lauguish. She is too tall and large to
affect the infantile 'or playful, so she
promenades, leaning heavily and dream
lily upon the arms of perhaps two gentle
men. She would take in third if she
only had more sides, for instance, If she
were octagon shaped; then she could dis
play more trophies. When lady aoci-
dentally becomes one of her party, she
makes the remark, as though it was very
creditable, that she must confess she
only enjoys the society of gentlemen.
Ladies have no attraction for her." She
pointedly and rudely omits introducing
gentlemen who visit her to any other
girl. Since she aspired to be belle she
has become vain, selfish and conceited.
The best thing for her is to be relegated
back to her humble home, for she is now
only ridiculous and absurd.

Hard ON the Chicago Aldermen.

A number Of Chicago ladies have
petitioned the Goddess Council of that
city to have the sessions regularly opened
with prayer These ladies recognize the
fact that the city is in the hands of a
set Of bummers who need the outpour-
ing Of the spirit. They offer to provide
a chaplain, or to come aud open the ses-
sion themselves. 1t remains to be seen
whether the refractory Aldermen will
accede to the request. The ladies say
in their petition I'VE are commanded
to pray for all men in power, and the
Christian ladies of our city have made
great efforts during the past year to
evangelize Chicago legislators; but as
you have stultifed yourselves against all
efforts in this line, and do not hold your.
selves amenable to the ordinary means
OF grace, we recommend the opening of
your meetings with prayer as the last
soul-saving effort We can put forth in
your behalf" This is hard, very hard
on the Chicago Aldermen, but the idea
of "evapgelizing' them from human
standpoint seems out OF the question.
