The GIri of the Period


II WAS a young woman, with as
many white muslin fiOunces round
her as the plan ct Saturn has rings,
that did it She gave the music stool
a twirl OF two and fiuffed down on it
like q whirl of soap suds in a hand

as if she was going to fight for the
champions belt Then she worked
her wrists and hands TO Timber 'em, /
supp Ise, and spread out her fingers
till they looked as though they would
pretty much cover the keyboard
from the growing end to the little
.squeaky one. Then those two hands
made q jump at the keys as if they
were a couple Of tigers coming down
on a flock Of black and white sheep,
and the piano gave a great howl as
though its tail had been trOd on.
Dead stop-sO still you could hear
your hair growing. Then another
Jump, and another howl, a. if the
piano had two tails, and you trOd on
both OF 'em at once, and a great clat-

some hesitation for obvious reasons
in repeating the story, but there
would perhaps be no ImprOpriety in

A Defense Of Pretty Women.

After all, is the world so very absurd
in its love of pretty women? Is wo-
man so very ridiculous in her chase
after beauty? a pretty woman is do
ing a wOman's work IN the world, not
making speeches, nor making pud-
dings, but making life SUMMER and
more beautiful. Man has fOrswOrn
the pursuit OF beauty altogether. Does
he seek it for himself, he is guessed to
be poetic, there are whispers that his
morals are no better than they should
be. In a society resOlute to be ugly,
there is no post for an AdOnis, but
that of model or guardsman. But
woman does for mankind what man
has ceased to do. Her aim from very
childhood is to be beautiful. Even as
a school girl she notes the progress of
her charms, the deepening color Of her
hair, the growing symmetry of her
arm, the ripening contour OF her
cheek. We watch, with silent inter-
est, the mysterious reveries Of the
maiden she is dreaming of coming
beauty, and painting for the glories Of
eighteen. Insensibly she becomes an
artist, her room is a studio, her glass
an academy. The joy Of her toilet is
the joy of Raphael over his canvas, of
Michael Angelo over his marble. She
is creating beauty in the silence and
the loneliness of her chamber; she
grows like any art creation, the result
of patience, of hope, of a thousand
delicate tOuchings aud TetOuchings.
Woman is never perfect; never COM
plete. a restless night undOes the
beauty of the day; sunshine blurs the
evanescent cOlOring of her cheek
frost nips the tender outlines of her
face into sudden harshness. Care
plows its lines across her brow; moth
erhOOd DESTROYS the elastic lightness
of her form; the bloom of her cheek
the quick flash of her eye, fade and
vanish as the years go by. But wo-
man is still true to her ideal. She
won't know when she is beaten, and
she manages to steal fresh victories
| even in her defeat. She invents new
| conceptions of wOmanly grace she
rallies at forty, and fronts US with the
beauty of womanhOOd; she makes q
last stand at sixty, with the beauty oi
age. She falls like Caesar, wrapping
her mantle round her-"buried IN
woolen! itwOuld q saint provoke !!
Death listens pitifully to the longingi
of lifetime, and the wrinkled face
Asmiles with something Of the pretti'
ness Of eighteen.-iSdtlrddy ReUletc

DOdgln' the Hatter

Mr.. DodgiOn, the halter, of Inde-
pendence, Mo-, was very polite man,
mild and bland in manner, and inno-
cent of all suspicion. One bright,
beautiful morning in June, he had q
fashionable customer in the person OF
q young man, handsomely dressed,
combed, gloved, caned and mustach-
ed; just out of college, and just on his
way to the drawing room. He select
ed fashionable hat adjusted ft on
the side of his head, fingered before

necktie, twitching his mustache,
twirling his cane and lavishing laud.
able admiration on himself, and then
turning to the smiling proprietor, he
muttered something about his pocket
book in his trunk, his present pressing
engagement, and directing his old
hat to be sent to his room, at the ho-
tel, at two o'clock, when he would be
hack and pay for the new. The hat
disappeared around the corner with
the nice young man under it, and the
twirling little cane flashing the sun
light about it.
Two o'clock came, and the old
hat with a neatly made out bill for
the new, were dispatched by a clerk
to room No. 13. The halter awaited
his return with some anxiety; nor
did he wait long. The clerk hurried
back with the information that a
young man of that description had
Just left on the stage coach. Mr.. DOd-
gion hastened to the hotel to find il
too true. Could it be possible that
such a nice young man should de-
ceive him? As he turned to leave
the office, the clerk informed him
that the coach had to call at a Ger.
tain place in the city, and possibly il
might be detained. He caught the
idea, and made for the indicated spOt
as fast as legs, his flesh and the heat
would permit. After going up anC
