THEI lay that In the newspaper
. I offices of the city men work la
' 4- rata; that the editorial writer
' Barer report! an Item, no matter how
much ha knows of It; that repoter la
not allowed to express an editorial
.lew of a subject, even though he be
' well Qualified to apeak ; bat on our
little country dally newspaper It la
entirely different We work on . the
Interchangeable point system. Every'
' one wrltea Items, all of us get adver
tising and job-work when It cornea. our
way, end when one of us writes any
thing particularly good, It Is. marked
for the editorial page. - The religious
reporter does the racing matinee In
Wlldwood park, and the financial ed
itor,.; who ge$s the market reports from
the ' feed-store men, also gets any
church news that comes along.
The only time we ever established
a department was when we made Miss
Larrabee society editor. She came
frea the high school, where her grad
es ing essay on Kipling attracted our
attrtfon. and, after an office council
hatf devided that a Saturday society
pge would be a paying proposition.
At first, for six months after she
came to the office, Miss Larrabee de
- voted herself to the accumulation of
professional pride. This pride was as
ranch a part of her life as her pompa
dour, which at that time was so high
taat she had to tiptoe. to reach It
However she managed to keep It up
was the wonder of the office. Finally,
we all agreed that she must use
chicken-fence. She denied this, but
was Inclined to be-good-natured about
It and, as an office joke, the boys
used to leave a step-ladder by her desk
so that she could climb up and see
bow her top-knot really looked. Noth
ing ruffled her spirits, and we soon
quit teasing her and began to admire,
her work. In addition to filling six
columns of the Saturday's paper with
her society report In a town where
eaurch social la important enough to
Justify publishing the names of those
who wait on the tables, Miss Larrabee;
was a credit to the office.' I
She was always Invited to the enter
tainments at the homes of the Worth-j
lvftons and the Conkllns, who bad
stationary washtubs in the basements
of their houses and who ate dinner
InttMd of supper in the evening; and
when she jut on what the boys called
her trotting harness, her silk petticoats
rustled louder than any others at the
party. One day Bhe suddenly dropped
her pompadour and appeared with her
hair parted in the middle and doused
.over her ears in long, undulating bil
lows. No other girl in .town came
within a quarter of an inch of Miss
LaiTflbee's dare. When straight fronts
became stylish", jliss Larrabee was a
.vertical marvel, and when she rolled
up Tier sleeves and organized a country
club, she referred to her shoes as boots
and took the longest steps In town.
But with It all she was no mere
clothes-horse. We drilled It Into her
bead during her first two weeks that
"society" news in a country town
Djeans cot merely the doings of the
- rut-glass set, but hat it means as well
the' doings of the Happy Hoppers, the
Trundle-Bed Trash, the Knights of Co
lumbus, the Rathbone Sisters, the
King's Daughters, the Epworth league,
the Christian Endeavorers, the Wo
nan's Relief corps, the Ladles' Aid and ,
. tie Home Missionary societies, Miss,
Nelson's Dancing class, the Switch-
men's Annual ball If we get their,
Job-work and every kindred, every
tribe, except such asjgather In what
is known as "kitchen' sweats" and oc
casionally send in call for the police.
When Miss Larrabee got this Into her
head she. began to groan under her .
burden, and by the end of the year,
. though she had great pride In her
profession, she affected to loathe her
department ,
Weddings were her especial abomi
nations. When the first social cloud
appeared on the horizon Indicating the
approach of a series of showers for the
bride which would culminate-.in a
cloudburst at soma stone church. Miss
Larrabee would begin to rumble Ilka
distant thunder and, as the storm grew
' thicker, she would flash out crooked
ehain-ligbtning imprecation on the
head's of the young people, their fath
ers and mother and uncles and aunts.
By the day of the wedding she would
be rolling a steady diapason of polite,
decolorized, expurgated, ladylike pro
fanitr. While she sat at her desk writing'
the stereotyped account of the event
It was like picking up a live wire to
speak to her. As she wrote, we could
tell at just what stage she had arrived
In her copy. Thus, if she said to the
adjacent atmosphere, "What a whop-
: per !" we knew that she had written,
" "The crowning glory of a happy fort
night of social gatherings found Its
place when " and when she hissed
out "Mortgaged clear to the eaves and
full of installment furniture!" we felt
that she had reached a point some
thin? like this: After the ceremony
- the gay party assiiubled at the pala
tial borne. ' In a moment she would
tr.nrl: I am dead tired of seeing Mrs.
iutfiiimuD'tf sprawly old fern and the
Bosworth palm. I wish they would
' stop lending them V and then we real
ized that she bad reached the part of
her write-up which said: The chan
cel rail was banked with a profusion
of palms and ferns and rare tropical
plants.' - She always groanej when
nlia came' to the "simple and impres
sive ring ceremony." When she wrote;
The distinguished company came
forward to offer congratulations to the
newly-wedded pair," she would say
as she sharpened her pencil-point :
There's nothing like a wedding to
reveal what a raft of common kin peo
'ple have," and we knew that tt was
! aU over and that she was closing the
article with ; 5 A 1 dasxling array of
J costly and beautiful presents was ex
hibited In the JlbraryV for then she
j would pick up her copy, Jog-ear the
sheets, and Jab them on tne nooa. u
she sighed: "Another great American
picklfrdlsh exhibit ended.", ; ; '
In the way she did two things Miss
Larrabee excited the wonder and ad
miration of the office. One was the
way that she kept tab on" brides.
We heard through her of the brides
who could cook, and of those who were
heirlnnln? life br accumulating a
bright little pile of tin cans in the .
alley. She knew the brides who could j
do their own sewing and those who;
could not- She bad the single girrs

on if h. Mint.' nSu
married woman flirtbfc Miss Larrabee
regaled us by telling with whom the
woman in Question had opened a
fresh bottle of emotions."
The other way in which Miss Larra
jbee displayed genius for her work was
In describing women's costumes. Three
of four times a year, when there are
large social gatherings, we print de
scriptions of the woman's gowns. Only
three women In our town, Mrs. Worth-
Inrton. Mrs. Conklln, and the second
Mrs. Markley, have more than one new
party dress In a fwelve-month, and
-Mlas Larrabee Made races at His Baok
most of the women make a party gown,
last two or three years. Miss Larra-.
bee was familiar with every' dress In
town. She knew it made over, and no
woman was cunning enough to conceal
the truth even with a spangled yoke,
s chiffon bertha, or a net overdress;
yet Miss Larrabee would describe the
gown, not' merely twice, but half a
dozen times, so that the woman wear
ing It might send the description to
her relatives back East without arous
ing their suspicion that she was wear
ing .the same dress 'year after year.
Therefore, whenever Miss Larrabee
wrote up the dreases worn at a party,
wq were sure to sell from fifty to a
hundred extra papera. She could so turn
a breastpin and a home-made polht
lace handkerchief tucked in The front
of a good old lady's best black satin
Into "point-lace and diamonds," that
they were always good for a dozen
copies of the paper, and she never
overlooked the dress of the wife of a
good advertiser, no matter bow plain
it might be.
She was worth her wages to the
office merely as a compendium of
shams. She knew whether the bridal
couple, who announced that they would
spend their honeymoon In the East
were really going to Niagara' Falls, or
whether they were going to spend a
week with his relatives In Decatur,
'111. She knew every woman In town
who bought two prizes for her whist
party one to give, if her friend should
win the prize, and another to give If
the woman she hated should win.
With the diabolical eye of a fiend she
detected the woman who was wearing
-the dry-clenned cast-off clothing of her
sister In the city. What she saw the
office knew, though she kept her con
clusions out of the paper If they
would do any harm or hurt anyone'a
, feelings. No pretender ever dreamed
that she was not fooling Miss Larra
bee. She was willing to agree most
sympathetically with Mrs. Conklln who
insisted that the "common people"
wouldn't be Interested In the list of
names at her party ; and the only place
where we ever saw Miss Larrabee's
claw in print was In the Insistent mis
spelling of the name of a woman who
had made It a point to ridicule the
paper.

with any system. She was not only
Industrious but practical. Friday
mornings, when her work piled up, In
stead of fussing around the office and
chattering at the telephone, she would
dive Into her desk and bring tap her
regular list of adjectives:' These she
would copy on three slips, carefully
dividing fiie list so that no one had a
duplicate, and in the afternoon each of
the boys received a slip with a list of
parties, and with instructions to scat
ter the' adjectives she had given him
through the accounts of the parties
assigned to him and the , work was
soon done. There was no scratching

As the years passed, ' and wedding
after wedding slxxled under her pen,
she complained to as that she was be
ginning to be called "auntie" In too
many, houses, and that the stock of
available young men who didn't wear
their handkerchiefs under their col

who lives in a country town. Then she
ls left with, two alternatives: to go
