EQMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG THE WOMEN. BY ONE OF THEM. The new-woman'may be as black as male fancy paints her, but one benefi- cent use she has had—she has given us old» maids a rest, says a bright writer. ’Tis an ill wind that blows nobody good, and the good'she has blOwn up is a holiday from the caricaturist. Whoever you are and whateverliyou think, oh, readers, male and married ones, on the subject of old maids, it is safe'to affirm that you "are wrong. It iszonot in the male or in married hu- man nature to admit the real reasons ofcur celibacy. I know, and you know, that in each Of’you is the ineradicable conviction that spinsterhood is the brand of fe- male ifailurerold maids have always struckyou'as just the residuum strained off. by natural selection from the mass of"; the I marriageable—those, so to speak. who, in the competitive candi- dature for poses matrimonial, shave some out at the bottom of the list. No fault of their own, poor souls, but justinfe‘riority of sex attractiveness, which is, of course, what solely deter- mines a woman’s place.,0n .the hither or thither side of matrimony. Of this sex attractiveness man is judge, and with unction he performs his oflice. Marriage, I assert, is‘ no test of sex attractiveness whatever, but only of .Ifiavoring circumstance. When Fortune is tired of turning her wheel she seems 'toramuse herself by tossing up for who are, to be paired and who left over. We are not just the inevitable rem- nant "resulting from monogamic insti- tutions and the overplus of our sex—- not the consequence of supply exceed- ing demand (that fact explains, indeed, the! spinsters must be, but not why we must be spinsters.) Of love we have received our full share, nor have we failed in any of the :Mt‘ellidalities of wife and motherhood. NOEE’IDSEESO ,explicable and definable ac- counts for us. _ i We are as we are-inst because it has so happened, ffifnpwere counters in Eontune’s gamepirlrazard; she knew not herself whether She was to win or hose, with us.“ . The: basis of selection is no quality,,in the person chosen, but merely accident. Look facts straight in the face. Be- yond that of marriage, what is there to distinguish, thewedded from the un- wedded 3. Nothing. What characteristic is ' there per- manently presentin the one and not flip. the .other‘i, .None. There are ehmswish .wives and shre wish spinsters; jolly, matrgns .and and jolly maiden aunts; doting mothers and doting celibate adorers of pets, four-footed and feathered. Some of both classes are pretty, some plain. ‘. How often one hearsit whispered of a bride: “There’s no accounting for taste,” how often of a white-haired :naiden:“They say she was once a great jbelle.” We are neither worse nor better than other women. In Cupid’s eyes, I main- isain, we are the same. Love, I grant, Is a test of sex attractiveness, but love Eanot marriage. . ' M. fluffy/cad 02/! gas. Feminine Chat. Winter draperies that are still up must be watched carefully lest the gay moth coquets with them. Eventhe laundry bag has been glori- fied until it is now a really ornamental object in any room. The denim pillow in all hues and , shapes is found both in the drawing room and in the hammock. A plaster. of Paris jacket is a loose. shawl in comparison with the high and tight collars some women wear.- The narrow white leather belt is very summery, but not pretty when the skirt has slipped away beneath it. Is there any sensation quite so de- lightful as that which a girl experi- ences .when she dons her first long gown ? ‘ A bit of black velvet instead of the usual red cloth on a desk is a very ef- fective background for paper and en- velopes. ’ A gold. purse with a little blue enamel watch set in the centre is an extravagance that any woman would condone. “A Dandelion Tea” is horribly sug- ~ gestive of herb concoct1ons whose great recommendation is that they will do us good. Really very choice artificial roses cost only twenty-five cents a cluster. A for half‘a dollar. When traveling some good cologne is wonderfully refreshing when ap- plied to the temples and wrists. ' The linen petticoat is in much better taste under a linen gown than the handsomest white one ever turned out. Until a woman receives an itemized bill she will never believe she has spent so much money on her charge account. ‘AA A “ Darien and N oroton.
