A French Girl ut Play.

Among us it ia not only woman's
duty to please; she does it by instinct.
The tiniest girls do it unconsciOusly.
Just watch them as they walk in the
avenues Of our public parks. They have
all the unstIdied grace and ease OF real
ladies, and, indeed, they fully suspect
that approving eyes watch them as they
skip the rope, for <oquetry, which IS
much moro subtle and more delicate
than flirtation-less direct, too, in its
AIMS innate with them. They are not
ambitious of winning the admiration OF
boys Of their own age. They look down
with disdan Oh such admirers. They
aspire to please. big people. In their in
tercourse with little playmates there is
q great deal of ceremony. Nothing could
be more amusing than the manner OF a
little girl who, having come to the con-
clusion by the general appearance OF an
other little girl that she is worthy OF
the honor Sic is about to confer OH her,
finally asks her to play at hide and seek.
If some brave young, person walks up
to group CT players with the tin:e'hcn-
ored phrase "Mademoiselle, will you
allow me 10 play with your sharp
and comprg henslve glance ut ol:ce de-

(:ff to the barn we lads and lassies 80,
For now the huslxing Leo's the proper thing,
And meath the Chinese lanterns mellow glow

A husky rustic fills the cold, keen air, f..
And sheaf OH sheaf is thrust upon the sight.
And riotous love fits freely everywhere.
And storms OF arrows follow inihis flight.

And was just trifle rough, fear,
Although the others cried ] ''did me proud
When Molly found for me plump red ear
Before that happy huslsing bee was DER .@
was the envy Of each signing swain,
For Molly came across nine red ears more,
And on her lips my kisses swift did rain.
And when saw dear Molly home that night,
And at the gate my love did declare, N.
She whispered in my ear, to my delight,
sob, Jack, twas who put those red ears
there!'' 36g t. -, S
