THE LADY BIRD.

THE LADY BIRD.
There was once a little girl whose
name was Charlotte. This little girl had
several brothers; her brothers had play-
mates who, in turn, had some cheerful
sisters; so when they were all together
they made quite merry little band.
One Thursday while playing together,
Charlotte ran toward them crying out:
For q pin for pin! Who wishes to
see curiosity? Who will give pin to
see curiosity?" and she held up above
her head little pasteboard box.
Your curiosity is not Target" said the
boys:
"If it isn't large answered Charlotte,
IT IS at least, very pretty. Who wants
to see It? Who will give a PIN to see 1T?
A pin, 9 pln2"

girls had some, though. Little girls are
careful and attentive; they see pins fall
and they pick them up for their man.

less for that.

the large brother, who had known how to
read for some time and had learned many

1T is, replied the young erudite, "a

How Seine Eccentric Young Ladies
Dress.

The girls of the time are shrewd and
quick to seize an idea, and just now
there is danger that some of them
will over do the Quaker or conventual
style. Having caught the effectiveness
of reserved styles of dress from novel
lists descriptions or pictures, they try
it on with a persistency which destroys
the charm and freshness of the costume
altogether. Well read girls have heard
of demure little beauties in gray, look
ing ''dove-like and delicious" till they
are crazed to pose for the picture
themselves, and silver gray and drab
suits appear among the brilliance of
legitimate fashions in a phenomenal
and suggestive way.
Sometimes the character is very
prettily done, as in the case of one
feminine exquisite who is remarked
wherever she appears on Fifth avenue
or at the galleries in brilliant pale-gray
silk dress made shorter than her stature
requires, she being of modest size,
with skirt in full plaits from the waist,
in the old fashioned way, and her
shoulders covered with a coachman's
cape to match. A delicious ruffle of
soft mechlin and lace tie at the throat,
a funny little gray chip cottage bonnet,
that looked as if she had worn her lit
tie sisters bonnet by mistake, trimmed
with clustering violets and adorable
white lisse ties, enhances the quaint
ness of face which seemed that of an
overgrown child with soft dropping
hair, fresh, downy complexion, big
gray eyes, too light for beauty, and q
general powderiness and responsibility
like that of a devoted young matron
who has lately taken the world on her
conscience. Her toilet is dainty, from
the gray cloth boot to the fresh gray
kid glove and comical gown, too dainty
for a world that rides in horse cars and
goes out when the dust blows, and
allows the children at the dinner table.
Just as the Jockey Club affects the
square cut frock coat, big gloves, stout
walking cane and the genteel hob-nailed
style of our full favored British cousin,
there is class of young women whose
standard is modelled ON the 6owdiest
most uncompromising of English habits.
= Going up Fifth avenue early mornings,
ones vision is drawn to a fast walking
young woman, in a light gray cloth
gown, Vi Tue SuOTI, hllIcu ucSCTlptlOu,
rendered rather more ungraceful by
being tied by the sash about the hips,
the skirt swung clear of a stout pair of
broad shoes, and surmounted by

forms and short skirts, like the ugli-
est of cheviot business suits, the vra

looks like that of servant mans out
of livery.
The style cannot be called adorable.
1t savors too much of the feminine
medical student, or the girl of the ate
lier, who poses in our imaginations,
with her hands IN her pockets and mahl
stick sticking over her shoulder, with
a luncheon of bread and cheese and
