THE NEW WOMAN:
I had hear! erf a wonderful woman,
A woman the people cull "new."
I dKeaulr.oJ to s.vk tind to Hurt her.
And Warn for mysiif if 'twere true.
That she wti more brave, wise and gentle
That women -before hor ha J bceu
Wherein t-lie exceeded all otiit-rj
In winning such notice from iiien.
I sought for her first In home circle.
bu-t lliero I could find nothing new;
Craji.lmothe.rs in art of home making
Had been a successful and true.
I sought tier where throng had assom-
Whoro voices runs high In applause,
Whero men spoke of virtues 01 women
And lauded her wonocrful "cause."
Not here did I And 'the new woman.
For men had sung songs in her praiso,
And borne Hashing steel to defend her
In fur away chlvalric days.
I soueht iior In courts of high splendor,
In banquets of mirth and of song.
Would I llnd her here blazing with dia
monds. In the midst or a worshipful throng?
Kay, woman has led at the banquet
Since Anthony fell at her power.
And woman has thrilled by her singing
Since Miriam's 'triumphal hour.
Then where can I llnd the new woman?
Alas! I must give up the quest.
The hand of disease has disabled
And I am commanded to rest.
On hospital couch as I ponder
Th wourlsomo hours to bngulle,
I paint tho new woman nnd wonder
Will the helpless become as a child?
A gentle one minister to mo
Most watchful each want to perceive,
With cheery and hopeful word ever
My burden, of caro to relieve.
Quito prostrate nnd helpless Vfore hor,
With no spieliil f..vor to plead;
Bhe gives me the tendercst service,
Her only incentive my need.
With never a look of lmpatione.,
And not because I am her own,
I em simply a subject who sutlers,
And she is a queen on her thone.
Uphold! I have found the new woman,
She comes to me 'hero on my bed;
She wears a striped gown and white
apron.
And a little white cap on her head.

Tho Scranton Republican recently
gave space on Its editorial page to the
following Ill-natured and ill-timed
thrust at unmarried women: "One of
the questions now being discussed Is
'Will the coming' woman marry V If
she pets a chance, yes. Otherwise Bhe
will become a cranky old maid." Com
menting upon this, the Harrlsburg
Star-Independent is disposed to believe
that Its contemporary thoughtlessly
Kave utterance to so undignified a fling;
at a class of people who are frequently
left to struggle In the world without
any one to defend or befrlnd them.
"There Is no cause," the Harrlsburg
paper juutly observes, "for such an tin
just ro-mr-rk In whlrh there In neither
wit nor wisdom. 'Old Maids,' so called,
are not any more 'cranky' thun other
women and men too. Amonff unmar
rled women, 'old mald3.' us some do-
light to call them, there are thousands
upon thousands who have patiently
tolled, made, self sacrifices: devoted
their lives to the amelioration of the
condition of mankind, aided In lifting
me luueu ana uiuortunaie, anu tenut r
ly nursed tho sick, wounded and dying.
The secret of the heart-aches of the
women who have not married Is known
only to themselves, end Instead of slur
ring or casting aspersions upon them
for being 'old maids,' an occasional
kind word should be said In their favor.
"The names of a few 'old maids'
might be mentioned In this corinectlon,
Vho has not heard of Florence Night
ingale, Dorothea Dlx, Frances E. Wll-
lard and Clara ltarton ! uur imprcs
slon is that Miss Nightingale Is still
living, but her llfework wns devoted to
the sick, wounded and dying In the
hospitals; Miss Dlx traveled all river
this and other countries nnu tier mis
sion was the alleviation of the condition
of prisoners and the Insane, and she
wns mainly Instrumental In the estab
lishment of the Btate lunatic hospital
In this city; Miss Barton, the head of
the lied Cross society, Is now In Turkey
to render succor and assistance to the
Armenians, and Miss Wlllard Is devot
ing her life to tho noble caune or tern'
peranco nnd social purity. These wo
men, with thousands of others, many
of whom are 'old mnlds,' are engaged
In works of love nnd deeds of mercy.
They can easily endure the jibes, sneers
and Innuendoes of witless scribblers,
nnd their memories will be kept In af
. fectlonate remembrance by those of the
present and future generations long af
ter those who pretend to taunt them
ror being "old maids are dean anci for
gotten. Newspaper men should be
careful in giving utterance to such nip-
pant expressions. They are trenching
upon ground which should be forever
sacred, and besides flings at old maids
are rude, cruel and ungentlemanly."
The Now York Herald has been hav
ing a letter contest on the subject.
"How Far May a Woman Go to En
courage a Man to Propose?" Mrs.
James Gilmour, of Brooklyn, wrote the
winning letter, and as the subject is
. one that will Interest all women, and
as her letter is especially witty, here
are Mrs. Gllmour's ideas as she gave
them to the Herald: "Solomon, the
wisest man that ever lived, soys of a
good woman: 'Her price is far above
rubles.' certainly, from hl3 extraor
dinary experience with the sex, I should
consider him competent to pass Judg
ment. We will presume that you are
8, 'good womaniy woman, such as he
describes, and that you are desirous of
approaching a man on the subject of
matrimony; that you are anxious to In
duce him to propose. First Select the
man on whom you intend to bestow the
privilege of your attention, note his
behavior and general conduct, and
then. If you deem him worth tho win
nlng, hold fast to him. We are strictly
enjoined to 'hold fast to that which is
good.' Second In your after compan
ionship with him bear In mind the fact
that you are a woman of great price,
'far above rubles,' and you will never
compromise yourself by any Indecor-
ousness of speech or manner,

"Seek his society In such a manner
that he Is not cognizant of being sought
after: be bright and cheerful In his
presence; sympathize with him In his
troubles; stimulate mm to best efforts
' In his business affairs; cheer lilm when
he Is despondent and encourage him to
confide In you. Dress becomingly for
mm, but never guaciny. when he is
absent from you write him a few In
teresting, chatty letters, wherein, if
you are an adept In the art, you can
weave a few insinuating expressions
which may work wonders. 'The pen Is
mightier than the sword.' Above all
else, prove yourself a good listener. If
hi monopolises three-thirds of the con
versation you will have the more
chance to study his character, for 'out
of the abundance of the heart the
mouth speaketh.' I guarantee that you
will get In your thirds In the sweet by

"I should scarcely advise your treat
ing him to anenlmens of vour conlterv.
His mother might excel In the culinary
art. Moreover, it was an uncooicea ap
ple with which Mother Eve beguiled
, Adam. Of the righteousness of that
transaction X shall say nothing; of the
success everything. In that she mould
cd Adam to her will. Time enough to
feed the brute' when you have to a so;
then feed -him to-your heart's content,
and feed him well. If you are making
any progress with him accord him trif
ling familiarities, which may be in
creased in proportion to Ills affability
and his interest In you. Tour woman
ly intuition should by this time enable
you to judge whether or not you have
found favor In his sight and to 'act ac
cordingly. Should there spring up be
tween you a mutual regard.' treat him
to some of those dainty feminine
touches which are Indescribable, not
because they are womanly or wrong.
but because their language Is mute and
tarred to ihe two persons most con
cerned. Im not always agree with
him; It Is sometimes wiser to agree to
dlsasree. If you heve a spark of wit
In your nature you ought by this time
to have made yourself so necessary to
his existence that he will miss you sad
ly when absent, and will begin to real
ise that "It Is not good fr man to be
alone.' - . . .
"Thoucrh all rrnsresses well, draw the
line at promiscuous osculation. Never
permit him to kiss you: that is me
privilege of the engaged. Hut since
the Apostle says, trret-t ye one anoiner
with an holy kiss,' you might vouch
safe htm just one some night at part
ing, perhaps. Hut If he attempts to re
turn it do not permit it. Ten mm n

Finally, vou mlsrlit Inform him that
you can put him In the way of finding a
goad tiling, ami refer mm to me eign-
ttcnth chapter of Proverbs, the twenty-
Rcennd verse. If he be a manly sort or
fellow, nnd enrss anything for you. be
will doubtless follow the exhortation of
the prophet, and thus find favor with
you and tho Lord. Should your innate
modesty rebel somewhat at this sug
gestion you may console yourself by
remembering that It Is Indeed your leap
year privilege. If you are the dear,
womanly, nestling creature you ought
to be. he must have proposed long ago.
If lie has not, discard him, for either he
Is not worthy of you or you are not en
rapport' with him. In that case try

Says the Delineator In an article
describing 'Tho Might Man to Marry":
There s but little doubt that the
author of the infallible proverb, 'if pigs
had wings they might be able to fly,
but they would be very unlikely birds,'
was the same one who sold, 'A re
formed rake multes the best of hus
bands." If such a thlnj were possible
doubtless he would, but does any one
r?nllv believe In a 'reformed rake"
Certainly no ono of a worldly mind, and
very few of a sensible one. as to
rakes, or any. other notorious charac
ters, there is not a word to be sold In
regard to their matrimonial qualities;
thev should and will be entirely omitt
ed from the discussion. If you want
your husband to be of the 'utay-home-
nlght kind, choose a man witn a no
by, a good, hard-working hobby that
requires manual labor or personal su
pervision. The man with an unquench
able desire to hammer in nails, to dig
up the soil, to fresco the barn door or
to photograph the ramiiy in -natural
positions will materially assist In the
home-making process. What matter If
the pictures do occasionally fnll on
one's head, hnd the 'chairs usually tip
fhn dipst of honor on the floor? The
master's little foibles go far toward
making life amusing, and consequently
happy.
II H II ,
"The husband who merely cats and
sleeps at homo or who only sheds the
light of his countenance upon you at
rare Intervals. Is not at all a desirable
ncnuliition. If you are wise you will
choose a man who has been through a
thorough boarding house course and
graduated with honors for not expect
ing too much for his money, and this
difficulty will be entirely obviated. This
individual lias probably received but
little comfort in his protracted experi
ence in boardln?, and will be very
thankful for small favors. He does not
object to the perfume of onions and has
a kindly regard ror cola meat. Jte may
be relied upon to run the small errands,
to mend bis own clothes, and. In fact,
to render himself generally untrouble
some and unobtrusive.
The book-worm should be placed high
upon tiio list of good husbands, In that,
provided he hns a warm room, a com
fortable arm chair and his favorite au
thors, there you have him settled. His
worst fault is that he is inclined to
seem a trifle, unsympathetic, but lie
finds amusement at his own fireside,
and is, though he will not show it. thor
oughly fond 'of the wife of his' bosom.
On this same principle don't pass by a
man who smokes it pipe. If you dis
like the odor of tobacco see that he is
suuplled with a" good quality, but don't
dream of complaining because ' he
smokes. There is nothing In the -world
that will so smooth the ruined plumage
of the king of creation as looking at
life throuah a dense cloud of tobacco
smoke.
"Don't marry the only-son-of-hls-mother-and-Hhe-wns-a-widow
kind.
Depend upon it. If you do,' you will tind
yourself doing over the 'slavery days'
in an amateur way. In place of this
one we respectfully recommend . the
man who Is one of a large family of
brothers and sisters. He will have
learned the lessons of unselfishness and
f'.'lf-sacrlflce the alpha nnd omega of
domestic felicity so thoroughly In his
childhood that he will never forget
them under any circumstances."

Writes "Penn In tho Philadelphia Bul
letin: "The -New . .woman, whom many
worthy persons fancy Is a novelty that
nature has suddenly sprung upon us In
defiance of tho ancient limitations of
sex, has had many prototpyes among
us ever since the time when Fanny
Wright preached free love and soelal
lam and Annie Boyall held statesmen
In terror under her phlliplcs In the
press. But ere has been no more not
able example of the class than Phila
delphia furnished the country thirty
years ago. Intellect, courage, ambi
tion, the renlus of oratory, sympathy
with the down-trodden, the power of
disputation with men and zeal to break
down the barriers of nature were the
features of her career. She was the
perfect specimen of the agitator, and
no man surpassed her In the aptitudes.
Nor has any reformer In petticoats ever
been heralded with so lively a flourish
of trumpets as announced the advent
of this evangel of "a new womanhood."
She wr.s young, not uncomely. Inter
esting, eloquent and filled with the Im
pulse of reconstructing In the universe.
For many years no woman In the
United States hud more distinction,
more attention from men of Intellect,
and so much capacity for earning
money with tongue nnd pen. To-day
nt not more than fifty-four years of
age, she emerges from her poverty and
obscurity In a Penns-. Ivanla town to
harry In the courts ihe doctor who
committed her to an Insane asylum,
and who thereby revealed to the world
what some had long before suspected
In the once superb Intellect of Anna
Dickinson.
II II II
TTp to the time when this gifted wo
man aproached the early period of mid
dle life her mind was strikingly vigor
ous, and her ambitions, were entirely
within the bounds of reason. Born In
a family of Philadelphia Quakers, earn
ing her livelihood at eighteen as a
teacher, and then as an employe In the
woman's department of the Mint, she
leaped Into fame by the war and anti
slavery speeches, which- moved Wen
dell Phillips to call her "the Girl Ora
tor." Before Bhe was thirty-five years
of ago she was earning probably 140,000
a year as k lecturer; hardly surpassed
In popularity by even Ueecher. Bern
hardt nor Melha can scarcely be more
Imperious In dictating terms than An
na Dickinson was with the Pughs and
Pmids of the platform In her best days.
Time And again- was she heard at the
'Academy of. Mttslo at. $500 a lecture.
Bhe hod adulation, fortune, followers,
fame nnd a seemingly long career be
fore, when she suddenly conceived the
notion that the stage, wart awaiting her
and that she naa a mission in tne ara-
tua, .' v '', "
' -Indeed,' she waa not entirely unfitted
for at least a part of the task. With
the dramatic instinct 'in her and with,
great fluency of diction, she understood
well the rhetoric of the theatre, and
how to give strong examples of it. Her
play ot "A Crown of Thorns," in which
Annie Boleyn was the central figure,
had some, striking passages; "Aure
llan," which she wrote for John MeCul
lough, waa an Interesting piece ot elo
quent description, and the "American
Girl." In which Fanny Davenport
achieved some succes. had several cl-v-f
r points as a native comedy. She tried
to turtray herself the lively and lovely
fascinations of Anne Bolyn and utterly
failed. She had not the feminine tem
perument for the part, and then she
became impressed with the notion that
she might play masculine roles just as
Charlotte Cushman had essayed Ro
meo. II II II
A dosen years ago. t the Chestnut
street opera house, she stepped out one
iil;-.ht In the garb of a Hamlet in purple
tights. She was not a displeasing fig
ure with her bright eyes, her fine hair
parted and tossed back like a boy's and
her legs lithe and trim. Hut there was
nothing but pain or a sense of pity for
the poor woman who persisted In think
ing thnt she had enough of the' strain
of virility in her mettle to play even
men a man as Hamlet Her readings
were boyish; her voice often thin and
untunable to the music of the diction,
and her movements such as may be
fancied of any mature virgin unsexlng
herself. It wns difficult for the judie
loua to understand how a mind that
had not become shadowed could be
guilty of such Inanity, of course, the
wit crackers had great sport with her,
nnd she became the target of all the
jibes and flouts cf the Ignorant nnd
thoughtless. There were probably few,
even among the thoughtful, who sus
pected that the aberration might be the
outcome of the physical disturbances in
a woman of forty-two, who had led a
busy career, whose nerves had long
been on the strain and whose eager
ness to outdo the rest of her sex was a
pervading quality of her nature. Vet j
'vim uei- masculine ininu sne naa some
of tho amiable weaknesses of woman
hood. It had been her habit whenever
she lectured here to dress In tine taste
and sometimes with a display of dia
monds, and there was never any doubt
that she valued flattery.
ii ii
In the days of her strength and the
flush of her enthusiasm she was a fe
male Wendell Phillips In her oratory on
the platform. Few men on the political
stump were more effective In the ser
vice of tho Republican party than,she
was down to the time of the Grant nnd
Oreely campaign. When M. S. Quay
was made chairman of the National
committee. In I8i8, he placed Anna by
that time ruined of her stage fever
among his list of star spell-binders
she W03 a failure and embroiled the
chairman In litigation. He only re
membered her for what she had, been,
especially, no doubt, In the days when
she took the Rtump for his friend and
patron, Governor Curtln, In whoso ser
vice Quay was then a private secre
tary, and went Into the coal regions
and other Democratic strongholds
where Republican missionaries In
Pennsylvania at that timo were likely
to be run out of town or treated to a
shower of brick-bats. The lecture Held,
however, was her supreme domain. She
had the faculty of Impressing upon her
hearers the picture of a clear-headed
and exalted woman, aglow with tho
fame of moral righteousness, and yet
not wholly angular or bloodless or de
void of the graces. Her "Joanne of
Arc," the Ideal of her young woman
hood In the tempest and fury or aboli
tion and war, was probably her most
popular theme. But her most search
ing, scathing and cogent lecture was
one which she delivered here a few
years before the time when the passion
for the footlights overcame her, and in
which she took up, under the title of
The Social Evil." humanity sold proD-
lem. which had Just then been project
ed into public notice by the adoption in
St. Louis in a loose way or tne Europ
ean system of license and localisation.
I do not recall that Miss Dickinson waa
ever successful in suggesting remedies
for the problems she took up. Her
strength lay rather In denouncing evils
nnd In nlcturlmr them with words that
burned Into the moral sense like seorch-
ne bits of steel white heated."

The war against the wearing of big
hats in the theatre is waging here and
there with general results that promise
ultimate victory lor the movement In
New York, according to tho Dramatic
Mirror, well-bred women now seldom
offend In tills respect. The number of
the gentler rex who remove their head
coveriujr upon gaining their seats, or
who wear uncuati usive gear. Is steadily
and happily Increasing. This subject
was somo time ago prominent In Paris,
where women had not been admitted
to the orchestra chairs. The manage
ment of the Theatre Francalue, wise
in its own power, at once Interdicted
head covering. Ono device said to
have been adotpted by the Theatre de
1 Republlque Is thus amusingly
described: Just before the time of rais
ing the curtain one of the actresses of
the company, elaborately dressed, with
an Imense picture hat and sleeves ex
cessively "bouffantes," sailed down the
aisle and seated herself, taking care to
attract as much attention as possible.
in a conspicuous place in the orchestra.
Immediately behind her was seated one
of the actors. He showed great annoy
ance, and finally courteously requested
the actress to remove- her hat. She treat
ed his request with manifest contempt.
He persisted. She replied with Imperti
nence. Their voices, as the colloquy
proceeded, were "unconsciously" raised.
Their words became quite audible all
over the house. The public grew deeply
interested. The actor, though insistent,
was reasonable and carefully courteous.
The actress played the part of the angry
vulgar and unreasonable woman to per
fection. The audience sympathized with
the courteous gentleman, 111 used and
insulted by the brazen creature. Cries
of "Otes votre chapeau!" resounded
from every part of the house. The man
ager appeared upon the Bcene. He re
quested the actress to remove her hat.
She refused. He offered her the money
she had paid and requested her to leave
the lie use. She refused vociferously.
and was finally forcibly removed In the
most Ignominious manner. It Is added
that this object lesson was always ef
fective, and that before the climax of
the scene every woman In the orchestra
would have her hat in her lap. The
comedy was repeated whenever neces
sary, and soon In that house the hat
habit waa abolished.

Lillian Russell has finally fixed on her
managers for next season and has re
turned to her early loves. Canary and
Lederer. This Arm managed the prima
donna for several seasons, and there Is
no doubt but what they can make the
coming season a profitable one. Abbey,
Schoeffel and Grau are said to have lost
something like $150,000 on this season's
business, a large part through the ca
prices of Miss Russell, who often forced
them to cancel dates by announcing that
she was too 111 to sing. A prominent
manager has pronounced her "big
money" In a strong attraction, but tn a
mediocre opera a gold mine lost In six
months. She has secured C. M. S. He
Clellund and Gustavo Kerker to write
for her.

Madame Modjeska Is said to be slowly
but surely recovering her health In Chi
cago, where she and her husband. Count
Bozonta, are stopping. She Is surprising
her physicians with her recuperative
ppwer; she Is taking dally walks In the
park and her left arm is rapidly renum
Ing Its normal condition. The season Is
so well advanced that it is deemed un
wise by her management to resume her
tour before fall, so this gifted artist will
enjoy a long rest In California. It has
been rumored that Madame Modjeska s
trouble was similar to that which proved
fatal to Lawrence Barrett, but this Is
Incorrect. Tho late Mn Uarrett s dis
ease was glandular, while Mndjeska's
was simply an Interruption of the cir

Although widely separate in art, cur
lous coincidences connect Eleonora Duse
with Lole Fuller. They are says Hillary
Bell, of the same age, they began public
life at he same period In girlhood, their
birth was lowly and their education lim
ited, their youth waa spent in hard
ships, they married early and unfortu
natoly and both are grass widows; they
arrived in this country lately about the
same time, they begun their engage
ments and terminated them on the same
nights, and, most remarkable of all,
they drew exactly tho same amount of
money Into rival box offices. Duse has
sacrificed health and all social pleasures
to her art. Fuller's health Is abundant
and she enjoys society. Duse's heart
has been crushed by matrimonial sor
rows, but Lole Is full of amatory senti
ment and Is ready to marry again so
soon as a certain senator at Albany
fixes the happy day.

Marie Tempest Is said to be consider

held for a number of months an option

she may purchase It outright, although
the production did not make a very
startling Buccess, it is claimed. put
Mrs. Tempest's former tour In this
country wns followed by such enormous
profits that she would like very much to
repeat the experience. It IS stated that
she possesses practically limitless back
