those who had duck. de-, were equally
clamorous in complaining Of the undue

in that usually well-regulated upstairs
saloon before and by the by. never
did it subside more suddenly than when
the new brush OF skirts was heard COM
ing up the stairs. All the Lotharios
were once more in position, when 10!

aex Of the first, appeared. bearing the
film of strawberries as challenge in
her hand. and sweeping with it, like
