Her Ambition.

This incident was told by an ac-
tress who was once playing Rosa
lind, and playing it, as she fancied,
rather acceptably. AS she entered her
dressing room at the theater one night
a note from a woman was handed to
her which read in this wise:
"Dere lady l work for dentist but
I have spoiled so many Of his teeth
saying over your part in the play that
now | can say it just as we'll as you
do, and I want you to let me try it
tonight and see if | can't for the den

Visiting Cards.

There Is much doubt existing as to
young unmarried women having Wis
iting cards Of their own.
In the most formal social circles q
girl never has visiting card OF her
own. To do so argues one Of three
things. either that she Has adopted a
profession and is in business, has be-
come an old maid or Is of definitely
independent character. Yet there Is a
difficulty In defining the age when a
girl may have her own card. One girl
becomes the mature woman while an
other of the same age may be still the
ingenue at 80.
Circumstances are frequently such
as to decide for girl; character also
has much to do in the matter, as now
adays young women of what may be
termed higher positions strike out in
dependently, writing, painting, pro-
fessional nursing, etc, which entities
them to visiting cards of their own.
But If the single woman has mother
upon whose card her name may APP
pear this flag Ct freedom should not
be waved too early-not before ss,
anyway.

RECORDS CHARGE THAT
WASHINGTON TOLD LIE

wheeled vehicle"
Washington was in good company,
the presentment also naming George
William Fairfax, William Mason and
number of other distinguished gentle
men Of the day. At that time in the
colony Of Virginia two methods were
in vogue for taxing property, both
personal and real. Either the assessor
was permitted to make the list or the
subject under oath submitted a list
AS the presentment was returned
against George Washington, 1t is evil
dent that he made oath to the list of
his property and failed to include "a
wheeled carriage" of which he was
possessed.
Washington, not being indicted,
shows that the grand jury acted upon
its own initiative, because had the
matter been called to their attention
by the prosecutor for the colony an in
dictment would have been returned.
There is only one volume of the rec
ords of that time, and it does not
show what became of the presentment
Whether Washington was tried will
not be known unless some veteran
of McDowells command, directly or
through an heir, returns the volumes
