WOMAN’S WEAPON. “What is a woman’s weapon?” I asked a charming girl; She dropped her lashes shyly And stroked a vagrant curl; Then consciously she murmured— This rosebud newly out— “I have a strong suspicion Her weapon is a pout.” “What is a woman,s weapon?” I asked a lover true. He turned him to a maiden With eyes of heavenly blue, Her velvet lips were parted, All innocent of guile, And eagerly he answered: “Her weapon is a smile.” “What is a woman’s weapon?” I asked a poet then. With sudden inspiration He seized upon his pen. “Oh! I could name a thousand,” He cried in accents clear, “But woman’s surest weapon I grant you, is a tear.” —St. Louis Republic. J* TYTHEN the mad whir of midwinter gayety is on, Madam Grundy’s observant eye peers into many things, and Madam Grundy’s mental digestion sometimes brings about terrible nightmares over the enormity of some evils that exist right here at home. But, lest she offend, the madam "keeps her own counsel and says nothing until there comes a time when she may speak out, and that time has now come. There is nothing transpiring, so the social blunders here recorded cannot be those of Miss Debutante or of Madame WouldbeSomething. They are rather impressions which have taken material shape, or subjects thrust into the notice of the perceptive madame, accompanied by the request that she bring her pencil to its keenest point, and attack some of the social evils that exist. These requests have come from time to time and they have been preserved until the accumulation makes a formidable list. Upon the whole, we are a very nice set of folks. We are kind and hospitable, up to date and progressive, but once in a while we do forget ourselves and do that which offends the aspirant for a social Utopia. And then what a mighty Bedlam we do create. Everybody, like the quack doctor, is there with his lotion or powder to set the pa tient right, and everybody in his own imagination does smooth the ruffles and oil the roughness. Madame Grundy has just been talking to the girls—the dear creatures and they have told her many things in confidence which, as a matter of fact, insures publicity. Now she is going to tell the boys what the girls said. First of all, the boys must reverse their glasses and see from the opposite side. Where is the young man who does not take pride in pointing to a well dressed, trimly groomed young woman as the one whom he escorted? Have not girls the same pride? Indeed they have and yet they are forced to appear with a carelessly appareled man, linen coat poorly laundered, trousers to which starch is an unknown quantity, a wilted collar, unbuttoned vest and sometimes no cuffs. When did the Weather Clerk discriminate between the sexes? Is it not just as hot for the woman as for the man? And, if it is, should not the man present just as trim an appearance as he expects his companion to do? In summer affairs this negligence upon the part of the men is very pronounced. If they could hear the side remarks perhaps they would see to it that their linen was more presentable, and that their toilet at least gave evidence that some little attention had been bestowed upon it before going into the presence of ladies. This is something to think about. But this is not all. There are several partners who might be a little more punctilious in the ball room. What if you have danced with Miss Dewdrop a hundred times, all strangers do not know it, and what do j they think when they see you walk to a chair, grab the young lady out of it and waltz her off without even the courtesy of “by your leave.” It is true that a few rounds may be lost while the formality of a request is taking place, but what are a few notes of music to the compromise of a young lady’s dignity. All honor to the old days of Southern chivalry; may they never decay! A ball room represents the most composite element of society; so, no matter what the degree of friendship, the young woman should demand and the young man pay the most corteous and respectful treatment. The majority of adverse criticisms passed upon a young woman have their origin in the ball room and who should guard her more sacredly than the young men who are there with her, professedly as friends? So much for masculinity; is femininity all perfection? By no means. She is just as thoughtless, but in her own peculiar way. She goes to the ball and flirts behind the curtains of some window casement, deep in the mystery of coquettish glances, and utterly oblivious of the fact that she does not appear very graceful to the gazers below.. Sometimes she laughs a little too loud, and that makes the passer by look up in astonishment. In a note last week, Madame Grundy said amen to every word of Bab’s sermon to loud girls. They become the fast girls after awhile, and then the girls whom every one shuns for real, true, admired friends. The loud girl, too, forgets herself when riding along the street in the stillness of night. She is going home from her frolic all life and bubbling spirits, and she forgets that the world around her has been sleeping many hours. The other night tne telephone wires were crossed, and there came into a third party’s ear, “Don’t you think of bringing a carriage for me. It is only a short walk and such a beautiful moonlight night.” Now there was a sensible girl, and one that man was bound to appreciate, and, very likely, the amount of the hack hire was twice spent in other attentions. This cab system as it is indulged during the gay season is a social evil that sorely needs regulating. Why are dressing rooms and attendants provided, if not to replace the walking boots by the satin slippers, and why are evening cloaks the style, if not to protect the neck and shoulders? There is really something ridiculous about the young woman who owns not a sign of a vehicle, or who spends an entire afternoon strolling among the shops, feeling compelled to drive around the corner to a dance. The average escort in the South is not a millionaire, and the abuse of this cab practice drives him to one of two measures, to deny himself the pleasure of the ball room, or to leave his bills unpaid. What girl would like to be the author of either state of affairs? Night after night the cabs are called out, when, perhaps, a half dozen times a season their use is imperative. But, some one asks, who is to regulate the thing? Why, the girls, to be sure, Recall the conversation over the telephone. See how nicely the cab was dismissed. Let the girls once form a crusade against the habit, as it is now abused, and vanother season willfind escorts more plentiful, and no inconveniences, whatever, experienced." The weeks of hurry and skurry over the new in fashions has subsided, our trunks are packed, and we are off to seashore or mountain. The next turn in the world of fads is to burnish a bit upon etiquette, so that the smart affairs of early autumn may be given amid a dash of something new. It is taken for granted that somebody is to be married, for there always is in the crisp November days. If so, in sending wedding invitations to several members of the same family the outside envelope should be addressed to
