a good story is circulating among the

tised for wife. Az we hear the yarn, it
runs abott as follows:

ceived an exquisitely worded billet doux,
in feminine hand Of the purest copper
plate stamp on delicate paper, redolen
with the aroma of ladys boudolr, which
requested meeting ON Michigan avenue
at halfpest eight clock Sunday evening.
The ,hted recipient was prompt to
the hour, and met a lady closely yelled,
who took his arm and conducted him in
silence to one of the handsomest mansions
ON the avenue. They entered the gate
and with thrilling, "sh-hI' the lady
led him by the hand in at the basement
door, through long passage, into an
apartment shrouded in darkness. A chair
was placed behind him and he sat down.

at his feet, and his boots were dexter

stfonger sensation before him. Sud
denly the gaslight flashed up, and as soon
as he could accustom his eyes TO- the glare,
he discovered himself in kitchen sur

maids who made the room resounf with
laughter. To add to his horror, the door
opened and the lady of the house entered
clad in beauty and silks, and bent upon
him pair of wondering black eyes =

but BY the assistance Of the coachman
we safely removed him to the outside 81
