was telling of supper that Is counted among the archives of the Springs. At it was large party, and the rivals were opposite each other Miss Triplett was asked to give a toast. She declined. Then somebody smiled at Hattie Ould where she was standing, looking like picture, holding her glass triumphantly in the air, and making a graceful bow to the other girl, she said: Here's to youth, beauty and health. United this makes triplet." And many stories are told of this one and that one, and the voice of the little beauty sinks as she Hattie Ould sleeps, of the grave cover ed with daisies and how on the day of her funeral, when all Richmond that couldn't drive walked to see their pride. their beauty, 1aid-away forever, instead of a hymn four gentlemen sang her favorite song, Under the Daises,' and sleeping near was the little baby whose life, lasting only a few minutes had been her death.
 Then there was silence, and in the uuietness that comes over me as 1t does over them I understand why the wo- men of the south are popular with men,
 It is because they are always affec- tionate. They never lose an opportuni- ty to give a kiss, to pay a compliment or to do a something that will please the man that rules their hearts.
 It is because they never talk scandal, a pleasant gossip being enough for

of tobacco kings or railroad capitalists. The soft southern speech and the pretty southern gallantry are infectious, and hard hearted cross grained brokers find themselves saying polite nothings and making awkward but we'll meant bows to whomever may have attracted their attention. A northern man is as wax in the hands of southern woman.
 Undoubtedly in the south the fem mine element is the stronger, and in the hands of it's women lieth salvation. But to return to what's going on here.
 To those interested it may be stated that, if anything, the juleps are slightly sweeter and the whisky used in them has a more oily taste. mean this in a complimentary sense, for the whisky that rasps the throat is not conducive to the joy of a julep. A julep must go down one's throat in a slow sort of toboggan fashicn, and all the while you are smelling the spicy flavor of the mint and wondering who first discovered it or, having found it., combined whisky, mint and sugar, gave it this title and made it one of the great seductions of the south. You may go about declaring you do not like it, you may say you have an English preference for brandy and soda, for the champagne cup that seems to touch you in a. fascinating way, but once your foot is on the native heath of the southern girl you meeBly bow down to the julep.
 Next to the julep comes the consump-

ton of chicken, and, though up to date you may have thought a chicken good in it's way and undoubtedly healthful, it is simply surprising to see thase, southern women eat it meal after n5eaI and prefer it to the juiciest steak, sttle3 most underdone bit OF mutton or the sfn-' est fish that ever was cAugftt.

 The belle of the year is talking softiy. of beautiful woman who WIS the llse' before her mother was married--a wtn- derful beauty great wit-the daughter of Judge Ould of Richmond. known to all the country round as Hattie Ould.

them, since their homes, children and
 husbands usually make a world that satisfies them. It is because while they are intelli- gent, we'll read women, usually women up in the classics, they will not touch the foul sex novel of today. It is love, love, love, that makes the southern girl go around. Every girl ex- poets to get husband and to love him with all her heart, and she is seldom disappointed. The average man is usu- ally very happy when he gets the belle of the Springs" or one of her admiring women friends for wife, and he ought to be, oughtn't he?

dances, mint juleps and admiration. She does not drink so many juleps, but each morning she takes one because she has been in the habit of doing so ever since she was baby, and she manages to im- bibe it as bird might, her pretty face showing above the bunch of green like the flower that she is. She is adored by young and old, and the secret of her popularity lies in this-she will give up a dance with the man whom she loves dearly to hobble through one with old Tom Ashton, who will persist in danc- ing, although he has a wooden leg, but then he fought alongside of papa and once saved him from being killed dur ing the war.

which makes all the difference between the woman and the shirt front
 It is the shirt front that she thinks ''our men wouldn't like much"-the shirt front in all it's glory and grandeur, stiff and immaculate. She is standing up with her hands behind her like the pictures of Dorothy Tennant, saying, How would I look in shirt and jack et?" We'll, it is a funny thing, but you can't conjure up a picture of how she would look in a shirt and coat, but you do approve of the way she looks in a white null frock, a broad sash about her waist and a bodice that is V shaped at the throat, both back and front tan talizing you with a glimpse of the white neck; a head crowned with soft brown hair and a half French, half American face glowing at you.
