Two Sweet Girls.

Two girl-friends sat together on the sofa with their arms aronnd each other’s waists. The head of one reposed upon she shoulder of the other. “You tell me my faults and I will tell yon yours,” said Mabel, slipping a caramel into her rosy mouth. “You haven’t a fault in the world,” said Katie, chewing on a marsh-mallow. “That’s too sweet,” murmured Mabel, referring to her friend and not to the oandy. “I know I’m just full of faults, and I want yon to tell me so I can correct them. Now what do you think is my worst one?” “Well, dear, since yon ask me—-now mind you are to tell m? all of mine, too —I think you are —you are sure you won’t be vexed at it?--just a little proud!” said Katie. “Proud 1 n’m—l am sure I don’t know how any one can call me proud!” pursued Mabel. . “Well, dear, yod asked me to tell you your greatest fault, now you tell me mine; I know I’ve got one, you see,” and Katie leaned carelessly on her friend, who straightened up. “ Oh, I suppose we all have faults, and, if I must tell yours, it is that you are just the least little bit selfish, my dear.” “Selfish! mo selfish?” ejaculated Katie, regardless of her syntax; “well, I must say you’re a very disagreeable gild, Mabel!” “Thank you, Miss! when I tell you anything for your own good again. I’d like to know it, that’s all.” “Oh, you had better practice on improving yourself. I’m sure I wish you a very good morning,” and the two who had been aH one flounced out at separate doors and h ive not spoken since. A Cincinnati society reporter has mysteriously disappeared, and foul play is suspected, although it is possible thqt he is hiding somewhere in the Rocky mountains, as he was well supplied with railroad passes. His last art cle was an account of the marriage of a pork-packer’s daughter, in which report he used the term “swell wedding.” It oame out in the papers “swill wedding.” —Philadelphia News.
