A Ea. " oman SWIMMING win the Girls

Ii there is any ons day In the whole week
when the girls hate TO STAY al home, blue
Monday liz the day, says the Chicago Herald.
II Is the hane oil woman's existence. L.
doesn't take her five minutes TO peruse the
morning paper and fad that there is nothing
in il. After folding away her Sund.y tie,
fichu, gloves, and veil, and brushing The dus
from her dress sleeves and bonnet, there il
sbsolutely nothing to be done. The fumes
Of soapsuds and boiling starch, favored With
kerosene, will steal up-atairs ard counteract
the triple extracts of FiorentIne water, the
refreshing abluiion OF bsy.rum, or the fra
GRANGE of the BIS, kind of toilet soap.
The dinner is sure to be horr.d. Hssh, of
course, second hand vegetables, and, if the
pudding or Spanish cream is worth eating
1t is not plentiful, and has 10 be dsned oui
with maddening &C nomy. Hence the reason
why so msny ladies lunch down town OH
wash day.
Last Monday three young ladies, chaper-
oned by mstrou whose approximate weight
was about go pounds, emerged from a stoIe
front on one of the West Side bouley srds
in search eli anything that promised diver
tisemert until O'Clock. The morning was
Lovely, and, after summing Themselves on the
front door steps for fifteen minutes they de-
cided to wear nothing around them. Choco-
msrshmallow drops made lunch after a
visit TO the Central Music Hall 10 have some
gives cleaned. Then it wss IL 80 O'Clock,
and what 10 do with the rest of the day was
a9usndary.
"Leps go to the Woman's Exchsnge and
steal rome ideas for mantle drspery," said
Cue of the girls. Agreed. The tri p is made
only TO fad that, in Observance Of the Nav
day custom, that valuable establish ment has
chaoged its location. The mstron has never
been in the Chamber OF Commerce during
business hours, and the ladies direct their
steps thlther. Their arrival finds the lobby
filled with noisy, excited-lookipg men, and
their temerity not being equal TO an entrance,
they retreat south on LsSalle street. The
rink ls proposed; and somebody says dry
vSpor bath, but the proiect is discarded for
La k of wrap-, and reluctance 10 go home
Immediately after.
Let's take a SWIM" exclsims a little
blonds-fn the party. Tue very thing, and of
they post 10 the natatorinm. The girls have
been IN the basin before, and think it would
be foe fun TO initiate Ars. Fatty. She does
not betrsy great desire 20 Try frog tricks,
but she listens, snd who could resist?
You SEE, there is nobody round; we'll
show you how TO strike on" ard the wicked
liille beauty begins 10 disrobe her collar,
bonnet, crimps ard gloves. The girls are
done up IN barber pole suits 10 twinkle,
and the old lady has nothing TO do but cub
nit. Her LaDgtry twist is laid on the table,
and anxiety Tor her mesgsr crop OF hair,
which is rolled up in a Gull as thick as LEAD
pencil, is relieved WHEN some one puts her
head in big leather cap.
.'Oh, but l went lake my stockings of; no,
= DO use, you can talk till midnight. And
teach ms how In amin Won
must do II IN my stockings"
Big ieeG were not the cause, for the boots
she kicked of we're No. 4's, but no amount Of
