LITTLE GIRLs-Some one, with a mono
monia for the dear ones, says of them: "There
is something inexpressibly sweet about little
girls Lovely, pure, innocent, ingenious, un-
suspecting, full of kindness to brothers, babies
and everything. They are sweet little human
flowers, diamond dew-drops in the breath OF
morn. What apity they should ever become
women-firts and heartless coquettes"
The enthusiast is slightly mistaken as to the
coquettes. A bearded friend who has passion
for the "wceD feminines, and who has studied
them. assures us that coquetry comes by nature
and thatit makes its appearance contemporane
ously with lisping. Italmost cost him his beard
moustache and all, the other day. He wa!
toying with little queen of scant four, VIII
would not be induced to grant his entreat,
for "kss.'' Finally, with an arch look a
his hirsute muzzle, she demolished him wit
the reason why she wouldn't
tEan't dit in too much wtthers.'
