Sarcastic Washingtonians.

Sartirists are poking sharp sticks at
the hangers-on to Washington society
for having announced that they had
postponed dinners, receptions or tea
parties on account of the death Of poor,
dear Miss Bayard." Some of those who
gave notice in the papers that their en-
tertainments were postponed have never
crossed the Bayard threshold, either
here or at Wilmington, and others. who
only enjoyed bowling acquaintance
with the deceased, made ridiculous dis.
plays of their grief. One lady, who i:
somewhat famed for her bad English
and her good punch, is said to have re.
marked at her last reception: TRY 9
glass of punch, my dear. It's only
claret to-day, without any rum in it

The Crying Need.

For the holiness that fights against sin,
battles with temptation, keeps unspotted
from the world, and lays self on the altar,
there is crying and need in our time. 1t is
a sympathetic spirit going about doing good,
yet 1t has ne sympathy with evil customs
and the fashions of the world. 1t strives to
keep clean. Against the downward pull of
the world it bracesitself and says, "If Others
do this, yet will 10. l." Ii dares TO be sin
gular and questionable. 1t keeps out of
places where il would be smirched, and finds
such enjoyment in its deeds of charity and
in the innocent joys of life that it does not

And here Jennie succeeded in feeling

engagement ring from her finger, and
haughtily dismissed the one who had
dared to suggest that there might be

GIRLS IN LOVE WITH GIRLS.
A New hobby of the Fashionable Young
Ladies' of Washgton.

Ifthere is any new kink or wrinkle
in the line of fashionable hobbies which
has not reached Washington the society
young ladies would like 10 have it pass
this way, writes Washington cor
respondent. This year it is the proper
thing for one Young lady to be desper-
atclv in love with smother. She may
have Young nan-sud most of them
debut unless she is desperately III
love with one of her own sex she can
rest assured she is not en regtc This
craze is being carried to ridiculous
extent here. Those Of us who have
been watching its rapid growth have
been intensely amused at the extreme
IL practical manner in which some
OF the youns ladies go about it. 1t
must not be supposed that because
fashions whim commands Young
lady 10 rave about some other young
ladv's beauty, and 10 drip al matter OF!
literary treacle over the object OF her
alleged desires, that it is at all neces-
sarv her mash should be one of her
owl, circle of friends The shrewd
girl will never permit herself 10 be
caught in such filnsy trap as that.
She must admire something feminine,
and so she looks about her and usually
settle. down on some actress. Rhea,
Jesnnie Winston and Vernona Jarbeau
are the three !avoritcs. All three ot
them are deluget with flowers and
| pcrfi,med notes every time they come
| to town. Not long ago Miss Winston
| stopped for about two hours in Wash
ington on her way North. 4 iclcga-
tion of young ladies met her at the
| depot and entertained this feminine
| Buuthorue during her stay. Quite
recently Jarbeau played i'll "Ihe
| Mikado" at one of our theatres. Two
Young ladies st once became dcsper-
ately smitten. They called and were
cordially received. Jarbeau told them
all mauuer OF pretty things about
herself, her origin and her history.
They were enraptured. But when the
clever little actress innocently told
them that she was barely past 20, and
that she fell, just like schoolgirl, the
youug ladies looked at her trihe
! incrcduously. Before they left Jsrbean
managed to tell them that i'll case they
hired a box at the matinee she would
| flirt with them from the stage. The
girls hired the box and Jarbcau did as
She promised. All of this talk may be
sickening to those who have never
moved in society at the Capital, but II
| must he confessed that when Que looks
at the average brainless dude who is
supposed to entertain the young lady
he does not wonder at the fact that the
girls are falling in love with one
another.

terrific torn cloud, tunnel-shaped.
