fc BAB'S LETTER.

•I Published, 1896, by the Bok Syndicate Press ,'*/ ,/* '^3 New York.] ^NEW YOBK, April 30,1896.

On very cold days in winter we sing a hymn describing the joys of heaven as £tv consisting principally of never-ending music and summer weather. The writer }f -of that hymn never lived in New York.

Summer weather in New York means sun ,, on both sides of the street it means absolutely no getting away from the fiery rays, and it means general depravity. The only reason why every one of as doesn't kill his neighbor during the hot days is because some exertion would be required, and ,,, then, too, the blood would look hot. That is the only why-for. When tae thermom eter is at ninety-five in the shade, every man is every man's enemy, and every woman hates every woman with an in tensity that can only be appreciated by

Satan. The messenger boy who answers your call has his cap cocked on the back of his head, and exudes heat. He quarrels with you about the tariff, and presents of oranges or apples have no effect on him. The book may say one thing, but he says another and he is grumpy and disagreeable, doubts your being a perfect lady, ayd fully believes that the place of punishment intended for people who want errands.run is Hot, spelled with a capital H. The elderly lady who walks Broadway, with a tiny black silk parasol between her aijd the sunshine, wonders that she feels no. .wicket}. Her broad back is covered with blackalpaca and all black materials absolutely seduce sun rays to come and rest upon them. She wears mitts, and goes intd the big shops, retires to the ladtes' parlor, so that she may have an oprfortnrrifcy' to use her starch bag. She doesn't believe in "boughten powder." Her mode of preparing the cooling stuff isj to b'rt'ng thfti starch with a potatomasher Until ft is a fine powder, and pour Flrtrida water'over it, and then, when it is di*y, put it in a flannel bag. This is her refuge in trouble. When the perspiration streams flown her face, she stops the liquid warmth by dabs with the starch bfig, and she looks, after she has used the slArch t»Ag without mirror, like a study in'red and white, the ml underlying the wBfte', while the white rapidly becomes lumpy! 'She would lose her complexion altogether, bat when she gets home, limp, and with n& faith th' anything, with a dotibt even as to the truth of the Westminster Catechism, she takes a cup of hot tea to brace her up this brings about a profiHe perspiration, a perspiration which amounts to a rainstorm, and the dear old sortl is saved mentally ahft morally, while she drips.

Talk about women being slaves of fashion that's nohseiise. POor,' .benighted man doesn't dare put on a straw hat, no mattir how hot the. weather is, uptll a certain date has come about And the consequence is that poor, benighted man is hfct. Hot with a vengeance. Hot as the lionest worker In melodrama. Hot in stich a way that he makes everybody in his home more uncomfortable. 'The family wonder what is the matter with father. This is the matter. As father is a fool, like most other men, he does not suit his clothVs to the thermometer, and he is, wearing a Stiff, shirt, a h«avy waistcoat, equally heavy, trousers, an ordiiiary winter coat and a high silk hat.

ranged. Stiff collars will grow limp, satin stocks lose all their dignity, and frills of lace have a droopy look that is demoralizing. The woman of fashion prefers the cold weather.

THE BABIES SUFFER.

I will tell you who are to be pitied these hot days—the babies. The poor little mites are swathed in flannel and folded in huge cloaks, not allowed to hear because of thick silk caps, and not allowed to breathe because of thick lace veils. Those baby lips would so like a sip of water, and they cannot ask for it. 11 they cry, nine times out of ten they are banged on the back and jolted up and down until they are almost. ready for infantile insane asylums. If they fairly yell in their desire for a cooling drink, nine more times out of the proverbial ten the end of a long black tube is poked in their mouths, and they suck up a liquid that is half warm and half sour, and bound to bring pains where pains are most unpleasant to a baby. Nobody ever thinks a baby is thirsty except for food nobody ever thinks that, when the thermometer is at ninety, three flannel petticoats are too much for even a baby. Do you suppose that a baby likes to have its lower flannel petticoat lapped over and buttoned so that it doesn't control its legs? I wish a society for the proper dressing of babies in warm weather could be started such a society would be of a great deal more importance than one that lends pictures or gives flowers to the dwellers in tenement houses.

There is a deal of sickly sentimentality about this lending of pictures to the poor. Give them outright, or else don't send them at all. If I lived in two rooms, and happened to be the mother of seven small children, fathered by a man who earned fourteen dollars a week, and I had a picture of "La Glaconda" hanging before me, I would get up and smash it without regard to its owner. That eternal smile may be artistic and mystic and non-un-derstandable, but it is exasperating to the last degree. To grin, and grin, and grin, and never cease to grin, is a very objectionable thing to do. Then, on a warm day, when the family dinner was to consist of corned beef and cabbage, and the baby was crying with the colic, and two of the children were groaning with pain as natural result of eating unripe fruit, what joy would come to a woman, or what rest, from gazing at the "Huguenot Lovers?" They look so cool that any woman who was warm and who smelt the healthful but not delicate odor of cabbage and corned beef, would want them to go, even in a picture, dow'n, down, down to where it was warmer even than in that kitchen, and where the heat would increase forever and forever.

WUKRE THE POOR DWELL.

When the thermometer is at ninety, ho'v can you call those places homes where the workingmen live? The wife takes no interest in anything except hanging out of the window, or over the fire escape, gossiping with her neighbors and indulging in an occasional glass of beer the children lie around and fight death. There is no knowledge of the different kinds of food that a dinner may be cheap, good and yet cool never enters the head of the woman. That cleanliness and coolness are almost synonomous is unknown. The chances Are that before her marriage the wife was household servant. She spent all her money in clothes, and she is ignorant of everything that she should know. Econoltay in preparing the food, a little care to its presentation, and a little thought as to fclie'rooms themselves, never come to her. She is always untidy looking, she is always •hotj and she is always ready for a quarrel. 'She takes no interest in anything, except fhedreadful crimes of the day as they are told in the! most vulgar of newspapers. She'lRces those newspapers that are, really, collies'for crime. The boy who stole a bun yeatefd&y because he was hungry, is -taught by Isuch newspapers how to rob his employer to-morrow, and how to break a bank the rierit- day.

one, but that is easily gotten rid of. It doesn't come to stay it will disappear when acquaintance is made with warm water, good soap and a wash cloth. Not one of those hard-knitted things, nor one of those dreadful brushes, but an old piece of rtftjwimk that is soft and pliable, and doesn't treat your skin as if it were parchment. There are a good many things to think of, even when one is quite willing to be clean. There is cheap soap—I mean that which is strongly perfumed—let it alone. Use in its place a good plain soap that has no perfume except that of cleanliness. Don't be mean with the water, and remember that the fountain of eternal youth is really, after all, in the bathtub.

Who invented thermometers? Satan, I am sure. Nobody else would have had the art, when you feel uncomfortable, mussy, warm, cross, and certain that it is a hundred and two, to have that horrid thing mark it only eighty-seven. It is hard to pray in summer time, but here is a fervent prayer: "From too much heat and all its attendant evils, -good Lord deliver BAB.

He—"Dangerous' Well, I guess it was. There is no experience a young officer has that is more trying than that.

There is nothing festive about them, and they are beautiful to behold.

Spangles, though not nevr of themselves, are decidedly the new note in needlework. The inartistic worker should be cautious in their use, as there is a decided tendency to overdo ornamentation in this respect They should be put here and there in a pattern to please by their unexpected glitter rather than be massed in solid crusts of brilliancy. Some new shapes announoed are, first, the Trilby spangles, which are starlike in shape, and are shown in many hues, though in only three variations of shape. Satin spangles are also new tmd very pretty, and repeat themselves in dozens of lovely hues. Some convex spangles are very effective, catching the light and flashing with great brilliancy, and some round, concave ones are used with black paillettes and white beads in remarkable simulation of jewels. The variety of spangles is bewildering and their use in all sorts of needlework more popular than ever. They have invaded ribbons as well, and on such in belts, sash ends and vests area fascinating novelty. —New York Timea

And I believe my family has been the better for the change."
