EQMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG THE WOMEN, BY ONE OF THEM. The .“born gentleman’? seems to be a creature of another generation as will be observed by the conduct of the men of the present generation. A‘keen observer of th'e manners of man, with whom I was talking the Other day commented upon the youth of'the present time and the compari- sons that, were. drawn were not flatter- ring; ._ Oi-fcourse as with everything else thei e are exceptions totthe general rule, and now and then a young man of ex- cellent address and irreproachable hearing will be nOticed among others in his class——and he is noticed—his re- fined breeding is appreciated. la: HOW often We hear it exclaimed of an old gentleman with his snowy‘ white hair and beard and his fine eyht, “There’ s a gentleman of the old school.” Yes, the old school is greatly admii ed and, the possession of the Com teous manner of that school is a charm of which. many ”are envious—however, thou-e are few’who would strive to cul- tivate it. The world of tO-day will not wait for you. You must be forward - and aggressive to hold your own; the consequence is that the mildness of manner and consideration for others is impossible and entirely lost sight of in the rush. The young man of to-day looks upon his young girl acquaintances more as comrades—perhaps that fact makes the girls more comfortable and happier than'if otherwise. She is bound to take care‘of herself and yet with it all she appreciates small offices performed for her comfort. ’ The young man seems to think the . sum and substance Of- the word polite- ness consists only of tipping his hat to his friends, sometimes taking it Off and extending his arm as far out as its length will permit—nothing else counts in his estimation. Sometimes even this little mark of respect is omitted. Now as a matter of fact. girls like to heindependent; they like to be, out- spoken; they enjoy being consulted; they want to enjoy the some sports as the boys do without being‘hampered by conventional notions; and what seems curious too but nevertheless true they demand consideiatiOu Things in life are changing and I suppose though we lament the 1eversed positions we cannot help but rejoice at the emancipation of women from the bondage ”of cOnventionalities which fettered her in days gone by. It is only to be expected thata young girl has not—cannot have—much ex- perience, if any, of the various little social duties that are required of and from a married woman. ' ' aziarge family, and has lived a quiet country life, with the simple round of interests and amusements that consti- tute the society of so many country - places. ‘ Naturally, therefore, she must feel , somewhat at a loss what exactly to do l , when called upon, without any spemal training or experience, to not only order a household, but to receive guests, return visits, and act the part of hostess to people who are probably one and all absolute strangers to her. For in most cases the young wife not only leaves the old home, but even' its neighborhood, and begins her new life among neighbors of whose very names she has hitherto been ignorant, but with whom, of course, she hopes and wishes to live on friendly terms. Often, too, this very desire to like and to be liked has the effect of making a girl shy and nervous, and therefore ,she does not show herself off to the best advantage, for to do this a person must feel at ease, and be sure Of her- self and of what is the right thing to do and say, a confidence which a few people have by nature, but which comes to mosgof us only with time and experience. She has perhaps been a member Of' When the husband, as is generally the case, has business or work that oc- cupies him during the day, the young wife will naturally at first find it a lit- tle bit dull and lonesome to be left all day to her own company and devices; but it never does to let this feeling grow upon one, or to let it become a grievance and source Of trouble. It is what most young meet at the beginning of their new life, and for their ownsakes must over- come. The only way in which she can do this is to find or make an occupation for ' herself. Avoid idleness, is the . best advice that can be given to or taken by a young wife, for work is the Only real talisman against boredom, ennui and hysteria. M gag/éei a/guc. Feminine Chat. The renewal of a broken friendship is a pure joy. There is but a wee line of division between country gossip and downright slander. The loveliest voice in the world loses its music after you quarrel with the person to whom it belongs. If men were only half as perfect as they think themselves this world would be away ahead of Heaven. It is a great virtue to forgive your enemies, but it is oftentimes a greater one to forgive your friends. In praising the pen’s superiority over the sword no one ever thinks of putting in a good word for the ink. Books dealing with the subject of Polar expeditions are especially good reading on these days of humidity. Life holds nothing much more har- rowing than to know that someone we love is ill and we cannot go to them. The golf player who hasn’t at some time or other made the remark about. “linked sweetness long "drown out”, isn’t half an enthusiast ' When the wai is over will the foot- ball man regain his pedeStal, or will .the soldier laddies step into the place of honor in the affections of the winter girl? The1 e is no person living who doesn’t fondly believe that either he or. she was a remarkably beautiful infant. , It would seem‘ that the punctual people in this world waste a lot Of time ' Waiting for those who are not punctual. A real man can never describe the way that a woman is diessed so' that another woman can get any idea Of her toillette. Don’ t get the notion into your head that curl papers and slippers run down at the heel make you feel the. heat less fO101bly How many people _._are ' interested listeners when they a1e doing the talk- ing, but me not such good ones when you a1e doing it. The woman whose hair is nOt natural- ly 0m 1y takes pains to info'i hi you hOW much better looking she is in winter than in summe1 TO RENT. '1‘0 RENT—A large hall in the GA-. ZETTE Building.
