SALLIE'S LETTER.
The Second Letter From Sallie to
Jennie.
DEAR JENNIE.

here although so far as gentlemen are
concerned We have to dwell q good deal on
the Imagination, with The exception OF Sum-
day when qnite Q number from Kansas
City snd other points manage TO get here.
However, as May says, / have faculty of
talking with gentlemen Whenever / meet
them, and it doesn't matter to me whether
a man is twenty-five years of age or q hun
dred so thst he knows how TO say things.
Last night for instance, had on my new
dress made of fawn-colored batiste COM
bined with vivid scarlet satin aud sith q
tiny knife plated balayeuse OF the satin
around The bottom OF the skirJ and a
pleated wsi.icoat made of the same bright
fabric and May said / looked perfectly gor.
geous and she "was sure i was bound to-
mash somebody" Well, went down to
the ver+nds and thought would just note
who would be the best to try that costume
on, AID without seeming TO do so, saw
very nice looking gentleman from Kansas
City, sitting convent Dtly near and made
up my mind that he would do ] knew he
would be along In a few minutes with
some one TO present him but In the mean
time | concluded to pass away the time
with Col. V. NJ, of st. Louis, who is here,
and a friend of his, who, with his wife and
daughter, occupy a cottage. Judge L-slso
OF ST. Louis. They were very willing, OF
course TO fill the breech, but IL You'll be-
li-ve me. L got 50 interested with ihsir
stories and their jokes and the repartees
with which they interlsrded them, that L
forgot ali about "Kans IS City," and laugh
ed ii i c-ird. They never paid me 4 full
some CT mpiiment either, just acted ss If
belonged to the "boys" aud said things
not bit coarse, you knOw-but funny.
Msy had such an adventure yesterday
She told me | wasn't TO say a single word
about il, bui il is too good to keep. IL
seems she went down 20 have bath IN the
morning, only accompanied by a II e
girl, the child of 4 lady who lives Ill
Brownsville, AID after having the bath she
dressed herself hurriedly lest she should be
late for breakfast, and started back TO the
hotel. She had only gone short distance
when TO her horror, she discovered tnat she
had lest her hustle and at once ran back
toward the bnh house to get it. Pan Ing,
she turned the corLer of the building lie IT
the pl4ce and discovered g-ntls min who
had also been taking dip" just rsi>ing
The lost article on the point of bis cane
She knew Kim to b. bachelor ard she
knew also that the moment be saw II. T he
recognized that the owner Cf the hustle bad
ben found, fer rs The said "lhe grinning
idiot locked directly behind her ard as she
va, IS fiat as pan cake, he couldn't help
SEEING" He merely dropped the hustle,
however, ard went on ard May picked 1T
up Sd soon as he was opt OF sight and wen
To the bsth hOus. to put ii on, wheu 10. .
she found the Pie locked and the man Ia
charge gone. Then she wss In Elk" ss
the boys say, for she knew she would lie
sure TO see that man again on her way To-
her room and she felt that he would look
for and miss that hustle. Every moment
she txps cted some one would heave In
sight and at last she was Obliged to c-eep
around behind the bath house "thrJpgh the
weeds mile high and put th.t pesky
thi"g vn." Oh course when she z ready
TO 90 back on the walk three Cr four people
saw her and she SAYS they just LOOKED NJ
her as tho ugh they th,ught she had Teen
behind ih-re stealing something. Oh, how
| did laugh WHEN May told me shout II,
Laughed until she got angry at me and he
man and called him "uat ful, mis- bic
old VIZ tch" and pe rs 'hard-te tied IS I
pi, &C. OF Iailrosd pie" ] had 10 let up on

There are some very pretty young ladies
here. The prorrietor's daughter, Miss Dora
Hall, is a brown-haiIed, blue-eyed giil.
W tia very pleasant manners, Miss Murilil,
of Marsh all, is winsOme brunette, Miss
Sailie Sells and Miss Sadie Sells, OF st.
Louis, are attractive aud intellig mt girls,
and there are numb Fri, IS others. The
plea lures OF The Sp-ings are never wsail-
some in the lea,t degr e.
Last Monday night May and i attended
the concert given bv the Westminster Col
lege Gle club, OF Fulton, and enjoyed IL
very much. The club has been carefully
trained, and all have good voices. Friday
night Prof. Mshler, VITO is quite an i'm
proyement on the "masIer Of ceremonies"
who was here last yer, was given benefit,
and as a fine programme had BEEN ar
IA ged and the weather had turned a few
desr, Is cooler, we all danced until we
were completely tagged out. Many. e.
CANT dresses were worn by the ladies, but L
only have time TO tell you that
May wore cream lace over blue satin
with great clusters of cream earn Itlons and
Marchsl Nil roses at her throat and waist,
and L wore yellow, just the yellow, st kind
OF yellow satin with complete over draper
les of black lace. We both had good
time, May actually getting out OF the traces
far enough to flIri with h n>as City man.
We are all waiting for the 'Craigs" to arrive,
and my friends, Mrs. McElroy, of Kansas
City, Mrs. McFarlane, OF SedaIia, declare
that some of the young ladies have grown
thin from "hope deferred" May s'ys she
is very sure she is not in the list Of
these, for she could hardly get her corset
together this morning, and as for her hose
well, no mater, | shall ask her to lend
me one to hang up next Christmas. l
want something to hold a new seslskin
sacque.
We are going 20 get up an excursion next
week to 90 to McAllisier. Col. Hall has
promised us an abundance of pickles and
