Sbo I'lmls Woman at the Curd Table and .From, the Hem arks of THree of Her Sex Slio Gives :i Sormonctto on Woman Woman Cautions of Wouian '.'Will She Kite the Hand That Helps Her ? Special to The Sunday HEitAiiD. New Yop.k, May 29. People are getting tired of going to the theatre; they are tired of going to teas, but they never seem to got tired of playing cards. If you want to see lovely woman at her best, or her worst, watch her at the card table. You will then see how easy it is for her to be dishonest, and how greedy she is. You will then sec what an immense amount of cheek she has, and how she will TU6hinto a game about which she knows nothing, and of which she declines to bo taught anything. If you have any predilec tion for whist you have undoubtedly met the young woman who is "so fond of the game," but who will tell you nine times out of ten that bhe really has not played it very much. She commences operations by stiaightening out her hand upon the table, making a pile of spades and a pile of clubs, a pile of hearts,and a pile of diamonds, until from knowing your own hand and making a general guess about the others, you are pretty certaiu as to what she holds. After she has lost three tricks, by Throwing low cards where she should have put iigh ones, she very vaguely ask6, "Oh, what did you say was trumps V" Her mind satis fled about this, she proceeds, when she is the last player, and the deuce of trumps would have taken the trick, to put ou a king and then to say, "I never believed in sending a 3oy to do a man's errand." I'LAYINCi HEAltTS WITH A ULONDE. I don't blame you if you take to drink 1 don't blame you if you hate all womankind, tut I enjoy seeing you the next evening TThen you are to play hearts with a sweet Wondc woman in a gown of heavenly blue. She says she has played the game several limes, and she's pretty sure she knows all about it; but she asks you confidentially, "Oughtn't I to lead my highest cards first V" You're charmed at having such an intelligent partner, but your eyes open a little when sho leads the ace of hearts, follows it up with a king, then dances out the knave, and eventu ally she has all thirteen hearts in her pile, There's no use trying to teach this woinau to play hearts; you can never make her under stand that the policy of the game is to get rid of them no, indeed. She thinks that she has Achieved the mott when she Is gathering in ibe ruby red cards and paying out her chips. PUETTl' WOMAN AT l'OKEIi. , Another type of woman to be dreaded at the eard table is the tender-hearted one. She was at her bast the other night when a jackpot was loHbe fore, and ithad been opened for twenty- T.A. INTZIE R, FOR five cents. Everybody was in it and every body was prepared to bet pretty heavily, when the tender-hearted lady 6ald: "Now, children, I'm not going to let you be cheated; there's no possibility of anybody beating my hand, and so there's no use in my taking any more of your money." The natural conclusion was that she had a royal flush. Had sbo ? When that marvelous hand, that was to beat every bodj waB laid down it was a straight, jack high ! Tho woman opposite her held four aces, a man had a full hand, queen high, and another one held four treys. A madder party than this you never saw in your life. And THE WOMA' WHO HELD I'OUB ACES gave her friend a piece of her mind. Said she: "When you don't know how to play a game don't fool away the time and upset tho tem pers of people who do, and when you are playing cards don't get too tender-hearted. Keep that sort of feeling for tho seclusion of your family and for your sewing society. I don't care if you do cry; if you don't know how to play tho game you havo no business to make things uncomfortable for other people, and if you want to learn then you ought to be willing to endure disappointments until you find out the right way. You've Droken up the game; you've made everybody feel miserable; I feel as if I had been a brute to you, and yet I think you are a consummate idiot." Then they both cried, and tho men said they would go and have a game of billiards. And later in tho ovening, when they came back, they found tho two women as friendly as possible, and ou her way home tho one who had broken up tho game oaid to tho men who formed her escort: "Kato is such a dear thing ! You know she haB got a quick way of speaking, but sbo wouldn't do a mean thing to savo her bouI 1" And one of tho men said: "By George ! that's beautiful for one woman to say about another." And the unlucky card-player answered: "Well, it's true. She speaks her mind sometimes, but to-night I really think I deserved it." And every man in tho party positively said: "You certainly did." DAltK on uonT women? The English newspapers havo brought up a curious question for discussion. It is this; "In your experience have dark or light women been tho most faithful ?" Three women sat down to discuss this tho other ovening. Said number oue, who happoned to be a blonde, pretty and young: "I havo never found but three women who wero absolutely faithful to mo In my life, and they wero rather neutral in their coloring, One had brown hair that wasn't quite dark, another had light hair that wasn't quite blonde, and the third had gray hair. Tho first one had been my friend when wo were children together, and tho friendship lasted absolutely until death did us part. Tho second one was a woman In whoso society I found pleasure, and tho third was my mother. Ou my visiting book there aro tho names of hundreds of women. If they were asked if they wero my friends they would say 'yes,' and yet to-morrow, f I needed a woman friend, I should go to the one who likes me because I am a pleasant companlpn, or to my BALBRIGGAN UNDERWEAR.

Another woman, a woman with brown hair and brown eyes, then gave her experience. She said: "I had a curious education about women; girls wero very scarce in our family and wo were all taught to think them of great valuc. If you could do anything to give pleasure to a woman, if you could help her by pleasant words,"by deeds, or in any way what ever, then it was more than a kindness to her, it was a courtesy to yourself. That was tho theory upon which I started out in life, and tho result is that though materially I am not black and blue, spiritually I am. Tho woman to who I gave the helping hand usually finished up tho performance by biting the hand. Tho woman to whom I gave a certain amount of affection and consideration and kindness was usually the one who said the most dreadful things about me, who thought I had a reason for everything I did, and who was firmly convinced that I was entirely selfish in my desire to assist her. No woman friends ? Well, very fow, and they are women for whom I have done nothing, with whom it Is merely a question of general liking. Tho woman for whom you do a good deed Immediately con cludes sho wants to cut your acquaintance, why, I don't know, except that she Is liko a certain kind of mongrel dog, tho females of which can never meet without having a row. Faithfulness with mo has not been a matter of complexion, faithlessness has been a general matter." WHO AJtE THE THUEST WOMEN 'i Tho third woman, who had kept very auiet, and who was neither dark nor light, but of the typo so common in this country, that of light-brown hair and dark-brown eyes, slowly said: "Well, I've been curious enough to watch, and it has been a matter of complex Ion with me. Women who aro unwomanly, who aro deceitful, who wero liars, mischievous ones, and who had no senso of houor what ever, wero usually women who were either extremely dark or extremely light, Between itles didn't Beem to count. A very blondo woman by her wicked toiiguo upset my life for at least 6lx months. A very dark woman by her lack of honor made mo lose belief In all womankind except mothers. Nowadays, if I havo got a secret that I must toll some body, I tell It to a man. If I am In a bit of trouble where I must havo tho sympathy of a woman,! toll it to my mother, and If I need help in anything I should ask one of these two. do women deseiive this? Now, theso women were not anything but agreeable women, conslderato women, and polite women, yet the greatest hurts they had over had had come from women, so had the greatest rudeness and the greatest misunder standing. It didn't make them disagreeable to all women, It simply made them beware of women. The trouble has been here, that woman has been put on a pedestal and her virtues oxtoled until man seemed a yery miserable specimen besldo her. Now it is just about time that the was knocked off this SHIRT "WAISTS. Our Shirt Waists are well made ; guaranteed to fit per fectly, and all colors washable and will not fade. 25c, 50c, and 75c These are extraordinary good values. It is hardly necessary to mention our own make of Pine White Dress Shirts. They are being advertised better by those who have given them a trial than we could do. . IOok at one, open it out, and you'll buy it. Price, 50c. Choice pedestal and a little common senso beat into her head. When I want to do any worship ing I am going to worship a man; he's bigger, stronger, more naturally better looking, has a greater respect for the truth, and decidedly more charity for one's weaknesses. If I couldn't get a man to worship, I think I would give my affection to a dog, but cer tainly not to a woman. YOU-THINK THAT SOUNDS NASTY. Take up the question that is in tho English papers and think it over: "Who among your women friends havo found you most faithful, blondes or brunettes ?" and you will be sur prised to find that it isn't a question usually of complexion, but that woman to her sister woman is generally about as faithful as tho original serpent. "Oh," says somebody, "you are Irritated about something." No, I am not. I am sitting on the outsido of a nine teenth century Garden of Eden and watching Llllth and Eve talk together, while I am giv ing thanks that at least I am sensible enough not to bo in it. "Well," says somebody, "you certainly must think there aro some good women." Some good women ! Thank God, there aro millions of them, but they ore not tho women who go in for tho ecstatic friend ships; thoy aro tho ones whoso friendship has grown in years with you; tho friendship that springs up liko a weed in tho night deserves to bo jerked up and thrown away tho next morning. WOMEN 01" WHOM TO HEWAltE, Beware of tho woman, my deaf girl, who tolls you all about herself when you first meet her. Beware of tho woman who announces to you that sho never said a disagreeable word about another woman. Gracious, goodness I tho air will bo green when sho docs begin. The 'woman who novor says a disagreeable word is liko tho dog who never barks ho bites, and ho bites to poison. Bowaro of tho woman who is over-rich in her caresses to you; by all tho laws of nature a woman ought to kiss a man, and sho Is wasting tho time of two women when sho fools about this sort of thing, THE WOMEN WE WANT TO LOVE. There aro women we love, women wo loye and trust and who love and trust us, women who care for us through ovory woe that may come, who aro joyful with us and who don't misunderstand us, women who take eiderdown and wrap it about tho skeleton in our closets so that we may never hear tho horrible bones rattle. Theso women are moro than friends; thoy aro mothers. Nobody else can do that; no woman in tho world is over enough your friend to bo to you what your mother Is, and if you don't realize that to-day you will to morrow, or 60motlmoscon, and if youhaven'fc been to her what you ought to bo you will go off, hide your head, and wonder what made you so blind, You will shod many a bitter tear over this, and shed them in Yaln. THE TEXT VIIOM AVHIOII BnE PREACHES. It sounds a little bit liko a sermon, doesn't It ? Well, we all havo our times for sermoniz ing, and it's meant tobeaklndlyllttlu,sormon; it's meant to be said to each one of you, look IN SHIRT WAISTS. Picks for Early Callers. ing straight into your eyes with a heart full of kindness and thankfulness. It seems to you a bit like somebody who wears tho cap and bells drawing tho crowd with tho janclo and then preaching. Hasn't tho fool's sermon often been a good one ? And this sermon which is told from the talk of three women about other women has ended up with a very old text, which reads, "Honor thy father and thy mother," but what tho preacher wants to emphasize is to "honor your mother." She suffered for you, sho loves you, and sho knows you, her woman child, as nobody else in tho world docs. Just think over tho text with me, and then maybe you will pray, as I do, that when death walks into tho house to put his cool and restful hands on tho eyes that are so tired ho may chooso you first, because you would be friendless without your mother. WHEIIE SEKMONB AUE IN SENTENCES. There aro a good many things that deserve to bo honored that don't get it. If you honor and are polite to your children they will give you honor and respect In return. If you honor and aro polito to thoso you employ you will get honor and respect In re turn. If you honor and aro polito to tho traveler you meet by land or sea you will get respect and consideration for what you havo given. It you honor and respect tho laws of a State or of a corporation you havo a right to proper treatment. If you honor and respectovcry man, woman, child, baby, and dog that you meet in your walks, if you givo them tho courtesy duo, then you can be very certain that politeness and respect will bo shown you by everything that passes you by. Tho dog you kick Is going to bite, the woman you aro rudo to Is going to. snub you, tho child you don't consider worth politeness is going to be impertinent to you, and right straight through life whoro you give honor and respect you will get them in return; many times a lcavon of real liking will bo added. Honor and respect tho preacher her Inten tions aro honorable, and if her sermon has fallen a little Bhort of tho conventional typo remember that tho seminary through which sho has gone has beon that hard ono called the World, where tho Flesh stands on ono Bldo and tho Dovil on tho other, and to keep tho evil spirits away you havo to hit out straight and hard from tho shpulder. Tho text is good; tho sermon is meant to bo, so because of what was intended bo charitable to tho preacher who does not daro to put prefix or affix to her name, but calls herself only Bah.
