Scrawny Girls in Washington.

Those who sre familiar with society
in Washington can not avoid observing
that all the girls have attenuated forms.
We who are accustomed to the fine de-
velopments of western and southern
women, look with astonishment at the
thin arms and scraggy necks that are
exposed to view. To render the atten-
uation more apparent, young ladies
have adopted the close-cling skirts and
corset-waists laced down the back.
Thus attired our girls can re likened to
nothing but an exclamation point.
There Is as much symmetry of form in
one as the other. When these girls
dance the German, humane persons
are inclined to petition the gentlemen
to handle them with care, lest they
break in two at the fifteen-inch waist.
Handsonely-trimmed basques would
be far more becoming to these girls
than the corsetwaist, which, with
them, scarcely requires any expansion
from the waist to the hips. Such
style of dress was only intended for
embonpoint and not for the fragile.

Beating a Dead-Beat.
Detroit Free Press.

For some days past an unknown
female has been III the habit of max
ing an afternoon trip on the Woodward
avenae cars, generally getting aboard at
Jefferson avenue and riding to Brady
street. The first two or three times she
paid her fare promptly enough but the
next trip she wrote something on
card, handed it to a gentleman, and he
paid her fare. The next trip she waited
till the driver rang the fare-bell, and
when she saw him looking through the
door she advanced and held up a card
on which WAS written:
al am deaf and dumb"
The driver didn't want to create r.
scene, and she rode as a dead-head.
Next day she went through the same
performance, but when she boarded the
car the third afternoon he was ready
for her. He had every reason to be-
lieve her fraud, as she had been heard
to speak in a car coming down. When
she entered the car she took a seat and
began reading, seeming to have no
earthly interest in the fare question.
There are no conductors ON the route,
and the driver controls both doors. Be-
fore Brady street WAS reached the un-
known female was the only passenger.
She rose and rang the bell at the street,
but the driver paid not the least heed.
She rang again, and he hurried up the
horse. Then she tried to pull the bell
off the car, but the man never turned
his head The woman rushed to the
door and pushed and tugged till she
was red in the face, but not an inch
would it bulge. Rushing 10 the front
door, she pounded the glass in a furious
manner, and by and by the driver "ac-
cidentally" looked around. She ges-
tured wildly, and as he shook his head
| in stupid way, she held up her card,
which said: | am deaf and dumb"
The driver fumbled around for two or
three minutes and brought out small
placard on which was printed:
$50 am / %
They were then about half a mile
above Brady street, making excellent
time, and the woman's indignation
was 80 great that she shook her fist at
the driver, and screamed out:
"Tll have you shot for this !"
He held up his card, shook his head,
and paid no further attention to her
blood curdling threats. At the turn
table, mile and a half above Brady
street, the door slid back, and the
woman jumped into the mud. She
blessed that man from crown to sole,
and blessed all his relatives back to tie
Revolution, but ne did not seem to
hear her. AS he started off, she called
out:
You are a monster, villain, sneak
and thief %
He gave the lines shake, got the
card from his pocket, and she was not
too far away to read the answer:
6. 60 am iO
