A Lover Putting His fOOt In ~.
The Fat Contributor writes: George
has for some time past been attentive
to a young lady on Prospect street whom
he has noticed on several evenings when
he called busily engaged on a beautiful
piece OF embroidery, which perhaps
comparing il with the size Of his own
foot, he had concluded was one Of pair
OF slippers that were, no doubt, intended
for holiday present; and George had
once OF twice allowed himself TO wander
into the pleasing suspicion that they
we're intended for him, although nothing
had really transpired to justify such a
belief. r f|
While quietly seated near his enchaut-
ress, watching her taper fingers grace
fully toying with the gossamer threads,
and each movement adding a new beauty
to the fabric, he had more than once
allowed himself TO revel in blissful con-
temptation of the pleasure he would feel
at having his tiny foot encased in those
lovely sandals, and how on retiring to
his room on cold winter evenings he
could sit in front of his base burner and
hold sweet communion with these mas
ter.pieces Of art, realizing the while,
that they were the product Of the one
he adored above all worldly things be-
sides George is not naturally poetical,
but something about these slippers and
their associations awakened a sentimen-
tai feeling in him, in spite of his natura!
inclination.
Well, Friday evening George called
for the third time during the week. He's
quite attentive, it would seem, and as
usual the slipper was progressing finely.
1t was held up for his inspection, and
he pronounced it beautiful this being
perhaps the thousandth time he had ex-
pressed the same sentiment But the
holidays are near at hand, and some
evil genius put it in poor Georges head
TO be inquisitive. he was fully sure the
slippers were intended for him, but he
was anxious tc draw the acknowledge
ment from the dear angel who was la
boring so industriously for his benefit,
and he was not unwilling to draw in the
same connection another implied ac-
acknowledgement of her devotion for him,
OF course he began cautiously:
Some one you are mighty fond Of is
to become the possessor Of those slip
pers / imagine?" said he.
What slippers do you refer tor in
quired the fair laborer.
why, those you are working on so
industriously," replied George. ~
Slippersp almost shouted his aston
ished companion Slippersl do you
mean to tell me that you took this for a
slipper2"
"Why not2" returned George, mad
vertently moving one OF his ponderous
pedal appendages. The movement
though unintentional drew the lady
attention to Georges feet, where she
gazed momeHt and then at the sup
posed slipper; then raising her eyes to
her hero, she said, well, George, you
are not so much to blame after all, but
this was really intended for sofa cush.
ion. D
George takes but little pleasure in
hearing the incident related, but he de-
clares he got his foot in it-though not
in the slipper.

From Scribner's Monthly, for April.l
OF all things on earth to make trouble,
commend me to letter. You write as
you would say it, but it goes to your
friend without the grace of voice-the
reflection, the gesture, the laugh that
would make joke of it. There are just
the hard, cold words, he can only see
what is said, and be is deeply aggrieved
or angered-los, 70 ROY, perhaps, for
ever. The thing you write in one mood
finds your friend in another, may be in
the very one which, of all others. is least
hospitable to your message. | have
seen a whole family cast down by some
piece of written plessantry on the part
of an absent member oft. And if there
is this danger when you know the
writer's ways and phrases so well, how
much greater the peril in the case Of
mere acquaintances. think cores
pondence should be conducted mainly by
means of printed forms Theodosia
suggests that no one should write with
out these forms who had net been ex-
amined by committee of experts and
pronounced competent. Then another
COMMITTEES should pronounce upon the
competency OF persons to whom written
letters are addressed.
