HITCHrsG OS -fiuuying through the world we
often meet with little h,ches that retard our course
stop some favorte pursuit. or aid in turning Us
aside frcm the beaten path. We often, too fnd our.
selves litched en- to something that retauls our
course, and drags heavily at our skirts 10 til.
"ruIal districts how often, in the days when lJag
surtouts were all the 60 have found a very long
unweGy scion Of crab tree last years growth Of
blackberry vine, following "into NEE ing" We
wonder now how the ladies, sweeping, long skirts
get over such things in the country, when it is JUS as
much as they can do TO keep the sidew alks clean
swept in the cry In that they do succeed some
streets are cleaner than they in pdch days when
women wore wooden shoes, red stockings AMI petit
coats uncou mon short. And some they do not sue
cetd because they occasionally bitch on TO more thsn
load We wtnt ssed Of these bitches yesterday.
A couple that we set down and wife SURE
because we never heard any other couple say
"my dear" with subj a cutting look and mean
ing emphasis-were coming down Broadwiy,
bound for the Hudson River Railway Station, down
Chambers street wi h, the lady said "not
minute 10 spare The gent thought differently.
ard insisted on five minutes at least "by my watch.
Tie LADY didn't care e. for his wa.ch-it WIS al
ways wropg-he was always too slow" We can
youch for her that she is not. woman with such
sharp tongue Will cut her way through the world and
be in at he death She is not SLOW. Her better

"ust ninute"to speak to a friend on the corner.
| The lady would not wal. She went on, got near
enough the station TO have got on the first car but
waited for her husband who after al was right there
were five minutes to parc-very long ones they were,
too to her. Presently the driver htched on to car
numbs ole, sLd away went the horses on quick
trot down Hudson street and down the grade at no
such sDails pace as her husband Travelled. Didn't she
wish the drivers whip was cracking around
husbards' instead of horses heels. Glitch on

away went car number three. :" wish,

neck" lie would have got hitch that would have
hitched him on, SO that he would have no chance to
etop "iust minute" to talk or think He would

That woman was getting excited. No wonder. Her
trunks ar band boxes ani every dress in the world,
were on that train, marked, Saratoga where she
inter ded to bitch to the last of the season., TIE
nights were already get.itg cool, and company would
soon be leaving. 1t was an exciting time, for the
horses were hitched to The last waiting for the
