TIIE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-SATURDAY MAY 28, 1898. 3 Social g Personal Oho of the most delightful liatlor en tertulnments ever Riven In Scranton was that of yesterday nt the handsome homo of Mrs. T. II. Wntklns, when Mrs. 'V. A. Staples talked on tiic Evolution of Amcilcan Poetry Mrs Staples Is a very nttractle lady. vutn n fano which dimples biightly ns she Hpeaks. She possesses unuu.il Rifts in the way of recitation, and It at htr Jlapptcst In the expression of dialect sketches. She made fi Rieat hit In tne lovely llttlo bits from lhigmc ! eld ana in htr rendition of jnrai"n" lliley'B "Our HJrcrt Girl." She bi ought the house down with the over-popular "Little Breeches." and Incidentally paid a Rrnceful tribute to Minister Hay. In beginning sh" spoko of the ilcii legacy of the muses In other lands where the fauns and satyrs had In habited the forests as Pan had piped nnd Orpheus had touched his ljrc. Greece had her Homer, England had a Chaucer, n, Spenser, a Shakespeare. Milton and Drjdon, Italy had Virgil nnd Dante, but the fauns and satyrs wire the red Indians of the copses, and there was little in the early I'utl tan's experience to encourage poesy. The mother of American veiso, Anne 3radstreet, the daughter of dovemor Dudley and wife of ("Sovemor Ihad- Btrect, was then mentioneu. unvn "Wendell Holmes was a direct descend ant of this pilmltlve songstress. The speaker then mpldly parsed on down tho lino from Mother Goose to the great poets of later das, lccltlng many .1 stanza as she touched upon the utious wi Iters. Her rtcltal of a portion of Prj ant's "Thanatopsis," of ll.ijnrtl Taylor's "Metempsychosis of the Pine," of Lowell's "Vision of Sir Liauiifnl," of "Dorothy and I," nnd "The Last Leaf," nnd the chambered nautilus of Holmes were a distinct pleasure.

In conclusion she recited "Tho Star Spangled Banner." Mrs. n. Xi.

A largo majority of tho Presbyterlnns throughout the de nomination havo declaied against It. Tho Lackawanna Presbytery voted al most unanimously in opposition. Tho general opinion Is that the care ot the business affairs by tho Session would Impair its usefulness. Others also ar ruu that It frequently occurs thut there is exceptional talent in tho congiegn tlon nt laige, outside tho eldeishlp, for tho management and supervision ot the caro ot church property nnd funds, for salaries and expenses ot music, etc. In fact, some say "The Book" mikes very plain the distinction between the func tions of the Session nnd tho trustees.

I suppose that women who wilto for tho papers must fill a ceitnln amount of space, but sometimes It does seem lather a pity thnt other people arc ex pected to lead the material thus sup plied. Often, too, they aro expected to profit by tho advice given, which Is adding Insult to injury. For lnstnnce Tho Ladles' Home Jour nal published explicit directions lust month regarding the proper caro of a girl's wardrobe. Tho girl who conscien tiously followed these directions would bo an unmitigated llttlo prig and would never have a moment to employ In kind thought of others or gentle deeds that help to make the earth bright. She would never In this world get time to do anything for anybody but her self or to think of nnj thing but her own personul appeal ance. She would reallj be n most uneomfortnblo person to have In the house, and everybody would breathe a sigh of telief when she took herself , her Hvo "hat bonces with the name of each hat marked plainly on tho side," her niruy ot bodices and the houseful of tissue pa per required to keep them in shnpo, the numberless sets of "trees" for her shoes, tho multitude of bottles of ben zine, naptha und other malodorous "cleaners," her many receptacles for each separate piece of Jewelij", her wealth of dress-frames and tho quan tity of other painphennlla. necessary to a self lespectlng joung woman, awnj' for the summer This nrtlclo starts out with the ever lasting faiiy tnlo of tho way Queen Victoria's daughters havo nil been brought up to mend nnd darn nntl mnko over their own gowns. All 1 have to saj on this point is thnt if the said daughters vveie obliged to do theso things what should havo been the hnpplest ghlhood In the worltl must have been largely wasted. What Is the use of being the daughter of tho greatest queen on oatth If one must nttend to the soidld duties uf lite In cnily jouth, even to tho extent of per forming thnt most loathed of nil tasks to overj- ntumallj- constituted girl, making over old clothes? I don't be lieve they ever did It, do you? This "Ashmnro girl" in tho article nevet was In too much of a bun j when she came In from the street to look all over her gown to see If It needed mending, to biush nnd put It nwny taiefullj-. and stuff the bodice with the nil pervading tissue papet , to take off her shoes nnd stuff them with some more tissue paper or "tiees," to ns sume her slippers, and probably rub the stieet boots with vaseline for a halt hour or more, to fold her veil "tho oth er way" and put Its own special pin theieln; to brush her hat and put It In Its own special, beforementlonetl and labeled box hav lug prev louslj-, of com so, freshened the nrtlllclal lloweis by pulling nnd bending and straight ening each. (Imagine daily "pulling nnd bending and straightening" each artificial flower on the present day hat') besides looking cnrefully over her gloves, wiping her umbiolla with a silk rag and doing several dozen other tilings, the neglect of which would at once stamp her as untidy and unstable In character. Oh, dear, oh, clear! to think of being born a girl nnd having a mamma or a maiden aunt who would insist upon this pio gramme! One can Imagine that a girl having been brought up after this fashion would develop Into a wife whose husband and other male rela tives would welcome with tears of Joy a war or anything that would prom ise to take them out of her Immediate vicinitj'. A girl who would pitch things tow aid the four corners of the loom would be preferable as a com panion. Now, I'm not encouraging untidi ness. Anything but a girl who goes about with the buttons off her shoes, or the hem of her gown frayed, or a missing link in the connection of her shut wnlst and skirt. She hasn't any light to be caieless in these nnd kin dred matters any more than she has to chew gum In the street cars or other public places. But tho average girl, If she Is anj' soit of use In the world. Is obliged to bcuiry out and In the house a half dozen times a day, at least, and If she should stop to change hoi shoes each lime, to do the amount of blush ing to her npparel, and the amount of tissue paper "stutllng" recommended In tho Ashmoie regime, either she would bo a dilvellng idiot nfter a week of it, or her family would desire to break up housekeeping. There Is such a thing as being possessed of a pent devil, and the Ashmore girl would be come one of the earliest v Ictims. A man was heard to remark not long ago, "I have the bet-t wife u man ever married. She never left anything un done jot that a woman ought to do, but sometimes I think we'd all be hap pier if she hid. This everlasting dust ing, cleaning and legulatlng business Is a mania with her and the whole amount of It Is, none of us ever have a verj good time In the house for fear we maj' foig'H and pulla rocker too fur out of its oibit; disarrange the exact angles formed by tho books on the table, or lay .t newbpaper in tho wrong place. Sometimes when she goes away for a few daja I kick tho rugs up at the cornei s, bring tho dog Into tho pal lor, put the curtains up nt dlffeient de glees ot attitude, and jwik eveiy news paper out of tho basket. Of cour.se I nbvaj's seo thut Its all light before she comes back, for It would break her heait to know- that her veats of drill hud produced eyo service only." Time to lead good books and maga zines, time to learn about the hlstoiy wo aie now making, time to spend an hour wilh an Invalid friend or really enjoy a walk In the fresh air, Is some thing tho Ashmoro glil and her precious mamma will never havo to call bel ow n; nnd she- will grow old befeie her time, rnd so will evtiybody eUe In her home. .
