ONCE since Miss Larrabee left, but
they do not seem to get the work done
with any system. She was not only
industrious but practical. Friday
mornings, when her work piled up, in
stead Of fussing around the Office and
chattering at the telephone. she would
dive into her desk and bring up her
regular list OF adjectives. These she
would copy on three slips, carefully
dividing the list so that no one had a
duplicate, and in the afternoon each Of
the boys received q slip with a list OF
parties. and with instructions to scat-
ter the ~adiectives she had given him
through the accounts of the parties
assigned TO him-and the work was
soon done. There was no scratching
the head for synonyms for beautiful,
superb or elegant Miss Larrabee
had doled out 10 each of US the adjec-
tiYes necessary, and. given the ad-
jectives, society reporting is easy. The
editing Of the copy is easy also, for
one does not have to remember vheth-
er or not the refreshments were de
liciOus' al the Jones party when he
sees the word in connection with the
viands at the Smith party. No two
parties were ever elegant" the same
week. No TWO events were charming.
No two women were "exquisitely'
gowned. The person who was assigned
the adjective delightful" by Miss Lar
rabee might stick IL In front Of a
luncheon. pin il on a hostess, or use
il for an evenings entertainment.
But he could use it only once. And
with a list of those present and the
adjectives %thereunto appertaining, even
a boy could get up a column in half
an hour. She had an artists pride in
the finished work, however much she
might dislike the thing in making, and
she used 10 sail down to the press-room
as soon as the paper was out, and,
picking up the paper from the folder,
she would stand reading her page, line
upon line, preeept upon precept,
though every word and syllable was
familiar TO her.
During her first year she joined the
Woman's State Press club, but she dis
covered that she was the only real
worker in the club and never attended
a second meeting. She told US that

most Of the IN make a party gown
last two or three years. Miss LARA
bee was familiar with every dress in
town. She knew it made over, and no
woman was cunning enough to conceal
the truth even with a spangled yoke,
8 chiffon bertha, or a net ~oyerdreSs !;
vet Miss Larrabee would describe the
gown, not merely twice, but half a
dozen times, so that the woman wear
ing 1t might send the description 10
ner relatives back East without arous-
ing their suspicion that she was wear
ing the same dress year after year.
Therefore, whenever Miss Larrabee
wrote up the dresses worn at a party,
we were sure to sell from fifty to a
hundred extra papers. She could so turn
a breastpin and a homemade point
lace handkerchief tucked in the front
Of a good old lady's best black satin
into "point-lace and diamonds" that
they we're always good for a dozen
copies of the paper, and she never
overlooked the dress of the wife of a
good advertiser, no matter how plain
it might be.
She was worth her wages TO the
office merely as a compendium OF
shams. She knew whether the bridal
couple, who announced that they would
spend their honeymoon in the East,
were really going to Niagara Falls, or
whether they were going TO spend a
week with his relatives in Decatur,
III. She knew every woman in town
who bought two prizes for her whist
party-one to give if her friend should
win the prize, and another to give IL
the woman she hated should win.
With the diabolical eye of a hend she
detected the woman who was wearing
the dry-cleaned cast-off clothing OF her
sister in the city. What she saw the
office knew, though she kept her con-
clusions out of the paper If they
would do any harm or hurt anyone's
feelings. No pretender ever dreamed
that she was no fooling Miss LARA
bee. She was willing TO agree most
svmpathetica!ly with Mrs. Conklin who
that the common people
wouldn't be interested in the list of
names at her party; and the only place
where we ever saw Miss Larrabee's
claw in print was in the insistent mis-
smelling of the name of Il woman who
had made it a point to ridicule the
paper.

The Constitution provides that a
representative most have attained the
age of tw twenty-five. have been a citizen
of the United States for seven years
and shall be an inhabitant of the
state in which he is elected. There is
no law specifying that a representa-

he represents, although it is very I'M
usual for a district to elect a repre-
sentative residing in another district.
1t is done occasionally in New York

siYe ring ceremony" When she wrote:
The distinguished company came
forward to offer congratulations to the
n~ewly-wedded pair" she would say
as she sharpered her peneil-point:
There's nothing like a wedding TO
reveal what IA raft OF common kin peO-
pie have" and we knew that ii was
all over and that she was closing the
article with; a dazzling array Of
costly and beautiful presents was ex-
hibited in the library" for then she
would pick up her copy, dog-ear the
sheets, and jab them on the hook as
she sighed: Another great American
p~ickle-dlsh exhibit ended"
In the way she did two things Miss
Larrabee excited he wonder and ad-
miration Of the oftce. one was the
way that she kept tab on brides
We heard through her Of the brides
who could cook. and of those who were
beginning life by accommodating a
bright little pile Of tin cans in the
alley. She knew the brides who could
do their own sewing and those who
could not. She had the single girls
sniff at the bride who wore her trOus-
seau season after season, made over
and fixed up, and she gave the Office
the benefit of her opinion of the hus-
band in the case who had a new tailor
made suit every fall and spring. She
scented young married troubles from
afar, and we knew in the office wheth-
er his folks we're edging upon her, or
her people were edging upon him. If
a young married man danced more
than twice in n evening with anyone
but his wife, Miss Larrabee made faces
at his back when he passed the office
window, and if she caught a young
married woman flirting, Miss Larrabee
RECALLED US by telling with whom the
woman in question had opened a
fresh bottle of emotions"
The other way in which Miss LARA
bee displayed genius for her work was
in describing women's costumes. Three
Of four times a year, when there are
large social gatherings. we print de
scriptions of the woman's gowns. Only
three women in our town, Mrs. Worth
ington, Mrs. Conklin, and the second
Mrs. Markley, have more than one new
party dress in a twelve-month, and
