Pjp1 W ' I llffiCS WEEKLY LETTER. BURLESQUE ON A POEM BRINGS ON A DISCUSSION. w ? I MRS. ARP EXPRESSES HERSELF. 0r William Realizes That He Is Only a Plain, Unrefined Specimen of the Genus Homo. The last letter I had about the poem [V was anonymous. Of course it was, for it read? "Man wants but little here below, So Young and Goldsmith say; But woman wants it all, you know And wants it right away." . Mrs. Arp was sewing on some infantile garment as I quietly laid the missive on her lap. She neither smiled a nor frowned nor stopped the play of ** * u t <<\r -\ Her neecue as sne remaraeu, -.uayue ? thej do, but they don't get it nor expect." "I reckon," said I, "that some stingy old benedict wrote that; some fellow who would spend more money on his horse than on his wife." "No," said Mrs. Arp, "it was some old bachelor whose rejected addresses have made him cynical and like Byron he vents his revenge in doggerel. When you go down town I wish you * would see Mr. Hicks about that dining room chair. Maybe he can put a new cane bottom to it. We need it sometimes when we have company, and that old sideboard ought to be revarnished and have new knobs. Do you know- how old that sideboard is?" "Yes," said I, "Jim Sumter made it in 1852. He was one of the best men and best workmen I ever knew. I paid him $50 for the sideboard. He was a well-read, well-bred man, a good neighbor and a good citizen, and I have respect for the sideboard. It is like an epitaph on his .tombstone and seems to read, 'Sacred to the memory of ?' Yes, I will see Mr. Hicks about ? the sideboard. Is there anything else in his line that you want?" "No," said she, '.'but you know we are obliged to have another extension table. We gave ours to Jesse when she was married, and have been using one that was left here three years ago, and now the owner has settled down and wants it. You had better attend to this right away." "Right away, right away," I mused. "But woman wants it all you know, And wants it right away." Mrs. Arp looked ot me and remarked, "I want these things for you and the children. It's precious little that I want for myself now." I don't think she admires the song or the sentiment. "I know it, I know it, my dear," said I. "There was a time when you wanted a good deal for yourself and it pleased me to gratify your every wish and more than you asked for. Nothing i was too good for you when I had the money. Silks and sables, lawns and muslins, a carriage and horses, Wilton carpets and damask curtains, and so forth, and so on, et cetera, e pluribus xxnnm. But anno domini kept rolling WA? n on?1 T r?iOAArnrA/1 VU ouu mo " (u cauiu auu a v& ov? that you were gradually losing your concern for yourself, and all your care was for your children. I was ruminating about this while you were stitching away so earnestly upon that little garment, for now your love and care have lapped over to another generation. The little grandchildren have come in for a share of your maternal love, and your personal wants have come down to a minimum. Of course you must be clothed as becomes the maternal head of numerous and lovely offspring, for if you are not a queen you have reigned in our home nearly as long as Queen Victoria has in England and?" "Well, that will do now," said my wife. "You had better go to town. Aunt Ann says the rice is out and the cowfeed too." "I was ruminating," said I, "how P fortunate it was that your ambition surrendered about the time my money did. You ceased to crave as fine things as I used to get you. You adapted your wants to our misfortunes. Why, forty years ago I would not have let you go about in that grizzly gray muslin. I had a contempt for cheap things, especially for you; didn't I, my dear?" "You certainly did," she said with a kind of sad, reminiscent smile in her tone of voice, "but this muslin is fgood enough now. But you had better go to town. There are four little grandchildren hereto dinner,and Aunt Ann wants the rice right away." "And wants it right away," I hummed to the tune of "Auld Lang Syne." Somehow I can't get that refrain out of my mind?"And wants it right way." Sometimes I think that men don't understand nor appreciate woman's fi' nature. She was created with a love for the beautiful, for ornament, for gems, jewels and gold and silverware ad damask and fine linen. She cau't help her nature, and this very nature proves that she is nearer heaven than we are. What do I care for diamonds? Not a cent. I wouldn't give a dollar for a bushel of them. An old-fashioned lin waiter with flowers painted 011 it is as good as a silver one to me. I wouldn't wash the windowglass more than once a year, and a wash-pan suits me as well as a china basin. But I recognize the fact that I f . am a man with an unrefined nature. The twelve gates of the new Jerusalem that are made of precious stones are no attraction to me; neither are the gold-paved streets that St. John saw ' in his vision. Bnt still I have hope of getting there and becoming more refined, for I do iovc flowers and ?'**&: . J \~ Jc: &nkjx. .r,:A *%< . ' ' pretty birds and orange trees and luscious fruits anil beautiful scenery and mountains and the great waters of the mighty sea. My wife and my daughters can spend half a day in looking at the beautiful things in the show windows in Atlanta, but I never stop to gaze or to admire, except, perhaps, to look at the photographer's display or the life-like models of lovely women that seem smiling at my three-score and ten. Al\oai.rotiAn TTl A Xiuauiil^ ?UU VWfICi V M V4V/AA WHVU ?? w that all good men have reverence for womankind and are conscious of her better nature, her better morals and emotions. Shakespeare and Scott write of women as ministering angels. Wadsworth says of her creation: "A perfect woman nobly planned. To warn, to comfort and command." No great poet save such a rake as Byron would have written: "As well believe a woman, or an epitaph, Or any other thing that's false." Even Solomon in all his glory with his wives and concubines said: "Young man, rejoice with the wife of thy Jouth, and be thou always ravished with er love." Edward W. Bok says in The Ladies' Home Journal, "No economy is so false and misguided as that which seeks to withhold one pleasure from the life of a good woman, a true wife or a loving mother. The best home a man can give her becomes tiresome if she is asked to live in it and stay in it 365 days in a year. The Lord knows that woman's life is hard enough. She travels a path of endurance and suffering to which the average man is an * -A T<1 ? ? mats enure biniuger. iucu ici uo mauo that path as pleasant, as easy and as bright as possible. Every dollar that a man spends on his home for the happiness and comfort of his wife will come back to him four-fold." That is true?all true. Better mend the broken pane or that sash cord or that gate latch and sometimes take an hour off from business and take her to ride. The Odd Fellows and Masons and Knights of Pythias are good insti1 tutions,brft should not come in between a man and his wife. The mother wants help with the children, for I tell you, my brethren, there is no care nor anxiety like nursing and caring for a little child, and nobody but a mother will do it willingly. A mother who has reared eight or ten children from infancy to maturity, and four years of the time during a pitiless war, when she had to flee from the foul invader with her little ones and hide them, half clad and always hungry, can say with Paul, "I have fought a good fight; I have finished my course." Yes, Paul said t^at, but he was an old KaoViolnr onrl tnow notVlint* of whftt A I ??o ? mother suffers. The most pathetic J line in all poetry is that of Fitz-Greene Halleck, where he apostrophizes death: "Come to the mother when she feels [ For the first time her first-born's breath." The death of a young mother in childbirth is the saddest of all nature's calamities. Maternal love?maternal interest! What is it that so inspires a woman to bear her fate?to suffer and be strong? ?Bill Abp in Atlanta Constitution. BAYARD'S GOLD CUP. Presented to the Ex-Ambassador by the American Society in London. The marvelous gold loving cup which was presented to Thomas Francis Bayard at the banquet tendered him in London by the American Society is a representation of the giant pumpkin given to Mr. Bayaixl by the United Service Club of New York City on Thanksgiving Day. The enormous vegetable was grown by Capt. Kramer, of the Third New York Cavalry. The cup's cover is surmounted by* a por-, trait bust of the ex-Ambassador.

The public actually refused to longer pay $100 for a machine which can be built for one-quarter that amount. A few makers saw this some time ago and put on the market cheaper machines at very greatly reduced prices which so cut into the business of the higher priced manufacturers that in pure self-defense they were compelled to bid good-bye to their old high prices. Why shonld not the same thing ocmtr wno.ivintintr mnehires? Thev V/... " - V" T> ., no doubt cost considerably loss to produce than bicycles, and yel some -of them are selling at the ridiculously high price of $100. It is fair to infer that a machine which sells al $50 costs close to $15 to manufacture. If a few large department stores in New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Chicago, etc., would arrange for large quantities to be manufactured for them by some one outside of a Trust the prices would come down to reasonable 4 figures as bate those of bicycles.

Ever since spinning was a type of womanly industry, from age to age it has been expected that beautiful apparel should clothe women. TO keep dainty belongings in good order it Is necessary to have them {troperly laundered. This Is especially true n the laundering of pretty summer gowns, which is now quite a fine art. To do the work properly, fill a ;;ub two-thirds full of warm water, dissolve the fourth of & cake of Ivory Soap (which will not fade the most delicate colors), add it to the water; wash the articles through it, rinse first in clear and then in blue water; wring, dip in thin starch, shake oat and hang on the line in the shade. When dry, sprinkle and iron. Gowns thus laundered will retain their freshness the entire season. Eliza R.
