A GIDDY GIRLS VIEWS.
She Puts Into u letter thu
Thoughts of Her Utmost Soul.

Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.
A giddy girl will be giddy in all times
or, at least, there are few places where
they will not act in a giddy fashion
Following is letter from young lady
in which she mixes up variety of sub
jectS
My Dear Fannie: You would have
died had you been at our church last
night, am sure you would, and you
don't know how sorry | am that you
The young man that L told you
about when | was in Allegheny is a
Baptist, you know, but that doesn't pre-
vent him from being aWfully nice.
Well, he took me to our church last
night, and [ thought would have died
to see him trying to keep track of the
service. Indeed, was so tickled that |
didn't hear word of the sermon, OF if
! did l forgot it.
There was one thing / was glad of,
and that was that Hattie F. was there
and saw me with Tom. I'll bet she
swore more than she prayed, for she is
Just dying to get him. Between watch
ing her and laughing at Tom trying to
find the place in the book, | was in per-
feet agony, and would have given the
world to have you with me. We would
have disgraced ourselves sure, because
l can't help laughing like fool when l
am with you.
Tom asked me to find the place once,
and snorled right out. for | don't know
a blessed thing about it. Mamma al
ways hunts the place for me, but Tom
and | We're not in our family pew.
If Tom wasn't a Baptist | thing l
would have him. He is aWfully nice,
and one of the most religious fellows in
the world. and his papa is worth ever so
much. His being Baptist does not
hurt him, but you see | would hate to
Join his church, and | never thought it
looked nice for wife not to belong to
the same church as her husband, do
you?
There is not anything wrong with the
BaptistS that | know of as far as going
to heaven is concerned, but | never
could be baptized: could, you, Fannie?
1 told Tom, if / had to be dipped or be a
sinner | guess would be sinner.
You ought to have seen his face when
I asked him if it didn't nearly smother
him when he was baptized. Ugh! 1t
makes me Shudder when think of it.
If he would only be an EpiScopalian |
would marry him as soon as Lent is
over. He hasn't asked me yet, but |
think he would if | would encourage
him a little. 0, dear! do you know l
am just dying for fear | will encourage
him to ask me, and l know am such a
big calf that I'll say yes, and then I'll
have to be dipped, and then I'll die sure.
But wouldn't you be glad to hear that
we are engaged?
You Just ought to see my new dress,
4 70. fCrl1f I,n ir,ct
drawed in my breath all | could when
she was measuring me. Mamma
thought that was one inch larger, but
l told her | was thinner than usual, but
I'm not, I'm nearly one inch bigger.
Our preachers gave it to the tight-lacerS
last night, and | thought everybody was
looking right at me. Tom SAID when we
were starting home that [ was slender
about the waist. How do you suppose
he knew when it was dark?
The MiggS girls are going to join the
Pine Street church. Their folks belong
to the old church up on the hill, but the
girls say the new one has much higher
Steeple. and the organ has ever so many
more stops. Then, you know there are
two milliOnaireS in that church, and
ever so many good catches. | wish Tom
belonged to that church; then [ would
yet Il pew IlSHI Ill HUH VI Illc MlSSSOS.
How | hate them! Do you know they
are after Tom, too? They are not going
to that church for religion. but to catch
beaus. Amt glad Tom doesn't belong
to that church?
Do write and tell me about your
church social, and who was your beau,
and all the gossip since | saw you. 1t
has been awfully dull since l came
home. There has not been thing
worth talking about except the K. NJ.
Q. affair, and it is worn into tatters.
Our pastor thinks such things are hot
suitable for sewing-society gable OF
Dorcas-club talk, but Tom says there is
no harm in it.
Give my love to everybody, but don't
tell the Gilligs about Tom, for you know
how | hate them. Write and tell me all
your secrets, it is so awfully stupid here,
no scandal nor nothing. Yours as
lovely as ever.
MAMIE K. on. O.
