it is thought pretty; next, because it's cheap
The shabbiest of dresses is supposed to look
less shabby il pink strea uers float from the
shoulders, and the scantiest Of skirts Is be-
lieved TO have its defects hidden IL a sash
ribbon is worn with it. lt is a bit painful
to you and me, for after oil il is not only the
desire to look well that makes these girls so
anxious about their little fineries, but it 1s
the desire 20 look well in the eyes of some
body for whom they care. Just as Mile.

her dark hair, because she knows Mr.. Ver5

gle, on her way from the factory, stop to
buy five yards of pink ribbon and sews it
on her frook because she wants CHIMNEY to
think she looks nice.
LOVE AMONG THE LowLY.
It's the old story it's the story that all Of
us learn with pleasure that some remember
with pain aud soIne never cease learning
It's the lesson of love. IL puts the same
light IN Mnggie's soft blue eyes that it does
in the great dark ones OF Mile. Ian
guor; aud when each of these women is
hurt through love it gives each that same
sorrowful look. Sometimes when it brings
unhappiness it hardens women, but 1t is
much apter TO make Mile. Languor
cold and selfish than it is to have that effect
on Maggie, for she, poor little soul, can
only give so much time to crying for her
lost love, as she has to work, and she doesn't
know what great blessing her work is to
her when her heart is SICK
But VINO is talking about unhappiuess
now We are at the ball, and the march
is playing for supper Maggie is trium-
phRntlY leading the procession, leaning on
the arm Of CHIMNEY, with Mr. Flaherty
clutohing her by the other arm. The rib

Chimmy has told his friend Flaherty that
Mag has given notice at the factory, and
they would be pleased to have HIM stand

Maggie is going TO work after the

says: mot much; when l takes a wife l
propose TO take care Of her." And Maggie
looks at vim and even the ribbons spesk

TO hug CHIMNEY for saying that, for l
know he means it.
SUPPER IS READY
The supper is calculated to awaken
thirst IL consists largely Of rye bread
sandwiches, literally spread with mustard,
pink ice cream in small dabs on large
saucers, and a decoction known as punch,
evidently made of claret as it Is known on
lemons, and something that tastes like
hair oil. but which is referred to as "de
cordial" The punch is respected at dis
tancs, for most of the dancers have tasted
Of it before, and know Its full effect ln-
stead, beer is liberaIy ordered and drank,
and, as it is fresh and cool, and there is not
much Of it in q glass, no great harm is done.
BALL ROOM BEHAVIOR.
The ball haS a very decided position in
| society among the other people. It does
less harm than you would think, for the
girls go to dance and most OF them have
their steady company under pretty good
control Drunkenness Is by no means COM
mon, and il fight is gotten up it is because
some girl has been doing little flirting, TO
which her steady very properly objects.
From the minute you have a steady you are
his, and you can't dance or even talk to any
other man at a ball without his Ver-
| mission; If you do, his big fists are ready
to knock the other man out and the chances
are that the lady friend who makes the
trouble has such an admiration for valor
that she throws herself into tbs arms of her
| steady, and after the fashion OF all women,
| lays the blame entirely on the man who has
been licked.
DESIRES OF THE RICH AND THE POOR.
There is very little difference between
Mile. Largour and Maggia.
she will wear; the other puts on the best
one she has.
One gets up in the morning after she has
had her chocolate in bed, and delights in
her bath; the other splashes herself in a tin
basin of water until her face shines, while
her coffee is heating.
One wonders how the other people live
aud sends her check to some great charity
the other knows. and gives helping hand
| where there is sick baby. or sews far into
the night to make wedding gown or a
| shroud.
One is surprised that there are strikes ard
dissatisfaction; the other is certain that,
| while there may be wrongs, it is the lazy,
poor workman who incites the industrious
and good one
Oae has a placid enjoyment in quiet
dance with Mr.. We're de We're; the other
has thoroughly good time whirling around
with Chimmy.
Both are American women and If they
| changed places some night, Maggie could
fit just as well into the life OF Mile. Lam
guor as she does into her own.
The one is G tall, white, stately lily; the
other is stalk of mignonette, sweet, clean
and healtbful The lilies are fev-the
world is full of mignonette Which do you
love the best? l think one heart goes out
to the sweet simple flower, and that is the
heart Of BAB.
