Naughty Girls.

The manners Of women, however,
when all to themselves, are too often
bad. Unless acquainted they de not,
as rule, take the pains to be polite
to one another. There is some ami
ability, II is true, but not enough to
go all the way round. On this occa-
sion / saw 8 woman hunt her cle:h-
ing through, and finally let rip &c
unfastened, rather than ask another
woman for q pin. Considerable
dressing and undressing was done
out there in the main roon; enough
at all events TO show me the
latest popularity in undergear, l
noticed that checkerboard stockings
were numerous; that ecrue bal
briggans came next, and very bright
colors, in stripes and sslid hueS,
were common on the more youthful
women. Those who apparently
cultivated quiet taste wore IN
bleached cotton, and in several in
stances silk that looked like the
cheaper fabric. I saw, too, what in
these days of fanciful, clasped elias
tics, is downright curiosity, pair
of Old-fashiOned garters. They were
on the legs Of an unpr0gressiVe old
woman, wound round and round,
with the final end tucked under. One
girl had classics made of metal coil
and plates, and [ was glad when her
companion asked her what under
heavens they were, for I was dying
to know.
"They are electromagnetic gar
ters," she replied.
what are they good for?" the
other persisted.
Good for nothing but to hold up
stockings, [ reckon; but I wear 'em
for neuralgia. They are charged with
electricity, don't you know?"
Don't they feel awful queer?"
''Oh,no; sometimes there is a ting
ling down my limbs, bat 1 guess
that's natural. Mamma says that's
deViltry running out of my toes"
The girls eyes twinkled as she
kicked out her foot, and rather
thought her mothers theory was
sound.
AS rule the women were not m
ladyllke, but simply distantand some
what defiant toward one another.
There is an excuse, however, for eau
ton in being free with strangers.
The worst women are often most de-
mure in public. One of the sweetest
looking things there, for example,
turned out wretchedly. She wore the
incest imaginable little capote on
her head made of two, shades ofCan-
ton Grape, pale rose and light scarlet
with rose for a crown trimming in
the same shades of the petals,a mar
velouS pretty conception. Yet, for
all that, she was distressingly bad.
After sitting awhile on her hustle
(and 1 suppose the style being new,
she hadn't learned how to manage
it,, she jumped up suddenly and ex-
claimed las she rubbed herself Vigor-
ously:
