Getting Out Of q Dilemma.

An exchange relates the following anus
ing incident, which is stated to have occur.
red at Chicago during the recent conven.
ton: Two fashionable young ladies from
New York, with profusion of skirt and an
immensely Of hoops, desired to enjoy
bird s eve view ofthe city, and we're for that
purpose conducted by some gallant gentlemen
to the roo f Of high building. When they
reached the ladder leading to the small scut-
tie hole, it became desirable, of course, for
the gentlemen to ascend first. This they
did; and taking the hands of the ladies as
they made their appearance through the
scuttle, handed, or rather dragged them up
on to the roof As they rose through the
small opening, their hoops, from the waist
down, became more and more compressed,
requireing no little effort to pull them
through; but suddenly the feat was accom-
pished, and the hoops, bursting forth from
the scuttle hole, once more expanded into
their original rotundty. After enjoying the
scene for some time, the party started for
the downwarl voyage; but then came the
rub. While it had been comparatively easy
for the ladies to squeeze through the scutte
hole, commencing from the waist, and ris
ing upwards, it was a;different task when the
bottom Of the hoops had to he compressed
into the same space for the descent. When
one side was squeezed in, the other side still
remained out When the front was gath
cred together and pushe! through the hole,
the back was found to be sticking up at an
awkward elevation. No fitting together of
the joints of a stovepipe ever caused so
much labor and vexation rs did the attempt
to compress those large hoops into that little
opening. After several Intellectual efforts,
but one way appeared to get out of the di
lemma appeared. The gentlemen were re-
quired to descend while some mysterious
operation was performed, and were partcu
larly cautioned not to come up again until
called. When the signal was given, and
they once more mounted to the root, their
fair cpmpanions were discovered standing
I'm all the sllmnesS or uncrinoned grace,
while near by lay two huge, mysterious look
ing circles of skeleton bones and snews
The descent was then easily accomplished
rush was made by the young ladies to
their chamber, and "Mary Ann" was dis
patched on salvage expedition to the root,
to bring in the remaining portion of the
wreck. tn
