What One Girl Did.
Hester Stuart in Harper,s Bazar.l

Molly Perry woke, the morning of Memo
rial day, about as cross as it is possible for
healthy, ny-tempered girl to be, and with
some reaso.
For, to b' n with, her waking senses were
6Tst greetea " q strong Whit of tobacco
smoke waite into her open window from
the pipe OF the lodger below; and as she had
gone to sleep with the same incense in her
nOstIiis, you must own that It was trying,
particularly to q cOUntry-1oIn nose that
knew the fragrance of Wild grape vines and
locust trees. Whatever yon may think,
Molly was wrathful, and founced out Of bed,
shut the window with emphasis, and sitting
down in her one rocking chair, eyed with
strCug disfav0r q pile of clothes on another
chair. And here was another reason Tor her
Crossness. The night before she had taken
account Of stock in the way Of clothes and
found herself or the verge Of bankruptcy.
Not decent thing among them except that
gray suit, she thought, disc9nsolately; and
The truth is they We're a shabby lot. Bar
ring the gray suit, g navy blue serge Dragged
Us 10 edges, and shiny as to elbows and
bach q faded cambria, on old black cash
mere, hot and dusty-Iooking, made up the
sorry display.
Why didn't she buy some new clothes?
Well there was no particular reason except
that she had no money to buy and 10 time to
make, being ono Of the forty or more clerks
in the "llart Of Fashion" on Washington
street, at q salary of So a week Amy one
mathematically inclined can do the sum
which Molly did each week.

And out of the difference between this total
and So must come boots and gloves and hair
pins and poclet-handkerchiefsa and everything
else, 50 you can see that the queen of Sheba
was quite safe from a rival 50 far US Molly
was concerned.
But this mention Of the ''Mart of Fashion"
brings me TO the cap-sheaf of Mollys discom-
fort. She had expected to have the day to
herself, but Rush & Crush, seeming possible
profit from country visitors had decided to
keep open. So it was a very cross face that
looked at Molly from the little wavy looking
glass, and the soft brown hair was hatcheled
and twisted with very few Of the little pats
and touches usually bestowed on it, and the
blue dress was donned with some twitches.
The sight of the breakfast table did not
Tighten her mood. She looked down its long
length, and noted the spots and rings and
splashes on the coarse cloth, the knives and
lor"S at IN angles ana ohe uiSheS pued up,
fragments and all, by the untidy table girl,
and felt an unutte, able disgust for it all.
