HOW A LADY SHOULD ACT
WHEN SERENADED.

"Wi.l you please tell mo what is
proper for alady to do when che ID
serensd.dp" In romance 1t is
usually written: "The curtains were
seen to nut,er, ard q white hand
emerged and tossad down rose"
In roal life the crs'om is to light the
Gas in order to give ille se,oaaders
the sst.s fiction OF knowing that tho
fair lady is awake. OF course. the
curtains, which have been left open
to .et in the summer Dir, should first
DO clcsed, but nine times ont OF ten
the girl gets Illustrated, and forgets
the euvtaius unil ths room is iilu-
minated. Then shc gives q little
yell and craw!s under the bed.-Me''
