In no section of the city do more pretty
girls reside than around Hamilton square.
Van Worst Park boasts Of its handsome
residences and aristocratic exclusiveness,
but Hamilton squares pride and delight
are its pretty girls Entrance to the
charmed circle to which these young
ladies belong is largely sought for and he
is counted lucky man who gains admit
lance. A local pride governs the girls to
a great extent and they lavish their
smiles upon those of their immediate
neighborhood. They are all beautiful
dancers and are much given to the pleas
ures of society There are many among
them who are accomplished pianists, but
do not know OF one Of their number
who has ever courted public appreciation
as singer, yet / am told that more than
one OF these fair ones possess excellent
voices which only their intimaIes are
permitted to hear ia ali their sweet
ness and purity. A sallow complexioned
youth from New York, who wanders
about with an affected air Of listsessness
in vain endeaFor to impress people chat
he is blase, obtained admission to a select
dance OF this charmed circle not long
since. He was looking more Disguised
than ever when pretty blonde, not more
than eighteen years OLD, waltzed grace
fully by. She WAS q beautiful girl, with
slender symmetrical figure. and as she
glided by the Sallow youth he caught a
glimpse OF pair of bonny blue eyes,
which sent thrill through his eInaciated
frame. AS his eyes followed the girl
tripping over the floor, her movements
off fa6
orchestra played, he thought he had never
seen more graceful dancer in all his
small life. After while. when he had
obtained promise of a dance from the
young lady, he found written on his card.
Miss Beckie Horstman-
A GRACEFUL PEDESTRIAN
Not only is Miss Beckie graceful on the
ball room floor, but when she walks on
the street she has that long, easy stride
which makes almost every man she passes
on the street turn and look after her, and
which the young man who writes verses
for The Outlook declared the other day
THE very poetry of notion
The HorsIman mansion on the Eighth
street side of the square shelters another
pretty blonde young lady, Miss Beckie's
sister Carrie. Miss Carrie is as popular
as her sister, and reSem bles her in many
of her ways. She is OF larger figure, and
possesses the same graceful ways and
charming manners.
Near the Horstman home, in a large
roomy brown stone live the three daugn-
ters of ex-Mayor Charles II. O'Neil.
They are all attractive girls, and
although they do not mingie TO any
great extent in society. they are much
admired by those who know them. They
are tall and slender bruneItes.
In the midst of q well Kept garden
which pieasingly relieves the monotony
af the brnVn Srona row IN F.i0fafh afrnaf
stands the home OF John Betz, the
brewer. To many the chief ornament of
that home is the popular brewers charm
ing daughter Lizzie Miss Lizzie is petite
and slender with light brown hair as fine
and glossy as silk and bright blue eyes
which rival the lustTe Of Miss BecKie
Horstman's. Miss Betz dresses in rare
good taste and has always that all about
her which is best designated by the ex-
pressive, If not elegant term, stylish.
A PROMISING BUD.
One of the most attractive of the famed
circle is Miss Addie Coover, whe resides
on the Eighth street side of the square.
and is also noted for the elegant taste
with which she dresses. She is neither
fair nor dark, butts OF that happy medium
which pleases almost everyone. She is
young lady of accomplishments, and
when the circle comes to elect a queen
she will be prominent candidate.

win distinction in this circle, is the daugh-
ter of Freebooter O. H. Perry. She re-
sides on the Eighth street side OF the
park, and although she has not yet made
ner formal debut into society. she is so
pretty both in form and feature, that
can safely predict she will be most
charming bud. Over on the west side OF
the square reside two attractive girls who
are ornaments to Hamilton Park society.
They are the Misses German and are
the opposite OF each other in appearance
Miss Lille. the elder, is petite and dark,
while Miss Nellie is tall and fair, with
what one of her girl friends declares
rapturously is, tine lovaliest wavy,
brown hair you ever saw5
Both are the same, however,
in manner and make most charming host
esses. Their friends always take pleas
ure in calling upon them. Tor these two
pretty girls are masters, or more appro-
priately speaking, perhaps, mistresses of
the art of entertaining. One of their
immediate neighbors Is Miss
Carrie Mapes. tall, fair girl. with q
studious countenance.
Like her sisters of this neighborhood
she is of attractive manners and an orna-
lnent to the circle.
The east side of the square contains
but one member of this select coterie.
Miss Carrie Smith. whose pleasant,
jovial disposition has won her hosts of
friends Miss Smith is one of the pref
tiest aud most popular of THESE young la
dies. and of ner many attractions one of
the most prominent Is her beautiful curly
hair. EIDDA.
