NOT SLANGY.

! "A Chicago Girl Refutes q SANDER from
Boston.
A Chicagoan visiting in Bostn wakes
indignant at an article regarding Chi
cago girls which appeared in an east
ern journal. The article charges that
Chicago girls are in the habit of using
such expressions as "getting left,''
"rustled round, event back on him."
"corraled her handkerchief" Sin the
swim, "made the rifle" and put in
MS best licks." The Chicagoan writes
to the papers here to say that since
his arrival in Boston, six months ago,
he has not seen g. pretty woman. We
think it highly probable. But, re-
garding this charge that Chicago girls
use slang, in order to obtain the facts
a representative of the Rambler called
upon a Michigan avenue young lady
who is a typical belle of the Garden
City. The reporter was ushered into
Respondent salon furnished in the
style OF Louis Kanze-or maybe it
was Louis Katorze. He seated him
self upon an old gold fantenil, and
presently the young lady referred to
materialized, heralded by the frou-frou
| OF her silken dress upon the stair. The
! article referred to was shown to her,
| and she became exceedingly indignant,
| observing:
''That is a fish story. The fellow who
wrote that is way off his BASE
truth in the assertion that Chicago
girls are addicted to slang?"
"Well, now, hold on, l don't mean
| exactly that. There may be some OF
them who sling slang, but I never work
the slang racket myself. I suppose
some OF the girls do use slang some
times, but this child is not one Of them;
now you hear my bazoo."
| "What is your opinion of Boston
bellies, compared to those of Chica2o?"
queried the scribe.
II think we can discount Boston on
| beauty and as for accomplishments,
why, that's where we hold full hand.
| Take me for example,"
II should be most happy said the
reporter, calamity.

Dawson had not been out of her room, al
least to the knowledge Of any of them
Everything in the room was in its proper
place, and there was no evidence of strug-
gle. This is the very room from which
Alice Dawson disappeared, and from that
time to this-nearly three years-she has
never been seen"
This is a strange story" said. but
were detectives employed in the case?''
''Yes; the very best that could be had.
Five thousand dollars were offered as a
reward for the recovery of the girl or the
conviction of any one connected with her
abduction. The reward was finally raised
to $4,000. where it still remains. The
papers were full of these details at hat
time. The detectives visited the premises,
ransacked the house, questioned the house,
hold, secured descriptions and pictures,
and finally gave this very natural theory
of the mystery: The girl WAS found
ling; her father or mother had watched
her with jealous eye and determined to
possess the accomplished daughter-per-
haps only for the reward that they knew
would be offered. Perhaps the parent had
seen her and told her all, and this evening
had been arranged for the elopement. She
had stubbornly refused to accompany Mr..
and Mrs. Dawson to the opera. Yet. if
there had been collision. why should the
door be locked on the inside and the gas
burning. It would, of course, have been
an easy matter to descend by ladder
placed up to the window; but why should
this precaution be takenp Whatever may
have been done by the detectives, the case
remains as much a mystery to night as it
ever was"

does not reside here. | cannot Just see

the dauces on the village green, the merry

still our occasio set seasons of recreation,
but it is questionable if these times of mon
ster excursions, when all the world crowds
out together, take the place of the frequently
occurring, easily-enjoyed holidays OF our an
cestors. They took their recreation easily.
There were no crowded cheap trains, no
monster excursions. no long and hurried
journeys. Like band of school children,
the inhabitants of a locality played together
after their working hours. The difficulty of
travelling prevented crowds assembling at
