"Bellesl My dears, the bellies OF TO-
day are very pretty young women, but
it's great deal OF 1t fine clothes. The
bellies of my time did not depend SO
much on what they wore. They were
mostly tall finely made young women"
tor she herself was one of these bellies in
that past period. 81 remember one Of
these bellies" she went on. She was
a daughter of one of the Champ,ins, Il
fine name in Newport once; one Of them
married Abraham Redwoood's daughter,
and one of the sisters danced with Gen.
eral Washington at the old Assembly
Room in Church street. The daughter
l speak OF was great beauty, and had
all the gallants far and near at her feet.
Men were not so afraid of marrying as
they are now, and handsome girl like
Sally Champlin was greatly run after,
no sutton being ashamed OF showing his
preferences very openly. Sally had re-
iected great many fine offers When
one day there came - proud gentleman,
who, meeting the same fate, did not take
it so meekly rs the others, and remon.
strating with her asked for some more
definite reason than she had given him
for his rejection. Sally was used to u
very different manner from this, and
nettled At his independence she turned
upon him sharply with this answer:
"'Sir, you seem to think that 1t Is a
very wonderful thing for man to be
rejected, l have refused twenty offers
from this very sofa, sir"
We shouted with laughter nj this eli
max, and then one OF the listeners in
qured, "Whst became OF the man after
tnis?'
He became Miss Sslly's husband,
was the demure response.
