A TELEPHONY
How q Young Boston Bank Clerk
aud Would-be Washer
Was TAKEN In.
From the Boston Globe.

From the Boston OlODe.

office ~ a boy whose voice has not
yet taken on the bass tones of man.

quality. He substitu. ed for a young
Lady operator -one day and, in the
course of his duties, was eel to
smile very broadly. His nearest
neighbor, a young lady, seeking to
find the cause of his amusement, was
told that a bank clerk up town was
trying to flirt with him. No sooner
said than the young lady connected
this particular bank clerk with all
the operators in the room, and all OF
them took in the conversation, in
GLIDING the answers dictated to the
boy by his lady friends. The uptown
masher exulted in his easy conquest,
and appointed a meeting, saying
that when the. central office closed
he would station himself in a certain
doorway, and that the fair damsel
might know that he was the proper
party by a nosegay he would wear in
his buttonhole.
At the appointed time about a
dozen of the girls proceeded to walk
leisurely up street, in groups OF three
and four. In the stated doorway
stood the hero, fa~ultlessly arrayed,
with kid gloves and cane, and TIE
aesthetic bouquet. As the first group
approached he ran his eye pleasantly
ove their faces in search of some
token of recognition. But they pass
ed him by, laughing in their sleeves.
The same treatment was given by
the next group, who could scarcely
restrain their laughter at the excite
ment of the elegant young man. AS
the last group approached his excite
ment got the better of him, and he
stepped lightly forward, bowling and
smirking, and said in his most cap
tivating way, (Which one is it?

the faintest shadow. Of a smile, and
coldly stared at him without a word
and passed on.
