Why. there's Fanny Wade, Edith Parton.
And Emma and Kate-all the girls:

Is the carriage there? Give me my cloak, Jane
Don't get 1t all over my veil
No; you take the other seat, Charley, ..s

The Reason why.
1T was Boston girl who asked
Why is. it that two souls, mated in the
impenetrable mystery of their nativity,
float by each other on the ocean currents
Of existence without being instinctively
drawn together, blended and beauti6ed
IN the assimilated alembic of eternal
love? " That is an easy one. It is be-
cause butter is IS cents pound, and
good seat-skin sacque costs as high as
$500. The necessaries Of life must ex-
perience a fall in price before two souls
will readily blend in the assimilated al
embic and SO forth. -Norristown Her.

Hints to Young Lady Riders.
If a young lady be possessed CT good
nerve, teach her to ride by all means
not otherwise, as it is flying in the face
of Providence, but do not allow her for
a moment to imagine that in the curb
bit, the pommels and the stirrup there
is safety.
First let her learn to sit square upon
the saddle, with a light hand upon the
rein-the lighter her hand the less her
horse will pull, and vice versa Cat using
force against force she as no chance).
and let one Of her first lessons be to ride
without stirrup, so that at any time she
may be independent of it, and never so
ride upon it that her foot, driven home,
cannot be extricated in moment. The
habit should not be SO long as to impede
her free movements-iust long enough
to cover the foot. Then, in case of
fall, she might escape unhurt. It may
safely be conceded that at least one-haif
Of the accidents to ladies occur in con-
sequence of cowardice or nervousness. or
whatever it may be called, which simply
amounts to want of nerve to act with
determination at the sudden appearance
of an unlooked-for danger. A scream,
and the reins are gone; the horse catch
es the contagion of fear, and fatal cas-
ualy, which might have been averted bv
one atom of confidence on the part of
the victim, is the consequence. By
careful training this danger may be
obviated completely.-Fr0nk Leslie's
Lady's Journal.
Making Dimples.
Ahandsome woman, elegantly dressed,
entered Broadway car in which re-
porter was riding, and Immediately, but
unconsciously, diverted the attention of
a dapper little man who sat next the re-
porter, who had been staring out of
countenance all the other ladies in the
car. The little man, who looked like
something between hair-dresser and a
middle-aged beau, drew a note book
from his pocket, and, after making q
slight sketch Of the face Of the lady who
had just entered the car, said to the re-
porter: 60 Fine woman, that
The reporter could not but agree with
him
ssWhat do you think is her special
charm % asked the little man.
The reporter thought it might be

bination of chic and dignity, her grace
full bearing, her good clothes.
was speaking of her face purely
and simply interrupted the little man.
g Do You notice how completely her
face is in repose 2"
The reporter answered that he thought
the lady looked as if she didn't take
much interest in any OF the other women
in the car.
Now I will make her SMILE" con-
tinued the dapper man, and rising, he
turned his back to the occupants of the
car and blew his nose violently. This
grotesque exhibition of politeness caused
the $ fine woman to smile. The dim
pies chased each other over her cheeks
and then slowly disappeared. The little
man resumed his seat in time to catch
glimpse of the feeting dimples. "What
do you think now p he asked.
The reporter thought the lady was
very pretty when she smiled, and that
her face was dimpled as that Of a baby
Or a Vatican shepherdess.
t'Those dimples are her particular
charm, said the little man. ssShe is
handsome without them, beautiful with
them. In five years from to-day-per-
haps before that when my method be-
comes known, New York city will be
Tiled with women who, having been
plain, become pretty, having been pref
ty become handsome, having been hand
some become beautiful
