Gottlieb T. Harnett, New York florist, In lamenting tho fart thai tho modern dances linve destroyed tho demnnd for corsage bouquets. News Item. (To the tunc of old school song.) Beside a Wall Flowor nt a ball, A modest violet stood; Ilcr stalk wns crushed, she blushed for all Tho violets of the wood. Oh, Bho had been a simple flower, And Innocent her lot; Yet sho had dnnced for half an hour, Tho wicked "Turkey Trot." And she had been a wimple llowcr Of Bwcct and gentlo birth; Had passed her youth In virtue's bower, In cliasto and homely mirth; Hut hero, tonight, before tho world, Ilcr heart had felt the lauce; For wildly, madly, hIio was hurled Jn Texas Tommy dance. Bho saw tho tear dropH gently fnll From out tho Wall Flower's eyes; "Oh, Wall Flower, dear." I heard her call, "I want to sympathize, I feel with you the dance today Is quite the devil's snare." "I cant," I hoard the Wall Flowor say, "Can't dance tho Qrlxxly Ilonr." "Dot do not weop. pray, Wall Flow er, please?" Tho violet- sweetly said; E'en ns tho frlBky "Frisco Freeze" Was danced by youth and maid. "I can not dance, ah, woo Is mo" Tho Wnll Flower'H Joy was gone; "How can I show agility? 1 hnvo my corsets on." The Violet blushed tho shado of plum, And wept In vain regret; "Vllo, oh, let the world becoino; It Is not for Violet." She wilted, withered on hor stalk, And dropped her blushing head; The dance, tho theme of deathless talk, At last had claimed Hh dead! IF THIS man whoso attentions are without Intentions, and who wins a woman's heart Just to amuse himself wltu It for an hour, Is entitled to the medal for tho meanest man; If tho mean est girl Is tin. grafting girl who mnkes a young man spend moro upon hor than bo can afford, oven though ho has to defraud others to Kot tho money; what typo of wlfo Is the monnost wlfo? I think It Is the whining and complaining wife. says Dorothy Dh. I think It Is tho wife who sees her husband toiling like a slnvo for her. and who takes ov-e-vfing that he gives her without thanks and reproaches him because It Isn't more. Tho wlfo who Is fllrtntloiiB nnd fond of the admiration of other men must give her husband tunny a bad qunrter of an hour, tho wlfo who Is wasteful and extrava gant must bo an aggravation to tho ninu'ti soul as well ns to his pockotbook; the hlgh-tenipered wlfo must mako a husband regret that ho beolngs to that grade or society whore It Is not etiquette to uso n club on tho partner of your bosom; tho wife who nags must re concllo tho man who has got her to tho brevity of llfo and make him long for the peace nnd quiet of tho grave. AH of These, Though, Have Some Itedeemliig Virtue, But all of these faulty wives have sonio redeeming virtue. Tho fascinator Is as fascinating to her husband ns sho Ih to other men. Tho wnster and tho spoud-thrlft Is euro to bo easy-going and laughter loving nnd generous uiiturod. The high-tempered woman Is almost- In varlably a real helpmate, full of energy, who works herself to death for her husband and children, whilst oftouer than not tho very aourco of a wife's nagging is her overdovotlon to her husband and hor ceaseless anxiety for him. Therefore, a man may bo occa sionally green-eyed with Jealous), or barrassed with bills, or tremble at tho thought of the curtnlu lec ture, and the questions he Is duo to face at home and ot find some tnvor In matrimony. Not so ho who has had the mls fortuno to espouse tho daughter of tho horso leech, who Is forovor cry ing; "Moro" .More! More!" Sho Is hoartless, pitiless, conscienceless, with veins that run Ice water In stead of blood, and the only emo tion sho over experiences Is that of Insatiable greod. To hor a husband Is nothing but a money-making machluo, valuable only In proportion to tho dollars ho can turn out. If ho Is sick and suffers Bho Is furious, simply be cause his earning power Is de creased. K he dies sho Is recou- CONTRIHUTIONS concerning social happenings, Intended for publication In tho socloty depart ment of Tho Times, must bo sub mitted to tho editor not later than C o'clock p. m Friday of each wook. (Exceptions will bo nllowcd only In caBcs whoro tho cvonts occurred Inter than tho tlmo mentioned.) died by tho Insurance or the pros pect that opens up to her of marry ing some other man who 1b an oven better cash register. This predatory wlfo Is ns relent less ns any Apncho for she tortures her husband to death by slow de grees. Sho starves his heart for af fection nnd appreciation. She bronka his spirit by her reproaches. Sho saps his courngo by making him feel that he Is a failure. She robs him of all tho roward of his toll by never being satisfied with tho results. Such a woman marries a man knowing his circumstances, know ing that ho is poor, and that tils wlfo will have tho lot- of a poor man's wife, and that sho will hnvo to dress plainly, nnd work and economize. Nevertheless, Instend of making tho best of a situation into which she has gone of her own accord with her eyes wldo open, she be gins to fret, nnd whtno, and com plain. Tho husband Is doing his pnrt. He Is tolling like a dray, horso from enlry morning until dowoy eve; he Is denying himself every llttlo lux ury nnd treat that ho would like to have for tho sake of IiIh wife, and that she may hnvo pleasures he does not dream of Indulging him self In. Ho gives her tho best of everything ho tins and really more than ho can afford. Hut when ho comos homo of an evening, wenry and spent with his hard day's work, ho finds n cross, disgruntled, dissatisfied wlfo, whoso welcome Is a flood of reproaches be cause sho can't hnvo what richer women have. lint end of trying to mako hor little flat, or cottugo comfortable, she finds a million faults with It, and says there Is no uso In trying to keep Biieh a hole tidy. Instead of setting him down to n woll-cook-cd meal of simple food, garnished by good eheor, she serves 111 ill deli catessen iucb8CB, or stringy meat, and says that Is all that poor peo ple can afford to hnvo and Hint she could eat something If only she could go to flno rostnurants, nnd. have dainty food, sorvod on nower Indcu tables under the palms, ns lucky women who hnvo married suc cessful men. Worse still, sho oponly roproaehea hor husband beciiuso ho Isn't ns successful mid doesn't make us much money as some other man she knows, and she lets him see that sho cousldors him a rank failure, and herself to bo a martyr bo cause the Is his wlfo. Could any fate on enrth bo more bitter than that of tho man who Is literally working himself Into tho gravo for his family, nnd gives to thorn ovory cent ho onrns, beyond tho bare necessities of his board and clothoB, nnd who gets In return for nil this heroic offort and sacri fice nothing but lugratltudo nnd lack of appreciation fiom his wlfo, and is madQ to feel that ho has dragged her down In the world? Tho mon who endure whining wives desorvo to got tho first-class Carneglo horo modal or olso to bo sent- to tho Institution for tho Incur ablo feublo mlndod, But tho women who take tho work of a man's hands and tho devotion of his heart, and make no return for It excopt with coiuplalnts. nro tho meanest wives In tho world. Theirs Is tho sin of Ingratitude and that's tho blackest one on too c.ilondur.
