6 FOR the FAIR SEX THE STREET CAR BORE A DISTINCT VARIETY OF THE GENUS NUISANCE A St. Paul Woman Tells of Her Expe rience in this Form of Travel —Pret- ty Girls, as a Rule, Like to Sit Near the Door. A St. Paul woman said the other day: "Do write about the street car bore, which is a distinct variety of the spe cies and should be relegated to outer darkness. He usually hangs on a strap and bends over his victim and asks all sorts of questions of an inti mate nature in a loud voice; for this bore "has a curiosity of great propor tions, and his victim generally writhes as the eyes of all the passengers are fastened upon her. "I struck one of them the other day in a very crowded oar. He was hang ing on a strap and pinned me with his eye. as he inquired where I had been, where I was going, what my husband did and where I lived, and everything except what my income was, which I expected to have him do next. "Talk about the curiosity of women! It isn't a circumstance to that of men when they really want to know things. This man I speak of talked in a loud voice, and when the car stopped at the bottom of the hill and had to wait there he continued in just as loud a voice until every eye was rivet ed upon me and every ear was strain ed to hear his remarks. My replies were hardly audible, but I assure you I felt murderously toward that man. "Women sometimes talk just as loud In cars, but not the women one knows, and most of them have the saving grace of disliking to air their private affairs in public "Another bore in cars is the man who stares, who selects some woman as a victim and fixes his eyes upon her. Try as she will, she doesn't seem to be able to get away from his gaze. That is one reason women dislike the seats that face each other in the cars; they prefer the front ones. Pretty girls who don't mind being stared at will sit near the door. "There are so many things that happen in street cars that are tests of a person's good breeding. For in stance, it is not at all necessary, be cause a man you happen to know sits with you, that he should pay your fare; of course this depends a good deal upon the way he does it whether It is objectionable or not. If you know him very slightly he should never presume. A St. Paul girl who has lived in Europe for years said to me the other day that she would never think of offering to pay the fare of a friend over there; it is regarded as in sulting. Then, again, if you take a postage stamp from a friend and he tries to give it to you, it simply makes you uncomfortable. Tact governs these things; the well bred person knows when to accept a favor and when not to. "But, as I said in the beginning, one of the greatest trials to a woman is the street-car bore who talks in a loud voice and makes her conspicu ous. He never seems to realize that you are not delighted to meet him, but he beams upon you and tells you that you are stout or thin, or looking well or poorly, and you wish lightning ■would strike hiru, and yet you continue to smile."

ABOUTPEOPLE ANOTHINGS The indoor picnic is a form of en tertainment that is popular in Phila delphia. It is something like a buffet luncheon, but the guests are expected to help themselves. On a side table are placed piles of plates, cups and saucers, napkins, knives, forks and spoons, ice water, etc., while the cen ter dining room table Is loaded with salads, cold chiken, pie, hot escalloped oysters, sandwiches, olives and rad ishes, preserves, candies and fruit. Everyone helps himself, and the only time a servant appears is when a dish needs replenishing. Indoor picnics are in especial favor with the young set, and the guests do hot usually exceed a dozen in number. A sad state of affairs has been re vealed among the women of England by the application for advice which a certain mother made to a police magis trate anent her daughter's habit of tight lacing. What kind of advice the magistrate found himself in a posi tion to give the cable advices do not state, but of course he gave it. SMART PEDESTRIAN SUIT.

It is In dark and light gray Scotch mixture wool; the fine gore skirt clears the ground, the deep plaits being left free from the knees down. The smart, long basque coat is semi-fitting, and is lined throughout with gray silk. The collar and belt are of dark gray velvet. The simple, new hat is of black velvet folds, with a plaque of white beaver felt, embroidered in black chenille. Among other things, however, he did say that he knew a young woman*who will remain a confirmed Invalid all her life as a result of the practice. A writer in a London newspaper says there is scarcely a fashionable woman who does not tight-lace. "To such an extent has the evil grown," he says, 'that at a certain famous musicale in London orders for gowns from wom en whose waist measurements ar£ over twenty-two inches are delicately but firmly declined. "We do not care to risk our reputa tion by gowning any but the most fashionable women," explained the principal recently, "and no woman with a large waist can look well in a frock designed for one who has culti vated the short hip figure. So if a customer comes to us wearink the old fashioned style of corsets and does not seem inclined to conform to newer ideas she must go elsewhere for her gowns. "We have heaps of customers whose measurements are three or four inches Bmaller than they were last year, and in almost every case this is due to the tight lacing demanded to acquire the new figure. Quite young girls are the worst offenders, and I am Quite sure we have not made a gown this season for a debutante whose waist measure ment exceeded twenty inches." This is a form of bondage that the American woman can scarcely imag ine. A well known minister of the gospel, who is noted for his urbanity, democ racy and ability to Inspire confidence in his fellow creatures, was passing through the Grand Central station the other day, in company Avith a Compan ion divine, of whose esteem he was ap preciative. They- had been talking of THE ST. PAUL GLOBE, SATURDAY SEPTEMBER 19, 1903, various experiences as to getting checks cashed in places where they were not known. "I've had some narrow escapes," said the venerable divine of benign countenance, "but I don't believe I've ever been refused outright." "i should think not," replied the younger man, knowing this to be his companion's tender point. "You radi ate confidence " Just at this point the courteous old man noticed two heavy laden females carrying between them three bursting valises, under the weight of which they were fairly staggering. Their gowns and gait proclaimed them deni zens of verdantville, as with an eye on the clock and another on the shift ing trains they elbowed their way to ward the rear exit. Instantly the doc tor stepped forward with a couteous "Allow me," and extended his free hand toward the burden nearest him.- His other held his own grip and a small satchel, which, indeed, were far from new. The puffing individuals stopped shoit in their Wild career through the building and sharply eyed the reverend. Their glasses traveled from his face .to his bag 3 and back again. Then one of them found her voice. "And that's your little game, is it?" said she. "Ye're one o' them green goods gold brick creaters what think they can hoodwink us country folks, but yer can't! Get along with yer in nings. Yell get nothing from us; we ain't the greenies yer take us fer." And they puffed on to the waiting train, leaving their would-be benefac tor speechless with mortification. ITEMS FROM EVERYWHERE Few women have discarded more suitors than Miss Ellen Herndon Ar thur, daughter of the former president. Now she is engaged to Charles Pink erton. Miss Arthur is by no means young, and it is purely her own choice that has caused her spinsterhood. Her fiance is a partner in the Wall street firm of Havemeyer & Pinkerton, and is a prominent member of the Univer sity club. Miss Arthur has had an in teresting, if unsettled life. Independ ently wealthy, she has traveled about the world with her brother, Chester Alan Arthur, who married only a few years ago. Brother and sister received much attention wherever they visited. Many winters were passed in Cairo, where the Arthurs mingled with the "English crowd." It was here that many men were rejected by Miss Ar thur.

" 13ignature of I^^/; 4-&£c£6&i of Mrs. Lawrence Turnure, of New York, is said *q have been among the number. In Paris, where the Arthurs were guests of Miss f^anny Reed, Miss Ar thur resumed hei? conquests, but im poverished nobility found her unyield ing. Thence she went to Colorado Springs, where she was admired im mensely, in appearance the president's daughter is striking, if not beautiful. She is tall and dark, with fine brown eyes. She clothes her graceful figure to advantage. Her chief charm is her accent; that has a trace of French. Her conversation is unusually brilliant. Having made a distinct impression on the Newporters, Miss Emily Taylor returned to her mother in Paris. Miss Taylor is a niece of the elder Mrs. Pierre Lorill%rd. She interested the fashionable set, and Henry Walters, the millionaire bachelor, gave a luncheon for her aboard the Narada that some thought significant. She is a pretty girl, with a pink-and-white complexion, a pretty manner of speaking and much vivacity. Her mother has reared her according to French customs, and to the unrestrained Newport girl Miss Emily was a revelation. She and Miss Nathalie Schenck became fast friends. But this was not Miss Taylor's first ap pearance in our society. The party given in Sherry's by Mrs. Lorillard a few months after the death of her hus band was ostensibly to mark the debut of her niece, although in reality it was to show her mourning was at an end. The ball was a fiasco, but that was not the fault of the pretty "bud." Otero, the Spanish dancer, never is happy unless floing something off the stage to amuse the Parisians. Recent ly she was ejected from the Grand opera house. Tlven.her losses at Monte Carlo were supposed to have swept away her fortune. Now the dancer has had herself photographed clad so scantily that even Paris is shocked. These Otero photographs are selling like hot cakes. She is shown with her bosom flashing with gems. In fact, the jewels serve as drapery. The dancer wears a stomacher of brilliants, and her bosom is criss-crossed with chains and ropes of pearlfc. One diamond or nament is ten inches square. The Smart Set in Japan. The smart set in Japan does not know its own mind. The Japanese are arrogant enough to prefer their own institutions to those of other countries; at the same time, they wish to join the great powers; and, to do this, they must accept the fashions of the hated West. For, in their hearts, the Jap anese do hate the West, though they are sharp enough to see that no nation which does not wear trousers can be a great power. So, in Japan there are two smart sets, the breeched and the unbreeched; and, as there are many Japanese who practice several reli gions, so are there many who live two lives. The official smart set, the set which embraces ambassadors and cabinet ministers and politicians and civil servants generally, wear trousers in public. But follow home the immacu late field marshal or pompous courtier, and, within five minutes, you will find him minus breeches or knee-breeches, and comfortably enveloped in a ki mono, probably squatting on the floor. The Japanese who wear European dress do not like to wear it; on the con trary, they are as anxious to be rid of it as is a fat woman of her stays. Those who know the court only, would imagine Japan to be far more foreignized than it really is. The great politicians, and a few other great no blemen, live in foreign houses, use for eign furniture, give dinner parties in the foreign style, eat with knives and forks, sit on chairs, and dress like Christians in Sunday attire. Then, as I have said, the emperor requires that European dress be worn at his garden parties—of which he has at least two every year—a cherry-blossom party and a chrysanthemum party.—Douglas Sladen, in October Smart Set. One may expect a series of Vander bilt balls this winter. It is a time-hon ored custom in this family to entertain for debutantes who-' are relatives. Miss Ruth Twombly, tall and fair, ha,s come out in Newport, and this winter she will be one of the most prominent "buds." If she proves to be as great a success as her elder sister, Miss Flor ence Twombly, she will be the belle of the season. Miss Florence is admired greatly. She possesses physical charm and a manner that Is distinguished. She is athletic —in fact, she is of the best type of American girl. Miss Ruth resembles her sister. These girls are great heiresses and, they have only one WHIRL JOURNEYS END As the train came to a stop Howard Monroe glanced out of the window of the Pullman. "Twenty-four hours more," he murmured. "Well, it can't be helped—by George, that's a pretty girl. Nice old lady with her, too. Hope they'll come in here." Next moment his hopes were real ized, as the two women entered the car, guided by an obsequious porter, who deposited a dress suit case and an umbrella in the section opposite. "Be here about ten minutes, ma'am," he said in answer to a question from thp elder; "got to cut in some sleepers and a diner." "Thank you. Better sit down, Aunt Bessie." . But the elder woman shook her head. "I do wlgh you had some one to go with you, Dorothy," she exclaim ed, in tones Howard could not help overhearing. "I can't bear to have you go alone. Tpur uncle never would let you if he hadn't been sick in bed. You're sure you don't mind?" "I don't mind tljie least bit in the world, auntie. We bachelor girls have to learn to do for ourselves." "Bachelor girls, indeed 1" The eld ers lady sniffed awhile Howard felt an unaccountable thrill of pleasure pass through him. "Old maids we used to call them. A girl's a girl, no matter what she says,- and I don't like to see one traveling alone. It wasn't con sidered proper in my young days." "I know," returned the girl softly. "But traveling has changed so since then, even down in this dear little out of-the-way corner of the South. Why, what could harm me?" "Oh, nothing, I suppose, but I don't like it. You wouldn't even take a lunch with you," she added irrelevant ly, her hospitable Southern heart ag grieved. "It seems so inhospitable to send anyone away without something to eat." "You're awfully good, Aunt Bessie, but, indeed, itwasn't worth while. I'll get dinner and breakfast in the dining car and be in New York for lunch." A sudden clanging made the. elder brother with whom to divide this wealth. The mother Inherited $10,000, --000 from the William H. Vanderbllt estate. Since his marriage Mr. Twom bly has taken advantage of these Van derbilt connections and Is credited .with enormous wealth on his own account. Packard-Richardson. Special to The Globe. CROOKSTON, Minn., Sept. 18.— Last evening, in this city, at the resi dence of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. O. H. Richardson, occurred the marriage of Frank E. Packard to Mlsh Bulah Richardson. Only some twenty five of the immediate relatives were present. Rev. Alfred E. Peterson, of this city, officiated, and a wedding dinner was served.

Poems Worth Reading j THE VESTAL STAR. The day has said good night, and gone to sleep; Each drowsy bird lies dreaming in his nest. A sweet, transparent light low in the West Still lingers tenderly, as if to keep A memory of the past alive. Stars creep Timidly forth, and Venus with her crest Of diamond-splendor hovers, loveliest, As vestal-guardian of the violet deep. The star of love reigns also in my heaft. Amid the somber shadows of its night Pours the soft radiance of her holy light As from a lamp hung in a shrine apart; And thou, O Loveliness, its vestal art To keep the flame forever pure and bright! —Nathan Haskell Dole in October Smart Set. COURAGE. Beoause-I hold it sinful to despond. And still not let the bitterness of life Blind me with burning tears, but look beyond Its tumult and strife; Because I lift my head above the mist. Where the sun shines and the broad breezes blow, But every ray and every raindrop kissed That God's love doth bestow. Think you I find no bitterness at all? No burden to be borne, like Christian's pack? Think you there are no ready tears to fall Because I keep them back? Why should I hug life's ills with cold reserve— To curse myself and all who love me! Nay! A thousand times more good than I de serve God gives me every day; And each one of these rebellious tears Kept bravely back, He makes a rain bow shine; Grateful I take His slightest gift, no fears Nor any doubts are mine. Dark skies must clear, and when the clouds are past. One golden day redeems a weary year; Patient <I listen, sure that sweet at last Will sound his voice of cheer. Then vex me not with chiding. Let me be. I must be glad and gTateful to the end. I grude you not your cold and darkness —me The flowers of light befriend. woman start. "Gracious!" she ex claimed, "I'll be carried off. Good-by, Dorothy. Write as soon as you get to New York. I'll be anxious till I hear." The two hurried to the platform, where the girl stood smiling and wav ing until the train was well under way. So well under way was it, indeed, that, as she turned to enter the car, a sud den lurch threw her violently to one side and made her grasp the rail to steady herself. As she did so, her purse, hung to her belt by a chain, flew open and sent most of its contents at large through the yet unclosed doors of the vestibule. Unaware of this, however, Miss Ver non walked to her seat, glancing around her just in time to see How ard watching her. Both were think ing of the good lady's anxious hospi tality, and before they could recover themselves they had smiled squarely into one another's eyes. With quickly stiffened lips, Dorothy sank into her seat. As she did so, her purse swung forward into her lap, ex posing its emptiness to her startled gaze. With a gasp of dismay, she seized and examined It. Her ticket was safe in an Inner compartment, but every cent of her money was gone. It did not take her long to decide on the moment of her loss, nor the hope lessness of repairing it. Miss Vernon was a very independent young woman, who on more than one occasion in the four years that had elapsed since she had begun to earn her own bread had seen her funds depleted nearly to the vanishing point, yet never before had she found herself entirely penniless. There was nothing to be done, however, to telegraph to Aunt Bessie for more money would be to frighten that lady almost to death, and there was no one eIBQ on whom she felt at liberty to call. She must simply resolve to make the best of her journey, all twenty four hours of it, without money. Meanwhile, Howard had been watch ing the girl out of the corner of his eye, admiring her more every moment. He had noted the look of vexation that The real heroines of every day are in our nomes. Frequently, how- 1 •ver^it is a mistaken and useless heroism. Women seem to listen to every call of duty except the supreme one that tells them to guard their health. How much harder the daily tasks become when some derangement of the female organs makes every movement painful and keeps the nervous system unstrung? Irritability takes the place of happiness and amiability: and weakness and suffering takes the place of health and strength. As long a^ they can drag themselves around, women continue to woik and perform their household duties. They have been led to believe that suffering is necessary because they are women. What a mistake! The use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound will banish pain and restore happiness. Don't resort to strong stimulants or nar cotics when this great strengthening, healing remedy for women ia always within reach. FREE MEDICAL ADVICE TO WOMEN. If there is anything in your case about which you would like special advice, write freely to Mrs. Pinkham. No man will see your letter. She can surely help you, for no person in America has such a wide experience in treating female ills as she has had. She has helped hundreds of thousands of women back to health. Her address is Lynn, Mass., and her advice is free. You are very foolish if you do not accept her kind invitation. For proof read the symptoms, suffering and cure recited in the following letters: "Deab Mrs. Pinkham :— I wish to express to you the great benefit I have derived from your advice and the use of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound. My trouble was female weakness in its worst form and I was In a very bad condition. I could not perform my household duties, my back ached, I was extremely nervous, and I could not eat or Bleep, and the bearing-down pains were terrible. My husband spent hundreds of dollars to get me well, and all the medicine that the doctors prescribed failed to do me any good ; I resorted to an operation which the physician said was necessary to restore me to health, but I suffered more after it than I did before; I had hemorrhages of the womb that nothing could seem to stop. "I noticed one of your advertisements and wrote you for advice, I re ceived your reply and carefully followed all instructions. I immediately began to get stronger, and in two weeks was about the house. I took eight bottles of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and continued following your advice, and to-day I am a well woman. Your remedies and help are a Godsend to suffering women, and I cannot find words to thank you for what you have done for me." —Mrs. Lottie V. Nayloh, 1328 N. J. Aye., N.W., Washington, D. C.

Mum. froze the smile with which she had unintentionally favored htm, and had promptly averted his eyes, as if In hopes that the girl's wrath might glance off his broad shoulders. Thus, turned away, he had missed seeing her discovery of her open purse and her consequent consternation. When he had ventured to look again, she was staring straight ahead of her with what seemed to him a most inscrut able expression. In reality she wus thinking of the luncheon she had re fused and pondering the great truth that even a modern dining car is of little avail unless one had the price of a meal. As the-afternoon wore away Howard began to curse the conventionalities. Here he was within a few feet of this peerless girl—as he had already begun to term her —and yet to all practical .purposes was miles and miles away. He had always been slow to scrape ac quaintance, even with men, and, so far as he could remember, had never in his life done so with a woman. Un less Dorothy—he heard her aunt call her Dorothy—should give him an open ing, he told himself sadly, that he should never venture to address her. After awhile a waiter passed through the car announcing dinner. Howard was hungry, but determined to wait until Dorothy should go in. The car might be crowded and he might be compelled to sit with her at the same table, where he might hope that the chances of the meal might enable him to address her. But wait as he might, Dorothy showed no signs of budging, and, long after the last call for dinner had been circulated, he was forced to go in alone. While dining he wondered over the situation. The girl had eaten nothing since she came on board the train nearly six hours before. She had no lunch with her —not even a box of candy. She was a solid, healthy girl, not by any means one of those fragile beauties who live on air, and should have had an appetite to correspond. What the dickens could be the matter? The next morning was the same. Dorothy sat motionless, looking in the eyes of the by-this-time besotted youth, lovelier than ever. As a matter of fact, the lack of her morning coffee had given the girl a headache, while the lack of other food made her savage and miserable. At last came a crisis. Just as the waiter pased through with his '"last call for breakfost in the dining car," the train stepped, not at a station, but out in a field. After ten minutes had crept by without sign of move ment, Howard, who had been waiting: for breakfast as he had waited for dinner, went out to investigate. Soon he came back and went straight up to Dorothy with determination in his eyes. "I beg your pardon," he said, with a composure that astonished himself, "but we have been stopped by a wreck across the track and will be delayed at least six hours. They are going to cut off the diner and send It back as soon as breakfast is over. If you want anything to eat you had bet ter get it now, before it is too late." Six hours longer! The tears came into Dorothy's eyes, and her lids viuiv- ered pathetically. How could she bear it? "Thank you," she Bald, as bravely as she could. "Thank you! Hut I'm not hungry." Not hungry. Harry stared .it her incredulously. To his certain knowl edge she had eaten nothing for twen ty-four hours. Not hungry! The thine: was preposterous. He glanced at her white cheeks, then, with sudden sus picion, at her pocketbook. "1 haven't had any breakfast myself yet," ho said. "Won't you take pity on me and be my guest? I can't bear to eat alone." For an instant the girl gazed at him while a mist swam before her • "Thank you very much," sin- Bald, humbly. "I —I lost all my money over board a few minutes after we started yesterday, and I'm nearly starved to death." A year later Mr. and Mrs. Howard Monroe, in the newest of new clothes, were taking the same trip northward. Aunt Bessie had Just left them and they had settled themselves for the twenty-four-hour trip before them. Howard turned to his rnonth-oM bride reflectively. "Just to think," he said softly, "if I hadn't spoken to you a year ago we shouldn't have been here today. I hesitated a long time be fore I ventured." "A long time! I should think so." There was much emphasis in the words. Howard appeared startled. "Too long, was It?" he asked. "If I hadn't spoken when I did what would you have done?" "Done? Well," reflectively, "if you had delayed much longer I believe I should have asked you myself—and hated you ever afterwards!" "Instead of —" she repeated, roguish ly, "instead of —suppose you guess."—< San Francisco Call. RLHMNS The simplest remedy for lndtf Mtion, constipation.
