marry a man of wealth. After her marriage, she went to live in a oountry place on Long Island, quite near to one of the fashionable clubs. One afternoon she was among the many women there, who were about that woman who is at once the most fascinating of women and oleverest of writers a woman who does not need to write, for she is immensely rich, but whose books have been wonderful delineations of men and women. The former slave of the quill was finding fault with the house in which she lived, and whioh, by the bye, was much better than any she bad ever had. She said, with a toss of her head, "Really, I scarcely know how to endure it of course, we are having it remodelled and everything possible done to it, but until it is entirely made over, I shall never call it anything but the hut."

SIRS, ORTTGER^S POINTED QUESTION. Quick as a flash, up went the diamond framed monocle to the eye of Julian Gordon, and she said, with her ininait--able drawl, that drawl that is so perfectly well bred, "May I ask what you used to call the flat that you lived in on Cotton avenue?" There was no answer to the question, but nowadays, the flat on Cotton avenue between Velvet and Plush streets is invariably oalled "The Hut," because for once, honesty downed pretense.

How Tar does it extend? Not long ago young Blgmouth, the son of a wellknown olergyman, coolly said: "I despise. ministers they are all frauds. I don't believe in anything, and I shall always do exaotly as I please. But of course I am going to study for the ministry for, with father's reputation to baok me and my good looks, I'll get a.soft berth, have all the women running after me and all the money I want." And he was ordained the other day. He is quite as vioious as any so called man albout town and yet he puts on an immaonlate robe of pretense and then laughs beoause the world is so easfly fooled. And

THERE IS MR. CHIVALRY FRANCHISE.

He was on the Reform ticket. He is going to clean out the political drain. He made no end of speeches, of which the keynote was reform, reform and always reform. Now be is in. And he laughs to himself, and sells the offices that are under his control and fills his pocket with money gotten by dishonest practices, and still is brazen enough to go to publlo dinners and regret that his power is not greater, so that he might do absolutely as the people wish. It is our national vice, and it oomes, I suppose,

ALL KINDS OF HTJMBtJGS.

It is encouraged by the sad truth that thoroughness is not required in anything. James Cbeek, Esquire, who, yesterday was a plumber, to-morrow, because of his great wealth, edits a newspaper. Dr. Quaok, who only knows the A. B. C. of bis profession, manages to get a certain sort of notoriety, and be is oalled when those near and dear to us need attention. Mr. Brass, whose ntme you see in the city paper every morning and whose knowledge of law is confined to triokery, is eagerly sought by widows and orphans to save the little remnant of money that the living are trying to steal from the dead. Mr. False Metal sells me a spoon marked sterling, whioh is silver plated. And we accept all this pretense, and try to believe that what we buy has the veritable hail-mark on it. We should demand that our doctors and odr lawyers are really men of learning, at least in their special branches. We should demand that the editor of a paper should comprehend good English, and not mistake disgusting personality for honest news. We should ofter hon est hospitality and not the miserable pretense of it to our friends. We should live, all of us, within our means. Then there would be fewer men in the penitentiary, a less number of women would go to the dogs, and there would be more happy homes where the voices of little children, playing cheerfully and loving lyt ardently, would constitute the music. •n}* BOWING TO A FALSE GOD.

A sermon? Perhaps it is, but it cuts me to the heart to see our bright* pretty American women bowing down to tbis false god, and to realise that he rides

"Mamma," said Benno eagerly, "I want a penny out of my bank." "Very well, dear," returned mamma, taking the bank down off the shelf. "But what for?"

Bayard Taylor.

"I think ambition is nevor glveii without a mind of sufficient power to sustain it and to achieve its lofty object."

Who Wrote these words? A boy ofi named Bayard Taylor as he looked proudly upon an autograph Charles Dickens had given him and felt within him that fire of ambition which was never quenched.

The Quaker boy of the little town of Kennett Square, near Philadelphia, who was born Jan. II, 1885, grew to he very fond of books, and often when sent to rock the baby would forget all about the crying infant, so deeply would he be absorbed in a story of travel or delightful poem.

His father was a poor farmer who had no money to spend on books, so Bayard set out gathering nuts, wliicb be sold, and, instead of rushing off to a candy store, like some boys and ^irls, ho invested his money more wisely in buying books. At 14 he was studying Latin and French, 16 found him deep in Spanish. At 1? he was no longer the ptipil, hot the assistant in the school. The story of his life, with its deep shadows and bright lights, is beautiful and full of inspiration.

Every boy and girl of America should know it by heart. And see how the penniless lad at last reached some of the heights of his ambition and became minister to Berlin and was welcomed cordially by Emperor William and had for a fast friend Bismarck.—New York Press.

DOpSTIC SERVICE,

DIFFICULTIES THEREIN WHICH MUST BE UPROOTED.

ybli.ODe Employment In Which the Lar borer Owns Not a Moment of Time. privileges and Rights—To Secure Intelli"t getaoe It must Be Inspected.

Most women will tell you that their jpaids make demands unsuitable to their station in life, and that with every comfort supplied them, kindness and consideration constantly shown them, they exhibit antagonism and ingratitude toward their employers. Few of tbem ar* faithful, few of them well trained, none of them equal to the emergencies of housekeeping without constant supervision. ¥et whatever the fault of the^ individual servant may be, she can find employment usually With littjle difficulty and wages out of all proportion to her worth. The demand for good services being larger than the Supply, this state of things is likely to grow steadily worse until the remedy is found, and the disoussion of the problem is general, though the different theories evolved are always ignored when the housekeeper finds a servant she oan retain, and no effort is continued against the next emergency. Women are suffering keenly from this state of tbings, and their sufferings will increase until they are forced to make a steadfast effort to find the root of the difficulty.

It is the one employment in which every part of the laborer's life, night and day, is under the control of the employer. There is no hour of time, no portion of space, that belongs to the employee. A kind mistress may accord them privileges, but intelligent, self respecting women require rights."1

In almost any other business the employee is able to turn* her back on the scene of her labors when the work of the day ia finished, and the remaining time is her own. It may be that the time is un-r reasonably short, the surroundings UIK" pleasant, but they are the absolute property of tho worker, and she knows that there Is always a possibility that increased ability will secure higher pay and more leisure, giving her greater opportunity for that ''pursuit of happiness" which is her most preoio'us right, and which invariably includessocial intercourse. '•^Domestic service alone denies this right. Good housekeepers do not desire or allow

Ijgir servants to enjoy it in their homes. Jhe women have no homes to which they can take friends, and if sufficiently intelligent to enjoy music, lectures, the theater and valuable companionship they would not be allowed to avail themselves of the privileges. If they are not intelligent, as I have already said, they cannot relieve housekeepers of the pressure under which they are sinking.

One constantly hears condemned the demands of the

servants

for opportunities to

indulge tastes "out of keeping with their positions." Yet no aspiration which is elevating in tendency should be "out of keeping" with any position. The existing system makes any desire for intellectual cultivation seem inappropriate. Women Will get no relief from- their difficulties until they recognize that such a system is iftdipally wrong. When reviewing the fitter, they steadily,refuse to see that the ^ahgemust bo" from the foundation, and that none of the expedients proposed touch the root of the difficulty.. At present if the true cajnse is-.brought to their notice they immediately explain how the details of tljeir lives are such that no jshange, under any circumstances, can pos3ibly be made, ignoring, as all untrained minds insist on doing, the fact that if the principle of a system be correct the details will slowly work out aright. Otherwise no amount of ability in handling detail will avail in the long run.

Evolution must always be slow and gradual, and should women make a con certed movement to free domestic service from those conditions which now put a social stigma upon it it would be some years before they could'hope to place it on rf basis that would induce women of V^bn and intelligence to enter it in large numbers. In the end "the housekeeper's relief must come through such a change, ,qnd her only choice lies between hastening or retarding it.

For hei? to consider whether or not she likes the form of ohange proposed is senseless, for whether she desires it or not there is ample indication that it must come. One mistake many a woman makes in thinking of this altered plan of housework is to imagine that all the details of her effort must be radical changes from this present system. She recognizes that some the work must be planned on a cooperative basis, and the conditions of cooperation preclude her indulging in certain personal eccentricities of taste, so that she rebels against the experiment. But if the word "concentrated" wero substituted for "co-operative" her prejudice would be less roused. She is not likely to reason that all concentration is co-operative.

Our conservative ancestors thought that it would take more brains to control the range than could be supplied for the occasion. The modern housewife must realize that the sooner she places domestic service on a plane where it is generally acknowledged that it takes brains to carry on the trade the sooner sho will induce intelligent women to en^jr it.

The housekeeper is frequently overwhelmed with despair at the apparent hopelessness ol her outlook. She looks with a certain envy on those who have not her cares and worries. But she would feel she had no cause for such envy could she once know tho heaviness of heart with which those who have been laid aside from active service realize that they see the way clear to bettering the conditions, that they really know a part of what is radically wrong, and yet perceive that they wili not be listened to, cannot persuade one acquaintance to try, even feebly, to work toward the solving of the problem. There is a deep pain in feeling the helplessness of the theorist in the face of the prejudice and shortsightedness of the active struggles It

Boys' Pun In the Arctic*.

The oldest boys ofr an Eskimo village have all sort3 of hunting games—musk ox hunts, polar bear hunts and many other of like character, which, I fear, would take up too much time to describe here. In this way they fit themselves to become expert hunters by the time they become young men. In athletic sports these boys really excel, and a roll down bill is for tbem the greatest fun. They generally find a very steep hill, well oovered with snoft, and seat themselves on the ridge, thrust their heads between their legs, pass their clinched hands over their anklqjp, pressing their legs as closely against their bodies as. possible. Thus they really become great balis oovered with reindeer hair. And then away they go on the down biil race, suddenly spreading themselves out at full length at the bottom of the hill. An amusement that requires a great deal of muscular strength is a peculiar kind of short race on the hands and feet, the legs and arms held perfectly rigid. It is quite exhausting, and they generally cover but two or three yards at a time. They have many similar ways of racing to toughen the muscles of both legs and feet.—Sunday School Times.

Mrs. George Gould's Children.

Although each child has a separate nurse, Mrs. George Gould gives be* special attention to tlieatursery. She superintends the airing, heating and cleaning and watches the thermometer with the utmost oare. The room is never allowdti to reach a higher temperature than 72 degrees. If any of tho children does not find this warm enough, the room isnot'heated to a higher temperaturo, but the children are clothed more warmly. Each meal served to the children is carefully overlooked by the mother, and even the weight of the portion sent to each ohild is accurately attended to. After the children have been tucked in their beds at night they are visited by their mother, who is careful to see that they have enough covering and do not sleep in drafts. However iate an entertainment or dance may detain her, Mrs. Gould never retires without attending to this duty.—New York Telegram.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox, the poetess of passion, has as many fads as ideas about love and verses. Her prinoipal fad is her lord and master, an interesting man who is not at ail sesthetio in appearance. Next come her gowns. For evening they are barbarically splendid, made like flowing robes, covered, with lace and jewels and ornaments. Her fad in animals is a white kitten, which came all the way from Paris in a crated box. For its especial amusement Mrs. Wilcox strung several thousand shells on ribbons and made a portiere of them, which also serves as a plaything for puss. Ella Wheeler Wilcox is also fond of old newspapers, the older and., rarer the better, and wears—ye gods and little fishes!—a thumb ring.—Philadelphia Times.
