IX BRINGING DP GIRLS-MASSAGE IN STEAD OF EXERCISE a FAD WITH SOME WOMEN. "On«of the most curious outcomes of American traditions and inherited independence is the way young women who are in the same social set are, to use a homely expression, brought up." said a matron yesterday. "In no country in the world 1- such a wide divergence practiced, or. indeed, would be permitted, as is seen here in what is called the tier class. In England or France there is one law for all. A young girl whoaj peo ple are in society must be strictly shielded from contact with the, outside -world, but In America it teems to depend altogether upon the wealth, con venience or the Individual opinions of her parents. Very rich people of social position adopt, as a rule, the. transatlantic ideas about their daughters. A maid must invariably attend her young mistress on her shopping expeditions and her walks. She must never, or. any account, enter any public con veyance, not even a hansom, while streetcars or omnibuses are. of course, strictly tabooed. In fact. fo strictly Is this latter rule adhered to by some people that there are many middle aged women of wealth and position to-day who have lived all their lives in New-York without once putting foot in any other vehicle than their own carriages or those of their acquaintances, and yet. very likely, the most intims'e friends of these women may have led lives of perfect independence from th* start. They have walked alone without incurring criticism in their early girlhood, boarded crowded cars without hesitation, and in all respects acted In public 'without fear and without reproach," as one of the people, even tucking up their skirts and going to their dinners or the opera in a ' 'hup.' If need he, too sure of their own position to fear the criticisms of Mrs. Grundy. These women, either ■because their circumstances have put carriages and superfluous maids out of the question, or be cause they Rsel that their children may do what they have done, have allowed their daughters th» same Independence and liberty, who. in their turn. associate with girls whoee daily lives are as care fully shielded as those of French demoiselles of the Faubourg St. Germain." MAMMON WORSHIP. ■Undoubtedly one of the worst things a young man has to contend against in the New-York of to-day Is Mammon worship. "It Is perfectly rotten." said & young fellow recently ln the vernacular cf his kind.. "A man must have money or he is a failure; h«- must make It somehow, and he must not be too long about it. either, for it Is the only criterion of MciH-pf Nothing counts without it. and It makes a fellow feel that all he hap been taught as a boy to consider desirable Is not worth while. The culti vation of one's mind, the living up to any standard, an honorable career in one's profession, are all very ■well In the!? way. If a chap is content to plod along ■without heine much thought of, but the -world does not consider such things of much account. They do not mean money, and that is really th» on'y thine worth having, apparently. It Is all very »tultl*yir:g. of course. I know that 1 am deteri orating morally: that I no longer feel any enthu siasm for Thine? that I used to admire, and that ruy whole mind Is warped by the greed for gain •which I see on every side. ar.S which is the domi nant spirit among the people I know. I despise pelf for It. and I despise the -world I live in. But •what is a fellow to do?" PHASES OF THE "AT HOME." . "What Is known as "days a? home" Is apt to bring: a queer jumble of people together. especially If th« hostess is disposed to be eclectic and dees not con fine her vlsitingr list to one particular set. in which rase any Intercourse between two utter strangers ■who have no topics in common is apt to be difficult. - ' Mr«. Smith, you know Mrs. Brown I am sure," cays the mistress of the house to two women who happen to be calling at the same time Then she rustles away to her other guests, feeling that she has disposed of the couple quite nicely— whereupon the pair, who have acknowledged the Introduction ■with the conventional galvanic smile?, which seem to ■ come to order on such occasions, begin, as In duty bound, to endeavor to make conversation. Of course, nothing whatever occurs to either of them. e.o the weather seems to bo their only refuge. "What a lovely day:" says one "Yes." answers the other with enthusiasm: then a pause, wherein each one feels conscious of the awkwardness of the situation, and another attempt is made that is not much better than the first.

The latter looked weary and accepted the situation as giving less trouble' than an explanation. "And how ls the dear mother, my dear"" continued the elderly butterfly. "She is very well." answered the bored looking yo ing woman, still purposely ignoring the mistake' "I am so fortunate to have met you." proceeded the good woman, volubly, "fo that I can send her a mess.ic Please tell your mamma that I will be unable to take chnree of the meeting, as I promised her for next Thursday." Here was a dilemma, and rome action was necessary. "I think you have msde a mistake." drawled the supposed Miss R. "My name is Bmythe."

It is true that a. number of rich women in New- York never walk at all, and rely chiefly upon massage to keep them in good health, and. what Is e\>-n more important in their eyes, to work off any accumulation of superfluous flesh. There is a great difference in smart women in this respect. Some lead what mlpht truly be caHed a strenuous life.

One of the, most picturesque as well as practi cal departments of the. Brooklyn Young Women's Christian Association work is that known as the boarding department. It was found that one of the most trying problems that the young women have to face is that of securing refined boarding houses it prices within the limited salaries that women, as a rule, receive. Early in its existence, therefore, the managers of the association under took to relieve that need as far ad their means permitted, and opened a boarding house for mem bers on a pleasant street In a good neighborhood. The cost of board and room was limited to a range of from $2 50 a week to $4. Some years later It became possible to secure the adjoining house, and now the two are filled, and there is a waiting list that would easily fill a third. The houses are both what are known as double, and were formerly occupied by families of wealth, so that all the rooms ar« large, airy and hand some. A singularity of the establishment is the absence of the faintest suggestion of the boarding house atmosphere. The caller is ushered through a marble tiled hall Into a spacious drawing room, with moquette carpet and crimson plush draperies and upholstery- All are old fashioned, but, being of the character that one would expect to nnd in an old fashioned house, the effect is ail that could be desired. The two great mantelpieces, of the ornate fashion of forty years ago. are striking features that add to the luxurious air of the room. Behind this apartment is what Miss Van Bus kirk, the superintendent, calls "the most im portant room ln the house." It was once a pict ure gallery, and has a dado and floor of fine old polished oak. This is the evening resort of the forty-four young women who hoard in the house. They gather here every evening, and talk or dance, while the pianola, a gift from Mrs. Clinton Rosslter. gives them such music as any one wishes, from Wagner to ragtime. They have many little entertainments to which they can Invite friends, and last week a mas querade was a source of "no end of fun." "Some of the costumes were lovely." said Miss Van Buskirk. "One young woman -represented Night in black net dotted with gold stars. Her hair was worn loose, and. being so abundant that It reached almost to her feet, the effect was quito that of a cloud. "Another was a 'snowflakf I .' and looked very pweet in her costume of white fleeced cotton, made with the fleecy sido out and trimmed with swans down. . "Thorp were Gretchens. Rridgpts. Dolly Vardpns and Carmens. and the scene was as pretty as could be. The chairman of the committee con tributed ice cream and cakes, and the pianola sup plied as good dance music as ftn orchestra, .so that re had a merry evening." There is a library and reading room opposite the drawing room, where those who wish quiet can re tire at will. In all the rooms are good pictures, and a bit of good statuary here and there. A large dining room, a smaller room for luncheon, a laun dry, where those who desire to launder their own clothes may do so, and one larKe bedroom com plete the list of rooms on the ground floor. Upstairs are the sleeping rooms. They are ar ranged in the fascinatingly rambling manner of old h0;..-*- some being accessible by going up two or three steps, and some by going down. Nearly all of tho many windows are. embrasured, so that the broad sills are available for plants, and few of them are without the pleasant bits of green. The. small rooms are rented to single occupants, and the large are shared by two. Sometimes three find ample accommodation in rooms of extravagant size, where each can have her own dressing ease and arrange her own portion as best suits her. pretty screens serving; as partitions where neces sary. Most of the rooms express the individuality of the occupants In their decorations, and many are ex tremely artistic in effect. Photographs, colored prints, oil and watercolor sketches all are seen, while college flags and such souvenirs of good times flaunt their brightness from dim corners, which they help to illuminate. Even the exterior is inviting. In front are lawns already showing hints of green. At the back is a large sodded yard mad* of the two yards thrown together, which is used for croquet, and ha» a sum mer house. The "dead walls" of neighboring houses that inclose the space are in summer cov ered with Boston Ivy, and add to th« attractiveness of th" place. A variety of occupations is represented in thin pleasant club— for It seems more like that than a boarding house. There are stenographers, milli ners, dressmakers, clerks, and students ln Pratt and similar institutions of learning. The low ■prices, which Include luncheon, allow these young women to live in an atmosphere of refinement not otherwise possible for them. Ind^d. there are many high priced boarding houses not nearly 50 desirable. There are no restriction* other than those In the average home. Young men are allowed to c.iii when they wish, and the large drawing room per mits the gathering of a half dozen separate groups II necessary. At 10:30 o'clock the. house is closed, unless some of the household are at the theatre, concert or eoclal entertainment. Mr?. William Tupper, who ls chairman of the boarding department committee, says that the as- Boclatlon ls unxioua to Increase the work of the department by taking one or two mure houses but cannot for lack of funds. "It takes several years to place the boarding houses on a seir-su:< porting basis at such low rates," she explained "and meanwhi'.e the bills must be paid, and we have not the means for the added expense. I do not know of anything more helpful in the whole range of our work, and we are hoping lhat some one with a feeling of human sister and brother hood will give us a generous contribution for this special purpose." Miss Van Busklrk. who Is the. Inspiration of the social atmosphere of the house, said: "A short time ago a woman applied for a room, and I told her that there was none. She asked to he put on the waiting list, and then I was obliged to say it I feaied she was Ineligible, as she was over forty. That, you know, is the age limit, as It is for members of the 'Young' Women's Christian Association. Her distress was pathetic. 'Why they have an association that ls just "wni-Ti." whether young or old?' she •'' Do they not know that many women over forty earn no more than when they were twenty-five, and often get even less? Why Is there no one to h«-lp us to live as we would like to ln pleasant houses, with nice people and at a price that we can pay? Perhaps we do not need "pro tection." but we do need homes! 1 I am inclined to think." added Miss Van Buskirk. "that there ls a good deal to think about ln that plea " JUNIOR STOXY WOT.n n.4\CF. A children's party dance was the entertainment given last Monday by the Junior Fanwood Auxil iary of New-Jersey, for the benefit of the Stony Wold Sanatorium. Those who participated appeared in the cos tumes "f children of various ages, dates and na tionalities, the general efTect being picturesque and unique. Among the patrons and patronesses were Mrs. Stewartson. Dr. and Mrs Westcott Mr and Mrs. Christiansen. Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Robinson, Mr. and Mrs. G. Hail and Mr. Ridley. WITH CANAL WOMEN. PHASES OF THEIR HOME AND SOCIAL LIFE— THEIR SUCCESSFUL CLUB. More than a hundred women, all members of the canalboat population of the harbor, gave a sllr P r •*" party to the Rev. Isaac Maguire. missionary of the Counties Slip station of the Protestant Episcopal Church Missionary Society for Seamen. ono c* en ing last week. The festivity was in celebration Of Mr Maguiro's thirtieth anniversary as pastoi the mission and his anticipated retirement from that place on May 1. The entertainment was given by the Dorcas Society and Women's Social Club ot the mission. In the company were many *f»*™ women whom Mr. Maguire christened in £"»«? and whose children he has in turn received "iiovna fold of the church. For many years a canalboat wedding feast in this port has not been considered complete without Mr. Maguire. and In « •• « sickness and death he has always been a 5? a !s?«** of comfort and help. Addresses made during the evening contained many touching testimonials to his faithfulness as a friend of the boat people of N The^wom C n's club presented to him- a handsome dress suit case, containing a seal leather dressing case fitted with ebonlzed toilet furnishings The elaborate supper served to nearly one hundred and fifty persons was prepared by the women, and brought from their river and bay homes. From the middle of November until the canals open in April the Dorcas Society meets regularly every Thursday afternoon and the Women s Social Club every Thursday evening. During the last year the Dorcas Society made and distributed among the widows and orphans of their own communities between three hundred and four hundred garments. "Conditions among the boat people of this port have changed materially In the last thirty years, «aid Mr. Magufre yesterday to a Tribune reporter, "in that time the number of boats on the Brie Canal has diminished from I.SOO to about «50. A quarter of a century ago at least 7.". per cent of the boats were brought to the city by their owners. At present comparatively few of the cap tains own their crafts. Then boatmen received as high as IS cents a bushel for a cargo of grain, while now three cents a bushel is considered a fair price. The high price of wharfage In the city also adds to the conditions which are making the canal boat industry a thing of the past and driving out the canal as a factor of modern commerce. At the Eric Basin a boat can tie up for th.' winter for about $15. but in Manhattan and Brooklyn slips and docks a loaded boat costs 50 cents a day. •The character of the drivers and steeren of the canalboats, who make up the crews of the boats, are responsible for a wrong public opinion regard ing boat people." said Mr. Magulre. "These men are usually a 'bad lot.' and as soon as they have received their pay at the end of the voyage they spend It in dissipation. They are the people com monly known as 'canalboat men.' but they are in reality not boatmen at all, but landsmen who are ready' to take any odd Job." Th. captains who spend their lives on the canals and In the harbors are. according to Mr, Maguire, democratic, honorable men, of whom at least TO per cent are Americana of long lineage. They are the type of people that one finds on the farms of the northern and cen tral portions of this State, and their families possess a Veflnement and Intelligence superior to people of the same class ashore. A little girl of ten or eleven years, who was one of the guests at Mr. Magulre's party, expressed the educational situation of canalhoat children. "We like to live on the boat." she said, "bees ■-• we have always lived there; but there is one very bail thing about it. We cannot go to school enough." Another child said that her mother Is her teacher. Many of the children are left during the school months with friends In the country. Others during the winter season attend the pub lic schools in the towns or cities where the ice catches their boats. Not a few, from various colo nies, are members of schools in this borough and Brooklyn. Far from being rude children, the girls and boys are known at the missions and schools which they frequent as peculiarly we ll bred and gentle mannered. The land youngsters of foreign parentage from the tenements In harbor neighbor hood* are often mistaken for boat children, and have given the latter a reputation for a coarsen- - and uncouthness which they do not possess. "There are about four hundred and fifty families of boat people in New-York Harbor this spring." .said Mr. Maguire. "and they comprise about eighteen hundred men. women and children. The homes art* notably clean and tidy, and the wives are famous for the excellence of their cookery and their neatly set tables. Occasionally out sees a piano, but more often a cabinet organ, among the furnishings. Winter finds little for th** women to do, except th« regular work of their small home.--*. and so much time is spent In sewins: and fancy work, and dainty. home marie ornaments which decorate the limited space evidence their Industry During the season of travel, when a crew of from tW °v. tO l . flVe . men !" a llded to the family, according as the boat Is a single or double header, the women arc kept busy with preparations for the meals for perpetual voyaging insure* perpetually hearty ap petites.

Captains who own or run one or two boats generally work through the winter for rail roads and other companies, and tie up their boats as near as possible to their places of employment. At Coentles Slip, where there is a small colony, a large number of the boats are known an potato and apple boats, because potatoes and apples con stituted their last down cargo*-? in the fall. Sev eral of the captains of these boats have spent the winter in speculating and in selling their cargoes to retail grocers. About one hundred and twenty canalboats that started from Buffalo for this city were caught in the first freeze of the late fall, and have be. ii frozen in various points of the Erie anal nil winter. In favorable years the boats mnkf eight or nine round trips between this city and Buffalo, occupying from ten days to two weeks in each voyage between the two cities. Summer boarders furnish a source of income to boat wives, and serve as a break ln the monotony of canal life. Especially among teachers, dress makers and factory workers of small means, the Idea of spending vacations in trips along the canals has been increasing in popularity the last few years. Mr Magulre has lived among the boat people at Counties Slip since I*J£ He was born In County Sligo, Ireland, sixty-four years ago. For two years previous to his present pastorate he was minister in charge of the old Church of the Epiphany, now known as the Pro-Cathedral, in Stanton-St, His congregation is literally a floating one, and the same faces seldom appear two con secutive weeks. But he counts his parishioners among people in every port of the world. Mr. Maguire has had only two vacations during his term of service, Open air meetings on Pier No. 5, Kast River, at 11 a. m. and 3 p. m. every Sunday from May until the cold weather arrives have al ways characterised his work. During the late fall and winter the services are held In the room used during the week as a reading room and for social gatherings. During •'.• last year, from Advent. 19"1, to Advent, 1962, more than one hundred thou sand visits were made !>v sailors to the reading room. Facilities for writing letters and receiving mail are furnished to seamen. A social club of sailors meets once a week. Tobacco and g.imes are provided for the members, -md the evenings rlose with coffee and light refreshments. THE WOMAN'S CLUB HOUSE. ATTRACTIVE HOME BEING ERECTED BY A SOCTETT OF DENVER.
