THE IRREPRESSIBLE GIRL.

A COMPANION PIECE TO THE PICTURE OF 1.-THE
SHY LITTLE BOY "
Written for the indianapolis journal.
Her earliest cry had ring of determination
Her tiny fist doubled with a strength of purpose
that said plainly long before her tongue could
frame the words, 81 will have my way" Her
little feet were never irresolute or vacillating
for from the day she made up her mind to walk
there no staggering or nonsense in the at
tempt Her fond young papa and mamma and
admiring sisters, "her cousins and her aunts'
watched her triumphal march across the room
with loud EXPLANATIONS of delight All little in
fantile ways and graces were dispensed with in
this practical young specimen of precocity, as
day by day she grows more and more into what
predestination and foreordination have elected
her to be-a girl of the period
At the age of three years, with her father
taking trip into distant city-atteP the high
waters had washed out the track in many places
she hears the passengers express fears for the
safety of the train, and celebrities them
by the startling announcement 1.-THE engineer
can take us over Their fears are instantly al
layed, and with their returning sense of security
cheer after cheer rent the air. One, more
enthusiastic than the rest, passed round the hat
and collected 81. 25 for this little heroine.
Time sped on and her birthdays numbered FIVE
and still her remarkable mind was continually
unfolding and expanding. Not a day passed
over her head without adding to Its useful store
of accumulated knowledge. At the age of seven
she knows more than both her parents, and is
far in advance of her teacher at school. But to
encourage the other pupils whose ideas are still
shooting upward and onward, she consents to
block her wheels of progress for time, and stay
with them an incentive to more earnest
effort.
Again time sped away, and she begins to feel
the uncomfortable force of her pent up momen-
tum laundering through the pulses of her being
ooh, for wider sphere of action" she ejacu-
lates. THE tortures of combining my undying
energies in this pent-up existence is too utterly
utter long to soar on wings of sublimity into
the thingness of the hereafter Women held
their breath and men shuddered as they saw de-
termination in her eye. Beside, this was leap
year, and who could know which of them she
might choose to lead lamb to the halter2 But
their fears are idle and their suspicious ground
less.
The girl of the period, with such unbounded
capacities, could not bow her neck to the servile
yoke of matrimony nor crush all those lofty
aspirations in bondage to any man. All, no
She sees before her "a career! She seizes the OPP
portunity, rides triumphantly upon the top
most wave of success and we write her name

Women Pleading for Baker.

appears to be the proposed reinstatement of Ba-

feited some years ago. The Standard it seems,

from ladies yesterday urging that the erling off
Ger should be forgiven. Forgiveness being with
many women the heroic virtue, this is not very
surprising; but have those ladies no fear that in
their impulsive generosity they may be helping
to break down the barrier which society, none
too careful as a rule for female honor, has
placed about their sex to protect them from

SOME SPRING STYLES.

The new name for beige is mushroom color.
A great many natural grasses are used in mil
linery,
The prevailing fashions greatly favor slender
women
The hair is worn either high or low, accord
ing to fancy.
Sleeves and the new French shoulder capes
have still decided tendency to fulness at the
top.
A long, narrow scarf made of ietted net, with
or without an edge of ietted lace, will be worn
in the street around the neck instead of the
Spanish lace scarfs SO long in vogue.
Long mantles will be much worn this spring,
as well as the short dressy visites and pelerines
with their costly adornings of rich silk cord
and chenille passementeries and waves of costly
lace.
1t is the height of elegance to have the parasol
match the suit with which it is worm and ladies
not lnfrequently, in purchasing a handsome
dress pattern, buy enough of the material extra
to cover parasol
Tea gowns continue very fashionable. The
newest way of making these dresses is to have
have them like an open princess dress, loose in
front and falling straight from the shoulder,
but fitting the figure at the back with pleats be
low the waist to give the ample folds required
in the train.
One of the new shades for spring street wear is
an amber brown of most distingue and delicate
tint blending well with either of the rev shades
of red or with royal blue or the Oriental bro
caded velvets and broche fabrics in their intri-
cate and inimitable blendings of scarlet green
and gold.
Pretty little bebe bonnets are made of shirred
null, trimmed about the face with peatings of
cream lace and surmounted by diadem of
large yelow-hearted pansies of dark purple vel
vet all the leaves being rigidly excluded. One
of these dainty little head coverings lately noted
had the entire crown covered with an extra
close shirring, with long strings of the null
simply hemmed.
An entire basque of jetted net without lining
will be used in the summer just as Jerseys are,
with skirts of black silk satin that may
may not have drapery of this net. Sometimes
such waist is made to fasten behind. There
should be separate lining of satin surah to be
worn under this transparent waist, and this may
have the sleeves only basted in, so that they
may be easily removed to leave thin net sleeves;
there may also be yoke cut separate at the top
of low lining, which can be used not as the
wearer wishes a high lining for the daytime,
only transparent net over the neck in the even
ing. The neck and sleeves are trimmed with
full frills of jetted lace

An Inaccessible Editor.

Edinburgh Letter, in Philadelphia Press.
The newspapers of Scotland are far behind us

ers and long speeches. The offices are conducted
in q manner which is novel to an American.

man, / was met by female dragon, who guarded
the approach to the sanctum, Her brilliancy
startled me from my usual composure. l have
not been accustomed to see in newspaper offices
women at ALL but more especially one wearing
diamonds in her ears and pearls around her
neck, with an eye glass tipped gracefully on her
nose out of which-the eyeglasses, not the nose
she viewed me suspiciously. In voice not
sweet but strong she demanded my business.

'"The editor is never SEEN" was the reply.
''Never seem" l exclaimed
''Never seen except by those who know him, -
was the answer.
whats his name2' / asked.
"His name is never given to people who don't
know it, she said.
"How can 1 communicate with himl'
