when congress no losger assembled
there, and New York began to dispute
the social prestige of the Quaker city.
A celebrated Philadelphia bel of the
Gay, Miss Franks, writes of a visit made
in the rival city, and her quaint de-
scriptions of New York society were
probably colored by jealousy for home
supremacy.
The letter, whieh: is a possession of
a Brooklyn woman, a.descendant of the
observing writer, says, among other
things: oBy the bye, few ladies here
know how to entertain company in
their own houses, unless they introduce
the card table.. Except the Van Homes,
who are remarkable for theiz good
sensé and ease, I don't know a woman
or. girl who can chat.above half an hour,
and that on the form of « cap, the color
of a ribbon, or the set of a hoop, stay
or jupon. I will do our ladies-that is,

nore properly speaking, in New York"
you enter a room with a formal set
courtesy, and after the howdoTs, things
are finished; allTs a dead calm till the
cards are introduced, when you see
pleasure dancing in the eyes of all the
matrons, and they seem to gain new life.
The maidens, if they have favorite
swains, frequently decline playing, for
the pleasure of making love; for to all
appearance it is the ladies, not the gen-
tlemen, who nowadays show a prefer-
ence, It is here, I fancy, always leap

the cases of most who have been mar-
ried the first atlvances come from the
ladyTs side, or she gota male friend to
introduce the intended victim and pass
her off. This is reallyT the ~case, and

z
But It Was Not the Kind | Bhe oyaa
| For. ae
~Susie Simpkins lives in the little
back-country village of Concordia, but
even in her childhood Susie was con- |
sidered opowerfully smart,� and too
bright a girl to waste her ability in so
small a sphere. As the years passed
and Susie budded into young woman-
hood, this conviction deepened in her
mind, and she longed for the things of}
outside life. She felt that though] |
doomed to be in Concordia, she was not,
of it. Wy
Then she took a queer fancy. She
would have a bicycle, and roam the
country lanes of her neighborhood
in freedom and unrestraint. The city
papers and the illustrated magazines
"penetrated to her rural home, and the
bicycle passion was fanned by éach
scrap of cycling information she pe-
rused. :
One day an eastern paper found its
way into her hands, and an advertise-
ment caught her eye. An offer was
made that to agents who disposed of
three cases of a certain brand of baking
powder a present would be made of a
ladiesT safety, finished in full nickel,
and thoroughly guaranteed for one
year,
The next outgoing mail bore away
an order for the three cases of baking
powder, accompanied by the cash Susie
had been saving for a twelvemonth
back. In the course of a week or 50
the baking powder arrived, but with it
came a letter stating that the safety
had been ordered from the factory, and
owould be somewhat delayed in ship-
ping owing to an unusual demand,
Susie fretted in her impatience, for
she had told the neighborhood of the
safety she was expecting, but still the
safety came not. She haunted the lit-
tle weather-beaten railway station
upon the arrival of every train, express
or freight, in anxious expectation of
her coming treasure.
A fortnight passed, and with its end
came a letter from the baking powder
concern, addressed to Susie Simpkins,
and inclosing one-twelfth of a dozen of
those useful little articles so familiar
in the feminine toilet. It was SusieTs
safety."Bearings. ° 2ie
