Peered at them, as they passed,
While she viewed herself in mirror.
Before which many brides danced.

Stood an old mahogany bureau,
Smelling of rose leaves and must

She opened the upper drawers, in turn
And exclaimed. at the silks, and
laces,
But when into the middle one she
looked
A change came DER their faces
There were dainty shoes of every hue
And tiny stockings of lace.
Little bibs and sacques and dresses,
Causing tears to roll down her face
For on each and every article
She found the name of the little one
Who last wore the treasured dainty
And from mothers arms had flown
In the heart of each fond mother
There's middle bureau drawer,
Where reposes dainty treasures,
Some of them worn and tore.
Little shoes, all soiled and worn at the

Little bibs, all stained and wet.
But there aren't any treasures like
them,
At least I've not found them yet.

The Feminine Revolt.

The relation between the cost OF llV-
ing and the activity in the issuance of
marriage licenses is recognized as inti-
mate, even though the economists may
not be able to express the subtle fact
in a mathematical formula. But there
can Be no doubt that Cupid keeps an
eve on the market prices of provision,
even though he may have little use for
the tailor,
There can be no doubt that this
sprightly promoter of felicity has
abandoned the old fallacy, enticing
but illusory, that two persons can live
Just as cheaply as can one, Perhaps
that untruth in domestic mathematics
took form at time when girls we're
different in some material respects
from the maidens Of to-day. 1t was
once the fad that they should be deli
cate, without appetite, taking food
after the manner of birds. with amaze
mic results. They were more fond OF
cakes and sweetmeats th1m of prosaie
bread, potatoes and roist beef: In
those days there might be more econ
omy in the feminine menu. But the
girl Of to-day IA brought up to be
buxom and robust. There has been
reaction. both sensible and wide
spread. She takes proper pride in her
appetite and in her muscles. which
she has learned are not at all incon-
sistent with gentle sentiment She
emulates her bothers in fondness for
the open air and for suitable athletics.
There IA no longer any reason for
her sentiraal semistarvation. If she
likes a ballad to her eyebrow, she is
ready also for a lobster after the
opera. She may approve of kisses
from the one right man. but he must
also be able to provide menu more
extended than bread and cheese.
Hence the normal and active feminine
interest in the revolt against high
prices in the market place. Washing
