MANY Boston girls pad their should

In love women go to the length Of
folly and men to the extreme Of stiffness.
A LITTLE kse

A little riDg-irs ended

And 10 the bonds are reDded.
TIE economical side OF womans
character shines forth with radiance
when she succeeds in fastening an eight
cen inch belt around twenty Two inch

both ends meet deserves condemnation.
A SELLER of second-h books in New
York says that women give him more
trouble than any other customers.
They'll fad rs loug over a fifteen-cent
book as man will over dollar one.
They never know their own mind five
minutes at time"
FASHION writer of the female sex
says: SIN dress we are nothing but
Monkeys" The writer may be an excep-
ton, but whoever saw a monkey attired
in corset, a S22 hat, button
gloves, a lot Of false hair, and several
hundred dollars worth Of dry goods?
One of the features lately introduced
in New York's upper circles is the Ger
man cotilliop, and decidedly original
was the jumping through hoops. Each
lady was presented with and held before
her large hoop covered with tissue-pa-
per, through which, at Il given time, her
partner jumped.
SAYS a social critic: Women are all,
moIe or less. born actresses; the first
word with most of them il, How will 1t
lcok?" They know that their pretty
pretense of freside needlewC rk looks
very well to their admiring friends and
even to their husbands. They know
that its meaning is understood and ac-
cepted."
Two young girls had fight in street
of Reading, and one vas so badly injured
that it is doubtful II she ever fully re-
covers. A disgraceful part of the affair
was that two fellows, escorts Of the COM
batants, let them struggle with each
other until the weaker was all but killed.
She was kicked about, jumped upon, and
finally left unconscious upon porch.
A wELL-DREssED and good. looking
young woman entered a grocery store III
Quincy the other day, and called for Il
nickel's worth Of eggs. The clerk gave
her four eGgs, and they were devoured
on the spot by the suction process. The
young woman then wiped her mouth and
walked ont. There is a rumor in Quincy
that she may have been Oscar Wilde IN
disguise. -NicOgo Inter- ocean.
A YOUNG girl objects to the criticism
which makes it appear that those Of her
sex who are true and womanly are scarce I;
aud she wishes to know whether it is
necessary when young lady is receiving
company in the parlor that she should

bing brushes, and smoothing irons in
order 10 convince a lot of monies cf
young men that she can work in the
kitchen.
IT is now the fashion III New York for
Il young man about TO marry to give a
bachelor party to his fIieLds. Some Cf
these parties are little else than drunk, II
revels. Recently, a rich young snob
who gave one of these parties was taken
home i'll a drunken condition by his
friends and put 10 bel. His affiancsd
heard of the affair, and the match is off,
though be whInes that he only followed
the fashion.

ETY. OF youug lady has exclusive posses
sion, and the common inference is that
the fat girl is not worth dressing. This
is mistake. The fact is that fat girls
do not require any information about

lean ones who have 10 go to the maga-
zines to get posted.
