Young Girls First Ra1.

Reieman wilson in Short Stories.
In her room sits the young debutante,
fresh from her bath. clad in the heavy folds
of her bath robe, above which her face
shows as "a pictured smile. She has not
been unmindful of the fitness of things, and
her room by the delicate touch of her own
hands has been made to bloom with flowers:
she would have them look in perfumed ap-
prevail upon her as she dresses for the debut
party.
Smilingly she glances to a chair whereon
are laid the embroidered petticoats of China
silk, then her eyes turn to where across the
bed is placed that gown Of white lmmaterial
gauze.
They are all so beautiful. these clothes.
and thew are all for her. Thereat she
smiles. AS she does SO she spies the tiny
white slippers of undressed kid with the
silken stockings reside them. 1t seems to
the young girl that she is living in fairy
land, and her joy breaks into supremacy
over the subjective condition in which for
days she has kept herself.
she forgets that the hour of young lady
hood is approaching; she is a girl again;
fervently she clasps her hands, the bath
robe falls aside, and clad in her mirth she
merrilV dances about the floor, while
through the window the man IN the moon
smiles upon her. From beyond comes
voice warning her 10 begin the eventful
| toilet.
As she draws on the silken hose the dream
of a smile hOvers about her mouth encar-
mined with the blood of bliss; never before
has it appeared that stockings were so
pretty, she thinks, as she looks down upon
| them.
| Half hesitantly she reaches for the slippers
of white undressed kid, but she touches
them not; they seem too dainty to be put
on now, so she slips into a worn pair and
begins to draw over her one garment after
another.
Over each as she unfolds it her smile deep
ems, and when she stands in gown as white
as her own soul, her eyes glitter with Joy
never have her neck and arms seemed so real
arching her throat she presses her lips upan
them. then leans forward to kiss her mir
rored face. sesia
The slippers on, she stands in contempla-

The days of her girlhoOd have fore di-
! vined. 5sfA
Her whole being is wrapped by the arms
OF consciousness. The long waited for time
has arrived. A great change has been
wrought

girl to create the woman.
