F. LuMMIThe average man has never seemed to object to a woman's working as much as she pleases in any line he has first pointed out to her; but there are men who complain that women are becoming altogether too independent. A well known, gentleman of this cityremarked the other day that highlyeducated women care less about marriage than their less cnltnred and apparently, in his opinion, more womanly sisters. He says women should wish to marry—therefore, they should not be educated. Does education so change a woman’s nature that she no longer finds marriage a desirable thing? Impossible. A woman is still a woman, whether educated or ignorant. As long as the world lasts, andhuman nature prevails, a woman will fall in love and marry when the right man comes. It is not marriage that the educated woman objects to; but the usual conditions of marriage.It is true that the intelligent, independent woman will not marry— merely for the sake of being married —any man that happens to ask her. And she is not likely to marry a man she does not love for the sake of a home, when she knows she can earn a still more comfortable home by her own independent efforts. Few wives are allowed to have anything to say about the spending of the income. One can hardly blame a talented and cultivated woman for hesitating before giving up a pleasant profession and assured income, to take a position involving harder work, greater responsibilities, and many trials, where she is supposed never to earn a dollar, and seldom has one to spend.♦ * ♦broidery, mode gloves.Miss Kimball, black diagonal, goldcord trimmings.Mrs. Culbertson, black Armure and velvet corsage, boquet of cut flowers.Miss Ropes, black dotted tulle over black silk.Mrs. Stimpson, black silk, ruchings at neck and sleeves.Miss Morris, pearl gray silk and black velvet, gray gloves.Mrs. Hogg, serpent green Henrietta with gold embroidery.Miss Arter, coachman’s brown suit, brown gloves.Mrs. March, black silk and velvet black undressed kid gloves.Only the relatives and intimate friends of the family were present, asfollows: Mr. and Mrs. Geo.

John KHworth, Ed Perry,Warwick Benedict and Clifford Howe.Ladies’ journals have a great deal of advice to young ladies concerning rules of behavior for their sex but seem to think etiquette ought to be all on the young woman’s side. Either they imagine young men know all about how to act in company or that ’tis unnecessary they should know. For every word of advice to young men there are a thousand to girls, and yet taking everything into consideration more young men in society need a few suggestions than the average society girl who intuitively knows just what is the correct thing to say and do. under all circumstances. Ask a girl what is her ideal of an escort, and she will tell you that it is he who takes her to the dance and provides for her entertainment before seeking his own. He does not seat her along the chairs against the wall and leave her to get her program filled and be introduced to the company as best she may. He does not let her forget the pleasure she has bestowed on him by* consenting to allow him to be her escort.A Cobweb Party.Last evening Miss Mamie Stimpson gave a Cobweb party to about thirty of her friends at ner home on Tennessee street.The unique and original invitations were designed by Mr. Ed. Stimpson, each corner of the web representing a spider-web with a large spider in the centre enticing a poor little fly into his web. As the cobweb party is new in Lawrence it would perhaps bewell to describe it to those not in-*itiated into the mysteries. A mostintricate web was formed in the dining-room by a wicked spider and each strand forming the web passed into the hands of the guests. Each guest was required to follow his string and extricate it from the much-entangled web, the confusion causing much labor and merriment. Unbounded surprise greeted each happy “fly” as he came to the end of his strand and found some cleverly concealed prize awaiting him. The favors were very handsome, and consisted of horrid spiders,bonbon boxes, fans, scarf-pins, etc., each person being particularly fortunate in attaining an appropriate present.A delightful luncheon was served at 11 o’clock, and at midnight after music and games the guests took leave of their hostess with many assurances of the pleasures they had experienced.lt;lt;iIlt;11tII£tazatrtii a c » t odacctie:Pclt;Ttltlelt;A H!gSi Noon Wedding.Last Thursday the elegant residence of Mr. and Mrs. G.
