The H0ppers.

From the Ohio State Journal.
There were two girls. or rather young
ladies, walking out Broad, escorted by
two young men. They were fascinating
creatures. that is, the girls were, and
chirrupted like a lot Of sparrows in the
ivy vines. But they carried on the bird
act in a more visible way. for part OF
their graceful raiment. were the narrow
skirts in hobble proportions. and when
they reached a street crossing they
stopped. and with the most birdlike mo-
ton. they hoped across the gutter.
Now. whether to regard this little scene
as a part of the great transition Of hu-
man affairs, In which woman Is to take
on a new order Of being, or as an effort
to attract attention and make one seem
stylish. We could hardly say. but that
little hop seemed ridiculously pretty for
the time being. and yet one could hardly
get himself out Of the notion that those
dear girls were q little loud. One thing
was noticeable-the young men didn't
help them over the gutter: they got over
themselves.
