Is Man A Luxury?
(From the yew York Tribune)
*Is woman a luxury?” Weii I
liifP their nerve! isn’t man a
rxury'.^ So they talked us all
'p( behind our backs, did they,
I. their old stag dinn#" and de
cided we were expfehsive? It
never occurred to them I suppose
v,at we had to pay dearly cfor
the pleasure {?) of their society. ”
The speaker punched^ a soft
njiiow savagely as if mistaking
it for one of those masculine lux
uries of which she was discours
ing She other bachelor maids
at the Sunday morning breakfast
party leaned back in their arm
chairs and stirred their, coffee
on, Polly. We’re with
you” they murmured.
“Luxuries! HumphJ We’re not
costing any man anything just
now, but a man would cost us a
lot if he were here. We couldnH
make a feast of coffiee and fruit
and rolls. We’d have to have
eggs at 50c. a dozen, and steak
and mushrooms at Heaven only
knows how much, and the man
would probably would expect
whichever one of us was his w^ife
to have risen early and baked
biscuit for him. Wecoukin’t sit
here in kiramos, ^ther, if ^we
had & lot of men arMiind; and we
couldn’t talk about the thisigs we
wanted to, because the men
would be doing the all talking.
If that isn’t paying dear for the
privilege of masculine society I
don’t know what it is?”
“But men really do cost a girl
a lot of money, too,” protested
the young and pretty one of the
company {who had had experi
ence). ^‘The kind of a man who
complains that it costs him §10
w'Wii'
iti
Jwxing like tlSiil
these degenerate Shesap-
poses you wont mind, periiapa,
after all, if ihat young man that
came hwne with you so late the
other night”—
’ ‘Oh, mercy! .stop that flow of
words! She’ll choke herself!’V
. piilow flew through the
air, then another and another.
The compariv'rose as one woman
4ep6siting its coffee cups on the
bookcase and smothered its host
ess in her own drygoods and up-
holsteri^es. Presently she erner-
ged, chastened in spirit.
“A man’s a man for a^ that.”
she murmured, and they all feil
to washing dishes.
Bryatt’«Bag pf Schemes.
Baltimore, M&, June 14.-AK
though William fenjiings Bryan:
has not arnved'fof^^ the demo-
ci^tic conv^iij^ioh^ "democratic
leaders who ai1fe;on'^the>cene, and
who are closelir ^wa%hifet^ devel-
0{»nent? here an^ elseWibere in
advance of the ^onv^^^, say
he will comie witK a lifefuU of
echoes. .
First they declare, %will nmke
a ^perate effort to th6
unit rule in force in sever^ state
(lel^ations.^;. r V"?;/■'
■ ^cond, heVwfili attack the twoi
tM«is rule if he finds jtaiandi^ m
his way.
It is the genei^l opinion of
visiting democntts that Bryan is
veering to Gov. Wilson, and that
when the psychological minute
arjpives he will be found to fee in
the camp of the New Jersey can
didate, all the time hoping and
acheming that lightning will
strike him
It is declared that tfce unit rule
is in Bryan’sway because insev-
.0 take a girl out for the evening S‘t' fronf‘"Brvan's
is just tl« one who wont look at| «p_
a girl unless she is hobble-skirted
and patent leather-pumped and
iong-whit€-kid-glove(i and usua
lly he prefers the kind that is
false-haired and paintcd. Even
if he isn’t quite so particular as
that, he’d rather die than go to
restaurant with a girl in a shirt
waist. Which means that if a
girl wants to be invited out by
young men she must own an
eveping gown, and an evening
wrap, a picture hat to match and
three or four pairs of gloves 11
12.50 a pair during the season.
If ir is only once or twice a year
that see is invited out that makes
it all the worse, because she pro
bably dosen’t have the necessary
things on hand. If it costs him
$10 it may cost her $20 or more. ”
“Not only money, either, my
child, ’ ’ said the older sister. ■“ ’It
costs her mental an^ish. A
mn jumps into his dress suit or
goes and hir^ one for the occa-
eion. but the girl likely as not,
remembers only too well that her
party frock won’t do for such an
occasion as this. So she has to
buy material for another, sitting
up nighes and rising with the
milkmen for two weeks befoire-
hand to make a pretty dress.
Consequently she is tired all the
time, dosen’t work well and loses
her reputation as—temporarily,
we hope—as the best little sten
ographer in the place.”
' Yes and in the meantime,
maybe she has to give up her
siiffage lectures the gl^ dob at
the settlement and her before-
dinner walk in the park with the
other girls. All for one theater
party with one stupid young man.
She couid see that same show
with some girl on Saturday after
noon and nave just as good a
time at half the price in money
and in effort.”
“Then maybe, he wants to call
Sunday afternoon. She has to
let him of course, though she is
nearly dead for lack of sleep
and had just been looking for
ward all the week to a good
long nap. Sunday morning she
had planned to wash her hair,
but you can’t have a man when
your hair is flying in all directions
So there is another day spoiled
all for a silly man.^’
■‘Yes/’ interrupted sCnother
bachelor girl, “and she’s lucky
if she dosen’t have, to feed the
nian too. Of course a chafing-
dish supper dosen’t cost as much
a iestaurant dinner but it makes
a big hole in a poor girl’s purse.
And men are so fussy! They wont
€at store cake] You have to buy
homemade cake at 60c. a loaf at
some woman’s exchange, or else
i^ake it yourself which is even
more expensive, especially if
your landlady charges you for
tne use of her gas range . and
stands staring in the doorway
untii you get so nervous you drop
l^ier best mixing bowl, which cost
her 50c,, but its the associations
^or which she values it, it belong-
to her husband’s mother, so
sne 11 only charge you ,60c. for
wreaking it, and is sorry to do
^^at because • she knows, wha^t
money means to a girl that's
workup for a living* but times^^l
ive changed so: you' can't get
cannot follow him, Itis deelar
td that Bryan is anxious to ab
rogate this rule in order that, as
he expressed it in the national
convertion in St. Louis, in 1904
he may free his supporters, f rom
“the fetters of local bosses,”
Without his followers whose
hands are tied Bryan realizes, it
is asserted, that he cannot domi
nate the convention. Whether
Bryan will be, or will not be, a
candidate in the convention, lat
er events will have to determine,
prominent democrats declare.
With the unit rule out of the way
he would have a formidable fol
lowing.
