AN INTERESTING WOMAN.

The llrilUant Soelety ISdltor of a Cincinnati I'aper.

Mrs. C. A. R. Devereux, the brilliaut society ediior of the CSncitmati Commercial (•i azelto, lives cm'West Fourtli street, whore, until recently, when three weJ-diuga of licr chililvi:n I'ullowed in quiel: succession, sho was surrouniloil by lui interesting family. Only wee, dainty Morion, who is yet a bud, remains in this homo of refinement.

slie's pert and cn(i\U't tish, in vai}i %\ ill he sm;;

He niiist keep his distance—that's all hccando. Ho havdiy can call her u dear liltlo lUit When slio ini asurea Ave yards round the hem

of lier skirt. When she jumps round in tennis as gay as of

old.

Won't it seem rather chocking and strange to

lielinldV

Anil i;o\v will .she bathe'.' Will she boldly

plun'.;o in

In a balliitig suit ljuiltovcr cork crinoline?

When logeUior they waltz under star spangled skies.

And the band throbs a tune to the song in her eyes,

He can't as of old clasp her close to his heart When a hoop holds them sternly and surely apart.

If ho wants to propose, what a farce it will

see in—

How unlike t'lo sweet iinmuitings of love's

youthful droam. "I adore you, my ilarlini;.'" he'll tenderly say, And he'll wiolfully gaze from sumo six feel

away.

The hanimoek will hang all unused 'mid Iho trees.

Blown sadly about by the scifl summer breeze. With never a thrill tlirough its gay cushions cost

Such as swept o'er its strings in the beautiful past.

And Cupid will sit in a tear hazy mist, , And will silently weep o'er kisses unklssed; Tlion, mad for revenge, his swift arrows he'll whirl

Direct for tlie heart of the Crlnolino Girl!

—Kate Bfasterson in New York Herald.
