They Are Known.

the real sort of girl once and awhile.
THE GIRL FROM THE SOUTH.
saw one the other day and watched her
for an hour. She was looking at play
that had heartrending love story in it,
and just enough of laugh here and to
make life worth living. When the sweet,
heart was telling his love, her beautiful
eyes looked full and soft, and there was
little culver about her mouth that seemed
to say, Isn't that the most exquisite thing
IA the world, that story of love?" And
then, when the comic man came on with
his partner, she laughed too. 1t was a
little laugh that sparkled from her eyes
that brought out the dimples in her
cheeks, and then there came n musical
sound that was bird-like in its beauty.
That girl saw nothing but the play while
it went on, and with her face towards the

with them, she was the most charming

THE GIRL FOR WIFE.
Since that day have discussed girls,
Until / have lost all knowledge of men,
and the conclusion have come to is this:
If my oldest son ever reaches the age when
he should marry, which is about 30, for
before that no man knows how to take
son, let us go down and visit our people in
the south, and then I'll pray three times
day, and twice, to increase my appetite
for devotion, that when the procession of
sons and dogs starts home, the oldest son
will be engaged to be married to southern
girl. And will tell you why | want him
70 have her: First, she has a perfect
belief in religion-and when one says
religion, one means in everything and
everybody that belongs to. her. She has
been taught to think no evil; she believes
to have sweetheart is the most delightful
thing in the world and it does seem such
perfectly lovely compliment to the favored
one to see her eyelids fall and her cheeks
cover themselves with mantle of mod.
esty, when he approaches. She has been
taught that husbands and wives love each
other. and she hasn't had discussed before
her all the miserable, mean, low talk of
the divorce court. She cant imagine
LADIES BEING LOUD VOICED,
dressed loudly, or not respecting the gen.
tlemen OF the family. Sometimes she sac
ritices herself on the altar of respect but
she dies in good cause. She'll tell you
how nasty she thinks all those so-called
jokes about mothers-in-law are, because
naturally, If she should ever get married
and when she says this she droops her
head and smiles in way that tells you
that that's one of the certainties of life
why of course her husbands mother
would get her love just because she was
his mother, and, of course if she hap
pened to he a little queer she would make
the best of it. because when people get old
they do sometimes get queer She is not
apt to be so large that she belittles II man
and makes il impossible for him to call
her "a dear little woman She is just the
right height, because she can look up in
his face, and eyes that are large and full,
and which tell their own stories of love or
hate, are most beautiful when appraised.
And then above everything else she
adores babies. If they don't happen to
have a baby in their home, she borrows
one from a neighbor, gains permission to
wash and dress it, and devotes an entire
morning to cudding the small blossom
and enjoying, in prospective, the delights
of maternity. Now, these are some of the
reasons why l want my boy to marry q

THE GIRL FROM THE WEST.
/ like the western girl. / like her loyalty
and her breeziness, and her determination
to have her clothes tit well and to be up in

delicious as her eyes are clear--those eyes
that look right straight through one and
all over one. as ii inquiring with great
