Ones Own Country-"EuroPo A"'
Final Polish"
Two beautiful young damsels meeting
Intuition street the other day, says TN
Brooklyn Eagle, beamed with delgh
as they scanned each others summer
finery.
"And where have you been, my
love?" asked the brunette.
"Trayeling," responded the blonde
"Been gone three months, studying oul
own country. Ma said a young lays
| education was not finished till she has
gone abroad, and twas vulgar to go tc
Europe without knowing something o.
| ones own country"
GLOW grand" sighed the brunette,
whose sightseeing had been limited
10 Central Park and Coney Island.
ayes, but pa didn't want to 60 q bit,
so ma and planned and planned. Fin
alIy, | fell i'm love with a plumber. Pa
reasoned with me, so did ma, but got
firmer and declared I'd have my own
wsy. Ma got awfully uneasy before
pal apd-well, in short, Pa concluded
10 let me travel"
"You naughty thing. But where have
you beenm
"Just everywhere. First South
and"
"Oh, then you had chance to study
some of those Southern problems one is
always reading about?"
81 don't remember them; but pa first
tramped me over miles and miles OF
hattlefields, and / saw where-Oh!
what's his name?-Oh! that big gener-
al: YOU know who l mean"
"Ees," responded the other, eagerly.
"Never mind his name"
"Well, we saw thereon! Grant,
that's it; where Grant and Lee, yes,
Pm sure twas Lee, fought, or lombard
ed, or surrendered; anyway, l don't re-
member details. And then we went to
Mexico, and that was awful; flies and
sand, and pa just wore me out with his
old Spanish towns, and graveyards, and
dug UP things. But ma said it was all
important, and / wanted to be able to
describe them all; so
IJust Gof Through Somehow"
How lovely to travel and improve
ones selfm murmured the listener,
with an admiring eye on kitty's terra
Gotta bonnet.
$50 ma says. Well, then We went to
Utah, to Salt Lake City"
ooh, those horrid Mormons. Did
you really see them?" .
':Ies, indeed, and made study OF
them. Ma said that was proper. Were
there two or three days, aud such dow
dies a. those women are, and the men
well, they are too insignificant. Pa
took US to the-the-oh, Temple-nO--
Tabernacle. Twas ever - queer, and
ma got me a book on statistics and
things; so III be way up, sec"'
How splendidly you'll be able to
converse with every one! quite envy
YOU"
"Yes, ma says few girls have such
opportunities, and mean TO improve
nine. Then we've been to California
and, oh, such big trees and those
wretched little Cinnamon. San Fran
cisco isn't much to see. The shops are
not any nicer than Brooklyn. But st,
Paul is too lovely. Got one Of those
stylish looking listers. Will you be-
lieye me? Pa wanted to drag me off to
see the falls Of-Of-Milie or Minneha-
ha, lust because Whittier or lord
Byron, or some Tom, Dick or Harry
wiote poem about it. But we only
had two days there, and l was
fright"
"And you have seen all the great,
grand West-the splendid mountains,
the rolling praIies and breathed that
pure air"
"Oh, my! yes" interrupted the tour
list eagerly, land We visited real min.
ing camp. But soiled my new silk
Jersey. | was so disguised. But pa
well, once get him started and there's
no going back. Chicago and Clncln-
natl are not like New York.
Thana Goodness, We Are Home.
Travelling is improving and all, but pa
did manage to take us to some
horrid places. Now ma says, Europe
next spring, to give polish Pa is aw-
fully contrary, but ma and 1 are patient
with him, and we generally work to-
gether. | guess he will give IN"
"Of course, he WILL" murmured the
brunette, "fOr he must be proud OF
you"
ooh. he is, but pa is queer and thinks
it silly to show ones feelings. But
come round to lunch some day, and
III tell YOU more. Ma says next thing
to travelling ones self is to cultivate
those who have not enjoyed the privi-
leges."
"How kind you are, dear"
"GoOd-by."
And the sweet creatures separated,
one buying her ribbons with an enYious
soul, the other selecting ruches with
cOmplacent pride.
