A Champion Of Beauty Gets TANGLED.

Winnie Ream, that national pet to whom
no one can deny pluck IL they do genius, has
bought house on Pennsylvania avenue,
near the capitol, where she and her mother
received yesterday. No doubt they had
many visitors, for Vinnie's friends here are
not only numerous but enthusiastic. and
lose no opportunity Of manifesting their re-
gard for the little woman whose fame has
travelled far and wide. That one champion
expressed his admiration not wisely but too
well, on recent occasion, appears from a 1T
tie story heard in New York, and which
runs as follows:
At the last American institute fair in New
YORK, one 81 the greatest attractions was
Miss Ream, who modelled before the audience
statue or bust, / forget which she happened
to be engaged on. Among the many watch
ing her deft little fingers was gentleman
whose attention was attracted for q moment
from her by the remark of lady near by.
DO you really suppose It Is her own e''
she said to a friend. ''Oh, nor' said the
second lady. ''Tis quite impossible. don't
see how you could believe it." ...-

voice trembling with suppressed indignation,

material. Can you be so blinded by preju-
dice? have seen her set it up myself, this
morning."
Both ladies turned and looked at him with
an expression which he failed to understand,
till one spoke:
''Of course, if you have seen her PIT 1t up
yourself" she answered, with shadow OF sar-
casm in her tone, i've accept your statement.
We really could not believe any young lady
had so much hair. However, you evidently
know great deal more about it than we do. "
The gentleman says he always did think
''back hair' was a snare and delusion. but
