young ladies from the upper part of Kingston
had general invitation from the managers to
social hop recently. No gentleman took the
trouble, however, OF asking to escort her to the
hall, and, after arraying herself in magnificent
suit, she thought it would not be dong Justice
either to herself or the managers to stay at home
Therefore she exercised her woman's rights, Or
dered handsome rg from the livery,
stable, and went to the party in excellent sssle.
The boys found it ont, and when it came time to
take her home, dozen asked permission to See
her safe in the caterual mansion. Eut she pos
itively refused, saying, ~ came alone, gentle
men, and, as it has long been my rnIe to alo" 10
person except the ono who escorts .ne to Party pa
to take me home, you must excuse me-" Then
abe told tho driver to move on. Tho boys like
her Independence, anyhow.
