THE WOMANLY WOMAN.
Gentleness and Refinement Are the ;
Chief Elements in Her
Education.
The big American banquet hall of
the Manhattan hotel was crowded
; with members of the Emma Willard !
association and their friends on the
occasion of the thirteenth annual ban
quet of the organization. Among the
| speakers were Chancellor MacCracken,
| Bishop Scarborough, of New Jersey,
| and Miss Spence, reports the New
: York Tribune, of recent date. “Hun
| dreds of young men and women,” said
| Miss Spence, “who have received their
I college degrees are not really edu
| cated. They are thoroughly instruct
ed, and perhaps amply equipped from
a technical standpoint. But education
means so much more than this. It
means individual development, cul
ture, character. In every walk in life,
to accomplish our purpose, we must
know clearly at the start what we
mean to do. If colleges and schools
would really succeed in turning out
educated men and women in the high
: est sense of the word, they must first:
define that term. Is it to stand for |
I nothing more than instruction in facts |
or other people's ideas? Or is it to
include soul culture, life broadening
: and true development and efficiency?
To my mind mothers are largely re
sponsible for a child’s (especially a
daughter’s) aimless life. The sole de
sire of, alas! so many, is that their
children shall have a good time while
they’re young. And this is right
enough, but they should remember
that the good time of the butterfly is
not necessarily the good time of the
girl, and that the true good time and
growth of character are not incompat
ible.
“True womanliness should be one of
! the chief elements of a young wom
! an’s education. The unpardonable sins
i of womanhood are hardness and
coarseness, dearth of gentleness and
any guise of selfishness. A virtue that
should be earnestly cultivated by the
woman of to-day is a greater sincer
ity in the manners and customs of
society. This is the contribution all
true women should make to the so
ciety of their time. Society needs gen
tle women in the true sense of that
word. Only that education is worth
while which stands for service to the
I world—in some form, material or im
material, and the latter is often the
I more real of the two. In fact, the
ideal, whatever it be, is the real—
! an oft said saying, but one as often
forgotten in the details of daily life.
“It is the privilege and no less the
duty of every one who aspires to be
I called an educator to ever hold up this
vision of the ideal, ever ‘follow the
gleam’—live the great revelation in
the details of daily life.”
AN UNLUCKY DEAL.
Illustrating; the Mistake of a Man
Who Tries to Help Around
the House.
When a married man gets out of his
j orbit, or off his half of the domestic'^
carpet, so to speak, the consequences
are always more or less disastrous to
I him, says the Detroit Free Press.
“We've just moved,” said an unhap
py-looking man in a little neighbor
| hood crowd of men w’ho were buying
their evening cigars at a corner to
bacco shop. “Or, rather, we are half
moved. Half our household truck has
gone over to the new place, and half
is still with us. Then I sold a lot, too,
and got myself tn awful hot water.
You know how it is when a man starts
out In his own house to do things
: without asking his wife.”
“Oh, yes; we know,” echoed all the
: others.
“In our stable attic," the man con
tinued, “we had a lot of old stuff
stored. I’ve heard my wife say a dozen
times that we must look it over and
sell a good deal of it the next time we
moved. To-day she was over to the
other house, and as I was kind of stand
ing round, not knowing where to take
hold next, along came a junk man
through the alley. 1 hailed him and
took him up in the stable attic; there
I sold him an old table, an old high
chair, a battered old crib and a car
pet. He gave me six dollars for the lot
I fourffl a box of old battered brass trays,
plaques and picture frames after he was
gone, and peddled those off at a nickel
apiece to some neighborhood children
who were tagging me around all day.
“Of course, a man never really knows
what he has sold until his wife tells
him; and to-morrow I’m to chase all
day after that junk man. I've sold our
best parlor carpet, taken up when sum
mer came In, my wife’s own highly
treasured infant’s high chair and a
crib which was also her mother’s, and I
a real mahogany table she had stored
away to have done over. She herself
had paid nine dollars for the old table, |
and was glad to get it at that. Old ta
bles are getting scarce, she says.”
“How about the brass objects?” some
one asked.
“Ob, I’ve got to go around and buy;
those back, too,” the man replied, sad- j
ly. “They were high-art beaten brass
nondescripts which my wife made her
self at the age of 13, and she says her
mother wouldn’t part with them for
anything.”
