WOMAN POLICE SERGEANT.
Mrs. Mary Il. Owens, of Chicago, Holds
This Rank, md Is Earning
Her Salary, Too.

Sergeant Mary L. Owens, of the
Chicago police department, is the only
woman in the world holding such rank
and title, and if she is not good Off
Ger six mayors of that city have failed
to find it out. She is on the regular
police pay roll wears sergeant's badge
No. 81 and reports daily to Chief Col
leran, of the detectives. Nobody, from
the chief of police down, gives her or
ders. In the language of the street,
"she knows her business" and it is an
open secret that she knows it so well
that she can wear her badge and draw
her salary as long as she likes.
She began her official career in 1889,
says the Chicago Record-Herald, soon
after the death of her husband. The
support of family of three young
children devolved upon her suddenly,
while she was yet ignorant of any pro-
fession, trade or method of money
making. Her husbands friends
brought enough pressure to bear to
have her chosen one of the five wom-
en- health officers appointed by Mayor
Cregier. She did the rest herself.
When the women were dropped by the
health department Mrs. Owens had
made herself so conspicuously useful
to the police that the elder Carter Har-
rison told Chief McClaughry to ap-
point her patrolwoman, with special
assignment in the sweatshops, depart
ment stores and shopping districts,
where most of the violations of the
child labor and compulsory education
laws were being violated.
Il never arrest anybody" said Mrs.
Owens, laughing, ''and it is mean to
say that L am the shoplifting sleuth.'

Too Much for Him.

There is story of a layman who
conducted a service one day Yor a
western mission. He had been stout
old soldier in his time, but his knowl-
edge of Hebrew was limited, and his
pronunciation of unfamiliar Bible
names a thing to wonder at.
When he opened the Bible that day
he could not at once find the place, and,
after turning the pages nervously, in
the face of tittering congregation,
he finally took a passage at random and
began to read. AS i'll luck would have
it, he lighted upon one of the genealog-
ical chapters in Ezra, and there he
struggled hopelessly through half a
column of Hebrew names, seeking all
the time for better luck.
At length he turned the page, in the
vain desire of seeing some change in
the substance of the chapter on the
other side. What he found proved too
much for him, and, after one fright
ened glance, he thus concluded his
reading:
"And page and half more of the
same kind, brethren. Here endeth the
first lesson"

pathy can compensate In part for
what you have suffered, they shall
be yours. But although the circum-
stances seem to demand that mar
riage should at once be solemnzed,
the ceremony must not be performed
in Richmond. In all likelihood this
city will be your home, and you
should come here as Raymond's wife.
Fortunately, he has given no one here
reason to suppose he is single, and
it will be very easy at the right time
to have you and the little girl arrive.
l assure you, my daughter that your
reception will leave no room for doubt

Louise sat looking into the benevo-
lent face of the older woman, with
fearful eyes, her heart overflowed
with gratitude.

"Where is she?"
'Near the city. but just now be-
yond the lines. You will be directed
how to reach her when you get
through; or better, Raymond will
join you, and together you will find
her"
Louise went back to the hotel al

cruel war, these scepss of suffering,

her; she told all of her acquaintances
that she and poor dear Frances"

ties closed; that the child was simply

AT SUN RISE.

A cioudless skyline stretching far
Fo right and left. where hiiltops bar
The eyes untrammeled view;
Hugging the faint horizons edge,
1t tapers to an ether wedge
That cleaves the distance through.
And stretched above this belt of blue,
I'm colors of the brightest hue.
Sky-hung, a picture swings;
Painted on riffs of splintered cloud,
White as the robes the saints enshroud,
And light as angel wings.
Curdles of crimson, pile on pile,
1t catches the blushing Dawn's first smile,
Purple, amber and gray;
With rosetints from the rainbow's dye,
And the blue of an Irish colleen's eye,
And gems of purest ray.
Ghimmering lights and sh ldows play
Across its surface, like tie spray
The foaming torrent throws;
FAINT pencilings of sapphire trace
Its border. wrought of 1ilmy lace,
rz-,y
Yrief as the raptures of a dream
Its splendors fade, while yet they seem
To be but scarce begun;
Faint now its crimso on dyes, and pale;
Its banners fall and meekly trail,
Before the rising sun.

THE ATHLETIC GIRL.
Her Prestige Is Being Slowly Hut
Surely Usurped by the Soft,
CIinEinE Maid of YOre.

Backward and forward swings the
pendulum of fashion. We fancy we
have put away certain frivolities for
again as pronounced as ever. The
fact is that the man and woman in
esse have not changed at all.
Circumscribed as we are, therefore,
by the limitations of our humanity,
we find in our orbit that now, as
in the days of Solomon, there is no
new thing under the sum-" and FASH
ion must perforce swing around in
an erratic circle of periods-the Vic
torian, the Napoleonic, the Louis
XVI, the Renaissance, the Grecian,
etc.-to crafty the love of change.
This may seem like a rather elabo-
rate preamble to an analysis of the
coming summer girl of 1901, but it is
curiously apropos to observe that the
athletic girls prestige seems to be
more or less on the wane, and that
soft feminine creature, like the
grandmother of so years ago, who
does nothing but look supremely
pretty in her muslins and laces and
makes herself entertaining, is COM
ing very much to the fore.
A couple of years ago it was gen.
orally thought that the athletic
movement which was so pronounced
all over the country would develop
a new woman, and that the fluffy
summer girl of yore had vanished
forever, but to the great joy of the
who have all along secretly detested
sport, it seems now quite on the
tapis that they may be as much in
the fashion this summer as their
more amazonian companions and
may openly avow their preference
for shady corners and tete-a-tetes
without incurring disapprobation.-

took her to the Harrison street an

child's father and mother suddenly
appeared and claimed their baby. Of
rourse they had been hiding in some
adjacent doorway while their little
one worked on the sympathies of
passers-by. l kept the child all night,
and the parents, protesting in vain,
waited for her. But they never again
sent her out to peddle among saloons
or on the streets.
''If a truant is reported at the
school headquarters as having gone

a round of stores and find the child.

older must be Forthcoming or l send

Mrs. Owens is nearly 35 years old,
but she looks younger and is en-
thusiastic over her peculiar situa-
ton. She has four children, three
boys and girl, the eldest of whom
is IS and the youngest IL. She is
giving them all good education, and
her housekeeping is done by a hired
maid. City officials agree in stating
that, aside from her police work,
she has accomplished great good in
the cause of charity. Every factory
employer, manager and owner of
store in the business district of Chi
cago knows Mrs. Owens. and she has
made most of them her friends.

Mrs. Langtry has set the style it il
likely that there will soon be a raid on
American millinery counters for these
particular hats.
There is something deliciously
charming about a hat of this style.
1t is so distinctly feminine and it's
waving brim can give an air of CO.
quetry to even the most uncoquettish
face. Correctly, it should be worn
with dimity or organde gown OF
many ruffles, with silk mitts-which
are quite the vogue-and with para
sol that is fluff of chiffon and foam
of fiounces or great big slapdash
boquet of real lace.
Probably no style of hat is SO becom-
ing to all ages and all types of women
as the leghorn. 1t is pretty on the
petite girl with her fluffy pigtails tied
with ribbons. 1t is picturesque and
lovely on the large girl-the Mrs.
Langtry type, for instance.
Even on elderly danes it is not en-
tirely out of place, and everyone
knows how cunningly lovely the leg
horn hat is on babies, its waving, lilt-
ing brim shading kissable curls and
sweet laughing eyes.
All hail the leghorn.
Mrs. Langtry has not tucked it back
in feminine hearts, because it has
never been out of them, but she has re-
minded womankind of its perfections,
and for that womankind will be more
than grateful
