She was very fair,
And watched her there,
From my place on the opposite seaIi
And thought with asmlle'
As gaZed the while,
Her beauty was quite compIe's'
TIL before my eyes,
To my surprise,
Why-what do you Suppose'
No more nor less,
must confess,
That q mole on the END OF hef uV'o'
But the car didn't glide,
And she swayed one sids,
Aswe bounced along o er tue Tall
Aud, upon my soul!
l found that mole
Was only the dot on her veil
Now f. tbe time when the frivolous
maidens can have everything their own
way. Leap year brings rare privileges
best appreciated by those VINO take au-
vantage Of them. The new year Is YET
but sixteen days old, and already rumors
are current OF unusual doings. Not
withstanding the many weddings that
took place last fail, and the famine OF
men which threatened TO follow, Nheel-
ing can still count at least one man TO
every girl, aud perhaps some over, so
the firtations still continue as OF old,
and everyone is at peace with ner
nefghbOr. Les affaires den c9ur, which
were lust limited at in the early part OF
the season, have now developed into
certainties, and every girl has her spe-
cisl beau allotted her and two or more
danglers at her command. Girls VIII
please not overlook the fact that this,
Ammo Domini 1892, is leap year. Ihey
have certain inalienable rights accord
ed them during the next twelve-month,
among which are life, liberty and pur-
suit OF happiness: also the privilege OF
escOrting a young man to the the
Rtre occasionally and paying the
expenses thereof That the ladies' Will
embrace their great opportunities OF
the wear we have no doubt. The world
has seen so many leap years and the
pleasant buC somewhat exacting custom
annexed to them has grown so worn,
not only through use, but, as Is the
case with 8 great many good things In
this world, through the tireSome 0adl-
mage that it eneyitably calls forth, that
Il really seems time 10 propose achange.
OF course, it would never do 70 leave
the custom behind US altogether among
the other wreckage OF civilization. IL
sbopld be modified. How would 1t an
swer 70 have the woman stop refusing
n fellow once in four years. Lent be-
ginning late this year gives a longer
season, and even with this unusual
liberality of time it will be too snort 10
get in all the contemplated pleasure.
There are even now well-dedned rumors
OF prospective entertainments In the
very near future.
AT the top OF this column will be seen
n truly wonderful "train." 1t was worn
by Miss Trelawny at her recent we'd
ding in London. IL is a dress In rich
white satin, draped in old Brussels point
lace. The train is bordered with satin
ruche. and the lace upon it IS studded
with bows of baby ribbon. The BRIDE
groom'S crest OF five ostrich feathers
ornaments the train. Long Brussels
point lace veil and wreath Of orange bios
