Little sisters are q great l'ial 70 the
young lady with her first bcau
They have such a deadly habit Of
telling just the secrets that their big
sister wouldn't have known Tor the
world, and telling them az just the
worst time they could possibly select
And, "Aat IS moe, they sc.lu TO take
malicious pleasure in telling them.
If Mary Jane has kept her hair
rolled up for two days, TO be we'll
frizzed when Augustus calls, her little
sister viii note the proceeding, and just
as Mary Jane has assured her admir-
ing swain that her hair curls natural
ly, and that il j. almost impossible TO
make il stay anywhere. mp viii pop
the small sister, and tell the whole
story Of the curl-papcrs. and in all
probability she will add the informa-
tion that Mary Jane puts rcd INK on
her checks to make her ''F5I-ittv.'
Little sisters are always cropping
out at the wrong time They never
want TO go II bed the nights " hen the
big sisters beau is expected, and no
tiA-AblAilt tl h'|tlN siLAl 1lil NOAl-
vince them that they are si-epy.
They have eyes Tor every thing and
ears that would detect the slightest
whisper, and next day, at the dinner
table, the big sister will be mortified
10 death and the whole fa5niIR. VIII be
thrown into commissions by the piping
announcement from the small sister:
Gus Jones bit our Mary Jane last
night, right into the mouth | seen
himl AnG she bit him bac.lI'
Little sisters always wan TO know
all the why's and the whercfores. One
of them is likely 10 climb on the knee
of an aspiring young gentleman suit
or and ask him why he doesn have
more hairs in his mustachc; she would
like TO ask him if he doesn't feel bad
because his nose is long. and IL would
delight her dear little hcart 20 iupart
TO him the tact that Mary Brown and
Sister Jane both said he was too long
legged for any thing but greyhound
Small sisters will tell the family Sc
crets with most delightful caudor, and
while the young gentleman caller is
waiting for the young lady of tho
family to give the final touches to her
toilet before coming down the small
sister will confidcntially make hiIA
acquainted with the fact that papa
swears at mamma right along" and
that eve have old hen for dinner and
call it chicken pie" and that Sister
Jane wants to get married awfully to
some rich young fool who will keep
her without work. -
Little sisters will put molasses candy
in the chair and see you sit down on
it without a word of warning; they
will wipe their bread and butter hands
on your pantalOons; they viii cradle
their kittens in your six-do lar hat
they will pin you and your inamorata
to the chairs; they will put burrs in
your hair; they will sift sitwdust from
the cracked bodies IF their dolls down
the back of your neck; and they viii
make faces at you, and yell like littlo
demons if you attempt TO deiond your
self.
Therefore, we say to yoa: II pos
sible, avoid going courting in families
where there are little sisters unless
you are so deeply in love as % be per
fectly indifferent and reckless rs to
consequences. N. i. Weekly.
