'Guess," "Jerry Morgan?" "Alfred Johns?" Mr. Ormos?" "No, it's tho now Principal or our Academy Pnul Alnsly." "Lucky ho didn't ftsk for mo, what did you toll Mm?" queried Joo." "I told him that Ml. Emma was cngapod, hut would ho in presently. Now Km, go nnd got that ridiculous rig ofT, whilo I go nnd ontortnin tho Profeu aor." Tlio girls ran up Btalrs, whilo Hattlo started for tho parlor. "Isay, Hattiol" "Well what is it Joo?" "Bring him in hero, nnd introduco me ns Grandma Wilder.' I'll he n llttlo deaf; lot down that curtain and ho'll novor suspect; Oh, won't It ho fun I" "Hut Joo-" "Oli, yes, do Hattlo." ' Well." "Hattlo crossed tho hall and entered tho parlor, saying: "Tho parlor's qulto chilly, won't you como Into tho Library whero there's a good flro? thoro'a no ono ono la thoro hutold Grandma Wilder," he aroso and nccoptlng hor Invitation they entered tho library. "Gra'-'dma, this Is Professor Alnsly," said Hattlo in a loud volco. "How d'yo do MIstor Alnsly? 'scuso my risin', I,vo got tho rhoumatl.; aro yo troubled with tho rhcumatlz, Mr. Alnsly?" That gontloman colored nnd said with a faint smllo, that ho thought ho was rathoryoungtoho troubled with that disease. "Aro yo married Mister Alnsly?" "NoMadamo;" "Aha! an olo bach hoy?" (with n Hhrlll laugh) "My grandaughtors will hosottin' their caps fur you, though I don'no 'bout Josephine, she's most too young, boln' only fifteen." ThoHchool teacher said nothing, hut ho thought: " What a garrulous old lady I but I'm glad I found out that lovely mischiefs ego, how I wish she woro older, I'm thlrty-ono now." " Hattlo I hoar Emma a comln' down utalrs, wish you'd go an toll hor to bring my black shawl." Hattlo was nearly choked with laugh ter nt Joo's clover acting and shrill voice, so gladly loft tho room, nnd meet ing both girls (Georgia still woro her dandy suit) told thorn of Joo's mischief, which caused a merry peal of laughter' then they heard Joo say: "Law sakes, jost hear them gals larfl young critters Ilko thorn aro bo hnppy liko; seems to nn I'd liko to bo young agin onct more." Thoy didn't hear tho Professor's an swer, and Hattlo and Emma entered tho library. Georgia whispering: " I'll ring tho boll, and some of you must present mo as: 'Augustus D Orme'." Accordingly when thoy had seated themselves and Emma had Just got in to an interesting conversation, on tho latest book, with tho handsome Paul, thoro wnsn loud peal of tho bell, caus ing "Graudma" to stnrt out of a seem ing nap ann exclaim: " La Fakes who may that bei" " Hattlo dropped her worsted, nnd obeying tlio summons, soon reappeared with Georgia, whom sho introduced to Mr. Alnsly. Up wont tho eyo-glnssos, and dainty lingers were tipped out to that gentleman, while sho said: " Aw how doyo i oaw Mihtouw Alns ly, iraniul to foo you." Then followed a short conversation and after a ilftceu minutocall " Augus tus" rose and after expressing his (her) " wegwots " that Mls3 Josio was not-at home, went over to that young lady and assuring hor of hor devoted lovo and begging her to call boforo long, kissed her hand, nnd bade them "good afternoon.1' "Grandma" was taken with it violent fit of coughing, nnd fee bly requested Emma to assist her up stairs. Metninks tho Professor would havo opened his eyes hnd ho beheld "poor foeblo grandma" chasing Mr. Augustus around, in tho upper hall, ami Miss Emma sittlug helplessly in a chair convulsed with laughter. Pre sently sho returned to her trailer, and oxcuhlng Hattlo at her owu request, thoy onco moro resumed their conver sation on lKoks. Whon ut last Professor Alnsly bade Miss Wilder good ovening, as ho pass ed in tlio hall to got his hat and um brella, ho noticed a cane, u pair of gloves, and u lint, that looked suspi ciously Hko thoso worn by "Mr. D' Ormo. Ho stopped a momont and heard some ono say: "Oh, Joel 1'vo lost my eyeglasses, do you supposo I left thorn in tho hall with my gloves?" Ho took up ono of tho gloves, and b.iw "Miss Georgia Ames" inscribed on tho inside, withindeliblo ink; thou turning to lenvo tho hall, ho heard that young litdy laugh merrily and say: " Oh, Joo! don't you think I can en act tho 'dandy' to perfection?" "I think you can," laughed lie to himself, an J ho laughed all tho way home, and whenovor ho thought of Georgia. That young lady, und Emma Wilder hnd not yet finished their ed ucation, nnd on Mondays and Thurs days went to tho academy to rcclto tholr lessons. Tho day following tho girls masquerade, tho Principal walked to tho academy, still thinking of Geor gia's acting, and hor farewell to Grand ma Wildor camo to his mind, this thought struck him: "Either Grandma know that 'Augus tus ' was not what ho t-'ccmcd to bo," or else she was also acting; was it possi h!o?yos shs did resomblo Joe;" and ho walked to his do.sk puzzled yot re solving to sift tho matter thoroughly. After prayers ho went around to Em ma nnd Georgia who sat together. " Did you solvo that problem Miss Ames?" " Yes sir, I had no troublo with It." "Ah I I'm pleased of your muccos?, I havo a question for you that puzzles mo considerably but you, I think can answer it without any trouble." Georgia's oyes drooped uudor tho steady searching gnzo. "Iwondorlfho does su poet mo?" sho thoughtqulctly. Ho turned to her companion. "Did you havo good success with your oxnmplos Miss Emma?" , "Soma wore qulto easy, but Cousin Joo helped mo with tho others." " Ah! your cousin is farthor advanced than you!" ho remarked pleasantly. 'Oh, yes! sho graduated threo yoars ago." "Sho must havo boon qulto young;" "No, sho was eighteen," returned Emma iunocontly. Ho only asked ono moro question, watching her faco close ly: "How Is Garndnm Wilder, this morning?" Georgia's suddenly busy fingors on her slate, and Emma's blush, und tho look of merriment that stole into her oyes as sho answered: "She's quito well thank you;" helped to confirm his suspicions. That ovnnlug Joo received a noto from him, asking permission to accompany hor to a concert, to bo given tlio next evening. " Will you go?" naked the girls. "I don't know, do you supposo ho'd think ho was condescending any?" "No, of course not!" " Well, I'll go then if Mamma's will ing." Of course "Mamma" was will ing that Joo should go with tho haud- Homo well oil 1'rorossor; no was so gravo and gentlemanly, nho would not bo likely to get Into mischief if ho woro with hor; k Joo wrote and accepting tho note, tho following ovoning found her walking detnurelv by Mr. Ains- Iy'.s side, clapping his arm lightly with her llttlo gloved hand. " jiow'.s uranuma tnis evening?" no queried, in tho course of tho walk. "She's well," replied Joe, exulting in tho thought of having acted so clev erly, but at his nest words she felt n llttlo alarmed. You aro about the .sumo height aro you not?" "I bellevo wo nre." " Your resetnblanco la npparent, I think you aro only a younger image,'' " I .vas not a. ware that wo looked alike, you mmt think that I am very old." " Indeed you look quite young, and I always supposed you qulto young 'till a llttlo bird tol2 mo your exact ago " Joo adroitly changed tho subject. As they returned from tho concert, sho found herself thinking how very agreeablo ho was, and she didn't know that ho could bo so witty and entertain ing. Always boforo ho had Joeen sar castic, and critical and so very proper that she had boon oven more mischiev ous and childish than she really was; but to-night sho was a huly, he a gen tleman, and thus her enjoyment. "Havo you enjoyed the evening?" ho queried, as ho bade her good night, at the gate. "Yes, very much." 'Mhv T lirviittimnv win tn oIiiickIi. Sunday ovening?" "Certainly, another good night, und sho tun up tJ her room whero Emma sat reading. "Had a good time?" "Yes, ho Isn't so stupid as 1 thought; nnd Emma, do you supposo thut ho sus pects mo of being 'Grandma' tho other day?" 4'I don't think ho does. Why .Too? Sho related tho conversation of tho early part of tho ovening. Emma lis tened attentively, nnd then told her what ho had said to Gcotgia tho pre vious day. They hnd a long conversa tion nnd decided to go to Hattlo and Georgia and ask thorn about it. Tho couuboI of four decided to tell Mr Alns ly that 'Grandma' had gono and 'Au gustus' accompanied her, 'and thus put an end to pollto questions. Sunday eve ning when Professor Paul called for Miss Josle, ho put tlio following query: "How's Grandma WildorV health this ovoning?" "Oh ! she's gono homo and that young fop Augustus D'Ormo went with her," said Emma with a smile. "Yes, nnd wo all mlssGrandnu" said Joo as sho drow on hor gloves. "I am ready Mr. Alnsly," and on tho walk to n id from church Jos was so en gaging that Paul novor onco thought of Grandma Wildor, or any other Grand ma. A low weoks lator tho PrlncI pal of tho Academy overheard n con versation which sorved to fill (111 all of his suspicions. It happoned in this wise: Emma Wilder was going to glvo a parly on hor eighteenth birthday, und a couple of days previous the girls woro gathered around tho stovo dis cussing tho coming ovont. "Aro you going to have charades?" asked one, 'Yes, Joe got up n sploudid ono onco nnd wo were acting it whon wo had a caller. Joo nnd Georgia romnincd drc.ssod up nnd ho novor recognized them, wo don't want him to find it out or they'd net it again," said Emma. "Oho! who was tho caller, laughed sovoral, hut tho girls wouldn't tell. Hut Mr. Alnsly overheard tho con versation, and wrote tho following noto to Joe. "llurton Academy, Sept Dkah Litti.k Jok; I thought that you woro prcsont when I called on your comlu one day not long kIlco; but your iHhimiIho win so complete that I was not sure until tt-tUy.

"Joo whoro'd you got Hint ring" usk cd Hattlo tho next day. ."Hattlo dear, Grandma Wilder alias Joo W. Is going to marry Paul Alnsly noxt Christmas." And sho did. The American Woman of To-Day. American woman tako vastV bettor earo of themselves than lormerly. Thoy havo more acqualntanco with hy gienic laws, nnd hold them In far higher esteem. Tho duys whon they exposed themselves to dampness and wintry cold in thin slippers und silk stockings; when theynbstuiued from flannels next the skin; when they pinched their waists to 6eml-hUfTocatIon; when they sacrificed comfort and health to what they concolved to ho appearances thoao fool Mi and unhappy days havo go 10 forever, and havo barely boon known to tlio rUlng generation. Our women now havo few mawkish and morbid notions us to themselves; thoy no longer think that to bo unhealthy is to bo attractive; that invalidism nnd Intero.stingncss nro synonymous; thut Imlo faces and compressed lungs nro to lensof beauty. They dress seasonably; thoy wear thick bootn and warm clothes in had and cold weather; thoy allow themselves to breathe freely, and they find their looks improved, not injured, by tho wholesome change. Thero nro exceptions, many of them doubtless. and tho exceptions aro constantly di minishing. It may bo eafoly said that alt sonslblo women uro becoming, If I they havo not heroine, converts to na ture, ami they heed her behests, recog nizing tho grc&t principle that what is not natural cannot bo beautiful. Llttlo moro than a quarter of a cen tury ago young American women wore ashamed to show a hearty apictito lu public. They woro Infoued with tho Byronic philosophy; they wanted to be spiritual as if all true spirituality did not rest on some sound physical condi tionsand to look elegantly wretched, many of them had hall' their wMi; they looked wivlchod, hut not doirunt. Thoy woro charged with drinking vin egar, eating sluto pencils und commit tlngotlu'riiioiiitrousnbsurditlos. They may havo lx'en uuju-tly accused, but their theories warrant tli accusation. All uch nonsonfeo belongs to tho past. American women to-day oat as much as thov want, and noro wholesome food than thov onco ate: they wnlk more; court theopen air; cultivnto their oodles as wen ns tneir minus; oonovo in perfect digestion, unbroken sleep, tho glow and glory of unblemished healih. No wonder their proportions aro fuller, their cheeks moro blooming, their eyes brighter, their step moro clas tic. The growth of tho country and their own cumin on sense uro serving them generously. Tho scrawny, sallow, neaked woman, if sho be educated und fairly placed, will erj long eou'-o to bo the typo of tho miiKiio aged American woman. Witn tho steady dovelopementof tho repub lic, tho Incieasedeaseof circumstances, und their compluto health, American women will ho comelier and rounder, as they are comelier and rounder now than thoy havo been. External and Internal conditions assure tills. They aro not likely to become gross and obese, as so many of tneir European sisters are; tho character of the country, Its institutions, und its atmosphere, with tholr owu temperament, will preserve them from that. J Tapper's J iaznr. BUEVITIES. An exchange says: "Girls, if you know how men disliked slovenliness in women, you would keep yourselves as neat as wax all thu time." Aro men worth taking all that troublo for?" Tho most trivial circumstances uro nblo to put an end to our gratlllcations; they uro liko beds of roses; whero it is very unlikely nil tho leaves should bo smooth, and oven ono thut is doubled sulllces to make us uncomfortable. Ono Sunday night wo woro sitting out m tho moonlight, unusually silent almost sad. Suddenly somo ono a poetical looking man, with a gentlo loving faco said in a low toio: "Did you over think ol thu beautiful lesson tho stars teach us?" Wo gave u vague, appreciative murmur, but some soulless clod said: " No; what Is It?" " How to wink," ho answered, In a sad, swout voice.
