rAe pAMosel or ONE DIMENSION.

let others celebrate the charms
OF ladies fair. with figures ample.
OF whom the Medicean Is
The Venus serving for example;m
I string my Tyre in praise OF one
Who makes no vulgar. vain pretension
To fascination through the aesh,
The damosel Of one dimension.
The plump. though pretty. now appear
But coarse beside her girlish slimness,
Whose rare attenuation shows
No trace OF ghastiiness or grimness;
Although tits true she'd ne'er suggest
The type you might call tutti frutti,
Her slender form today, nleseems,
Describes the iaudcd line of beauty.
l. looking on her lovely length,
Abandon with amazing quickness
Nv orthodox old prejudice.
Revolving seem both breadth and thickness;
How Turks delight to feast their eyes
On fat doth pass my comprehension;
For me the fairest woman Is
The damosel Of one dimension.
Her one dimension Is enough;
The line that emulstes the willows
Own supple grace Is better worth
Than fattened 6esh that rolls and pillows.
But does my lady know her charmf
Alas, I'm filled with apprehension
Lest antilean transform and spoil
Nv damosel OF one dimension.

The Surprise Was For She Who Had
Planned to Surprise.
That surprises do not always sur
prise those for whom they are intended
is one of the peculiar things about sur
prises, and this fact was well Illus
trated one day this week in an east end
house. The lady of the house received
word from a friend that she was COM
Ig out the next day for lunch. Now,
happened that the next day was the
day on which the servant girl had her
day off, and the lady of the house made
ND her mind that she would surprise
her friend by getting up nice lunch
prepared by herself, for she had the
reputation when they were young Ia
dies of not being able to cook. while
her friend had the reputation Of being
an excellent cook.
The day her friend was expected the
lady went to market and laid in a sup
ply Of all the good things which go tC
make up a fine lunch. She went home
and lighted the fire and prepared fol
the cooking Just then she discovered
that she had forgotten to get some
fruit and told her young daughter tC
tell her friend when the latter came
that she would be back In a few mo
ments. She went to the store and
meeting some of her friends. staid quite
awhile, forgetting how time was flying
In the meantime the friend arrived
and, being told that her hostess woui(
soon be home, she went into the kitch
en-, and, seeing the good things there
she went to work and cooked and pre-
pared the lunch. When the lady of tn
house arrived home, she was astonish
ed to see the table set and most ap
petizing lunch on the table. The SUI
prise she had intended for her frien
was n surprise for her. - Pittsbur
