wore 1t in the Street--tu moueSt lot tnat.
Wal, she was going to surprise the party,
take her dress off with her, steal off
among the bushes, put it on, and then
come back, and exhibit herself. This is
the way she meant to surprise 'em--and
wait little end you'll see she did it hand
somely, tu.
'Fhe great day arrived. The gals all
looked as smiling as infants and sweet as
straw berries, and the fellers all looked
'ceedingly scrumpshus. The gal wot III
tended to surprise the party made nice
little bundle of her Bloomer, and slowed it
away in her bag. Bimeby, the party made
start war the eating of the arrangement
was to take place, which was quiet little
spot in the woods, war nobody could see
their carryin' On. Wal, they got there
at last, and the gals commenced spread
ing the dishes on the grass, and the
fellers commenced to kiss the gals; then
the gals commenced shaving up the ham
and bread, and the fellers went to hugging
the gals-and the whole scene presented
an animated pictur, as the Bible says
Wal, while all these things were going on,
the gall with the Bloomer dress slips of
among the little trees, and commences
fixing herself up. She dars'nt be gone
long, for fear they will suspect something.
So she went to work in earnest and in q
few minits she came bounding 'mong the
party just like young deer with dogs
after it.
l could see she had done this to surprise
the party, and fyou'd seen the capering OF
the gals and fellcrs, yeou'd believe she had
succeeded most beautifully.
AS soon as she made her appearance
among the party, the gals screeched like
owls, and hid their faces in their aprons.
The felIers they howled like all fred-and
some rolled on the ground among the
dishes and fxens, just as if they'd been eat
ing green apples and sich lively time as
there was generally, can't be imagined
And all this time there stood the Bloomer
gal larfn just as if she'd collapse. Bime-
by, one of the gals up and put for the bush;
then another did the same-and purity soon
the whole went just like lot of sheep
This kinder took the gal by surprise her
self; she didn't reckon so much as this
| She looked around and seeing nobody but
the feilers. and they all hollcring and
capcrin' like mad-and then she kinder
cast her eyes down to the ground, and as
she did SO, such another screech as she let
off, yeou wouldn't think that little body
| like hers was capable Of containing; and
then she started off tn, after the rest OF
the gals; and the wa- she did go +, Jc-ru-
salem Photographs war no wharf,
But cousin Hez, what made her run SO ?
asked one of the girls.
Wal, meow gals, just hold yourselves
mint, till / get to that part of the story
You see the gal was in such darncd
hurry to get on her rig that she FORGOT
HER PANTS! Fact-tr.le as Gospel. And
sich another sight as she was Chris
topher. Thar she was, with nothing on
but little short frock like just big
enough to holda good sized babyprescnt-
ing picture worth looking at by any
| individual. And ali I've got to say is, that
if half the girls slow as pretty ancles as
Fan
Here Hez vas cut off suddenly BY 3
loud laugh from the whole party. and q
good slap a'ong side the cars administered
by Fanny's soft plump hand, and the party
separately Fanny refusing to give Hez
the kiss promised, and Hez declared he't
never tell her another story.
