Miss Maria BrOwnelle, dainty,
pretty, not quite seventeen years old,
educated in the most fashionable sem
mary in the State, caused sensation
q few months ago when she Joined the
Salvation Army aud expressed the
intention of becoming an officer.
Now she has won the admiration of
all who know her by soundly thrash
ing an impertinent fellow who at
tempted to show herself and mother
unsolicited attentions.
Naturally Miss Brownelle is one of
the attractions of the Salvation Army.
A few days ago she appeared at the
head of an army procession on Market
street dressed all in white with silver
spangles. She was the"Snow Queen"
and marched the streets to advertise
the "ice cream festivap which the
army was giving to raise funds-funds
with which to prosecute its work of
relieving distress and soothing suffer
ing.
The men about town had a good
deal to say about the pretty young
girl in white and spaDgles. She fur
nished a new topic for their jaded
imaginations. Had they been given

rected at Captain Sturgeon, who is in
charge of that corps.
The Captain did not answer readily.
He looked as if he might be thinking
of the biblical command, "Be We
angry and sin not" Finally, how
| ever, he answered, "Not very wicked,
/ think"
"Well, he deserved it, anyhow, -
| continued Miss BrOwnelle; "but when
| 1 heard his broken eyeglass fall to the
sidewalk and saw his delicate gold
chain had parted, thought perhaps
it was not very ladylike.
"Those impertinent fellows must be
taught q lesson, anyhow, and if a few
OF them were knocked down they
would not be so forward in their unde
not look very nice for girl in uniform
to strike a man on the streets, but it's
done, and L can't help it. / wonder,
though, what my old companions at
Mills will say when they hear of my
escapade! Pm sure that young man
will not tell them about it.'
GAVE UP HER JEWELS.
Miss Brownelle is not quite seven
teen years old. Her home is with the
widowed mother whom she so quickly
really in Honolulu, where she was
born. There her father was the cap
tain of vessels plying between the
different Islands OF Hawaii and San
Francisco. He was employed by the
Inter- Island Steamship Company.
Marie was sent to Mills Seminary.
Sine completed the course Of that
fashionable c.et 2:::2:5ie home of polite learnt, g
and was duly graduated at the close
of the school year last summer. The
career which opened before her was
little different from that toward which
her schoolmates tended. Her father
had died. but had left to her mother
and herself q comfortable property.
She was bright of mind and pleasing
to the eye. The indications were that
she would dance and fiirt and be 8
social butterfly, make her match and
settle down to the duties of society
matrOn.
But about taree months ago she be-
came interested in Salvation Army
work and was completely converted
at one of the meetings. She soon ex-
pressed desire to enter the training
home and become an officer, her am
bitiOn being to lead In the Army
work at her old Hawaiian bone.
In entering upon this career of lead
ership it was necessary for her to
make a sacrifice. She was told to put
away her jewels. which were of con
siderable value. At once she put
them away. They are now locked up,
and should she become an officer they
will be sold for the benefit OF the
Army.
In the meantime it will be just as
well for the gilded youths to direct
their attention elsewhere than to this
determined young heroine.-S. F. Elk

THE IMPERTINENr CHAPPIE.

THE 1MPERT1NENT CHAPPIE.
Those with energy enough to press
their inquiries ascertained that this
Army lassie was we'll off in this
worlds goods, that she had been grad
uated from Mills Seminary, and that
her enlistment in the army was OF
recent date. All of which was enough
to increase the brilIiancy of the new
star and tend to make her the subject
of rather impertinent study and atten-
ton.
From now on, however, her admir-
ers will keep at a respectful distance.
The avant courier of the chappieS
pursued his attentions too far, was
Knocked down in the street, had his
eye glasses shattered and beat re-
treat which had in it neither grace
nor dignity.
Miss Biownellewas going nome AZ
night with her mother. The boldest
of her admirers, who had been hang
ing about the Army's meetings,
stepped up, adjusted his glasses, lifted
his hat, smiled insinuatingly, took the
mothers arm, leered into the face of
the young lady and asked, "May &C
company you homer"
The next moment the angry fist of
the pretty girl shot into his Ogling
eyes, his eye glasses were shattered
and flew one way while bis hat went
the other, and he was knocked COM
pletely off his feet, falling on his back.
AS he rose, daZed and sheepish, the
young lady struck him another blow,
and he was glad to stink away with
out further castigation.
THE HERoINE's STORY.
This is the way Miss Brownelle told
of her exploit:
1--WE were going home from holt
ness meeting on Friday night and
We're on Suffer street, near Mason,
when q young fellow came up and
spoke to US. He had followed us from
the ball and have seen him on more
than one occasion lOafiDg around
Army meetings. When we were
within q few blocks of our home,
which is at SIS Pine street, the fellow
walked quickly up to us and taking
hold of my mothers arm in a manner
that he probably thought was very
gallant proposed to accompany us
home.
81 was so mad-no, not mad exactly
but was very indignant for two
reasons. He broke in on q little argu-
ment my mother and I were having
about something Major Keppel said
at the meeting, and that was unpleas
ant; and then / was mad-no, indig-
ma. t-because he spoke at all aud

The little maid of to-day listens in

dreams of the children who roamed
about with sunbonnets on their heads.
She thinks they must certainly have
been very queer.
But my little lady does not under.

yore. It has a new quality, that which
the mother of the little maid strives

It is enlancipated. No longer is ii

nerves every time it touches the earsi
neither is it coarse and ugly.
1t is made of finest null, in dainty
colors and trimmed with lace or Irish
point embroidery. The sunbonnet is
so light and cool that the little maid
does not nind having it on her head in
the least.
The CROWN of the bonnet is made
very full and a cape of embroidery
hangs about the neck. A wide ruche,
also of embroidery, encircles the face.
The little maid does not always wear
sunbonnets, however. There is anoth-
er style of head covering for her and
she wears, it. quite as often as the bon
net.
Again it ID of null, but this time
over a stiff wire frame. The wires
which form the brim are shirred in

some embroiderery which is stif1y

and fallingrin waves, makes a pretty

color as the hat, catches back the
