An Important Question.
Boston Globe.
That he is eccentric no one will deny
after hearing of his last littls adventure
with lady friend, who, by the way, IS
petite, pretty and pert-three character
istics most happily combined in her
case. AS for him, he is blonde with a
round-eyed face, wearing an ex pression
at once shrewd and laundering. That he
is shrewd he often proves, but that he
can commit the greatest blunders with
the most child-hke innocence is equally
we'll known to his acquaintances. An
evening or two since, dressed in his sum
day best, he called on the young lady in
question. After discussing the COM
mon topics of the day, suddenly, with
no warning, except an uneasy twisting
of his chair, the hero of the tale ex-
claimed: ''Miss NJ, might l ask you
p very important questionP' This in
the most uneasy, sepulchral voice inn
aginable. "Why," said the young
lady, somewhat startled at the solemn
turn of affairs, 81 don't know as there
would be any serious objection if you
have an important question to ask"
''Wen,'' drawing little closer and in
a more confidential whisper, ''do you
think this propiLious time?'
''There's no one near TO hinder that
see, was the coquettish answer, as the
young lady glanced about the room
where nothing more substantial thanthe
''moon's pale beams showed any signs
of notion
Sand do you think .that-that YOU
could grant the request?''
''Why, really, Mr.. Show can you
expect me to answer before 1 know the
question:
Observation-Disclosures I-wen''-
''Well whatP'' with just the slightest
impatience in her voice.
''Well, you see, 1 had been thinking
for some time that if-n there was real
~ no objection, would like to ask you
with what-what sort of powder you
clean your teethP 1 had noticed how
nicely" but the slamming of door
as the young lady whisked ont of the
room broke short his sentence, and
after awaiting her return some fifteen
minutes, he took his hat and in mild
surprise wandered homeward. The
next day he told his most intimate friend
that Miss M-was little of tho night
before, but he couldn't think of any
thing he had said or done to offend her.
