EVE’S RAMBLINGS.
EOMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG
THE WOMEN. BY ONE
OF THEM.
A woman of the world typifies to
most people one whose social experi-
ences have been so varied in character
and so extensive that she has become
past mistress in etiquette, her highest
achievement being her ability to carry
off awkward situations with grace and
distinction.
A: thorough woman Of the world, is,
however, much more than an animated
guide. book of fashionable behavior.
Th‘fbnghtlnat bitterest of schools, ex-
perienceLShe comes, to know' mankind
as it actually is, stripped of its masks
and its‘conventions, and whileshe may
not echo. to the full the dreary refrain '
Of the-old psalmist, all is vanity, she
.hasazome gradually to realize the well-
nigh absolute Unreliability of the hu-
man being.
Frequently without intention, but
under the influence of vanity, or pique,
org-je‘elousy,‘ the disloyal comment is
made, or the treachery =is' perpetrated
and the trusting friend is cruelly
wounded; not so the woman of the
world.
Redizing as she does that self‘inter-
est- is the incentive of most human
actions, she has ceased to be surprised
at any. possible happening, and she en-
dures with equanimity revelations of
'human baseness and human vanity that
crucify the souls of the unsophisticated
and the 111 Listing.
Sh'c canndt escape becoming some-
thing of a cynic, but her- cynicism is of
the wary rather than the embittered
variety.
And although in the game of life she
guards againSt being caught napping,
she’be'ars no malice toward those who
try to advantage themselves at her
expense, nor does she th1ow over even
the f1iend, who has shown him or her-
self unwo1thy undez some special cir-
cumstances.
Bettera lukewarm friend than an
avowed enemy, and the woman of the
world makes the, best of a situation
which a less experienced woman or an.
undisciplined one would make the‘
occasion of a quarrel.
The woman of the world , takes
hilmanity as she finds it, and as she is
without illusions, and an adept at keep-
ing her own counsel, she and humanity
get along capltally together.
Some people say good looks don’t
matter, but they don’ t believe it. Looks
do ma. .ter,a a.nd matter very much, and
the woman who does not care about her
appearance and to make herself pleas-
frog in the eyes Of others is no true
woman.
Most women have an inate love of
the beautiful, which makes them care-
ful for their own sakes to look as nice
as they can; but even supposing that in
some this feeling does not exist, they
are not exempt from tne duty of mak-
ing the best of themselves.
It is pleasant and adds to the sum to—
tal Of the happiness of'society to see
beauty, and, therefore, for the sake of
filers, we ought to strive after it.
Expensive, or even fashionable,
clothes are not within the range of
everybody. but neatness and daintiness
are, and after all is said and done, dress
only contributes to beauty, and does
not make it.
Culture and education are important
Rotors in the making of beauty. In-
deed, a gently reared, refined and in-
telligent girl can hardly fail to be
pleasant looking, in spite of lacking
any real beauty of feature.
The training of the mind‘ is an im-
mense aid to beauty, and thus one often
sees in girls who have been taken from
surroundings _Where they were intel-
hectually starved and where they had a
dull, heavy look, much the reverse of
Qeasing. .
Placed in refined surroundings and
given intellectual advantages, even the
plainest of them acquires a grace and
dignity and brightness which are per-
fectly transforming and reveal a beauty
hitherto unsuspected.

Will this heat never let up ‘9
Some men resemble dice,
rattled and hard to 'shake. . .
' We always lose the article of which
we think the most.
To be on the safe side, follow a-man’s
easily
, advice rather than his example.
One has a keener sense of loss over
one dollar lost than over twenty spent.
To appreciate absorption watch a
woman who is examining her face in a
hand mirror.
To understand what it is to be thor-
oughly bored fall into the habit Of talk-
ing to yourself. ,
A woman never seeks out a girlhood
acquaintance unless she thinks she has
kept her age remarkably well.
The surest way to make an individual
forget that he or she ever professed
friendliness. for you is to ask a favor of
him or her.
. When the necessity arises for closing
all the window's 1n the train the travel-
ing public realizes something Of what
it must mean to be cremated.
The minute a man lets a woman see
that he is trying to humor her he
might just as well give up all hope of
having any amicable relations with
her.
Aren’t women the most helpless Ein-
dividuals when the condition of the
streets demand that they carry their
umbrellas and raise their gowns at the
same time ?
The woman cashier’s ,life is not a
happy one, particularly when she has
to be shut up in this weather in one Of
those little glass cages by courtesy
called her desk. _
What a lot of absolute torture we en-
dure in the name of pleasure—for in~
stance, paying for toboggan slide rides
and a toss-up on that painful invention
known as the “razzle-dazzle.”
