BAB'S LETTER.

_____

S! 4 Published, 1896, by the Bok Syndicate Press. Now York.] NEW YORK, May 27.1896.

I have always had a great admiration for that much lamented lady who, on her deathbed, confided to her doctor the secret of her popularity. She said, as she looked up at him with eyes overflowing with kind ness and love, "I always had patience with fools." I wonder how many kinds of fools she had met? They are all over the face of the earth, bat they differ. Did you ever look at a bunch of asparagus? One stalk is thick, one is thin, one is crinkled up, one is stubby, but they all have the same green •ends. That is the way with the fools. Although, between you and me, I don't think there is the same delight in a bunch of fools that there is in a bunch of asparagus. And yet, if you look at a fool from the standpoint of folly alone, there is a certain amount of pleasure in him. But if he happens to be mixed up in a business trans action, in a family affair, or in something that is going to hurt somebody's heart, then beware of the fool!

A (ool that too often appears in society is the jocular fool. He tells stories over which the grass grew hundreds of years ago. He tells stories of which he forgets the point. And, most devilish of all, there are times when even a fool seems to have an ability peculiar to the devil, he asks conundrums. With a giggle, he expects you to trouble yourself about them. For the jocular fool, the best hereafter would «?em to be a continual reading of the jokes of Joe Miller and the works of Mark Twain. Can there be anything more dreadful? To have to read Mark Twain at all is diabolical, but to read him forever and forever would be worse than any hell that Danta ever pictured. Next to the joking fool, comes

THE GU8HIN0 POOL.

This type may be either masculine or feminine. If it is feminine, and you are a woman, it kisses you, addresses you as Darling or Sweetheart, and calls on who--ever may be about to admire your virtues. If you happen to be masculine, this fool says, "Isn't he a great man? Did you ever hear anything so clever in all your life,

•out of crimp, until the perspiration is 'Htreaming down your face, and until you •are blowzy and look anything but like a •gentlewoman. Don't misunderstand me

I approve the out-door sports, but just as I (approve the indoor ones, in moderation. I am a temperate woman, not a prohibitionlist, but when I hear the athletlo fool talk of his golf stick, his tennis racquet, or his 'bike all day long, I am sure that his hereafter will be one of quiet meditation. He or if his sex is she, will have to lsarn the -delight of sitting still. By the bye this is essentially becoming to women, and I iwonder why more of them haven't found «out how attractive a perfect stillness is.

THK FOOL ON A BIKE

fool much more difficult to bear than any other kind. He gets a wild look in his face, and he gets to think that no people -except those on bicycles are worth consideration. If he happens to be a she, and some •other the says to her, "Oh, I saw such a •pretty gown," the bicycle fool says, "Do you wear bloomers or knickers under it?" She has forgotten all gowns except those that are to be worn astride the wheel, and, too often, she forgets all virtues that may be cultivated except those governed by the laws of the road and her special cycle club.

Among the

fools, one of the most of

fensive is the ladylike one. His clothes are immaculate his voice, even In speaking, is a tenor, and he does lovely drawn work, speaks of his mother as "Mamma," and likes the dear girls, oh! ever so much ^better than "the nasty men." I don't believe there is any hereafter for him. Honestly. I don't, because I don't think he has a soul. One of this class meta woman I know, and when she saw he was In deep mourning, she expressed her sympathy for any trouble he might have had. This was his response: "Yes my dear mamma is dead but, after all, I am not as unhappy as you would think, because I have the most lovely pajamas In white silk with black silk collars and cuffs, and I wear pearl links and pearl buttons with them." And the lady who had condoled with him wondered if a woman had brought this thing in the world, or whether it had grown up, like some other little weed, under a toadstool.

TURNING TLTK TABLES.

Then there Is the masculine fool. It Is a she. Nature created It a woman. Folly Is making it Imitate a man, with the result that a hybrid I# reached. Tight-fitting skirts, shirt collars and shirts like one's brother, coats made as near like a man's as possible, sailor hat In summer and a stiff felt one in winter, may make an imitation of a man, but it is a pretty poor one.

Women don't want it loose around the house, it is too much like a man men don't want to trouble themselves with it, since It is neither man nor woman. Its hereafter? Well, it will probably be thrown among a lot of athletic sinners, who will leer at it for being neither one thing nor the other.

There is the dressy fool—how do you like her? All her money is spent on clothes: she talks clothes, and she looks like a

One wonders If she has a

is generally a woman—book published. Probably she pays for it. Fools usually pay well for their pleasures. 7 THOSE TRIOLETS.

There is one fool who likes what she calls triolets. They read after this fashion. (By the bye, no fool can steal these, wrote them myself directly after the fool pattern):

I She called me a brute. Shall I call her a beauty? 'Twould seem but a duty

To call her a beauty. But I—I was mute, When she called me a brute. This sort of thing can be gotten off by the yard- Here is another: •She said. '*8hall I linger?"

He said, "Shall I stay? She looked like a beauty It seemed but my duty. I wanted to stay. She cocked up her finger. And said, "Shall I linger. I assure you, if anything, this is rather better than the average fool triolet, since you can, without trouble, picture to yourself a young woman cocking up the finger, that bore the best ring, while she wondered if she might hang around and spoon with something masculine.

Another style affected by the fool poet this summer is after this pattern. (I assure you, I am not a bit more given to using naughty words than these poets.) Oh, behold the depths of degradation in the

New York streets.

I got me in a trolly car, and hung, as always, on the strap. ..... I felt the smell, and said "Oh. hell, And then I knew that every odor under the blue skies came to me As I hung on the strap of the trolley car.

This is a good way off from Walt Whitman, I believe. It is not a difficult style, inasmuch as nothing need rhyme except the naughty words, and you can get no end of things to rhyme to—well, you know where Satan lives. Nothing particular rhymes to heaven except eleven, and you can't always work that in, but fool poetry can be run out by the yard, and that is the way publishers buy it. The fool poet is not altogether the fool that he or she looks, far once the poetry is fully arranged it is dedicated to some other fool who buys no end of copies and sends them to his friends.

Then, there is another fool— THE BARROOM FOOL. He hangs around first one and then another public house bar until it would seem

saw?" An eternal kick awaits this fool. -v-" Next in order comes the athletic fool, He or she spends the greater part of the money possessed in getting golf suits, ten•nis suits, or bicycle suits. That you •shouldn't play golf or tennis or ride the bike is a surprise to the athletic fool. That yon should care, on a sunshlnny day, for a pleasant corner of the piazza, and an Interesting book, is something not understood by the athletic fool, who expects .you to come out in the sun and work at ,yuu wuic uuu iu vuv ouu «v arm it, auu it tu uic wau IL iwwn tbe chosen enjoyment until your hair is don't want to drink with you to be chum-

jf hjs abiding place was within the

sound of the ice-pick and the jubilation of the syphon. He will drink, and drink, and drink—at somebody else's expense. And he is called a popular man and a good fellow. By the bye, I heard something rather hard on the Americans the other day. An Englishman said to me, "I asked a fellow to take a drink with me, and he said he would prefer a cigar. Now, I asked him to take a drink for sociability I didn't invite him to take a smoke or the price of a drink, and it seems to me that if a fellow

to refuse. If he asks for

something else than that which you offered him, it would be just as sensible for him to say that he would take a porous plaster, or a dose of castor oil, or a new handherchief, or a new scarf, or even the quarter itself." That is where women are ahead of men. When you ask a woman ta have cup of tea, she either takes it or lets it alone, but she doesn't say, "No, I don't care for any tea, but I will take the value in needles, or sewing silk, or anew braid for the bottom of my skirt." The tea and the drink both represent sociability, and the guest has no right to suggest a substitute for what is offered as hospitality. I can imagine that anybody reading this would count me more or less a wicked woman, since I seem to know about treats and barrooms my knowledge has come from men.

BAB 18 FOR TEMPERANCE.

Personally, I am a believer In temperance, but I think people ought to be just as temperate with their words as with their wine, and just as temperate in their judgments as with their tea. Green tea, taken strong, has done as much harm, if not more, than whiskey. And yet, how good a cup of tea is—of good tea of that kind of tea that, when the hot water Is put on it, sends up a fragrance like a thanksgiving a liquid without the crudeness of the green tea, and without the bitterness of the black tea, Is tea pure and simple, amber in color, exquisite of taste and bracing in effect. This kind of tea has no bad aftertime. And so many of our pleasures have! If you dance all night until broad daylight and go home with the girls in the morning, your head, not your heels, aches dreadfully, and the figures In the day book waits In the queerest sort of fashion. I you commence to play cards at 10 o'clock and don't stop until the chimes of the milkman are heard, you are too apt to be left with one pink chip and no money for the matinee. If you have an entrancing book and read until the late night and the early morning meet, how peculiar one's eyes feel the next day. If you eat lobster and soft shell crabs, and chicken, and asparagus, and strawberries, that nice way in whipped cream, and almond cakes and a few sweets, and a little more fruit, yon like it, but ohl how much better does your doctor like it, and how rapidly does your bill at the druggist's run up. There is no pleasure in life that is a pleasure all the way through unless it Is temperately taken. Oh, I know as well as you do that there is always a time when we are intemperate with everything.

"Fancy cotton waists are of cotton and silk craped goods, silk gingham, organdy, dotted Swiss, dimity, etc.," writes Emma M. Hooper in Ladies' Home Journal. "They are tmlined, with a re-enforcement of the same goods around the armholes, or with a lining of plain lawn of the predominating color. One of the silk and cotton crapes of an ecru ground, with dark pink roses and green leaves, was lined with a deep pink lawn, which gave a rosy tinge to the entire garment. It had only side and shoulder seams and was shirred at the neck and waist line, back and front Instead of a drawing string half inch white elastic was run around the waist line in a casing, which kept the waist down and allowed the person wearing it to move the fullness as it should be when the garment was on. "The sleeves were the full, straight bishop shape, with a cuff 4 inches deeps. The high collar was 2 inches deep when finished. The trimming consisted of No. 9 green satin ribbon laid over No. 12 pink for a band collar with bow at back, a row on the cuffs, with bow belt and bow and bretelles back and front, from waist line to shoulder, with a bow at the latter part A ruffle of two inch lace was sewed thickly around the inside of the collar and allowed to stand out all around. This waist required eight yards of each ribbon, a yard of lace, five yards of crape and four yards of 80 inch lawn, and was suitable for all summer visiting demi evening toilet wear."

Little Janet, aged 4, noticed the other day at dinner the rest of the family helping themselves liberally to the mustard.

Nobody offering her any, she waited until something drew away the attention of the others, when she lifted the mustard spoon, liberally daubed a piece of bread which she was eating with the fiery condiment and took a substantial bite.

Her hand immediately went up io her burned mouth but, bravely suppressing an outcry, she put the bread away, remarking: 'I think Ml wait till t&lat jelly gets cold."—Pearson's Weekly.

A SHY DANCER.

Stories Told by Westerners of the Antics of the Sand Hill Crane. The sand hill crane is a very bright bird. A Recreation writer says that its very name is synonymous of vigilance and alertness. It feeds on the treeless plains or in the barren wheat stubble, •where it can see along way beyond gunshot, or one of a flock is posted as sentinel, and this bird stands with bill half open, ready to give an alarm. It can be killed by decoying it with pasteboard figures cut to proper size and shape and painted, but mounted birds are better. A pit is dug deep enough to oonceal a man, the decoys are put out, and the cranes are shot as they come over. The best region to shoot them is in the Columbia river watershed and south of it in the Pacific coast states.

When one shoots a bird of the size and build of a crane in midair, it collapses, like a card house or a tent But such apparent collapses are sometimes deceptive, as, for instance: "Before I could reach him he soared off into the air with wheeling flight. Again he hit the ground with fearful violence, but again he got on his feet Running up, thinking to get him alive for a decoy, I tried to tap him on the head and stun him. He showed fight, and I used my gun as I backed off, a_d he took to his wings."

The sand hill crane is something of a fighter of men if wounded, and the only safe crane is a dead one. Their bills are long and sharp and are capable of putting out a man's eye.

The sand hill crane has some curious habits that make him of more than passing interest to the student of birds. Ottt on the prairies parties of them have balls in the spring, to which the select birds seem to be invited. These balls are picturesque affairs. from the human standpoint There are curious dances, which are sort o' solitary waltzes or pretty slow jigs. Sometimes the birds leap over one another's backs and flap their wings, giving their peculiar cry. Sometimes rival birds have fierce duels, usiirj theirkeen bills like lances, battleax 3 and swords. ij*

The journey occupies about ten hours, through the most beautiful mountain scenery in the South passing near Perryville, Richmond, Ky., Mill Springs, and other battlefields, crossing the Cumberland River at Point Burnside, where Gen'l Burnside had his base of supplies, and crossing (further south) under Walden's Ridge, over Chickamauga Creek across

Her Hand.

The czarina of Russia has decreed that several obsolete forms of Russian court etiquette are to be revived, and the result will probably be the introduction of several striking and picturesque customs. Her imperial majesty has also ordained that all ladies received by her shall kiss her hand, presentations being made after the English fashion. This is rather a blow to the Russian ladies, who infinitely preferred Dowager Empress Maria Feodorowna's gracious manner of dispensing with the more ceremonious hand kiss and bestow* ing a friendly shake instead.
