who changed herself from a really
pretty woman to one so ill favored
that it is unpleasant to look at
her. It only took some fifteen
years to work the transformation.
She was, to begin, of a graceful
figure. Her eyes were dark and
brilliant, her skin, though that of
the brunette, was smooths and
somely. She was perfectly up in
all society smallness—the conven
tional elbow crookings, the arti
ficial society smile, which rnbsoff
more easily than any other sort of
smile known. The only special
points notable in the lady’s face
were that she showed her teeth
more than most people do when
she smiled the society smile and
that her nose was rather long and
sharp. And talk I Good heavens?
She talked you down and drowned
you’out and t hen talked your head
off afterward.
For the rest, it was to be noted
that her ocean of society small
talk was not always harmless
She tried to run everybody’s
affairs, and she knew what other
persons ought to do better than
they did themselves, although her
own life was anything but a suc
cessful one. If introduced to a
stranger, particularly one who
was wealthy or held an enviable
social position, she wonld gush
like a schoolgirl over the individ
ual, protesting undying love on
short aqcuaintauce.
On short acquaintance, too, she
became extremely intimate with
people, nosing with her long pro
boscis into their most sacred pri
vate affairs, which she afterward
retailed mercilessly to all the
world, twisting the facts so as to
make a good story, sometimes
putting evil and malicious con
struction on words and acts the
most innocent. She came to be
known as a stirrer up of mischief.
When called to account now and
then for her evil utterauces she
did not hesitate a moment at any
sort of “society lie” to smooth
matters over or to make herself
apnear well. Many a time she
said things which she knew to be
absolutely untrue just because
The process of transformation

into the malicious falsifier was
gradual one. At first she made
exaggerated statements about
tbyigs, just carelessly or to make
a story sound big. She applied
this method especially to other
people's personal affairs. In the
course of time she had so lost the
sense of exactness that it is doubt
ful whether she was any longer
-capable of seeing the truth pre
cisely. Then, too, the malice in
the woman, somewhat latent in
her youth, developed more and
more till she became one to be
shunned. It was known that Bhe
talked evilly about her dearest
friends behind their backs
Now note how fifteen years of
this kind of functioning on the
social plane affected the woman’-
physical appearance. ,The face
-has become shriveled into a mil
lion little creases of the kind the
girls call “pin wriukles.” The
brunette skin is parchmeuty, at
rabilious, almost mahogany col
ored. The nose has become beak
like, and there ie a sour, dissatis
fied sniff to it, as though some of
the unhappiness the woman has
been eo long causing other people
had at length turned back on her
self. No doubt it has. She was
used to keep ber acquaintance in
hot water; now ehe herself is in
hot water in her own soul.
Phyeically, however, the trans-
jformation is perhaps most appa
rent in her teeth. They are now
discolored, yellow, and they are
longer and sharper than they were
oi old. They Bomehow remind
you of the teeth of a crocodile,
built for bitiug and tearing.
When the woman goes now to
social gatherings no crowd of sis
ter women runs toward her to greet
her with a hearty handshake and
affectionate words Acquaintan
ces are civil, as all well br d wo
men are, but nothing more. There
no light of love or joy in their
eyes. She glides among them,
with her soured, haggard, ugly
face and now skinny figure, the
skeleton at the feast.
She has done all this herself by
indulging a propensity for unkind,
suspicious thought and gossip.

An Athens Man
In this great country of ours,
with its limitless idea* and uu-
bounded possibilities there is al
ways something that can be
worked up in a mind for the bet
terment of a people, as well as to
make tasks mnoh lighter. Inven
tions are always going on and if
some oid philosopher of a few
years ago should happen to awaken
from his long sleep the changes
in conditions would almost para-
lyic him. We guarantee he would
walk backwards when he saw a
street car coqio up the street.
Inventions are not always made
for the convenience of the inven
tor but for general good, yet the
invention in hand, may have been
brought about \>y our friend and
fellow-eititen, Mr. J. B. McClurd,
when he desired to get of the train
and turniug looee the railings he
thought he was going to etrike the
ground, but found himeelf lying
on his baok in a ditch, aud deci
ded that this ebonld not happen
to the balance of humauity, or bo
may have gotten sorry for the
conductors who must continually
carry that little stool to let the
people step on when they get out
.of a car, but no matter what the
incentive, he went to work, and
has invented a moveable car Btep.
This new step is so constructed
that as soou as the conductor
reaches the platform he touches a
lever and the step immediately
gets in place just above the grouud
making it easy to get on aud off
the train, and as soon at the train
it ready to start another pull on
the lever aud the step is raised
immediately beneath the cast step
on the car and out of the way of
all obstructions. It is an exceed
ingly s.tuple device aud will
doubtless be used by all the rail
roads.
Mr. McClurd is machiuist at
the Southern depot in this city,
has been working on the idea for
tome time, and finally oompleted
it to his satisfaotiou aud is now
having a patent applied for, which
will be granted. We look for
great success for this iuvention.

Dislike of Women
To Tell Their Age.
Assistaut District Attorney
Rand of New York, was talking
about the dislike t hat women have
to telliug thi-ir age in court.
"Iu a New York court I once
heard a lawyer examining a mai
den lady. He was by no meant
young, but he strove to concetl
his years. He wore a wig aud his
mustache were dyed. When he
asked the ladv herage she bit her
lip and frowned at him.
‘“Your age, madam?’ he re
peated .
“She continued silent. She
frowned harder than ever.
"’Really, rnadame,’ aaid the
lawyer, J must insist npou your
answering my quest ion. Obstinacy
it useless here. How old are yon?’
" ‘Forty-three,’ she said savage
ly. ‘How old are you, you fool?
You look about 901’”
