MAUD TO CLARA AND LOUISE.
THE WAY MAUD SAW THINGS.

WEST END.
DEAR GIRLs-I read your letter
with much interest, and promised to
give my account of the Sparta'S eX-
cursion. 1t was the most enjoyable
affair of the season. Everyone seemed
to be entirely satisfied with the trip.
You know, as | am just starting out
in company, my advances were slow.
| only talked to five gentlemen. |

warm to round dance No one went

pulled out or his moustache. It's too
bad about that young man. If | did
not know his habit, | would certainly
think he was playing Oh a jews harp.
III. E NJ. thinks she has completely
captured J. F. D., but she is mistaken.
Ret" can't take in the DanvilleS that
quick.
can better tell you who wasn't on
the boat than tell you who was. \.
H. did not go. You are wrong,
Andy" to mourn SO over your loss.
Mamie comes back next month. Some
of the girls provoked me so. The wore
white dresses and slippers, and would
not sit down in the cars for fear Ot
MASKING their dresses. J, p. and &.
P. had on dresses "racked'' to death
with "rick." Ere long they will he
raeked with pain. Johnnie eats with
them. What a happy table it must
be!
They tell me that this fall brings
with it marriages happy and other
wise. Mary married on an ecoHoml-
cal scale: no expense for invitations
or trOusseau. She is q dear girl, and
will make smart wife. Why should
others pout about it; she must choose
for herself.
Have you heard the latest out, that
DR.. L. Lee. is "Renling' at the feet OF
Miss F. T. Philadelphia has deserted
him because he has been riding in toe
open a buggy. This nonsensense has
become ridiculous. If the young lady
has done so, Sammy should be glad to
get rid of ignorance. It's pity that
eolored people put on so. They forget
their ancestors when they become Sc
vain over their compilations. Some
thing of this sort stirred abont last
winter about another young lady and
one of our promising doctors. but the
dissatisfaction was not with her, bIt
the family.
Our friend A. E. 7. D. leaves soon
for the South. | wish he would have
his picture taken in that suit you were
speaking of.
7. D., of Georgia, is Just onc OF the
incest little fellows you ever saw.
He'll be around this evening. Al. is
better. Poor Mamie! L felt very sorry
for her.
What do you think, Nanc (y)
Lee had his trunk roobbed Of some
valuable papers. Poor man, the effect
has been so great that it caused him
to wear glasses. Cousin Jesse wears
them too. He thinks by 50 doing he
can see the sunny South, but Miss K.
E. G. is too smart for him. It's a
pity about these dudes how they are
troubled with their eyes.
Have you read Miss Halls little
talk" in the Adyocdte? It's just the
finest out. She has undoubtedly sill
enced some one. Only wise heads can
write such things.
J. c. A. and Miss c. Z. s. won a
championship game of croquet Mon
day, the finest of the season. They
played against lawyer J. L. and
widower L.
How do you like the appearance
of our schools? | think you are
wrong to triumph over H. J.'s de-
feat. Girls, you don't know your
friends. think the school business is
getting mighty serious. You had bet
ter remain quiet and say nothing.
think that boy and the Prescott badge
upset things SO. l don't favor Miss
L. E. NJ. as teacher of the Normal
School. We have other talent here as
good and better. The chief objection
is she can't hear. Why not put L. L.
D. there? She deserves it more

must hurry, or else he'll catch me
writing.
Meet me at the Palais Royal at 4.3t
on Tuesday, and we'll select that fol-

wear mine.
Yours. MAUD.
