"Why, she said she was looking Tor lrl,

Miss ID. was pretty, and stylish too. She
had on q love Of $75 hat, and those pretty SIS
laced CATERS which the man makes under Cole
man Hoase. Her dress was the richest gros-
grain sage green, with pannisr, vatican, pol
onal5e, and court train. II contained exactly
70 yards ofthe 81 silk. On her pretty hands
were slx-bntlon gas light green kids, which
lost themselves under point lace undersleeves
and over diamond bracelets. On her arm she
carried 81 500 camel's hair shawl.
"This Is mothers, Mr.. Perkins, she remark
ed, al took il in case ofa rain, don't expect
10 have camel's hair and regular diamonds un-
til | am married. Mother. last words when
left home werr, "Now, Lizzie, don't ha intro

with the man l loyci--and could-if-we
could have nice elevator and have our meals
sent In from Delmonicos. Why those Parman
Stevens $1,000 garret suits are just as cozy as
They he !"
This, alas was the economical sweetnes, OF
my friend Gus, who could live in $4,000 gar
ret with the man she loved. These are the
economical young ladies' who come to Saratoga
aud deceive MS poor fellows--who ta,N yavret,
get our solitaries and then come the elevator

the dear creatures whom magnanimUns fathers
