Auburn.Haired Girls.

All young women possessed of red
hair can remember that in the days of
their childhood their hirsute adornment
was IL source of mocking merriment to
their friends, and the term "sorrel top"
OF strawberry blonde" was one of con-
tempt. They wondered, perhaps, why
it was that they were always called
@red-hcaded," when their playmates
We're described as being black, brown,
OF golden haired. But the "red-headed"
girls don't mind now that it is every
young woman's ambition to be auburn
haired, and she hopes by the use Of
hair dyes to attain the shade which be-
longed to the wicked Lucretia. If she
gets exactly the right shade she does
not see why a single thread of her hair

women have had this Titan red hair.
Catherine of Russia gloried in it.
and Anne of Austria had brown hair
Just on the verge of being red. Ninon
de L'Enclos was equally proud of her
warm-colored tresses, and Mary Stuart
seemed a daughter of the sun. Jane
Hading and Mrs. Potter both have

dents Daughter,
Long before the present Mrs. Me-
kee was married or her father had be-
come president of the United States,
she was visiting in Baltimore, at the
home of Senator Davis. whose daugl-
ter Kate was Miss Harrison's most in
innate friend. Both girls were noted
for their quick s%ympathies. kind-heart-
edness and lovely dispositions, and the
following incident serves to show that
the reputation was not unmelited:
The young ladies were one day riding
in n street car. when an old colored
woman entered and seated herself di-
rectly opposite to them. For IL few
moments she fumblcd in the depths of
u capacious pocket, and then felt care
fully each finger of her cotton gloves,
while gradually u look of dismay set
tied upon her ebony features, and
finally, desisting her efforts. she sat
gazing hopclessly at the toe of her car
pet slipper; Suddenly u bright idea
seemed to strike her, and, leaning to-
ward the two young girls opposite, she
whispered i'll u perfectly audible tone:
Moneys, wud you mind untvin' dis yor
garter, u helpln' oh me to git my
money? Use dun forgot to keep out
my change, an / Z ussn't stoop, count

Carefully raising a clean calico skirt
she exposed to view II white cotton
stocking with a good sized lump just
above the ankle.
Oar, It's, honey; OATS whar i allus
carries it an Use ncber lost a cent

Although the car was full of people,
and among them one or two fashion
able young men, it was characteristic
of these girls that they could not re-
fuse to do II kindly act, hut bending
toward the old ncgress. Miss Harrison
CAREFUL y nnwound the long knit gar
ter, and Miss Davis plunged her little
gloved hand into the novel porte
monaie and drew on the desired
change.
