They certainly are, but sometime*
they are quaint. I saw a wonderful
character this week. Even though
I have never been introduced to her,
1 have heard of her and her kind
lines*. When I first saw her she was
tightening the rag she had tied
around her waist to hold up the
trouser* of the man’* suit, which she
wore. Her long hose had been pulled
up over the trouaerleg* and secured
with strip* of rag*. The sleeve* of
the coat of the heavy brown suit ex
tended several inches below the
shorter sleeves of the faded, blue silk
dress she wore over it. Thia unique
enesmble was completed with heavy
boots and a wide-brimmed straw hat.
Out of this grotesqueness came a low,
soft voice and a thin, white, frail
looking face. When I saw her in a
grocery store later in the day, I
couldn’t refrain from watching her
courteous,
well-bred manner
of
’ speaking to other*. I do sincerely
hope I »hall find out some day what
it is that has caused this bundle of
human possibilities to turn from the
habits of recognized civilization to
become a lonely, misunderstood char
acter set apart from the rest of us
with our own eccentricities. The first
impulse of repulsion was stayed, by
my remembering, “There but for the
