Revolt OF the Rlus-Grass Belle.


Most unusual of any club which has
yet been heard from is that which late
ly has been formed in Louisville, KY.
Twenty-Five women, and report says
that they are all young and pretty,
have formed themselves into a society
for me PRONUNCIATION of the latest of
woman's rights-the right to be ugly.
They do not mean by this that they are
going to cut off their noses or other
wise disfigure themselves, but simply
that they are no longer going to dress
or demean themselves to please men.
"The day" they recently announced,
when we can say to man that we don't
care whether he likes us or not. that
day we divide the world with him."
To the mere man this seems to be
only the feminine way of saying that
the day she ceases to be a woman
she becomes as good as man, and if
all women were thought so man might
well be terrified. As it is young wom-
en- probably will think twice before
they follow the fair Kentuckians' ex-
ample, for after all the women who
remained women would have it all
their own way. Every month the So
ciety meets and discusses the progress
that has been made in their fight for
women's right. Any woman who
takes an oath that she never will be
guilty of any of the arts in vogue for
attracting mans smiles and approba-
ton is eligible for membership Matri-
mony, however, is not looked upon
with disfavor. Provided woman can
win a husband without resorting to
any of the arts to make herself attrac-
tive, she is perfectly at liberty to do
so. The only stipulation that is i'm
posed upon the members of the new
society is that the word obey" be left
out of the marriage ceremony. Only
single women are eligible for member

wrapping Up the Coin ia PAPER.

One of the lesser, but established
newer customs Of the city is that of
wrapping up in paper coins thrown to
the organ grinder, says the Sun. There
are no monkeys now TO climb up and
take the money; they are not permit
ted to be carried in the city, and If
they were they could not climb to the
upper stories of the tall flats and tene-
ments. The money from them must be
thrown down. The organ-grinder can
not leave his organize carries about
nowadays a big organ on wheels-to
pick up or to hunt for the money; that
work is now attended to by somebody
else who goes about with the organ
grinder, to help, if necessary, to pull
the organ and to look after and pick
up contributions. And even sc. with
somebody doing nothing else but look
for them. some coins would be lost II
thrown from windows high in the air
to strike upon the pavement below and
bound up and away. Hence the COM
mon practice in these days of doing
up in piece of paper the coin thrown
from a nigh window The paper dead
ems the fall and keeps it from bound
ing, and it serves also to mark wht -e
the coin lies.

John was looking before him, away

somewhat distracted glance.

bear. II was never home to her. Brit

There was a minutes silence; when
conversation began again 1t drifted to
other topics. John joined but little in
it; his sister turned her attention once
more to me and began to sound the
shadows Of my knowledge, the depths
of my ignorance. In ten minutes she
had discovered all that had not read
all the fundamental subjects on which
had not thought; she had found out
that my knowledge Of art was nil, Of
music superficial. of literature superb

HIS Bright Future.

A reporter happened to be dining
with a friend the other evening, and
of course the tables population in
cluded the inevitable 5-year-old boy.
The latter had fallen into a habit OF
asking for all kinds Of impossible
things, being refused and going howl
ing from the room, in obedience to the
command. He would re-enter two
minutes later with half-dozen dirty
streaks and bright I-accept-your-
apology smile on his face. On this
evening, after the third excursion, he
suddenly conceived an affection for the
sugar bowl. He reached for 1t, got 1t
and as promptly gave it up in response
to the threatening hand of his mother.
His father glanced up casually, wait
ing for the usual outburst before he
sent him out, but instead the child's
face frightened and his eyes twinkled
with anticipation. What are you so
glad about, Willie?" asked his father

straight, frank, friendly glance that

She did not kiss me. But she took
my hand with firm clasp that was
not unfriendly, and she looked straight
and keenly at me, with an interested,
wondering, slightly humorous look.
