While I waited for a 14th Street crosstown car this morning I ob served that the girl who appeared to be waiting for the same green one was rather unusually pretty. All the girls in this part of New York are good looking, but this one was a perfect little peach. I envied the young fellow who approached, lifted his hat, called her by her first name and said “Good morning.” She greeted him quite as pleasantly. The envy that surged within me as they chatted together was, I realize now on sober refiection, most grievously sinful. * * * The car came along and I followed them In. She marched straight past the fare box without giving it a tumble and took aweat. He dropped ONE nickle in the glass-works and followed. I trailed. “Miss,” bawled the conductor, “will you PLEASE pay your fare?” She arose, walked back to the box and gave up 5 cents. She returned and sat down again. The young fellow was as pink as the rosy red cheeks of a baby. At the next corner he mumbled something and hurried out and off—‘'imothy Keating, No. 257 West 10th Street. FIRST CLASS IN ‘RITHMETIO,.)

I saw a poorly clad woman in the Domestic Relations Court in Brooklyn to-day with three small girls, one about three, one perhaps two years old and the other a babe in arms.
