THE YOUNGEST BISTER
"I don't know how it is," uroaned
Kato Bleeslngton, "hut in our family
thitipH nlwnjs hnppen cress-grained."
"VVliats tho mattor nowi' f,aul
Georgia, tho eldest Bister, who, with a
bluo apron ol checked domeatio glng
ham tied around her waist, and her
luxuriant llaxen hair confined in a red
bandana pocket handkerchief, was
cooking tomatoes for ketchup.
"Why, hero liavo tuo Morclielus
como to spend tho day, and mamma
has just taken to her no fa with an at
taok of neuralgia, and thero's nobody
on eat th to go to the train to meet thu
city gentlemen, i ou coiiulu t go Geor
gia, leupposel" with a faint gleam of
liopo.
Gcorcia clanccd up at the clock and
shook her head.
"Couldn't iiosaibly," said sho.
"There isn't time to gel ready. Why
don't yon send Peter."
"l'eter, nuleull lies cloainnc tho
cistern out. bnch a liuuro as ho lsl
"Then I'm sure." observed Georcia.
"I don't neo what you aro going to do."
"Uouidn t 1 co, Katel pleatled a
small, sweet voice.
And the suoond Mis Blcssiimton be
came coiiHciUus ol eomo one pulling
Kt'iitly at her eleevo. ohu turned
sharply around. A tall, rosy girl stood
there a ijtrl lust at tho aco whero
"brook and river meet," half ohild,
half woman, but infinitely pretty in
both of her personalities. Sunburned,
dark-eyed, clad in an outgrown cotton
frock, and with her hair braided into
ono long, gold-gleaming queuo behind,
sho stood there, with an imploring
laco.
"A cood ideal" said Georcia. tastinc
of tho bubbling scarlet mass in thu
kettle, and adding a trillo mora red
pepper. "Let Chrisoy go?"
"But Chiissy can't drive."
"Oh, yes, I canl" urged Christine,
tho youmrettt and least presentable of
all the Blessingtons. "I drovo old
Jcnks up from the farm yesterday with
a load of oabbage. l'vo often driven
him when you didn't knowit, Georgia."
"Uh, you horrid tom-hoyr said
Georgia, half laughing.
lint Kato gave httlo Uhnssv a sound
box on tho ear. Her black eyes flash
ed wrathfully.
"Christine, sho said, "I'm ashamed
of youl You'ro a disgraco to the
family. Don't howl uo 1" as Chrisay,
rubbing her empurpled oar, broke into
an indignant wail; "tho Morcfields
will hear you. Go quick cot on your
hat; and mind you don't show your
self at tho tea-table. Your now frock
isn't finished, and your old ono ien't
half decent; and besides you'll bo need
ed in tho kitchen to wash dishes."
Tho tears dried on Chrissy's eyelash
es at tho prospect of driving old Jenks
tn tho station all by herself.
She made hasto to pull a white wor
sted cap over her rebellious hair, and
to scramhlo into tho rather dilapidated
Uap that was waiting at tho door.
"Heo up, JetiKi-r sho cried, Brandish
ing'tho whip with gletful countenance.
"Peter, I'm going to drivo to the Bta
tionl"
"All right, miss, said Peter, who,
fresh from tho depths of the newly
emptied cistern, was holding old Jenks,
as if there was any danger of that an
cient steed running away.
"Drive careful past Bowery lano
ho al'ays wants to turn in there and
mind ynn keep a tight grip o' tho reins
if you meet a load o' barrels or ono ot
them jinglin' tin pedlar's wagons."
A way clattered tho vonerablo trap,
old Jcnks falling into a stiff trot like
an automatic horse, and Criesy fairly
radiant with delight.
"But Kato oughn't to havo boxed
my oars," fho pondered, as tho first
elation subsided, "ihero was nothing
wrong in drivin r the load of cabbages
homo. I camo by tho back road, and
nobody saw mo. I don't lovo Kato
nor Georgia, neither. They're always
laughing at mo and making fun of me,
just because I grow so fast and my
dresses aro so short. They won't let
me cnuo into tho room when thoy'vo
got company, becauso I'm only a ohild;
and they scold me for running races
with the dog, becauso I'm a woman.
I wonder if thoy call that consistency
Never mind; I'll pay 'em off yot -eo
if I don't!"
By dint of extraordinary efforts on
tho part of old Jenke, and a liberal ap
plication of tho whip on that of his
mistress, they contrived to reach ono
sido of tho station building just as tho
train stramed away from tho other.
Chiistlnc looked up and down tho
platfnim. Most of tho passengers had
already started forth in difforent direo
lions; but ono man stood there, glanc
ing up and down tho road, with a val
iso in bis hand, a folded newspaper
protruding from tho coat-pocket.
Chrissy hesitated what to do; then
sho rose to tho emergenoy.
"Halli'l" she cried," in a sweet, high
pitched soprano voico. "Aro you tho
gentleman from tho city tho new
boarder!"
Hu advanced with rather a puzzled
countenance
"Yes." said ho. "I"
"I've como to drivo you to tho cot
tage," said Christina Blessington.
"Jump in, ploapel Where's your box?
Thero's room for it behind."
"My portmanteau is to ho sent by
tho carrier. But "
"Oh, vory wnll!" said Chrissy. "Bo
quick, please, tho liorso won't standi'1
Tho stranger cast an amusing glance
towards old Jenks, who certainly look
ed as littlo liko a runaway steed as
could ho imagined, as ho Blood there,
meekly balanced on threo lege, with
his head haugine down.
"And who aro you!" said ho pleas
antly. ' Ono of tho family!"
'Oh, I'm Chiiesy the youngest
girl, yon know!" exolaimod she.
"Tho youngest, eht Aro thcro many
of you!''
Chrissy oyed him with a sidelong
glance.
"He's curious about us," thought
she. "Well that's natural."
And sho answered complacontly.
"Well, thero's Georgia she's twenty
two. And she's engaged to an ofilcor
in tho army, although sho thinks I
don't know it.' And Kato is twenty,
and she's going to Bot her cap for tho
new principal of the Bchool, At least
she says bo. She's tired of making over
olel gowns, nnd dyeing old ribbon, and
keeping genteel boarders. I don't envy
tho principal of tho school," Chrissy
added, giviDgold Jenks an admonitory
touch with tho whip, as ho showed an
unduo ln Unatton to sidlo towards
Bowery lane. "Knto has got an awful
temper. Sho flew into a pastion and
boxed my ears just boforo I started."
"JJoxod your earBl repeated tho
stranger, repressing a strong inclina
tion to laugh, "Why, how old arc
you?"
"I'm mloon and a half,' said Uhnssy,
almost wishing sho had not told tho
incident, as tho crimson Hush roso up
to tho very roots of her hair. "And
sho oughtn't io treat mo liko a child!
1 wish slio would get married and go
away. I should bo a deal happier
without tier. Oh. ohl thcro comes a
load of barrels! Old Jenks is awfully
afraid of a load of barrels. Ho always
shies wbon ho sees ono."
"Let mo tako tho roins," suggestctl
her passenger.
And presently, tinder his charge, old
Jcnks, who, to do him justice, had
ovinoed no particular emotion of any
sort, was engineered safely past tho
fearful object.
And then Chrissy pointed out tho
various localities to him, told him
about tho ghost that was said to walk
in old Sejuiro. Hart's deserted house,
showed him tho plaoo whero a fox was
caught in tho spring, and confided to
him whero to go if ho wanted to find
tho finest nutting copses of tho vicin
ily-.
And whilo sho was enlarging on
theso subjects, old Jenks stoppod Bleep-
ily at tho front gato of tho pretty
lilfBSiugton cottage.
All the Morcficld heads were at tho
window Mrs. Morclield, Jeanncttu
Morcfield, Susanna Morefield, and the
married Miss Morcfield, whoso present
natno was iura. Josiah btubbs.
"Bless mcl" said Mrs. Stubbs in
stago whisper, "what a very genteel
vouno; man? '
"Its tho city boarder," explained
Mrs. Blossingtoii, between tho twinges
ot her neurainia. "Uoctor liuucr re
commended bim hero for puro country
air. He's just up from malaria fever.
and needs change, and Doctor Buffer
dear, good man knew how wo were
situated, and that wo had a nico front
room to spare"
"nuniphl'' commented Mrs. Moro-
field. "Ho dou't look much like a sick
manl"
Whilo Kato rau out to open tho
door, all smiles nnd freshly-tinted pink
ribbons.
"Is it Mr. Dorranoe?'' sho said. "I
am Miss lilessington with her most
engaging air of welcome. "Please
walk in. I hopo you haven't Dr en very
much tried by tho tho lournoy.
"It's Kate.'' whispered ChrisBy, snd
dcnly overcome by pangs of compunc
tion. "Don't let her know 1 told you
about her temper."
"I'm afraid there is somo mistake,"
said tho gentleman pausing in tho very
act of taking his valiso out of the
wagon. "My name is not Dorranoe.
And I was going to Mr. Kalkner's
place, whero 1 havo engaged board for
tho winter. I am John Wilder, tho
principal of tho Bchool."
Chrissy dropped the reins, jumped
ou, of. tho wagon and ran to h'ulo her
self in the hay-mow of tho barn.
Tho Morcfields stared harder than
ever. Kato Blesjington looked iufi
uitely puzzled.
"Dear me!" she said, "its ono of
Cbristino's blunders. Wo aro very
foolish to havo trusted her. Do como
in, Mr. Wilder" wjth a still more
winsomo smilo "and ivst yoursilf.and
have somo tea. Wo aro all anxiety to
beconio acquainted with our new prin
cipal. Pete! Pete! don't unharness the
horsel Go straicht back to tho station.
Mr. Dorrauco must bo waiting thcro
yell"
But Mr. Wildor, with a peculiar ex
pression of tho mouth and eyes, de
clined Miss BlessingtnnV ivitation.
Ho would go immediately to Mr.
Falkner's, ho said, if they would bo
goo 1 enough to tell him in which di
rcctiou it was.
And so ho bowed himself away.
Chrissy Blessington .was veiy silent
and dispirited when .she undo her ap
pearance! in tho graduating class of tho
school at tha opening of tho term, and
sho scarcely ventured to look at Mr.
Wilder as bo enteied her nnmo at, the
head of tho list.
At recess sho lingered a little, as if
thcro was something on her mind.
"Well, said tho principal kindly.
"I'm so sorry that I said thoso fool
ish thingfl'' burst out Chrissy, with
tears sparkling in her eyes. "That day,
you know, that I took you for tho city
gentleman, and drovo you to our houso,
please, pleaso target tho I Kato
and Georgia aro always telling mo that
I shall get into mischief with my
tonguo and now I know that thoy aro
right.
And poor Chrissy broke into a sob,
in spito of all herself control.
"My ohild, do not fret yourse-H,
said Mr. Wilder; "I will remember
nothing that you would havo ino for-
got."
At tho end ot tho year, when tho
Christmas snows lay whito nn tho hill
tops, Mr, Dorranco was still boarding
at tho Blessington cottage, and tor
menting evorybody on tho subject of
his "diet."
Georgia was getting ready for her
marriago with tho nrmy ofliccr, Kato
was lamenting her solitary blessedness,
and Chrissy littlo Chrissy, who was
not vet sixteen was actually engaged
to Mr. Wilder, tho now principal of the
school.
"Though, of courso," said Mrs.
Blessington, "sho can't bo married for
a year yet. "Why, sho's nothing but
a child."
"But I don't mind wailing a little,'1
said Chrissy, "for tho family all treat
mo with respect now. Kato dou't daro
to box my ears any more.''
"I should think not," said Mr. Wil
der. President Garfield's Fliyeiciac.

havo aUo noticed how tho ladies fre
quently riso suddenly from thoir seats,
shako themselves with an odd kind of
littlo movement and then sit down.
Both of theso movements aro duo to
tho bustlo.
And now Iho nows comes from
Washington that Mrs. Cloveland has
concluded to discard tho bustlo. Of
courso it is of vital interest to every
woman in tho land. Everything con
nected witli this important question
has been discussed by tho Now York
ladies. Fat and lean, old nnd young,
rich and poor, thoy all wear bustles,
and they aro all anxious to kuow
wnttiier tnoy will continuo to wear
them.
It was with tho desiro of learning
all that llieio was on this subject that a
reporter visited tho leading faslnonablo
dressmakers yesterday to Gnd out what
was tho tendency and drift in bustles,
"Mrs. Cleveland's departure," said
--,. .... . -
iteuiern, -nas attracted prolound m
terosst in Now York, and may affect
bustles in tho fall. You kuow bustles
aro gradually growing smaller and
smaller. This is tho tondonov abroad.
and wo get all our fashions from there.
Wo uso a cushion instead of tho storo
bnstlo and it can be mado of tho same
material as tho gown. It is made of
silk, usually, and is stuffed with horeo-
halr and then quilted. It is sowed in
under tho foundation of the skirt.
Two steels are sowed in this founda
tionalso. Over theso aro draped tho
dress. Tho first is sowed in nino inches
below the waist, tho second seven
inohea. They havo strings attached
to tho ends which permit of tho bustlo
being eulargod or decreased. Now, to
r.how you how tho bustlo is decroaaing
in sizi', the. so Btoels a year ago were
twenty-threo and twenty-seven inches
long respectively. Now they aro only
eoventoen and twonty-ono and tboy aro
constantly growing smaller."
"Is thero any differenco between
butles for fat ladies and lean ones?
"Very much. A very fat lady will
havo only a slight hint of a bustle.
x ou seo she dues not need muoh to nc
cominodato hor form, whilo a very loan,
turn lady nocds all sho can get.
"Mrs. Cloveland ia probablo assisting
to kui wnat would bo at an end in
lowmore years, if signs mean anything.
Bustles havo had a long run. They
camo in about seven years aso, and
succeeded tho Princess robes. You
remember them, I suppose? They
were skin tight. I havo seen them so
tight a lady couldn't Btep moro than
twelvo inches. Bustles wero first mere
ly frilled hon-o hair. Then thoy grew
mrgur until uvo years ago, when tboy
readied ineir maximum
"To sit down with n bustlo is an art.
You have noticd ladies sitting down
at tho theatre, I suppose? Now I shall
snow you how a lady ought to sit
down, with a medium sized bustle, so'
as not to attract attention. A voung
lady was called in from an adjoining
room, alio was asked to sit down anil
sho sunk into a chair without tho
(lightest effort
"How do you manago it so easily,'
asked tho reporter, lost in "admiration
of tho simplicity of tbo motion so un
usual.
"It is very simple," answered tho
young lady qnietly pushing her dress
around with her liand to properly local
the bustle- "You see, I simply let' tho
steels toucn tho side ot tho chair as
sink into it, then I give a sharp push
to ono sme; tuo uustio goes over to th
other and I am all right. Ladies don'i
sit Hat down, because if they did they
wouiu no on a nign cushion. Somo
times tho steels got fastened m the
dress and tho bustlo gets uncomfort
able. Then the lady has to get n
and adjust it."
There was considerable trouhlo i
gelling any direct expression of opi i
ion from tho leading lady dressmakers.
Tho subject was ono of too much im
portance for them to commit them
selves until they had returned from
Pans in tho fall. At Mrao. Suttzor'i
they wero very guarded. Thoy had
heard nf Mrs. Cleveland's change. I
met, mcy naei discuascd it with somo
of their customers. Bustles wero
growing smaller, there was no doubt of
that, vory much smaller; but then tho
bustlo had been in a long tim. It
bad its Inenils ami thoro was no toll
mg. Uuo thing was certain, in house
dresses tho bustlo had gone out.
At ill me. JJouovan's tho reporter
was toid tnattnero would be no mater
ial change until fall. "Wo mak
dresses for Airs. Whitney and for
nearly all of Mrs. Cleveland's frionds
in Washington. Thoy have not order
ed tho bustles out. They aro all cot
ting smaller, but thoy havo been for
Borne time.
"Do you uso tho same kink of bustles
as aro used in tailor-mado gowns? '
"Just tho same. Wo make them
ourselves and (it thorn in. Do I think
thcro will bo a revolution in bustles on
account of Mrs. Cleveland's departure?
No, I do not. Wo aro asked about it
a good deal by ladies, but wi tell them
all thero will bo no change until th
fall. My own impression is that
bUBtlcs will gradually pass away."
At Mmo. Connelly's thero had boen
no change noticed and nothing could
bo learned detrimental to tho bustle,
It was reported that Mrs. Cleveland
had her dresses mado there, but bIio has
not had any of hor bustleless dresses
mado in New York. Mies Roso Eliza
betli Cleveland had somo dresses mado
at a downtown storo a month ago, hut
they wero nil properly supplied with

A young man who has a great deal
to do with type-writers tells that they
aro still in nn experimental shapo and
that the noxt fow years will boo still

of tho fuluro will not only be capable
of much greater Bpccd than tbo prcsont

in construction and far moro durable.
Ono of the simplest and cleverest of
tho (lev ices to bo introduced in tho

with somo other labor-saving devices,
it is expected, will enable an expert
type-writer to do sovonty words a min
