YOUNG GIRLS IN ENGLAND.
A Decided Contrast to the American Miss-Do Not Ape Their Elders
 as Does She.

Most girls begin to assume the hab- its and manners of their elders and to affect their dress far too soon. Child hood is anxious to mimic the appear ance of maternity, and does 1t so we'll that 1t ceases to be childlike. A great many little girls are longing to wear their hair in a pompadour and don long frocSs years before they should do SO, and as the American girl usually has her own way. it is the reason why foreigners sometimes make the re- mark that we have only little chill dren and women-no "bread-and- but ter misses" at the betvixt-and-b be- tween stage.
 English girls wear their hair loose or in braids down their backs often until their eighteenth year. which is one of the reasons why they are famed for their abundant locks. A girl should not begin to put her hair up except on particular occasions until she is IS at least, unless she is unusually tall and mature-looking. or her hair Is very scant and the paucity of her dresses Is q source of grief to her. and she would rather trust two black tsfeta bows to hide the deficiency. And speaking of bows reminds me that the huge bows are not considered sty- fish except in cases where necessity commands them. Horsebsck riding. for instance. for out-of-door games where hats are not worn and hair pins are likely to be lest And of course they are necessary when the hair is uorn in a braid But the big bov stuck on the head at random. and usuzIly anything but straight, Is q thing Of the past

It Adds Very Much to the Child's Comfort to Have Overall Like

It Is tucked at the top. both front and back, the tucks being shorter at the sides than in the center. The tucks are divided in series of fours by pointed straps of red and holland colored embroidery. The lower edge is turned up with a hem one inch wide.

CHAPTER XIII.

CHAPTER XIII.
 | UILFORD DUNCAN carried
 . out his purpose, as he
 thought, with good deal of
 O tact He began. by calling not upon Barbara, but upon three or four other young women-a thing he had never done before. He thought in this way to make his call upon Bar bara, when it should come, fan incon- spicuous event. To his surprise, his entrance thus into society created something of flutter among the wo- men folk, especially the married wo- men who had marriageable daughters or who were matchmakingly interested in other young women not their daugh- ters; for Guilford Duncan, the moment he was thought of as . social factor andea matrimonial possibility, was seen to be the "best catch" in the little city, the most desirable young man in the town. He was young and distinctly handsome. He was man of educa- ton, culture and superior intelligence. His manners were easy, polished and very winning. Especially he treated women with certain chivalric defer en1e that pleased them even more th4n they knew. Captain Will Hal lan's wife, who was the social leader ef the city, said to him one day:
 You must be carefu what you do in the way of paying attention to young women. A very little attention on yotr part is apt to mean great deal to T sirl-and still more to her man. mS
 But why should itT' asked Duncan In unfeigned astonishment. Why should ordinary social courtesy on my part mean more than the same thing means in the case of any other young manT
 T don't know that I can tell you" she answered. At least I don't know that can make you understand"
 T sincerely wish you would try. certainly do not want to- He hesi- tated and did not complete the sen tence. Es#
 "Oh, I know all that. J know what you mean, because 1t is what I mean. l tell you that if you pay more than Just little and a very casual atten- ton to any girl, ths Iirl and. worse still, all her elderly female relatives are likely to misconstrue your motives. You are In serious danger of breaking some tender hearts and winning fo, yourself the reputa ion of being thai most detestable thipg-a male flirt.'
 But really, Mrs. l[allam." interrupt ed the perplexed yolrS man, T don't understand. I hay, not called more than twice upon any one girl, afd"AFe Well, don't. Thi t's all I've got to say"
 Duncan went ava puzzled. He had Intended to be yer, shrewd and cir

Tteo ot hts adpersartes had gone to grass

Tsco o5 hts ddrersartes had gone to grass cumspect in this matter. He had in tended by calling once or twice upon each of several young women to de prive the calls he intended to make upon Barbara of any look of signifi- canoe, and now before he had even begun to cultivate acquaintance with Barbara he found his small prepara- tory callings the subject of curiosity and gossip.
 He was resolved not to be baked of his purpose, however. He saw no req son to permit that. He would go that very evening to see Bsrbars. and he would repeat the visit from time to time until a fuller acquaintance with the girl should cure him of his fascfaa- tion. Acquaintance must do that. he was persuaded.
 Barbara Verne was not accustomed to receive visits from young men She was almost too young. for one thing. or af least she had been almost too young until about this time. Moreover. her life was unusually secluded She de soted all her time to her e1acting house \holl duties. Except that she attended siIurch once each Sunday. she was nev- ef. seen in any public place or any wiAere else outside Of her aunt's house or the hOusr Of her single friend Mrs Richards. a retiring matron. who nei- Ser received company nor went out anywhere. These twO-the young girl and the middle aged matron-weTe somewhat more than intimate in their affection. but apart from this one friend BariJara visited nobody The young women uf the town did not think of her. therefore. as one of them selves ali all TheF regarded her rather as a child than as a young woman. though If they had troubled to think aIout the matter they would have re- uemheresf that sfse was as old as some ot tlicnseivrs-

 final decision till tomorrow evening. 1 thought that would be useless and that the delay might make him miss chance to engage some other girl, but he insisted that he wasn't going at all unless I would go with him; 50 just because he seemed to wish it prom ised to wait till tomorrow evening be- fore saying final mo- Somehow you simply have to do what Mir. Duncan wants you to do, you know"
 MT. Gullford Duncan is rising rap idly in my estimation" answered Bar bara's friend. T have understood that he is man of good sense and good taste. Obviously he deserves that high repute. Your no must be 'yes,' Bab."
 ''Oh, but that's impossible!'
 'I don't see it."
 Why, you know I can't afford a gown"
 'I still don't see it. It's to be a fan cy4dress affair, believer ro,e,s;
 'Yes, of course"

Then, with white cape of bishops lawn and white cap and apron, we'll make you into the most charming little Quaker maiden imaginable. The char acter will just suit you because you suit 1t. That matter is settled. Go home now and go to bed, and you dream of anything but yes"

Robert, who happened to be at the gate, could see her throughout the little Journey. And she knew that the faith full negro boy would wait there until her return.
 "You are all in furry, child" said her friend for greeting. What Is 1t about1 DS you come to me for ad- vice, or sympathy, or consolationY'
 For Mrs. Richards knew of Duncan's visit, and with q shrewd woman's wit she guessed that Barbara's disturbance of mind was in some way connected with that event.
 "No," answered the girl. T didn't come to consult you, at least I think didn't. It is only that something has happened, and want to tell you about It."
 "Very well, dear. Go on."
 ''Oh, it's nothing very important. Only that MT. Guilford Duncan has asked me to go with him to the party next week."
 "Well, go on. see nothing strange in that"
 Why, don't you understand? It is MT. Duncan, and he has asked me"
 T see nothing yet to wonder at," calmly replied her friend. Indeed, 1t seems to be quite natural. I have un- derstood Mr. Duncan to be a gentle man of uncommonly good taste. If he has made up his mind to attend the dance, why shouldn't he choose for his partner the best, the dearest, the most charming girl in the city? Of course you are going?"
 "Why, no. Of course I can't. told him so, but he urged me to postpone

Jackson Park, one of the most pop

The park. and pavilion. will have this

and it is expected to prove as popular
in the future as in the past seasons.
There will not be as many special
entertainments there this summer as
there were last, because the street
railway company claims to have new

prices and many tickets to the park

big CIRCUS IS COMING
TO STAY FOR TWO DAYS
Advance Agent of tire Forepaush-Selis
Circus Was Here Yesterday and Ar.
ranged to Show June 15-Will Sun
day in This City.

After caroming all around Rich
mond for these many days, and just
when everybody had given up hope
that the city would be hit, Richmond
at last finds itself in the orbit of a
circus. There was a far-off sniff OF
sawdust in the air yesterday, when a
dapper-looking gentleman stepped off a
Pennsylvania train and proce eded to
do a little business in quick order with
the city officials, and others who must
be seen first when a circus comes to
town.
The advance man, for such was this
individual, gave out the joyful news
that the Forepaugh-Sells circus will be
in Richmond, Monday, June IS. Even
more joyful to the small boy is the
announcement that the great tented
aggregation will Sunday in Richmond,
thus giving two full days of unalloy-
ed pleasure. The first advance bill
car will reach Richmond in about ten
days.
