Not very long ago two enterprsing young
women thought they would like to 60 with
party of working girls and really see what fair
philanthropist who invited this party to her
house once week, was doing for them. So,
donning their simplest gowns, they Joined one
of the girls whom they knew and soon reached
the house. They went in by the servants en-
trance, were shown into what was evidently
servants parlor, and there the governess Of the
establishment came in and talked to them until
her ladyship was ready to see them. Then they
went up in Indian file to the family dining-room.
Here was the young woman who poses as an
ardent admirer of Napoleon, and who claims,

self, had always thought he was very much off
when it came to a question of his hair, and
doubt if any locks belonging to the man of
destiny are extant
''MAMMA's LOVELY WORKING GIRLS"
The girls were all seated around a table and
then their entertainment began. The woman
who wanted to improve the condition of the
working girls said: "Now, my dear girls, [
must tell you where have been and how re-
ceived, that you will learn to do 1t yourselves
And by the by, YOU see the frock l have on?
That came from Worth, and Worth, you know,
is the most famous and most expensive dress
maker in Paris. Don't you think the combina-
ton of colors is lovely? And want to show
you the lace on my petticoat. Take my word
on it, there is nothing like buying real lace if

Just here small boy, the son and heir, dashed
into the room. His mother caught him and
said: ''Now, dearie, look at mammals lovely
working girls that she's so fond OF. She's go
ing to make them just as nice and sweet as pos
sible, and you must be polite to them, because
they are mammals dear working girls, and you
mustn't mind shaking hands with them" He
went through the process of shaking hands,
everybody feeling keenly the great blessing that
was bestowed upon them.

combination of pale rose and mode you ever
saw You know my idea about you girls is that
you ought to see some of the pleasant things of
life, so l will just have Marie bring down some
of my frocks to show you.n They were brought
OF course every girl there wanted one just like
them, and the influence Of this performance can
easily be imagined. Suddenly the brook began
again. "But really, you know, must talk some
about history to you. | adore Napoleon. You
know he was Emperor Of France, and he always
had lovely people about him. His first wife was
Josephine. There are great many people who
think he didn't treat her quite nicely, but
always call him my hero and say it's nonsense;
he couldn't possibly do wrong. Did somebody
ask me who was the loveliest woman at his
court? Oh, Madame de Stael! And all you
girls must read book that will do you such a
lot of good. It's called Robert Elsmere.

going to reception This ended the evening
and the visitors departed without having even
what the Irish people call bite or sup. One OF
the young women who had posed as a typewriter
had the curiosity to ask what in the world they
went there for, and the girl she asked said
rather wearily, that it was for a change. Wher
women like Grace Dodge, broad-minded big
hearted, and honest Of purpose put out theil
white hands to help the working girl, they do il
in way that makes her keep her selfrespect
and makes her feel that it is as sister and no
as a condescending phlanthropist that they
come to her. But such mistaken kindness a!

Napoleon subject does more harm and will drive
more girls to the bad than anything else. Every

SOME FEMININE CRANKs.
Having been born what Josh Billings calls
feminine woman, have strong opinions regard
ing women, and think when they are not fool
they are as delicious as May flowers or purple
grapes, but when they are fools they are blot
upon the world much more dangerous thar
knayes. AT an afternoon tea the other day, on
who was evidently not fool was giving he
opinion of one who was, TO say the least, YER
near it. Two gray kid gloves were patted to
gether whenever she wished special emphasi
given to her words. 'Impertinence? ! shoult
think it was mpertinence, and worse than that
impudence, The idea Of woman coming ou

Religious cranks among women do more harI

draw down their eyes at something that
amusing and whenever they put anything i
their mouths that is good to eat they do it wit
an air of apologzing to the Lord for enjoyin
the things which he has intended should Civ

bright smile and a happy heart.
