And she had leaonl Her hat fell over one ear, her hack hair all. but, fame on, her Jacket wildly Hipped in the bieere, hIio toro her dies, she put her foot in a mud-hole. No one would ever luivo guessed that (he was once n respeo'ed ineniher of society In n small country town called Lin coln. The boy stumbled ilnd full; It proved his Waterloo, for to avoid tho crowd ho had to ilmt down n cellar way wheio lie win liu mediately captured. They then all pro ceeded oil their way to tho court house across tho street. 801110 Rjiiipntlilzliig man mer inured "what hnvo you done, poor girl," and was nnswei ed by a stony stare, at which ho sighed and shook his head saying 'Hanlenol Ciimlnnl." On arriving Iwforo tho magis trate the loy declured he win after tho boy himself, mid careful search failed to reveal tho stolen purse. "Chicago" never wavered, ho knew that boy, she would know that funny Irish little faco any place mid she stood her ground. Tho place was crowded with men, not n woman in sight. The "dearest gill' was probably standing 011 the corner thinking "Chicago" had suddenly gone ci my nnd tr'ed to commit sulcido by dodging under horses hoofs and in front of cable dim. One pohceni'in said "Gee! but tho young woman made good time, sho bale 1110." Tho police recognized the small boy as one who had la-en sent to 11 hou'e of correc tion but two weeks ago. They treated him so roughly that "Chicago's" stony If) hem t melted and taking tho small boy to one s de she told him with tears In her eyes that she was soiry she caught him. Keally shs was She was poor, very poor herself or she would not have run after him It broke Ills little heait and he sobbed "Oh lady! lady! if yo'll only git me oir I'll git you money slime, I will." And slio tried to "git him oir," but failed Ignom'nlously. Whl'e she was giving her naiue and address, n stir was heal tint tho door and 11 little muflled cry and n ru-.li, and lie fore she know It there was the "dearest girl" with her arms mound her. Bhe had run after "Chicago" and her attend ant crowd, down alleys, but had finally lost track of her. Helng directed to the court liou-o by some gentleman who had witness! tho wholo proceeding, ho pushed her way past three policemen, all of whom objected to her entering the room where her friend was. She simply s.ild "I guess I will" "I KUess I will." Was "Chicago" glad to see her think you She certainly appreciated tier "dearest girl's' devotion, for It meant MinotliliiR lor her to iuii six blocks in tho heart of Chicago, as she has lived here more years than "Chicago"' has months. They were allowed to depart being told that a con stable would present himself at Ave, if anything was heard of the missing prop erty. "Chicago" wondered vaguely if it would Include 11 ride in the i itrol. She was summoned to Identify her pocket book Tues day morning, nnd did mi, falling however, to Identify six dollars that seemed to have di&at pe "ed. Whether tholwy got It ns he la 1 or whether tho man who found it in the base ment of the Tacoina building, where tho boy had thrown It when he siw capture nheail or him appropriated it ns his reward for return ing n ten cent purse nnd .'1 8 will ever ro main n mjhteiy. At iiIiib o'clock she and her "dearest girl's" employer, who Is a noted lawyer, appeared against tho lioy in "police couit." She was persuaded into it, because the boy was a member of an organized gang of thieves nnd for such she was convinced tho reform school vns the place. She made .quite 11 fool of herself however, by inslstfiu on holding the oor little fellow's hand, (he was sobbing bitterly) and allowing tears to .roll down her faco II the time she testified The judge smiled in a hard cynical way and assured her tint syinpalliy was wasted on such m gamin, but she could not help it. She did feel as if she had gotten the txiy Into a icrape nnd not he himself, He was bound over, and it yet remain ta be men whether she will ever again stand at the bar of justice accuse hardened little wretclf who says he Is thirteen, but who looks not 11 day over ten years of age. Since I have lieen hero I have had n sort of desire to roe how the "other half'' lived. I raw but too wll. They do not live at all, my heart went out to the degraded men and shameless fallen women, black and white who crowded that foul court that morning, -cursing, swearing, pleading, fighting, and looking at us as if they realized tho bitter, hitter distance there was between our social positions, and I do not pretend to occupy any but a very humble place indeed. I wish you might have been here to have witnessed n ridiculous disaster Sunday last. It wan at Lincoln Park, and was enjoyed by thousands of pleasure seekers. The scene was the little lake which is only about four feet deep, and the (Intimitis jier.wiuic were ten Swedes; six children, two men and two women. They were taking mi exciting bout ride in one of what they call the "Sunn Bents." Seats are arranged one behind tho other to mvotumodnto about sixteen people, uud the manager sits in tho brow and luns the (mildUs with foot treadles. When nicely in the middle of the lake the Swan suddenly turned over, ditto tho ten Swedes. Four young men sacrillctsl tour epilog mils and saved the little children, who were the only . ones who were iu any danger, livery one tried to get 11 front seat to siu the fun nhci) tho husliands of tho two women began to try to persuado them to bo helped on shore, I tuppose they knew their apK-nrance would not la prepossessing nnd it took some tlmo t tow them to shore, their dresses cling lug to them in "KHa Wheeler Wilcox" draperies, and their spring hats, feeble, chattering, faded wrecks of their former selves.

Iu fact r.lie cnu wonr just what hho feels like wenring and no body can wiy any thing. And bet ter Mill, who can "niiiko over" and wear n luM j'enr's gown without being nociiilly tubooed. A nent and pretty way to iniiko a va riety in costume is to luivo 11 sleeveless Russian jacket of black velvet, lined also with black, and this to be worn over any drese, with a pointed velvet ribbon belt with long loops uud ends iu the back, and with one of tho new crajie and lace jabots about the neck. This makes the iduinest gown look dressy nml neat, and as waists are apt to look worn while tho skirt are still fresh, it hides the im perfection in a practical milliner. I am not unite sure that I mentioned that a fashionable uethol of trimming skirts just now is to have a puffing of velvet or some other material, either 11 good match or suitable contrast, around the bottom of the skirt, and where tho skirt Miows signs of wear this hides tho place. Foot trimming has not lieen used very generally for a long time, but now is quite the thing, particularly on tho lighter fabrics iu use for warm weather. This is really necessary for a proper hang of the skirt. I give two new ami beautiful costumes for warm weather suitable for almost any ordinary use. That one on the right is of the delicate mushroom pink, with sprays of wild violets, and is finished at tho bottom with a narrow ruffle, The corsage is plain, with a fichu of white laco and pufFod sleeves. Tho jacket wrap is very elegant and is peculiarly suited to ladies of twenty live to fifty years of age, and will be adapted for the street, church or visit ing. The body is of heavy faille, trimmed with dull jet passementerie, and all trimmed with a rich fall of Spanish lace. Tho rut! at the neck can We lined with white or colored satin, or 1m) ull black. Tho lxmnet is of black laco with a tiny feather. The other gown is also adapted to many requirement and is of tan cash mere, self trimmed with pinked ruf fles. Tho vest is of white pique with gold buttons. A pinked capo of light cloth to watch would lie pretty for this. M BRILLIANT YOUNG AUTHORS.
