11 was in the concert room. The assembled ladies and gentlemen were awaiting the beginning of the entertainment. Presently a very pretty young woman entered the hall, walked down the uaain aisle, and took her seat near the front row. "By Georgel" exclaimed a young man; "that's a mighty pretty girl!" "Perfect masher,' said his f riend sententiously. "Did you see how ahelooked at me?" asked the first. 'At youl" replied his apigrammatic friend. "Didn't I catch her eye three times?" "A pretty dress-pattern," observed a lady. "But did you notice how awfully it hung?" asked a second fair critic. "Blue and green!" sneered a third ; "splendid taste!" "She's got nice hair," rernarked Mr. A. "Wonder how inueh of it is herown," responded his wife. "That dress must have coat as much as $4 a yard," was the commont of a young lady in tne next seat. "For my part I don't see what i'olks want to rigout so at concert," said the young lady's mother ; "nobody would do it that was anybody." 'Why, ma," replied the daughter, "I think she's just splendid. I wista I had a dress just like it." "She'a got a homely nose." remarked a lady with a nasal appendage like a knife. "I always notice noses, you know." "Altogether too tall," was theremark of Mr. B., a perfect dump of a woman, by the way. "A beautiful complexion," remarked Mr-. C. ; "clear red and white." "Humph! That's easy enougta," said Mrs. C, exchanging with her female friend a pitying smile at her lord and tnaster's simplicity. "1 wonder how old she is," said a lady across the aisle. "Not a day under 25," was the reply from her interlocutor. "Twenty-five!" was the contemptuous comment of the other. -'She will never see 30 again. Who wouldn't look young with all that rigging on ?" It is just possible that the speaker thought that she herself would look young with "that rigging" od; but it did not seem possible to an unprejudiced observer. "She'sabrazen-faced thing, anyway," said a woman in one of the back seats. "Prancing way down front, just to show her ünery!" "Did you see that hat?" asked a young lady, decked out in fiaunty headgear. "All the color3 of the rainbow." "Who is she, I wonder?" asked an inquisitive lady. "I don't know," was the reply; "nobody in particular, I guess. She's not one of our set." A.t this juncture the niusic began, and what other commentaries were pased upon the young woman were lost in the jangling of sweet sounds. But wasn't it kind in her to give so many good people something to talk about?
