EVE’S RAMBLINGS.
COMMENT AND GOSSIP AMONG

THE WOMEN, BY ONE
OF THEM.

 

 

*Can there be anything more uncom-
ifortable and embarrassing for a guest
rrthan to be entertained by a restless,
Lfussy hostess, or for the latter to have
> to entertain the same sort of a guest.

And yet how often has this to be
done, for there are numbers of women
.v.‘ ho seem to have an idea that it is a
Sign of good manners to show friendlii
Hess and hospitality by continual bustle
and movement.

Sometimes this want of restfulness is
caused by shyness and nervousness,
occasionally from ignorance Of what to
do and say in society that arises from

. inexperience.

-‘Sometimes, alas! it is the nature of
.the woman to fidget and fuss, to press
: all sorts of attentions upon her visitor,
ito beg them to do this thing or that,
;. generally the very things that they
vwould infinitely prefer not to do, and
insist upon their leaving undone those
very things that they would like to do;
and all this is done in what she imagines

to be the true spirit of hospitality.

'They mean so well, these active,
restless, kindly-intentioned women;
but, oh, how dreadfully fatiguing they
are to live with or to have much to do
.with.

‘The .worst of it is that it is their
nature to fuss—they never realize what
atrial they are to their friends and
._relatives, and, being quite satisfied
with ,themselvesdt is hOpeless to expect
~‘a them to alter their habits.

When, however, the habit is the re-
' ‘sult of either shyness, nervousness or
inexperience it can, and really ought
to, be, fought against and overcome.

A fussy woman can never be called
.awell-mannered one; she has no re-
,pose, no dignity, none of thatwell-bred
i-calmness which is so, admirable in a
woman, none of that gracious and
sifriendly' courtesy that So Speedily " and
«completely‘sets strangers at ease.

Good-natured, and desirous to please
and give pleasure, anxious to do her
duty as wife, mother and mistress, she
is yet rarely successful, for a fussy
woman is seldom an observant one, be-
ing always too busy to notice whether
those. around her are pleased or an-
noyed until they speak out plainly and
express their feelings in' words.

Then she is sorry, but not for them
so much-as herself, for has ‘she not
fussed and; bothered, worked and
slaved, worn herself out in their ser-
vice, and for reward gets only ingrati-
.tude ?

The truth is that she cannot under-
stand the charm and peace most people
find in being occasionally left alone,
«allowed to go their own way, to follow
their own inclinations without remark
«or remonstrance.

Although it may be very kindly
meant, it is certainly a bore to be al-
ways advised and told what one ought
.to do, where to go and ‘what to take,

- .and such kindness is apt to pall after a
time and-the recipient of it to grow
restive and cross.

To the casual visitor and mere ac-
quaintance, the fussy man or woman is
..a bore, perhaps, but of whom they are
~«tolerant because of their good nature,
’ztheir Obvious friendliness and des1re to
be hospitable.

It is only'the family and intimate
friends who feel the real discomfort
and misery. that can be caused by their
excess of zeal and continued interfer-
ence in every little matter that con-
cerns the daily life and doings of those

.around them.

Feminine Chat.

A writ of attachment is called a legal
'-‘billet doux.
It is so easy to apply philosophy to the
ills of others. .
NO woman can be too grateful for the
.friendship of a good man. -
It is easy enough to say bright things
‘—the trouble is to think them.
A man’s fashion magazine is the
latest. addition to up-to-date literature.
Some of the new capes contain a
sorrowful suggestion of the .return of
the shawl.
The person whose conscience does
not trouble him or her at twilight
Ahasn’t any. -
One great test of, a man’s devotion

 

 

 

to a «woman is when he cleans her wheel
for her. » ' . .

The novice at the golf links was
heard to Observe that she thought it
would be better with a band.

. Now the furnace fire instead of the
refrigerator will be soon' giving the
housewife cause for worry.

Summer flirtatious lead to marriage
most frequently after one or both Of
the parties have obtained a divorce.
Often a woman gives away her heart

for another and then discovers when

too late that the latter is a misfit.

Some women select such wild fabrics
for their frocks that one must believe
they go to the upholsterers for them.

An accident insurance policy is rare-
ly held by anyone, save those who die
from old age, with never a single toe
stub their whole life long.

A man isn’t very much in love Wth
the girl who offers to mend. his gloves
when he has the nerve to tell her she
had better darn her father’s socks.

The woman to whom black is not be-
coming never mourns quite as long as
does her friend who finds sombre hues
especially suited toher style of beauty.

The suburban householder generally
carries home Of an evening two pack-
ages, one the meat for dinner and the
other sundry new forms of burglar~
frightening devices.

In these days, when a telegram is so
much easier to send than a letter, no
one thinks anything of being awakened
in the middle of the night to receive
the information that a friend is coming
on a visit next week.

The ingenuous method employed by
our English cousins in their advertise-
ments is rather amusing to American
minds, particularly when a woman in-
quires “Will anyone exchange a par-
rot for a gray velVet bonnet, slightly
math-eaten?” .

The T’rim'inea Skirt.

The trimmed skirt appears to ad-
vance more rapidly and more generally
in favor than the draped or overskirted
styles. There; are more overskirt et-
lects, simulated by various modes at
adjusting frills, 1311111188. flounces.
ruches, and other fashionable garni-
tures, than there are genuine double
skirts. Panels of silk or 0! another
fabric introduced on either side of the
front of a skirt or princesse , di'ess
make a very effective and becoming
trimming for short women, a far bet.

‘ter arrangement than any trill or

flounce going round and round the
skirt, as the panels at each side add not
a little to the appearance 'of height.
