THE girl who considers herself ir-
resistibIe-is there anybody who
has never seen her? Impossible.
] She is one of the dramatic per-
sonae in the drama which every
community is playing on the well-worn
boards of Time.
1t is good fun to watch her. Like
Bottom in Midsummer Nights
Dream" she thinks herself the star
performer in the cast. And she acts
consistently. whether she is arranging
her veil before the mirror. whether she
is measuring her charms in shop
window as, passing by, she sees them
there reflected, or whether she takes
a flower from off her gown to put IT
in a young mans buttonhole, says
Dorothy Fenimore in the Chicago
Journal.
When she walks down the street she
is deeply conscious of the men who
stare at her. Her haughtiness is meant
to blight any mere man who dares to
lift his eyes above the spot of court
plaster fixed upon her lifted chin, or

the self-same moment that 1t wounds.
When she talks her conversation re-
minds her hearers Of a music box Of
single tune. She plays the same air
over and over-what Charlie said last
night, the attentions that she has re-
ceived from Tom and Dick and Harry;
who called on her last week, and who
will take her to the theater tomorrow.
She is always speaking of love as Of
an old acquaintance. And yet, tits
doubtful if she would know him
should she see him. If he were to
stand right beside her. clad in his best
scarf, and his golden bow and arrows,
she would probably look right over
his head, unless somebody called her
attention to him. Imagine her, then,
absent-mindedly chucking him under
his ancient but saucy chin, with

THE SHIRLEY SHAKERS.
Remnants Of Society That Was Els.
tablished In 17D3.

tablished In 1503.
Within a mile of the town of Shirley,
in Massachusetts,, forty miles from
Boston. is a little remnant of n once
fiourishing society of Shakers estab-
lished in the year 1893 with a men,
bership OF forty four adults and twen-
ty-two youths and children. Mother"
Ann had visited this neighborhood sew
eral times before the church was final
ly established. She was the guest of a
prosperous farmer named Elijah
Wildes. who eventually donated his
farm as the nucleus of the large pos
sessions owned later by the Shakers.
The Wildes house remained standing
until two or three years ago, and visit
ors to the Shaker settlement were
shown the room in which Mother"
Ann preached, and also the room in
which she was concealed one night
when a band of men from the village
appeared at the farm bent on mobbing
the heretical Ann. whose doctrines
were regarded by some of the Shirley
ties as little short of monstrous and
evil to the last degree.
But Elijah Wildes and his wife chung
to the new faith. and her Shirley settle
ment finally grew into a prosperous
colony of more than 100. owning above
$500 acres of land in common. besides
q church. a dozen or more large and
splendidly built brick houses. great
barns. a dairy, mill and shops of
various kinds. A thriftier or more in
dustrious class of people never inhabit-
ed the earth. Nor can this singular
sect be surpassed in exquisite cleanli-
ness. The interior of their homes, like
the exterior. is severely plain, but clean
and orderly to the last degree.
The world Of fashion gives them no
concern, for their dress is the same
year in and year out In former years
they had distinctive form of dress for
both men and women, and this dress
was very similar to that worn by the
old time Quakers. and, while this dis
tinctive style of dress is no longer ad-
hered to rigidly, the Shakers always
dress simply. and their Sunday garb
is plainest of all.
Elder John Whitley. now an old man
Of eighty-six and paralyZed. has been
for great many years ut the head of
the community of Shakers in Shirley.
He came from England many years
ago and has been one of the Shakers
Of Shirley about sixty years. He is
patriarchal looking old man. with an
unblemished record of character. Fa-
Their John. Al they call him now, can
no longer direct the affairs of the COM
munity because Of the infirmity of
years, but his faith is mistaken. and
he still believes In all of the claims Of
Mother Ann Lee.
The Shirley community has dwindled
to a little community of but ten men,
bers. three men and seven women. and
several Of them have been members Of
the community for more than fifty
years. There has been but one addi-
ton to the community in the past six
years. and the youngest member must
be nearly fifty years of age.-Boston
