THE ATHLETIC GIRL.
Surely Usurped by the Soft,
CIinging Maid of YOre.

Backward and forward swings the
pendulum of fashion. We fancy we
have put away certain frivolities for
ever, and, presto! here they are back
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 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
new woman, and that the fluffy
summer girl of yore had vanished
forever, but to the great JOY of the
maidens land they are not few
who have all along secretly detested
sport, 1t seems now quite on the
tapis that they may be as much in
the fashion this summer as their
more amazonan companions and
may openly avow their preference
for shady corners and tete-a-tetes
without incurring disapprobation.-

WON BY THE BUTToNH0LE.
Weighty Problem ut Issue Before
Learned Court of Law and
How Settled.

Once upon time case was brought
before learned judge, in which the
question at issue was as to whether
the button was made for the button-
hole or the buttonhole for the button,
says the Boston Transcript.
Counsel for the button held that it
was so plain as to render argument
made for the use and behoof of the
button; still, for FORMS sake, he would
give a few reasons why his conten-
tion was the correct one. 1t was APP
parent, he said, that without the but
tonhole the button would be unable
to perform its function, and hence it
was plain that the button preceded
the buttonhole, and that the latter
was invented in order that the button
might be of service to mankind. 1t
should be clear to everybody that had
it not been for the button the button
hole never would have been thought
of. It's existence necessarily pre-sup-
posed the existence of the button,
The lawyer for the other side was
equally positive in the stand he had
been employed to take. He averred
that the buttonhole preceded the but
ton; that, in fact, the button was
merely an afterthought. He said that,
as everyone knew, the buttonhole can
be employed without the button, as
witness Farmer Jones, who invariably
uses a nail or silver of wood instead
OF the conventional button, whereas
it was impossible to make an effective
use of the button without the aid and
assistance of the buttonhole. Hence
it was shown beyond peradventure
that the buttonhole was of greater
Importance than the button, and it
was natural to infer that the button
hole was first invented and that the
button came later simply as an orna-
men or, at best, as an Improvement
upon the nail, silver or other instru-
mentality wherewith the buttonhole
was made to perform its duty. To
show the relative value of the button
hole and the button, he said, take this
simple example: When button
comes off the buttonhole can still be
made serviceable, but if the button
hole is slit open the button is of no use
whatever. With this the learned
counsel rested his case, although he
claimed that he had not exhausted
the subject.
When the court came in after recess
the learned judge promptly decided
the case in favor of the buttonhole-
clearly just decision, although it was
| whispered about the courthouse thai
the decision might have been differ
ent but for the fact that while chang
ing his linen between adjournment
and reassembling of the court his
honor had dropped his collar button
and hunted for it without success for
half an hour, and perhaps might never
have found it had he not stepped upon
| it. But of course this suggestion
came from the partisans of the but
ton and may fairly be imputed to their
disappointment and chagrin.

There is something deliciously

I'm going to tell you how / woke uf

every porter in the country wakes up
the people on his car half an hour be-
fore they get to the station they
want to get off at. Half an hour?
How did we come to settle on that as
the time people need TO dress? Just
by listening to complaints from pas
sengers who were called too late and
from the rest who were called too
early. Half an hour is just about the
right time to allow, but it took q
long time to find that out. 1t would
take a passenger longer to find out
how we wake him in the morning.
Did you ever notice that few people
know just what it is that wakes
them up? OF course, if they have an
alarm clock it's different, but if they
do not know what the alarm is going
to be they can't ever tell. When peo.

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 a girl, the eldest of whom
is IS and the youngest 12. She is
giving them all good education, and
her housekeeping is done by 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 a
store in the business district of Chi
cago knows Mrs. Owens, and she has
made most of them her friends.

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 APP
point her patrolwoman, with special
assignment in the sweatshops, depart
