Tillage asocial leader she is usually a great believer in blood, and is happiest when she is telling who her ancestors were. Then, too, she is apt to be the remit of some famous failure. That is to say, you will be told, with bated breath, that "Mr. Brown-Robinson went on Wail street one day and just dropped three millions of dollars, and that they were forced to give up their house in the city, and they came out here to Ht©, *nd she is just tec sweet for anything." This is tbe way one of her admirers talks, for, naturally, she has enemies. Every woman does who is a boss, *nd this type invariably

BAB'S BAZAR INVITATION.

But to return to the bazar, which nobody ever does who has any sense. I was Invited to assist at the lemonade table. I promptly declined. The joy of giving outthe juiceof the fiery, untamed lemon, is not unmixed. In the first place you are apt to spill it on your •frock, which means a stain thick with sugar and shy on color, as acids and •colors do not harmonize. Then to charge ten cents for a small glass of lemonade when tbe whole bowl full didn't cost fifty, is too much of a cheat even for a city woman to give her countenance to. Bazar lemonade is made after this fashion: To two gallons of water put the juice of five lemons, the lumps of two pounds of sugar and apiece of ice rather larger than Mr. Cleveland's head. Then you beg all the orange and lemon skins left over from cakes and puddings, mince and circulate them through the fluid, and it is ready to be imbibed. Every time you take five glasses of lemonade out, you put in five of water, and so by the end of the evening the lemonade is innocuous. I resigned in f*vor of a less conscientious woman, and said that I would like to be a walking delegate and so be able to see tbe great fraud in all its perfection.

Following an English fashion, inaugurated by Lady Bective, the prettiest *glrl sold griddle cakes, which she made to order on a gas stoye, and

Then there was a table which was a •ery intellectual one that is to say, there ware all sorts and conditions of things for sale, and for the sake of the knowledge you gained, you paid three times the value of anything you bought. The claim was made that on the white paper used for wrapping, there was printed, In gold letters, a quotation in harmony with the article inside. For instanoe, a doll's hat which brought a dollar, had for its motto, "Mine be the obip of purest white," while a fine pocket handkerchief was announced as "K is the kerchief, a rare work of art," and a pair of glovsa were described as "Pearl gray, a color neat." Belts bore the motto, "Her passport to hearts Is a belt round her waist." A rich dressed doll brought twice what it cost because on its wrapping waa printed, «'Wtao could live with a doll though ita locks thottld be curled,

And Its petticoat* trimmed in the fashion r» Of course, there were lota more, but this will give jou an idea as to bow It was all managed, and It seems to me that there were some clever ideas, well worth Imitating. After we had stolen all the money we possibly could, and the rub blab had been sold at auction, tbe table* were pushed back, andjt was announced that they would finish up with a dance.

PEOPLE,

BAB'g LETTER.

iCopyrlght, 1885.}

As soon as one gets In a hotel, is con* flescended to by tbe bead waiter, ap proved by tbe proprietor and permitted to live by tbe chambermaid, one is asked •s to contribute, both by gifts and by one's presence, at a fair for the benefit of some* thing in tbe village. The idea seems to be that city people see nothing of those swindles at home, and ti^at, when they get out in the country, where tbe grasb is green and the natives pink, that they must get rid of whatever innooenoe they liave left and help to cajole dollars out of tbe pockets of the village young men and anything else in tbe shape of a man that may be idiot enough to come when lie is invited. There is in every small

as only

hot cakes can sell. These varied in prloe. Ten cents was demanded for an ordinary cake, but if the amateur cakemakflr put in a little extra butter, then the price was fifteen, and under no circumstances was change given. A rival to the cakemaker was another girl who presided over a gas stove on which was a kettle of boiling water. For the moderate sum of fifty cents, this attractive young obeat would write your name on an egg and then drop it in the water, -wbero it would boll until it was as hard as her heart, and then you could olaim your property.

THE MOST SENSIBLE TABLE

was the bag one. You could get a rubber bag for hot water, or a brocade one to hold your opera glasses you could get a cotton bag for clothespins and a perfumed silk one for handkerchiefs. You could get a knitted string bag, a machinemade jelly bag, a highly prnamental ragbag made of blue and white tleking, and decorated with fed worsted in crazy stitch, or you could get one of those lovely ship bags, called properly enough, compactus, and which will hold securely all the things you most want. Then there were bags with almond meal In them for your bath, and tiny bags filled with dried rose leaves. In fact, there was every sort of a bag, clear up to one big enough to hold the boodle of an Alderman, and which had no special tise ascribed to it. I advise anybody who wants to have a sensible table at a fair to get up this kind.

danoe

know what Is the reason, unless, it is that they don't wear well fitting shoes For, Instead of the lovely glide, which makes a woman look aa if she were floating through the air, they indulge In a sort of jiggle, the result of short steps, and a kind of prance, Put still it is fun to ait among the dowagers, and look at them all. There is the girl who has just come out,«and who is always ready to danoe. She looks lovely, elm ply because she has an air of believing in the sincerity of all mankind, and is cer tain that the world is full of roses, and that she is going to be eternally orowned with them. Nine times out of ten her partner Is a young man who is wearing his firat dress suit, and who is over whelmingly neat. He never givea a thought to her olothes, but, if he dreamed for an inatantthat bis tie wasn't perfectly exact, and his shoe laoe just as it ought to be, he would be the most unhappy fellow in the world.

In absolute oontrast to the girl whose firat season it Is, is that other girl who has danoed and pranced through three seasons, and yet the right man haan't come. She ia inolined to be cynical. She talks about men in away she thinks smart, but which is deoidedly bitter. Somehow you feel like reminding her of tbe fox and the sour grapes. But, although she says auoh vicious things about the noble sex, still, when there are no other women around, she is very subservient to the men, because she doesn't want to be neglected. Then there is the elderly beau. He is apt to be a horrid old beast, rather free of bis manners with the girls, and olaiming that this is his speoial right, because he is old enough to be their father. He reminds each chaperon of her age by telling her of some ball "given thirty years ago, about a year or two after you were married." It seems scarcely neoessary to say that he is not a favorite with them. He will dance. And as he goes at it with great fervor, he gets horribly red in the face, and his partner dreads his haying an attack of apoplexy there and then. Very prominent Is the clever girl. She is not a great dancer, and she wears eyeglasses. She nas been to one of tbe colleges, and oan write B. A. after her name, and seems likely to retain theB., as meaning

BACHELOR, ALL HER LIFB

She talks to the men about the advantages of equal education and enuDS an women who don't know as much as she does. I must confess I am not very fond of her. She is not a girly girl.

Another type, certain to be found at the summer dance, is the nervous young man. He is always dreadfully afraid that bis step won't go with yours, always agitated about the music, and always fearful that, if he has to take a girl into the supper room, Bhe won'tget what she wants. He makes everybody else nervous, and girls fly when they see him coming. Of course the man flirt is to the fore. He always chooses for a partner the girl who is shorter than he is, for he likes to look down into her eyes. He knows how to give a pressure to her hand, a pressure that she couldn't speak of, for she doesn't quite know whether he meant it, since it seemed so slight. Very often he is married, and likes to tell young girls about his unhappiness how his wife has never grown with him, and how her thoughts are entirely given to the material side of life. Oh, yes, he is a scoundrel, but I am sorry to say there area great many of him, and the wife about whom he talks is infinitely better than he is. As for the girl with whom he 1b flirting, it must be said that her chaperon is a very poor one, else she would have interfered and explained him long ago. By the bye, that is tbe duty of a chaperon. She must make her charge cognizant of the desirability and lack of it possessed by the men who surround her. But always she must make her comprehend that the married flirt is something from which she must shy.

THE FAST YOUNG MAN,

who isn't fast enough to hurt, dances in a languid sort of a way, has a large gardenia in his buttonhole, and tries his best to look as if he usually went in for something a little gayer than this sort of thing. Much is to be forgiven him. He has an idea that, to be "a man of the world," as he calls it, is fine, and he doesn't realize that real men of the world are never like him. Still he is young, and only a bit of a fool, and he won't do the girl any harm, so most of us look at him a little charitably. The pretty girl is interesting. She is the girl who, from the time she knew anything, has been told her charms. Now, she isn't a beauty. She is just a pretty girl, who Is overoonscious. She is not very well known here, and she ii not receiving all tbe at tention she thinks she should, and she can't understand It. She knows she is well dressed, and she knows she is pretty, and she doesn't realise that tbe agreeable girl Is more sought alter by men than the one whose form of belief Is expressed in one line,

well. I don't

believe In

my oVn beauty." She will get many a bard bit before the summer Is over, and she will go back home a more sensible girl. Of course, her people are to blame. Personal experience has proved to me that tbe beauty of a family is usually a disappointment. Tbe constant praise given her by ber own kin makes tbe ap prestation she baa of herself offensive to the rest of tbe world, while tbe selfisb nees which It has created convinces them that she is not a, pleasant coma

THE ALL.

The popular girl la that one wbo wants, not only to have a good time herself, but likes all the other girls to be in It, too. She Isn't dressed any more than any body else, and she doesn't olaim more than anybody else. She 1a good-tem-pered and appreciative, and decidedly tbe moat delightful girl with whom to spend tbe summer. There la nothing quite to aloe asanlos girl,and that a man

•IS?"

should fall in love with one is perfectly understandable. The really nice girl haa womanly ways. She is willing to mend a torn ooat, and shows that she is mistress of tbe needle and thimble when the result ia aeen. She Is willing to beat eggs or pound sugar when they ane ar ranging a basket for a picnic, and she is equally willing to read a chapter in the last new novel when her turn oomes. When they are getting up tableaux she isn't anxious to be tbe oentral figure and pose as Trilby, but she may be counted on to help the others and to take tbe position that Is oflered to her. But with it all she has an opinion of her own, and she is not simply to be made use of. She is the really nloe girl—

THE OIBL YOU AND I BOTH LOVE—-

who respects her father and mother and does her duty in the way of making life pleasant to everybody, wherevor she may be. She is the one you like to see gowned in white satin and orowned with orange blossoms as your son's bride. She la the best type of American girl. There are plenty of ber. You needn't to be oynloal and say you don't marry beoause you can't find a girl like this. You haven't hunted for her. She is climbing the mountains, rowing over tbe lake, swimming in the ocean, or dancing in the ballroom during these sttmmer days, and you oan find her If you look for her. She is the summer girl, the girl for all the year round, and she will make a good wife and a loving mother, on the word of BAB.

BERKSHIRE PEOPLE.

The Spiritual and Intellectual Forces Are Strong Among Them. And this region, so favored by nature, owes' much of its character and interest to its history as well. Settled later than the seaooast, the western part of the state -was in its beginnings made up of more varied elements tnan the eastern. From the valley of the Connecticut colonists pushed through the mountain gaps into that of the Housatonio the hills attracted settlers from the flat and sandy lands of Cape Cod, while the Duteh from New York have left in name and oharacter their impress upon the Berkshire people of today. Spiritual and intellectual forces were largely prominent in the laying of its foundations, and' such forces have contributed and continued their influences ever since.

Missionary" zeal, represented by such names as Eliot and Sargeant, founded Stockbridge. Jonathan Edwards here spent the years which represented the prime and fullness of his powers. Ephraim Williams, the fighter in the French and Indian war, dying on the battlefield left his fortune to plant and endow the college which bears his name. Mark Hopkins, Berkshire born and bred, another Arnold of Rugby, set his stamp upon a whole generation throughout its history soldiers, saints and scholars have both represented and impressed its life. The reasonings of Jonathan Edwards, which for good and evil have had so great an influence upon theological thought, found their most powerful expression in his treatise on tbe will, which was written while he lived in Stockbridge. Lenox heard the last public utterances of Charming his successor, Orville Dewey, born 100 years ago (1794) at Sheffield, long made that place his home, and there, too, were born the two Bamards, one the president of Columbia college, the other fee soldier scholar of our civil war. Oliver Wendell Holmes lived for years at Pittsfleld. Catharine Maria Sedgwick drew around her at. Stockbridge and Lenox a distinguished circle of the best literary society of our own country and many cultivated wanderers from the old world. Fanny Kemble here made for years her home. Longfellow, Lowell, Hawthorne, Herman Alelville, Beecher, Gk P. R. James, George William Curtis, Matthew Arnold and others lingerod among and loved the beauty of these hills, where j)lain living and high thinking have found noble expression in tbe past and where here and there they gtill survive, spite of the inflowing tide of wealth and luxury that floods the Berkshire of today.—Arthur Lawrence In Century.

Moore, minister of the Disciples church and member of the board of education of Springfield, O., was greeted with great enthusi ^m when sho was introduced as chairman of the last Ohio state Prohibition convention, a political honor never before assjgi.v to a woman. Men and women stood up waving hankerchiefs and cheering with might and main. During her address of nearly an hota she was frequently in terrupted by applause. The con ven turn passed a strong woman suifrage resolution.

INhAPABLE OF IMPERSONALITY.

An Alleged Falling That Ha» IcMrrei| Woman's Emancipation. The bond of fellowship which exists Detween man and ranu simply by virtue of a oommon sex is entirely absent between woman and woman. It is, in fact, replaced by a fundamental antagonism, a yague enmity which renders the general attitude of a feminine creature toward her kind essentially different from that of the male creature in identical relations. In individual cases this feeling is counteracted by affection or by sympathy, but apart from personal sentiment it remains, severing every living woman from the rest of ber sex. To a great extent this arises from woman's incapacity for impersonal feeling or abstract emotion. In life's fray she fights either for her own hand or, more often, for some one man or woman whom she loves, but rarely for the welfare of her sex at large.

Were it not for this strange lack of humanity in her nature, tbe emancipation of woman would not have been so grievously retarded. If the few women who suffered aforetime under the restrictions which hedged in their liberty had been able to count on the sympathy and cooperation of all women, the time of their, subjugation would have been enormously abbreviated. As it was, the first seekers after freedom met with more opposition from their own sex than they jlid from the other nor, indeed, do they fare better today. Enormous changes in*their social status were effected by an inoonsiderable minority of w&men brave enough and logical enough to impress the male powers that be with the justice of their demands. But for their courage they received no sympathy and for their success hot one word of thanks —nothing, in fact, but exeoration from the'huge inert feminine mass in whose servioe their strength was spent.—Saturday Review.

An 5ut of Door at Home.^|

A garden party fashionably conducted is an out of door "at home," with ameliorations. The stuffy, overcrowded rooms are absent at the summer function, and the time between coming and going is so brief and guests arrive so nearly at the same time that the hostess is on duty a much shorter time than when receiving under the house roof. Light refreshments only are served— ioes, cakes, punohes or lemonade, cafe an lait and the like. Salads and froids are oftener than not excluded from the menu. The host is expected to be in evidence, his absence being less excusableat the garden party than at the indoor "at home."

How Mrs. Carlisle Keeps Cool.

Mrs. Carlisle's prescription for enduring the heat is first of all not to worry or fret. Do all your work early in the day and try to find some light employment, either physical or mental, to keep your thoughts from the thermometer and how "awfully hot it is."

The wife of the secretary enjoys her home to the utmost. She has the house rid of many of the heavier hangings and thicker rugs as soon as the weather becomes oppressive. The large, airy rooms are clad as far as possible in oool summer attire, and the intense heat of the midday is shut out.—Washington Letter.

Hot weather proves depressing to those whose blood is poor. Such people should enrieh their blood with Hood's Sarea parllla.

Wonderful Strength of the Beetle.

#A' noted entomologist who has been "writing on the wonderful feats of strength as exhibited in the beetle family tells -the following: "I selected a common black water beetle weighing 4.2 grains and found that he was able to carry a load of shot in a small bag, the whole weighing 8% ounces, or exactly 858 times the weight of the bug. If a man "weighing 150 could carry as much accordingly he could shoulder a 45 ton looomotive and then chain a train of oars together and take the whole lot aoross the country at a five mile an hour gait."
