DECLINED WITH THAMES"
l met q girl the other day who has recently
been reduced TO s rather impecunous posi-
ton in the world.
"Oh, I'm all right she said, II shall make
plenty Of money"
When she was asked what her plan was for
enriching herself, she replied: Il am going
to begin writing for the newspapers next
week
With a truly sublime faith, this girl is now
sending in manuscripts TO all the newspaper
offices in New York Ten days Of toll have
brought in nothing. But her example, If il
could be held up before the hundreds of other
amateurs who are srnothering the editors in
the unavailable pearls OF their young fancies
would not deter single struggler from her
endeavor 10 reach the pinnacle of fortune and
fame
II was at a reception in the rooms Of well
known htterateur the other night that rosy
bud of tempting sweetness in a snowy gown,
dashed up TO the editor of morning paper,
who was present, and exclaimed: ''Oh, I'm 80
glad you are going 10 print my article G.,
morrow"
Have we something Of yours1' asked the
editor
Yes, indeed, = replied the girl II mailed
it yesterday
The editor smiled and changed the subject;
but for some unexplained cause the beautys
effusion did not see the light of the next day
At her breakfast table she found an ominous
looking envelope, for which the servants told
her there was six cents extra postage to be
paid Tearing open the massive thing that
most depressing Of all inanimate objects, a
rejected manuscript, was laid stark and
awful before her On little detached slip
that fiuttered into her lap the most horrible

burned into her eyes: Declined with thanks
Still our girls persist in making their fortunes

seen. in their variations OF the conventional
horseback costume, walking to and from the
stables around Central park They look like
those heroines which old fashioned novelists
and dramatiSts used to put in their romances,

New York maidens Of the saddle are more
utiiitarian. One of them was on "a fractions
horse, and the beast pranced, SHE'D reared,
plunged and seemed determined 10 throw her
of. She kept her seat in q most determined
manner. At length the beast gave unmis-
taxable evidence that ne was going to lie
down and roll over
Help heIpln the girl cried, showing for
the first time any fright
1t was no pale and poetic young man who
responded, but burly park policeman, who
said as he seized the now squatted horse by
the rein: Get off miss. Why don't you get
OFF,
She seemed strongly fixed in the saddle, and
even when she and the horse both lay fat she
was inseparabIe from her seat.
Are you glued fastf' the officer asked, as
he tugCed at her arms.
''Ne-not glued" she gasped, "onIy but
toned on"
And indeed she was Determined not TO be
thrown by her spirited steed, she had devised

But hereafter she viii use it only on a horse
